The Serving Church Podcast

As we figure out that God matters in our lives, we must align ourselves with his way. A renewal of our mind matters, so hope matters. Hope is a quality of the mind of the believer But what do we do when we have run out of hope? How do we handle our hopelessness? We consider those who have gone through hopeless situations so that our hope may be awakened and we may be more whom God needs us to be....

We want an excited group of people to serve and seek after the Lord. But that is hard today because many are hopeless. They are hopeless about their lives and their situations so there is no strength to love the Lord. How do we begin to find hope? We look at scripture for guidance so as we find hope, we can live more fully into the life that God has for us. As always, thanks for listening. If you...

As we continue our series on having an excitement for God, we look at the blind man who was healed in John 9. The first thing he does after realizing that Jesus was the Messiah was worship him. When we accept Jesus in our life honestly and find salvation, there should be an excitement in us. Maybe we aren't saved? We look at what true salvation looks like and consider if we ourselves are saved. We...

As believers, we hope to see miracles in our life. That is not a bad expectation. But one of the great truths of God is that his principles produce miracles for us. We look at the principles in the parable of the sower. We consider the principles of God that help us produce fruit from our prayer. Our prayer for you is that you can take some of the principles of the sower and see miracles in your l...

As we wrap up our series on being excited for God, we consider the story of Anna and Simeon. Why did they have a hunger for God even though others around them didn't? They cultivated a eagerness for God. Day after day, they hungered for the Lord. We have a duty to cultivate a hunger for the Lord. We look at the parable of the sower to consider how we can cultivate our hearts so that we can produce...

As we continue our series on how to become excited as believers, we look at Bartimeus who was one of the most excited people to encounter Jesus. Where did his excitement come from? He had a deep need. But does that mean we have to be in a constant state of hardship for God to move? We consider why God moves in those situations to help us learn and grow in our walks with God. As always, we apprecia...

We want to be a church excited for the calling that God has. But people are very bored in relation to church. Why is that? People have little idea about their purpose. Purpose is what keeps believers hungry for more of God. But most believers today have no sense of their purpose. Why not? We consider this question this week and look at the life of the disciples to get some sense of what it looks l...

We are praying for revival as a church. If revival comes, the church will not be the same. What is needed for revival? In prayer, God revealed the idea of faithfulness. If people will be faithful in the little, God will do more. But what does faithfulness look like? As we consider these texts, our prayer is that you continue to grow in God and expect more of God. God will do exceedingly and abunda...

The 3 pillars of our church include looking more like Jesus, establishing heavenly families and experiencing God. These are lofty ideals, which may seem unattainable, but the strategy of God helps bring about these things. The strategy that God revealed is shared in the podcast and we consider how to know if we are walking in the fullness of what God needs. As always, we appreciate you tuning in t...

Have you ever felt defeated in situations and do not know how to proceed? Many times when this happens, we lose all hope and there is a heaviness within us. How do we handle this? We learn from Pastor Benoy as he delves into 3 passages of hopelessness and how they held onto to their hope in Jesus. As always, thanks for tuning in. If you have any questions or prayer requests, feel free to contact u...

We are commanded by God to love others. It is in the conversation of the greatest commands of God and 1 John reminds us that if we do not love people we see, we cannot love a God we do not see. So in the midst of that knowledge, why is it so hard for us to love others? Love should be the identifier of a believer. If you are having a hard time knowing how to love others or why you lack in love towa...

Why do we not press into the presence of God? We know we should love God with everything, but we lack the zeal at times. We lack because it is not real to us. For a Christian to be on fire, they must encounter God. But how does a Christian encounter God? We learn from the parable of the persistent widow that committed prayer leads to answer and breakthrough. So, tune in to learn about committed pr...

As we continue looking at the idea of purpose, we again consider how we can find it. Those who are saved have a calling, but many times we do not find our calling. We consider how our calling and our vision align and how God is able to open our eyes and ears to hear from him. Prayerfully listen this week. Our hope is that God opens your eyes and ears to hear your calling and fulfill what he has cr...

Many of us know that we should find our purpose. It is of utmost importance to God and us, but we don't find it in our lifetime. Why is that? Why is it so hard to find our purpose? We look at the desires of Jesus for our lives and we consider if we are ready to make the commitment so that we can find our purpose. If you are interested in finding your purpose, tune in! We believe this sermon is for...

This year, we believe we can have heaven in our homes, especially the fruits of the spirit. We are aiming to have all 9 qualities in our home. What stops this from happening? We consider how believers do not center their life on the scriptures. If they would, how would our families look? We consider some norms about family life from scripture. As always, thanks for listening. Our prayer is that yo...

We want to bring heaven on earth. That is the aim of this church. We are praying Sunday morning is a meeting ground between heaven on earth. What stops this from happening? Many churches today are dry and dead and we pray that we can bring back a fresh move of God so heaven comes on earth. We look at the story of Ananias and Saphira to consider what stopped them from bringing heaven on earth. As a...

Having heaven in our homes is one of the core principles of the Serving Church. What stops it from happening in most Christian homes? In Joshua, we see Joshua's conviction that his family will walk with God. We consider the choices we make. We have to be deliberate about our families and their direction. We consider areas to be deliberate in. As always, thanks for listening. Our prayer is that it...

Every group has a culture. As our church grows, we continue to consider and cultivate the culture of our church What are qualities of the leaders that we desire? Do we look for lots of experience or great talent? We consider the life of Jesus and how he modeled good leadership as we encourage our church leaders and those in church around. Thanks always for listening to the sermon. Our prayer is th...

We are stepping into 2025, considering that Christianity is a movement of power. Our lack of faith stops the power of God How does one know if they are walking fully in their faith? We look at the story of the woman with the issue of blood and consider that our effort shows where we put our faith. As always, thanks for listening and if you have any prayer requests or questions, feel free to reach...

We want to see a church that develops people to look like Jesus. Not just in word, but in day to day life. Even though we know we should look like Jesus, many do not. Why is that the case? We look at the Genesis story and the life of Jesus to consider how our excuses keep us from looking like Jesus and many common excuses people make today. As always, thanks for listening and please let us know if...

Healing comes when we pray and seek his face. What does it mean to pray and seek his face? As we consider this question, we also consider why it is difficult for the believer to do these things. As we embark to understand, our hope is that we will win these battles and apply it into our lives. We will find healing if we are willing to As always, thanks for tuning in. Please let us know if you have...

Why does God give promises? Why not just give the promise instead of making the promise? We look at the life of Abraham and consider this question because the same God that made promises for Abraham makes promises to us. God loves you and wants a full life for you. May God bless you as you listen to the podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You are the light of the world. What does that even mean? How do I cultivate that? As believers, we have a responsibility to shine in the darkness, so tune in this week if you are interested in cultivating the light inside of you! As always, please let us know if you have any questions or prayer requests. We would love to support you in any way. Feel free to reach out at theservingchurchdallas@gma...

If we desire to see healing in our land, we must humble ourselves, pray, seek his face and turn from our wicked ways. This week, we look at the idea of being humble. Without humility, we cannot see the healing that God desires for the land. What does it mean to be humble? How do we humble ourselves more? We look at the idea of gratitude and how it goes hand in hand with humility. As always, thanks...

Many believers say they love God, but look and act like people in the world. Why is that so? How can people say they love God and care about him, but there not be any change? We consider that question this week as we look at 2 Corinthians 5, where Paul talks about how the love of Christ compels him. As always, let us know if you have any questions and please reach out if you would like any prayer....
