CONNECT with Rodney Cundiff

In “Knock Down”, Rodney shares that there are significant structures not built of bricks and mortar, but in our minds. Our thoughts and thinking build an opinion that becomes an attitude, which influences our behavior, and creates a life. Some of us have a good thought life, but others might be building our life on philosophies, teachings, false doctrines, and ideologies that are opposed to Christ...

In “Brokenhearted”, Rodney shares that the world is full of heartache. So many of the songs we sing, art we show in a galleries, pictures we show and share with one another, novels that are written, and movies we watch are filled with people who are heartbroken. Both saint and sinner - all of us experience a broken heart. The hurt can be caused by numerous different reasons. Whatever it may be, I...

In “Lord Of The Sabbath”, Rodney shares many people are exhausted physically from their jobs, and making a living. But, he sees just as many people who are exhausted spiritually because of they are “spiritual workaholics”. They are preoccupied with trying to earn and work their way into heaven, and a right relationship with Jesus. They aren’t resting in the sufficiency of Jesus and his completed w...

In “Victory At All Costs”, Rodney shares that winning and losing, one brings joy and a sense of accomplishment, the other can bring heartbreak and a sense of failure. The Church, a nation, an organization, a business, and a family all have one thing in common. They all face challenges from time to time. In order to overcome the serious issues we face, we need leaders, in every church, capital buil...

In “There Is A Man”, Rodney shares that God wants us to be leaders and influencers in the world. God strategically places his people with unusual giftings and talents throughout the world to influence and lead others to the Kingdom of God. The world is struggling with issues and questions, but you have the answer to the worlds’ problems. The world is calling and counting on you to provide an answe...

In “There Is A Man”, Rodney shares that if we are going to change the culture, and bring society back from the brink of self-destruction we must influence areas of education, religion, family, business, government/military, arts/entertainment, and media. God wants us to be leaders and influencers in the world. We are to be representatives of the Kingdom of God, this includes the schools. The book...

In “Who Is The Holy Spirit”, Rodney shares that the Bible describes God as one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Of the three members of the trinity, in some circles, the Holy Spirit is often forgotten and at times not esteemed as much as the other two members of the trinity. The Holy Spirit is also frequently misunderstood. God is spirit, not a mat...

In “God’s Calling”, Rodney shares that there is a longing in us to know what our purpose is. God has designed each of us for purpose – a calling – “a God calling”. God will providential direct your steps when you commit your whole self to him. We pray to have the mind of Christ, and insight but sometimes the way can seem blocked. Leave room for the leading of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes the leading...

In “Uptick During A Downturn” Rodney shares that current economic conditions are forecasting rough waters ahead, but those who follow some basic money management principles can weather the economic storm that is brewing, and actually come out ahead stronger and healthier when this time of economic hardship and inflation are over. It is possible to experience an "Uptick During A Downturn". When you...

In “Freedom’s Call To Sacrifice” Rodney shares that with great freedom and liberty comes sacrifice and responsibility. You are a steward of the freedom God has entrusted you with. How are you managing your freedom? How should Christ followers who have been set free by Jesus live in a free country? The Apostle Paul instructed the early church that they “…must be careful so that your freedom does no...

In “Blessed Are The Peacemakers”, Rodney shares that this has been one of the most contentious issues our nation has dealt with in its history. The recent SCOTUS ruling concerning the overturning of Roe V Wade and the response of individuals brings the deep divisions and discontent front and center. The church should praise and rejoice because of the decision rendered, but we should also walk with...

In “Unless the Lord Builds a House”, Rodney shares that our life is filled with choices and decisions, some good, others bad. A person may have good intentions, but sometimes results can leave us with regrets. Like a game of chess, everyday is filled with countless options and unforeseen events. We certainly can’t control every outcome, but we can set ourselves up for success overtime when we prio...

In “Leading Others Towards Life-Change”, Rodney shares that growth is the sign of blessing from the beginning, and is the legacy of kings. If we are going to be known as a healthy, prosperous, life-giving church we must begin to be “fruitful and multiply”. Our heart desire may be to see others come to know Christ, but the irony is while I want to see life-change in others; it won’t happen unless i...

