"Guard the Gates" | Part 4 "The Heart of the Matter"

Every desire in your life… literally every. single. one… flows from one place —your heart. - Yet Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” - That’s why Ezekiel 36:26 says, “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.” - This is literally what being “born again” is… or as my dad would always say, that’s when God changes your “want to” Hello, I’m Pastor Daniel Wright of HOWC, and I would like to invite you to our services for the final installment of our series, “Guard the Gates,” we’re focusing on the Heart Gate—the control center of your life, and it’s titled, “The Heart of the Matter” Because what gets into your heart… will come out in your words, and your choices, which in turn, affects your direction. Matthew 12:34 says, “…for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” So Lord, according to Psalm 51:10, “Create in US a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within.”

"Guard the Gates" | Part 3 - "The Weight of our Words"

“I’m rubber and you’re glue. Whatever you say, bounces off of me, and sticks to you.” “Sticks and Stones may ‘break my bones,’ but words will never hurt me.” I’m sure we remember those sayings as kids. Though taught that with good intentions, those sayings couldn’t be further from the truth. - Your words are not mere enunciations with varying degrees of decibels,… They are seeds. They are swords. They are life, and sometimes, they are death. - They plant,  they cut, they uplift, and also teardown. Every word you speak is planting something—life or death, blessings or curses. In Part 3 of our series “Guard the Gates,” we’re talking about the Mouth Gate—because what comes out of your mouth, reveals what’s in your heart … and shapes what’s ahead of you.  - You yourself, listening to me right now, just maybe.. might be living in unfortunate circumstances of this present time that were constructed and planted by words that were spoken to you in the past. This Sunday we will be confronting this very issue of ‘the weapons of our words’, …or… ‘affirming’ the ‘sweetness of our speech.’ - We will corporately and unilaterally surrender our tongue to God. Together, we will learn how to align our words with the will of God, and begin speaking life over ourselves, others, and yes, even our enemies.

Job's Reward

Did God choose Job for great trials, or for great reward? Job got back double what he lost and more. Beyond the physical reward, his story was heard and continue to help people across untold dispensations of time. He may not have known "why" he went through what he did, but he knew "who" was leading him through it and would bring justice for it in the end. God is just, good, and so very faithful to us. Trust in His goodness. If its not good yet, He's no done. The Best is Yet to Come!

"Guard the Gates" | Part 2 - "Watch What You Watch"

Did you know that many of the battles you’re fighting started with something you saw? Visuals can have a huge impact on perception, and there after, reception. Your eyes are powerful. What we consistently look at will eventually begin to shape what we desire… and ultimately, who we become. In Part 2 of our series “Guard the Gates,” we’re diving into the Eye Gate because not everything deserves your attention. The enemy doesn’t always start with action…. He starts with attraction. Take note of very beginning: Genesis. The Garden of Eden. The Bible tells us, “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” You see fall of man didn’t start with the bite it started with the stare. We learn how to guard our vision, fix our focus, and set our eyes on what leads to life. Open our Eyes Lord, to see YOU, that we might be blinded to everything else.

"Guard the Gates" | Part 1 - "Listening to What You Hear"

Have you ever stopped to think about the things in our lives that have the greatest impact that shapes our faith? And crucially, what are the things in our lives that work against our faith?  The truth is—what we allow in our lives can drastically dictate how we feel, what we believe and how we live. The things we listen to are no exception. Every voice we allow in our lives are planting something… faith or fear, truth or deception.  This is beginning a new series called, “Guard the Gates,” with part 1 starting with the Ear Gate, “Listening to What You Hear”…because what gets into our spirit through, what, or who, we listen to, will eventually shape our direction.  If the enemy can influence what we hear… he can influence how we live. Let us learn how to discern the right voices, shut out the wrong ones, and fine-tune what God is wanting us to hear!

