Love. It is a fire that burns within. It causes us to seek redemption over and revenge and prayer over payback.
**This Sunday’s message from Pastor Jon Purkey will change your life.** In a bold, Spirit-led word titled *"The Power of His Presence,"* Pastor Jon reminds us that without God's presence, we are powerless, directionless, and spiritually dead. But with His presence? We have power, peace, transformation, and purpose.🔥 This message dives into:- Why **truth over tolerance** still matters- The real cost of **spiritual compromise**- How the Holy Spirit **sets you apart**- Why **success without God is failure in disguise**- A powerful **altar call with lives radically changed**- How to live fully in the **power and presence of the Holy Ghost**This isn't a sermon for the faint of heart—it's a **wake-up call to the church**, a declaration of war against fear, division, and watered-down Christianity. Watch until the end for a **Holy Spirit-led moment of salvation and breakthrough** unlike anything you’ve seen.📲 Share this with a friend who needs the truth in love.
He turns sorrow into dancing, ashes into beauty, defeat into victory, and endings into new beginnings. What the enemy meant for evil, God flips for good!
Overcoming the Tempter Have you ever felt like you’re on the mountain top in one area of life, only to be in the deepest valley in another area? How do you handle going from heaven’s approval, to hell’s attack? The account of Jesus in the gospels being led in to the desert and tempted by Satan provides a clear and resounding example of understanding the right response and posture to have when we are at a low point and the enemy’s temptations come calling!!!!!First of all, anchor yourself in the knowledge that being in the wilderness isn’t punishment, it’s preparation.🔥DESTINY DEMANDS A DESERT🔥Victory in private will always precede power in public!!!!!!Jesus embodies this truth perfectly, in Matthew 4:1-11. Through this trial He faced, we can be confident that our Savior has been tested in every way, and we know He can empathize with us, just like Hebrews reminds us!Satan tempts Jesus three times, in three different ways:•Tempting of Proving Yourself•Temptation of Pride •Temptation of ReputationJesus’ responds EVERY TIME with scripture, showing us that the way to combat the enemy’s lies and temptations is with the truth of the Word. Our flesh won’t defeat the enemy. Our emotions won’t defeat the enemy.Our willpower don’t defeat the enemy. SATAN IS DEFEATED BY THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GODWhen he comes in with his whispered lies, offering all the treasures of this world, remember this:You don’t need what the devil is offering, you serve a king who owns it all!!!!Stand firm in the truth of the Word, resist the enemy, he will flee, and you will be strengthened in your faith!
Why Jesus? Because He comes for us as we are. Because He beat death and offers us life. Because the world’s promises fade, but His word stands forever. He is alive. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Following Him may cost us everything, but it gives us everything that actually matters….purpose, peace, and eternal hope.Matthew 10:39 • John 14:6 • Romans 5:8 • Revelation 1:18#WhyJesus #JesusIsAlive #FaithOverFear #HeIsTheWay #HopeInChrist #RestInHim #NothingWithoutJesus #AllBecauseOfJesus #faith #nexuschurchkc
Faith.It is the currency of God’s Kingdom. Without it, it’s not only impossible to please the Lord but it’s impossible to fulfill God’s plan for your life. Our faith is built on our belief. What we really believe about God’s Word shows not in what we say, but in our actions. Faith not only speaks, it moves, alive and active. Challenge yourself to speak ONLY faith based truths, based on what God’s Word says. The profession of your mouth creates the reality of your life. Do not allow the devil to deplete your faith and steal your confident trust in the promises of God’s Word!!!
What does the Lord want you to let go of?Truthfully, most of us have built monuments in our lives to people or things other than God.If our desire is to live obedient to Christ and His Word, we must surrender everything we have to Him.The cost for an anointed, Holy Ghost led life is high. Our pain can be turned to purpose, and suffering to salvation; but only when it’s given unto the Lord.Examine your heart today, are you living a lifestyle rife with self sufficiently, ego, pride, lust, and so on? What is in your heart that you may not want to let go of, but you know you need to give up?Don’t delay, not even another day, set everything aside for the sake of Christ, and step in to the kind of life that can be found only in Him!!!!!!

