Impact Life Podcast

In last Sundays message, we're reminded of our incredible transition from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God's dear Son. Drawing from John 5:24 and Colossians 1, pastor Joel explores how believers have taken a 'giant step' into a new realm of spiritual living. This isn't just a change of scenery; it's a complete transformation of our spiritual DNA. We're challenged to align our thinking with this new reality, recognizing that we've been transferred into a kingdom where faith, not feelings, reigns supreme. The message urges us to dive deep into God's Word, making it our constitution for living. By doing so, we learn to operate in faith, answering life's challenges with the authority of Scripture rather than being swayed by circumstances. This shift in mindset is crucial for experiencing the fullness of life in God's kingdom and impacts every aspect of our daily walk with Christ.

This sermon explores the contrast between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness, emphasizing the importance of aligning oneself with God's Word and developing a sound mind. Pastor Joel encourages believers to become skillful in using the Word of God to combat negative thoughts and answer the call God has placed on their lives. He stresses the importance of submitting to God's will, recognizing one's identity in Christ, and becoming a capable vessel for God's use.

This sermon emphasizes the importance of submitting to God's Word and aligning one's thinking with His kingdom principles. Pastor Joel discusses the contrast between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness, highlighting the need for believers to recognize their new identity in Christ and operate with a sound mind. He stresses the importance of spiritual warfare, particularly in dealing with negative thoughts and temptations, and encourages the congregation to live as instruments that God can "play!"

This sermon emphasizes the importance of living by faith and renewing one's mind with God's Word. Pastor Joel discusses how believers have been transferred from the "world of the dead" to the "world of the living" through faith in Christ. He stresses the need to align one's thinking with God's Word, to speak faith-filled words, and to resist negative thoughts. Pastor Joel encourages believers to embrace their identity in Christ and to live victoriously by focusing on God's promises rather than circumstances.

In Joseph's final message of Impact Conference 2025, we're reminded of the vital role we play as the Church in restraining darkness and ushering in God's kingdom. The story of King Joash and the prophet Elisha in 2 Kings 13 serves as a striking parallel to our current spiritual climate. Just as Joash was instructed to strike the ground with arrows, we too are called to be proactive in our faith, not settling for mediocrity but pursuing God's purposes with passion and perseverance. This narrative challenges us to consider: Are we merely going through the motions, or are we truly engaging in spiritual warfare with all our might? The message emphasizes that our faith is the power that brings the world to its knees, urging us to elevate our thinking and identity in Christ. As we navigate these times of 'redemptive instability,' we're encouraged to stand firm, knowing that we are the 'red church' - overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. This perspective shift from victims to victors in Christ is crucial for our effectiveness in these last days.

In this powerful message, Joseph Z reminds us of the importance of generational legacy in our spiritual journey. The central theme revolves around the concept of 'fathers and sons' in the faith, drawing parallels from 1 Corinthians 4:15. We're challenged to consider our role in this spiritual lineage - are we instructors merely repeating information, or are we becoming spiritual fathers who impart life and wisdom? The message emphasizes that for every 10,000 instructors, there is only one true spiritual father. This insight invites us to reflect on our own spiritual maturity and the impact we're making on others. Are we worthy of imitation, as Paul urged the Corinthians to imitate him? This teaching encourages us to step into a deeper level of spiritual responsibility and influence, nurturing the next generation of believers with wisdom, strength, and authentic faith.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of our role as believers in pushing back the darkness and hastening God's plans. The key lesson is that our faith, prayers, and actions can alter spiritual timelines, just as Joshua commanded the sun to stand still. We're encouraged to be bold in our faith, recognizing that God desires to partner with us in bringing His kingdom to earth. The story of Polycarp's martyrdom illustrates the unwavering faith we're called to embody, even in the face of persecution. This message challenges us to move beyond a 'pretty pony gospel' and embrace our calling as reformers and game-changers in our generation. We're urged to find our tribe, commit to our purpose, and recognize that our lives matter greatly in God's grand plan. As we align ourselves with God's will and stand firm in our faith, we have the power to push back darkness and see revival in our land.

Joseph Z comes to Impact Life Church for our annual Impact Conference 2025! In Session 1, we're reminded of the vital importance of hearing God's voice in our lives. Joseph's story of him as a young boy first hearing God's call at age nine reminds us that God speaks to all of us, regardless of age or circumstance. We're challenged to develop our spiritual senses, as Hebrews 5:14 encourages us to 'exercise our senses to discern good and evil.' The message emphasizes that while we live in the natural world, there's a spiritual realm where God's blessings and power reside. By faith, we can tap into this realm, bringing God's reality into our everyday lives. This teaching urges us to step out in faith, whether in healing, prophecy, or evangelism, trusting that God will use us as vessels for His work. As we learn to listen and respond to God's voice, we become more effective in our spiritual walk and in impacting the world around us.

