Has God Forgotten About You? 26.10.2026 47:52
Have you ever wondered if God has forgotten about you? Maybe you've been praying for something that never seems to change, doing your best without anyone noticing, or walking through a difficult season that feels like it will never end. In week four of the Plot Twist series, you’ll explore Esther 5–7 and be reminded that just because you can't see what God is doing doesn't mean He's forgotten abou...
You Don't Get To Read Ahead 19.10.2026 41:57
What if faith means taking the next step before you know how the story ends? In week three of the Plot Twist series, Esther faces an impossible choice: walk into the king’s throne room uninvited and risk her life, or stay silent while her people face destruction. Whether you’re exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message will challenge you to stop waiting on the whole plan and t...
Is Comfort Killing Your Faith? 12.10.2026 46:16
What if the biggest obstacle to growing in your faith isn't hardship, but comfort? In week two of the Plot Twist series, a powerful moment in the story of Esther will challenge you to consider what you’re willing to risk for what you believe. Whether you're exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message will challenge you to consider who's really in charge of your life and what it...
When Life Doesn't Go As Planned 05.10.2026 44:07
What do you do when life looks nothing like you thought it would? In week one of a journey through the book of Esther, you'll discover that unexpected circumstances, other people’s decisions, and times when God seems silent don’t necessarily mean He is absent. If you’re living through a chapter you never would have chosen and wondering where God is in all of it, this message offers hope that there...
You Can't Heal What You Hide 28.09.2026 47:23
We’re remarkably good at explaining away the parts of our lives we don’t want anyone else to see. But what if the things we keep hidden are the very things keeping us stuck? In You Can’t Heal What You Hide, discover why honesty with people you trust can be such a powerful step toward freedom. You don’t have to tell everyone everything, but you were never meant to carry your hardest struggles alone...
Become The Friend They Need Most 21.09.2026 44:48
Most of us spend time thinking about whether we have good friends. But what if the better question is whether we’re becoming a good friend to the people around us? In this message, explore three qualities that make friendships stronger: telling the truth even when it’s difficult, putting others ahead of ourselves, and staying when life gets messy. Great friendships don’t just happen. They’re built...
The Key 14.09.2026 38:16
Freedom is a gift. Paul says it's also not just for you. In Galatians 5, he tells us the freedom Jesus won wasn't freedom from something. It was freedom for someone. This message follows a Sunday school teacher named Edward Kimball who almost talked himself out of stopping by a shoe store in 1855. He went in. What happened next is why you know the name D.L. Moody. Are you using what you've been gi...
Freedom Found In Forgiveness 08.09.2026 46:15
What do you do when someone hurts you and moving on feels impossible? In this message, you’ll discover why holding onto anger and resentment often hurts us more than the person who hurt us. Forgiveness doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t happen, removing healthy boundaries, or saying what they did was okay. It means refusing to let the pain of your past continue controlling your future. Jesus offers...
The People Who Make You Better 31.08.2026 46:20
Who are the people making you better? We all need more than people to hang out with. We need relationships with people who know us, show up for us, challenge us, encourage us, and help us become the people we were meant to be. In The People Who Make You Better, we explore why meaningful community doesn’t happen by accident and what it looks like to build friendships that actually change us for the...
Loved People Love People 24.08.2026 42:16
What if the answer to a lonely, disconnected world is simpler than we think? In Loved People Love People, we look at Jesus’ command to “love one another” and discover that He never asks us to give something we haven’t first received. When we experience the unconditional, sacrificial love of Jesus, it changes how we show up for others. Real community doesn’t just happen. We help build it by going f...
Heaven Is Better Than You Think 17.08.2026 47:05
What if heaven is nothing like the boring picture you have in your head? Revelation 21 and 22 describe a renewed world where everything broken is finally made right. No more death, pain, fear, or goodbyes. Instead, there is beauty, meaningful purpose, restored relationships, and life in the presence of God. VERSES // Revelation 21-22
The Feast and The Fight 10.08.2026 45:34
Where is history headed, and what happens when our lives are over? Revelation 19 and 20 offer a surprising picture of the future filled with celebration, justice, and hope. In this message, we explore what the Bible says about the return of Jesus, the ultimate defeat of evil, and the one question that matters most in the end. If you've ever wondered what Christianity actually says about the end of...
