Church on the Move Broken Arrow Podcast

You're listening to week 1 of our series in the Gospel of John called, Encountering Jesus.  Pastor Ethan Vanse walks us through what it looks like to really ask God to lead us and how often Jesus answers our prayer by working on something that feels unrelated. When we are able to trust Him where he leads us it always takes us exactly where we are supposed to go.  

You're listening to a message from Church on the Move Broken Arrow!  Pastor Ian Wilson delivers a hope filled message for kicking off 2023 with hope and direction!  

The idea that God is love is not only fundamental to understanding what Christmas means for you, but understanding the very nature of God and of yourself. Love comes from God; it didn't orginate with mankind and it won't end with mankind. God's love is eternal and transcendent. This is why your need for love cannot be filled with earthly things. Luckily, you were made by a God who is eteranl and e...

Joy is a a feeling of great pleasure and happiness, and Christmas can be filled with the promise of joy and cheer. But when our joy comes from external things, it's fleeting. The true source of joy is knowing God is working in your life and that He is good. Joy is not a season, or a moment, or a movie; Joy for the Christ-follower is a person, and His name is Jesus.

As we approach Christmas, we're making space to truly experience God. Christmas means the forever promise of peace with God, peace with others, and peace within. This peace comes through the sacrifice of Jesus, who absorbed the debt of our wrongdoing. Because of His forgiveness, we are called to respond to others with humility and forgiveness, living in the promise of peace.

Hope is a positive expectation of the future. People need hope. In fact, it's necessary for human flourishing. But Christian hope is different. Hebrews 10:23 says, "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." All other hope is shakeable and abstract, but Christian hope is specific, certain, and communal, rooted in the promises of God.

You're listening to Church On The Move Broken Arrow message podcast!   Pastor Ethan Vanse takes us through the power of being with God.  When God is with us everything changes and we learn how we walk this out practically in our life.  

You're listening to Church on the Move Broken Arrow.  Pastor Gabe  George walks us through Matthew 28:18 and Jesus' commissioning.  We are meant to dig deeper into our calling to compassion and grace and allow the presence and purpose of God to lead us in our life.  Leading us closer to Jesus and his presence.  

There is no life of following Jesus apart from good works, because whatever you worship you will become like. Good works are acts of compassion, generosity, and service. As a Christ-follower, you are gracious and compassionate to others because God has been gracious and compassionate to you. In Titus 2 and 3, Paul explains that you must be zealous, ready, and devoted to good works, because God can...

In week 4 of our series, "What the Bible Says About Money" Pastor Brenda Oakes teaches an incredible message on generosity.  We see Paul in 2 Corinthians teaching that generosity is not just within the framing of our finances, but rather the heart that we have behind it.  We have to find different examples, a different scoreboard, and deeper grace than that of the world and to do so we have to tak...

We live in a culture of dishonor—you see it in the cynicism and sarcasm that tears down everything without limit. You see it in how we talk to and about each other. We've grown up in this culture of dishonor, so the Biblical idea of honor might not come naturally to you. But honor is a part of the culture of Heaven, and you're meant to honor God. 

Matthew 25:14 -30 gives us an incredible picture of what it means to be a good steward. You're not called to hoard your gifts and blessings; You're called to make the most of what God has given you. He gives according to your ability, but He rewards according to your faithfulness. This means true stewardship is not being successful; it's being faithful.

Money is a heart issue. There's not an area of our life that's not impacted by our experience and attitude about money. It's vying for a place in our hearts because it carries with it a hope of security, peace, and satisfaction. Our Heavenly Father sees where we're at, and He wants to supply our needs. Whether you're in a time of need or a time of abundance, are you willing to trust Him? Join us f...

In Ephesians 6, Paul reminds the church that we will face opposition. There is an enemy, and we have to be ready to fight. In order to do this, we have to answer three key questions: who do we fight?, Where are we fighting?, and How do we fight? We must allow ourselves to be shaped by the scriptures and advance the Kingdom of God wherever we go because that's how we truly bring light to the darkne...

When the Gospel story affects every part of our lives, we find a more beautiful way to live and interact with one another. No matter what kind of relationships you're in, the principles Paul talks about in Ephesians 5 are universal for everyone who is in Christ. Our in-Christ relationships are characterized by our submission, sacrifice, and surrender to one another. This submission is not subordin...

In week 5 of our Ephesians series, we look at Ephesians 4. Pastor Ethan Vanse takes us through what it looks like to operate in the body of Christ through commitment to Jesus and His ways.  1. Unity 2. Service 3. Purity are the the 3 principles we see, and when we apply that to our life we see unity in the body of Christ, but it takes commitment to release the power of God.

In Ephesians 2:11 -22, Pauls talks about Jews and Gentiles being reconciled to each other. There was a deep cultural divide between these two people groups that only Christ could heal, but what does this mean for us today? Sin doesn't just affect our relationships with God: it affects our relationship with others and with ourselves. But through Christ, God has reconciled us to Himself, and He has...

In Ephesians 2:1-10, Paul paints a vivid picture of who we were before Christ and who we are after Christ. We were spiritually dead, enslaved to the desires of the body and mind, and condemned to God's wrath. But this is good news. Why? Because a diagnosis is the first step in treatment, and we have a cure that goes all the way to the root of the problem. In our darkness, Jesus found us and delive...

There is a tension in the life of a Christ follower, and that is the tension of being a citizen in two kingdoms: an earthly kingdom and a heavenly one. This can be difficult to navigate, because both of these kingdoms have different cultures, or way of doing things. This week, we take look at Ephesians 1. In Ephesians, Paul's prayer for us is that the eyes of our hearts would be open to who we are...

You're listening to Church On The Move Broken Arrow message podcast with Pastor Ian Wilson.  When we find ourself in a season of waiting God teaches us in Psalm 92 to give thanks, see what he is doing, and share what He is doing.  By planting ourselves in what he is doing through the local church we will see the other side of seasons of waiting and the fruit that it produces when we plan.  

You're listening to part 10 of our Summer in the Psalms Series.  Today Pastor Ethan Vanse takes us through Psalm 119 where we learn the importance of the Bible being our daily bread.     Psalm 119 is 176 verses of praise for the Word of God. It reminds us of the beauty and wisdom of God's Word in written form, and it reminds us that we must strive to be people of the Book. The primary way God has...

You're listening to part 9 of our Summer in the Psalms series.  Pastor Ian covers Psalm 27, The Lord is my light and salvation whom shall I fear? Pastor Ian Wilson teaches that we can trust that even when opposition comes against us we can put our trust fully in our mighty God, and trust that he will come through for us.  

You're listening to Part 8 of our Summer in the Psalms Series. Some verses in the Psalms are harder to understand than others. That's why we have to do the hard work of studying context. To imprecate means "to invoke evil upon or curse" one's enemies. Psalm 137 is a prayer of imprecation. It shows us that God wants us to bring the fullness of our emotions to Him, no matter how raw and unfiltered....

You're listening to part 7 of our summer message series Summer in the Psalms with Lead Pastor Ethan Vanse.  Pastor Ethan takes us through Psalm 8 and teaches on the principal of dominion.
