  Hagar, Sarah, and Keturah: Three Seasons, One Covenant, Same God 08.06.2026 31min

  Hagar, Sarah, and Keturah: three seasons, one covenant, same God. In this powerful message, Pastor Sam unpacks the seasons represented in Abraham’s journey. Hagar reminds us of what happens when we get ahead of God. Sarah points us back to faith, promise, and divine timing. Keturah reveals the danger of confusing what God permits with what God promised. No matter what season you have walked through, your mistakes do not cancel God’s miracle. Your Ishmael season does not disqualify you from your Isaac promise. God is still faithful, still present, and still working through the covenant He established.

  Can These Bones Live Again? Discern The Noise 04.05.2026 29min

  What if the noise you hear in your life is not everything falling apart, but God putting everything together? In this powerful message from the series God Has A Question For You?, Pastor Sam takes us into Ezekiel 37 and the valley of dry bones, where God asks, “Can these bones live again?” Through this prophetic word, we are reminded that the valley does not get the final word, Jesus Christ is the outcome, and what God forms, He fills with His Spirit. When Ezekiel obeyed and spoke the word of the Lord, there was a rattling noise. Bones came together. Structure returned. Strength was restored. Covering was established. Then the breath of God entered, and what was dead stood up as a great army. This message will stir your faith to discern the noise, speak what God says, and believe that dry places can live again. The sound you hear may be the beginning of alignment, restoration, revival, and resurrection power in your life. Key Points: The valley will not have the final word when you are saved by grace. In order to change what you see, you have to speak what God says. The noise you hear may not be the enemy breaking you. It may be God putting things together in your favor. Every move of God begins with a sound. When God connects it, God covers it. God builds in layers: alignment, strength, covering, and then breath. Form without the Spirit is still functionally dead. What God forms must be filled by His Spirit in order to function in its intended purpose. Your destiny is not based on what is in front of you. Your destiny is based on Who is inside of you. God did not give you life so you could stay seated. He gave you life so you could stand up. Episode Takeaway:When God breathes into what looked dead, everything changes. What was scattered comes together. What was weak becomes strong. What was exposed becomes covered. What was lifeless stands up again.

  What's In Your Hand? 23.03.2026 31min

  What happens when God meets you in the middle of your wilderness and asks you to pay attention? In this powerful message, Pastor Sam Rodriguez unpacks the moment Moses encountered God in the burning bush and reveals how God still speaks in unexpected places, unexpected seasons, and unexpected ways. Before God ever asks, “What’s in your hand?” He first deals with what’s on your feet. This message is a prophetic and practical reminder that God is not intimidated by your past, your pain, or your desert season. He will meet you there, speak to you there, and prepare you there. If you have been walking through obscurity, struggle, distraction, or spiritual fatigue, this message will encourage you to turn aside, recognize the fire of God’s presence, and surrender every weight that has tried to define you. What did not destroy you may be the very thing God uses to reveal His glory. Your past does not disqualify you. Your wilderness is not wasted. And what you surrender to God will determine what He is able to place in your hands. This is your moment to take it off so you can pick up everything God has for you.

  What Will You Place In My Hands? 16.03.2026 28min

  In this message from the series God Has A Question… For You!, Pastor Sam shares a powerful word from the life of Moses and the faith of his mother. Before Moses would ever hold a staff in his hand, his mother placed him in the hands of God. This message is a reminder that what you surrender to God cannot be destroyed by the enemy. What you place in God’s hands today will determine what God will place in your hand tomorrow. If Pharaoh is after it, heaven has already marked it. Be encouraged to trust God with your burden, your family, your future, and your calling. What comes back from God’s hands comes back protected, provided for, and promoted. • Hell attacks what God is about to use• Deliverance sometimes requires letting go• What you surrender to God comes back greater• God protects what you place in His hands• Obedience always carries a reward

  God Has a Question for You | “Where Are You?” 08.03.2026 38min

  God Has a Question for You | “Where Are You?” In Genesis 3, after the fall of humanity, God asks the first question ever directed toward mankind: “Where are you?” God was not asking Adam for his location. He was calling Adam out of hiding. In this powerful message, Pastor Sam Rodriguez explores the three questions God asked in the Garden of Eden and why they still echo through history today. These questions were never meant to inform God. They were meant to transform humanity. Where are you?Who told you you are naked?Have you eaten from the forbidden tree? These questions confront our condition, challenge the voices shaping our identity, and call us to take responsibility for the choices we make. But they also reveal something even greater: the relentless pursuit of a loving God who comes looking for us even when we hide. Through Scripture and practical application, this message reminds us that God’s questions are not condemnation—they are invitations to restoration. Because of the finished work of Jesus Christ, we no longer have to live in shame, fear, or hiding. Our true identity and our true life are found in Him. If you can still hear His voice, there is still hope. Listen now and discover how answering God’s question can lead to healing, freedom, and a restored relationship with Him.

