Offering message: Pastor Pat shares his testimony of God’s faithfulness. Luke 6:38 You give, and God gives to you. Joseph got what the Father promised, even though he went through bad times. We give because we are like our Father. Sermon message: Col. 3:23 Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly as to the Lord and not to man. Give God you all. We are working as unto God. We represent God, so do it well. Impact peoples’ lives wherever you go. Cooperate with God. Col.3:17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of Jesus, as if Jesus did it, giving thanks to God. Others will give thanks, too, because of what we do and say. Prov. 22:29 Be diligent in business, and you will stand before kings. The reward is God’s blessing.
Give Him Your All
Wednesday October 12, 2011
Let Your Light Shine
Monday October 1, 2012
Offering Message: Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you… You won’t be able to contain it, because you’ll keep sharing it and increasing others. Respond to God’s nudges. Sermon Message: (John 9:4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me…) (Matt. 5:14-16 Let your light shine before men…) You are the light. Let your light shine by your works, and don’t be afraid to let people know you’re a Christian. God strategically places us as a light to guide others to salvation, deliverance, and freedom. We are here to do Jesus’ works. We must make a difference in our community. Jesus went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. Be light where you are and obey the nudges of the Holy Spirit. There are never enough workers in the church. You are here for a reason, and we can change our world by being a light. Be the church. (Pastor Pat shares many testimonies in his sermon.)
Jesus Healed Them All
Wednesday July 9, 2014
The question of healing is one that seems to put people in the Church at odds with one another. Together we look at the ministry of Jesus and how He responded when people sought Him out for healing. Over and over we see, “Jesus Healed Them All.”
Marriage Defined
Wednesday July 9, 2014
In our first session on the topic of Divorce and Remarriage, we thought it prudent to define marriage in terms of what the Bible teaches.
Defining Divorce
Wednesday July 9, 2014
In our second session we look at the biblical definition of divorce.
The Process of Divorce
Wednesday July 9, 2014
Divorce doesn’t just happen. Usually divorce is working long before the event called divorce takes place. Together we look at the Process of Divorce and the signs or flags that indicate that divorce is in progress.
The Victims of Divorce
Wednesday July 9, 2014
With the grim statistics in mind, we look at who is impacted by divorce. The Victims of Divorce are many and varied. Most people going through a divorce don’t understand why people behave the way they do, but this study may help.
The Impact of Divorce
Wednesday July 9, 2014
As we continue our study of a biblical perspective on Divorce and Remarriage we look at toll it takes in so many areas of life. The Impact of Divorce is a look at what goes on and why people behave the way they do.
Biblical Grounds for Divorce
Wednesday July 9, 2014
When we talk about divorce, we need to remember that the Bible does give grounds for a legitimate divorce, but it also sets limitations on divorce that will keep us from being cavalier about it. We look at the Biblical Grounds for Divorce to see how we can best minister to those who are faced with this tragic trauma.
Life After Divorce
Wednesday July 9, 2014
For those going through the painful and costly process of divorce there is often no hope for the future, but there is such a thing as Life After Divorce. Together we look at what life after divorce may look like and what the biblical limitations are for those who experience this life altering event.
Remarriage
Wednesday July 9, 2014
In the church, divorce is a touchy subject at best and at times taboo even for conversation. But the subject that will cause the greatest controversy and even separate family members is that of “Remarriage”. Can a Christian divorce and remarry? What do we, the Church, do with those who do? And how does all this affect the plan and call of God on the life of the believer? Here we examine these questions.
Divorce-proof Your Marriage
Wednesday July 9, 2014
After a comprehensive study of Divorce and Remarriage I thought we should talk about how to avoid divorce in the first place. in this session we look at how we can rise to the challenge and Divorce-proof Your Marriage.
End Times 1: Do Not Be Deceived
Wednesday July 9, 2014
End Times has been a topic of interest and preoccupation for believers from the time Adam received the promise of a Savior. When pressed about this Jesus gives a detailed and clear picture of what to expect. He begins with a warning and injunction, “Do Not Be Deceived.”

