Altars are a place of sacrifice. Jesus, the perfect and final sacrifice, fulfilled the requirements of the law. But we now bring a different sacrifice - ourselves.

We live in a culture obsessed with self-reliance. We celebrate the "self-made man." But this exactly the opposite message of the gospel. Only when we are weak, can we be strong in Jesus.

On this episode, we dive into what water baptism is and its significance in our salvation, repentance, and being filled with the Holy Spirit.

What is your part in God's greater plan? Nehemia saw a need and acted. His was a relatively small, but crucial part in God's large plan for Israel to be brought back into their promised land. In God's big plan what is your part? What's your wall?

Offenses will certainly come. They will certainly happen at some point in any meaningful relationship. But how do we handle offenses? How do we handle ourselves? Most people don't handle offense properly. But Jesus gives us clear instruction about how to handle offenses and restore relationship with one another.

What amazes Jesus? Your understanding of who Jesus is determines your level of faith or your level of unbelief. Both have the power to capture Jesus' attention.

There was one man who changed the entire world. Who was he? And now, what are we to do with him? Recorded Resurrection Sunday, 2023.

The Lord is with us. Do we know how significant a truth that is? Sometimes it doesn't feel that way, nor do we feel like we are a valiant warrior. But Jesus says we are. And we fight in His strength, not our own.

The church is more than a gathering of Christians. And your personal relationship with Jesus has great dependance on the corporate (church) relationship with Jesus. We take a look a deep look at Ephesians 4:1-16.

Holiness is our calling. It's a command. But how do we walk in holiness? 1 Peter 1 gives us a practical steps to walk an everyday holy lifestyle. 

You have your armor. You've fighting, but the war rages on and discouragement starts to set in. What do you do? 

You need to be an armorbearer. And you need an armorbearer. This message was recorded at WayLife's monthly collective. Forgive the lower quality audio quality. 

An in depth look at the armor of God described in Ephesians 6. 

The armor of God  is not something we simply take up and put down. God's weapons require strength, training, and understanding of God's mission.

Your battle is not your battle. It is the Lord's. But God requires us to come alongside Him in the fight rather than we expecting Him to come alongside us. Our obedience is the key to victory.

There is a purification coming to the church in 2023. God wants to teach us how to wage war not with Earthly weapons, but spiritual weapons that the world doesn't know or understand. As things heat up, God is calling his church to new levels of victory.

The gifts or the Giver? One person's gift or the gifts of the whole body? We dive into why we need to corporately have the "mind of Christ" when operating in the gifts of the Spirit and see the power of everyone exercising their gifts in cooperation with everyone else. 

Communion (The Lord's Supper) is more than a personal experience. It's a corporate one. In fact, it's more about our brothers and sisters in Christ than it is about us individually. We are many parts, but one body - the body of Christ. And communion is the expression and celebration of being His body. 

Is there more than having a personal relationship with Jesus? Yes, we are to have a corporate relationship with Jesus. When we are unified and work together as the body of Christ, the church is healthier and accomplishes more for the Kingdom of God. 

The words "In Jesus name" are not magic words we use to make our prayers works. We, His anointed and consecrated children, have been given authority to preach the gospel, heal the sick, and cast out demons. We are those under authority and channels of Jesus power!

God gives His anointed a new identity. This comes from being born again. The old is gone, the new has come. This new identity is not common. It's special. 

Anointing... It's a term we use a lot, but what does it mean? And what does it mean to be anointed? Take a deep dive into the old and new testament to understand what it is and why all born-again disciples of Jesus are anointed.
