Surge Church
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. By faith, Mary received the word from the Lord and submitted herself to the call of God. The scripture says she's magnified the Lord. Doing God's will on the journey of life comes with great joy and with difficulty. It is important to magnify the Lord. Some people have a small God and a big problem, while others have a big God and small problems. The difference is in who and what we magnify.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Knowing who we are in Christ is pivotal to walking in our true identity as a believer. When we are born again, we become a part of the New Creation race of people who live out Galatians 2:20 - "It's no longer I who live but Christ living His life in me”
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Understanding our true identity in Christ requires that we understand the Law of Identification. The Law of Identification reveals what God did in Christ for us, from the time He went to the cross until He sat down at the right hand of the Father. Christ became one with us in sin, that we might become one with Him in righteousness. He became as we were that we might be as He is now. Jesus became one with us in death that we might become one with Him in life.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We’re living in a time when society is plagued by an identity crisis. This is driven by rapid technological change, social media comparison, weakening communal ties, the shifting of traditional roles and sexual confusion leaving many feeling anxious, confused and questioning their purpose. Now more than ever it is vital that people understand that their true identity is found in Christ.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Jesus predicted 6-times that He would die and be raised from the dead on the third day. The three days that encapsulate Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection are the most important three days in history. They were three days that changed the world for eternity.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. On Palm Sunday, Jesus did not just make an entrance. He made a declaration. Every element of this was a message to those who had eyes to see. Unfortunately, so many in the crowd did not have eyes to see and missed the moment. What a reminder to us that even we can miss key God moments because we're too busy or blind to see them. Proximity to Jesus is not the same thing as knowing Him.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We are living in a moment no generation has ever experienced before. We wake up, and before our feet hit the floor—we check our phones. We go to bed, and the last thing we see is a glowing screen. We are constantly connected… yet often deeply distracted. Constantly informed… yet spiritually drained. Constantly scrolling… yet rarely still. This is the challenge of discipleship in the digital age.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The US Surgeon General has officially declared "loneliness" as a public health emergency. Technology has connected us more than ever before and disconnected us into lives of isolation. We were never meant to do life alone. There is a basic human need for community. God designed us to need His supernatural presence and the natural presence of others.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We live in an age of increasing disembodiment. We can order groceries without leaving the house, attend church through a screen and fall in love through an app. We are more connected than at any point in human history, and yet more disconnected leaving people to feel more hollow, more distracted, more breathless than ever before. This is why it is vital to pause from the distractions of the digital age to find strength and purpose in the presence of God.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Story of Queen Esther being used by God to saver her people from genocide is celebrated in the Jewish Festival of Purim. Esther is the only book of the Bible in which the name "God" is not mentioned. This is a great reminder that even when we cannot see or sense God, He is always at work in the background shaping circumstances and events for our victory.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We must trust God and His work in our lives. He is always working things out for our good. It is encouraging to know that God works miracles for us even the ones that do not make sense.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Spirit and Truth are never in conflict. The ministry of the Spirit and the Truth of God’s Word combine to create a powerful force in the lives of God’s people when heeded. As the Spirit leads us in accordance to God's word, we must pay careful attention not to heed the witness of our own desires or the witness of others. It is the witness of the Spirit that leads us into truth.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus mentioned 4 kinds of soils that receive the seed of God's word. Jesus said only the good ground produced a harvest of some 30, 60 and 100 fold. This is a great parallel to the game of life. We must examine ourselves to discover what kind of receiver we are going to be. Are we the intercepted, the butter-finger, the fumbler or the dependable receiver who produces fruit?
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Book of Acts ends with Paul's first detainment in Rome. Luke provides no sequel to Acts, but we know from Church history and scriptural references that Paul was acquitted by Emperor Nero. This allowed Paul to embark on his 4th Missionary Journey to Spain. We can learn from Paul's life important elements to growth and expansion. Even while in confinement under house arrest, Paul remained productive, he had a plan of action for the future and he lived dedicated to his mission to the very end.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Apostle Paul's ministry in Ephesus provides important insights on growth and expansion. As his ministry in the region grew in size and impact, he protected the momentum with strategic shifts and by moving with urgency. As we hunger for growth, we must be willing to make shifts along the way and operate with urgency in order to expand.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Expansion requires action and action requires growth. As long as we remain settled in our traditions, routines and comfort zones we will never move beyond our circumstances. We must be willing to grow beyond ourselves, grow beyond our comfort levels and grow beyond in prayer in order for God's ability to empower us for supernatural results.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In the beginning of the Old Testament, God commanded the first man Adam to multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. In the beginning of the New Testament, Jesus told the first believers to spread the gospel to all of the world. God is a God of increase and expansion and that mandate has fallen to us today. We must move beyond the present to continue to grow and expand.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The baby Jesus lying in a manger in our traditional nativity sets should be a reminder to us all that Jesus is the gift. As the Angels declared on the night of His birth - "Peace on earth, goodwill toward all men." Jesus is the one gift we're meant to give away.