Foundational Truths for Life

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? When Jesus called Peter, Andrew, James, and John, they immediately followed Him. Their response reveals three important truths about what it means to follow Jesus today: • They acted on Jesus’ call immediately. • They stopped doing what they previously thought they were supposed to do. • They didn’t let family keep them from following Jesus. In this episod...

Have you ever found yourself wondering: “What am I missing as a Christian?” You know you’re saved. You believe in Jesus. You know Heaven is your home. But something still feels off. You feel like you’re drifting. You feel like you’re going through the motions. You feel like you’re not growing the way you thought you would. You sense that God has more for you, but you’re not sure why you’re not exp...

Welcome back to “Acknowledging Jesus” Part 3. We are still discussing the third phase (within the four successive phases) every believer goes through when building their firm foundation upon Jesus. We are still discussing the third phase (within the four successive phases) every believer goes through when building their firm foundation upon Jesus. In this third stage, we continue to explore what i...

In Part 2 of this foundational series, Matthew Curtis continues to unpack what it truly means to acknowledge Jesus in all your ways so He can direct your path. Many believers love God while still following their own plans-but you cannot build a strong foundation on your own blueprint instead of His.

In this episode of Foundational Truths for Life , Matthew continues the journey of building a strong, unshakable foundation in Christ by exploring the next critical phase every believer must walk through: acknowledgment. Drawing from Scripture, this teaching reveals how your life is meant to be built on one foundation—Jesus Christ—and how true spiritual growth comes not through striving, but throu...

Have you ever had a moment where Jesus confronted your heart… and everything suddenly became clear?
That’s what happened to Peter — and it’s exactly how God still builds our foundation today. In this message, we walk through the same four phases every believer experiences:
 1️⃣ Confrontation — Jesus meets you personally.
 2️⃣ Revelation — the Father opens your eyes.
 3️⃣ Acknowledgment — truth sin...

Hebrews 4:2 says, “For unto us was the Gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” The Word of God is powerful — but it only produces results when it’s mixed with faith. 🌿 You can hear the Word every Sunday, every week, every day… but it won’t profit you until you believe it, receive it, and mix your faith wi...

If we want Jesus Christ to be the true foundation of our lives, we have to hear His voice — the living, anointed words that come straight from God. It’s not enough to hear about Him — we must hear from Him. When the Word is preached and taught with anointing, it carries life, power, and faith that takes root in your spirit. Faith comes by hearing… and hearing by the living utterances of God. Let H...

It’s with your heart that you believe — not your head. ❤️ But here’s the thing: if faith only lives in your heart and never leaves your lips, it can’t work for you. It just sits there… full of potential but never released. When faith stays silent, the building of your foundation in Christ comes to a stop. Let’s change that. 🙌 Come with me on a journey through the Word as we discover the power of...

Your revelation of Who Jesus is—your face-to-face encounter with Him—is the bedrock of your foundation in Christ. Not loose soil, sand, gravel, or clay, but the solid bedrock—immovable, unshakable—that is your firm foundation. That’s the truth we’re diving into in Foundational Truths for Life | Ep. 16: “How to Build Your Foundation (Pt. 6) | πέτρα, Christ the Bedrock.” ✝️ On Christ the solid Rock...

🎙️ New Episode Now Available Ep. 15 – How to Build Your Foundation (Pt. 5) "Hearsay or YOU Say?" In 1 Corinthians 14:10 (ASV) , the Holy Spirit speaks through Paul, saying: “There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no [kind] is without signification.” Every voice in this world—whether spoken aloud or just a thought in your mind—carries meaning. These voices shape how we thin...

Who Do YOU Say That I Am? In Matthew 16, Jesus asked His disciples two powerful questions: “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” (v. 13 NKJV) And then, more personally: “But who do you say that I am?” (v. 15 NKJV) Peter boldly declared, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus affirmed him, explaining that this profound revelation didn’t come from man but directly from the Fat...

🏛️ The Encounter That Sets the Foundation. In construction, a building is only as strong as the foundation beneath it. Spiritually, the same is true: our lives in Christ can only rise as high as the strength of the foundation upon which we’ve built. What’s more, the foundation sets the limits for what can be built above it—both in size and weight. You cannot build a more successful Christian life...

Consider this: to the non-builder, most of the emphasis and excitement is focused on the design of the house, the building, or the structure they're looking to build. But how much attention and consideration is given to its foundation? When dreams are dreamt, are they ever about building the foundation of their dreams? Does the planning and the laying of the foundation ever outvalue or at least ba...

In 1 Corinthians chapter 3, Paul stated that he was given the grace to be a wise master builder. But directly after that, Paul indicated he used that God-given grace to lay, or in other words, build a foundation. However, this foundation wasn't a physical foundation, it was a spiritual foundation! But where did Paul learn how to lay a spiritual foundation? From the One Who gave him the grace! I in...

At some point in our lives, every one of us have asked ourselves these questions: "How do I begin? Where do I start?" Thankfully, we don't have to figure that out! The Holy Spirit—Our Helper—is standing by, ready to impart to us plans from our Father—the Architect. Now, certainly, He's got the building plans, but what if you're not ready to build the structure? What if you still have to lay the fo...

If you could have a sit-down talk with our beloved brother, Paul, the writer of 3/4ths of the New Testament, wouldn't you like to know how he went from falling to the ground in pride on the road to Damascus, to being an Apostle from God to the gentiles? Wouldn't you like to know what happened after his supernatural experience meeting Jesus, and how he went from persecuting the church to building t...

Which came first: the chicken or the egg? Which comes first: the foundation or the building? The spirit of these two questions is the same, and they are not mysteries. Yet, there are people today who will argue it's the egg that came first. Any builder will tell you that if you're going to build a house or building of any size, you must first have a firm, complete, finished foundation BEFORE you b...

In 1 Corinthians 3:10 (KJV), Paul describes himself as a "wise masterbuilder" according to the grace God gave to him. He went on to say, "...let every man take heed how builds..." In order to build our individual lives on Jesus and, like Paul, to contribute our part to building up the Body of Christ—God's Building—"wisdom is the principal thing" (Pro. 4:7, KJV). What are we supposed to build? How...

Jesus is the foundation, and we—the Body of Christ—are the building. But what kind of building are we? And who is the architect? Why is it important to know that we're God's building? Come with me on a journey through Scripture as we answer these questions and more!

During His 3 to 3.5 years of ministry on the Earth, Jesus laid the foundational truths of New Testament doctrine. After His resurrection and ascension, His disciples continued to preach and build the Church upon this foundation. This foundation laid in the hearts of His disciples revealed an amazing side effect: people began to take note that they had been with Jesus. Join me in this episode as we...

Martin Luther (1483-1546 AD) is a real-life example of someone who, in the face of major religious persecution and denominational division, chose to make the Word of God the final authority in his life. He was willing to forgo all he previously thought was the truth in order to put his faith in the Scriptures that disproved what he had always thought was true. And because of that, God was able to...

Every building must have a foundation in order to stand and not fall. According to the Bible, the building we're made to be and the house we choose to build should be built on the Word of God. In this episode, we will learn more about what it means to build our lives upon Jesus—the Word of God—Who is the foundation of our building.

Join us for our very first episode as we talk about Jesus, the Foundation of the Body of Christ! Together, we’ll explore how He has saved us—spirit, soul, and body—and what that means for our everyday lives. Let’s dive in!

In this podcast introduction, you'll find out a little bit about the speaker's testimony: where he came from, where the Lord brought him, and the direction and vision the Lord gave him for this podcast.
