Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. By faith, Mary received the word from the Lord and submitted herself to the call of God. The scripture says she's magnified the Lord. Doing God's will on the journey of life comes with great joy and with difficulty. It is important to magnify the Lord. Some people have a small God and a big problem, while others have a big God and small problems...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Knowing who we are in Christ is pivotal to walking in our true identity as a believer. When we are born again, we become a part of the New Creation race of people who live out Galatians 2:20 - "It's no longer I who live but Christ living His life in me” 

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Understanding our true identity in Christ requires that we understand the Law of Identification. The Law of Identification reveals what God did in Christ for us, from the time He went to the cross until He sat down at the right hand of the Father. Christ became one with us in sin, that we might become one with Him in righteousness. He became as...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We’re living in a time when society is plagued by an identity crisis. This is driven by rapid technological change, social media comparison, weakening communal ties, the shifting of traditional roles and sexual confusion leaving many feeling anxious, confused and questioning their purpose. Now more than ever it is vital that people understand th...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Jesus predicted 6-times that He would die and be raised from the dead on the third day. The three days that encapsulate Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection are the most important three days in history. They were three days that changed the world for eternity.

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. On Palm Sunday, Jesus did not just make an entrance. He made a declaration. Every element of this was a message to those who had eyes to see. Unfortunately, so many in the crowd did not have eyes to see and missed the moment. What a reminder to us that even we can miss key God moments because we're too busy or blind to see them. Proximity to Jes...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We are living in a moment no generation has ever experienced before. We wake up, and before our feet hit the floor—we check our phones. We go to bed, and the last thing we see is a glowing screen. We are constantly connected… yet often deeply distracted. Constantly informed… yet spiritually drained. Constantly scrolling… yet rarely still. This i...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The US Surgeon General has officially declared "loneliness" as a public health emergency. Technology has connected us more than ever before and disconnected us into lives of isolation. We were never meant to do life alone. There is a basic human need for community. God designed us to need His supernatural presence and the natural presence of oth...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We live in an age of increasing disembodiment. We can order groceries without leaving the house, attend church through a screen and fall in love through an app. We are more connected than at any point in human history, and yet more disconnected leaving people to feel more hollow, more distracted, more breathless than ever before. This is why it...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Story of Queen Esther being used by God to saver her people from genocide is celebrated in the Jewish Festival of Purim. Esther is the only book of the Bible in which the name "God" is not mentioned. This is a great reminder that even when we cannot see or sense God, He is always at work in the background shaping circumstances and events for...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. We must trust God and His work in our lives. He is always working things out for our good. It is encouraging to know that God works miracles for us even the ones that do not make sense. 

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Spirit and Truth are never in conflict. The ministry of the Spirit and the Truth of God’s Word combine to create a powerful force in the lives of God’s people when heeded. As the Spirit leads us in accordance to God's word, we must pay careful attention not to heed the witness of our own desires or the witness of others. It is the witness of the...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus mentioned 4 kinds of soils that receive the seed of God's word. Jesus said only the good ground produced a harvest of some 30, 60 and 100 fold. This is a great parallel to the game of life. We must examine ourselves to discover what kind of receiver we are going to be. Are we the intercepted, the butter-finger,...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Book of Acts ends with Paul's first detainment in Rome. Luke provides no sequel to Acts, but we know from Church history and scriptural references that Paul was acquitted by Emperor Nero. This allowed Paul to embark on his 4th Missionary Journey to Spain. We can learn from Paul's life important elements to growth and expansion. Even while in...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Apostle Paul's ministry in Ephesus provides important insights on growth and expansion. As his ministry in the region grew in size and impact, he protected the momentum with strategic shifts and by moving with urgency. As we hunger for growth, we must be willing to make shifts along the way and operate with urgency in order to expand.

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Expansion requires action and action requires growth. As long as we remain settled in our traditions, routines and comfort zones we will never move beyond our circumstances. We must be willing to grow beyond ourselves, grow beyond our comfort levels and grow beyond in prayer in order for God's ability to empower us for supernatural results. 

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In the beginning of the Old Testament, God commanded the first man Adam to multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. In the beginning of the New Testament, Jesus told the first believers to spread the gospel to all of the world. God is a God of increase and expansion and that mandate has fallen to us today. We must move beyond the present to conti...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The baby Jesus lying in a manger in our traditional nativity sets should be a reminder to us all that Jesus is the gift. As the Angels declared on the night of His birth - "Peace on earth, goodwill toward all men." Jesus is the one gift we're meant to give away. 

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. What makes Mary & Jospeh's story so powerful is the fact that in the face of the unknown, the costly, and the risky they found the courage to say, "Yes, Lord." Their testimony reminds us today that when we say "Yes" to God's plans it empowers ordinary people to do extraordinary things! 

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. The Wisemen's long journey from the East to find the King of the Jews and worship Him with gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh demonstrated their hearts. This cuts through to us today in our modern world. We must give our Time, our Love, our Resources, our Patience and our Talents, but most of all we must give Him our hearts. It's the one gift...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Jesus is the Good Shepherd and He came to gather His flock. He doesn’t just welcome the well-behaved sheep, but He also seeks out the messy ones, the loud ones and the ones who wander off. Jesus knows His sheep. This means we are not a face in the crowd, He knows us by name. He knows where we tend to wander and seeks us out to lift us up and car...

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Gratitude is a lifestyle that. must be developed and continually fostered in our lives. We are commanded in scripture to "give thanks in all things." The scripture provides us with the Guide To Gratitude to help us turn Thanksgiving into ThanksLiving. 

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In the busyness of life and the holiday season, we often fail to stop and make room for wonder. The Nativity reminds us that Jesus doesn't need a spotlight. He only needed a manger. So often we look for God to move in dramatic ways. He is a God who still thunders and works miracles. He is also the God who speaks in the still small voice. We must...

The call to follow Jesus distinguishes and marks an individual for discipleship. When the Master calls the disciple follows, just as Peter did when he laid down his nets and Matthew closed his tax office to follow Jesus. The Lord is calling us with those two powerful words - Follow Me. 

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Hebrews 11:1 begins with these three words - "Now faith is." Faith does not live in someday, it lives in today. Faith is the hand in the Spirit that reaches out and lays hold of what God has given us. This means that Faith is not waiting for the heavens to open up. It receives now what has been made available to us. Faith is not a future event -...