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. What makes Mary & Jospeh's story so powerful is the fact that in the face of the unknown, the costly, and the risky they found the courage to say, "Yes, Lord." Their testimony reminds us today that when we say "Yes" to God's plans it empowers ordinary people to do extraordinary things!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Wisemen's long journey from the East to find the King of the Jews and worship Him with gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh demonstrated their hearts. This cuts through to us today in our modern world. We must give our Time, our Love, our Resources, our Patience and our Talents, but most of all we must give Him our hearts. It's the one gift God treasures the most.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Jesus is the Good Shepherd and He came to gather His flock. He doesn’t just welcome the well-behaved sheep, but He also seeks out the messy ones, the loud ones and the ones who wander off. Jesus knows His sheep. This means we are not a face in the crowd, He knows us by name. He knows where we tend to wander and seeks us out to lift us up and carry us close to His heart back to where we belong.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Gratitude is a lifestyle that. must be developed and continually fostered in our lives. We are commanded in scripture to "give thanks in all things." The scripture provides us with the Guide To Gratitude to help us turn Thanksgiving into ThanksLiving.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In the busyness of life and the holiday season, we often fail to stop and make room for wonder. The Nativity reminds us that Jesus doesn't need a spotlight. He only needed a manger. So often we look for God to move in dramatic ways. He is a God who still thunders and works miracles. He is also the God who speaks in the still small voice. We must remember to take time to pause in His presence to hear His voice of love and direction.
The call to follow Jesus distinguishes and marks an individual for discipleship. When the Master calls the disciple follows, just as Peter did when he laid down his nets and Matthew closed his tax office to follow Jesus. The Lord is calling us with those two powerful words - Follow Me.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Hebrews 11:1 begins with these three words - "Now faith is." Faith does not live in someday, it lives in today. Faith is the hand in the Spirit that reaches out and lays hold of what God has given us. This means that Faith is not waiting for the heavens to open up. It receives now what has been made available to us. Faith is not a future event - Faith Is Now!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Guest speaker Jim Alexander ministers the message - "God Can Use You." God desires to use us as His vessels of love and power to touch the lives of others.
Like the Prophet Elijah who stood in the gap interceding on behalf of the nation for God to send rain to end the drought, we too are called to the ministry of intercession. Interceding on behalf of others with a heart of compassion can be the difference in them experiencing breakthrough. God is still looking for intercessors to stand in the gap.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Intercession is a specific type of prayer in which a person intervenes in prayer on behalf of another. The need for intercession is as vital today as it was in the days of the Bible. Its purpose is to stand in the gap in order link the mercy of God to the needs of others. God is still looking for intercessors to stand in the gap to maintain the hedge of protection around people, families, churches, and nations.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In Revelation 2, Jesus rebuked the Church of Ephesus by calling them the "Loveless Church." He said - "you have left your first love." Although Jesus commended them for their good works, He called them to repentance for doing works out of Christian habit and duty with no love or zeal. How easy it is for the Christian life to become habitual and dutiful, while lacking a love and fervor for God. Let us return to our first love!
As Kingdom People, we have the responsibility to be good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us in order to resource the Kingdom of God in the earth. Kingdom People who know their Kingdom Purpose will be diligent in their work, honor God with their resources, sow into kingdom ministry, bless others and be marked by the blessing and flavor of God.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. As Kingdom People, we have the responsibility to be good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us in order to resource the Kingdom of God in the earth. Kingdom People who know their Kingdom Purpose will be diligent in their work, honor God with their resources, sow into kingdom ministry, bless others and be marked by the blessing and flavor of God.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Jesus said if you cannot be trusted with unrighteousness mammon, then who will commit to you the true riches of the Kingdom. Money is a divine testing ground. If we are not faithful with money, then we will not be faithful with the things of God. This is why Christians must change their paradigm about God and money. God desires for us to prosper. He knows that people with a Kingdom Heart will use prosperity for His Kingdom Purposes!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Throughout the Bible we see the principle of First Things. The fact is the first releases the rest. Tithing is an important covenant act, because it resets Lordship in our lives. When we honor God with the first of our increase, we release His lordship over our finances and prevent the influence of the Spirit of Mammon. The enemy knows what happens when we put God first. Giving God our first 10% is something we cannot afford not to do.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Bible speaks on the topic of Money more than the topics of Salvation, Faith, Heaven or Hell. The reason is because nothing competes against God for the place of Lordship in our lives like money. Jesus said we cannot serve God and Mammon. Mammon is the world's system and the spirit behind the system that controls both money and people. Honoring God with our money resets Lordship in our lives and allows God to reign over our finances with abundance.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We are called to be salt and light to the world. Having resources and how we manage and use those resources has so much to do with being the salt and light God desires us to be. This requires that we move beyond the Gospel of Just Enough and realize we serve a God of More Than Enough. Righteous Living is not Small Living, it is Surrendered Living for God's purposes.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The issue of money must be brought under a Kingdom Mindset. Money is not good or bad. Money is simply a tool with which God blesses us. It has righteous or corrupted power attached to it based on who possess it. This is why God’s people must prosper in order to use money as a powerful tool of righteousness to advance God’s Kingdom in the earth.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. There is no treasure on earth that captivates the heart of man more than money. Jesus said "where your treasure is there your heart will also be." This is why the Bible speaks more about Money than the topics of Faith, Heaven or Hell. God knows we need money in this world's system and that is why it is critically important to have a Kingdom Mindset when it comes to money.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast.

