DAILY DEVO: Living a Life of Willing Sacrifice As we reflect on the example of our veterans and the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, we are called to live lives of willing sacrifice for the glory of God. This involves trusting that God will provide the strength and courage we need to make necessary sacrifices in our lives. Our sacrifices are part of the package of following Jesus, and they are a testament to our commitment to Him. Let us be inspired to lay down our lives, our plans, and our comforts for His sake, knowing that our sacrifices are seen and valued by God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3yw3y49pmM&t=4739s "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." (Romans 12:1, ESV) Reflection: What is one specific area of your life where you can practice willing sacrifice for the glory of God? How can you begin to offer this area as a living sacrifice today?

DAILY DEVO: Reward in Sacrifice The sacrifices we make for Christ are not without reward. God is faithful to honor and reward those who diligently seek Him. Just as there are benefits and honors for those who serve in the military, there are eternal rewards for those who faithfully serve Christ. Our willingness to sacrifice is part of the package of following Jesus, and it is a testament to our commitment to Him. We are encouraged to endure, knowing that our sacrifices are not in vain and that God sees and values them. "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9, ESV) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3yw3y49pmM&t=4631s Reflection: What is one sacrifice you have made for Christ that you need to trust God to reward in His timing? How can you find encouragement in the promise of His faithfulness today?

DAILY DEVO: Prioritizing the Kingdom Following Christ requires a willingness to sacrifice personal relationships, comforts, and desires. Jesus calls us to prioritize His kingdom over earthly ties, reminding us that true discipleship involves bearing our cross daily. This means making difficult choices and sometimes letting go of things we hold dear for the sake of the Gospel. The call to follow Jesus is a call to count the cost and to be willing to lay down our lives for His sake. "And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:38, ESV) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3yw3y49pmM&t=3462s Reflection: What is one earthly tie or comfort that you need to reevaluate in light of your commitment to Christ? How can you begin to prioritize His kingdom in your daily decisions?

#VerseOfTheDay

Marks of Sacrifice The marks of sacrifice in a believer's life are a testament to their commitment to Christ. These marks, whether physical or spiritual, serve as evidence of a willingness to endure hardship for the sake of the Gospel. In Galatians 6, Paul speaks of bearing the marks of Jesus, highlighting the cost of discipleship. This serves as a powerful reminder that following Christ involves a willingness to sacrifice our own desires and comforts for the greater purpose of God's kingdom. The sacrifices we make are not in vain, as they are seen and valued by God. "I bear on my body the marks of Jesus." (Galatians 6:17, ESV) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3yw3y49pmM&t=3770s Reflection: What are the "marks" of sacrifice in your life that testify to your commitment to Christ? How can you embrace these marks as a testament to your faith journey?

Big thanks to evangelist Dave Johnson for blessing our church with your seasoned ministry this weekend!

Serving Jesus Means Sacrifice

Revival with Evangelist Dave Johnson started off with a BANG last night. These services will certainly inspire you to new levels with Jesus. Let’s go! Tonight @ 7 PM Saturday @ 7 PM Sunday @ 11 AM & 7 PM

#VerseOfTheDay This is one of greatest struggles of remaining in the faith. Once we get into the orbit of God’s grace, we are constantly at risk of falling back into the gravitational pull of works-based religion. How quickly we revert to the elder brother mentality, the early morning laborers, demanding more than is right. Don’t become a Pharisee!

On outreach today, this man asked us to pray for him to be set free from the addiction of smoking. God is moving! #HyderabadForJesus

#verseoftheday

Amazing turnout tonight with more than 280 in attendance. Thanks for coming out to hear the GOOD NEWS!!

DEVOTIONAL: The Power of Community Isolation can lead to spiritual dryness, but being part of a supportive community can provide the refreshment we need. The church is called to be a place of refuge and support, where believers actively seek out and uplift one another. This is not just a duty but a privilege, as it allows us to participate in the divine work of bringing comfort and encouragement to those in need. By being part of a community, we fulfill the law of Christ by bearing each other's burdens and providing the support necessary to overcome challenges. Full Message & Study Guide: https://bit.ly/4h8CpsW "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." (Hebrews 10:24-25, ESV) Reflection: How can you actively contribute to building a supportive community within your church or social circle this week?

Encourage somebody

The Ministry of Refreshment In times of spiritual dryness and hardship, even the most spiritually mature individuals need refreshment and encouragement from others. The Apostle Paul, despite his significant spiritual accomplishments, faced numerous trials, including physical beatings, shipwrecks, and imprisonment. During these vulnerable moments, Onesiphorus emerged as a source of support, often refreshing Paul and not being ashamed of his chains. This narrative serves as a powerful reminder that we are all called to be like Onesiphorus, offering encouragement and support to those around us. This ministry of refreshment is not limited to grand gestures but can be as simple as offering a kind word, a listening ear, or a helping hand. By doing so, we align ourselves with the heart of Christ, who invites all who are weary to come to Him for rest. Read the full summary: https://bit.ly/4h8CpsW "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." (1 Thessalonians 5:11, ESV) Reflection: Who in your life is currently experiencing hardship or spiritual dryness? How can you offer them refreshment and encouragement today?

DEVOTIONAL: The Depth of Real-Life Relationships While technology offers numerous ways to connect, it can never replace the depth and authenticity of face-to-face relationships. True discipleship involves life-to-life impartation, where spiritual gifts and wisdom are transferred through genuine interactions. Digital platforms, though convenient, often create a false sense of community that lacks the richness of real-life connections. As followers of Christ, we are encouraged to prioritize meaningful relationships that foster spiritual growth and accountability, recognizing that these cannot be fully realized through digital means alone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dggwTSu0u5Y&t=4980s "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." (Hebrews 10:24-25, ESV) Reflection: Who in your life can you reach out to today for a face-to-face conversation that encourages spiritual growth and accountability?

