Ignite City Church Podcast

Do you see others with the position of leadership that you wish that you had and therefore believe that you aren't really a leader? Have you been tempted to lead others at the expense of caring for those that you lead? We will look at these things in today's episode of our podcast as we look at a couple more things about leadership. If you're not part of the Bible reading plan for Ignite City Chur...

Have you noticed the number of resources available on the topic of leadership today? Podcasts. YouTube videos. Books. Seminars. TedTalks. Conferences. We are a culture that is consumed with the topic of leadership. Why? Because I believe everyone wants either to be a leader that people are willing to follow or want to follow leaders who are worth following. In this podcast episode, I share some th...

Are you guilty? Have you taken something or something and replaced God with that thing or person? Have you given someone else the place in your life that only God is able to fill and handle?

So often we can approach people and automatically jump to the conclusion that God is about us and against those that we are against. But what if it's not like that at all? Imagine hearing God tell you, "I'm not about your side. In fact, you're supposed to be about me and mine." This doesn't mean that God isn't for us (see Romans 8:31) because he is. He loves us and is not against us. But he is not...

John 8:12-13 Brian Holland

John 6:25-40 Brian Holland

Complaining seems to be a normal part of life - a form of self-expression or venting that we deem necessary for our health. And if not for that, we deem it our right to share whatever we want whenever we want. But is it right to complain? Is it necessary? Is it helpful? Is there a better way? In this episode, we look at the topic of complaining from the perspective of Numbers 11:1-3.  If you'...

When we read Leviticus 26 we see God promise blessings to the people of Israel if they would obey his commandments. However, he also promises discipline if they decide to disobey his commandments. So is God just an angry God who looks for opportunities to punish people, or is there something much deeper and more meaningful behind it? We will look at that in today's episode. If you're not part of t...

Do you find yourself asking God to bless where you're going more than asking God to lead where he wants you to go? We will be looking at that in this episode of the podcast as we look at the final verses of Exodus 40.

In Exodus 28-29 we see God making all of these requirements when it comes to priestly garments and the consecration of the priests so that they could serve before him. But why did he put all of these things in place? Was it so that we had a religion that we could follow, having priests and special robes and traditions that made us religious? I don't think so. I think there is something so much mor...

Exodus 20:18 | All the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sound of the ram’s horn, and the mountain surrounded by smoke. When the people saw it they trembled and stood at a distance.

"When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them along the road to the land of the Philistines, even though it was nearby; for God said, 'The people will change their minds and return to Egypt if they face war.'" - Exodus 13:17 (CSB) When you feel like things are taking longer than they should, When you feel like you're going in the wrong direction, When you feel like you know a quicker and...

"You are to keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; then the whole assembly of the community of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight." - Exodus 12:6 (CSB) The word "slaughter" is such a dark word. There's a sense of finality and destruction when it's used. And yet, when we look at the word and connect it to Isaiah 53:7 and John 10:18 , we are reminded of the limitless and unapolog...

If someone asked you how old you were, what would you say? Some love that question while others loathe it. But most of the time I would guess that we all simply say, "I'm ______" and then say our age. But what if we answered it a different way? What if we actually thought of our age as connected to the quality of our days instead of simply the length of them. What if we saw our lives as a pilgrima...

"Surely the LORD is in the place, and I did not know it." - Genesis 28:16 Do we rely on the experience of God's presence to know that he's with us or do we trust him when he says that he won't leave us? Is there a problem with wanting to experience his presence? We look at these things as well as why it's so important to BE SURE that we know that God is in this place, even when we aren't aware of...
