The Table of Remembrance (Dr. Elton Brooke)

Dr. Elton Brooke, on of our elders and Care Pastor here at Destiny Church, filled our podium today and brought a message about the importance and beauty of communion.

He taught that communion is the lens through which we see everything as believers and challenged us to really think about what Jesus meant when He said "Do this in remembrance of me."

Will you remember the Lord in all that you do this week?

Recovering All: When God Turns Resistance Into Revival (Miles Phelps)

Today we welcomed longtime friend of Destiny Church, Miles Phelps! Miles leads the ministry City for the Nations, which seeks to engage the church to reach the unreached with the Gospel. 

He brought an incredible update about how the Lord is moving all across the world in mighty ways and in that, he taught on breakthrough. More than physical breakthrough, we are facing a revival that starts with Heaven!

God will turn resistance into revival. Will you stand firm while He moves on your behalf?

Unshakeable (Part 36)

Peace isn’t the absence of conflict, it’s the presence of restraint.

Pastor Chris brought the next part in our Unshakeable series this morning and it is a teaching that you absolutely don’t want to miss. He taught that the world doesn’t read the Bible until it first reads you, so it matters how we present our heart to the world. Blessing someone doesn’t reconcile the relationship. It releases your soul.

You don’t just stumble into honor. You have to intentionally recite it. How will you demonstrate honor this week?

Unshakeable (Part 35)

Pressure doesn’t cancel your purpose.

Pastor Chris brought an incredible message this morning that everyone needs to hear about hope, pressure, and the diligence to keep moving forward in tribulation. He taught that pressure can either produce maturity, or it can produce misery. The difference is what you do while you’re in it.

Difficulties are opportunities to grow in freedom. How will you approach yours this week?

Unshakeable (Part 34)

Don’t get comfortable with what Jesus died to free you from.

Pastor Chris continued in our Unshakeable series with an incredible message on holiness, sin, and the love that God shows us in all of it. He taught that love can’t be fake and holy at the same time, holiness means hating what destroys people, love isn’t just sincere, it’s honoring, and God doesn’t anoint comfort, He anoints commitment.

If you treat sin like a pet, it’ll eventually treat you like prey! How will you choose the way you see sin and holiness this week?

Unshakeable (Part 33)

The more you pour, the more He will refine you.

Pastor Chris preached an incredible and powerful message about the weight of spiritual giftings and leadership. He taught that you can’t discover how your gift functions apart from the body it’s meant to serve and those gifts grow as you give it away.

You don’t find your place by waiting, you find it by engaging. How will you engage in your position in the body of Christ this week?

Unshakeable (Part 32)

Nothing changes until your mind does.

Pastor Chris preached an incredible New Year’s message about surrender, transformation, and humility that lead to obedience. He taught that surrender isn’t God taking something from you. It’s God positioning you for everything He’s prepared for you. Before He changes your life, He has to first renew your mind. 

A surrendered life without humility will always drift back toward control. Will you submit to the Lord in humility today?

Before The Walls Go Up

Just because God hasn’t moved yet doesn’t mean He’s not working.

Sometimes He’s just doing the deeper work first. Pastor Chris closed out the 2025 year with a message on rebuilding our foundations that prepared us for 2026 in a way that we all need. He taught that if nothing ever burdens you, nothing will ever change through you.

Will you sit with God longer than your flesh is comfortable with this year? You are not the savior of your situation. Act like it in 2026.

God Keeps His Promise

God’s promises don’t expire just because time passes.

Merry Christmas from Destiny Church! Pastor Chris brought a powerful message this morning about the promises of God. He taught that God’s timing is governed by His wisdom, not our urgency. 

Just because God is quiet does not mean God is gone. Will you choose to have faith in God’s timing this Christmas season?

Unshakeable (Part 31)

You’re Grafted by Grace, Not by Your Gifts.

Pastor Chris preached from Romans chapter 11 this morning from about the saving power of grace. He taught that we have been saved into a promise and that grace is what will get us everywhere we need to go.

Your life will always move in the direction of what you’re plugged into. What are you connected to this week?
