What does it mean to be a true minister unto the Lord? In this sermon, Pastor Kevin Ortiz contrasts two women who anointed Jesus to show the difference between seeking a blessing and offering pure devotion. Learn how practicing praise, worship, prayer, and instant obedience aligns your heart to minister directly to God so He can touch lives through you.

What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do When you don't know what to do, get to Jesus. He is faithful, He hears your cry, and He knows what you need. Through faith, prayer, and worship, you can find His help, peace, and rest. Even when you feel weak, the Holy Spirit is there to help you. Humble yourself before God, seek Him, worship Him, and listen and obey. Trust in the Lord, because when you call on Him, He will hear you.

There a Cloud Over Your Life? In Exodus 33:8–17, we see how God’s presence led, protected, and guided the Israelites. Just as God was with them, the Holy Spirit leads us today. His presence sets us apart and helps us follow His purpose for our lives. Learn how to welcome His presence, follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and worship God alone. When God is with you, others will see His goodness through your life.

In this message, we learn that God can use ordinary people to do extraordinary things. We are like jars of clay carrying a great treasure, but the power and glory belong to God. Come hungry and ready to grow deeper in God, discover His plans, and experience His power and glory.

In this message, we learn that the joy of the Lord is our strength. Nehemiah 8 shows us how God brought joy and restoration to His people after a season of loss and rebuilding. Our happiness can change with what happens around us, but true joy is rooted in who we are in Christ. God’s love, Word, salvation, covenant, Spirit, and Kingdom are gifts that no one can take away. Even in difficult seasons, we can rejoice because God is faithful. His joy gives us strength and reminds us of all that He has restored.

The Gift of Faith In this message, we learn about the four types of faith and the special gift of faith given by the Holy Spirit. The gift of faith is given by God for a specific moment or purpose. Through Paul’s experience in Acts 27, we see how faith can bring courage, encouragement, and help to others. Learn how to position yourself to hear God, trust His Word, and be used by Him.

What is a man of faith? In this message, learn what faith is and how to live by it. Faith helps us trust God, believe His Word, and follow His promises even when we cannot see the answer.Discover the nine things that make a man of faith. Learn how to walk close to God, trust in His power, walk in love, and leave a good legacy.

What are you believing God for? In this powerful message, “Ask and You Will Receive,” we are reminded that God wants us to bring our requests before Him with faith, confidence, and thanksgiving.Jesus said in Mark 11:23–24 that when we pray, we must believe and not doubt. God invites us to make our petitions known to Him, trusting that He is our Provider, Healer, Guide, and Helper.

JUST SHOW UP: VICTORY BELONGS TO THE LORDWhat do you do when you find yourself trapped between the Red Sea and the enemy coming after you? Sometimes the greatest instruction God gives us is simple: Just show up. Don’t quit. Stand in faith and trust Him.In Exodus 14, Israel found themselves facing an impossible situation. Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord,” because the Lord will fight for you. God had already made a way, even when they could not see one.This message reminds us that the battles we face are real, but victory belongs to the Lord. Whether you are fighting to provide for your family, raise your children, build your future, serve in ministry, overcome adversity, or simply keep moving forward, God has called you to stand in faith.Recorded on 08.30.2026

What does it mean to have the mind of Christ? In 1 Corinthians 2:12–16, Paul teaches that as believers, we have received the Spirit of God so that we can know the things God has freely given us. While the natural mind cannot understand the things of God, the believer has been given access to God’s wisdom and truth through the Holy Spirit: “We have the mind of Christ.” Being born again gives us a new heart and changes the direction of our lives, but our minds must continually be renewed by the Word of God. The mind is the decision center—it receives thoughts, the heart filters them, and our decisions ultimately determine our actions. Through God’s Word and the Holy Spirit, we can learn to recognize thoughts that are contrary to God’s will and bring them into obedience to Christ. Discover how renewing your mind, filling your heart with God’s Word, and walking in the Spirit can help you live with the Mind of Christ and experience the peace, freedom, healing, and perfect will of God for your life.

