Joy in the Midst of the Storm Podcast

We live in a country where many have fought for our rights to have an opportunity not only for equal rights but also for an abundant life. The beautiful thing about Christ is that He provides every person with this opportunity —an opportunity to be saved and so much more. Do we realize just how much God is offering each day we wake up?  Focus: Matthew 13:7  All Verses Covered: Matthew 13:16-17, Ps...

It doesn’t take long for us to stray from the path of God. Sometimes, it happens without us even realizing it until the Lord opens our eyes to ourselves. In tonight’s study, we’ll delve into how easy it is to fall into this trap, but more importantly, how we must arm ourselves and steer clear of these pitfalls in the future!  Focus: Galatians 1:6  All Verses Covered: Galatians 1:6, Isaiah 55:8, Ro...

From the beginning, God created man in His image. However, this image has been attacked, as we have been given an alternate view! We think of ourselves one way, while the Lord wants us to think another way. Ask yourself, do you see yourself in the image and likeness that God designed us to have?  Focus: Genesis 1:26  All Verses Covered: Genesis 1:26, 3:1-4, Romans 12:1-2  Original Air Date: June 1...

We talk a lot about God, and rightfully so; we ought to know Him! We also should know our adversary, the devil. Why? It’s simple; you don’t want to be tricked! If we can see the trap coming, we have the power to avoid it if we take the necessary actions. Don’t let anyone fool you!  Focus: Ephesians 6:11  All Verses Covered: Ephesians 6:11, Jude 1:5-7, John 5:39  Original Air Date: June 12, 2025  W...

Why are we here? What is the goal of life? Oftentimes, we get distracted and think it’s about a career, fame, making money, and starting a family. However, God has called us to walk in His ways and righteousness. This is the true purpose and meaning of life!   Focus: Luke 17:10  All Verses Covered: Matthew 22:36-40, 25:31-32,41-45  Original Air Date: June 05, 2025  Watch the Facebook Live Video he...

Who could forget God? I mean, everywhere we look, we see something He created, something He’s done, and will do! Somehow, we still can find ourselves in a place where we have forgotten the Lord and His commandments. Join us as we look at what has happened to others so we can avoid it happening to us!  Focus: Psalms 50:22  All Verses Covered: Psalms 50:17-20,22, Luke 12:15-20  Original Air Date: Ma...

Many things we seek in life come much later than we were hoping for. And although we’ve seen this happen before, we still find ourselves being frustrated and ready to throw in the towel. It’s only through the word of God that we find the strength to continue to have hope, especially after learning that, oftentimes, the blessings of God are simply delayed, not exactly denied!   Focus: Proverbs 13:1...

Fear resides in us all. It’s an emotion or thought that comes so naturally to us. While fear may protect us at times, as it pertains to God, it’s something that holds us back! Instead of reaching our full potential in Christ, fear binds us like a prisoner! Join us as we search the scriptures to see what the Lord says about this!  Focus: 2 Timothy 1:7  All Verses Covered: 2 Timothy 1:6-8, Luke 21:8...

Do you really know Christ? We live in a world and time where an enormous amount of people claim to know God and are spiritual or religious to some degree. Everyone has their own idea or thoughts about God…but do we really know Him? Do we know His judgments, His commandments, or His ways? We have an opportunity to know Him if we don’t!  Focus: Hosea 6:3  All Verses Covered: Hosea 5:6-7,15, 6:1-3  O...

Without controversy, we all desire to be blessed! It is also safe to say that we would all love to be blessed without any of the problems or struggles that come with it. As we continue to learn of the Lord, we will notice that there is a price to be paid for the blessings of God; no, they do not come free! If you disagree, let’s see what the word of God says, will you?  Focus: Genesis 3:22  All Ve...

Something I desire and, more importantly, need is more patience! Now I know what you’re thinking, “I know all about patience! I’ve heard this before!” But if you’re thinking this…that is exactly the point. It is through patience that God really begins to teach us lessons and blesses us! With patience, we reach new levels in Christ that we never would without it! Let’s work on our patience together...

We are presented with choices every day. In simplest terms, the choice is to do right or wrong in God's eyes. Many of these choices seem to present an upside with no downside at all! But one thing is for sure: God is watching!!! The choices we make always have consequences. So the next time you are faced with a decision to make, if you consider doing wrong, ask yourself, Is the Juice Worth the Squ...

Have you suffered and struggled? Sure, you have! Being a child of God, we’re told we must suffer persecutions and endure hardness as a good soldier. Although this place isn’t desirable, it’s necessary for us. We are becoming the children of God, becoming refined and tried by the fire….and when it’s all said and done, we will be victorious in Christ Jesus!  Focus: Luke 22:42  All Verses Covered: Lu...

Jesus told us about a famous parable: The Sower Sowing Seed. This one speaks to those who understand planting seeds and hoping for their offspring. Whether you have a green thumb or not, this parable has lessons for us all to learn if we will take heed. By the end of it, we should look at our surroundings and wonder, will the word of God grow within us?  Focus: Matthew 12:33  All Verses Covered: M...

We have a daily choice of whether to be truthful or to lie. As we continue on the journey of life, we are faced with situations where a lie seems easier and more beneficial to tell! This is an illusion, though, because the word of God tells us the dangers of telling and living a lie! The end for a liar is not pleasant! Don’t let this spirit consume you!  Focus: Revelation 21:8  All Verses Covered:...

Our brother Paul wrote many messages to the New Testament church. An Apostle sent to the Gentiles continued to encourage us not only to get saved but to remain saved! In our time, this type of message seems foreign because we feel that we are automatically saved after we first get saved. But as we continue to study the word of God through the writings of Paul as well as the entire Bible, this is n...

Before Jesus was crucified, He warned His disciples of what was to come. We find ourselves in the same situation tonight, being warned by God of the danger ahead, while also being assured that we can trust Him. When faced with trouble, how could we not be troubled?! Lord help us to have Joy in the Midst of the Storm!  Focus: John 14:1  All Verses Covered: John 14:1-3,26-27,29, 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 ...

When you really think about it, it is fascinating to see just how much God bears with us. The scripture declares that He has been reaching out to us all day long! Granted—— in that particular verse it is a reference to Israel. However, we fall into that same category as the Lord has been begging and pleading with us as well. Will we take heed to His word?  Focus: Romans 10:21  All Verses Covered:...

What’s something you hate more than anything? I’d imagine losing is high on the list if not at the top! Although it’s unpleasant to lose things, this is often the will of God. Losing has its place because after we have lost our fair share, God allows us to be victorious! We truly have to lose to win!  Focus: Philippians 3:8  All Verses Covered: Philippians 3:1,3-8, Mark 8:34-36, Job 42:10,12-13,15...
