God calls us to Himself, the most stable, certain, freeing place we can be. Yet when we encounter obstacles we sometimes hesitate to lead with faith and obedience to God. Dr. Dick Foth points us to Hebrews 11, using Abraham as an example of how we are to trust God through uncertainty. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The phrase "by faith" is repeated eighteen times in Hebrews 11. Sixteen of those are biographical — "by faith, Noah", "by faith, Moses", "by faith, Abraham". All of those "by faith" statements are as unique as Noah, Moses, and Abraham. The same is true of you. Listen as Pastor Mark unpacks how to cultivate faith with your fingerprint on it. Not your parent's faith. Not your pastor's faith but your...

What step of obedience is God prompting you to take by faith today? It is easy to understand life through what we can see with our physical eyes. However, we see examples from Moses for how to see by faith in God's wisdom and understand which is far greater than our understanding. Pastor Joel draws out four challenges from Moses' journey with the Israelites, to help us see our world through the ey...

Faith has no finish line—you never arrive. Faith is use it or lose it. If you don’t stretch your faith, it atrophies. How do you stretch? You believe God for greater things! The way you steward a miracle is by believing God for even bigger and better miracles. That’s how you go from faith to faith. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

God’s Spirit is not constricted by time and place. He reaches us in the deepest and farthest places. Though we sometimes get to do specific actions by the power of the Holy Spirit, we always get to be people who demonstrate the fruits of the Spirit in our character. Listen as Dr. Dick Foth illustrates, through stories, how we can consider this in our daily lives. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz c...

Faith is taking the first step before God reveals the second step. The first step is when and where miracles happen. Those are the days when decades happen. We often get stuck waiting for God to give us more information, but that’s when we need to go, set, ready! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We might feel our imperfections or difficulties disqualify us from being used powerfully by God, but the word of God reminds us that God’s Spirit often moves most powerfully in our weaknesses and difficult circumstances. He turns what we perceive as imperfections into powerful tools for His purpose. Listen as Pastor Collins uses the life of Joseph in Genesis as an example to illustrate this. Hoste...

What does it look like when the Holy Spirit shows up in your everyday life? Not just in the big moments, but in the normal ones too. Listen as Annie F. Downs bring us back to the first time we see the Holy Spirit in Genesis 1. She draws out how we can be more attentive to daily moments when God's Spirit is "hovering" over us.

Without the Holy Spirit, good luck! With the Holy Spirit? All bets are off and all things are possible! Not only is the Holy Spirit interceding for you, Jesus is advocating on your behalf. Two-thirds of the Trinity is interceding to the other third of the Trinity on your behalf. That’s where Holy Confidence comes from. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Before God does something through you, often times he will do something in you. Before Peter and John saw the lame man healed in Acts 3, Acts 2 happened. They sought the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room, and the Spirit showed up, filled them up and sent them out. Listen as Pastor Joel walks through the story in Acts 3 to unpack 6 challenges in following a Holy Spirit prompt. Hosted by Simplecast, an...

Anything less than Spirit-filled and Spirit-led is dead religion. The true adventure begins when we starting living the Spirit-led life. It’s anything but boring! The Spirit gives us revelation beyond human knowledge, anointing beyond human ability, and power beyond human strength. Without the Holy Spirit, most of us are below average. With the Holy Spirit, all things are possible! Hosted by Simpl...

When Jesus walked out of the tomb, the word impossible was deleted from the dictionary. All bets are off. All things are possible. Why? The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us! It’s only impossible until it isn’t. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

On Second Chance Sunday, we celebrate together the extravagant grace of God in giving each of us a second chance. We remember that each of us is a new creation. The person God created us to be is emerging through the work and power of the Holy Spirit. Listen as Heather Rice-Minus helps us remember how we can apply this same second chance perspective to our brothers and sisters who are in prison. H...

We’re often influence by the pain, offense and scars of the past. Sometimes it’s unconscious and sometimes we’re completely aware of it. How might this affect your relationship with God and others? Listen has Pastor Mark walks us through releasing this scar tissue through forgiving ourselves, others and reality itself. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for infor...

Have you ever believed that if you're in Christ you can avoid suffering? Regardless of how we lead our lives, suffering is a part of the Christian walk. However, our spiritual maturity can shift our perspective of suffering and allow more peace and joy to accompany us in the midst of it. Listen as Dr. Anita Phillips breaks down the restorative power of God through our suffering, when we have an et...

How do you respond when you're offended or face other troubles in life? As followers of Jesus we can rely on the Holy Spirit to help us respond to conflict differently than the world around us. So, how do we seek refuge in God in those moments of adversity? Listen as Pastor Mark teaches us how to brave our storms with wisdom. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Do you find yourself struggling to follow Jesus when your wounds are exposed? Join Dr. Curt Thompson as he shares how we find life when we see our wounds differently, identifying with Christ.

When is the last time you put on the garment of praise? Worship is singing back to the God who sings over us. It's how we harmonize with heaven and wage spiritual warfare. We see this example in Acts 16 when Paul and Silas were praying and singing in hymns and a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison, releasing them at once. Listen as Pastor Mark teaches five dimensions and definiti...

How intentional are you in your relationships? Intentionality helps us overcome the things that threaten to divide us from our loved ones.

Listen as Dr. Foth breaks down the "Relational Baseball Diamond" to help us thoughtfully consider what influences our relationships and uncover the power of your words and actions toward someone else.

How do we see people the way Jesus saw people? How do we see people for who they really are? How do we make people feel fully seen, fully heard, fully loved?
