In this fiery post-4th of July message, Pastor Austin Rumpel tackles the spirit of religion and issues a profound wake-up call to the end-times church.
The service begins with exciting announcements about the launch of a free 9-month Bible School, followed by a passionate charge from Evangelism Captain Emma to elevate our gospel outreach. Pastor Austin then shares the joyful news of coming under the spiritual covering of Apostle Brian Hallam. After teaching on biblical stewardship and honoring ministers from 1 Corinthians 9, Pastor Austin dives into the core message. Tracing America's roots back to the Great Awakening, he exposes how a regional religious spirit has kept modern churches dead and Christians in bondage. Using Luke 12, he warns of the coming judgment seat of Christ and challenges believers to shake off lukewarm Christianity, become faithful managers of what God has given them, and violently contend for revival in their city.

Apostolic Alignment & Spiritual Covering: Pastor Austin shares the blessing of being adopted by spiritual father Apostle Brian Hallam, explaining the biblical necessity of spiritual covering and sonship.
Biblical Stewardship (1 Corinthians 9): A direct look at the Apostle Paul's teaching on supporting those who labor in preaching and teaching, challenging religious mindsets around church finances and honoring leaders.
America's Revival Roots: A reminder that the United States was birthed out of a desire for true worship, and how true revival inherently disrupts and dismantles dead religion.
Dismantling the Spirit of Religion: Pastor Austin exposes the characteristics of a religious principality—false doctrine, control, and labeling radical obedience as "weird"—and calls the church to break off religious shame.
The End Times Church (Luke 12): A sobering look at the return of Jesus as Judge. Pastor Austin contrasts the eternal reward of the faithful manager with the severe accountability coming to leaders and believers who squander their calling or enable sin.
