In this message, we explore what it means to serve Christ with our whole heart through the lens of Colossians 3:23. Together we'll look at Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 about where our treasure truly is, examine the Parable of the Talents, and challenge ourselves to consider whether we're giving Christ our best—or simply what's left over. Following Jesus was never meant to be a...

We are beginning a brand-new study through the book of Acts. Before we jump into chapter 1, though, I want to spend some time looking back at the events that took place after Jesus' resurrection. We'll revisit the last part of Luke 24, John chapters 20 and 21, and then work our way into Acts chapter 1. As we do, we'll see Jesus appear to His disciples, give His final instructions, r...

In the final part of our study through the Sermon on the Mount, we conclude Jesus' greatest recorded sermon by examining Matthew 6:16 through 7:28. Jesus calls His followers to seek the Kingdom of God above earthly treasures, trust the Father instead of worrying, judge with humility, discern truth from error, and build their lives on the solid foundation of obedience to the Word of God. As th...

In Part 1, we examined the events leading up to the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus' opening words to His disciples. In this episode, we continue through Matthew 5 and into chapter 6 as Jesus addresses the Law, righteousness, prayer, fasting, and the condition of the human heart. Again and again, Jesus exposes the difference between outward religion and genuine obedience to God. His message cha...

Before Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, there was a path that led to it. In this episode, we examine Matthew chapters 3 and 4—the preparation, testing, and early ministry of Jesus that set the stage for one of the most important sermons ever preached. From the ministry of John the Baptist, to the baptism of Jesus, to His temptation in the wilderness and the calling of His first disciples, e...

“‘Jesus, You’re all I need.’  It sounds spiritual. It sounds passionate. It sounds worshipful.  But have we stopped to ask whether modern Christianity has become so centered on Jesus in isolation that many believers barely acknowledge the Father or the Holy Spirit anymore? The Bible does not reveal a disconnected Christ detached from the Father and the Spirit. Scripture reveals that  Father, Son,...

After one of the greatest victories of his life, Elijah ran. Not toward celebration. Not in confidence. But by fear into exhaustion, isolation, and despair. How does a man who just called down fire from heaven suddenly find himself hiding in a cave? And what do we do when fear, pressure, disappointment, or spiritual exhaustion make us want to run too? In this message we are going to walk through E...

If tomorrow the governments of the world stood before cameras and presented undeniable evidence of extraterrestrial life, it would not erase Genesis.  It would not dethrone Jesus Christ.  It would not invalidate the cross.  And it would not change the reality that salvation is found in Christ alone. The Bible has already withstood kingdoms, empires, philosophers, skeptics, dictators, revolutions,...

It’s a name that gets thrown around a lot—used in sermons, used to label people, even used to explain problems in the church. But here’s the question:  Is any of that actually biblical? In this episode, we’re putting that teaching under the authority of Scripture—not tradition, not assumption, not popular opinion. We’re going to walk through every Old Testament passage about Queen Jezebel, then go...

Nearly 2,000 years ago, something happened that changed everything—Jesus rose from the dead. In this episode, we walk through the events of that day and examine what Scripture reveals about the resurrection. Not just what happened, but what it means for us now. If Jesus is alive, then everything is different. The question is—do we truly understand what that means? Send us Fan Mail Support the show

From the garden of Gethsemane…  to the false accusations before the council…  to the scourging…  to the cross… This episode walks through the suffering of the Lord Jesus—not as a distant story, but as a living revelation of what forgiveness truly cost. There was a sound that echoed through it all. The sound of the hammer striking the nails that were driven into His hands and His feet. And in the m...

Where is Jesus the Healer today—and does Jesus still heal? What if what you believe about healing is the very thing holding you back from receiving it? This is Where Is Jesus the Healer —a fifteen-part series of in-depth, biblical teaching on God’s willingness to heal. In this episode, all fifteen parts are brought together into one comprehensive message. This is not surface-level teaching. It is...

In this second part we take a look at Noah, his family, and the call that God placed upon him. Noah was charged with one of the most difficult tasks that anyone has ever been called to perform, and what he had to endure was much more than building an ark.

In this new message series we are looking at changes of trajectory in the lives of some of the biggest names in scripture. In this first part we take a look at the book of Ruth. This book opens up with severe tragedies happening in the lives of Naomi and Ruth, but as the book progresses we see the Lord do amazing things in their journey that changes their path forever and ends in one of the greate...

The loss of someone you love or a marriage or a dream often times leaves people in a state of being broken-hearted. Things can happen to people that fracture them to the very core of who they are, and recovering can seem all but impossible. In this message we will explore the scripture to see how the Lord cares for those who suffer from a broken heart and how He wants to help them! Send us Fan Mai...

What happens when believers turn against one another—and what does the Bible say about it? “Blue on blue” is a term used to describe friendly fire—when those on the same side end up fighting each other. While it comes from a military context, the reality is this: we often see the same thing happening within the church today. Ministers attacking ministers. Churches divided against churches. Believe...

What does the ministry of Jesus Christ look like when you see it directly through Scripture? This episode is an audio reading of The Works of Jesus —a compilation drawn entirely from the Bible, presenting the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ through Scripture alone. This work is structured by Gospel and by category, with each passage organized by verse to give a clear and comprehensive view of wh...

What does the Bible say about bitterness—and how do we overcome it? At times, we all encounter situations that hurt deeply. When those moments are not handled rightly, they can lead to bitterness toward the people who caused the pain. Left unchecked, that bitterness can take root in the heart and begin to affect every area of life. But what does Scripture say about dealing with it? In this episode...

While many elements of the book of Jonah are widely known, some of its most important truths are often overlooked or misunderstood. In this episode, we take a clear and comprehensive look at the book of Jonah—examining what Scripture reveals about the prophet, his calling, and the events surrounding his life. We will look closely at key questions within the text, including Jonah’s role as a prophe...

In Scripture, we see that God has established order, instruction, and ways in which His people are to live—yet He also calls us into a true relationship with Him. In our time, it’s common to hear phrases like “it’s about relationship, not religion” or “Jesus hates religion,” often used to distance from hypocrisy or outward forms of faith. But what happens when we examine these ideas in light of Sc...

Healing is a fantastic thing, and thank God for it, but ultimately to live a life of health is Gods best for us. In today’s world, (and in the church) we are taught that sickness and diseases are something that just can’t be avoided most of the time.  Does scripture have a position on the matter?   Let's find out!

One of the greatest misconceptions there is in the church is that there were not multiple means and methods by which healing was distributed in the ministry of the Lord Jesus. It would seem that many have the thought that He just spoke or waived His hand and that’s how everyone was healed, but the truth is there are several different ways that Jesus healed people in the gospels. In this message we...

One of the paramount things that we should understand about our faith is how important it can be in others receiving the healing or the assistance they need from the Lord. Many times throughout the course of life our faith can turn the tide of situations for others that we join with and pray for. As we will see in texts we analyze today, healing can be distributed and received based solely on the...

At different times during the Lord Jesus' ministry He told some people that their faith made them well. If those peoples faith made them well, our faith can make us well. But what is faith? Let's find out! Send us Fan Mail Support the show

Amongst circles of those who teach on the topic of divine healing, the message is taught and preached that Jesus was scourged to "pay" for our physical healing, but is this right in the light of the scripture? Many use Isaiah 53:5 and 1Peter 2:24 as the proverbial smoking gun proving that Jesus did have to pay for our healing, but does this stand up in light of thorough analysis of scrip...
