Abundant Life Church Podcast

“Honestly officer, I didn’t see the sign.”  Did you ever say that when you have gotten pulled over by a police officer?  Many have.  And some people are honest when they say it.  They just didn’t see the sign.  Signs are all around us.  We have so many signs, we start to ignore them or overlook them.  As we are studying through 2 Peter, he gives us a warning of the End Game that is coming.  But ho...

The Bible is God’s story on His rescue plan for all men and women through the grace and mercy of His son, Jesus.  As we read His word, we see God’s love, His power, and His unchanging compassion for people. The more we see it, the more we are in awe of who He is! The more we are excited for Jesus to return and the more we are excited for the promise of eternal life. But should we stop there?  How...

Our culture is saturated by promises offered.  Some are used for marketing, some are incorporated in our jobs and work, some are in the form of a legal document, and others are shared among friends and loved ones.   We have all received the blessing of a promise.  Many have been hurt by a promise that was not kept. Today as we look at 2 Peter 1:3-4, Pastor Devin shares the importance of the promis...

No one plays a game or competes in a sport without knowing how the game ends or how to win.  No one enjoys working without knowing ahead of time what the end goal is.  Yet many of us live life refusing to think about how things will end.    Today Pastor Devin starts a new series on 2 Peter.  We are called to remember and think about life with the end in mind.  As we just ended a series talking abo...

As we wrap up this series based on Craig Groeschel's book "Winning The War In Your Mind," Pastor Joe Gonyea brings it all together as he explains the science behind how our brains process and create anxieties, and how the Word of God calls us to take every thought captive. Our worry is actually a sin against God because it shows that we don't fully trust in His Power and in His...

We have all had “duh” moments when we have made silly mistakes in our lives.  Some of these have been moments where we just weren’t thinking like we should have.  Why is it that we fill our lives complaining even though we have so much to be thankful for?  We can spend a lot of our time focusing on the negative, and not all the good things God has given to us. Today Pastor Devin continues in our s...

We have a lot of thoughts that compete for space in our brains.  We can fill our minds with so many different images, ideas, feelings, ideologies, and opinions.  It’s hard to know what is truth, and what is false.  Just like wiring can get “crossed” and send the wrong signal, our brains can get “crossed” and we think wrong thoughts.  Our brains need rewiring!   Join us today as Pastor Devin contin...

Today we start a new series called Winning the War in Your Mind, which will be based on a recent book by Pastor Craig Groeschel from Life Church.   We want a “Better” 2023, but will we make the changes necessary to experience God’s?  One of those changes that we need to make is to change our thinking.  The biggest battle that we face personally is in our minds, and it’s a battle we fight every min...

We are starting 2023 believing that God has BETTER for us in this new year.  However, BETTER doesn’t mean God gives us everything we want.  BETTER means walking more closely to him and following His perfect will for our lives.   There are many aspects of following Jesus more closely and many areas we can experience BETTER from God.  Today, Pastor Devin is finishing up the book of Philippians as we...

We all want more and “better” for the new year.  Why will God give us more if we won’t be content with what God has already given to us.  Today Pastor Devin is looking at Philippians 4:10-13 as we learn from Paul how to walk in contentment.

Where does your peace come from?  Does it come from a nice vacation, success, healthy relationships?  Everyone is wanting peace in their life, but our world offers many paths to try and find it.  Join us today as Pastor Devin reminds us that peace isn’t a destination, but a journey, and is offered through Jesus as we follow Him!  Social Media Links: Facebook: facebook.com/abundantlifebirdsboro Ins...

We live in a culture where we are always wanting something better. Better income, a better job, better stuff, better food, etc.  Do we believe that God has something better for us? As we come into 2023, the word that God is speaking to Abundant Life Church is “Better”. Join us today as Pastor Devin shares why this word will be pivotal as we head into 2023.   Social Media Links: Facebook: facebook....

As Christmas is a time of remembering Christ, it is also a time for gathering with friends and families.  Some of those relationships come easy…some come with past baggage and hurt. As Pastor Devin continues teaching from Philippians, we see the church in Philippi was also dealing with conflict. Join us today as we look at how we can exchange division for unity during this Christmas season. Social...

It’s Christmas time! A time for Christmas trees, lights, eggnog and presents! Many dreams from young people as they hope to get something special this Christmas. With all that is involved with Christmas, we need to remember the greatest reason for Christmas, which is the Birth of Christ. Today (12.4.22) Pastor Devin continues in teaching in Philippians as we see the great gift exchange that God ma...

December is a month of celebration, and it is also a month of decisions. Which parties will I go to, what will I buy for presents, how will I use my time, what Christmas movie will I watch? For each decision we take hold of what we want, and we let go to what is not as important. Today (12.11.22) Pastor Devin is talking about another exchange we make as we follow Jesus. Join us as we continue in P...

Join us today as Pastor Scott Drumheller shares a word from Philippians chapter 3! In this passage of scripture, Paul reminds us that our worth doesn't come from our flesh. No amount of prestige in the world's eyes will ever be able to match the sanctification that comes through Jesus.

As we take time to study history, there is story after story of people who have impacted our lives. Most of these people we have never met, some we have close relationships with. These are people who should be honored and remembered. Today as we study the book of Philippians, we are given the example of honoring others, while recognizing that Jesus is Greater than everyone. Pastor Devin explains h...

“My Way” was a hit song by Frank Sinatra in the 60’s that was an immediate hit. It resonated in the hearts of many, as every human heart wants to seek its own will and desires. Then Jesus comes with a message of sacrifice, and selflessness. It’s a hard message to receive. Today Pastor Devin encourages us from Philippians 2 as we learn that Jesus is greater than everything, even ourselves!  Join us...

Join us as Greg Hubbard brings his third sermon of the weekend, a message for those who might be drifting in our faith; many of us without even realizing it. Our drifting doesn't just affect us, but those around us. Greg reminds us of the power of being rooted in God's Word and in prayer.

Today we are continuing with Part 2 of Jesus is greater than suffering. What is the purpose of suffering? If God is a good God, why would He allow it? No one enjoys times of suffering, yet suffering is something we all experience at different times. Today Pastor Devin explains the purpose of suffering and how we can walk through it with God’s help.

It’s difficult to trust God, especially when we are going through seasons of pain or suffering.  Why does God allow suffering?  Why is there so much pain in the world? These are common questions people ask, but today as we look in Philippians, we see that JESUS is greater than our suffering. Join us and find encouragement for your soul!

Does God still do Miracles and Heal people today?  Why are we not seeing more healings?  Should we continue to pray for God to heal people?  These are all questions that many believers in Jesus wrestle with, especially when they are overwhelmed with a disease, or a sickness.  Today Cyndi Scharadin joins Pastor Devin to have a conversation about what scripture says about healing, and why we should...

Do you get tired of waiting? Would you like to see results come faster in life? If you answered 'yes' to these questions, you are not alone. We are in a “immediate” culture.  However, the laws of nature and the laws that God has established don’t change with culture. Today Pastor Devin shares the importance of understanding the different seasons we face in life, and in following Jesus. J...
