Pastor Chris Hodges (PC) preaches that God has a unique, specific purpose for every believer's life, urging the congregation to discover their spiritual gifts and serve on the Dream Team, because true joy and fulfillment come from stepping into the role God designed for each person.
Fasting for Breakthrough
Pastor Chris Hodges teaches the theology and practice of fasting, explaining that humans are triune beings (body, soul, spirit) and that fasting strengthens the spirit's authority over flesh and mind. He outlines five biblical fasts — the Disciples, Ezra, Paul, Daniel, and Samuel fasts — each addressing specific needs from breaking bondage to seeking national revival.
Jesus at the Center
Pastor Chris Hodges uses the nativity scene as a metaphor for how we arrange our lives, arguing that work, wealth, relationships, and pleasure can all be present alongside Jesus without Him being at the center — and that reordering life around Christ is the key to wholeness and fulfillment.
