War of The Seeds [Part 6]
by Pastor Pete Cropsey

12.10.23 First Love Church Costa Mesa
Topics: Shame, honor, repentance, good and evil.

One of the final in the series. This is such a foundational and important part of the Bible. Pastor Pete shares why he felt called to teach this series; in short, because it contains directly applicable learnings you can use given state of today's world / modern culture. What is happening today in the world, of course, exactly as God tells us about in the Bible. 

War of The Seeds - A Battle For The Heart of Man [Part 5]
by Pastor Ben Hooker

12.6.23 First Love Church Costa Mesa
Topics: The heart, God's love, Jesus knocking, Satan's lack of power

Satan is merely a fallen angel, he only has power over the air, not the earth, not you, not me, not God -- and though he prowls around LIKE a lion (not an actual lion, because God The Father is the ultimate Lion) satan's power is limited and he will be crushed completely when Jesus returns, and how in the meantime, we can successfully fight this enemy.

War of The Seeds [Part 3a]
by Pastor Pete Cropsey

11.12.23 First Love Church Costa Mesa
Topics: Seed of Mary, Cain and Abel, sin, lies, truth, Genisis, surrender, deception, forgiveness.

Are you Cain or Abel? Cursed or blessed? The choice is yours. This is another powerful sermon in this series by Pastor Pete detailing exactly how our world became the demonic sh*t show that it is today and what is coming in the future. And how much God loves the world. And his much Jesus loves you. And how the devil and his demons deceived Adam and Eve, and devices us today using the same two step lie. We are in a spiritual war. The war is real. Ignore it at your peril. You are called to Jesus and to fight in this spiritual war, or with instruments of the flesh, but spiritual weapons. Ephesians 6:12 (For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.) tells us this — and Pastor Pete and Ben both expand on the why, how, what of this war and how we in Jesus will win. But the good news is…. Because Jesus… The win against evil is guaranteed! …but your soul being on the winning team is not guaranteed and is your choice. Be on the winning team. And stay on it by following Jesus’ commands because he says He will spit out the lukewarm Christians and those even who do great works but who he doesn’t know because they didn’t let Him truly rule their life as Lord. You in? Ready to fully surrender? Watch this. Watch the whole series. Let’s gooooo Jesus! He loves you! Especially if you are in sin, and he asks you to change direction and leave your sin behind and be a reborn person into a new person — and keep doing that until you are truly changed and new and reborn! Or stay selfish and worldly and doomed. Your choice. 

War of The Seeds [Part 3]
by Pastor Ben Hooker

11.8.23 First Love Church Costa Mesa
Topics: Adam and Eve, Man and Woman, Satan, Lies, Truth, Genisis, good and evil, deception, the world.

POWERFUL. GNARLY. EPIC. GOD IS GREAT. This is MEATY. Ain't no milk message. Can you handle the truth? This is WHATS UP.

​

Did God really say? That's the title of this sermon, part three, in The War of Seeds series. 

​

The war started in the Garden of Eden with Adam, Eve, and the deceiver, Satan -- around a key moment where Satan cast doubt into Eve's mind. From that seed of doubt, a great lie was grown and changed the world into what we know it today -- a fallen world where we are all born with sin and are at war with evil, or working for evil. 

​

If you aren't against evil, you are for it. That is what the Bible says. It is that simple. 

 

This series in its entirety includes practical tools and crucial perspectives on the state of the world, how to protect yourself and your family from the enemy, and serve God well.

 

Thank you Jesus for this message and these Pastors.

 

This is important.

 

Share it after you watch it, with people whose souls you care about (which really should be everyone you know). Love you! And... Be sure to watch part one and two, posted on this page, below. 

War of The Seeds [Part 2]
by Pastor Pete Cropsey

11.5.23 First Love Church Costa Mesa
Topics: Adam and Eve, Satan, Lies, Truth, Genisis, good and evil, deception, the world.

I don't even know what to say. This is crucial information for you and your family in the times we live in -- times we are being deceived every day by the enemy. Get this and get real truth and love -- God's truth and love. Jesus.

 

This is the second sermon in a new series at First Love Church.

 

Be sure to watch Part 1, on this page, and the upcoming Part 3 by Pastor Ben. God bless! Rejoice!

The War We Fight
by Pastor Pete Cropsey
11.2.23 at First Love Church Costa Mesa
Topics: Good and evil, true Jesus, tools to fight

Epic sermon that teaches us why good and evil exist, how we blow it with breaking out covenant with God, how to remedy that, and what spiritual tools we need to fight the war we are in -- Ephesians 6:12 style. Equip yourself! 

War of The Seeds [Part 1]
by Pastor Pete Cropsey

10.30.23 First Love Church Costa Mesa
Topics: Genisis, good and evil, deception, the world

The first sermon in a new series, and wow, this is powerful. If you like this sermon, here click here to watch the first service version of this sermon -- which is almost a new sermon in itself because Pastor Pete was following in The Spirit so it has some messages in it that the first service (below) doesn't have. Both are GREAT and we highly recommend watching both.

What's That In Your Eye
by Pastor Ben Hooker

10.11.23 First Love Church Costa Mesa
Topics: Judgement, helping others, forgiveness

Ever think "I've got this" and don't need God in a decision or season of your life? This sermon keeps it real and reminds us why God is not just a nice-to-have but a need-to-have. And, gotta say... James is such a rad apostle -- and if you are going to pick up your Bible for the first time in a while, or just want a great book to read, try James, because it covers so much of the ore Christian topics such as judgement, forgiveness, being of the world aka being friends with the world, the power of prayer, sobriety, spiritual battles, and so many more. 

In Our Weakness He is strong
By Pastor Ben Hooker
8.16.23 at First Love Church Costa Mesa
Topics: Suffering, grace, the power of Jesus

 

A sermon in a series on the book of James going deep into some very important topics such as why we suffer, faith not works, and surrendering our suffering and challenges to God -- so He can go before us and fight for us.
