Equipped to Lead | Week 19
This week we talked about the moment David became king but more importantly, when the Spirit of the Lord came upon him.
His leadership didn’t start when he got the crown. It started when he was anointed.
We were reminded that the real shift in our lives doesn’t come from a title, it comes from the Holy Spirit.We also walked through the Spring Feasts and how Jesus fulfilled every one of them! From Passover to Pentecost.
The same Spirit that filled David... now fills us.Let this be your prayer:
“Do not cast me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me.” – Psalm 51:11

"Equipped to Lead | Week 15 – The Unseen Strength of Mothers"
This week’s message was a powerful reminder that spiritual legacy is often carried in silence and sacrifice. From Mary’s prophetic pondering to Jochebed’s bold creativity, we looked at how moms are often the hidden strength behind generational anointing.
This message isn’t just for moms—it’s from them.
Watch the full sermon now and be encouraged to honor the unseen, the sacrificial, and the spiritual warriors who lead without a spotlight.

Sermon Notes
God still speaks—and He wants to lead you. But how often do we assume instead of ask?
How often do we obey… even when others don’t understand?
In this message, we look at the life of David and the cry of Moses in Exodus 33:
“Show me now your ways, that I may know you.”
Whether you're in a season of decision, in the middle of a battle, or standing in victory—keep seeking Him.
God speaks through peace, His Word, godly counsel, and His presence.
And His presence is your protection.

🔥 Equipped to Lead — This Week's Message 🔥
This Sunday we’re diving deep into 1 Samuel 22 and asking a hard question: Are we killing the priests?
When we attack spiritual authority, we don't just hurt people — we can destroy entire communities, churches, and generations.
