Ep # 93 Abortion, Life and the Authority of God: A Biblical Case for the Sanctity of Human Life 18.01.2026 30:03
Is human life defined by government, science, or culture… or by God? In this powerful and biblically grounded message, we examine the Sanctity of Human Life through Scripture, history, and theology. From the founding truths expressed in the Declaration of Independence to the clear teaching of the Bible, this message confronts one of the most critical moral issues of our time: the value of life bef...
Ep # 92 Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 11.01.2026 26:17
Did humans evolve from nothing… or were we intentionally designed? Is the human body really simple enough to be the product of chance, or does science point to something far greater? And what does the Bible say about the origin and purpose of humanity? Could Scripture actually align with modern discoveries about the complexity of the human body? In this message, Gary Froiland examines both science...
Ep # 91 Hindered Prayers 04.01.2026 30:44
Countless people today struggle with praying. Perhaps not the actual act, and perhaps not the faith in the request itself, but when there appears to be silence in response. Nothing. As if God doesn't care, or at the very least, isn't listening. And it may shock you to hear this, but the Bible does tell us that prayers can be delayed. But how? Today, Jim Barnhart takes us to 1 Peter 3, wher...
Ep #90 Now What: Resolution or Revolution 29.12.2025 27:24
As one year closes and another begins, many of us are left with a familiar question… Now what? Is this season about making better resolutions, or is God calling us to something far deeper? In this message, we pause at the turning of the year to examine not just what we want to change, but who we have been becoming. A year is more than dates on a calendar; it is a collection of habits, reactions, p...
Ep # 89 Christmas from Different Eyes 25.12.2025 18:40
Tonight, we experience the Christmas story from a different perspective. We journey back over 2,000 years to the small, quiet town of Bethlehem and meet Eleazer ben Ashur, a humble innkeeper living an ordinary life in an unremarkable place. But through his eyes, we witness one extraordinary night: an interruption to the ordinary that would change his world, and the world, forever. Join us as we ex...
Ep # 88 Keep Christ in Christmas 21.12.2025 29:28
We all know there is division in today’s world. All one needs to do is look at the political climate in America to see it clearly. But how does that affect our calling to fulfill the Great Commission? Today, Donn takes us into the writings of the Apostle Paul, starting in the book of Philippians, to help us examine what may need to change in our own perspective if we truly want to be used by God....
Ep #87 Joy to the World 14.12.2025 25:46
Joy to the World, the Lord is come! We have heard and often sing these lyrics during the Christmas season, but did you know it has nothing to do with Christmas?! Today, Gary Froiland returns and we take a look at what is behind this famous song, but also some of the reasons we have to be joyful in this season. From the beginning of time, until the end of days, Gary shows us some of the many joys w...
Ep # 86 Prayer that Moves Mountains 08.12.2025 31:06
Donn returns with a continuation into our look into prayer, and what it really involves. We all find ourselves praying. Often to God about what is going on in our lives, or for things that we hope He will use His power to alter, but have you ever really understood the tapping of power that our prayer really can achieve? What does it mean to pray in accordance of the Will of God? And what can that...
Ep # 85 The Despot: The Testimony of Nebuchadnezzar 30.11.2025 29:59
Today we step into one of the most shocking and fascinating chapters in the entire Bible: a testimony written by a brutal pagan king. Nebuchadnezzar was the most powerful man on earth… until God humbled him in a way the world had never seen. What happened to him? Why did God bring him so low? And what does his story reveal about our pride, our lives, and the God who rules over kings and nations? D...
Ep #84 Why Does God Allow Evil? 23.11.2025 27:13
In today’s message, we walk through one of the hardest questions Christians face with Scripture, honesty, and real hope: Why does a good God allow evil, suffering, and tragedy? The journey begins with the powerful true story of Horatio Spafford, a man who lost nearly everything and still wrote the hymn It Is Well with My Soul. From there, we turn to Genesis, the fall, and the spiritual realities b...
Ep # 83 10 Commandments # 9 & 10 16.11.2025 28:16
As we wrap up our walk through the Ten Commandments: today we look at the final two: “Do Not Lie” and “Do Not Covet.” These aren’t just ancient rules carved into stone: they speak directly into the world we’re living in right now. Commandment 9 reminds us how serious God is about truth. Scripture draws a sharp line between the God of truth and the father of lies: and our culture is full of example...
Ep #82 10 Commandments # 7 & 8 09.11.2025 29:40
Today we continue our walk through the Ten Commandments with Commandment #7: “You shall not commit adultery” and Commandment #8: “You shall not steal.” These two short commandments carry powerful truths that reach deep into the heart of human behavior. We explore how God designed marriage as a sacred covenant, how sexual purity reflects our devotion to Him, and with examples from Scripture that sh...
