  Called Out of Darkness, Sent Into the City | Ron Brown

  Jun 15, 202635 min

  God did not transform alumni just so they could have a better life. He transformed them to become kingdom servants, kingdom warriors, and living signs of His power. At the Spiritual Emphasis Alumni Luncheon, Ron Brown spoke from Psalm 71 and reminded alumni that they are “miraculous signs” to many. Their lives tell the world that God still heals broken hearts, sets captives free, delivers the oppressed, and restores what others thought was finished. “You are a miraculous sign,” Ron said. He also declared, “God doesn’t do miracles just to do miracles, but He always has a purpose for a miracle.” This message looks back to the original vision of Teen Challenge in Los Angeles and looks forward to what Ron called Mission LA, a renewed call for alumni to pray, serve, and believe God for revival in the greater Los Angeles area. With millions in California still battling addiction and many never accessing help, Ron challenged alumni to ask what God may want to do through the testimony, wisdom, and spiritual authority He has placed in their lives. The call is not to abandon what God has already placed in their hands, but to listen for the prophetic invitation of Jesus. Like Peter stepping onto the water, alumni are called to keep their eyes on the Lord and move beyond comfort into mission. The application is simple: continue in Jesus, keep your life filled with praise, let your testimony show forth the splendor of God, and ask, “Lord, what is my part?” There is more to be done, more darkness to push back, and more lives waiting to see the awe and wonder of God through miraculous signs who are still standing.

  When You Come Down the Mountain | Mike Conway

  Jun 15, 202626 min

  After powerful worship, preaching, and altar moments, the question becomes simple: how do we walk this out tomorrow? Mike Conway preached from Colossians 3 and gave students a practical word for coming down the mountain and returning home with clarity. Victory is not sustained by hype, human effort, or trying harder. It is sustained by a clear vision of Christ, seated at the right hand of God, and the truth that we have already been raised with Him. “There’s victory with clear vision,” Mike said. He also reminded students, “The miracle is already yours.” This message calls us to set our hearts and minds on things above. Our old desires, false beliefs, destructive patterns, and earthly attachments no longer have the final word. The old life is dead, and our lives are now hidden with Christ in God. When old thoughts, temptations, anger, lies, and desires try to rise again, we do not have to believe them or return to them. We can see them for what they are and put them to death. Mike reminded students that freedom is not merely changed behavior. It is a transformed mind, a renewed heart, and a restored identity. God is making us image bearers again, people who reflect the Creator through love, patience, forgiveness, truth, and obedience. The application is simple: keep your eyes on the throne room. Set your heart on Christ. Set your mind on what is above. Put off the old self, put on the new self, and walk out the victory Jesus has already won.

  The Power of a Testimony | Jonathan Skiles

  Jun 15, 202630 min

  A transformed life is one of the clearest displays of victory in Jesus. Jonathan Skiles preached from 1 John 1 and reminded students that the Christian life is not built on theory alone. It is built on what we have seen, heard, received, and experienced through the power of Jesus Christ. Our testimony becomes evidence that the gospel is still the power of God unto salvation. Jonathan connected 1 Corinthians 15:57 with Revelation 12:11, showing that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. The testimony does not exist apart from the blood of Jesus. It is the blood of Christ that saves, cleanses, heals, restores, and gives us something worth declaring. “We don’t have a testimony without the blood of Jesus,” Jonathan said. He also declared, “The power that saved me is the power that keeps me.” Through personal stories of salvation, healing, prison ministry, and God’s faithfulness in moments of great need, this message reminds us that Jesus is not weak, distant, or limited. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His power still saves. His power still heals. His power still delivers. His power still gives people a testimony that can be shared with the world. The application is simple: give God thanks for the testimony He is writing in your life. Believe Him for the victory you have not yet seen. Finish the course He has placed before you. And as God continues to disciple, heal, and strengthen you, carry your testimony into a world that is still bound, still hurting, and still in need of Jesus.

  Palm Branches of Victory | Walter Colace

  Jun 15, 202658 min

  The communion table reminds us that our salvation is not based on our good works, but on the finished work of Jesus Christ. Walter Colace opened this message by leading students in the Lord’s Supper, calling them to remember that they were purchased with the blood of Jesus and given immeasurable value before God. Communion is not just a ritual. It is a reminder that Christ’s body was given, His blood was poured out, and His death is proclaimed until He comes again. From there, Walter preached from John 12 and the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The crowd waved palm branches, a symbol of victory in Jewish history, expecting Jesus to deliver them from Rome. But Jesus came to bring a greater victory than political freedom. He came to conquer sin, the world, Satan, and death. “Jesus wasn’t just coming into Jerusalem to give victory to Jewish people,” Walter said. “He was giving the victory to all of humanity that would come to Him in faith.” He also declared, “You have the victory because your victory is tethered to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.” This message points us to the Lamb who was worthy, the Savior who triumphed, and the King who is coming again. Jesus conquered sin so we no longer have to be enslaved to it. He overcame the world so we can have peace in tribulation. He defeated Satan and put the powers of darkness to open shame. He conquered death so that all who are united with Him will also share in His resurrection. The application is simple: receive the victory Jesus has already secured. Keep the Word of God in your heart. Guard your testimony. Stop living as though defeat is your only future. In Christ, you are an overcomer, and your victory is anchored in the cross, the empty tomb, and the Lamb who sits on the throne.

  Episode #266

  Satan Had Me Bound, But Jesus Set Me Free | Gary Wilkerson

  Jun 15, 202633 min

  Romans 8 opens with one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Gary Wilkerson preached a message about freedom from condemnation, freedom from self-effort, and freedom from the exhausting cycle of feeling “in and out” with God. Many believers wrestle with the thought that they are in the Spirit when they are doing well, but back in the flesh when they stumble, struggle, or feel weak. Romans 8 gives us a better word. Gary reminded students that the law of the Spirit of life has set us free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. The flesh could not save us. Trying harder could not save us. Religious effort, stronger promises, and moral performance could not deliver us. “For God” did what the law could not do by sending His own Son. “This is true all the time,” Gary said of the promise of no condemnation. He also declared, “You, however, are not in the flesh, but you’re in the Spirit.” This message teaches that Jesus not only removes our sin, but gives us His righteousness. He changes the operating system of our lives. In Christ, we are not living in and out, up and down, condemned one day and accepted the next. We belong to Him. His Spirit dwells in us. His life is at work in us. The application is simple and powerful: stop trying to do in your own strength what only Jesus can do. Believe that there is no condemnation in Christ. Set your mind on the Spirit. Trust the righteousness Jesus has placed within you, and walk in the life and peace He has already won.