Alpha & Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Jesus IS and has always been! His is the name above all names, our King of Kings and Lord of Lords!!!Yet in His great mercy Jesus stepped into time, and extended His unfathomable grace and invited us into salvation. Because HE is good, He chose to offer us a way out of our sin and utter desolation. Our hope for life eternal is rooted in Jesus Christ alone!!!Jesus: Loved Us | John 13:1, Romans 8:37-39 Washed Us | Psalm 103, Isaiah 78:13, Micah 7:19 Crowned Us | 1 Peter 2:9Our only response to the greatness of our God is worship, praise, and thanksgiving! He is worthy to be praised and honored and glorified always!!!Time is short, Jesus is returning soon, dig in to His word and allow His love, truth, and grace to radically change your life!!!!!!!
Wisdom, it is the difference between a good life and a God life. Just reading the Word is not enough, wisdom requires application. Knowing what is right and doing what is right are two different things, wisdom is active! Choosing to allow God’s Word to discipline and course correct us, is where true wisdom lies. Proverbs 3 reminds us that God’s correction is born of love and pushes us towards maturity. God is so faithful, His discipline is productive and gracious. We can trust that He knows what is best for us, and has never left us alone. Dig in to God’s Word, apply it to your life and allow it to change you! God see’s who He created us to be, despite our flaws. No one can turn our lives to good the way He can!!!!

Wisdom isn’t trendy. It’s timeless. And it’ll save your life.In a world loud with foolishness, Proverbs 2 reminds us: wisdom doesn’t just show up — you have to seek it. You can’t treat God’s Word like a side dish and expect it to change your life. If you want direction, protection, and peace, wisdom has to become your pursuit.KEY TAKEAWAYS:— If you treat His Word casually, you’ll treat others carelessly.You’ll start calling dysfunction “normal” and rebellion “freedom.” What you tolerate will eventually dominate.— Wisdom requires quiet.Tune out the noise. Stop letting the sound of truth become foreign. Wisdom won’t fight to be heard — but it will change everything if you’ll listen.— Everybody serves something.Even the ones shouting “No kings” still follow a voice. But only one King leads to life — Jesus.— God gives wisdom — not culture.And when you seek it like treasure, He doesn’t just teach you — He shields you. He covers those who walk with integrity.— Temptation isn’t to delight you — it’s designed to destroy you.The enemy wants you to laugh at what you should be weeping over. But wisdom guards you from crooked paths and twisted words.— Stay faithful. Stay grounded. Stay on the path.Because off the path? There’s deception, destruction, and distraction.But on the path? There’s clarity, protection, and peace.——#Proverbs2 #WalkInWisdom #FathersDay #JesusOverEverything #KingdomOverCulture #NexusChurch #StayOnThePath #ChooseWisdom
You’re not making a mistake.You’re making a choice. And every choice you make is either moving you closer to wisdom — or pushing you closer to destruction.Proverbs 1 shows us: Wisdom isn’t running from your mess. She’s running toward it. But she’s not offering excuses. She’s offering a better way.How long will you ignore the voice of wisdom? How long will you blame your past and call it your personality? How long will you call dysfunction your normal?Forgiveness doesn’t make you wise. And God doesn’t have to destroy you. Your own plans will do that just fine. If you’re a father who always gives permission but never correction—you’re not a father… you’re a freak. God is a Father who corrects. Because correction is love.Compromise is a shortcut to collapse.Sin will always send an invitation. But when it calls—don’t flirt. Flee.Because obedience will always outrun anxiety. But there’s hope. 🙌 Proverbs 1:33 closes with a promise:“Whoever listens to Me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”So if you're still hearing the voice of wisdom—you still have a chance.Walk with God.Let wisdom get your attention.And never forget: If you miss Jesus, you miss everything.
Jesus. For countless years, it’s been debated who Jesus was, what was His character? Many have asked the question about what’s Jesus’ place is in the past, the present, and the future. Thankfully, Jesus didn’t leave the truth of His existence and His nature shrouded in mystery. Jesus was, Jesus is, and Jesus is to come. He is the Alpha, and He is the Omega. He was before time, He created time, and He stepped in to time not to help us, but to recreate us. Jesus is the Ancient of Days, He is the Living Word. None have come before Him and none will come after Him. He is the light, the truth, the way and He loves us with an intensity that can never be fathomed. Without Jesus, our lives are purposeless and void of true hope and joy. If you don’t know Jesus, let us introduce you to Him. He lived to die, if only just for you. Cry out His name, He has always answered. Without Jesus, death is the only certainty. But with Him, eternity is a future we can look to with peace and joy!!!!! We thank you Jesus, for your great love!!!!
