Pawhuska First Podcast

As we being this series on what lessons we can learn from Luke’s Gospel, we begin with Luke’s account of John the Baptist and his message of repentance. John boldly calls people to not rely on their ancestry, heritage, or occupations, but rather to place their faith in God and practice repentance. This is a sure message for us today as well! 

It is Resurrection Sunday! On this day we celebrate the moment that changed history collectively and changes our future individually. It is the day we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead! The Bible tells us in Ephesians that the Same Power that rose Jesus from the Dead is alive in us today. What does this mean and what does this mean for me? This sermon explores the implications of this truth and...

As we wrap up this series on learning to pray the way Jesus teaches us, we finish with making sure that as we pray we yield our hearts to Jesus. In a world that geared to be all about me, it’s important to realize that my life isn’t supposed to be about me…it’s supposed to be about Jesus. To Him belongs the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever! Amen!

As Christians we are constantly on the go and often pray for things and quickly move on. As we pray though, is this the kind of attention and intention that God would have from us, His children? This message explores prayer's power through persistence, confidence, and anticipation. By aligning our hearts with God's will, we learn to pray with genuine intentions, trust in His perfect timing, and ea...

As we continue to explore the Lord’s example of how we are to pray, we explore what it means to pray in repentance. We are all guilty of sin, and we have often thought of repentance as a change of action. Repentance will result in a change of action, but repentance is really a change of mindset. This message explores how we are to posture our hearts to truly pray in repentance before our God and g...

As Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He began with making sure they recognize that God is near and personal, but He is also holy! When we pray, not only should we pray with purpose, but part of that purpose is to recognize the holiness and awe of God. One way we pray with purpose is to intentionally recognize how great God is by praising Him! This message looks at just some of the ways we can ex...

We often pray, but do we pray in a way that is purposeful? Prayer is something we sometimes take for granted. It is also something that Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach them. Today, we too should seek to learn how to pray in the way that is meaningful and purposeful. This message helps to set the foundation of learning how to pray from the One who connects us with God through His life, death, b...

As we close our series looking at God’s Unified Church, we look specifically at how God is glorified through our unity and what that really means. As our world is growing in lostness, God’s Church needs to also grow in shining His glory for the lost world to see His hope. This message explores how a Unified Church best serves this purpose!

Disunity in our relationship with God and disunity in His Church comes when we lose focus on what truly matters the most. In order to be unified in Christ we must have a unified focus. This message challenges us to have a unified focus that leads to being a unified church!

One of the greatest dangers to the Church is strife and disunity. In His high priestly prayer, Jesus prayed for His followers to be unified in Him just as He was unified with the Father. This message explores this prayer and challenges us to be The Unified Church.

So many times, Christians talk about trusting God, but talk is cheap. Our lives need to reflect a trust in God. Our lives need to reflect a transformational relationship with Jesus that comes with devoting ourselves to knowing Him and following His Word. This message explores how God uses His Word to equip us!

We have a serious problem with a streak of rebellion that runs in our hearts. We are in desperate need of God to show us how to walk with Him and give us the correction we need. This message explores these realities and helps us to see why we need to embrace God’s Instruction For Us.

We live in a world that pushes positive reinforcement in everything that we do. Everyone gets participation trophies. Everyone gets a title of affirmation. No one wants to point out faults, only highlight positives and make sure we are always coddled. But that is not how we are to address sin in our lives nor in the church! It’s okay to be grieved, as long as that grief leads us to repentance! God...

Far too often, we settle in our minds that the world around us is the way we experience it. That perception equals reality. But the truth is that our perception is limited and our reality is actually real. What is real, is God’s perspective. As Christians, God teaches us about reality and informs us about our lives and our world through His Word. This message explores the challenge to let God’s Wo...

The Bible is not just some religious book. It is God’s Word that has been divinely preserved for us through the Holy Spirit. All good and pleasing things come from God. This is especially true for His Word. God’s Word is an incredible blessing to us if we will seek to embrace His Word and grow closer to Him through His Word.

All too often we can be discouraged as Christians. We tend to let the culture, our circumstances, or our critics have influence on our lives. But as Christians we have new life. We don’t have to listen to the outside voices. We need to listen to Christ and be filled with the hope He gives. As we wrap up 2024 and enter into 2025, let us set our eyes on Christ and Let Go, Look Up, and Lean In so tha...

Sometimes it may feel like God is missing the memo on what we need in our lives, but from His perfect and holy perspective He is positioning us for where we need to be at just the right time. This message looks at the complicated birth of Jesus to show us the God really does know what He is doing and that we can trust Him!

Most reasonable people would prefer peace over calamity, serenity over strife. In Jesus, we find ultimate peace. Isaiah foretells of His coming and proclaims that He is the Prince of Peace. This message explores the reality of peace we find in Jesus and celebrates that peace we have in Him!

Life is often a grind. We often spend much time longing for things to get better. We long for a life that always seems to be just outside of our grasp. Is this what Jesus meant for us to experience in life? Is there more to life than just getting by? This message explores what it means to have life and to find gratitude in truly living!

As we continue our series looking at why we should be grateful for Jesus, we turn to one of John’s major themes: Truth. We can be grateful for Jesus being the truth. This message explores 3 of the reasons Jesus being truth evokes gratitude in our lives.

As we enter into the season where we reflect on the many blessings we have and express our gratitude, we should always live in gratitude for Jesus. This message is part of a series that explores why we can be grateful for Jesus as expresses that He is Himself the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

There is nothing new under the sun. This coming Tuesday is election day in America. As Christians, our allegiance to Christ alone. Therefore, the question remains, how are we as Christians to approach all of life, including election day? This message explores the Christians role and responsibility to Jesus in voting, in government, and in being a citizen of heaven and a citizen of America.

For many in the Church today, giving is considered a next level act of generosity for God. But the reality is, giving is obedience to God. He is the One who calls us to give, provides for us to give, and blesses us with the chance to worship Him through giving. This message explores how God works and moves through His people to accomplish His purposes in and through His people.
