🐦‍🔥 "Living in victory doesn't mean that I never fight a battle again. Living in victory means I've learned how to win consistently." — Pastor DrewWrapping up the "Hunting Phoenix" sermon series, Pastor Drew emphasizes that true spiritual victory over recurring sin is never meant to be fought alone. Moving from the concept of individual struggle to community collaboration, he illustrates that the greatest hunters in nature—and in the kingdom of God—operate as a pack (hunting together).Drawing from 2 Samuel 21 and 22, the message examines King David and his mighty men defeating giants, highlighting how building a spiritual "stronghold" of consistent habits, prayer, and community changes our perspective from fear to faith. Pastor Drew outlines three key ways to be a great ally—keeping on battling, providing uncomfortable accountability, and focusing on the finish—and features powerful real-life testimonies of freedom from addiction and abuse within the church community. The service concludes with an interactive ministry time where seasoned believers surround and pray over those seeking to build their own strongholds of victory.-----------------------------------------------------📖 Scripture ReferencesEcclesiastes 4: 12 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ECC.4.122 Samuel 21: 15–22 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/2SA.21.15-222 Samuel 22 :1–4 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/2SA.22.1-41 Samuel 17 :11, 50–51 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1SA.17.111 Corinthians 10 :4 (referenced for divine power over strongholds) — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1CO.10.4Proverbs 27: 17 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PRO.27.17Revelation 12: 7, 11 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/REV.12.7-----------------------------------------------------00:00 — Introduction: Meeting in the Mustang Center & God as a God of Restoration03:19 — Series Finale: Hunting Together and Living in Victory06:48 — Ecclesiastes 4: The Power of a Three-Strand Cord (Me, God, and Community)08:33 — 2 Samuel 21: David, the Philistine Giants, and Recurring Battles13:15 — The Greatest Warrior Needs an Ally: Abishai Rescues David16:00 — The Now and Not Yet: Walking in Victory While Facing Battles17:12 — Establishing a Stronghold: Building Fortress Walls Brick by Brick22:42 — From Fear to Faith: How Israel's Response to Giants Changed26:16 — Becoming an Ally: Three Ways to Help Others Win34:49 — Uncomfortable Accountability and Focusing on the Finish41:18 — Real-Life Testimonies of Freedom (Rhonda, Kelsey, and Tom)45:09 — Altar Ministry: Building Strongholds Together Through Prayer-----------------------------------------------------For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomahaWe'd love to hear from you!

🐦‍🔥"If you would just keep watering the good soil in your life, it will eventually produce fruit... You may not see the growth in the moment, but as you keep doing that, you will look back and go, 'I couldn't see it then, but I see some fruit sprouting now.'" — Pastor MorganContinuing the "Hunting Phoenix" series, Pastor Morgan delivers an encouraging message focused on perseverance in the fight against sin, urging believers not to quit. Drawing from personal experiences and biblical truths, she acknowledges that the fight for righteousness is painful, intentional, and requires daily discipline, much like physical exercise or breaking and healing a bone.Addressing those who feel exhausted or discouraged by repeated failure, Pastor Morgan emphasizes that falling does not make someone a failure; rather, a righteous person falls seven times and gets back up. Using the analogy of an indoor lemon tree that took two years of unseen root growth before sprouting fruit, she encourages the congregation to keep "watering the good soil" through prayer, church attendance, and the Word of God. The message concludes with a powerful altar call inviting believers to surrender lingering strongholds, unforgiveness, and pride.---------------------------------------------James 1: 2–4 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JAS.1.2-4 Hebrews 11 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/HEB.11.1 Hebrews 12: 1–11 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/HEB.12.1-11 Proverbs 24: 16 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PRO.24.16 Romans 8:37 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.8.37 Romans 6: 6, 14 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.6.6Micah 7: 8 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MIC.7.82 Corinthians 10: 4–5 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/2CO.10.4-5Hebrews 10: 14 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/HEB.10.14Philippians 1: 6 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PHP.1.6---------------------------------------------00:00 — Introduction: The Power of Community and Not Quitting 02:30 — Personal Testimony: Fighting for Relationships and Not Giving Up 04:22 — The Daily Battle Against Sin, Negativity, and Pride 05:56 — The Enemy's Goal: Getting You to Quit the Fight 08:04 — James 1: How Testing and Perseverance Produce Maturity 09:56 — Hebrews 12: Throwing Off Sin and Running the Race with Endurance 11:52 — The Pain of Holiness: Breaking, Healing, and Choosing the Spirit 14:59 — Encouragement for the Weary: Failing Forward vs. Failing Backwards 20:57 — 2 Corinthians 10: Demolishing Strongholds and Taking Thoughts Captive 24:35 — The Indoor Lemon Tree Illustration: Watering the Soil When You Don't See Fruit 30:57 — Altar Call: Leaving Unforgiveness, Pride, and Strongholds at the Altar ---------------------------------------------For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomahaWe'd love to hear from you!

