Wilderness, Testing & Promotion | Sunday, May 4th, 2025

In life and faith, there are seasons that test us, refine us, and ultimately promote us to new levels of spiritual authority and maturity. This transformative process is often painful, marked by hardship and wrestling, but it is essential for us to become the people God created us to be. Drawing from deep personal experience and biblical wisdom, this message explores the wilderness of testing, the power of the cross, and the path to promotion in God's kingdom.

The Bible says to “desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1). Why? Because prophecy builds up, speaks truth in love, and reveals the heart of God to both believers and unbelievers. In week 2 of our SuperNormalNatural series, we explore why prophecy is called “the greatest gift” and how it empowers the Church to move in love, truth, and supernatural clarity.

God is still speaking—and He wants to speak through you.

🔹 Learn how prophecy edifies, exhorts, and comforts.
🔹 Understand how the prophetic draws unbelievers to Christ.
🔹 Discover how to live a lifestyle that hears and responds to God's voice daily.
🔹 Be challenged to pursue both the Logos (written word) and Rhema (spoken word).
🔹 See how prophecy, rooted in love, brings life—not confusion or fear.

This is more than a message—it’s a call to step into your role as God’s mouthpiece in a world that desperately needs His voice.

🕊️ Ready to hear God? Ready to speak what He’s saying?
Let’s live the prophetic lifestyle.

🧠 What’s the connection between spiritual wounds and physical sickness?
🔥 How do we contend for healing while trusting God's timing and sovereignty?

Scripture teaches us to glorify God in both body and spirit—and to keep believing for breakthrough even when healing doesn’t come how or when we expect it. This message will stir your faith, renew your hope, and remind you that perfect love still heals.

🎙️ Episode Title: Learn to Discern – Hearing God Clearly in a Noisy World

🗓️ Message Date: July 6, 2025

How do you know if a voice, decision, or “feeling” is truly from God? What does it mean to discern spiritually, and how can we develop that gift in today’s culture of noise, confusion, and half-truths?

In this powerful and practical message from the SuperNormalNatural Summer Series, we explore what the Bible calls the gift of discernment—a Spirit-empowered ability to distinguish truth from error, the holy from the counterfeit, and God's leading from the world's noise.

Drawing from Hebrews 5, 1 Corinthians 2, Isaiah 11, and the example of Jesus Himself, this episode dives deep into:

What true discernment is (and what it’s not)
Why maturity in the Word sharpens your spiritual senses
How to practice discernment daily with the help of the Holy Spirit
The difference between good judgment and judgmentalism
How Jesus and Paul used discernment for supernatural breakthroughs

Whether you're new to faith or growing deeper in spiritual gifts, this message will help you “learn to discern”—and live more boldly, wisely, and Spirit-led.

Learn how to identify spiritual strongholds, walk in your authority as a believer, and embrace the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. This message is personal, practical, and rooted in Scripture—packed with insight on demonic oppression, the orphan spirit, and the supernatural freedom available through the blood of Jesus.

In this powerful message titled “Subverting Expectations,” we are reminded that God rarely moves how we expect—but always moves with purpose. 

Drawing from recent encounters in the “Super Normal Natural” series at Rock City Church, Pastor Jordan Deal explores the tension between our desire for control and God's call to surrender. True Lordship requires yielding every area of life to Him—our plans, timing, desires, even our understanding of leadership. God often hides His glory in places we least expect: in our pain, in the ordinary, and in people we might overlook—including children. Through scriptural examples like Elijah’s encounter with the still small voice and Jesus’ transfiguration, we see that God intentionally subverts expectations to draw us closer, deepen our faith, and form us into vessels of glory. 

This sermon calls for repentance—not from sin alone—but from our rigid expectations of how God should work. Ultimately, we’re invited to live a life fully yielded to Christ, trusting that His unexpected ways are far better than anything we could imagine.

Let Jesus interrupt your expectations—and meet you right where you least expect Him.