The resurrection of Jesus is the anthem of our faith! Pastor Joel goes deep into the power of Jesus and how His resurrection ultimately put the nails in the coffin of our sin, shame, guilt and disconnect from God. We are FREE!

Good Friday service at Impact Life Church on April 18, 2025. Pastor Joel brings to life the importance of Jesus' sacrifice and how it changed the world forever!

This sermon emphasizes the importance of living by faith as the highest calling and greatest privilege for Christians. Pastor Joel encourages believers to enter into the faith of Abraham, which involves submitting to God's word, aligning one's thinking with Scripture, and speaking like God. The sermon highlights the need to be filled with God's word as protection against the enemy's attacks and to maintain a sound mind in the face of life's challenges.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace our identity as children of God and to live by faith. The central theme revolves around Romans 8:19, reminding us that all of creation is eagerly waiting for God's children to be revealed. We're encouraged to shift our focus from worldly perspectives to God's words, which are containers of wisdom, healing power, and eternal truth. The story of Abraham is highlighted, showing us how faith operates beyond natural circumstances. As we enter into the 'faith of Abraham,' we're invited to a lifestyle of victory over the world, Satan, and our flesh. This message urges us to pay close attention to God's words, allowing them to shape our thinking and speaking. By doing so, we align ourselves with our true identity and origin in God, enabling us to live out the extraordinary life He has called us to.

This sermon explores the transition from relying on visible miracles to living by faith through God's Word. Pastor Joel emphasizes the importance of being a servant of God, understanding authority, and carrying God's words in our hearts. He highlights the need for Christians to move beyond seeking physical manifestations and instead trust in the power of God's spoken word, drawing parallels between the faith of the Roman centurion and the transition from Moses' miracles to Joshua's obedience to God's words.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace the heart of obedience as servants of Christ. The story of Abraham teaches us that true faith is inseparable from obedience. We're reminded that God is attracted to hearts that are tender and willing to submit, just as Abraham's was. The message emphasizes three key points: recognizing ourselves as servants of Jesus first, seeing ourselves as small in our own eyes, and delighting greatly in God's commands. This perspective shift can revolutionize our faith walk, leading us to a deeper, more intimate relationship with God. As we learn to say 'yes' to God unconditionally, we position ourselves to experience the fullness of His promises and step into our divine calling. This message encourages us to rethink our approach to faith, moving beyond mere words to a lifestyle of joyful obedience.

This last Sunday at Impact Life Church, Pastor Joel speaks about how disobedience and rebellion are big deals to God. As believers, we cannot afford to tolerate any of it in our lives! Look at the Garden of Eden; it was the reason why men fell and gave authority to the devil over the earth! Listen NOW to hear more! It was a great message!

In last Sunday's message, Pastor Joel explores the concept of faith, using Abraham's journey as a model for believers today. He emphasizes the importance of not just believing in God's promises, but actively cooperating with God's plan. He teaches that faith is both a heart and mouth issue, requiring believers to align their thoughts and words with God's vision for their lives. We are encouraged as Christians to earnestly contend for faith, learn to hear God's voice, obey His instructions, and speak in alignment with His promises.

In Sunday's message, we're reminded of the vital importance of faith in our Christian walk. Pastor Joel delves into Hebrews 6, emphasizing that faith is not just a concept, but a foundational element of our spiritual lives. We're challenged to examine ourselves, asking if we're truly 'in the faith' - not just possessing it, but actively living it out. This introspection isn't about condemnation, but about ensuring we're experiencing the fullness of what Christ has provided. The message draws parallels between our journey and the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, highlighting how God wants to free us not just from external bondage, but from ingrained worldly mindsets. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to recognize areas where we might still be 'enslaved' to worldly thinking, and to actively shift our dependency to God. This teaching reminds us that our inheritance in Christ is not just a future hope, but a present reality we can step into through faith.

Pastor Jaime explores the concept of faith as a lifestyle that emerges from a deep, intimate relationship with God. Faith is not a formula, but a trust and rest in God's promises, learned through ongoing experiences and encounters with Him. It's important to align one's life, words, and actions with God's truth, and making His Word the final authority in all situations. Listen in!

This sermon explores the foundational concept of faith in Christian life, emphasizing the importance of not just believing but actively calling things into being. Pastor Joel teaches that faith is not passive but requires action through speech and confession. He stresses that God has already completed His works, and believers are called to align their speech with God's promises to see them manifest in their lives.

