Using teaching materials written by Pastor Ron Wofford - Pastor Young presents a sermon from Proverbs 6:16–19 exploring the seven things God hates. Pastor explains each item — pride, lying, shedding innocent blood, devising wicked imaginations, quick feet to do evil, false witness, and sowing discord — and shows how these actions damage people and communities. The message calls listeners to humility, truthfulness, repentance, and reliance on God’s wisdom and grace as practical ways to guard their lives against these sins and build on godly principles.

Pastor Slims delivers a passionate message on the "reaction principle": how our responses to pressure, pain, and opportunity determine the outcomes in our lives.

The episode includes testimonies of breakthrough, an invitation to respond at the altar, and encouragement to pursue healing, freedom, and a renewed walk with God through consistent faith and obedience.

This message was recorded at Southwest Apostolic Church in Indianapolis and includes personal stories, a call to spiritual growth, and encouragement to prioritize eternal values over temporary distractions.

He urges prayer before service, mutual care, patience, kindness, and practical acts of love as the true fulfillment of God’s law.
Pastor Young walks through Revelation from a futurist perspective, explaining key passages about the beast, the mark, the tribulation, and the millennium.

Listeners are encouraged to let the Spirit guide their conduct, surrender sinful habits, and live as saints—strong, empowered, and ready for God’s purposes.
Pastor explores Hebrews 12:22 and Psalms 48 to present the church as the "perfection of beauty": the blood-bought, Spirit-filled body of Christ, a refuge and city of God. He emphasizes the church’s mission (Acts 2:38, Matthew 28), its heavenly calling (Ephesians), and the life-changing realities available to those who join and remain faithful. This episode is a passionate call to recognize the church’s value, embrace spiritual growth, and invite others into the fellowship and power of the living God.
Pastor Young explores what the Bible calls sin—its definitions, examples, and the idea of "missing the mark." Using scripture and everyday examples, he contrasts humanity's downward drift with God’s call to live as a chosen generation and a royal priesthood. The message stresses conscience, church standards, and Christian responsibility, reminding listeners of God’s mercy but warning of judgment, and urging believers to stay in the right dimension of faith and holiness.
Pastor delivers a clear, practical sermon on the Ten Commandments (the Decalogue), tracing their origin at Mount Sinai and explaining different traditions and numberings. He emphasizes the difference between external law and the New Testament call to have God’s law written on our hearts through the law of love. The message applies commandments like honoring parents, keeping the Sabbath, avoiding covetousness, theft, lies, and adultery to daily life and national foundations, urging listeners to build their lives on Christ’s teachings for lasting stability.
Pastor preaches from Exodus 3 about God as "I AM," urging listeners to live in the present and receive God's power today. Using the stories of the woman with the issue of blood and blind Bartimaeus, he emphasizes that healing, forgiveness, and revival are available right now—not tomorrow. The message closes with a call to action: the altar is open, the Spirit is moving, and anyone who needs God is encouraged to come forward and receive help this very moment.
Pastor Young preaches from Jeremiah 17 about the choice between a curse and a blessing: trusting in man vs. trusting in the Lord.

The episode also encourages heartfelt worship, and offers an altar call for anyone wanting the blessing of God. Contact Southwest Apostolic Church for support or more information.
