Recovering and Maintaining a Zealous Spirit | Jason Staggers
In preparation for our mid-year week of prayer and fasting, Pastor Jason calls us back to the normal Christian life: a life marked by zeal, fervency, and wholehearted devotion to the Lord. Drawing from Romans 12:11, “Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord,” Pastor Jason unpacks what genuine biblical zeal looks like and how it can often fade. He contrasts the slow, distracted life of spiritual sloth with the Spirit-fueled fire that should characterise every believer. The sermon outlines four key characteristics of a zealous spirit that provide clear direction for prayer during the upcoming fast: It is sustained through regular rhythms of re-consecration. It flows from deep discipleship and inner healing. It produces breakthroughs in outreach and evangelism. It strengthens authentic unity and missional vision in the church. Whether you’re joining the fast or simply in need of a renewed fire for the Lord, this message will stir your heart to pursue Jesus with fresh passion and purpose.

The Call to Maturity | Nikita Kraynev
In Hebrews 5:11–6:3, we read a sobering challenge: many believers remain stuck on spiritual milk when they should have matured to solid food. This powerful message calls us to move past elementary teachings about Christ and press on toward true spiritual maturity; to stop living like we need more teaching, and begin teaching others. Nikita unpacks what spiritual maturity looks like, and what it is not. Drawing from Scripture, he explores the expectation that every believer must grow, the solid foundation required for that growth, and how maturity leads to multiplication. He addresses common misconceptions, contrasts physical, emotional, and spiritual maturity, and offers a clear path forward, rooted in love. Whether you're a new believer or have walked with Christ for years, this message will convict, encourage, and equip you to stop settling for infancy and step into the fullness of what God has for you.
