Why You Can't Do Faith Alone [Fasting & Prayer - Week III]

Pastor Clay NeSmith - Jan. 25, 2026

Are you trying to run the race of faith alone?

In this message, Pastor Clay NeSmith challenges us to stay alert to the schemes of the enemy, who constantly tries to conquer and divide. Using the analogy of a football defense calling out "Alert! Alert!", Pastor Clay reminds us that we need one another to spot the attacks we might miss on our own.

Drawing from Hebrews 10 and Ephesians 6, this sermon explores why the local church is not just a building or a weekly gathering—it is a body of believers designed to motivate one another toward love and good works. If you feel your spiritual fire fading, it might be because you’ve pulled away from the flame.

In this video, you’ll learn:

  • Why isolation is the enemy’s favorite tactic.
  • The importance of using your spiritual gifts rather than letting them lie dormant.
  • How to "put off" discouragement and "put on" the renewal found in Christ.
  • Why we must hold tightly to the hope we have in Jesus.

Don't let your gifts go to waste. It’s time to step off the sidelines, get connected, and run the race together!
