Ready for a boost of inspiration? In this episode, we’re diving into the sermon “We Want Some Mo” and exploring how the presence of God truly changes everything. We’ll talk about how an authentic encounter with the Holy Spirit can fill your life with joy and transform your perspective. Let’s get ready to embrace more of His presence and look forward to the incredible things ahead becuase the best is yet to come!
Sermon Notes:
The Presence Of God Changes Everything. (Jesus truly satisfies and gives us fullness of joy)
“As I began to speak,” Peter continued, “the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as he fell on us at the beginning. Then I thought of the Lord’s words when he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ And since God gave these Gentiles the same gift he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to stand in God’s way?” Acts 11:15-17 NLT
The Word Works If You Work It. (We Work It)
“God’s word is alive and working and is sharper than a double-edged sword. It cuts all the way into us, where the soul and the spirit are joined, to the center of our joints and bones. And it judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts.” Hebrews 4:12 NCV
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NLT
The Best is Yet To Come. (God isn’t done yet)
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV
“Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12 NIV
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21 NLT

In this episode, we will dive deep into the heart of what it means to be the church. Church isn't something we do, it's who we are! Whether you're a lifelong churchgoer or exploring faith for the first time, this episode is for you. Tune in to be encouraged to connect, invest, and invite others into this incredible journey of faith. Come ride with us and experience the joy of being all-in for the Kingdom!
Sermon Notes:
Church isn’t something we do, it’s who we are. (We are the hands and feet of Jesus)
“Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” Ephesians 4:11-16 NLT
We’re All In! (God gave His all, so we give our all)
“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field. “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!“ Matthew 13:44-46 NLT
Come.
Connect.
Invest.
Invite.

What is up, fam? I am doing a leadership investment. It's a teaching with our staff and leadership that I've been working on a while. And what I've decided to do is to share it on podcasts and other platforms. I think it'll bless you, your leadership, because we're all leading somebody or misleading somebody. It'll bless you and encourage you and you'll get clarity on where we're going and why as a church, because it's challenging our leaders, encouraging us. The best is yet to come, guys! God is moving in this church, and we are going to see some amazing things. And I just want you to have clarity. So, I think it will encourage you and give you some leadership wisdom that you can apply in whatever you're leading, wherever you're leading from home and beyond. And you can get a good taste of what we're doing at Catalyst because the best is yet to come, family. I love you. Check it out. Hope it blesses you! - Ben

In today’s sermon, we delve into the simplicity and permanence of the Gospel, uncovering the essence of what truly endures. At the heart of our message is the undeniable truth that Jesus is enough—His sacrifice and victory are central to our faith. Whether you’re seeking encouragement or a deeper understanding of the Gospel, there’s room for you here. Tune in and be inspired to anchor your life in what remains unchanging.
Sermon Notes:
We Keep It Simple. (The Gospel Is Simple)
“Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” Romans 5:7-8 NLT
“See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1 NLT
“You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.”
2 Corinthians 8:9 NLT
“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 NLT
Jesus Is Enough. (He’s The Heart of Everything We Do)
“When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last. I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.” Revelation 1:17-18 NLT
“But Christ has shown me that what I once thought was valuable is worthless. Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have given up everything else and count it all as garbage. All I want is Christ” Philippians 3:7-8 CEV
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” Matthew 24:35 NIV
There’s Room For You Here. (God is moving. We are moving. Come get you some!)
”For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.“ Galatians 5:6 NIV

“As a result we were showered with honors, and when the time came to sail, people supplied us with everything we would need for the trip.” Acts 28:10 NLT
“When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to have his own private lodging, though he was guarded by a soldier. For the next two years, Paul lived in Rome at his own expense. He welcomed all who visited him, boldly proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one tried to stop him.” Acts 28:16, 30-31 NLT