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. To flow with the Holy Spirit requires that we be open to the unfamiliar not the unbiblical. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth who leads and guides us into truth. We cannot judge the manifestations of the Spirit as unbiblical simply because they are unfamiliar to us. The Holy Spirit will always lead us to truth, therefore we can trust the flow of His presence and power.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Holy Spirit baptizes believers into the Body of Christ and Jesus baptizes them in the power of the Holy Spirit for ministry. What Salvation is to the sinner is what the Baptism in the Spirit is to the saint. One opens the door to the Kingdom and the other anoints us for the work of the ministry in the Holy Spirit's gifting and power.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Baptism and Gifts of the Holy Spirit have not ceased. Jesus left us the Great Commission to go into all the world and make disciples to the end of the age. The power and gifts of the Holy Spirit were given to empower us to fulfill the Great Commission. If the Great Commission has not ceased, then the Gifts of the Spirit to fulfill the Great Commission have not ceased. The key is to not allow our hunger and desire for the Spirit to cease.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Jesus has empowered the Church with the person and power of the Holy Spirit. It is through the Baptism in the Holy Spirit that believers can operate in the Gifts of the Spirit to build and edify the Church.
The Holy Spirit is not a ghost as in Halloween. He is not a mysterious gas that fills people. He is not a force like in Star Wars. The Holy Spirit is a real person. He is the Third and Co-Equal member of the Godhead. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be our supernatural helper and to manifest the power of God in the earth. He is the Promise to the Believer and the Church!