The Seduction of Babylon 03.08.2026 46:27
Why do so many of the things we chase leave us feeling empty? In Revelation 17 and 18, the Bible uncovers a world that promises happiness, success, pleasure, and security but can never truly deliver. This message explores why we're so easily drawn to those promises, how they quietly shape our lives, and where lasting hope and fulfillment can actually be found. VERSES // Revelation 17-18; Jeremiah...
The Big Questions 23.07.2026 45:25
What is the rapture, who is the Antichrist, and what really happens in Revelation? Wes and Birdie explore the Bible's major end-times views while keeping the focus on the hope found in Jesus and His coming kingdom.
What Kind Of Book Is This? 17.07.2026 56:34
Before exploring Revelation's biggest questions, Wes and Birdie lay the foundation by unpacking its purpose, symbolism, and original audience, helping listeners read the book with confidence, clarity, and a Christ-centered perspective.
Sabbath: The Holy Rebellion 13.07.2026 37:33
We are the most overworked, overtired, distracted, and anxious people in history, and somehow we brag about it. In this message, Birdie unpacks the ancient practice of Sabbath: not as a rule to follow or a box to check, but as a gift woven into creation itself and the one practice that moves us from living for God into living with Him. What was ordinary is now holy. VERSES // Genesis 2v2-3; Isaiah...
Difference Maker, A Church Built for the Last Days 06.07.2026 41:13
What does it look like to follow Jesus in the last days? In this message from 1 Thessalonians, you'll discover that God hasn't called His Church to live in fear, but to live with purpose. As the world grows darker and the pressure to compromise increases, followers of Jesus are called to speak boldly, live purely, love deeply, and endure faithfully. VERSES // 1 Thessalonians 2v1-8; 3v7-8, 11-13; G...
Will The Seven Bowls Be That Bad? 29.06.2026 46:53
This message explores why God's judgment is necessary, what true repentance really means, and how Jesus provides a way to escape the wrath we deserve. The question isn't simply how bad things can get. The question is whether we'll continue resisting God or surrender to the finished work of Christ while His invitation to mercy is still open. VERSES // Revelation 15 - 16
The Infinite Love & Wrath of God 22.06.2026 47:28
Can God's love and His wrath both be true at the same time? Wrestling with one of the most challenging passages in the Bible, this message explores God's justice, the fall of Babylon, the hope of the gospel, and the call to follow Jesus with wholehearted devotion. The invitation is still open. Choose the way of the Lamb and discover the life, freedom, and hope that only He can give. VERSES // Reve...
The Endgame of the Antichrist 15.06.2026 47:04
Who is the Antichrist, and what is his ultimate goal? Revelation 13 gives a sobering look at the beast, the false prophet, and the mark of the beast. But this chapter is about far more than conspiracy theories, microchips, or the number 666. At its core, it reveals a battle for your worship, your loyalty, and your allegiance. VERSES // Revelation 13
Wake Up To The Fight 08.06.2026 51:34
What if the greatest threat to your faith isn't what is happening around you, but what is happening inside you? This message is a wake-up call to recognize the fight, reject the lies, stand firm in God's truth, and live boldly as a witness for Christ. The battle is real, but so is the power of the One who has overcome. VERSES // Revelation 12
The Trumpets Are Sounding 01.06.2026 51:01
This message is both a warning and an invitation. God is patient, merciful, and trustworthy, but the call to repent and turn to Jesus is urgent. In the middle of chaos and suffering, believers are called to stay awake, remain faithful, and boldly share the hope of Christ with the world around them. VERSES // Revelation 8-11
Stand When Your World Falls 26.05.2026 48:50
What do you do when everything around you feels unstable, chaotic, and broken? In Revelation 6–7, the Four Horsemen reveal the realities of deception, conflict, famine, and death already at work in the world, but the story doesn’t end there. In the middle of judgment and suffering, God keeps His people, reminds them that the Lamb is still on the throne, and proves that evil will not have the final...
Is Anyone Worthy? 18.05.2026 34:24
Catch a glimpse into why why heaven erupts in worship, what it means that Jesus alone is worthy, and how the grace of God gives purpose, hope, and meaning to our lives today. The throne is occupied. The Lamb has won. And that changes everything. VERSES // Revelation 5v1-14
Anchored In The Throne Room 11.05.2026 45:36
Most of us spend our lives trying to control things we were never meant to control. In studying Revelation 4, you’ll discover one of the Bible’s most powerful images: the throne room of heaven. John discovers that the center of the universe isn’t chaos, politics, fear, or even ourselves—it’s God. This message wrestles with anxiety, control, purpose, worship, and why so many people feel spiritually...
