Life In the Spirit

A Clear & Present Danger Part Five: The Danger of Pride

In this powerful message, Pastor Jay sounds the alarm on one of the most deceptive spiritual dangers, pride and self-reliance. Pride doesn’t always appear as arrogance; it often begins quietly, when dependence on God weakens and self-confidence replaces surrender. Yet there is hope, pride ends when we humble ourselves before the Lord. Revival begins not when we rise up, but when we bow down in surrender, declaring, “God, I need You.”

A Clear & Present Danger Part Four: The danger of offense

In this timely and convicting message, Pastor Jay exposes one of the enemy’s most effective strategies against the church, the danger of division and offense. Using Scripture and practical insight, he reveals how offense is the seed from which division grows, how pride deepens wounds by preventing forgiveness, and how disunity weakens the church’s witness to a watching world. Yet, through humility, forgiveness, and Christlike love, the church can silence the enemy, heal relationships, and shine brightly again as one body under Christ.

A Clear & Present Danger Part Three: Spiritual Lukewarmness

In this message, Pastor Jay sounds the alarm on one of the greatest spiritual threats facing the modern church, the danger of lukewarmness. Drawing from Jesus’ words to the church of Laodicea in Revelation, Pastor Jay exposes how comfort can quietly replace commitment, how passion fades into routine, and how purpose is lost when believers grow spiritually apathetic. Discover how to rekindle your spiritual fire, return to your first love, and let the Holy Spirit ignite a renewed passion for God’s presence and purpose in your life.

A Clear & Present Danger: The Danger of Moral Compromise

In part two of A Clear and Present Danger, Pastor Jay Tyler sounds the alarm on the danger of moral compromise, the slow erosion of conviction that leads to spiritual decay. Drawing from Daniel’s faith in Babylon and Jesus’ warning to the church at Pergamos, Pastor Jay exposes how compromise begins when conviction weakens, grows when culture becomes our standard, and spreads when sin is tolerated instead of confronted. Yet there is hope, compromise ends when believers choose courage over comfort. This message is a powerful call to wake up, stand firm, and live with bold conviction in a compromising world.

Clear & Present Danger: The Danger of Deception

In this powerful opening message of the series A Clear and Present Danger, Pastor Jay Tyler sounds the spiritual alarm about one of the greatest threats facing believers today, deception. From the Garden of Eden to our modern culture, Satan’s oldest strategy has always been to twist God’s truth with subtle lies. Pastor Jay exposes how deception often looks like truth, spreads through spiritual neglect, and can only be resisted through vigilance in God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. This message calls every believer to wake up, stay grounded, and stand firm in the truth that sets us free.

We Walking By Faith Part Four

In this message, Pastor Jay Tyler concludes the Walking by Faith series by reminding us that faith isn’t a one time decision, it’s a daily lifestyle. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:7, “For we walk by faith, not by sight,” he teaches that true faith trusts God beyond what we can see, obeys Him day by day, endures through life’s trials, and keeps its eyes fixed on eternity. Faith isn’t about ignoring reality, it’s about believing God’s promises even when circumstances say otherwise. This message calls us to live every moment by faith, not fear; by promise, not sight.

Walking By Faith Part Three: Faith That Moves Mountains

In this message from our Walking by Faith series, Pastor Jay explores what it truly means to have “faith that moves mountains.” Drawing from Matthew 17 and Mark 11, we see that Jesus wasn’t calling us to have a giant, flawless faith, but a genuine, mustard-seed kind of faith, small yet powerful when placed in a great God. Pastor Jay reminds us that real faith doesn’t ignore our problems; it confronts them, looks to God instead of the obstacle, speaks His Word with confidence, and acts boldly in prayer. No matter how impossible the situation appears, the size of your mountain doesn’t matter, what matters is the size of your God.

Walking By Faith Part Two: Faith in the Fire

In this episode, we’re talking about Faith in the Fire. Walking by faith isn’t just about believing when life feels easy, it’s about trusting God when the heat is turned up. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, our faith will be tested, but those fiery moments don’t come to destroy us; they come to refine us. Real faith says, “I won’t bow, even if it costs me.” It chooses God over compromise, trusts Him with the outcome, and finds His presence right in the middle of the flames. And here’s the good news God may not always keep you out of the fire, but He will always meet you in it. When your faith stands firm, even in the fire, your life becomes a testimony that brings glory to God.

Walking by Faith Part One: What Faith Is

In this first part of the Walking by Faith series, we explore what true biblical faith really is. The Bible says it’s impossible, not just difficult, to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6). But faith is more than just belief. Belief acknowledges truth, but faith acts on it. Abraham didn’t just believe God’s promises; he left home and followed. The heroes of Hebrews 11 weren’t remembered for what they believed, but for what they did by faith. Many today confuse belief with saving faith, but Scripture is clear: we are saved by grace through faith, a faith marked by repentance, surrender, obedience, and transformation. The question is not simply, “Do you believe in Jesus?” The real question is: “Have you placed your faith in Him, turning from sin, surrendering to His Lordship, and living daily by faith?”

Come and See Go and Tell Part Four: Light of the World

In part four of our Come and See, Go and Tell series, we explore what it means to be the light of the world. Jesus has not only saved us but also sent us. Evangelism isn’t optional, it’s the mission of every believer. We are not stuck where we are; we are sent to shine in our families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities. Even small acts, like a prayer, a kind word, or an invitation can have eternal impact. Your mission field begins at the end of your driveway. The question isn’t if you’re sent, but how you’ll respond. Today is the day to shine for Jesus and carry His light into a dark world.