DAILY DEVOTIONAL: Holding Fast to Absolute Truth In a society where moral relativism is prevalent, it is essential to hold fast to the absolute truth found in Jesus' teachings. The truth of God's Word is not just a set of guidelines but a source of freedom that liberates us from the bondage of sin and deception. As disciples, we are called to stand firm in this truth, allowing it to shape our worldview and inform our decisions. By doing so, we can navigate the complexities of the digital age with discernment and integrity, resisting the temptation to conform to the shifting standards of the world. "Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth." (John 17:17, ESV) Reflection: In what areas of your life are you tempted to compromise on the truth of the Gospel? How can you reaffirm your commitment to living by God's absolute truth today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dggwTSu0u5Y&t=3711s

DAILY DEVOTIONAL: Abiding in the Word Amidst Digital Noise In a world overflowing with digital distractions, it is crucial to intentionally make our home in the teachings of Jesus. Abiding in God's Word means finding comfort and truth in His teachings, allowing them to guide our thoughts and actions. This requires a conscious effort to prioritize time with God over the endless stream of digital content vying for our attention. By immersing ourselves in Scripture, we can anchor our lives in the unchanging truth of the Gospel, which offers freedom and clarity in a culture often characterized by confusion and moral relativism.

Our Mission

Winning Souls

The call to win souls isn’t just for the super-spiritual or the pastor behind the pulpit. We strive to help every believer to be equipped to be a fisher of men. Fish don’t just jump into the fisherman’s boat. Why do we think that sinners will join churches on thier own? We are the salt and the light!

Making Disciples

His command is clear. We won't be distracted with empty church programs and religious facades. Making disciples for time and eternity is both the most difficult and most rewarding work of all time. It’s not enough just to get butts into chairs for services, we need disciples!

Planting Churches

The Spirit often calls the most faithful among us to be separated unto God for the spiritual needs of regions beyond. Our fellowship has curated a compelling vision over the last half century to raise up couples to be launched into cities and nations and repeat the process all over again.

Latest Message:

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else.”

Jesus | Matthew 6:33

VBPH Distinctives

Great things don't just happen by accident. Christian Fellowship Ministries now has a bible conference every week and over 3,000 churches around the world. Those numbers are only a small representation of the untold multitudes whose lives, families, bodies, marriages, and finances have been changed and healed as a result of faithful men and women following the call of Christ to "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel". This is the story of how it started:
Over fifty years ago in a dusty little cowboy town of 12,000 people, a movement was born that has carried the Gospel of Jesus Christ to millions of souls in dozens of nations all around the Globe. In 1970, a fiery compassionate preacher named Pastor Wayman Mitchell responded to an opportunity to pastor a fledgling congregation of 25 tired souls. He dared them to believe God for greater things. Catching a wave of the Jesus People Revival, the church began to see multitudes of young hippies getting radically saved and their lives being transformed from drug-induced hypnosis to Spirit-filled passion. While there were many churches feeling the fire of revival in those days, what set Prescott, AZ apart from the rest was an unwavering commitment by Pastor Mitchell to reach those who were still lost. While many of the saved hippies fizzled in their faith over time, Mitchell's disciples exploded in spiritual growth, excelled in ministry, and caught a vision for world evangelism.
Today, those same converted hippies are the very leaders of our organization (commonly known as 'The Fellowship'). Men like Harold Warner of Tucson, AZ; Rich Cox of Redlands, CA; Mark Aulson of Tempe, AZ; Kevin Foley of McMinnville, OR; and our sponsoring pastor, Joe Campbell of Chandler, AZ have each built thriving congregations that are impacting cities and nations around the world by training disciples and sending them out to preach the Gospel.
The Potter's House Christian Fellowship Church of Virginia Beach, VA was started in the early 1990's. Pastor Joe Campbell and the Chandler congregation invested in a pioneer pastor named Carl Milliman who came here by faith with his wife and planted the church. Over the years, other pastors have labored, prayed, planted, sown and laid the foundation for what we are experiencing today. God has been very gracious to us by building a powerful group of people that are faithful to the calling that's been set before us. Would you join us?
Our three-fold vision is driven directly from scripture: winning souls, making disciples and planting churches. We exist to help every believer become proficient in fulfilling these mandates.
This most-basic part of the life of faith is inter-woven into everything that we do. We start every weekday with a corporate morning prayer meeting. The church building is open from 6:30 to 8:00 AM specifically for this purpose. We encourage every believer to start the day off right with time spent in the presence of our King.
We also open our building one hour before every service for a time of corporate prayer to cry out to God for the needs of each and every church service. This is not a secondary event, this is how we invite the power and the presence of the living God into our services. We invite you to join us!
In a religious world that is hesitant to lay any burdens, demands, or responsibilities on its attendees, we take a more biblical approach. We recognize up front that you cannot be called a disciple of Christ unless you are willing to lay down your entire life for the sake of the Gospel. This is a high calling and will take a lot of your time and energy. if you are looking for a low-commitment church, we are not for you. We are seeking laborers for the harvest field!
We are not affiliated with any large-scale denomination, but we are unabashedly Pentecostal in our beliefs and practices. That means we are confident that anything you see in the Book of Acts church is possible and available to our congregation today. We perpetually contend for supernatural gifts of healing, tongues, interpretation, and evangelism.
Discipleship is the most effective way to win the world for Jesus. It includes teaching, but is far more than teaching,