"Faithfully Trusting, and Trusting in His Faithfulness" | Part 3 - The Weight of Waiting

What do we do when God gives us a promise… but then, makes us wait? Specifically… MUCH longer we’re comfortable with?
When the doors we want doesn’t open… When everything in your life feels like it’s on a perpetual pause? Because if we’re being honest—waiting is one of the hardest parts of walking with God.  You see we live in a culture where waiting is discarded for the convenience of “NOW”.  From Fast food, to cell phones for the immediate connection, to the click of a mouse sending a message to someone around the world in literal seconds. Today, we do not value waiting… we discard it. However, the Bible gives us clear examples of “heavy” seasons of waiting … that they aren’t wasted. They’re invested.  What if, in the silence… God is not only teaching your patience and faith, but also strengthening you?  What if, in the delay… He’s preparing something much greater than you ever imagined?  We’re diving into powerful Biblical examples—men and women who had to wait… Abraham… Joseph… David… Hannah… All faced the trial of time… But they also experienced the rewards of it. And here’s the truth: He may not resolve exactly when we want Him to… or when we believe He “needs to,” but He is ALWAYS on time.

"Faithfully Trusting, & Trusting in His Faithfulness" | Part 2 "The Faith in the Fire"

Temptations and Trials… We all face them. As Christians, much more than most in my opinion… But What if the fire you’re in… isn’t meant to destroy your faith in God—but actually to prove it? “Faith Under Fire” — part 2 of our new series: “Faithfully Trusting… & Trusting in His Faithfulness.” In life, we all face moments where our faith is tested… Seasons where trusting God isn’t easy… Times where the waiting feels heavy, and the process feels painful. But what if those very moments are where God is doing His greatest work? The Bible reminds us in 1 Peter chapter 1, that the trial of our faith though tested by fire—is more precious than gold. And in those trials, God is not absent… He is proving, refining, and strengthening what He has placed within you. This message will challenge you to understand the difference between faith and trust… To embrace the patience that comes through testing… And to recognize that every trial carries an eternal purpose and reward. If you’ve ever wondered, “God, where are You in this?”—this message is for you.

"Faithfully Trusting, & Trusting in His Faithfulness" | Part 1 "The Fruitfulness in FaithFulness"

Exhaustion. We’ve all felt it. And honestly, we’re all tired of it. But what if the reason we’re exhausted… is because we’re trying to carry the things that God never asked us to hold? We live in a world that glorifies constant motion… Always doing. Always striving. Always pushing. But what if true strength… is found in knowing when to stop? In Jeremiah 17, God gives us a powerful picture— One life, dry and empty…Another, like a tree planted by the waters…Strong. Steady. Fruitful. What made the difference? Trust. Not just in what God CAN do… But in WHO He is. Because sometimes the greatest act of faith… is not working harder— …it’s resting in Him. This Sunday, we begin a new series: “Faithfully Trusting, & Trusting in His Faithfulness” Part 1: “Fruitfulness in Faithfulness” We’re going to discover how real FAITH produces real FRUIT— And why honoring God, even in rest, positions your life for His provision. Because when you simply trust in the Lord… you won’t just survive— you’ll flourish.

"The Call of Man Unto Godly Garments" Part 3 "The Sound of Sanctification"

In the priestly garments described in Exodus 28, God designed something remarkable. Along the hem of the High Priest’s robe were golden bells and pomegranates — sound and fruit working together. Because in God’s kingdom, life is not meant to be silent.
The bells rang as the priest ministered, declaring that he was alive and serving before the Lord. And beside each bell was a pomegranate — a symbol of fruitfulness. A powerful reminder that true ministry must have both: a voice that proclaims… and a life that produces fruit. Explore the meaning behind the blue robe of heavenly ministry, the golden plate engraved “Holiness to the Lord,” and the linen garments that speak of righteousness — Because when a life is truly consecrated to God… it will make a sound the world cannot ignore. Discover what it means to live a life that truly carries the sound of sanctification. Remembering that before there is glory shown outwardly, there must first be holiness planted inwardly.

