Lake Murray BC Podcast

Transformation begins with a surrendered heart. Like Hannah, our deepest prayers can become the starting point of God's greatest work.

In this episode, we dive into the powerful story of Saul's journey to becoming Paul in Acts 9. Discover how God's grace can redirect our path, renew our identity, and call us into His purpose. No one is beyond the reach of God's transforming power.

Abram left everything familiar to follow God's call, not because he knew the destination, but because he trusted the One leading him. His story reminds us that faith isn't having all the answers; it's choosing obedience when the path is still unfolding.

In Joshua 24, Joshua challenges God's people to make a clear choice: whom will you serve? After recounting God's faithfulness throughout Israel's history, Joshua calls the nation to wholehearted devotion and unwavering commitment to the Lord. God's goodness, provision, and faithfulness deserve more than occasional acknowledgment, they deserve faithful service. As Joshua declare...

God’s faithfulness isn’t occasional—it’s constant. In Joshua 20–21, we see that every promise God made to His people came to pass. Through cities of refuge, provision for the Levites, and fulfilled promises, God demonstrates His care, protection, and provision. Listen as we explore how the same faithful God continues to provide for His people today.

Biblical unity is more than agreement—it’s a commitment to walk together in grace and truth. As Joshua sends the eastern tribes home, we see a picture of faithfulness, encouragement, and shared purpose among God’s people. Join us as we consider how the gospel calls believers to pursue unity without compromising truth.

As Joshua nears the end of his life, he gives Israel a final reminder: remember the Lord and remain faithful to Him. In a world full of distractions, God’s people must continually return to what matters most. Listen as we reflect on Joshua’s farewell challenge and the importance of wholehearted devotion to God.

Wholehearted devotion still has a reward. In Book of Joshua chapter 14, Caleb stands as a testimony that God honors those who fully follow Him. While others wandered in fear, Caleb remained faithful—and decades later, God fulfilled every promise. Don’t grow weary in your waiting season. The same God who kept Caleb is still blessing wholehearted devotion today. 

In this episode, we dive into Book of Joshua chapter 11 and the reminder that every promise of God requires a response. Joshua obeyed, and God remained faithful through every battle. The same question stands for us today: What is God calling you to do, and how will you respond? 

Joshua 10 reminds us that God is able to do more than we think. What looked impossible on the battlefield became a testimony of God’s power and faithfulness. The same God who made the sun stand still is still working in ways beyond what we can imagine. Trust Him even when the odds seem impossible. We are reminded of this as we begin our Forward Together initiative. For details on the expansion pro...

Obedience changes everything. In Book of Joshua chapter 8, the difference between defeat and victory was not strength. It was alignment with God’s instruction. When Joshua followed God’s strategy fully, what once brought loss became a place of triumph. This message reminds us that partial obedience leads to frustration, but surrendered obedience opens the door to purpose, clarity, and breakthrough...

When God’s people disobey, they experience defeat—not because God abandons them, but because He is calling them back. Joshua 7 reminds us that hidden sin blocks forward progress, but surrender restores it.

In Joshua 6, we see that obedience, even when it doesn’t make sense, leads to breakthrough. What walls in your life is God asking you to walk around, trust Him with, and watch Him bring down?

Joshua 5:1–12 reminds us that before stepping into promise, God calls us back to Him. The Israelites had just crossed into the land—but before any battle, God told them to consecrate themselves, renew covenant, and remember. They were marked again, they kept Passover, and the manna stopped. The old season ended, and a new one began. Don’t forget who you are. You are set apart. And God doesn’t just...

Sometimes the greatest act of faith is stepping forward before the water moves. In Joshua 3–4, the priests step into the Jordan before it parts, and God makes a way for an entire nation. But God didn’t want the moment to be forgotten—He told them to gather stones from the river and build a memorial so they would always remember what He had done. When we remember God’s faithfulness in the past, it...

In Book of Joshua 2, Rahab’s story reminds us that a broken past doesn’t disqualify you from a faithful future. When everything was on the line, she chose to trust God instead of clinging to what felt safe. When you mess up, do you run from Him in shame—or run to Him in surrender? Is your confidence in yourself, or in Jesus Christ who saves?

We’re beginning a new sermon series through the book of Joshua, starting in Joshua 1:1–9. As Joshua steps into a new season after Moses’ death, God reminds him to be strong and courageous—and promises, “I am with you wherever you go.” In this message, we’re reminded that the same God who was with Joshua is with us in every transition and challenge. Step forward in faith, because God is with us.

A disciple isn’t just someone who believes — it’s someone who follows. Someone who learns from Jesus, lives like Jesus, and leads others to Jesus. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” — Gospel of Matthew 22:37 That’s where discipleship begins — wholehearted love for God. And from that love, everything flows. We make disciples who love, grow, ser...

This week’s message from Gospel of John 15:1–11 reminded us that Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. Apart from Him, we can do nothing — but when we abide in Him, we bear much fruit. We hated missing everyone in person because disciples don’t grow in isolation. We grow in community . We grow when we stay connected — to Christ and to each other.

God has uniquely gifted each of us — not for our spotlight, but for His glory and the building up of His church. Every gift matters. Every role counts. Every believer is called. A disciple serves using their gifts.  Tune in to this week’s message and discover how the Spirit has equipped you to make a difference.

In Acts 1, Jesus reminds His disciples that they will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes — and they will be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. Disciples of Jesus don’t go in their own strength. We go with the power of the Spirit and the hope of the gospel.  Tune in to this week’s sermon and be reminded: we are sent.

We kick off a new sermon series called ONE. ONE gospel, ONE vision, ONE church. What does it look like to be a church shaped by the power of the gospel and the renewal of our minds? In this message, we anchor our vision in Romans 1:16 and Romans 12:2—unashamed of the gospel that saves, and committed to lives transformed rather than conformed. 

On a holy night, light entered the darkness. This Christmas Eve, we reflect on the hope of Christ that still shines today

In this episode, we hear from Lay Elder Justin Koon as we reflect on Psalm 139, praising God who knows our hearts, discerns our thoughts, and graciously leads us in the everlasting way.
