Destined for Victory

Pastor Paul Sheppard

April 16, 2026

God sees and hears the enemy's plans, but He preempts them with His favor and sovereignty. In the story of Esther, Haman's plan to destroy the Jews is thwarted by the King's intervention, and Mordecai is spared. God's favor is demonstrated through the King's actions, and Esther's bravery plays a crucial role in the outcome. The story teaches that God is sovereign and will work out His plan for those who trust in Him. [... more]

Why Is Grace Amazing? – Part 2 of 2

Salvation is a free gift to those who receive it through repentance and faith, unaffected by the degree of our sin, and takes us all the way to heaven. God's unmerited favor, undeserved, unearned, and never recompensed, is a gift that sets aside all human effort and is a gift of God, but difficult to accept for those in despair or pride. [... more]

God Will Fix It For You

God will fix it for you, says Pastor Paul Shepard, as he shares the story of Esther and the power of unwavering faith in God's plan. When we are kingdom first, fully surrendered to God's will, and line up our lives with His purpose, there is no good thing that He will withhold from us. God's favor can be experienced in our lives, and He will bless us with a second dose of unusual favor when we act in faith and trust Him. [... more]

Finding True Hope Beyond the Prosperity Gospel with John Cortines

Scripture calls us to anchor our hope in Christ, trusting him in both abundance and hardship, rather than measuring God's love by our circumstances. The prosperity gospel distorts biblical truth, making health and wealth a measuring stick for spiritual success. Faithful believers have walked through both abundance and hardship, and scripture shows us that faithful giving is an act of worship and thankfulness to God, not a formula to get results in our life.

Getting Heaven’s Attention (cont'd)

When trouble comes, getting heaven's attention is crucial. Mordecai's decision to follow God risked the lives of many, but his response is a wonderful example for us. We need to learn to pray and fast in faith, not in desperation, and understand that God specializes in taking us from a place of desperation to a place of hope and a future. We must also recognize that God will take care of us through any means He chooses, and when one means dries up, we should look to the Lord for our deliverance. [... more]

When Conceit Meets Conviction (cont'd)

When living by principle, you'll stand out in a crowd, and people may question your choices. Mordecai's story in the Bible shows how he refused to give honor to a dishonorable man, Haman, because it went against God's will. This act of conviction led to a chain of events that ultimately exposed Haman's evil agenda. The story serves as a reminder that living a principled life may lead to challenges, but it's essential to stay true to God's will and trust in His plan for your life. [... more]

Our Ultimate Treasure: Intentional Giving

Intentional giving is an act of discipleship that connects our resources to God's redemptive work in the world. It's not just another financial habit, but a response to the favor we've already received. Generosity becomes one of the most exciting things we do with our money when we realize that our work and income aren't just about survival or success, but about joining God in meeting needs and restoring the lives of others.

The Favor Factor (cont'd)

God is writing a story in your life, requiring some naysayers, enemies, and challenges to bring you to your purpose. Don't sweat your trouble, but trust in God's plan, and know that He is setting up a deliverance for a situation that hasn't even occurred yet. Your story is not about the people who are mistreating you, but about God's faithfulness and His ultimate victory. [... more]

When you are a child of God, the favor that is ordained for your life does not come from men, but from God.

Understanding divine favor and walking by faith are key to living a victorious Christian life. [... more]

God wants to give you personal dignity in Christ, restoring your identity and ability to help others.

Saving on Purpose

Saving and stewardship are not just about accumulating wealth, but about living with purpose and aligning our financial habits with values that reflect the kingdom. Scripture reminds us that we are stewards, not owners, and what we have is entrusted for purposes that reach beyond us. A life without margin leaves little flexibility to serve others, support ministry, or participate in kingdom work. God designed generosity often requires readiness, and readiness requires margin.

The Dark Spiritual Contagion of Anti-Israel, Anti-Jewish Enmity Part 2

Blessing Israel is important because turning against God's chosen people would be opposing God Himself. The Bible teaches that God made an everlasting covenant with Abraham, promising land, descendants, and blessings to the Jewish people. Despite their disobedience, God reaffirms His promise to national Israel, and many will come to saving faith in the end. The issue of Israel is crucial because it's about God keeping His promises and the consequences for those who turn against Him. [... more]

Serving by Grace

God's people who have received grace often fail to offer it to others, becoming Christian cul-de-sacs rather than conduits. Dr. Tony Evans emphasizes the importance of servanthood, stating that one's appreciation for God's grace is demonstrated by their willingness to serve others in the family of God. [... more]

Galatians 3:1-6 Spiritual Reversal

Paul confronts the Church of Galatia for putting themselves under the bondage of the law, basing their favor with God on their performance instead of the work of Jesus. He emphasizes that true transformation and righteousness come from faith in Jesus Christ, not from keeping a moral code or the law of Moses. The gospel of grace is about God doing something that only God can do, and it's not about trusting one's efforts to gain righteousness. [... more]

Gold and Silver: What Wise Investors Should Know

Precious metals can be a tool for preserving purchasing power, but they don't produce income or guarantee returns. As Christians, we must approach financial decisions with biblical wisdom, considering the bigger question of how to honor God with what He's entrusted. Stewardship involves planning and allocating resources with prudence, patience, and prayer, rather than reacting to fear or uncertainty. [... more]