🐦‍🔥 "The thing you resist actually will persist... The more I focus on my sin, the more I'm going to be focused on my sin." — Pastor DrewIn this installment of the "Hunting Phoenix" sermon series, Pastor Drew addresses how to break free from recurring strongholds by changing where we place our focus. While many believers stay trapped in habitual sin by constantly obsessing over their struggles (what we resist, persists), true biblical transformation comes from starving the flesh and actively feeding the spirit.Drawing from Galatians 5, Romans 12, and Philippians 4, Pastor Drew outlines a three-part framework to defeat strongholds from the inside out: Shift Your Focus off the sin and onto Christ, Renew Your Mind by building new spiritual pathways, and Replace Your Habits with practical, God-honoring daily rhythms. By claiming our true identity in Christ and surrounding ourselves with allies who remind us who we are, we can step out of the cycle of defeat and into lasting spiritual victory.------------------------------------------📖 Scripture ReferencesGalatians 5: 16–25 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/GAL.5.16-25 1 Corinthians 10 :13 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1CO.10.13Mark 9: 28–29 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MRK.9.28-29Romans 12: 1–2 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.12.1-2Philippians 4: 8–9 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PHP.4.8-91 Timothy 6: 11 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1TI.6.112 Corinthians 5: 17 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/2CO.5.17 ------------------------------------------00:00 — Introduction: God Desperately Wants to Connect with You 03:34 — Hunting Phoenix: Sins of Omission vs. Sins of Commission 07:14 — Series Recap: Coming Broken, Identifying Lies, and Setting Boundaries 09:35 — You Are Not Alone: God Always Provides a Way Out (1 Corinthians 10) 10:58 — Starve the Flesh, Feed the Spirit (Mark 9 & Galatians 5) 14:29 — Step 1: Shift Your Focus (The Angel/Devil Shoulder Illustration) 20:33 — The Works of the Flesh vs. The Fruit of the Spirit 23:03 — Step 2: Renew Your Mind & Build New Neurological Pathways (Romans 12) 26:20 — Fixing Your Thoughts on Truth & Remembering Who You Are (Philippians 4 & 1 Timothy 6) 31:28 — Step 3: Replace Your Habits & Build Keystone Rhythms 36:33 — Practical Application: Writing & Praying Identity Statements 39:10 — Altar Call & Closing Prayer for Spiritual Breakthrough------------------------------------------For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomahaWe'd love to hear from you!

🐦‍🔥 "Don't try to battle with your own words. Battle with the Bible. God's words come with an authority that you do not have." — Pastor DrewContinuing the "Hunting Phoenix" sermon series, Pastor Drew addresses how believers can shift from being hunted by recurring sins to becoming active overcomers through spiritual warfare. Using personal stories of struggle and victory, he highlights that overcoming persistent strongholds requires recognizing the spiritual nature of the battle and establishing proactive, inconvenient boundaries before temptation strikes.Drawing from Paul’s exhortations in Ephesians 6, 2 Timothy 2, and Romans 6, Pastor Drew outlines a two-phase strategy for freedom: Flight (fleeing access points and triggers) followed by Fight (standing firm with the armor of God, Scripture, and prayer). By evaluating personal vulnerability triggers—such as when one is Haughty, Angry, Lonely, or Tired (HALT)—and engaging with trusted spiritual allies, believers can step into the full authority and freedom provided through Jesus Christ.-----------------------------------📖 Scripture ReferencesGenesis 4: 7 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/GEN.4.7Ephesians 6: 10–20 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/EPH.6.10-202 Timothy 2: 22 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/2TI.2.221 Corinthians 6: 18 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1CO.6.18James 4: 6–8 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JAS.4.6-8Psalm 119 :9–11 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PSA.119.9-11Romans 6: 12–14 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.6.12-14 -----------------------------------00:00 — Introduction: Moving from Hunted to Hunter03:14 — Recap: Prayer, Identifying Lies, and Confessing to Allies05:20 — Understanding the Spiritual Reality of Sin (Genesis 4 & Ephesians 6)09:50 — Personal Testimony: The 7-Year Battle & the Desire to Truly Kill Sin15:02 — Phase 1: Flight — Fleeing Temptation (The Lord’s Prayer)18:12 — Identifying Access Points & Creating Inconvenient Boundaries20:21 — Recognizing Triggers: The H.A.L.T.

