In this powerful continuation of the Waiting Well series, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez delivers a prophetic declaration for every believer in a holding pattern: "You’re not just waiting—God is working."
This episode reveals the spiritual dynamics at play when we choose to wait in faith. Pastor Sam explores:
The prophetic weight of waiting in the right place

The role of spiritual order before divine overflow
How heaven deploys angels during your waiting season
And why celebrating others' breakthroughs is the key to unlocking your own
Waiting is never meant to be lonely. It is an invitation to deeper faith, stronger community, and spiritual alignment. When you wait well, you don't just survive the season—you soar through it with renewed strength and divine clarity.
This is your reminder: Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. Get ready—your breakthrough is closer than you think.

Waiting Well

In this compelling message, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez unpacks the powerful truth that waiting well is often the first step toward your breakthrough. Anchored in Isaiah 60:1—“Arise, shine, for your light has come”—this episode is a prophetic call to rise from spiritual fatigue, emotional delays, and personal rubble, and step into the radiant glory already prepared for you.
You’ll be challenged to:
See “waiting” not as punishment, but as preparation
Recognize that your circumstances don’t need to be perfect for God to shine through you
Shift your posture from desperation to expectation
Declare God’s promises with bold faith—even in the dark
God’s glory on your life will be:
✅ Visible — Others will see His hand on you
✅ Undeniable — No one will be able to question it
✅ Unstoppable — Nothing will hold it back
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, unseen, or on the edge of giving up. You already have what you need. Now is the time to rise, obey, and let the light of Christ shine through you.

I’m Not Going Anywhere Without the Promise.

In this powerful opening message of a new sermon series, Pastor Sam Rodriguez declares a prophetic word rooted in Acts 1:4 — “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift He promised.”
With passion and clarity, Pastor Sam unpacks the post-resurrection instruction from Jesus, reminding us that the full work of Christ isn't complete at the cross or the empty tomb—but culminates in the Upper Room, where the Holy Spirit was poured out.
🔥 Main Message:
"I’m not going anywhere without the promise."
This sermon challenges believers not to settle for partial Christianity. Too many stop at the resurrection, but Pentecost is the power that activates everything Jesus paid for. In the Upper Room, He didn’t just prove or redeem—He released and commissioned.
💥 Key Highlights:
Cross: He redeemed us
Tomb: He resurrected us
Upper Room: He released us
The Holy Spirit is not a denominational feature—He is the full expression of the promise.
If you're filled with the Holy Spirit, you are no longer who or where you used to be.

The Emmaus Paradox

In this powerful episode, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez explores The Emmaus Paradox — the profound truth that God often uses our moments of doubt, confusion, and discouragement as opportunities for spiritual growth and deeper revelation. Reflecting on the journey to Emmaus, Pastor Sam highlights how Jesus met the disillusioned disciples right where they were, patiently walking with them and using Scripture to open their eyes to the bigger picture.
This message uncovers three ways God continues to guide us today: meeting us in our struggles, walking with us through uncertainty, and revealing truth through His Word. Pastor Sam reminds us that there’s a world of difference between knowing about Jesus and truly encountering Him. The disciples’ eyes were opened during communion — a powerful moment that teaches us how focusing on Christ’s finished work can bring clarity even in our darkest seasons.
You’ll be challenged to reflect on your own spiritual direction, encouraged to trust God’s process even when you don’t understand it, and reminded that faith isn’t about perfect vision — it’s about trusting the One who walks with you.

The Cross and the Empty Tomb: God’s Continuum of Grace

On this unforgettable Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez delivers a passionate and Spirit-filled message that unveils the inseparable power of the cross and the empty tomb. In The Cross and the Empty Tomb: God’s Continuum of Grace, we’re reminded that Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday are not disconnected events—but a divine continuum of redemption, restoration, and resurrection.
Through powerful declarations, heartfelt prayer, and compelling biblical truth, Pastor Sam calls us to live fully in the freedom Jesus purchased—freedom from sin, bondage, fear, and shame. He urges us not to leave behind the blessings that Christ paid for, but to receive salvation, healing, deliverance, and purpose in full.
If you’re walking through a Friday season of pain or silence, this episode reminds you: Sunday always comes. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. So praise like the tomb is empty, and live like you’ve been set free—because you have.
This message is more than a sermon. It’s an invitation to step into the fullness of God’s grace, power, and destiny for your life.

The History of Praise: From the Red Sea to the Riding King

Before temples rose or kings ruled—there was praise.
In this powerful Palm Sunday message, Pastor Sam takes us on a journey through Scripture, tracing the sacred thread of praise from the banks of the Red Sea to the gates of Jerusalem. Discover how praise is more than a song—it’s a sign of freedom, a war cry, a prophetic declaration, and an invitation for God’s glory.
You’ll learn how:
Praise breaks chains and buries enemies in the wake of your breakthrough.
Praise is a weapon that remembers where God brought you from.
Praise prepares the way for what’s coming and invites the King to reign.
