Stronger in the Fight: Winning Spiritual Battles | Ephesians 6:10-24
Feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or like you're constantly losing battles in your life? In this episode, Pastor Stephen Mizell discusses spiritual warfare and how to stand victorious in Christ. In the final sermon of our "Stronger" series through Ephesians, we uncover the truth about who your real enemy is—and it's not the people around you. Discover how the enemy uses deception, division, and distraction to keep you defeated, and learn the practical steps to put on God's armor every single day. IN THIS EPISODE: Why people are your mission field, not your problem The three tactics Satan uses to keep you defeated How to intentionally put on each piece of God's armor Why prayer doesn't just make you stronger—it makes you surrender The deadly trap of isolation and why you can't fight alone How the church functions as both hospital and army KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:10-24 This isn't symbolic fluff—it's spiritual reality. Paul reminds us that we're not fighting against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces in the unseen world. The good news? God never sends His soldiers into battle unarmed. You have everything you need to win the fight. Whether you're a brand new believer or you've been walking with Christ for decades, this message will equip you to recognize the battle, armor up, pray with power, and stand firm together with your brothers and sisters in Christ. REMEMBER: Alone you will fail, but together you withstand. The victory has already been secured in Jesus Christ—now it's time to walk in that victory.

Stronger in Relationships | Ephesians 5:22-6:9
Stronger in Relationships | Building on a Firm Foundation Series When Christ is at the center, relationships become stronger. When He's not, they become weaker.

Are you living like the person God has called you to be? Pastor Stephen Mizell delivers a challenge about the gap between what we believe and how we live. Using Ephesians 4-5, he reminds us that real strength isn't proven by what you say you believe—it's proven by how you choose to live. In This Episode: Why we can't keep wearing the "dirty diaper" of our old life The three guardrails for Christian living: Love, Light, and Wisdom Why sanctification requires your participation, not just God's intervention How your lifestyle is the loudest sermon you'll ever preach Pastor Stephen shares why your presence should change the atmosphere of any room you enter.

Stronger in Maturity | Ephesians 4
Are you growing spiritually or just getting older? In this episode of the Open Door Church podcast, Pastor Stephen Mizell tackles a crucial question every believer must answer: What's the difference between natural growth and intentional maturity? Drawing from Ephesians 4, Pastor Stephen reveals why salvation is just the starting line, not the finish line. He challenges us to move from being spiritual consumers to becoming spiritual contributors—from spectators in the stands to participants on the field. In this episode, you'll discover: Why growth is automatic but maturity requires intentional obedience How to walk worthy of your calling in Christ The difference between knowing Bible facts and looking like Jesus Why unity is evidence of maturity (and pride is the seed of division) How to move from consumer to contributor in God's kingdom What it means to be unshaken when culture shifts around you Pastor Stephen also shares a powerful, personal vision for the next season of ministry, including four specific commitments that will challenge and inspire you—whether you're a grandparent, a young person, a new believer, or someone sensing God's call to ministry. This isn't just another sermon about spiritual growth. It's a call to intentional maturity that will change how you walk out your faith every single day. Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-16

Stronger in Vision | How to See God's Plan Clearly
In this week's sermon, Pastor Stephen Mizell continues our "Stronger" series from the book of Ephesians, diving deep into what it means to have spiritual vision. Drawing from Ephesians 1:15-23, Pastor Stephen reveals why we live in a culture flooded with information but starving for wisdom—and how God wants to open our eyes to see what really matters. This isn't about physical sight; it's about spiritual insight. When life gets overwhelming and circumstances feel out of control, what you see determines how you stand. Pastor Stephen shares powerful illustrations and personal stories that will help you understand the difference between wandering aimlessly and walking with divine purpose. You'll discover: Why vision is the difference between wandering and walking with purpose The three specific things God wants you to see when your spiritual eyes are opened How Christ's current reign (not future reign) changes everything about your circumstances A powerful daily prayer and proclamation to transform your perspective Why your problems may feel over your head, but they're still under His feet Whether you're a new believer struggling to find direction or a seasoned Christian who needs fresh perspective on God's plan for your life, this message will equip you to see more clearly and stand more firmly.

