Pastor Giglio walks through Joshua 3, where Israel crosses the Jordan River into the Promised Land, to challenge believers who have professed faith but never possessed the fullness God has for them — calling them to stop making wilderness laps, consecrate themselves, follow the Way Maker, and step into the water trusting that God has already secured the victory through Christ's resurrection.
And The Walls Came Down
Pastor Louie Giglio opens a new sermon series on Joshua by showing that God's promises require active faith to possess, not merely passive profession. Using the story of the twelve explorers and Rahab's testimony, he demonstrates that fear — not the enemy — is the real barrier to entering God's promises, and that Jesus (Yehoshua, 'Yahweh saves') is the true hero of the book who has already conquered every obstacle on our behalf.
It's Time To Make A Move
Pastor Giglio preaches from Deuteronomy 1:8 on the day Passion City Church opens its new building, drawing a parallel between Israel crossing the Jordan and each believer's call to actively possess the promises God has already given — not passively receiving grace, but rising up to evict lies, break family patterns, and take spiritual ground.
Relinquishing Control to a Loving and Sovereign God
Pastor Louie Giglio preaches from Psalm 46 and 2 Kings 19 that believers can reset their lives by answering the question 'Who is my God?' — showing through the historical account of Hezekiah and Sennacherib that when we relinquish control, release fear, and be still before God, we find an unshakeable refuge no matter what is running in the background of our lives.
Created By God and For God
Pastor Giglio uses the analogy of resetting a glitching phone to its original factory settings to argue that every person's fundamental identity is that they were created by God and for God (Colossians 1:16), and that repentance — returning to this core truth — is the most freeing reset we can experience.
Jesus Is God
Pastor Louie Giglio demonstrates that Jesus explicitly claimed to be God through His seven I AM statements and especially through John 8:58, where Jesus used the divine name from Exodus 3:14, proving He is not merely a messenger or prophet but God Himself.
Behold The Lamb
Pastor Louie Giglio traces the title 'Lamb of God' from the Exodus Passover through John the Baptist's declaration, the New Testament writers, and the heavenly worship of Revelation, showing that Jesus is the final atoning sacrifice whose blood still speaks today, offering forgiveness and eternal life to all who place their faith in him.
The Glorious Comma - From Do To Done
Pastor Giglio reveals that Romans 3:23 does not end with a period but a glorious comma, continuing into verse 24 where all who believe are justified freely by God's grace — shifting the gospel from the 'do' of religion to the 'done' of the finished work of Christ.
Desperate - All Consuming Fire
Pastor Giglio preaches from 1 Kings 18 on Elijah's showdown on Mount Carmel, calling believers to stop limping between God and their idols, to go all in with no plan B, and to trust that the same God who answered by fire and kept a faithful remnant is ready to pour out His consuming presence on a church built to hold the fire.
Alarmed, Determined
Pastor Giglio teaches from 2 Chronicles 20 how King Jehoshaphat, facing three invading armies, was alarmed but immediately resolved to seek God through fasting and prayer rather than panic, and God fought the battle for him — showing that the antidote to fear is faith, not self-reliance or worldly alliances.