Everything we need can be found in the presence of the Lord. We don’t need everything—we need Him. Where God is, His presence is there, and in His presence we find what our hearts truly need. In this powerful message from John 10:1-10, we learn that Jesus is the Gate—the only way to the Father and the way back into the presence of God. Through Jesus, we are given access to the presence of God and the abundant life He desires for us. From the Garden of Eden, to the tabernacle, to the temple, to Jesus Christ, and now to every believer in Christ, we see God's desire to dwell with His people. His presence is not distant; God desires to make His home among us. Psalm 16:11 reminds us that in His presence there is fullness of joy. Throughout Scripture, we discover that the presence of God brings joy, peace, answers, strength, protection, healing, and love. The question is not whether God’s presence is available—the question is whether we will enter in and pursue Him

Drawing from Mark 4:26–29, this message reveals that your life is a seed, and where you choose to sow determines where you will grow. Whether it's your walk with God, your family, your relationships, your finances, your health, or your mind, every investment made in faith has the potential to produce a lasting harvest.Be challenged to live intentionally, invest in what matters most, and trust God to bring increase in every area of your life. As you sow according to His Word, expect Him to produce a harvest in His perfect timing.The 7 Lands to Sow Into:Your relationship with GodYour familyThe GospelYour relationshipsFinancial investmentsYour healthYour mind

Fear has no place where faith takes hold. In this powerful message, Only Believe, discover how faith opens the door for God to move in every area of your life. Looking at the contrast between Jesus' hometown of Nazareth and the miracles that followed in Galilee, we see that unbelief limits what people receive, while belief positions us to experience God's power.Through Scriptures such as Matthew 13, Matthew 15, Mark 5, Mark 9, John 11, and Acts 16, this message reminds us that healing, salvation, deliverance, answered prayer, and the glory of God are all connected to believing His Word. Be encouraged by powerful testimonies of God's faithfulness and be reminded of Jesus' words: "Do not be afraid; only believe."No matter what challenge you're facing today, your miracle may be closer than you think. Choose faith over fear, stand on God's promises, and believe that with God all things are possible.Recorded on 08.02.2026

What is the Gospel of the Kingdom, and why is it the hope the world desperately needs?In this powerful message, Pastor Kevin Ortiz teaches that the Gospel is more than a message of salvation—it is the power of God to transform lives, heal the broken, restore families, and reconcile people back to the Father through Jesus Christ. Beginning in Matthew 4, we see that Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, taught the Word of God, and healed every kind of sickness and disease. That same mission continues today.Pastor Kevin also shares the renewed mission of Faith Pleases God Church: To Preach the Gospel, Teach the Word, and Heal the Broken. Through personal testimony from his first mission trip to India, you'll be encouraged to step out in faith, trust God's leading, and carry the Gospel wherever He sends you.No matter your past, your failures, or your circumstances, Jesus has made a way for you to come back to the Father. His love transforms hearts, breaks the power of sin, and gives every believer a purpose to share the Good News with the world.

What does it truly mean to be a man or woman of faith? In this powerful message from Luke 8, Pastor Kevin teaches that faith is not measured by the size of the storm but by our confidence in God. When Jesus calmed the storm, His only question to the disciples was, "Where is your faith?" That same question challenges every believer today.Discover the characteristics of a person of faith: someone who believes God's Word without compromise, walks in continual fellowship with the Holy Spirit, serves others with humility, lives with God's vision and purpose, trusts in the power of God, and allows faith to work through love. Through biblical teaching and inspiring testimonies of God's miraculous provision and healing, this message will encourage you to rise above fear, stand firm in faith, and fulfill the calling God has placed on your life.No matter what storm you're facing, God has equipped you to walk in victory. He is looking for men and women who will trust Him completely and become vessels of His power, love, and glory in the earth.