🐦‍🔥 "Once you say, 'I am yours,' and He implants His Spirit inside of you, no longer does sin carry power or authority over you—except that which you give it." — Pastor DrewContinuing the "Hunting Phoenix" sermon series, Pastor Drew tackles how to strip power from recurring spiritual strongholds, addictions, and patterns of sin. While salvation brings freedom from sin’s authority, believers often fall back into habitual patterns by making subconscious agreements with core lies planted by the enemy.Drawing from Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4, Pastor Drew breaks down a four-step framework to dismantle strongholds: catching the sin or trigger, calling out the underlying core lie, countering that lie with the Word of God, and confessing to a trusted ally. Moving beyond mere surface honesty, he emphasizes the necessity of complete transparency and radical accountability to bring true healing to the soul. ----------------------------------------Scripture ReferencesRomans 6 :7 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.6.7John 4: 1–30 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.4.1-30James 5 :16 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JAS.5.16James 5: 19–20 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JAS.5.19-20 ----------------------------------------00:00 — Introduction: Celebrating God’s Presence & New Life Sunday05:01 — The "Same Thing" Commercial: Identifying Recurring Sin07:05 — Salvation vs. Sanctification (Romans 6)10:34 — The Woman at the Well: Breaking Cultural & Spiritual Barriers (John 4)12:50 — Well Water vs. Living Water: Soul Satisfaction16:33 — Step 1: Catch the Sin or the Trigger21:40 — Unmasking Enemy Distractions & Worship Issues24:08 — Step 2: Call Out the Core Lie Underneath the Stronghold29:43 — Step 3: Counter the Lie with Biblical Truth32:48 — Step 4: Confess to an Ally (James 5)34:48 — Three Essentials for Accountability: Honesty vs. Transparency37:25 — How to Receive Confession with Truth and Love39:41 — Practical Altar Call & Challenge to Seek an Ally ----------------------------------------For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomahaWe'd love to hear from you!

🐦‍🔥 "When you start over by focusing on you, you are actually amplifying the big problem... Rebirth in Christ is actually not about redefining me. It's about dying to me." — Pastor DrewIn this message, Pastor Drew kicks off the sermon series titled "Hunting Phoenix," which focuses on identifying and destroying recurring spiritual strongholds, addictions, and sins that seem to rise from the ashes back into our lives. He contrasts the world's version of rebirth—which focuses on self-redefinition and personal effort—with biblical rebirth, which requires complete surrender and dying to self.Drawing from Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus in John 3, Paul’s struggle in Romans 7, and the humility of the tax collector in Luke 18, Pastor Drew highlights that our greatest mistake is trying to defeat spiritual battles in our own strength. He emphasizes that the path to true freedom begins with the honest admission of "I can't," shifting our focus from our own weakness ("I am not") to God's ultimate power ("But He is").-------------------------------------------📖 Scripture ReferencesJohn 3: 1–16 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.3.1-16Matthew 16: 24–25 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MAT.16.24-25Colossians 3: 3 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/COL.3.3Romans 7: 18–25 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.7.18-25Luke 18: 9–14 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/LUK.18.9-14Ephesians 6: 12 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/EPH.6.12-------------------------------------------00:00 — Introduction & Welcome to Collective Church01:11 — Series Launch: "Hunting Phoenix" & Overcoming Strongholds03:26 — Unmasking Modern Addictions & Distractions07:54 — What is a "Phoenix" Sin?09:09 — Worldly Rebirth vs. Biblical Rebirth (John 3 & Matthew 16)14:19 — Surrendering Purpose: Creator vs. Creation15:58 — Step One: Admitting "I Can't" (Romans 7)18:50 — The Humility of the Tax Collector (Luke 18)19:44 — What the Church Can Learn from AA Meetings23:03 — From "I Am Not" to "But God Can" (Ephesians 6)25:08 — Altar Call & Prayer of Desperation28:41 — Invitation to Recommit & Gospel Call-------------------------------------------For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomahaWe'd love to hear from you!

