Will Jesus Find Faith - Episode 2352
Drawing from Luke 18, we explore the pressing question Jesus asks: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Join us as we unpack the essence of faith through persistence in prayer, the revealing nature of our heart's desires, and the necessity of recognizing our need for a Savior. We will reflect on the importance of approaching God with child-like trust and the radical call to let go of everything to gain a relationship with Him. This episode challenges you to examine your own faith: Are you persistent in your prayer life? Do you trust God fully? Will He find faith in your life today?

Have You Turned Your Back on God - Episode 2350

be careful not to be a Pharisee - Episode 2349
The religious leaders failed to recognize Jesus as the Messiah for a variety of reasons. One of which is because they focused on their man made laws and traditions instead of seeing the miracles that Jesus did. Don’t become a Pharisee.

This Calling Is Still Being Proclaimed - Episode 2348
In Mark chapters 1 and 2, we see the calling of the first disciples by Jesus. He simply said “Follow Me” and they left all and followed Him. What keeps us from leaving everything to follow Him?

We got to take time and pray - Episode 2345
One thing we see throughout the Gospels is that Jesus took time to be alone with the Father in prayer. Jesus spent countless hours ministering to the people in Israel, but He also always took time for prayer. By spending time in prayer, we not only draw close to God, but we have an understanding of our calling. When was the last time you prayed?

And They Were Astonished - Episode 2343
We reflect on Jesus' powerful teaching in Mark chapter one, where His authority astonished the people in Capernaum. What does it mean to be amazed by His doctrine and power? We challenge ourselves to consider how we can bring that same sense of wonder into our church experiences today. What if we allowed God to disrupt our routines and expectations? As we ponder these questions, let’s commit to being the hands and feet of Jesus in our communities. Tune in and be inspired to share your faith in fresh and transformative ways!

Follow the Leading of God - Episode 2341
Jesus entered the synagogue and taught as one who had authority is what we read in Mark 1:21-22 and the people were astonished because He taught better than the scribes the people were used to. Why is that? Because Jesus knew the Scriptures and knew the message God had given Him. We need to follow the leading of God when we tell others about Jesus. If God calls you to share your faith with someone, then God will give you the words to say. Your part is to be obedient

Change our Focus - Episode 2339
Could it be that we have our focus on the wrong thing? Jesus calls His first disciples and told them He’d make them fishers of men. Fishing they understood. Jesus didn’t use bait, He simply called people to repentance. Our focus must shift from using “bait” to call people to Christ, and use the Gospel to call people to repentance. When Peter and the disciples went fishing in John 21, they caught nothing. When they followed Jesus’ instructions, they caught so much that their nets began to break. Maybe we need to follow Jesus’ calling to repent and believe.

Episode 2336 - Two Things We Need During Trials
In today’s episode, we pause with David in the quiet of Psalm 141:1–2, where he pleads, “O Lord, I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You! Let my prayer be counted as incense before You, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” This is more than a cry for help—it’s a posture of surrender, reverence, and trust. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to let our prayers rise like incense, especially in the moments when words feel few and the heart feels heavy. You’re invited to slow down, breathe deep, and let this ancient song shape your evening offering to God

The Final Commission: Sent, Empowered and Called to Follow
In this episode, we explore Jesus’ final words before His ascension—words that still echo in the hearts of believers today. From the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20 to the empowering promise of the Holy Spirit in Acts 1:8, we unpack how Christ sends His followers into the world with purpose and power. We also reflect on the angelic reminder in Acts 1:11 that He will return just as He left, and the personal call in John 21:20–22 to follow Jesus faithfully, without distraction or comparison. Join us as we dive into these pivotal scriptures and consider what it means to be a faithful witness in our time.

Unbothered & Uncondemned: Jesus Said What He Said
Shame called. Guilt texted. Condemnation knocked. But guess what? You don’t live there anymore. In this episode, we unpack the freedom bomb dropped in Romans 8:1—“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” That’s not a cute suggestion. It’s a kingdom fact. If you’ve been dragging around spiritual baggage Jesus already paid to check, it’s time to let it go. Walk in grace, drop the guilt trip, and stop giving the enemy a seat at a table he wasn’t invited to.

You Cannot Regift your Spiritual Gifts
You’ve got gifts—divinely wrapped and Spirit-delivered—and no, sitting on them isn’t an option. In this episode, we dive into 1 Corinthians 12:7-18 and call out the holy hesitation that keeps too many believers spiritually stagnant. From wisdom to healing to speaking in tongues (yes, we’re going there), it’s time to stop acting like you’re giftless. Every part of the body matters, and spoiler alert: that includes you. Tune in, get uncomfortable, and let’s stop ghosting the Holy Ghost.

When the Message is Rejected
In this episode, we explore two powerful moments of rejection in the New Testament: Jesus being turned away in His hometown of Nazareth and by the people of the Gadarenes. What do these rejections reveal about human nature, spiritual blindness, and the cost of truth? Then we shift to the Apostle Paul’s unexpected call to Macedonia—a reminder that divine redirection often follows human rejection. Join us as we reflect on how God’s purpose prevails, even when the world says “no.”

Respond Like This
After the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples on the day of Pentecost, Peter preached a hard hitting sermon to those who were in Jerusalem. The people responded by asking “What shall we do.” We need to respond like this, but instead, we usually sit in church saying “Lord, Bless me if you can.” We got our priorities mixed up

Are YOU a Spiritual Dam
God pours out His Spirit into those who put their faith in Him. The question is, does the Spirit flow through you as you use your spiritual gifts? Or are you like. Spiritual dam where the Spirit goes no where.
