Great Oaks Fellowship Podcast

This week, guest speaker & Great Oaks elder David Faunce brings a powerful message about what it really means to be “the salt of the earth.” From Lot’s wife to Jesus’ words on the hillside, this sermon reminds us that salt isn’t just a nice metaphor; it’s our identity and our calling. Salt preserves what is holy, enhances what is good, and makes the world thirsty for the Living Water only Jesu...

This week, Pastor David brings a bold and urgent word from Hebrews 4, reminding us that not everyone who hears the gospel enters the rest God has promised. Knowing about Jesus isn’t the same as knowing Him. This message draws a sharp but loving line between religious knowledge and saving faith - and calls us to examine our hearts. Have you truly received salvation, or are you just familiar with th...

This week, Pastor David brings a powerful message from John 4 that reminds us of the lengths Jesus goes to reach the overlooked, the outcast, and the broken. In a culture that avoided Samaria, Jesus had to go through it just to meet one woman at one well. Through this encounter, we learn that Jesus isn’t scared of your past, and He isn’t distant from your pain. He offers something no one else can:...

This week, Pastor David delivers a powerful call from John 1 and Philippians 2: Jesus is the Light, and we are called to testify to that Light. Too often, we say we believe, but our lives tell a different story. Are you really testifying, or just blending in? In a world full of darkness, this message challenges believers to live with integrity, speak truth with love, and represent Christ with bold...

This week, Pastor David brings a convicting and grace-filled word from James 3 about one of the most overlooked spiritual battlegrounds: your mouth. Scripture says the tongue has the power to bring life or to set our whole world on fire. From gossip to curses, from prejudice to pride, this message confronts the way we speak to and about others, especially those made in the image of God. Whether yo...

This week, Pastor David brings a Spirit-led message straight from Mark 3. When religion looks to shame the broken, Jesus steps in with healing and grace. From the man with the deformed hand to the demon-oppressed and desperate crowds, we see that Jesus isn’t afraid of our brokenness; He moves toward it. If you’ve ever felt disqualified, overlooked, or stuck in cycles of guilt, this message is a re...

This week, Pastor David delivers a bold, unfiltered word from 2 Timothy 3, calling us to examine our lives in light of Jesus’ soon return. In a culture where nothing seems sacred and self becomes god, Scripture warns us of what the last days will look like, and how the people of God must respond. Are you acting religious but living without power? Are you loving the world more than Christ? This mes...

This week, Pastor David shares a powerful, Spirit-led message from Romans 8. If you’ve ever wrestled with shame, guilt, or a cycle of sin you can’t seem to break, this is for you. God’s Word declares that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. You are not powerless. You are not stuck. You are not condemned. You’ve been set free by the blood of Jesus and filled with the pow...

This week, guest speaker Kelly Workman dives into what it truly means to live the “full life” Jesus promises in John 10:10.

Through faith, the power of the Holy Spirit, and daily obedience, we can live a life that reflects God's goodness. If you’ve ever wondered how...

This week, we close out our Redeemed series with a powerful reminder: redemption is not the finish line—it’s the beginning of a life rooted in Christ.

When we remain in Him, He transforms us from the inside ou...

If you’ve been surviving spiritually, this message is your invitation to s...

In the final week of our Redeemed series, Pastor David brings a powerful message on what it means to not just be saved—but to truly belong. Many know God as Savior, but few trust Him as Father. Through the story of the prodigal son and Romans 8, we’re reminded that redemption means adoption—we are no longer spiritual orphans, but dearly loved children. If fear, shame, or broken trust has kept you...

In week 3 of our Redeemed series, Pastor David takes us to Mark 5, where a man broken beyond repair encounters Jesus—and everything changes. Jesus didn’t just rescue and redeem him—He restored and repurposed him to tell others. If you’ve been rescued by Jesus, you have a story that matters. This message will remind you that your testimony isn’t just personal—it’s powerful. You’ve been redeemed to...

In this message, Pastor David identifies three powerful courage killers that can derail your faith journey: unforeseen setbacks, personal failure, and betrayal. Through the stories of Job, Peter, and Joseph, we learn how to stay strong when life hits hard, when we mess up, and when people hurt us. Courage isn’t the absence of pain—it’s choosing to trust God in the middle of it. If you’ve been temp...

This week in our Courageous series, Pastor David exposes the four traps of discouragement that can steal our confidence and crush our spirits: distress, dejection, danger, and discord. Pastor David shows us how anxiety, depression, fear, and division don’t have to define our lives—but through prayer, God’s promises, and persistence, we can rise above it all.

This week, we continue our Courageous series by looking at the life of Daniel and the three keys to living with courage: integrity, prayer, and faith.