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. After These Things was a phrase that had significance in the life of Abraham.

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. A mother's faith has a profound impact on her family and children. In our Mother's Day service, Pam Burson brought a powerful message on how Hannah's faith was demonstrated through her prayer, holding on to God's promise and her praise. Her faith turned her barrenness into fruitfulness.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Salvation is a free gift paid for by Jesus, but the life of discipleship comes at the cost of commitment paid for by us. Jesus revealed the Law of Discipleship - "If any man come after me, let him deny himself." In an age of waning commitment, it is important to rekindle our fervor for God and pay the cost of discipleship.
During our Annual Surge Legacy Sunday, Pastor Brad Sullivan emphasized Jesus' parable of the wise and foolish builders. The wise man built his house on the rock and the foolish man built his house on the sand. When the storm came the house built on the sand was destroyed, but the house built on the rock was still standing. The storms of life come, but it is the lives and homes built on the rock of God's word who endure.

The scripture says that Jesus is the Author and the Finisher of your Faith. Your story originated with the Author and the Finisher who wrote it before the foundation of the world and had already written the perfect conclusion before you were born. Do not allow the frustration of your small beginning cause you to edit the story. Be faithful to follow the storyline so the Author can lead you to the BIG finish!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Jesus is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. This means He is working in our Alpha moments to get us to our Omega. If we despise our Alpha, then we undermine our Omega. We can take comfort in knowing that He is the Beginning and the End. We can trust God in our Small Beginning as He builds us for our BIG Ending.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. God instructed us in scripture to not despise the day of small beginnings. God loves small beginnings for all of the reasons we have a tendency to despise them. Small beginnings come with struggle, difficulties, limitations and obstacles that seem insurmountable. However, God understands that small beginnings develop the faith, the determination and the abilities to overcome and in turn prepare us for bigger things in our future.

We serve a God of miracles and in His goodness He provides us with unexpected and even what seems to be unnecessary miracles. Be encouraged and start expecting your miracle from God.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Discipleship is a word that is often used, but most often misunderstood. The word “Disciple” means “a learner.” It is one who is the student of a discipline or teaching. It also means to be “an adherent.” A disciple is doing more than learning a teaching, he is adhering to the teaching he is learning by actively living it out. It is in the commitment to live it out that a man pays the cost of true discipleship.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. On Super Bowl Sunday, it is important to remember that we are a part of the team that is known as the Body of Christ. We owe it to God to work well together to achieve His command to expand the borders and influence of His kingdom in the earth.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. One of the most significant commitments we can make is to the Next Generation. Our children are our legacy. Throughout scripture, God established Himself as a generational God. From the beginning He was known as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God desires to be the God of our generations. Our commitment to training and discipling the next generation is the key to ensuring this heritage.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The first command God gave man was to be fruitful and to increase. We have a mandate from God to increase. This requires that we breakthrough the status quo into a growth mindset. God expects us to maximize what He has entrusted to us and we should expect the same from ourselves.
In the message W.I.N., Brandon Sanders emphasizes that Winning is a result of commitment to the team and to the mission. Let's renew our commitment to God and to the mission He has called us to in order to experience victory together
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. WE WILL are statements of affirmation we are committing to as a Church. WE WILL Commit to Prayer. Prayer is the cornerstone to a life of a disciple because prayer shapes the heart of man to the heart of God. Prayer is a powerful force that must be fostered and not forgotten!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The genealogy of Jesus is filled with people who had checkered pasts.

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Birth of the Messiah was declared by the Prophets of Old centuries before it came to pass. What seemed like years of silence from God was simply Him working in the background to create the greatest plot twist in history. This reminds us that God’s silence stretches our faith to wait for His perfect plan to be accomplished in His perfect timing.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Making the proper attitude adjustments can be the thing that moves us to the next level.