The Call for Man unto Godly Garments - Part 2 The Burden of Bearing

Outfits, clothes, attire, uniforms… Interestingly enough, the choice of clothes we wear are often a reflection of how we feel in terms of priority-labelling in the environment in-which we are residing.  Example:  What I wear to Walmart, is very likely not what I would wear to my nephew’s graduation ceremony.  In the sense of our spiritual clothes, or honestly, sometimes naturally speaking, what are we “wearing” in the presence of God? How does our actions reflect our priorities when it comes to our relationship with Jesus?  In this message, we step into the priestly garments of Aaron and discover something deeper than fabric and jewels — we discover what it means to be carried by divine strength and held close to the heart of God.  The shoulder stones were engraved with the names of the tribes — not written in chalk… but engraved in permanence.
The breastplate held twelve unique stones — each tribe different, yet all resting over the priest’s heart.
Strength on the shoulders.  Love over the heart.  Light and perfection guiding from within.  This is not just a lesson about ancient garments.  It is a revelation of Christ.  You are not carried by your strength — you are carried by His  You are not forgotten — your name is engraved.
You are not unloved — you are held over His heart.  And the question remains:  Are you clothed in what God has provided… or standing without the garment?  Come expecting revelation.  Come ready to examine what you are wearing.  Come and discover the beauty of being borne upon His shoulders and carried upon His heart.

"The Call of Man unto Godly Garments - Part 1 'The Calling of Consecration'"

Before God clothes,… He calls. Much like a baby, that after they are born, he or she is placed in swaddling clothes. The 28th chapter of Exodus doesn’t begin with required garments. It begins with a summons. “Take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother… that he may minister unto Me.” Aaron didn’t campaign for it. He didn’t earn it. He was called. And with that calling came consecration. Set apart. Separated. Marked for holy purpose. Before the ephod… Before the breastplate… Before the gold and the beauty… There was surrender. Because you cannot wear what is holy while living what is common. God called Aaron out from among the people to stand before Him. And the question for us is simple: Has God called you — but you’ve resisted consecration? This week, we open Exodus 28:1–5 and discover that before there is glory, there must be holiness. Before there is beauty, there must be obedience. Before there is ministry, there must be consecration. The Call is cast, but are you consecrated? For many are called, but few are chosen.

WANTED: Dead AND Alive | Part 3 - Death is Only a Dream

“Death is final… It is powerful… It is unavoidable…. Or is it?
What if physical death for the believer isn’t actually what we’ve been taught?
When Jesus spoke of Lazarus after he was gone and buried, he spoke of him saying, ‘Our friend Lazarus sleepeth.’
Often times you’ll find that scripture does not present death for the child of God in finality —
but as rest… waiting… and awakening.
We discover why the Bible calls death, “sleep,”
and why resurrection — not death — is the Christian’s true hope.

"WANTED: Dead AND Alive | Part 2 - Death Has No Hold!"

Oh death where's thy sting? Oh grave where's thy victory? You may not realize this, but when the Apostle Paul wrote these words, he was actually taunting death or as we might say today, he was trolling it.
 
“Oh death, where's your sting? Oh grave, where's your victory?”
 
We continue our powerful series Wanted: Dead and Alive, Part Two: Death Has No Hold.
 
If we're going to be honest, death can be terrifying. See, as a funeral assistant myself, I see that fear all the time—its finality, certainty, its weight. But the scripture declares something absolutely radical. The Bible actually personifies death and declares it as our enemy and of course Jesus Christ as its conqueror. By becoming man, Jesus Christ redeems man and by experiencing death himself, he then defeats it. You see, apart from Christ, death did have legal access to us, but because of the payment of death of Jesus Christ on the cross, Jesus now holds the keys. So in Christ, we have that authority. The grave has lost all of its access and fear no longer has a rightful place in the heart of a believer. For if we believe that he died and rose again, we believe also that we shall be raised up with him in newness of life. Death might affect the body, but in Christ, it cannot affect the soul. This week we're looking at the victory of Christ over death and why the Christian should no longer have any bondage to it.  Let us be reminded and encouraged that death is not the end, but is actually the beginning.

What Does the Bible Say About Boarders & Foreigners?

A timely and much needed look at what the Bible says, God’s stand is on national boarders and how we, as believers, should handle foreigners. This is an important topic to understand in our current political climate so that we can align ourselves with the word and wisdom of God and not be deceive by the enemy into standing against God, unknowingly. The devil is very cunning, but God’s word always reveals the truth to us. 