  Where Are You? 01.03.2026 30min

  In this powerful opening message of the new series God Has A Question… For You?, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez takes us back to the very first question God asked humanity: “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9). Before sin, there was no confusion. No shame. No hiding. The garden was filled with clarity, communion, and purpose. Then the serpent introduced doubt with a subtle but dangerous question: “Did God really say…?” In this message, you will discover: • Why the first question in Scripture came from the enemy• How doubt becomes the doorway to disobedience and fractured identity• The danger of editing what God has already declared• The difference between being a spiritual consumer and a spiritual producer• Why God’s question is not condemnation, but invitation From Eden to Calvary, this sermon reveals a powerful truth: the serpent may have asked the first question, but God always has the final word. If you’ve been hiding in shame, negotiating with doubt, or living with partial faith, this message is your call back to 100% trust, 100% obedience, and 100% surrender. The question is not where you are physically.The question is where you are spiritually. Answer Him. Step out of hiding. Let grace relocate you back into His presence. Listen now and share with someone who needs to hear this.

  Focus, Focus, Focus! 23.02.2026 29min

  In this message, Samuel Rodriguez teaches from Numbers 13–14 and calls the church to a singular command: Focus. All twelve spies entered the promised land. All twelve saw the same fruit, the same fortified cities, and the same giants. Scripture is clear. The difference was not what they saw, but how they responded. Ten spread a discouraging report in Numbers 13:31–33. Joshua and Caleb declared, “Let’s go at once… we can certainly conquer it!” in Numbers 13:30 and affirmed in Numbers 14:6–9 that the Lord would bring them into the land. This episode unpacks: • Why what distinguishes you is not what you see, but what you focus on• How God is the Promise Keeper who is faithful to fulfill His word 2 Peter 3:9, Hebrews 10:23• Why every promise is Yes in Christ and belongs to you through Him 2 Corinthians 1:20, Galatians 3:29• The call to live holy because of His promises 2 Corinthians 7:1• The difference between a fear-filled majority and a faith-filled minority• Why you must focus on the Giant inside of you 1 John 4:4, Romans 8:31, Isaiah 54:17 In a culture obsessed with giants, fear, instability, and disruption, this message calls you to become part of the prophetic minority that magnifies God’s presence, power, provision, promotion, protection, and promises. You will occupy God’s promises when you focus on what others neglect. This is not denial of the giants.This is declaration of the Promise.

  In this powerful and faith-building episode, we unpack a simple football lesson that reveals a profound biblical truth: the game is won when you begin with the Word. Just like every game starts with a kickoff, victory in life begins when you start your day, your decisions, and every season of your life grounded in God’s Word. Before the phone, before the emails, before social media — begin with the Word. Because when you begin with the Word, you end in victory.

  Good Things Are Coming! 26.01.2026 20min

  Better is one day in God’s presence than a thousand anywhere else. In this powerful message from Psalm 84:10–11, Pastor Sam reveals the redemptive story behind the Sons of Korah—descendants of rebellion who became authors of worship. Though Korah’s rebellion in Numbers 16 brought judgment, God’s grace redeemed the next generation, proving that past failure does not disqualify future worship. This sermon declares that God can judge rebellion without canceling destiny, confront sin without destroying the future, and discipline one generation without disqualifying the next. You’ll discover that redemption positions you closer than rebellion ever pushed you away, that broken legacies can become worshiping bloodlines, and that God does not need permission to bless, favor, or use your life. Rooted in Psalm 84, this message prophesies that 2026 will be a year defined by the presence of God, where good things come to those who dwell with Him, pursue righteousness, and live redeemed. Better is one day in His courts—and good things are coming your way.

  What A Mighty God We Serve! — El Gibbor 15.12.2025 23min

  In this episode, Pastor Sam unpacks the prophetic weight of Isaiah 9:6 and the name El Gibbor, revealing that Jesus is not symbolically strong or becoming mighty. He is Mighty God by nature. From the womb to the cross to the empty tomb, Christ has always been victorious. This message reminds us that when our strength runs out, God steps in and fights for us. As Scripture declares, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:14), and “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). Jesus rules over every power and authority, for “all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” (Matthew 28:18), and nothing is too hard for our God (Jeremiah 32:17). Pastor Sam also teaches that God’s might is redemptive, not just destructive. “The Lord your God is in your midst, a Mighty One who will save” (Zephaniah 3:17). At the cross, Jesus disarmed every power and defeated the enemy once and for all (Colossians 2:15). The cross did not weaken Him. It revealed Him.

  The Thanksgiving Turnaround 23.11.2025 26min

  In this powerful message from Jonah 2:9–10, Pastor Sam reveals the supernatural impact of thanksgiving offered before anything changes. Jonah didn’t wait for daylight or deliverance—he praised God in the darkness, and heaven responded. This teaching unfolds three life-shifting truths: 1. Thanksgiving shifts the atmosphere before the circumstance changes.Jonah’s environment stayed the same, but his spirit shifted. Gratitude is not a reaction—it’s a revelation of faith. 2. Thanksgiving activates God’s command over your situation.“Then the Lord ordered the fish…” (Jonah 2:10). Jonah praised, and God spoke. Thanksgiving triggers divine intervention. 3. Thanksgiving turns what swallowed you into what propels you.The very thing that tried to bury Jonah became the vehicle that launched him into purpose. Praise still carries that power today. With references to Psalm 100:4, Philippians 4:6–7, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, and Habakkuk 3:17–18, this message reminds us that gratitude is a weapon, a garment, and the key that unlocks God’s favor.
