Stop Wasting Time | Biblical Time Management & Purpose (Powerful Sermon)

Don’t Fumble Your Time is a powerful sermon that challenges how you view time, purpose, and daily priorities. In this message, Apostle Vernel Samuel teaches that time is not just passing—it’s being spent, and how you manage it determines whether you fulfill your God-given purpose or waste your life. Many people don’t lack time…they lack stewardship. Through biblical insight and practical application, this sermon reveals how unmanaged time leads to distraction, pressure, and missed purpose, while disciplined, purpose-driven living leads to impact and fulfillment. 📖 Key Scriptures: * Ecclesiastes 3:1 * Psalm 90:10–12 * 2 Corinthians 5:9–10 In this message, you’ll learn: * Why time is your most valuable and limited resource * How to stop wasting time and start living with intention * The dangers of mismanaging your time * How purpose gives time meaning and value * Practical principles for managing your day effectively * Why your daily decisions shape your eternal impact If you’re ready to stop drifting through life and start living with clarity, discipline, and purpose, this message will challenge and equip you.

Stop Treating God Like an Option | Don’t Fumble The Presence

Don’t Fumble The Presence is a powerful message from the Don’t Fumble The Blessing series, where Apostle Vernel Samuel teaches that God’s presence is not something you occasionally visit...it’s something you are called to carry every day. In this sermon, we explore how many believers have become familiar with God, treating His presence like a tool instead of a priority. Through the story of Israel and the Ark of the Covenant, contrasted with David’s reverence for God’s presence, this message calls us back to honor, awareness, and responsibility. The gospel reveals a major shift: what was once limited to a place is now living within a people.

📖 Core Scriptures: Matthew 27:51 1 Samuel 4:3–11 1 Peter 2:9 In this message, you’ll learn: How familiarity can cause you to dishonor His presence The difference between being around God and valuing Him What changed when the veil was torn Why you are called a royal priesthood How to live with daily awareness of God’s presence 🔥 Key Truth: You are not trying to get into God’s presence… He’s already with you. If you’ve been waiting to “feel” God again, this message will shift your perspective and help you walk in the awareness of His presence daily. 👉 Watch, reflect, and ask yourself: Am I hosting His presence… or just visiting it?

Love Like Jesus – Week 4 | The Gift of Patience | Vernel Samuel

In Week 4 of the Love Like Jesus series, Pastor Vernel Samuel teaches on The Gift of Patience and why patience is essential for sustaining love in every relationship. Have you ever gotten tired of loving people? As Pastor Vernel explains in this message: Passion may start relationships. But patience is what sustains them. In 1 Corinthians 13 the Bible doesn’t say love is exciting or intense. It says love is patient. Real love requires endurance. In this sermon, we explore how patience operates in real relationships and how Jesus modeled patience throughout His life and ministry. In this message you will learn:

• Why love requires endurance, not just emotion
• Why patience is a sign of relational intelligence
• How God models patience with us (2 Peter 3:9)
• What patience looked like in the life of Jesus
• Why true love gives people room to grow

If we are called to love like Jesus, patience must become part of how we love others. 📍 Hungry 4 God Church Brooklyn, New York Sundays | 2PM If you're in NYC, we would love to have you join us in person.

Love Like Jesus - Week 3 | Insert Forgiveness Here | H4G Church

Why is it so hard to forgive? In this message from the Love Like Jesus series, Pastor Vernel Samuel teaches on biblical forgiveness and why letting go of offense is essential for emotional and spiritual freedom. In this message, we explore Matthew 18:21–22 and Luke 17:1–5, where Jesus makes it clear that offenses are inevitable...but unforgiveness is optional. 

We all face: - Family betrayal - Friendship fallout - Dating heartbreak - Marriage disappointment - Church hurt

But Jesus never told us to carry offense. He told us to carry our cross.

In this message, you’ll learn: • Why forgiveness is the foundation of the Gospel • Why offenses are unavoidable in relationships • The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation • How unforgiveness silently sabotages your future • How to stop filtering new people through old pain

If you’re struggling to let something go, this sermon will help you understand how to forgive without minimizing the hurt and how to walk in freedom without denying justice. Forgiveness is not pretending it didn’t hurt. It’s releasing the right to revenge. You cannot love like Jesus while carrying what Jesus died to release.

He Loved You First | Vernel Samuel | Love Like Jesus Series

Why does love feel heavier than it should? In this powerful message, Pastor Vernel Samuel opens the Love Like Jesus series by teaching from 1 John 4:7–10 and Romans 5:8, revealing the foundational truth that love did not begin with our effort…it began with God’s initiative. Before you healed. Before you improved. Before you deserved it. He loved you first. If you are still trying to earn love from God, you will make everyone else earn it too. That’s why relationships feel complicated. Insecurity makes love transactional. Grace makes love stable. In this sermon, Vernel Samuel teaches: - Why insecurity makes relationships exhausting - Why unconditional love starts with God - How to stop performing for approval - How to love from security instead of fear You cannot love excellently until you receive grace deeply. This message is part of the Love Like Jesus: The Standard for Every Relationship series at Hungry 4 God Church.

Living From an Eternal Vision | Vision Sunday 2026 | Vernel Samuel

In this Vision Sunday message, Apostle Vernel Samuel challenges the way we think about vision, purpose, and success by calling the church to live from an eternal vision, not just short-term goals or temporary plans. While culture pushes 5-year, 10-year, or even 500-year visions, Scripture reminds us that believers are designed to live with eternity in view. When eternity becomes clear, values shift, sacrifice gains purpose, and discipline becomes meaningful. In this sermon, you’ll discover: Why eternal vision changes how you live today How what you believe about tomorrow shapes your discipline today How grace and eternity anchor a life that rises in true excellence Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:9–10, this message calls believers to build lives that endure, not just impress. This teaching sets the spiritual foundation for the year ahead and prepares the church to rise in excellence with clarity, purpose, and eternal focus. 👉 Listen, reflect, and ask yourself: Am I living for what lasts… or just what’s temporary?

Another Jesus: Grace Makes The Difference

In Week 4 of the Another Jesus series, we uncover The Grace of Jesus and confront one of the most truths to imitating Jesus. If you're not under grace, you're not following Jesus. 

This teaching draws a sharp contrast between how the world, religion, and Jesus operate.

The world runs on judgment.
Religion reinforces it with rules.
But Jesus introduces grace.

Through Scripture and revelation, this message shows that grace is not God ignoring sin...it is God stepping in where judgment would normally end the story.

📖 John 1:17
“The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”

This message will help you break free from striving, self-judgment, and spiritual burnout, and teach you how to live from grace instead of for approval.

If you’ve ever felt like following Jesus meant constantly measuring up, this teaching will change how you see God and yourself.