🔥"God does not need a big army. He needed two people with faith. God did not need favorable circumstances; He needed willing vessels." — Pastor MorganIn this sermon, Pastor Morgan challenges believers to break free from fear-based paralysis and step into an active, bold faith. Drawing from 1 Samuel 14, where Jonathan and his armor bearer confronted a Philistine outpost, she highlights the contrast between King Saul—who sat paralyzed under a pomegranate tree in fear—and Jonathan, who chose to move in faith saying, "Perhaps the Lord will act on our behalf".Ahead of Collective Church's fifth anniversary ("Welcome Home Sunday"), Pastor Morgan outlines six key elements that faith requires: movement, risk, belief in God's character, armor bearers (community), confirmation, and a willingness to trust God for "crazy" outcomes. The message concludes with a call to action to stop letting past disappointments or societal fear dictate obedience, and to trust that God can still work through willing vessels. ------------------------------------📖 Scripture References1 Samuel 14:1–14 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1SA.14.1-14Hebrews 11:1 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/HEB.11.1Exodus 17:8–13 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/EXO.17.8-13Mark 9:24 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MRK.9.24 ------------------------------------00:00 — Church Fast Announcement & Welcome Home Sunday Intro03:15 — Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 14 (Jonathan & the Armor Bearer)05:56 — Context: Saul's Fear vs. Jonathan's Faith08:44 — How Worldly Fear Paralyzes Our Faith12:35 — Point 1: Faith Requires Movement14:41 — Point 2: Faith Requires Risk18:25 — Point 3: Faith Requires Belief ("Perhaps God Will")21:42 — Point 4: Faith Requires Armor Bearers (Holding Up Arms)27:08 — Point 5: Faith Requires Confirmation30:04 — Point 6: Faith Sometimes Requires "Crazy"34:01 — Altar Call, Worship & Prayer Against Fear41:48 — Closing Encouragement: "I Believe, Help My Unbelief"------------------------------------For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomahaWe'd love to hear from you!

🔥"If you are comfortable in your faith, your faith is dying... If you're uncomfortable in your faith, that means your faith is alive." — Pastor DrewIn this message, Pastor Drew challenges the congregation to move past a passive, "comfortable" faith and step into a missional lifestyle. Highlighting that the church is meant to be an "aircraft carrier" (refueling to be sent out) rather than a "cruise ship" (a place to simply sit and be served), he outlines how true discipleship requires both individual and corporate action.Ahead of the church's upcoming Welcome Home Sunday and fifth anniversary celebration, Pastor Drew announces a church-wide seven-day fast and prayer push to douse the city and ministry in prayer. He provides a practical four-step framework for everyday evangelism—Be a Believer, Be a Blessing, Share the Gospel, and Establish the Gospel—urging believers to plant seeds, initiate spiritual conversations, and take the gospel into local third places like coffee shops, workplaces, and neighborhoods. ---------------------------------------📖 Scripture ReferencesMatthew 5:13–16 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MAT.5.13-16Ephesians 4:11–12 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/EPH.4.11-12Acts 1:8 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ACT.1.8---------------------------------------00:00 — What Comes to Mind When You Think of "Church"? 01:53 — Welcome Home Sunday & 7-Day Fasting Announcement 06:55 — The Church as the Body of Christ in the World09:07 — Matthew 5: The Danger of a "Good For Nothing" Faith14:09 — Missional Values: Mission Driven & Generous Living19:06 — Corporate vs. Individual Impact: Cruise Ships vs. Aircraft Carriers21:33 — Ephesians 4 & Acts 1: You Are the Strategy27:14 — 4 Ways to Be & Bring the Gospel (Practical Evangelism)29:48 — The Three Circles: Sharing the Gospel & Your Story35:38 — Establishing the Gospel: Micro-Churches & Revival in Omaha41:07 — Call to Action & Altar Prayer---------------------------------------For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomahaWe'd love to hear from you!

👟🔥 "He doesn't say, 'How beautiful are the hands or the mouth.' He says, 'How beautiful are the feet.' Because your feet move, your hands follow, and your mouth speaks. He wants us to go show them Jesus." — Pastor Ben NorvigGuest speaker Pastor Ben Norvig (Next Gen Pastor at Love Church) delivers an urgent, energetic call to action focused on Romans 10:13–15. Sharing his personal journey—from losing his college baseball scholarship due to his lifestyle to suddenly losing his wife 11 years ago—Pastor Ben illustrates how God redeems our past and turns tragedy into a mission to "speak life and spread joy."Using the story of John Courier, a prisoner who served 10 unnecessary years because no one delivered his pardon letter, Ben challenges believers to put on "good news shoes." True gospel culture requires stepping out of our comfort zones, overcoming the fear of not having all the answers, and bringing the freedom of Jesus directly into our daily routines.--------------------------------------------📖Scripture ReferencesRomans 10 : 13–15 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.10.13-15Genesis 1–3 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/GEN.1-3John 6 : 53–56 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.6.53-56Matthew 26 : 51–54 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MAT.26.51-54Matthew 28 : 19–20 — https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MAT.28.19-20 --------------------------------------------00:00 — Introduction & Pastor Ben's Story11:11 — Scripture Reading: Romans 10:13–1512:40 — The Story of John Courier: Unclaimed Freedom21:28 — The Gospel: The Descending Way of Jesus32:09 — Putting On "Good News Shoes"43:45 — Bringing Heaven to Earth & Call to Action--------------------------------------------For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomahaWe'd love to hear from you!