In “Run With Confidence and Power”, Rodney shares that the Lord delegated his church with authority to share the message of the gospel and kingdom of God, but there is still one aspect that is needed if the church is to fulfill the mission of Jesus. We, the Church, have been given delegated authority, and POWER in the name of Jesus Christ to do the will, and works of God. The miraculous power of G...

In “The Starting Line”, Rodney shares that you can’t win a race if you don’t ever leave the starting line. God has called us to leave the starting line and run for the goal he has set before us. The early church didn’t stay at the starting line, they ran with the purpose and commission Jesus had given them. Because of the work of Jesus on the cross, and his subsequent resurrection, all authority h...

In “When Jesus Finds You”, Rodney shares that the most glorious day in your faith journey is when Jesus finds you. You may be in a place in your faith journey where your low is as low as it has ever been. You had hoped for glorious. Now, that seems like a thousand lifetimes ago, and a million miles away. But, all it takes is one simple conversation or meeting with Jesus and your gloomy day can be...

In “When Jesus Washed Me”, Rodney shares that one thing every Christian has in common is a personal encounter with Jesus when he washed – cleansed away our sin. That day is likely the most glorious day in a Christians life. Jesus loved his disciples to the very end, completely. Even though, he knew one would betray him, another deny him, and the others desert him. How many times have we betrayed,...

In “I Remember When Jesus ________”, Rodney shares that as a Christian during the Easter season, our thoughts should remember the goodness of Jesus in our life. What would you say, or could you do for someone who did something for you that can not be quantified? Do you remember when Jesus ________? You can fill in the blank. If Jesus changed and transformed your life, what should be your response?...

In “What In The World Is Going On”, Rodney shares that Pastor’s are being asked this more, right now, more than any time in my ministry. Is this the end of the world? Is Jesus about ready to return? Is it time for Armageddon? Wouldn’t you like to know? Conservatively, Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament that predicted his first arrival, death, and resurrection. There are a few...

In “The Ministry of Laying On of Hands", Rodney shares that when a person comes into a church they will be exposed to various rituals and traditions. What does the Bible teach about the laying on of hands? Did the ancient church practice it, and should it still be practiced today? These rituals we perform in a church are not for a mere spectacle. The scripture reveals at least 5 significant uses f...

In “I Wonder Why”, Rodney shares that broken hearts and grief drives us to ask, “Why – why, God?” We try to reason “why” things are the way they are logically to protect ourselves. God listens to our questions “Why”, but most often answers with a “Who”. When you continue to focus on why it reveals a sense of entitlement, which can lead to bitterness? “Why” leaves us feeling discouraged and hopeles...

In “The Cloud Of Glory”, Rodney shares that when we first attended church we came for various different reasons. Hopefully, eventually, we move to wanting to have a sincere, authentic encounter with God. God’s people have always experienced God’s presence and glory, but in different ways, in different times. Nevertheless, we can be assured that it is possible to have a profound personal experience...

In “Guard God’s Heart”, Rodney shares that not only the world, but Christians in the Church can offend, and grieve the Holy Spirit. Are you guarding God’s heart? oIn light of all God has done for us, when we live beneath the life God has intended for us it breaks God’s heart. Paul challenges the church to throw off our old sinful nature, like dirty clothes. Let the Spirit renew your thoughts and a...

In “Prepare Your Heart”, Rodney shares that if you want to position yourself to hear God’s voice this year, you need to prepare your heart to receive his direction and be ready to act on his words. Jesus sometimes used parables to teach his disciples the truths of the Kingdom of God. He taught them there are four types of seed and ground that represent the Word of God shared with the hearts of peo...

In “Remain In The Word”, Rodney shares that reading the Bible helps us connect to Jesus. If we remain connected to him, then our lives are more productive and fruitful. Tragically, many Christians can find themselves gradually disconnected from Jesus when they don’t take intentional steps to remain in the Word. In fact, we can’t accomplish anything noteworthy apart from Jesus. When we distance our...
