Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a direct, “sobering” call to biblical doctrine, holiness, and spiritual identity, anchored primarily in 1 Corinthians 6 (especially vv. 9–20) and supported by Ephesians 1. The Apostle stresses that believers must know Scripture for themselves, encouraging even children to own a personal Bible as a “manual for life,” and warning against diluted or “comic” versions that mix non-biblical material into what is presented as Scripture. She frames this as a foundational issue of sound doctrine and accuracy.

A central theme is eternal accountability: the preacher underscores that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s kingdom, insisting salvation is not a “magical prayer” after death and that each person decides their eternal direction while alive. She challenges cultural assumptions that a funeral service, religious ritual, or public prayer can “transition” someone from hell to heaven after they have died. Instead, she presses the urgency of repentance and righteous living now, especially for the young, who may assume they have “time” to change later.

Moving through 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, she highlights specific sins the text names (sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, theft, drunkenness, etc.) and repeats the biblical warning “be not deceived”, meaning people must not fool themselves into thinking ongoing sin is compatible with inheriting the kingdom. She addresses modern sexual pressure on teenagers, condemns exploitation of minors by adults, and warns that immoral choices carry spiritual consequences even if they are normalized socially.

The sermon then pivots to the hope-filled turning point of the passage: “such were some of you… but you are washed… sanctified… justified” (1 Cor. 6:11). She emphasizes that the gospel brings real transformation, and that a believer’s past can become a testimony—without returning to it. She rejects the idea of using grace as permission to continue in compromise, explicitly challenging the doctrine of “once saved, always saved” as incompatible with abiding faithfully in Christ.

Another major focus is the body as God’s temple. The Apostle teaches that freedom in Christ is not freedom “to go into folly,” and that believers must stop treating the body as personal property to use however they wish. She argues from 1 Corinthians 6 that the believer’s body is a member of Christ and that joining oneself sexually to ungodliness pollutes the temple. Using practical, memorable examples (including how small disobedience can affect spiritual sensitivity and ministry), she calls the church to develop character integrity, to be the same person inside and outside church, because inconsistent living damages witness and pushes unbelievers away.

She also reassures listeners that God can still use people with difficult pasts, referencing biblical examples such as Rahab and Paul, showing that deliverance and purpose are possible, but only if a person does not “go back” after being cleansed. The sermon closes by tying holiness to spiritual inheritance and calling through Ephesians 1: believers need wisdom and revelation to grasp “the hope of His calling” and “the riches of His inheritance in the saints,” and that inheritance is for the blood-washed, sanctified, and obedient. The final prayer asks that the congregation not “miss heaven,” that those struggling come into alignment, and that God rekindle passion, liberate His people, and strengthen them to overcome spiritual pressure.

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff calls for believers to become anchored in the Word of God, insisting that worship alone, while vital, is not sufficient without consistent Scripture intake and obedience. The Apostle teaches that when believers neglect the Word, they drift into sin because the conscience is no longer being “awakened” daily to righteousness. The central exhortation is drawn from 1 Corinthians 15:58: believers must be steadfast, unmovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord, with confidence that their labor is not in vain.

A key emphasis is spiritual discipline and seriousness: the Christian life demands commitment regardless of job pressures, schedules, or personal responsibilities. The message challenges “convenient Christianity” and urges the church to stop functioning on spiritual appearance alone, warning that without biblical grounding, people can be easily misled by wrong doctrine or persuasive preaching. Being steadfast is framed as loyalty and firmness in the gospel, an inner resolve that refuses to compromise even when voices of authority speak contrary to Scripture.

The sermon also stresses spiritual authenticity and holiness, teaching that power over darkness is connected to living a Word-formed life. The Apostle warns against believers who merely “mimic” church behavior instead of truly walking God’s path, arguing that obedience and holiness are what rout demonic opposition. She expands this into a broader spiritual warfare lens: evil is real, satanic influence is active in society, and believers must not be naïve or passive. Instead, they must be equipped with Scripture, a genuine prayer life, and a lifestyle that stays “under the blood.”

