Church on the Move Podcast

Jesus wants to meet you where you're at - just like He did with the woman at the well in John 4. Have you read the story? When we have a real encounter with God, as she did, things don't stay the same. In the same way that God has approached us, we must respond by approaching Him in return. We have to learn to face ourselves and learn to align our desires with what He wants for us. Lastly, through...

The conversation between Jesus and His disciples in John 1 is a pattern for how we all come to Jesus and follow Him. Jesus asks a simple question, "What are you seeking?" But the answer to this question isn't simple at all. Your desires are driving your decisions, but your desires might not even be obvious to you. Jesus didn't ask you to have all the answers, he asked for your obedience. Action pr...

Hebrews 11:8 paints a vivid picture of what it looks like to follow God's calling, even when you don't know where it will lead.  The way God spoke to Abraham shows us the pattern of how God still works and speaks. God sent Abraham to a real and specific place, and He wants to do the same for you. When you embrace the specific calling, place, and community God has given you, you embrace the work Go...

Do you often start the new year with excitement, but soon feel yourself running out of gas? If so, you're not alone. So let's start this new year differently! Here are three new ways to approach the new year: 1. Start the year with a posture of humility and repentance. 2. Stop putting your hopes in the things of this world. 3. Strengthen your inner life through spiritual practices. We truly believ...

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 originate 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 eternal and...

Joy is 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, 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 fluorishing. 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. 

Pastor Greg Scott shares some wisdom on how to be led by the Holy Spirit. It's all too easy to talk ourselves into things or out of things when we let other voices distract us from the Spirit. This is why it's important to understand how the Holy Spirit speaks. When the Spirit speaks, He speaks in the language of the Bible, and He will always point you back to Jesus. 

This week, Church on the Move Broken Arrow's Pastor, Ethan Vanse, shares four words God has given him: do not lose heart. You were not made to live a life under the pressure and debilitating anxiety this world so often brings. You were made to live with a strong spirit and confident expectation of what God is doing now and what He will do in the future. When life's inevitable hardships come, Chris...

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 a...

Founding Pastor, Willie George, shares about the God First Challenge in this week's message. We see how God wants us to put Him first so He can unleash supernatural power to provide for and bless us. When we store up treasures in Heaven we have access to them now.   Dig Deeper: Read about Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings 17 Read about Jesus' encounter with the rich young ruler in Mark 10

  How do you, a Christ-follower, walk out the Biblical concept of honor when it comes to your finances? Let's talk about it.   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. B...

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...

In this message, Pastor Whit George walks you through Ephesians 4 and three characteristics Paul urges each Christ follower to have: 1. Unity 2. Service 3. Holiness   In the chapters leading up to Ephesians 4, Paul gives you a broad overview of our spiritual reality—what God has done for us through Christ. But in chapter 4, Paul urges you to respond to God's good gift. Paul says, that the family o...

We assume that if God wants something, it will happen without our cooperation, but we have to do our part. It is the manner of God to work through people. In a mysterious work, God has elevated the Church to His own right hand through Christ. It is His desire to anoint our abilities and fill us with His might. We partner with Him so that His will may be done on earth as it is in heaven. 

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 g...

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 ways 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...

Did you know that you're called to evangelism? Jesus calls all of us, regardless of our gifts or personality types. But evangelism is more than just obeying Jesus' command.  It was love that compelled Jesus to be our sacrifice on the cross and it's love that compels us to share this good news. And luckily, we have the greatest evangelist ever dwelling in us. Don't miss this incredible message from...

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 chosen to reveal Himself is through His Word, so we better be reading it! Join us for the final week of our series "Summer in the Psalms."

In Psalm 37, the word "wicked" appears 13 times. Oftentimes, when we see people far from God prospering, it can make us anxious and envious. But Psalm 37 has a lot of wisdom when it comes to our outlook on those who are wicked. We know that ultimately the wicked won't prosper, and for the righteous, our setbacks are often setups in disguise. Join us for part 9 of Summer in the Psalms with Pastor W...