Stronger in Identity | Ephesians Series Week 1
In a world that defines us by our politics, performance, and popularity, Pastor Stephen Mizell delivers a powerful reminder of where our true identity is found. This week, we begin a 9-week journey through the book of Ephesians, starting with the foundational truth that will anchor everything else: who we are in Christ. Pastor Stephen addresses the identity crisis plaguing both culture and the church, challenging listeners to stop chasing approval in all the wrong places. Whether you identify more as Republican or Democrat than as a follower of Jesus, or find your worth in your job title, success, or appearance, this message will redirect your focus to the unshakeable foundation of your identity in Christ. In this episode, you'll discover: Why identity chasing often reveals an absence of love The difference between worldly labels and Christ-given identity How God chose you intentionally before you had any achievements or qualifications What it means that Christ's redemption purchased your complete freedom Why the Holy Spirit's seal guarantees your security in God's family How to stop allowing past failures to define your present identity Key Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-14 This message is perfect for: New believers wondering about their place in God's family Seasoned Christians struggling with identity issues Anyone tired of performing for acceptance and approval Those carrying shame from their past Episode Highlights: The difference between discovering identity vs. receiving it Why adoption means you can't lose your place in God's family How Christ's actions prove His love beyond just words The Holy Spirit as God's "down payment" on your future Why God's grace isn't as fragile as we sometimes think Don't miss this foundation-setting message that will prepare you for the entire Ephesians series.

Pastor Stephen Mizell | September 14, 2025 In a world that seems increasingly chaotic and morally upside-down, how do we stand strong? In this timely episode, Pastor Stephen Mizell takes us through 2 Timothy 3:1-17, showing us how to live faithfully when everything around us feels unstable. Paul's 2,000-year-old letter to Timothy reads like today's headlines, describing the very conditions we're witnessing in our culture. But rather than leaving us in despair, God's Word provides practical wisdom for navigating these difficult times with faith and courage. Episode Highlights: Recognize the Times - Don't be naive about the spiritual battle we're in Guard Your Heart and Home - Protect what influences your family and values Stay Faithful No Matter What - Endure persecution with unwavering commitment Stand on the Word - Let Scripture be your anchor when everything else shifts Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:1-17 (primary passage) Exodus 7-9 Key Quotes from This Episode: "You can't fight a war you won't admit you're in" "If you don't disciple your family, the world will" "Faithfulness isn't easy, but it's essential" "God's Word doesn't change—even when everything else does" This isn't about politics or taking sides—it's about standing firm on biblical truth in an age of moral confusion.

Zelophehad's Daughters: One Hit Wonders

Zelophehad's Daughters: One Hit Wonders
Faith That Speaks Up: The Courage to Change Generations What happens when five sisters decide to challenge an entire system? In this episode, we dive into the remarkable story of Zelophehad's daughters from Numbers 27—five women who faced an impossible situation in ancient Israel's male-dominated culture and chose to speak up rather than stay silent. Their father had died, leaving them with no inheritance and no future. The law was clear: women didn't get property. But these sisters did something extraordinary—they marched right up to Moses and all the leaders of Israel and made their case. What happened next didn't just change their lives; it rewrote the inheritance laws for every generation that followed. In this episode: Why planning for every contingency can become a procrastination trap The difference between praying about something and taking faithful action How to approach God first before making major decisions Why your courage today might be the key that unlocks doors for people you'll never meet The generational impact of one moment of faithful boldness Key Scripture: Numbers 27:1-11 This isn't just an ancient story—it's a blueprint for anyone who's ever felt stuck in an unfair system, anyone who's wondered if their voice really matters, or anyone who's been afraid to speak up when they know something needs to change. Sometimes faith means praying quietly. Other times, it means speaking up courageously. The question is: What situation in your life is calling for the courage to stand up and say something different needs to be done? Pastor Stephen Mizell Sunday, September 7th, 2025 visitopendoor.com

Ittai the Gittite: One Hit Wonders
Ever been betrayed by someone close to you? Feeling isolated or wondering who you can really trust? In this episode from our "One Hit Wonders" series, we dive into the remarkable story of Ittai the Gittite - an unlikely hero who demonstrated extraordinary loyalty to King David when everyone else abandoned him. When David faced his darkest hour as his own son Absalom staged a coup, this foreign warrior from Gath made a covenant commitment that still teaches us today about faithfulness, loyalty, and what it means to lean in when it's easier to walk away. In This Episode You'll Discover: Why betrayal is a 100% guarantee in life (and how to handle it) The danger of having "low expectations" for people God strategically places in your life How to recognize true loyalty (hint: it shows up in crisis, not comfort) The power of covenant language and commitment in relationships Why some people will surprise you with their faithfulness when you need it most Scripture Focus: 2 Samuel 15:13-22 Whether you're a church leader, going through relationship challenges, or simply trying to understand what real loyalty looks like in today's world, this message offers hope and practical wisdom for building lasting, covenant relationships.

