ACTS OF FAITH

Many times God asks us to do things that don't make sense in order to test our faith and obedience. Throughout the Bible, we see people who trusted God before they saw the outcome. In this message, we'll explore these powerful acts of faith and discover how we can walk in that same faith today. Faith isn't just believing—it's obeying what God has spoken, even when it doesn't make sense.

FULL OF THE WORLD

In a culture overflowing with comfort, success, and material gain, it’s easy to mistake temporal satisfaction for true fulfillment. But what happens when a life that “has it all” still feels empty? This video confronts a hard truth: when our hearts are filled with the things of this world, there’s little room left for God. Scripture warns that loving the world and loving the Father cannot coexist. Many are living well—nice homes, steady income, full tables, yet they're spiritually dry, lacking hunger, desperation, and intimacy with God. This message is a wake up call to examine what’s truly filling your heart. If you’re ready to be challenged, stirred, and called deeper, check out this episode. It’s time to break free from comfort-driven Christianity and return to a genuine pursuit of God.

SON OF GOD & SON OF MAN

SON OF GOD & SON OF MAN In this teaching Alex unpacks the true meaning behind the titles “Son of God” and “Son of Man,” revealing how both declare the full identity of Jesus Christ as fully divine and fully human. Journey through key Scriptures from the Old and New Testament as we explore how these titles are not contradictions, but confirmations of His authority, His mission, and His eternal nature. From Daniel’s vision of the Son of Man to Jesus’ own declarations in the Gospels, this message will strengthen your understanding of who Christ is and why it matters for your faith today.

REST: THE DIVINE PATTERN

From the beginning of creation, God established rest as a divine pattern when He rested on the seventh day in the Book of Genesis, revealing that rest is part of His design for our lives. Our bodies heal and restore while we sleep, showing that physical rest reflects a deeper spiritual truth—trusting God instead of striving. From the Sabbath to Jesus’ invitation in the Gospel of Matthew 11:28 and the promise of rest in the Epistle to the Hebrews 4, Scripture shows that rest is both a command and a gift, and God calls us to walk in His rhythm of peace and surrender.

THE LAYING ON OF HANDS

The laying on of hands is a biblical practice through which God releases blessing, healing, impartation, and commissioning, seen throughout Scripture in the ministry of Jesus and the early Church. In this video, we briefly explore its biblical foundation, what happens spiritually during this act of faith, and why obedience, authority, and discernment matter for believers today.

ALIGNING OUR LIVES WITH THE WILL OF GOD

In this episode, the difference between God’s divine will and His permissive will is discussed—two realities that every believer encounters at some point in their walk with Christ. God’s divine will represents His perfect plan, the path of obedience and purpose that leads to His best for our lives. His permissive will, however, allows us to make choices outside that perfect plan—sometimes painful ones that He still uses to teach, shape, and redirect us. Join me as we unpack how to recognize which will you’re walking in, how to align your life with God’s perfect will, and why even Jesus Himself submitted to the Father’s will in Gethsemane.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TATTOOS NO ONE TALKS ABOUT

Have you ever wondered if something as common as a tattoo could carry more weight than just ink on skin? In this teaching I share what I discovered about the spiritual side of getting tattooed. It includes stories, scripture and a few questions to pray over. Watch with an open heart; what looks harmless at first may reveal deeper ties you weren’t expecting.

A DIFFERENT JESUS

In this episode, I expose the dangers of false teachings and the deception of those who preach “a different Jesus.” The Bible warns us about false prophets and doctrines that twist the truth of Christ to lead people astray (2 Corinthians 11:4, Galatians 1:6–9). Many voices today speak in the name of Jesus, but not all are pointing to the true Son of God revealed in Scripture. Join me as I unpack what the Word of God says about recognizing counterfeit gospels and standing firm in the truth. The real Jesus still saves, heals, and delivers but the enemy is working overtime to distort who He is. Don’t be deceived.

FAITH FROM WITHIN

Does faith originate in the mind, the heart, or in the human spirit? Every person needs a spiritual understanding of who God is, and not just an intellectual belief. In this episode, we explore the depth of true faith, beyond head knowledge into a living encounter with God that transforms the heart and awakens the spirit. It’s about moving from information to revelation, from religion to relationship, and from belief to trust in the One who calls us His own.

GOING BACK TO CALVARY

Take a journey back to the foot of the cross, remembering the costly price Jesus paid for our salvation. It’s a call to renew our joy in what He has done, to rekindle the wonder of grace, and to reflect on where our faith began. Amid the noise of life, we pause to remember the heart of the Gospel. The love, sacrifice, and victory found only in Christ. This is an invitation to return to the place where it all started… Calvary.