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Pastor Jim Willoughby in his message, “Living The God Style Of Life,” encourages believers to live in the fullness of the purpose to which they were created. God has empowered us with His life and Spirit. Therefore, we should not allow anyone who didn’t create us to put limitations on our lives.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Most Christians know the Lord to be a God of Peace, a God of Love and a God of Mercy and Grace. Yet, we must also know that our God is a Man of War. He is fierce in battle and awesome in power. When we find ourselves surrounded and our enemy seems to have an advantage over us, we must not be afraid or fall into despair. We must rise up in faith knowing that our God will fight for us and will bring about our victory.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Faith is an overcoming force in the life of a believer. If we are going to walk by faith, then we must get comfortable with believing things that do not seem possible in the natural. Faith in God is the power that manifests God’s will on earth even when the natural circumstances are contrary to it.
Dreams can be a source of hope for the future, but they can also be a source of discouragement when they seem delayed. The good news is there is no delay with God. Delay is merely man's perception of God's timing. If we remain faithful to our calling and walk in obedience, then we will be on God's time schedule. This will cause us to discover that God's Timing Is Perfect!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. There is nothing more exhilarating than the birth of a dream and nothing more discouraging than the delay of a dream. In seasons of delay, we must remember that A Dream Delayed Is Not A Dream Denied. What we see as delay is the process of God's plan for our lives. This is why we must remain Faithful, Fruitful and Fervent where God plants us
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We serve a God of miracles. Miracles are proof of 2-things:

Momentum is generated by two important elements: 1) Consistency and 2) Motivation. These 2-elements are the secrets to forward movement!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Goals will never be accomplished without the momentum of forward movement.

Creating movement is the key to building momentum for future success in any endeavor.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Law of Inertia states - "An object at rest tends to stay at rest; an object in motion tends to stay in motion."

Jesus later explained to the disciples that the seed represented the Word of God and the 4 kinds of soil represented people's hearts when the Word is sown into their lives. The theme of this message is that the Gospel of the Kingdom will be met with varying success, which is determined by the condition of the human heart that receives it. We must ensure that our hearts are the "good ground" that is open and receptive to God's word in order to produce the fruit of the Kingdom.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Partnership is defined as “two or more people joined together in a common interest.” The Church is the extension of Jesus’ ministry in the earth. Believers are called by God to join together in the common interest of moving the Church forward.

True discipleship is when believers understand they have become partakers of the things of God and a partners in advancing the things of God.

May we, as those who bear the name “Christian,” follow his example. In the good times. In the difficult times. And at all times in between.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. There are seasons of life in which we find ourselves adrift in the doldrums of life with no direction or momentum. The wind of God's Spirit can shift you into a new season of favor that puts you on target toward your God-given destiny.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. If you are in need of God shifting things in your favor, then don’t miss the message “It’s Time To Shift.” God wants to break you free from your past in order to set you on course for your future. Be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit and the shifts He brings. Small acts of obedience lead to supernatural acts of God in your life.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Faith is the hallmark of the Christian life. Faith is what separates us from the world. Our faith in God is not based on what we see or do not see in the natural, but by what God’s word says. This is why we are called to walk by faith and not by sight. In the message, “Foundations Of Faith,” Pastor Brad shares 4-Foundations that will anchor your faith and give it strength to endure.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Faith is the currency of the spirit realm. Faith receives in the natural what God has made available to us in the Spirit.

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast.

In Part 4 of the message "The Spirit of Excellence," Pastor Brad emphasizes how People of Excellence do not compare themselves to others, but rather compete with themselves in order to be the best they can be. Excellence isn't defined by the final score, but by what you do with what God gives you!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Spirit of Excellence distinguishes you from others. The Bible tells us that God preserved Joshua and Caleb so that they would live to possess the Land of Promise because they were men with a "Different Spirit.” Excellence gives you the different spirit that keeps and promotes you. Be blessed as Pastor Brad are more Power Principles of Excellence in Part 3 of this message series.