End Times 3: There’s a Storm On The Horizon
Thursday July 17, 2014
In this, the third of the series on Jesus’ teach on the End Times, we look at the signs of the times that Jesus says will be the flags to let believers know that the clock is ticking and the end is at hand. In this session we look at the passage in Matthew 24:4-8 and see the pictures of famine, pestilence and earthquakes. We talk about how this should impact us and how we should respond when we see it happening.
Healed With A Word
Tuesday July 22, 2014
In this day of televangelism and theatrics, we need to be reminded that Jesus healed all who asked Him, and often He did little more than simply speak a word of healing to them. Healing isn’t a chance for men to show off, it’s a time when we let the Father show His love and how He keeps His promises.
What Do I Have To Do To Be Healed?
Tuesday July 22, 2014
Healing seems to some to be elusive, but is it? God often requires that we have a level of cooperation to see His promises manifest. In Deuteronomy 28 it is “If you diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.” In James it is “Confess your faults one to another and pray for one another that you may be healed.” Whatever it is He asks of you, you need only do it to find that He is always faithful to do His part.
Make Room For Daddy
Tuesday July 22, 2014
We can measure the value we place on people and things by the amount of room we give them in our lives. In this special Father’s Day message Pastor Pat looks at the importance of making room for the Father in our lives.
End Times 4: Persecution Will Come
Thursday July 24, 2014
As we continue our study of Jesus’ teaching on the End Times, we delve into what those days will look like to the believer. Jesus warns us of the reality that our lives will be touched by persecution, but then, we are following His example. It is encouraging to know that when He spoke of the power we receive in the Holy Ghost, these were the days He was referring to, and we need only follow the Spirit’s lead see God’s hand move on our behalf.
End Times 5
Thursday August 14, 2014
Jesus didn’t try and hide what was going to happen as time draws to a close. He gave us clear warnings and instruction.
To this point we have seen Jesus say:
- Do not be deceived
- Do not be troubled
- The world will go through great trouble and tumult
- You will be persecuted all over the World for My name’s sake
In this session we see the things says will usher in “the end.”
End Times 6: Abomination of Desolation
Wednesday September 17, 2014
We continue our look at what Jesus taught about the End Times looking particularly at how it relates to Daniel’s prophesy of the desecration of the End Times Temple.
End Times 7: The Elect’s Impact on the End Times
Wednesday September 17, 2014
In the Word we see the term “The Elect” and hear many different things taught about who they are. In this session we look specifically at what Jesus says about the Elect and their impact on End Times events.
End Times 8: Listen for the Shout
Wednesday September 17, 2014
The Church often seems preoccupied with the Second Coming as if they might miss it when He comes. For the true believer, we can confidently be about the business of the kingdom knowing that He will not arrive unannounced.
Sowing and Reaping: Do the Word!
Wednesday September 17, 2014
When we look at the topic of Sowing and Reaping, it is those who sow who can expect a harvest. Be a doer of the Word and sow, sow, sow!
Sowing and Reaping: Justice Reigns
Thursday September 18, 2014
God isn’t playing favorites, but rather, He gives everyone an equal chance to produce fruit. But, in order to produce fruit, we have to multiply what has been son in us by sowing it into others.
Sowing and Reaping: What Limits Your Fruit?
Thursday September 18, 2014
All it takes is a cursory glance around to see that not everyone lives to the same level in the Kingdom of God. Even in good ground we see that the see produces differently with different people. In this session we look at what it is that impacts our fruitfulness.
End Times: The Parable of the Ten Virgins
Sunday September 21, 2014
Often we hear things taught out of context, but this parable, “The Parable of the Ten Virgins”, was being used to illustrate the events of the end times. Here we look at what Jesus was saying and how it applies to the End Times timeline.
Sowing and Reaping: Just Dirt
Tuesday September 23, 2014
Sometimes we want to make our role bigger than it really is. Our job is to be good dirt. We receive the seed, feed it what it needs to grow and produce, and enjoy what it gives us in return. But, in the end, we are just dirt. Without the life giving breath of God, we have nothing to offer. Filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit we are a fruitful and productive force for the Kingdom of God.

Grow a Backbone
Thursday October 2, 2014
As a church, we are one part of the Body of Christ. We are not the head, no, that’s Jesus. The Head is the control center of the body, and we want Jesus to have something to work with. The Head communicates to the body and receives communication from the body via the neck. Together we’ll look at how the Ministry Gifts fill that role for the Local Church. Finally we talk about the frame upon which the body draws for its flexibility and strength, the backbone. It is time for members to step up into leadership and help us be the body God has called us to be.
End Times 11: Judgment
Thursday October 2, 2014
The final installment on what Jesus had to say in Matthew 24 and 25 about the End Times, “Judgment is coming.”
Communion Celebration
Tuesday October 7, 2014
Too often we take Communion and its meaning for granted. In this message Pastor Pat reminds us of the powerful meaning behind our regular celebration.

Thursday October 30, 2014
As we continue our discussion of what it takes to grow a healthy church, together we look at the foundation building blocks, not the least of which is our willingness to serve one another. Pastor Pat walks us through the simple yet profound premise that we, the Church, will be marked by our love for one another demonstrated both inside and outside the four walls of the church house.

We continue in our study of “Healing the Sick” with a look at our certain victory over all the works of the enemy. We are here to bring healing to the nations and set the captives free.
Taking the War to the Enemy
Tuesday December 9, 2014
The secret to success is often to be proactive and not give your enemy an opening. I think it is time we took the battle to the enemy and show him just how defeated he is. We are the Church, let’s rise up and act like it.
Healing the Sick: What About the Oil?
Thursday December 11, 2014
When praying for the sick, do we need the oil spoken of by James? We look at what the Word says about anointing and how we are to be those who bear the anointing and bring it to bear on those in need.

Examine Yourself
Friday April 3, 2015
A serious look at the celebration of Communion and what it means to the believer. Pastor Pat walks us through the foundational truth of this holy rite and what it means in the life of the believer.
Who Is Jesus To You?
Friday April 3, 2015
We are taught many things about who Jesus is, and it is important to have that knowledge, but how personal is this One, Jesus, to you? In the face of great adversity Peter declared, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” It was a declaration that could cost him his life, but there was no other answer he could give. His personal relationship with Jesus gave him a clear and uncompromised understanding of who Jesus is.
Power of Vision
Friday April 3, 2015
At the beginning of each year across the world pastors commonly set forth the “vision” for the year ahead. the air is abuzz with talk of vision and what it means for our future. In this session Pastor Pat talks about the “Power of Vision” and why it is key to our operation as the church.
Stand and Exalt Jesus
Friday April 3, 2015
Christ Victory Church is a worshiping church. We love to lift Jesus up in praise, adoration, and worship. But our worship must extend beyond the four walls of the church house.
We Would See Jesus
Friday April 3, 2015
God is seeking those who will pursue Him with passion and perseverance. Will you be one of those who do?
Benefits of Being Led
Friday April 3, 2015
The Bible tells us a lot about the benefits of being a Christian, but just because He made a promise doesn’t mean you will see the promise fulfilled. In this session we see how important it is to be led by the Spirit of God and what benefits we can expect as a result.
