In a sermon titled, “You will move forward now,” Pastor Mike Signorelli singled out three key reasons why Christians do not progress. There is great importance in being distinct, believers are encouraged to influence the world rather than conforming to it. 

During election season people often forget that regardless of what political party they endorse, their allegiance is always to Christ above anything.

Promotion from God is linked to a believer's spiritual growth. In a sermon series titled: “I Have Decided”, Pastor Mike Signorelli teaches that promotion is defined by God alone. Although many people define promotion in terms of financial or material gains, true promotion is about the prosperity of the soul. It is becoming more like Christ and being transformed into His image and likeness.

In the sermon titled “How am I going to pass God’s test?” Pastor Mike Signorelli explores the concept of passing God's tests, using biblical stories and personal testimonies to illustrate the spiritual significance of trials.

People often ask the question, why does God allow suffering and evil? To answer that we have to take a look at free will, divine sovereignty, and the purpose of pain in human growth.

The wilderness is always talked about in a negative light and while it signifies a place of some sort of drought, for the Christian, it can be one of great spiritual growth.

There are many reasons the church has failed. In a sermon series titled: “I Love My Church,” Pastor Mike Signorelli lists seven reasons the church fails.

For the Christian, Jesus is the ultimate leader but it is also imperative to know that leadership in the church, with Jesus as the true leader, is very vital to a believer's development.

Followers of Christ need to return to the authentic practices of the early church. We must advocate for a revival and true Christianity rooted in biblical values.

Followers of Christ can see the importance of perseverance through the story of Job. In the series “Parallels” V1 church NYC campus Pastor Jocelyn Perez used the story of Job to emphasize the character building that believers develop through suffering.

Confrontation is often painted in a bad light but confrontation is also necessary for growth.

As we get to know the real Jesus, we learn that God desires us to continually commune with Him.

To people, Jesus is usually God or just a man but scripture is clear that He was 100% both. The real Jesus was and is a real human. He has a physical body and has a plan for your physical body. That plan is also eternal.

When you first meet someone you learn their name but you only know who they are and the significance of their name once you get to know them.

Sometimes we have doubt and lean in the direction of unbelief but God is challenging us to really believe Him and know how good He really is. Whether you are a leader in ministry for many years or a new believer you must believe God is who He says He is. He is a healer, deliverer, provider…etc.

Jesus is not invited to a pity party. It’s the only party we throw where we do not invite anyone but ourselves. Many prophets battled self-pity and no one is exempt, so it is important for believers to keep their focus on God.

We live in a microwave generation where we want everything instantaneously. Unfortunately, that is the antithesis of what our Christian walk requires of us. In a recent sermon series titled Fast Food, Pastor Mike Signorelli taught about the dangers of ingesting the culture around us.

People tend to love partaking in tradition and ritual but God challenges us to take it further into surrender.

On Ash Wednesday people apply ashes on their heads but believers of Christ are challenged to become the ash. For some Christians, the ashes on the forehead is a symbol of repentance of sins and a sign of humility before God. The tradition dates back to the Old Testament where wearing ashes was a common sign of repentance. During a message preached on Holy Week, Pastor Josh Hamstra of V1 church encouraged Christians to take it a step further by laying down pride, preferences, and comforts, asking Jesus to take everything.

Restoration is a well-known popular theme in Christianity but so is being set apart. Many times we find ourselves in the wrong company and what is sometimes needed for growth is actually separation.

You are in this world but are not supposed to be of it. In the series “Fast Food” we learn about the stance that Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego took while they were held captive in Babylon. Everything around them pressured them to conform but they never bowed to the pressures of society and never forgot who they really were.
