14 SEP 2026 · You're not stuck. You're not finished. You're not being forgotten. You are in a place called through — and through is not the end of the story. It's the way to it. Pastor A preaches from Philippians 4:10–13 and reframes everything about the season you're in right now. Paul didn't say I can do everything in spite of my circumstances. He said I can do everything through Christ. And through is not just a word — it's a direction. It's a way. And as long as Jesus is your through, there is nothing you cannot conquer, overcome, or walk out of.

11 SEP 2026 · Spiritual Maturity: Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit
Spiritual maturity isn’t measured by how long we’ve been in church, how gifted we are, or how much Scripture we know. The evidence of maturity is found in our character and the fruit our lives produce. In this teaching, Pastor A challenges us to take responsibility for our spiritual growth and examine the condition of our soil. God’s Word can be planted, but we must be prepared to receive it, allow it to take root, and let the Holy Spirit transform how we think, respond, and live. As the teaching continues, we look deeper at the Fruit of the Spirit and what it means to actually walk by the Spirit. Maturity changes our desires, our responses, what we tolerate, and even what we outgrow. Ultimately, our talk and our walk should match—and our lives should bear evidence that we are connected to Christ.
This message will challenge you to ask: Is my life producing fruit?

9 SEP 2026 · The church has done a great job of preaching us into victory. But it has failed miserably at preparing us to suffer. And suffering is not optional — even under grace, even when you're doing everything right, even when you're building exactly what God told you to build. Pastor A continues in Nehemiah 6 and picks up where last week left off. Nehemiah built the wall with enemies on every side — and every time they couldn't stop him, they found a new strategy. A meeting invitation. A rumor. A letter that looked like a warning but was really a trap. And every time, Nehemiah gave the same answer: I am doing important work. I cannot come down. This week goes deeper — into what suffering actually produces, why some collaborations are really abortions, and what lives on the right side of "but I prayed."

4 SEP 2026 · Spiritual maturity is not how long you've been saved. It's not how much you know. It's not your gift, your title, or how many times you've been to church. It's the evidence of transformation — in your character, your responses, and the fruit your life produces. In Part I of this Bible study series, Pastor A opens Ephesians 4:11–13 and Romans 12:2 and lays the foundation for what spiritual maturity actually is — and more importantly, who is responsible for it. The gifts God gave to the church are sent to help you grow. But whether the Word changes you is not based on the Word alone. It is based on the soil it falls on. And you are responsible for your soil. What you'll receive in this session:
- The biblical definition of spiritual maturity — and why it has nothing to do with knowledge alone
- Why you can sit under the Word for years and still not be changed — and what the parable of the sower reveals about your responsibility
- The difference between knowledge and wisdom — and why gifting without maturity is one of the most dangerous combinations in the church
- How to recognize the evidence of spiritual immaturity — in conflict, correction, offense, and difficult seasons
- What the fruit of the Spirit actually looks like as proof of growth Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.

1 SEP 2026 · In this message, Pastor Andrea Gates preaches from Nehemiah 6:1–9 and delivers a word for everyone who has been building through resistance and needs strength to keep going. Topics covered:
- Why resistance comes as soon as you begin building
- Why hurt that looks like help is one of the enemy's most strategic moves
- What "but I prayed" teaches us about surviving the attack
- Why your yet hasn't come yet — and what it means to be covered in the process
- A prayer for everyone in the incubator: God, make me strong Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.

24 AUG 2026 · The season of going around the same mountain is over. God is about to move so fast your head will swim — one blessing fast on the heels of another. What took ten years is about to happen in one. That's not luck. That's the anointing of acceleration hitting your life. Pastor A preaches from Amos 9:13–15 and delivers a word for everyone who feels like they've wasted time, lost years, or watched opportunity pass them by. God is not done. He's about to restore in order to accelerate — and some things you lost, you're going to need for this next assignment.

18 AUG 2026 · You've done everything you know to do. You've prayed. You've believed. You've spoken it. So why does it still feel like you're carrying it all by yourself? Because somewhere along the way — you stopped letting God be God. Pastor A brings a word today for everyone who has been trying to pray and perform the miracle at the same time. There is a position that belongs to you and a position that belongs to God. When you step out of yours and into His, the weight becomes too much to carry. But when you stay in your place — faith — He takes care of everything else. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tpc-the-light-carriers--6849593/support.
