There’s Something More: it’s time for us to grow up!
The message was clear: there is something more—but it requires maturity. Not just attending church, but becoming the kind of believer who can actually carry what we keep praying for. Hebrews 5-6 hit heavy: by now we should be teachers, but many are still living on spiritual milk. Growth means leaving the basics and pressing forward into maturity (Hebrews 5:12-14; Hebrews 6:1-2). The goal isn’t to stay in cycles of the same elementary lessons; it’s to become spiritually trained, stable, and discerning. One thing that stood out was the emphasis on culture. Culture isn’t just vibes or routines; culture is what you’re building, growing, and reproducing. It’s what your environment produces naturally. And according to Acts, the early church didn’t just have services… they had a culture. A spiritual atmosphere that formed a people. Acts shows us the culture of the church wasn’t emotional moments—it was a supernatural lifestyle: pray → worship → wait. Waiting produces purification, and purification produces power (Acts 1–2). The sermon broke down different spiritual cultures: • Worship Culture Worship isn’t a style, it’s alignment. It teaches the heart to submit and keeps the flesh from becoming the leader (John 4:23-24). • Prophetic Culture (Numbers 11:29) God desires His people to hear Him and speak what He’s saying. Prophetic culture is about sensitivity to the Spirit—not just gifting, but obedience. • Deliverance Culture A prophetic culture must also be a deliverance culture because freedom requires discipline. Deliverance isn’t a one-time event, it’s maintained through holiness, accountability, and guarding gates. Even conversations can become portals—what we tolerate spiritually can enter through what we entertain verbally (Proverbs 4:23; Matthew 12:34). • Supernatural (Acts) Culture The book of Acts wasn’t built on hype—it was built on power, purity, and unity. Miracles weren’t rare… they were normal (Acts 2:42-47; Acts 5:15). • Glory Culture Glory can’t be rushed. The glory of God rests where there is sacrifice and consecration. It’s not about being the main character—it’s about being a clean altar (2 Chronicles 5:13-14; Romans 12:1).