Another recurring thread is God’s faithfulness in hardship. The Apostle shares personal testimony about a severe medical crisis years ago (including forced fasting and life-threatening complications) to show that even when circumstances look fatal, God can “set you up” for rescue and intervention. This testimony is used to strengthen listeners: difficult seasons are not proof God has failed, but an opportunity to remain unmovable, trust God’s plans, and let faith stay active rather than becoming passive.

From there, the sermon encourages believers to work for God with expectancy, explaining that “abounding” means to flourish, prevail, increase, and flow in kingdom service. The Apostle teaches that God rewards faithful labor in ways beyond what people expect through favor, provision, and divinely arranged outcomes. She challenges the church to value God above career success and comfort, reminding listeners to remember God when blessings come and not to grow dull or ungrateful.

The message widens into family and cultural urgency: the Apostle warns that the times are dangerous, violence, fear, spiritual deception, and attack against youth are increasing, so households must rebuild prayer discipline, especially among children. Believers are urged to stop treating God like an “on-call option” and instead seek Him as a necessity, echoing Deuteronomy 4:29 (seek God with all heart and soul). She also cautions against destructive relationships and spiritual “callings” that are not from God, urging discernment about who is influencing one’s life, even through dreams.

In closing, the Apostle reinforces spiritual authority and perseverance using Luke 10:19 (authority over all the power of the enemy) and Luke 22:31–32 (Satan’s desire to sift believers, and Jesus’ intercession that faith will not fail). The congregation is charged not only to survive spiritual pressure but to come through refined and then strengthen others. The closing prayer declares believers as overcomers, asking for rescue, healing, peace, provision, encouragement, and an “atmosphere shift” for those under heavy burdens.

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff centers on “the persons at the feet of Jesus”, the crowds who deliberately moved toward Christ because His name carries power and His presence draws people for healing, transformation, and truth. The preacher emphasizes that background does not determine whether God will use you; rather, it is your decision, determination, and willingness to serve that positions you for God’s use. She frames love as the defining evidence of real Christianity, warning that spiritual gifts, good appearance, or church activity without love and visible fruit equals religion without transformation. She challenges listeners to examine what “comes out” when they are pressured or angered, arguing that believers must reflect their new Father (God) rather than the old life, and that even anger must be governed by holiness (“be angry but sin not”).

Using Matthew 15:29–39 (Jesus healing the lame, blind, mute, and feeding the multitude), she highlights how the crowds brought the broken directly to Jesus, even up a hillside, removing excuses and modeling persistence. She confronts modern inconsistency: people stay home from church for minor discomforts but show unwavering commitment to work or money, stressing that prioritizing God is essential and that what you sow is what you reap. She also stresses giving God one’s “best” (attention, reverence, preparation), applying it to both in-person worship and livestream participation.

A major theme is that Jesus not only healed but also had compassion and provided practical care, noting He tracked that the crowd had been with Him three days, teaching that God takes account of time spent in His presence. She calls for believers, especially those called to ministry, to seek God deeply so He can use them mightily, lamenting that the church can become “wealthy but weak” when focus shifts from love and power to material priorities. She urges gratitude (even before meals), obedience to divine instruction, and faith to place even “small” resources in God’s hands so He can multiply them, linking this to generosity, stewardship, and refusing jealousy/comparison.

She corrects spiritual extremes that shame people for using medical help (loans, surgeries, C-sections), arguing that God can provide in different ways and that wisdom matters, miracles and medical procedures are not mutually exclusive. The sermon concludes with a strong call to witness and evangelize, insisting people should be drawn to believers because Jesus is evident in their lives, not because they “bombard” others with religion. The closing prayer asks for healing, deliverance, restoration, peace, and divine intervention for physical illness and personal crises, encouraging listeners to “touch” God by faith as the woman with the issue of blood did, and to recommit to honoring God’s mercy and grace.
