We live in a time filled with information, activity, and constant noise, the greatest danger is not blindness—it’s distorted vision.

In Part 2 of Hidden in Plain Sight, Pastor Chris Appleton unpacks the powerful miracle in Mark 8 where Jesus heals a blind man in stages. This message reveals a sobering truth: it is possible to see… and still not see clearly.

Many believers today are not lacking encounters with God, but clarity in how they interpret what they are seeing. Through this teaching, you’ll discover how partial vision can lead to misunderstanding people, misreading seasons, and missing what God is doing right in front of you.

This message will challenge you to examine your spiritual sight and invite God to restore clear vision in your life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between blindness and distorted vision
• Why Jesus healed the blind man in stages
• How environment can impact your ability to see clearly
• What it means to have true spiritual clarity
• Why vision determines how you live

We are living in critical times, and clarity matters more than ever.

You don’t just need another encounter.
You need your eyes opened.

Eschatology – Week 1: The Divine Master Plan
Living Word Arizona | Pastor Chris Appleton

Why don’t we talk about the end times?

In this opening message of the Eschatology series, Pastor Chris Appleton lays a biblical foundation for understanding the last days and the return of Jesus Christ. While many avoid this topic due to confusion or fear, Scripture reveals that prophecy was given not to alarm us—but to prepare us.

This teaching explores why the return of Christ is central to our faith and how believers are called to live with awareness, discernment, and readiness. You’ll be challenged to shift from speculation to spiritual alertness, and from uncertainty to confidence in God’s divine plan.

In this message, you’ll learn:

• Why prophecy matters and how it strengthens your faith
• How people in the New Testament recognized the first coming of Jesus
• What it means to watch and be ready
• How to discern the seasons and times we are living in
• Why the return of Christ should shape how we live today

This is not about predicting dates or creating fear—it’s about living with clarity, urgency, and expectation.

The King is coming. Be ready.

In this powerful message, guest speaker Pastor Roy Sublasky dives deep into the reality of shame—how it forms, how it hides, and how it silently shapes our identity.

Through biblical truth and practical insight, this message reveals that shame was never meant to define you. What the enemy tries to use to keep you hidden, God wants to redeem and bring into the light.

If you’ve ever felt disqualified, unworthy, or stuck in your past, this message will remind you that freedom is not only possible—it’s already been paid for.

👉 It’s time to step out of shame and into your identity in Christ.

Not every threat to the church is loud, obvious, or external. Some of the most dangerous issues grow quietly beneath the surface—undetected, unaddressed, and ultimately destructive.

In this eye-opening message, Pastor Chris exposes the hidden dangers that slowly weaken a church from within. Whether it’s complacency, disunity, pride, or loss of spiritual hunger, these silent killers don’t announce themselves—they creep in and erode the life, power, and purpose of God’s people.

What is silently affecting your walk with God?
What is quietly shaping the culture of the church?
And how do we confront what we cannot easily see?

With clarity and conviction, this message calls believers to spiritual awareness, accountability, and a return to the presence and power of God. Because what goes unchecked will eventually take control.

It’s time to identify it… and deal with it before it’s too late.

In this powerful message, Pastor Chris reveals that Jesus is not just part of the story—He is the shift that changes everything.

From old to new, from law to grace, from death to life—every turning point in Scripture and in our lives is found in Him. This sermon explores how Jesus transforms systems, mindsets, identity, and destiny, calling believers out of stagnation and into movement with heaven.

What happens when Jesus steps into your situation?
What shifts when you truly encounter Him?
And are you willing to move when He moves?

With clarity and conviction, this message challenges listeners to recognize where they are stuck, embrace the shift Jesus is bringing, and align with the direction of the Kingdom.

Jesus is not an addition to your life—He is the turning point.

It’s time to shift.

In this sobering and prophetic message, Pastor Chris unpacks Jesus’ warning to the church of Laodicea in Revelation 3—a church that had wealth, influence, and activity, but was missing the very presence of Christ.

What does it mean to be lukewarm?
How can a church look alive on the outside but be spiritually bankrupt within?
And what happens when Jesus is no longer at the center—but standing at the door, knocking?

This message confronts the danger of spiritual complacency, exposes the deception of self-sufficiency, and calls believers back to a place of true intimacy with God. With clarity and conviction, Pastor Chris challenges listeners to examine their own lives and respond to the voice of Jesus before it’s too late.

If you’ve ever felt distant, stagnant, or unsure of where you stand with God, this message will awaken your heart and draw you back to the fire.

It’s time to open the door.
