Impact Church Podcast

As a church, we are always looking to take our next step. As individuals, we should also be looking to take our next step of faith. We can't follow after someone if we aren't taking steps!

As we embark on a 3-year journey together as a church, we must recognize there is no next without Jesus. It is all about Him. It always has been, and it always will be. For there is no other name by which we must be saved.

Not only is God a cosmic being with no beginning or end, He is a loving Father who knows us on a personal level.

We should praise God because He is worthy to be praised. He is all that He says He is. Is your life representative of praise?

What happens when we don't feel the presence of God? How can we respond, and can we know He is always right here with us?

God's love is exactly what we need to sustain us in life. Because of His steadfast love, our life should be one of worship to Him.

In Psalm 51, we see David face his sinfulness head on. He cries out to God, humbling himself. Confessing and repenting should be a daily activity for every Christ follower.

Oh, sing to the Lord a new song. As Jesus followers, we have already won the victory because of Christ. We should worship from a place a victory – responding to all that He is and all that He's done.

Good is good… all the time. All the time… God is good!

Psalm 23 is one of the most popular Psalms. We see that God is more than just a cosmic being; He care about His kids and walks with them through it all.

The Word of God isn't just some ancient book we can look to occasionally. Scripture is our map and our mirror. It guides us and it shows us our need for Jesus. Do you desire His word?

Even in the midst of hard times and unwanted circumstances, God is right there with His children.

Do you choose to run to Jesus or to run to the world?

Most people skip over the genealogy in the Bible, but understanding how God used an ordinary girl from the wrong side of the tracks to change the world gives us hope and purpose.

God had the right, the resources and the resolve to redeem a fallen people through Jesus.

Even in relationships, God is sovereign. He is in control, even when we don't believe it.

Everything we have is because it has been given to us by God. Do we feel entitled to what we have or are we truly grateful? Who are we that God would lavish His love and grace upon us?

Even in our working, God is still in control. He is the reason we are able to continue on, even through the difficult circumstances of life. He changes everything.

Why do bad things happen to good people? The truth is none of us are good. We know, even in our pain, God is working. He is in control of all things, and His ways are greater than our ways.

One of the agents God uses for our sanctification is children. Being a parent is challenging, but understanding the ultimate purpose is vital. Are you raising arrows?

When we are infected with the Gospel, our life changes forever. Because it is an inside-out change, once our heart is made new and our mind is being transformed, our life begins to look different.

There is no list of things to make us “good” people. We simply have to know God, grow in Him, and begin to show His love to the world. There are some ingredients, and they are only available through the power of the Spirit.

Jesus took ALL our sin, forgiving us, by nailing it to the cross. As Believers, there is now no condemnation. The enemy has been defeated once and for all.

Jesus is before all things. He doesn't do second, nor should He. Is He first in your life?

As Paul was writing to the Colossian church from prison, he wanted them to know just how much he cared for them. He mentions multiples times how he prays for them, and in the same way, Pastor Dustin prays for Impact Church.

Your love can grow old, or you can grow old in love. The choice is yours. We can continue to mature in our love if we continue to pursue and value.

Sex isn't gross, but it's also not God. In reality, sex is a good gift from God for the purpose of procreation and recreation. How can we have Godly sex? For starters, it is between two Jesus followers, in the covenant of marriage, pursuing God and pursuing one another.

The marriage relationship is often treated like a contract. A contract says, “If you do this, then I will do this.” This type of marriage is unbiblical and is a recipe for disaster. Instead, God calls us to have a covenant marriage. A covenant says, “No matter what, I will.”

When it comes to sex, the world's view is much different than God's view. Because we allow the world to be loudest, sexual sin is rampant in our culture. Where sexual sin exists, intimacy in relationships is driven out. How can we stay away from sexual immorality?

The world often tells us how men and women should be, but when we turn to Scripture we find something completely different. In the context of relationships, the Bible is clear on how men and women should live. Join us as we look at the beginning of Song of Solomon and see some characteristics of

When we shift our perspective toward Jesus, we begin to see our time and talents as resources to make a difference for the Kingdom of God. No matter what our current situation is, God wants to use us right where we are.

If you've been around church for a while you have probably heard the phrase, “first and best” at some point. This week we will dig in a bit and really look at what it means and how we can practically give God our first and best because He gave us His first and best in

Do you think you are a leader? The truth is, leadership is influence; and we all have influence. We are either leading people toward Jesus or away from Him. What would it look like if we shifted and became Godly influencers?

Once we shift our affection and satisfaction to Jesus, it should overflow into every aspect of our lives – including our families. How can we build a home that is truly focused on Jesus?

If we want to engage in the mission of making a Kingdom difference, it all starts with shifting our affection and satisfaction toward Jesus. Is He the one thing that drives everything?

Merry Christmas! Throughout this series, we have looked at the wonder of God' love, God's timing and God's name. To wrap up our Christmas series, we are looking at the wonder of God's hope. That hope? Jesus! Let's celebrate as God loved us enough to send Jesus on a rescue mission for all humanity.

God is wonder, and Christmas speaks to that unlike any other time of the year. Understanding His character helps us understand His wonder. Understanding His wonder helps us experience Him like never before.

Wonder and waiting usually don't go together. But with God, we can be confident that He is working in the waiting, which is full of wonder. How can we get through the seasons that are supposed to be cheerful when we don't feel cheerful at all? How can we wait on God knowing in the

Christmas is often associated with wonder. One of the wonders of God is His extravagant and transformational love. What does this love mean for us as we try to navigate this life?

If we know God's will, that's a great start. But how can we truly live in the will of God?

Leaders. Difficult people. Unwanted circumstances. Can we really live in God's will in such a messed up world? Can we really be full of joy? Can we really live with an attitude of constant prayer? Can we really be thankful all the time?

God's sovereign will cannot and will not be deterred. So how is that so many things happen in life that we know can't be the heart of God? And why does He not stop some things from happening? How can we really know His will?
