In this foundational teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola explore what it means to be "quickened" by the Spirit of God.

This message is a call to align our soul with the truth of our spirit and let grace quicken us into the abundant life we’ve already been given.

In Part 3 of the Breaking Free series, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola address the impact of personal experiences on how believers view God, themselves, and grace. Many Christians remain stuck in guilt, shame, and condemnation because of their past, traditional church teachings, or incorrect interpretations of Scripture.

Through faith, not works or feelings, we are made righteous, healed, and whole.
In this teaching, Pastor Leonard Rola unpacks Ephesians 5:1-11 with a focus on identity, grace, and how believers should imitate God by living in love. He emphasizes that Paul’s instructions only make sense when seen through the lens of the believer’s new nature, created in true righteousness and holiness.

Instead, we are now light in the Lord, called to walk in alignment with our new creation nature.
In this powerful teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola expose the trap of legalism—one of the greatest obstacles keeping believers from walking in the fullness of God's grace. They reveal how mixing the law with grace results in spiritual bondage, condemnation, and a loss of the liberty Christ came to give. Highlighting Paul's confrontation with early church leaders and his clear message in Galatians, the pastors urge believers to stand firm in the freedom of the New Covenant. Legalism, even in small doses, spreads like leaven, corrupting the truth of the gospel and leading to guilt and judgment. True freedom is found only in grace—unearned, undeserved, and freely given by Jesus.
In Part 1 of "Breaking Free," Pastor Leonard Rola teaches on the need to escape the grip of traditionalism and denominationalism in order to walk in the fullness of God's grace.

In this teaching, Pastor Leonard Rola dives into Ephesians 4:24-32 to explain how believers are to live out their new identity in Christ. He emphasizes that transformation does not come by works but through the renewing of the mind. By embracing truth and rejecting the fallen mindset—what he calls “the yuck”—we put on the new man and experience true righteousness, holiness, and blessing. The teaching corrects misconceptions about the devil and shows that the real battle is against internal belief systems, not external forces. Living from the new man means freedom, kindness, and power.
In this powerful teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola share the pure message of grace through Jesus Christ. They emphasize that salvation and righteousness are not rewards for good behavior but gifts received by faith.
