Lineage Church Podcast

Do you know the Good Shepherd? One of the most beautiful descriptions of the Jesus as the Good Shepherd in God's Word is found in Psalm 23. He wants to know you intimately and bless your life.

Because you have Jesus, you will have influence wherever you go. Pastor Randy shares a message on being salt and light in your world, and Pastor Ryan shares the strategy behind Easter at Lineage this year.

The person of Jesus is what happens when light slows down and takes on mass; He becomes the corrective lens to show us what life should look like. Jesus takes us from being formless to formed, empty to fulfilled, and from darkness to light.

What do you have in your hand? Like we see in John 6, Jesus can use even a little (5 loaves of bread and 2 fish) to bless thousands of people. God wants to use what's in your hand to fill spiritual deficiencies in your world.

The greatest resources in life are our relationships. You were designed for community! Pastor Randy closes our series, "Death To Selfie" by talking about the importance of having real relationships in your life where you can experience healing and freedom.

Who's the authority in your life? How you perceive who's in charge of your life informs your identity. Pastor Ryan exposes 5 lies the devil wants you to believe about God's character and authority in your life.

Jesus charges us in Luke 17 to live counter-culturally by extending forgiveness towards those who have offended us; because forgiveness breaks the cycle of a broken world.

What happens when the 21 days of prayer and fasting are over? Pastor Ryan shares 5 key insights on how to continue to build a life of prayer on day 22 and beyond.

This week, we take a look at the dramatic encounter that Paul has with Jesus [Acts 9] and how it changed his life forever. We are reminded, that under the right conditions, the things that seem dead in your life can come alive-- and even flourish!

Prayer isn't about God moving toward us; prayer is about us moving toward God. To kick off 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, Pastor Ryan unpacks a template for prayer found in the Old Testament. We encourage you to pray this way every day for the 21 days and beyond!

Life is short. And the longer we walk with God, the more we need the fundamentals. We're kicking off the new year with a focus on the habit of prayer, and asking God to teach us how to use our time wisely.

This week, we take a look at the Christmas story according to Rahab the prostitute, found in the book of Joshua. The theme? God has drawn near to those who have drawn away.

Pastor Ryan kicks off the season by focusing on worship through generosity as we culminate this year's Legacy Offering. CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICES: Oceanside - 3pm Cocoa West - 3pm / 4:30pm / 6pm

This week to prepare for the Legacy Offering, Pastor Ryan talks about the motivation behind our generosity. "If one first gives himself to the Lord, all other giving is easy." [Jon Bonnell]

After we are reached with the Good News of Christ, connect with other believers, and grow in our faith, Jesus tells us to GO! You are called to make a difference in your world, beyond, and together, in the whole world.

This week, Pastor Ryan shared Part 2 of the “All That Matters” series to help us re-center our hearts on the value of connection. God never intended for us to walk through life alone, and He’s given all of us the desire and need for meaningful relationships. Life Groups give us the opportunity to go deeper in our relationships, to be honest, to identify our blind spots, and to realize our God- giv...

If God answered all of your prayers, would it change the world or just change you? In part 1 of All That Matters, Pastor Ryan unpacks what it looks like to be on assignment to reach people for Jesus.

This week, Pastor Ryan concluded "The Daniel Dilemma" series by teaching us how to love well in today’s culture. A key part of living like Jesus is loving those around us. Without love, nothing we say or do can have the long-term, positive impact we desire. So, how do we love those around us when our culture and beliefs look so different?

This week, Pastor Ryan walked us through Daniel chapters 3 & 6. There we discover the value of standing firm in our worship. Thankfully, the enemy Satan has not changed his strategy and therefore it is easy to see when he is working against us. His goal is to shape our worship or prevent it all together. With that insight we take a cue from Daniel and his friends in remaining firm in the worship o...

This week Pastor Ryan introduced the "Babylon Mentality." Babylon is the physical setting for the book of Daniel, but it is also a mindset. So, how do we restore order and sanity in our lives? We lift up God, acknowledge His grace and authority, and humble ourselves before Him.

As we walk through our daily lives, it can feel like we are constantly battered with competing messages through our televisions, radios, social media, and even our friends and family. So how do we navigate a culture that is constantly shifting its core values? Through Daniel, we learn that when culture shifts, we need to know who we are, reaffirm our convictions, and respond.

We all desire to make a difference in our own world. The secret to changing the world we live in is using our influence to make a difference for the Kingdom. In this message, we learned that we are all part of a sphere of influence that, if we leverage it properly, can literally change our world. Equipped with this understanding of God-given influence, we will all begin to make a difference and fi...

In part 3 of "Somehow I Manage", Pastor Ryan teaches we should aim to connect with our God-given purpose that He had in mind for us before we were created. With this in mind, we need to live by design, not by default. Our time on earth is short, and there is competition for our time and attention, so we need to live our lives on purpose.

When we look at finances as purely numbers, we see five basic laws of sound money management: earning, spending, saving, investing and giving. But to find hope and freedom in our finances, we need to understand that God sees beyond the numbers.

If you really want to know what someone is like, look at the friends they've chosen. This week is all about relationships and how the people closest to us determine who we become. Pastor Ryan outlines 3 meaningful relationships every Christian should have.
