Zion Podcast

Have you ever heard a song that resonated with you so much that it brought you to tears? Do you remember the time and place that you first heard it? You probably still know all the words.  What makes one song different than the other? In this episode, you will find that music is powerful. This week at Zion, Pastor Brandon Block teaches us in Luke Chapter 1 about the Virgin Mary. Amidst the trouble...

This week at Zion, we welcome you to join us in celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ!! In this episode, you will discover the story of Jesus' birth from our Pastor Brandon Block as he unfolds the true meaning of Christmas. Tune in to this episode to find out more. . .

God's grace never fails to find us in our darkest places. It takes the worst that's happened to us, and turns it into the best thing for us. In 2 Samuel we see Mephibosheth, a crippled son of Jonathan, is shown God's kindness by David. Mephibosheth's life completely turned around after being disabled at 5 years old, to being given all of his grandfather's land. This week a...

What does God want? Well, His desire was never to have a list of "how to's" to be in His presence. From Moses' Ten Commandments to the Tabernacle, His desire was always to be close to His people. David knew this even before Jesus came to Earth and created a tent where everyone could constantly be in prayer and worship to God. This week at Zion, Pastor Brandon preaches in Acts 1...

Every time that God makes a covenant with His people in scripture, there are always four things present. There is always a promise, terms, a promise, and a seal. This seal is always something you can see. It's an indicating factor that a covenant has been set in stone. This week at Zion, Pastor Allison dives into Acts 15 and shares with us a story about a debate between the new and old covena...

This week at Zion, we continue in Acts 14 where Paul and Barnabas return to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch after Paul and stoned in Lystra. There they strengthen and encourage their new disciples by telling them, "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God" in verse 22. At first, it might seem difficult to understand why this might be encouraging. After all, Paul and Bar...

Have you ever been in a situation where there was a barrier of communication between you and the person that you were talking to? Do you remember how difficult it was to get your point across? In Acts 14 Paul and Barnabas are in Lystra and their viewpoints are so different that it almost gets them killed. After being stoned and dragged outside of the city, they still get up and continue their mini...

The world has always been good at creating artificial solutions for our broken issues. And throughout our history, very few things have created permanent resolutions. In the same way that even our street lights are creating light pollution in the sky, we've polluted our own lives with a spiritual, artificial light that wasn't God's design. In this week's episode at Zion, Pastor...

This week at Zion, as we take communion we remember the indescribable grace that was bought by Jesus Christ. In the book of Acts, Paul and Barnabas speak to the Gentiles after their message of salvation is rejected by the Jews. In Acts 13:47 it says, "‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth." This is God's commandment to Paul...

As Christ followers, we carry thousands of years of history as evidence that we are the people that God desires to prosper. In Acts 13, as Paul is teaching in the synagogue to Jews on the sabbath day, he reminds them of their history and how after David, there would come a savior. In verse 32 he says, "What God promised our ancestors, He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jes...

This week at Zion, we took a detour from our Acts series to let God move in the lives of His people. As Pastor Brandon followed the voice of the Holy Spirit, God showed up in a powerful way that healed 26 people, the exact number prayed for prior to service. In this episode, not only will you discover that God honors specific prayers, but you might find yourself relating to one of the words of kno...

Over the past few weeks at Zion, we've heard that there are dark forces and principalities worldwide. But where in the Bible can we see how it affects us? In Daniel 10:13, we see that an angel is resisted from answering Daniel to give him answers to his prayers. In this text, it says that "the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days."  The reality of the spiritual...

The past few weeks at Zion, Pastor Brandon Block has taught us about the Spiritual Warfare on Earth.  Although these spiritual forces wage war with our Spirit, the flesh is also an assailant towards our Spirit. In Galatians 5:19-21 it says "Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, di...

Revival always begins when a group of believers agree with what the Bible says about their lives. Not just when they can quote scripture, but when they know that Jesus is Lord, the image of the invisible God. Or when a congregation understands that God's presence dwells with his people when we worship. Thats when His kingdom power reigns on Earth. To start Fall Revival at Zion, we have the op...

You may not know it, but you are in a battle. Ephesians 6:12 says, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Are there things in your life that almost feel as if they are being devoured by the enemy? The truth is that many times we are being attac...

Most believers think that it is God's will for us to be used by Him. This term means that we would do the Lord's work as servants of His Kingdom. Although this seems noble, it turns out he would rather be our friend. God wants to know you. This week as we read Acts 13, we find out that before Saul and Barnabas were sent out, they ministered to the Lord. Have you ever taken a moment to be...

Is there something in your life that you need to see a breakthrough? Is there something in your life that you are willing to pray for until you see it happen? Although earnest, fervent prayers are the beginning of a miracle, it's time to live from a posture of knowing that God will break the chains off of strongholds in your life. This week at Zion, Pastor Josh Lester tells us the story of Pe...

This week at Zion, Pastor Brandon Block gives us a recap of Peter's vision and how the Holy Spirit falls on the Gentiles and continues to preach in Acts 11. Here Peter explains his actions to the Jews and they glorified God because even the Gentiles could receive salvation.  Just as the Gentiles receive the Holy Spirit in this passage, God's desire is for you to be filled with the Holy S...

In the book of Acts, Cornelius was a man who was devoted to God. Acts 10: 2 says, "He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly." Cornelius was a man that most Christians aspire to be like today. Although he was devoted, God had more for him than he could imagine if he was willing and obedient to God's voice.  In...

This week at Zion, the members of our congregation had the opportunity to be baptized. This declaration of faith is empowering and encouraging to the believer while providing a fresh start to living a life obedient to God. Being baptized is a beautiful thing, but what happens next? Is submersion in water the answer to all of our problems? In the Bible, Paul had the obedience to serve God faithfull...