Huldah: One Hit Wonders
Have you ever felt overlooked or unimportant in God's kingdom? This week we dive into the story of Huldah, a prophet so obscure that even seasoned Bible readers might miss her significance. Living in the second district of Jerusalem as the wife of a temple wardrobe keeper, Huldah seemed like an unlikely candidate for divine consultation. Yet when King Josiah needed to hear from God, it was this faithful woman in the background that the royal officials sought out. In this message from our "One Hit Wonders" series, we explore how God positioned Huldah to speak truth into the most powerful places in the kingdom. Her story teaches us three essential truths: the transformative power of God's Word, the importance of seeking wise counsel, and how humility opens the door for God's grace. What You'll Discover: Why faithfulness makes you findable when God needs someone to speak His truth How God often uses voices in the background rather than those on the platform The danger of letting pride keep you from your calling Why revelation must come before reformation in our spiritual lives How humility can change the temperature of any situation Key Scripture: 2 Kings 22 - The discovery of the Book of the Law and Josiah's consultation with Huldah Whether you're struggling to find your purpose, need courage to step into your calling, or feel like your voice doesn't matter in God's kingdom, this message will encourage and challenge you. Huldah's story reminds us that God's voice isn't limited by position, gender, or visibility - He uses those who are willing to listen.

In This Episode: Why money remains one of the most challenging topics in church How Gehazi traded his permanent calling for temporary gain The danger of taking counsel only from yourself Why greed often disguises itself and takes advantage of generosity The sobering truth that nothing is hidden from God How to avoid trading what matters most for what you want most Scripture Focus: 2 Kings 5:20-27 This message will challenge you to examine what might be pulling you away from God's best for your life.

In this episode, we dive deep into the story of Naaman's servant girl - a young prisoner of war whose simple act of faith changed everything. This unnamed girl had lost everything. Taken captive, forced to serve in enemy territory, with no platform or position of influence. Yet in one pivotal moment, she chose to point her master toward healing. Her story reveals powerful truths about finding your voice when life doesn't go according to plan. In This Episode: Why you don't need a platform to make a difference - just obedience How even successful people can be "bleeding warriors" behind closed doors The real test of servanthood: serving others when you're not getting the best deal What keeps us silent: fear, shame, busyness, and past pain Why your worst circumstances might position you to reach people others can't The difference between trying to buy God's grace and simply surrendering to it Key Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1-5 Whether you're feeling stuck in difficult circumstances, questioning if God can use you, or wondering how to speak up when it matters most, this message will encourage you to find your voice right where you are.

Simon of Cyrene: One Hit Wonders
In this week's sermon we dive deep into the story of Simon of Cyrene - a man who gets just one verse in Scripture but whose brief encounter with Jesus changed everything. Pastor Stephen Mizell explores how sometimes we're chosen to carry something sacred when we least expect it, and how these divine interruptions can transform our lives and draw us closer to Christ. The difference between carrying our own crosses and being forced to carry others' How proximity to Jesus through suffering changes our perspective Why some of life's greatest lessons come through inconvenient interruptions The generational impact of one man's unexpected encounter with Christ Practical insights for when you're carrying burdens you didn't choose Key Scripture: Mark 15:21-32, Romans 16:13 Discussion Questions: Have you ever been "volun-told" to carry someone else's burden?

What if the thing that makes you feel most "different" is exactly what God wants to use to bring freedom to others? In this episode of the Open Door Sermon Podcast, Pastor Steven Mizell continues our "One Hit Wonders" series by diving into the fascinating story of Ehud - a left-handed man who became one of Israel's most unlikely heroes. In ancient times, being left-handed wasn't just unusual - it was considered suspicious, unclean, and weak. The very word "sinister" comes from the Latin word for "left." But what the world saw as a limitation, God saw as an opportunity for deliverance. Join us as we explore how Ehud's story reveals three powerful truths: What happens when God's presence leaves our lives How desperation can become the doorway to deliverance Why your greatest weakness might be your most dangerous weapon against the enemy Through humor, biblical insight, and practical application, Pastor Steven shows us that God doesn't always choose the obvious - He chooses the obedient. Your differences, your wounds, even your perceived disabilities could be the very things God uses to bring 80 years of peace to those around you. Key Scripture: Judges 3:12-30
