Knowing about Jesus and walking in His power are not always the same thing. Pastor Hans continues this series on the Holy Spirit by looking at why Jesus told His followers to wait before stepping into what He had called them to do. This message explores the difference the Holy Spirit makes when fear, weakness, and limitation meet the power of God.
What if God’s presence is more personal and closer than you ever realized? Pastor Hans begins a new series on the Holy Spirit by exploring the difference between God being around us and God living within us. This message invites you to rethink what it means to truly belong to Him, walk with Him, and experience the kind of life only His Spirit can bring.
Most of us think of rest as a break, something we earn after we have done enough. But what if rest is actually showing you something you would not see any other way? Pastor Hans invites us to look closer at what rest uncovers about God, and what it quietly exposes in us. This message challenges the pace we live at and asks a deeper question about trust, control, and what it really means to slow down.
Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel return to Praise Assembly, bringing over 30 years of global ministry experience. From crusades in Africa to churches and conferences across the U.S., Rudi’s clear, passionate teaching and Sharon’s powerful evangelistic ministry—through which over 200,000 have come to Christ—make this a service you don’t want to miss.
What if the next generation is not waiting their turn, but already stepping into what God has for them? Pastor Bailey shares a message that challenges the way we think about students, their role in the church, and what God can do through them right now. With baptisms, testimonies, and a full morning centered on what God is doing, this message invites you to see the next generation with fresh eyes and real expectation.
At some point, the question becomes unavoidable. What should I actually do with all of this? Pastor Hans walks through a moment in Acts where that question is asked out loud, and the answer is both simple and challenging. This message invites you to consider what it looks like to stop circling the idea of faith and take a real step forward.
The story does not end the way you would expect. It ends with fear, questions, and an empty tomb. Pastor Hans walks through the final chapter of Mark and brings us face to face with the same tension the first witnesses felt. Along with a special Easter choir, this service pointed to the power and weight of the resurrection. This message invites you to wrestle with what it really means if Jesus is alive, and what you do with that reality.
Family means different things to different people. For some it brings comfort, for others it raises questions. Guest speaker Phil McMillan from Convoy of Hope shared a message that reframes what it means to belong and how God brings people into something deeper than we often expect. This message invites you to consider where identity, connection, and purpose are truly found, and why the family God builds looks different than anything we create on our own.
We measure everything. Growth, progress, success. It is easy to count what is visible, but what if the most important measure cannot be tracked on a chart? Pastor Hans challenges us to look at the one standard Jesus keeps bringing us back to, one that reveals far more about who we are than numbers ever could. This message invites you to take an honest look at what is really shaping your life and your faith.
The church has a mission, but how that mission actually moves forward matters just as much. In this message, Pastor Bailey looks at the way Jesus shaped His followers and the surprising method He used to change the world. It was not flashy, fast, or built on human strategy. This message invites you to rethink how God works through ordinary people and why His way still transforms lives today.
When people think about what makes a church strong, they usually think about buildings, programs, or resources. Pastor Hans takes us in a different direction and points to the one resource that truly changes everything. This message invites you to consider what it means for the Church to rely on something far greater than human effort and how that reality reshapes the way we live, pray, and move forward together.
Today was a day to celebrate what God has been doing and what he will continue to do as we trust him. Delmarva Adult & Teen Challenge brought a message of hope to those who are hurting from the destruction of addiction. As you listen to today’s message you will be encouraged by worship, testimonies and God’s word to believe God can do miracles in the lives of loved ones and our own lives as we surrender ourselves wholly to Him.
Every organization has a mission statement. Few have a mission that spans nations, generations, and eternity. Pastor Hans turns our attention to the mission Jesus gave His Church and why it still matters more than ever. This message invites you to reconsider what you are part of and how your everyday obedience fits into something far bigger than you imagined.
The church has flaws. History proves that. So what makes it worth believing in, building, and belonging to? Pastor Hans turns our attention to the one thing that makes the Church truly great, not its programs, reputation, or influence, but its Maker. This message invites you to look past the surface and see the Church the way Jesus does, shaped by His authority, His sacrifice, and His purpose.
We are drawn to questions about the future, the timing, and the signs that tell us what is coming next. Pastor Hans walks through a moment in Mark where the disciples ask the questions everyone wants answered, and Jesus responds in a way that redirects their focus. This message invites you to consider why some questions feel comforting, and why the answers we actually need often challenge how we live, watch, and trust God today.
Some moments stop Jesus in His tracks. In this message from the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Hans points us to a quiet act that revealed a deeper way of living and trusting God. This message invites you to look beyond what is comfortable or calculated and consider how generosity shapes the heart, the life, and the kind of faith that truly honors God.
When Jesus was asked to name the most important commandment, His answer was simple but far from easy. Pastor Bailey challenges us to look at what it really means to love God and love people when life gets busy, faith feels routine, or relationships get complicated. This message invites you to rethink where your love is directed and what it looks like when faith moves beyond words into everyday life.
It’s easy to get consumed by what feels urgent, loud, and powerful in front of us. Pastor Hans points to a moment in Mark where Jesus quietly reframes who truly holds authority and what really deserves our allegiance. This message invites you to pause and reconsider which kingdom is shaping your decisions, your identity, and the direction of your life.
Authority can feel uncomfortable, especially when it looks closely at our lives instead of staying at a distance. Pastor Hans walks through a moment in Mark where Jesus steps into the center of religious life and does not back away. This message invites you to consider what happens when Jesus has the authority not only to lead you, but to shape you, challenge you, and bring real change from the inside out.
A new year makes it tempting to rush ahead, make plans, and grab control. Pastor Hans opens the next message in the Mark series by pointing us to a moment when Jesus chose patience over pressure and timing over impulse. This message invites you to slow down, look closer, and consider what might happen if you trusted God’s timing more than your own.