Ep #81 Thankful Worship 03.11.2025 32:01
During the month of November, we naturally think about thankfulness. But for believers, gratitude shouldn’t just be seasonal, it should be continual! Psalm 100 is known as a Psalm of Thanksgiving, and it calls us to shout joyfully to the Lord, serve Him with gladness, and come before Him with thanksgiving. But how can we do that when life doesn’t always feel thankful? What does it really mean to w...
Ep #80 To You, He is Precious 26.10.2025 37:10
Jim Barnhart returns with a powerful message from 1 Peter 2:4–10, reminding us that Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone. But what does that really mean? To truly understand, we look back at the ancient construction practice of laying a cornerstone: the very first and most important stone that determined the stability and alignment of the entire structure. In the same way, Jesus is our foundation — stro...
Ep #79 Teach Us to Persevere 19.10.2025 26:24
Have you ever prayed and felt like God wasn’t listening? In this follow-up to “Teach Us to Pray,” Donn Schroeder explores Jesus’ parable in Luke 18: the story of a persistent widow and a corrupt judge. Through this powerful message, Donn reveals what Jesus was teaching about faith, persistence, and the heart of God. What do we do when our prayers go unanswered? Should we give up… or press on? Join...
Ep # 78 10 Commandments # 5 & 6 12.10.2025 34:32
Gary returns to continue his in-depth teaching series on The Ten Commandments! This week we unpack Commandment #5: “Honor Your Father and Mother” and Commandment #6: “You Shall Not Murder.” What does it really mean to honor your parents? Especially in today’s world? Is this commandment only for kids, or does it extend to beyond youth? Then we tackle one of the most debated commandments: “You shall...
Ep # 77 Teach Me to Pray 05.10.2025 30:31
Most of us have probably recited what is called "The Lord's Prayer" But have you ever stopped and thought about what it is saying? And did you realize that this wasn't just a quaint prayer muttered by someone in the Bible, but was actually spoken by Jesus as an answer to a question on how to pray? With that insight, The Lord's Prayer as a guide to prayer, it takes on a whole new meaning, and today...
Ep #76 Rapture and the Second Coming 28.09.2025 28:47
Many Christians are confused when it comes to Christ’s return. Is the Rapture the same event as the Second Coming, or are they two different moments in God’s prophetic timeline? In this message, we open Scripture to uncover the differences between these two great events. Along the way, we’ll look at typologies like Enoch before the flood, Israel preserved through tribulation, and Noah’s deliveranc...
Ep #75 10 Commandments 3 & 4 22.09.2025 32:45
In this message, we continue our journey through the Ten Commandments, looking closely at Commandments 3 and 4. The 3rd Commandment: “Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.” What does this really mean? Is it really that big of deal? Gary explores this, including some speech that falls into this category that may surprise you! The 4th Commandment: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it h...
Ep #74 Tragedy and the Christian Response 14.09.2025 38:15
How should Christians respond when tragedy strikes? In this message, we look at the heartbreaking loss of Charlie Kirk and the larger question of how followers of Christ are to face suffering, grief, fear, and anger. Scripture reminds us that tragedy is not the end of the story, and that God’s promises stand even in the darkest valleys. Through biblical truth and real-life reflection, this message...
Ep #73 10 Commandments # 1 & 2 14.09.2025 28:47
Gary Froiland returns today and begins his teaching on the famous 10 Commandments beginning with Commandment Number 1 and 2. Digging into the commandments may have some surprises for you today however. Today we don't just look into the meaning and context behind the first and second commandments, but learn that some CHANGE the commandments to allow for some surprising practices in their church...
Ep #72 Fellowship and the Church 31.08.2025 19:19
Why does fellowship matter? Why should we gather as the church? Is the day of worship—Saturday, Sunday, or even Wednesday what really matters, or is there something deeper? In this message we explore what God’s Word says about the importance of gathering together as believers. Using relatable and powerful illustrations, Al helps us discover why God designed us for community, not isolation. Today w...
Ep #71 Complaint to Contribution 24.08.2025 31:50
We all know someone who complains about everything, and if we’re honest, sometimes that person is us. Complaining might feel small, but it can rob us of joy, damage relationships, and even blind us to God’s blessings. In this message we’ll look at what Scripture says about the dangers of a complaining spirit and discover how to replace grumbling with gratitude. Through real-life studies, biblical...
Ep #70 One Wrong Step 17.08.2025 36:19
On September 23, 1908, a rookie baseball player named Fred Merkle made one small mistake that changed the course of baseball history. In this message, we explore how one wrong step can have eternal consequences. Many people today think salvation depends on baptism, good works, or religious rituals, but what does God’s Word actually say? Is faith in Jesus truly enough? Today, Josh takes a look at p...
Ep #69 Introduction to the 10 Commandments 10.08.2025 19:50
The Ten Commandments… you’ve heard of them, you’ve probably seen them on plaques or in movies, but do you really know their history? And why, thousands of years later, are they still the subject of debate and controversy—especially here in the United States, the so-called “land of the free”? In this powerful new multi-week series, Gary Froiland takes us back to the origins of one of the most famou...