How to Get Your Prayers Answered

Why do some people's prayers seem to move heaven and earth? Do they know something about how to get their prayers heard? Well, yes. The Bible tell us exactly what we need to do, have powerful effective prayers that God hears and responds too.

WANTED: Dead AND Alive | Part 1 - Dead to the World

Sermon Promo Link:
https://youtu.be/TrgjysDbTPw
Sermon Video Link:
https://youtu.be/7monWQpQX7M
The Bible. It speaks of the Gospel of Jesus Christ who offers “ETERNAL LIFE” through free the gift of salvation by His grace, through faith in Him!  It says that He came to give us life, and life MORE ABUNDANTLY!  But what exactly is the process of that gift of life to the believer who walks that path?
 
Ironically, the answer is actually death.  The Bible makes this ___ revelation very clear when it says, “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:3-4)
 
So death, in essence, is what God uses to bring us to life - being Dead to sin, Dead to the world, and Dead to the selfish desires.
The word of God, explicitly speaks of this over-arching theme, very simply when it says,
“For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3)
 
So come and experience the truest nature of our new life in Christ found only through the death of Self.  For resurrection cannot be experienced unless having already gone… to the cross.

In Christ Alone | Part 3: Plan & Purpose

The Age old Question:  What is the Meaning or Purpose of Life?  So many have contemplated this, and have also attempted to answer.  For Me?  All truth comes from the scriptures of the Bible, and funny enough, it actually tells us very Directly in Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Biblical Truths:  No one is an accident. Not a single person is created without purpose. No matter what you may think, your life has valuable meaning; in fact, every decision we make has eternal consequences. So, In Christ, purpose is not a mystery — it is a promise. Hope is not fragile — it is anchored in resurrection. Victory is not uncertain — In Christ, God always ensures it. We are called with a high calling, secure in an eternal purpose, and destined to share in His glory — especially the day when the dead in Christ shall rise first. We Uncover our God-given purpose, Renew our unshakeable hope, and Celebrate our promised future for every believer who is …in Christ.

Word for 2026: Faith Resurrected

A word of hope and instruction for the coming year. We stand on the brink of great opportunity to show the power of God to the hopeless, but only is we stand fast and don't fall to hopelessness ourselves. Don't dwell on the trial, look through to the victory, elevation, and reward waiting on the other side of it. Don't be shaken, don't quit, don't loose faith or focus! This is a moment of greatness and you don't want to miss it. The storms and shakings will be loud and boisterous, but the power that God has stored up for this hour is more than sufficient. Ask and believe it. 

As in the Days of Noah

The Bible gives us a clear warning that has been all but forgotten by the world, and even most churches. He tells us what will be happening in the world when He returns, but to understand what he says you have to go back to what happened in the beginning to know what is coming. Truth really is stranger than fictions. From fallen angels, to Giants, to Demons, to AI and the Mark of the Beast System. The truth is not hidden. It's all laid out in the pages of Scripture from Genesis to Revelations. This timely lesson gives us an overview of all of it and points us where to look for a more in depth understanding.

Teaching Titus - The Uncommon Faith | Part 3

What does it really look like to live out an uncommon faith in a world that has grown comfortable with compromise? In this week’s message, “Teaching Titus: The Uncommon Faith – Part 2: Living It Out,” we journey deep into Titus chapter 2, where the Apostle Paul calls every believer—young and old, men and women, leaders and servants—to embody a faith that transforms daily life. This isn’t just doctrine on paper; it’s truth in motion. Through Paul’s instructions to Titus, we see that sound doctrine always produces godly behavior. From the example of older men and women, to the devotion of young families, to the integrity of workers, Scripture paints a picture of a church whose lifestyle honors the gospel in every detail. And at the heart of it all is the grace of God—grace that not only saves us, but teaches us, shapes us, and empowers us to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. This message calls us back to the beauty of holiness, the urgency of spiritual integrity, and the hope of Christ’s glorious appearing. It challenges every believer to become a “peculiar people”—set apart, purified, and zealous for good works. Let’s learn what it truly means to live out an uncommon faith. This is more than a sermon… it’s a call to action. A call to transformation. A call to reflect the character of Christ in every part of our lives.
