Cape First Church
At Cape First Church our dream is for every person to receive a clear, concise, accurate and relevant presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Today, we're discussing what a counterfeit anointing is, and how Satan can use this to disrupt, sabotage, rob, and break up what God has for you.
Why does He anoint us, and what are we supposed to do with it? Today, we're learning about God's supernatural empowerment to accomplish what we could never do on our own.
We're going over what exactly is an anointing.
If Jesus is anointed, you can be anointed too!
Have you ever asked yourself if your life is making a difference?
We can never underestimate the power of serving.
Who's the hero? While looking at the story of feeding the 5000, there are multiple heroes in the story - and some that are unlikely! Who's the hero? And can you be one today if you allow Jesus to work through you?
If you take the supernatural out of the Bible, there really isn’t a Bible left. And that is why this is a place of miracles - it's Biblical!
What if, in those moments of confusion, fear, or uncertainty, you didn’t hit the panic button? What if you hit the praise button instead?
And He said to them, “It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer…” - let each of our temples become a house of prayer!
When we are reclining, we are relaxing. We are not engaged in much of anything that would require effort on our part.
One of the biggest battles we face today isn’t on a battlefield or at the scene of a disaster. It’s the battle against spiritual apathy. We struggle to find the courage to step into action when everything around us seems to be in ruins.
Have you ever been “stuck” in a situation, and you felt like there was no way out? Our God doesn’t believe in “stuck” situations. Our Heavenly Father specialized in enabling us to be and live free from the things in life that would cause us to be stuck.
Grudges are common as we're all human. But we don't get to hold onto them! Let's look biblically how we can move forward and forgive as God forgave us.
Our goals and expectations can be detrimental to our life at times. What are our expectations on Jesus? Are they realistic or are they clouding our view?
Transitions are inevitable. Let's walk through the lessons that we can learn from transitions and what they mean for our faith.
The hustle and bustle of this time of year can distract us from what truly matters. We're diving into how to keep our heart focused on Jesus, not just during the holidays, but every time of year.
Many things try to distract and steal our joy this time of year - grief can be one of those things. Let's discuss how we can healthfully walk through our grief.
Stand your ground, hold the line, and take a stand against the enemy. Ephesians 6 gives us a clear outline of how we can do that. Listen in!
The second posture of a mature believer is to walk. We must sit, and then we walk worthy before men. Tune into to breakdown what walking worthy means.
Ephesians gives us three postures of a mature Christian. We're going to look into the first posture - sitting.
There is scriptural backing that proves Jesus would vote. He would care who is making policies, leading the country, and guiding the direction of America.
Is living without fear and anxiety possible? What does the Bible say about that? Is Jesus enough? Let's dive into this conversation!
The world looks more impure by the minute - so how can we live pure? God lays it out in the Bible plainly on how to position our hearts. Let's dive in.
A commonly asked question is, where do we go when we die? What religion is right? Is there a heaven and a hell? We discuss all of that this week in our series "Asking For A Friend"!
If God is Good, Why Is There Suffering? That's a hard question - let's dive into the kinds of suffering and where we can see Biblical examples of that and how God intervenes.
Pastor Mike Santiago from Focus Church blessed us with an amazing message about how to be led by the spirit.
We're asking for a friend.. is the Bible reliable? Does it hold up even today? There's tons of evidence that says that it does! Listen in to see how!
God specializes in using those that are unknown. Throughout the Bible, we see unknown people make His great name known further. Let's challenge ourselves to magnify God more than ourselves.
Each of us has power inside of us - the power of PRAYER!
James chapter 5 talks about who should pray, when we should pray (ALWAYS), and the most important prayer we can pray!
James chapter 4 starts to dive into pride and patience. Those two things seem impossible to tackle in some situations. Pastor Gary discusses how we can defeat pride and develop patience.
This week we finished off James, Chapter 3, and talked through the difference between Heavenly wisdom and earthly wisdom. James speaks boldly on asking for wisdom and how wisdom should look according to the Father. Let's dive in together.
Let's talk taming the tongue - it's one of the hardest principles, but it is absolutely biblical! Tune in and let's walk through it together.
There's fake faith and REAL faith. James dives into what real faith for Christians look like. Let's dissect what the differences are between real and fake faith.
Favoritism is not a characteristic of God! James clearly outlines this in chapter 2. But what does that exactly mean? Let's find out together.
The Word is such an important part of our relationship with Jesus! The Word does miraculous things - listen in for it's importance in your life.
The book of James is often seen as the Proverbs of the New Testament. James, the half brother of Jesus, wrote an incredible book of "how to's" that help guide us through life. This week, let's learn how to profit from our life problems.
Are you feeling lonely? God is always there as He promises in the book of Ezekial. He is never far. If you ask to feel His presence, He will answer. He is ALWAYS there.
The Lord is our righteousness. We dove into the book of Jeremiah and then looked back to the Garden of Eden to get a true definition of righteousness, and what this means for us today.
While Psalm 23 is a common passage, there's always new revelation. God is Jehovah Rohi - our Shepherd. He's faithful to always guide us, protect us, teach us, and give us peace.
