The God Who Sees (Ep. 227)
From Hagar in the wilderness to the man among the tombs and the Samaritan woman at the well, Scripture reveals the Lord’s compassion for the rejected, the outcast, and the unwanted. In “The God Who Sees,” we explore how God reaches people in their suffering, speaks into their circumstances, and changes their lives. These encounters remind us that our struggles are known to Him, our cries are heard, and we are never beyond His reach.

Let It Go! (Ep. 226)
“Let It Go” explores what it means to forgive, why Jesus commands it, and why it can be difficult when wounds run deep. Forgiving does not mean forgetting, minimizing the hurt, or automatically restoring a relationship. This message examines how the Holy Spirit strengthens us to release resentment, entrust judgment to God, and forgive as we have been forgiven in Christ—even while healing takes time.

Help Me O Lord (Ep. 222)
When life leaves you without the strength to pick yourself up, the cry “Help me, O Lord” becomes deeply personal. Through Paul’s sufferings in 2 Corinthians 11–12 and experiences from my own life, we examine God’s grace as His kindness and His power working in us to strengthen, sustain, and help us overcome. Whatever you are facing, this message offers hope: what exceeds your strength does not exceed His.

Which Way is Egypt? (Ep. 221)
Israel remembered Egypt’s food but forgot Egypt’s chains. When following the Lord becomes difficult, we can find ourselves longing for the very things He delivered us from. In “Which Way Is Egypt?” we trace Israel’s journey out of bondage and consider Jesus’ call to follow Him without looking back. From Israel’s complaints to Paul’s determination to press forward, this message challenges us to trust God through hardship and keep pursuing Christ.

Revive Me O Lord (Ep. 220)
Life can leave even the strongest Christians weary, overwhelmed, and feeling as though their souls are clinging to the dust.

Our Eyes Are Upon You! (Ep. 219)
When Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah were surrounded by an enemy they could not defeat, they admitted what they did not know and turned their attention to the One who did. Their prayer was simple: “We have no might against this great company… neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon You.” In this message, Our Eyes Are Upon You, we look at 2 Chronicles 20 and the power of fixing our attention on God when the situation is beyond our strength. And as we lift our eyes toward Him, we are reminded of the promis...
Is It Fit For The King? (Ep.218)
What does it really mean to give God our best?
In this message we look at Colossians 3:23 and several people in Scripture who reveal what wholehearted devotion looks like—the widow who gave two mites, Zacchaeus and his extraordinary response to Jesus, Mary pouring out costly perfume, and Jesus’ teaching about what we do with what has been entrusted to us.
Their gifts were radically different in monetary value, but each raises the same question: What are we giving to the King?
God is not asking us to compete with...
The Warrior King (Ep.217)
Every kingdom has a king. Every battle has a warrior. But only one King willingly stepped into the battle for His people.
From the opening pages of Scripture to the final victory in Revelation, the Bible reveals Jesus Christ as the Warrior King—the One who triumphs over satan and his kingdom, defends His people, conquers sin and death, and leads His followers in triumph. He did not watch the battle from a distant throne. He entered the conflict, bore the cost, secured the victory, and will one day return to establish His kingdom forever.

Honor, A Seemingly Forgotten Word (Ep.215)
Honor.
It's a seemingly forgotten word in our culture. We talk about rights, success, influence, and recognition, but very little about honor. Yet God commands us to honor our parents, honor all people, honor our spouse, honor our leaders, and above all, honor Him. Perhaps the real question isn't whether we know what honor means—but whether our lives demonstrate it. Let's open God's Word and see what biblical honor truly looks like.

The Day of Pentecost! Acts Chapter 2 (Ep.213)
Acts chapter 2 records one of the most significant moments in the history of the church. In this episode, we examine the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, Peter's sermon to the gathered crowds, and the birth of the New Testament church. Together, we'll explore what the Bible actually says about the gift of tongues we see here, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, the gospel message that brought thousands to Christ, and the characteristics that defined the early believers. Join us as we study this foundational chapter verse by verse and discover its enduring significance...
Whatever You Do, Just Don't Let Go! (Ep.212)
In 2005, world champion bull rider Justin McBride heard seven words from his friend JW Hart just before the gate opened: "Whatever you do, just don't let go." Those words became the title of a song and serve as a fitting illustration of the Christian life.
In this message we look at Hebrews 10:19–25, and we discover that believers are called to hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, not because we are strong, but because He who promised is faithful. Together we'll explore what it means to draw nea...
What's it Worth to You? (Ep.211)
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 half-hearted pursuit. God has entrusted each of us with time, abilities, resources, and opportunities for His kingdom. The question isn't how much we've been given, but what we're doing with what He has pl...
The Days Between- Resurrection to Pentecost: Acts Chapter 1 (Ep.210)
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, restore Peter, commission His followers, ascend back to the Father, and prepare them for what would soon happen on the Day of Pentecost. Understanding these events gives us the foundation for...
The Sermon on the Mount, Pt. 3 — The King's Conclusion (Ep. 209)
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 the sermon comes to a close, the crowds are left astonished—not only by what Jesus taught, but by the authority with which He taught it.

The Sermon on the Mount, Pt. 2 — The Heart of the Matter (Ep. 208)
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 challenges not only what we do, but why we do it.

The Sermon on the Mount, Pt. 1 — The Road to the Mountain (Ep. 207)
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, every event points to the authority and mission of Christ.
The Sermon on the Mount did not appear in a vacuum. Understanding what happened before Je...
Jesus You're All I Need? Ep. 206
“‘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, and Holy Spirit —work together in perfect unity through creation, redemption, salvation, sanctification and everyday life.
Yet much of modern worship language has reduced Christianity...
Will You Run Like Elijah? Ep.205
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 Elijah’s flight from Jezebel and the powerful moment when God met him in the wilderness.
Because so...
Would The Discovery of Aliens Destroy Christianity? Ep.204
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, and centuries of attacks — and it still stands. And it always will!
In this message we are going to examine this issue carefully and biblically.
Not through panic...
Jezebel- Queen, Prophetess, Spirit? Ep. 203
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:

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 straight into Revelation chapter 2 and examine what Jesus actually says—down to the Greek—because He doesn’...

If Jesus is alive, then everything is different. The question is—do we truly understand what that means?

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.

When Believers Turn Against Each Other — Blue on Blue (Ep. 196)
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. Believers turning against one another.
But what does Scripture say about this?

How to Overcome Bitterness (What the Bible Says) — Bitter or Better: The Choice Is Yours (Ep. 194)
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, we take a clear, biblical look at bitterness—what it is, how it forms, and how we are called to respond as foll...

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 prophet, the nature of his response to God, and the account of the great fish—seeking to understand these things through the Word of God.

What Does the Bible Say About Religion vs Relationship? — The War Between Religion & Relationship (Ep. 192)
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 Scripture?
Could it be that we misunderstand both religion and relationship—and how they are meant to function together according to God’s Word?

#14 Ways in Which The Power of God Can be Distributed Ep.190
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 will endeavor to look at the different ways healing came forth from God through the Lord Jesus.

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.
