The Soil of the Heart

V1 Church prayer ministry leader Evelyn Roman emphasized that spiritual growth hinges on the condition of one’s heart, likening it to soil that must be free of toxins like bitterness and unforgiveness to bear fruit, as taught in Matthew 13. Sharing her journey of healing from spiritual abuse through serving at V1, she urged believers to let Jesus’ redemptive blood, shed in Gethsemane, purify their heart’s soil, transforming them into conduits of God’s love within a devoted church community, as modeled in Acts 2:42–45.

Nourished by Community

In a powerful sermon at V1 Church, Ivan Gualpa challenged believers to shift from consuming church like a buffet to contributing to it as a garden, asking, “What are you bringing to the table?” He contrasted the Hebrew concepts of Edah, an echo chamber of sameness, with Kehillah, a diverse community united in God, emphasizing that true nourishment comes from bearing fruit through proximity to God and serving others in love. Referencing Galatians 5:22-23, Ivan urged Christians to produce the fruits of the Spirit, ensuring their influence feeds others rather than leaving them spiritually starved.

Rooted for the Storm

In her sermon at V1 Church, Children’s Director Jasmine Falero likened spiritual rootedness to a forest of intertwined tree roots, emphasizing that believers must stay connected to Christ and His Church to withstand life’s storms. Drawing from the example of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Babylon, she urged Christians to remain rooted in kingdom thinking, practices, and community to thrive in modern-day pressures. By staying planted in a Bible-preaching church, believers can grow, bear fruit, and find restoration, as Falero’s own testimony of a healed marriage illustrates.

Comfort Is Killing Your Calling

Pastor Jeremiah Johnson, in a stirring sermon at V1 Church, warned that comfort and routine can stifle spiritual growth, urging believers to break free from past encounters and seek “more” of God. Citing Acts 10, where Peter’s uncomfortable obedience to God’s vision led to a breakthrough with Cornelius, he challenged Christians to embrace divine disruptions as invitations to deeper callings. “God is looking for hunger, not hype,” he declared, calling for surrender to transform lives and impact society beyond the church walls.

Submit to Leadership, Don't Fight Them

Pastor Sandra declared in V1 Church’s "Rooted" Series, “Here I am, God. Cut me. Break me. Shape me. Prune me. Just don’t let me stay the same,” urging believers to be planted in a local church to grow spiritually. She warned against the “rogue spirit” of church-hopping and resisting correction, emphasizing that true transformation comes from submitting to godly authority and serving in community, as Psalm 92:13 promises flourishing for those rooted in God’s house. By embracing accountability and covenant, believers align their emotions with God’s Word and bear lasting fruit.

Freedom from Narcissism and Jezebel’s Influence

In his “Battle Ready” series, Apostle Mike Signorelli exposes the Jezebel spirit and narcissism as twin forces of spiritual warfare infiltrating churches, relationships, and hearts.

Narcissism: Killing the Idol of Self

In a world obsessed with self-promotion, narcissism isn’t just a cultural trend—it’s a spiritual battle. Apostle Mike Signorelli, in his series “Battle Ready,” calls it what it is: a demonic deception that exalts self above God, destroys relationships, and silences empathy. Rooted in 2 Timothy 3:1–2, which warns of “lovers of self” in the last days, narcissism is more than a personality flaw—it’s a stronghold that demands confrontation.

Usher in Kingdom Culture

There’s a reason you were born in these times. Not in the 1800s or the First Great Awakening, but now, in a chaotic, confused, anti-cultural generation. God is still raising up King Josiahs in this day and age, and believers in Christ can be the ones to usher in the kingdom culture for this generation.

Built by the Book

Where are the men of valor, the fathers? Not just the ones who share DNA—but the ones who disciple, the ones who worship, the ones who teach, correct, love, and lead by example. The ones who build legacies not of trauma, but of truth. The ones who build homes by the Book.

Don’t Isolate—Congregate

In a world more connected than ever, loneliness still reigns—and isolation is often our first response to pain. But as Apostle Mike Signorelli reminds us in “Don’t Isolate—Congregate,” the local church is still God’s Plan A for healing, purpose, and revival. From toxic thought patterns like hedonism, narcissism, and agnosticism to the spiritual power of unity, this message exposes what’s sabotaging our souls and calls believers back to community. Fire falls on unity—not offense—and the enemy thrives in isolation, but destiny thrives in congregation.

The Audacity of Prayer

Prayer is not a box to check or a polite whisper to the sky—it’s the audacious act of contending with heaven. In Luke 11, Jesus teaches us not just what to pray, but how to pray—with relationship, reverence, surrender, and shameless boldness. As Apostle Mike Signorelli preached in “The Audacity of Prayer,” God isn’t moved by polite religion—He responds to desperate, persistent faith. Scientific studies may confirm its power, but scripture has always revealed it: prayer shifts atmospheres, rewrites stories, and dares to knock at midnight. This is the kind of prayer that changes everything.

The Secret to Ascended Prayer

Luke, the beloved physician, never wasted words—so when he wrote, “Jesus went up on a mountain to pray” (Luke 6:12), it wasn’t just scenery, it was strategy. Throughout Scripture, God calls His people up before He moves in power—from Moses at Sinai to the disciples in the upper room. As Apostle Mike Signorelli says, we don’t need another sermon clip—we need an elevated prayer life that silences the enemy and aligns us with heaven’s perspective. The higher the altitude, the clearer the attitude.