God is our peace! His name is Jehovah Shalom. He is the author and the finisher and He knows the trajectory of our lives. He holds all things and we can rest knowing He is faithful and working diligently. You can be a Christian and live in worry, or you can be a son and daughter and live in peace!
God is our banner - Jehovah Nissi. Like an Olympic Medalist, we can wrap ourselves in His name. He is who we contend for, He is the almighty God that wins the battle, He is our Victory.
Jehovah Rophe focuses on God's role as the source of spiritual and emotional healing. It speaks to His ability to mend broken hearts, restore peace, and provide spiritual comfort. Tune in and let's see how God heals.
Let's talk about Jehovah Jireh - it's more than just Him providing, He supplies our need! We dove into the story of Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac, but then God showed up in a mighty way. Tune in and let's see how God provides.
Have you been in the room with a name dropper? It can be annoying... BUT! We serve a God with a big name and lots of names. He is faithful and we need to know the power in the name we use.
To prepare with eternity in mind, we must love completely - both our friends and enemies. Let's learn to love completely together.
If you living the dash or are you dashing to live? Everyone will have a dash between the date they are born and the date that they pass. What are you doing in the in between? Listen in and see how to live your dash effectively.
There are two words at the Resurrection that we can all relate to - "and Peter". He was one of the disciples, yet he had made a mistake in his final moments with Jesus. But that didn't mark his future. Do you know where your life is headed? Do you relate to Peter and want a fresh start?
The last pillar here at Discover Life Church is commission. We were made to reach one more! Let us go into every person's world and preach the Gospel to them in a clear and concise way!
We all have to cultivate a servant's heart! That is how more people come to know Jesus and discover life through Him! There's tons of examples in scripture of servant's so let's take a look together.
Life is done better with others! There are no successful Christian Islands. We need each other! Let's dive in to how community moves us and changes our thinking.
Discover Life Church stands on four pillars: Christ, Community, Cultivate, Commission.
Step one for everyone should be finding Christ!
If we want to make it hard for people to go to hell, we have to make it easy for them to go to church. Christ is the most valuable pillar!
What are you willing to do to reach one more for Jesus? Let's dive into Mark 2 and talk about the willingness of some friends and how they changed a man's life due to their faithfulness and dedication to see him transformed.
We talked about tithing the 10%, but how do we manage the 90%? Let's talk about stewardship and the importance of managing your money well!

Extravagant Devotion captures the heart of God. Mary is a beautiful example of what all out devotion looks like. Listen in and let's dissect what extravagant devotion looks like and causes in our lives and other's.
Joshua prayed an extravagant prayer and God responded in an extravagant way. What prayer do YOU need to pray that God is ready to respond to?
Jesus called us to live an extravagant life. During the month of January, we pray more, fast more, and give more. Tune in and hear the Biblical precedence of fasting and the types of fasts there are. We promise this informative and sets you up to succeed!
These 3 Life Principles can change your emotional, spiritual, and physical health! Learn them, apply them, live them.
Pause. That was one of the pivotal points of the wisemen's journey. We all need to pause and be with Jesus.
Part of the journey is our perception! The wisemen knew the importance of perspective - and we should too!
The Journey with Jesus always requires patience. The wisemen traveled long and far, but Jesus was working in their waiting. And He works through ours too.
The wisemen took a journey many years ago to find Jesus and we can mirror their journey and find Jesus in a deeper way this holiday season.
It's absolutely possible for restoration to happen after conflict! Are you having trouble mending the relationship? Listen in and let's talk through biblical restoration.
Conflict is hard - but forgiveness can be harder. We are called to go and reconcile the situations. Tune in and examine if you have some areas of unforgiveness.
Everyone can deal with in a way that glorifies God! Conflict doesn't have to be scary or something to bury under the rug. Let's learn about conflict in a biblical manner.
To see things as God sees them, we must ask the Holy Spirit to baptize our imagination! Listen to learn how!
In order to have a covenant with God and His people, we must choose to pursue covenant over conflict. Decide today to leave conflict behind.
We can live a fearless life through the blood of Jesus! His blood opens the door for so much for us. Let's believe and know the goodness of what He has done!
Fear tries to creep in to everyone's lives - but there are two types of fear! The fear of the Lord and the spirit of fear. It's important to learn the difference. We all have the ability to live a fearless life!
Jesus exemplified the habit of serving humbly. Leadership is about the towels before it's ever about the titles. Wash the feet of those around you - and don't ever think you don't have a gift to serve somewhere!
We form our habits, and then our habits form us. One habit that we all need to instill in our lives is standing on the word of God.
We are all creatures of habit. We naturally develop habits and patterns that we live by, but Jesus had habits too. One of Jesus' habits was being together with people and if we engrain that into our daily lives, we will be so blessed. Listen in and take note of how you can incorporate community into your daily life.
We all have a race to run - but will you finish strong? There are 4 keys to being able to finish strong found in Romans 14! Let's dive in together and finish our race strong!

You were made to worship! And not just by singing songs on a Sunday morning. Let's talk about the three key aspects of what it means to be a true worshipper!
We all rep brands - and for us as Christians, we rep Jesus Christ all of the time. And with that being said, we have to live life on Mission!
