SERMONS

Speaking Costly Truth

Truth often comes with a price. In this powerful message, Dr. Nick Gough unpacks the story of Esther — a woman who risked everything to stand for what was right. From fear to faith, fasting to courage, this sermon reminds us that speaking truth may be costly, but silence can cost even more.

Join us as we explore:

  • How to prepare for courage through prayer and fasting 
  • What it means to trust God when speaking truth 
  • The reward and vindication that follow faithfulness
     

📖 “And if I perish, I perish.” – Esther 4:16
God calls us to speak truth even when it’s risky — because His justice always prevails.

He Saw Their Faith

 “When Jesus saw their faith…” — real faith can be seen! 🙌
In this message, Pastor Nick Gough shares how desperate, visible faith brings breakthrough and transformation. Don’t let obstacles stop you—tear open the roof and bring others to Jesus! 

🔥 Don’t Bow Your Knee 🔥 In Daniel 3

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood firm when the world bowed down. This message reminds us to choose faith over fear, conviction over compromise, and obedience to God above all else.  📖 In this sermon, you’ll learn:  When it’s right to resist cultural pressure  How to find courage in the face of opposition  Why real freedom comes from obedience to God  🙌 

God has given you a name.

The world may try to rename you, but God has already defined who you are. In Daniel 1, we see how Babylon tried to strip Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah of their God-given names and replace them with names honoring false gods. Yet, while their circumstances changed, their true identity in God never did.

In this message, discover how you can hold fast to your God-given identity, live in Babylon without becoming Babylonian, and walk in the assurance that God always has the last word on your name.

✝️ When the world calls you forgotten, God calls you chosen.
✝️ When the enemy calls you condemned, God calls you forgiven.
✝️ When life calls you weak, God calls you more than a conqueror.

✝️ Judging the Prophetic: Testing the Voice of God

Have you ever heard someone say, “God told me…” and wondered, “Did He really?” In this message, Pastor Nick Gough unpacks 1 Corinthians 14:29 and shows why prophecy is valuable but must be tested. Learn the five biblical tests to discern true prophecy and how to walk in wisdom, humility, and order.

📖 “Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good.” — 1 Thess. 5:20–21

SOAP - Seven Spirits

🔥 Revelation 4 reveals the throne of God, the worship of heaven, and the sevenfold Spirit—wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, the fear of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord. Walk in His fullness today! 🙏

God's love letter to you!

The Bible is God’s personal letter to you 📖✨. In this Saturday night message, Pastor Nick shares why Scripture is essential for knowing God, growing in faith, and finding hope through the Holy Spirit.

🔥 Are You Lukewarm? 🔥 - Laodicea

Last night at The Branch NC, Dr. Nick Gough delivered a powerful word from Revelation 3:14-22 — The Lukewarm Church. Jesus doesn’t want half-hearted followers; He wants hearts on fire.

We were reminded that lukewarm faith looks comfortable on the outside but is empty on the inside. Christ is still knocking — and revival begins when we open the door. 🙌

The Church in Philadelphia

🚪 God’s opening a door no one can shut!
Last night, Pastor Robin shared how the Church in Philadelphia stayed faithful, even with little strength—and how we’re called to do the same.
💡 Stay faithful. Walk through the open door. Your crown is waiting.

The Church in Sardis

✨ “Wake Up! Reviving a Dead Faith” ✨
This past Saturday, Pastor Nick Gough brought a timely message from Revelation 3:1–6.🕊️God is calling us out of spiritual autopilot and into authentic, awakened faith.

He’s not done speaking. Are we still listening?

Blowing up Strongholds

 💭 What’s the difference between demon possession and strongholds? 🤔


Demon possession happens when we open doors to the enemy, while strongholds are the negative beliefs we’ve built within ourselves, keeping us enslaved to lies. Let’s take every thought captive and rebuild with the truth of who we are in Christ! 💪 

Strike the Arrows

Dr. Nick Gough's sermon, "Strike the Arrow," emphasizes the importance of actively engaging with prophetic words. He explores stories from the Bible, such as those of Jehoash and Naaman, to illustrate the necessity of faith and action in responding to God's words. Gough challenges listeners to not take prophetic words lightly but to actively pursue and cooperate with them. The sermon concludes with guidance on confirming, activating, and pursuing prophetic words to see God's promises fulfilled in our lives.