In Part 2 of this series, Pastor Brad shares additional Power Principles of Excellence that will elevate you in life and in your work.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Excellence is not a gift. No one is born with excellence. It is something that must be developed.

In this message series, you will learn Power Principles of Excellence that will elevate your life.

Jesus was fully human and fully God. As a human, He possessed characteristics and attributes of His mother Mary. Jesus demonstrated the same love and compassion for us as His mother did for Him.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In Part 2 of the message - “What Child Is This?” - Pastor Brad Sullivan points out the similarity the Christ Child had with the Wise Men. Like the Wise Men from the East, Jesus journeyed from heaven to earth, He came to seek and to save the lost as they sought after Him, and He demonstrated generosity as the Wise Men by giving His life as a ransom for us.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The title of the famous Christmas Carol - “What Child Is This?” - is an important question that everyone must answer for themselves. This question certainly had to be in the hearts and on the minds of the shepherds the evening they received an angelic visitation and seeing the Christ child lying in a manger. This child would change the world forever.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We are instructed in scripture to go into the highways and hedges to compel people to come into the Master's House. God is a sending God.

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In Part 3 of the message series “FAMILY,” Pastors Brad & Mary Sullivan share the biblical blueprint for building strong marriages and God’s call for women to be helpmates to their husbands.

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In Part 2 of the message series “FAMILY,” Pastors Brad & Mary Sullivan share God’s pattern for the family and His design for men to be the head of their families. God made the first man Adam single. He had to learn how to be a Man, then a Husband and then a Father. This qualified him to be the head of his house. This is the biblical pattern the American Family must follow to prevent the further erosion of society and to avert the crisis of fatherlessness.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. From the very beginning, God has always had a family focus. His Word has established a pattern for the family that empowers our relationships, marriages and children’s lives.

In this message, Pastors Brad & Mary Sullivan share God’s blueprint for the family.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In the message “Revival in the Church,” Pastor Brad Sullivan explains the difference between Revivals and Awakenings. Revivals in the Church are what often spark Awakenings in the culture. America needs an awakening and the American Church needs Revival.
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Bible predicts the rise of a NEW WORLD ORDER in the End Times. The Apostle Paul told us the “Mystery of Lawlessness” is already at work. This work has been in the shadows preparing for the rise of a One World System through which the Anti-Christ will control the world. The rise of Globalism and the control of the world’s wealth concentrating in the hands of fewer ruling elites are signs that this new world order is setting the stage for the last kingdom - the kingdom of the Anti-Christ. Christians must see the world through the prophetic lens of the Word of God!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The NEW WORLD ORDER - Conspiracy or Reality? What does the Bible say? When you mention the term “New World Order,” it may sound like a conspiracy theory. However, the Bible has much to say on the matter. Scripture prophetically predicts that a one world system will arise in the End Times that will lead to the emergence of the Anti-Christ who will assume global control. Bible Prophecy gives us an advantage to know what is coming in advance.

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Our nation was birthed because the founders were willing to take a stand to defend their freedoms. We fought a civil war to save the nation and to ensure freedoms for all people. President Abraham Lincoln called it a "New Birth of Freedom." Today, a spirit has risen in our land against the Church and biblical values for which we must take a stand and contend for the faith to ensure a New Birth of Freedom!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. The fact is words matter and they create a ripple effect in our lives. When we speak words of life and faith, then the word of God ripples into every area of life. However, when we speak words of fear and doubt they too create a ripple effect of defeat. Be blessed by Mary Sullivan's message “THE RIPPLE EFFECT”as you speak God's word!
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In his Father’s Day message, Pastor Brad stressed the need for Strong Men to rise to fill the leadership gap in society, in families and in the Church.

The Book of Acts records the spiritual experience of early Christians. They all shared a common faith and common spiritual experiences that were understood and expected.

They all shared a common faith and common spiritual experiences that were understood and expected.

The pattern God established with the early Church is His intention for the Church in every generation. The Book of Acts Church relied on the person and power of the Holy Spirit and the contemporary Church today must do the same.