Last Sunday's message revolves around Romans 4:17, where Abraham is described as one who 'calls into being things that do not exist.' This scripture illuminates a profound truth: our faith is not just about believing, but about actively speaking and calling forth the promises of God into our reality. We're challenged to examine our own lives and ask: are we merely hoping for change, or are we boldly declaring God's truth over our circumstances? The parallel drawn between Abraham's faith and our own is striking, reminding us that just as Abraham had to believe he was the father of many nations before seeing any evidence, we too must speak life into seemingly impossible situations. This message urges us to shift from a passive faith to an active one, where we align our words with God's promises, regardless of what our current circumstances may suggest. It's a call to live as 'world overcomers,' not through our own strength, but through the power of faith-filled declarations.

In Sunday's message, we explore the vital concept of faith as the foundation of our spiritual lives. We're reminded that faith is not just an optional aspect of our walk with God, but a lifestyle we're called to embrace. As we delve into Ephesians 2:8, Pastor Joel, emphasizes that grace flows and faith receives. We're challenged to see ourselves from God's perspective, calling things that are not as though they were, just as Abraham did. This practice of 'calling' activates our faith and brings God's promises into our reality. We're encouraged to be mindful of our words, recognizing that what we speak has power in the spiritual realm. This message urges us to contend earnestly for our faith, as Jude exhorts, and to live from a heavenly perspective rather than an earthly one. It's a call to align our speech and thoughts with God's Word, transforming our lives through the power of faith-filled declarations. Listen in!

In Jude 1, we are commanded as believers to contend for the faith! What does that mean? Contend Earnestly for the Faith Means: We are interested, hungry and have a desire for faith. We know the devil is interested in our defeat. So we need to be interested in getting past opposition. I cannot afford to have a casual approach to my life of faith.

What are “Faith Cloggers?” Unbelief. Doubt. Fear. Worry. Un-forgiveness. Strife. Offence. Wrong thinking. Disobedience. It's the little things that stop the Word from producing - GET RID OF THEM!

The Faith Pipeline. Make sure nothing is clogging your "faith pipeline." Look at your heart and ask yourself if there's anything inside that could be clogging your faith.

Pastor Joel takes us back to the basics of what it means to live a spirit empowered life. It starts with #faith! We need to master the basics before anything else can progress.

Being part of a church is more than attending the service every week. It's involves KINGDOM work! In the message, Pastor John talks about what it means to "answer the call" in your life and the part we as believers play in building the church. It's all for His glory!

Jesus doesn't see you as a sinner anymore! He paid too high of a price for that to be true. You as a believer now belong to His family, and can go boldly to the Lord without any blame, shame, or guilt. How do you know if this true? Listen in!

Is believing God important? YES! (Genesis 15:6) It is so vital to our walk with Him. Believing in God allows us to participate in His divine ways, and the Spirit can lead us.

Do you agree with God? Do you believe His Word? If you ever feel like Heaven is quiet, know it's not God rejecting you, or pushing you away. Go back and ask yourself those questions, because in order to hear God adequately, you have to align yourself with His Word.

How you hear is so important when it comes to your life! What you put in yourself is what you'll get out - the condition of your heart matters!

The term "mega-church" tends to have negative connotations on it, but what does is God's mindset of “Mega-church” actually? It's that each one of us use the gift that He's placed in and on us to advance His Church!

How do you differentiate between what your mind says and what your Spirit says? Do they ever agree, or is one of them always wrong? How do you know what voice is speaking? Pastor Joel answers these questions in Sundays message!

What are you looking for when the Spirit is leading you? A big, booming voice from the sky saying "this is what you should do!"? Or maybe for a physical sign where you say to God, "If 7 red cards drive by me today, I'll know it was you speaking to me, Lord." NOOO! Don't do that! Pastor Joel answers the question in last Sunday's message on how we as believers know the Spirit is speaking to us.

Session 3 of Magnificent Jesus with Tony Cooke!

Pastor Tony continues his message on Magnificent Jesus!

Session 1 of Magnificent Jesus! Pastor Tony takes us on a deep dive into the magnificence of Jesus, and how the disciples determined and learned who He really was during their time with Him, and after!

Have you ever wondered why God spoke to prophets and people in the Old Testament in different methods that were unique? Moses and the burning bush, Gideon and the wet fleece, Naama dipping in the river 7 times, etc. It was how God could communicate with them in that DISPENSATION (that time period before the cross). Now that we are in the CHURCH AGE and are our spirits are completely alive, God can speak to believers directly to our hearts! It's important we understand that and are not always lead by outside situations.

Pastor Joel continues his series on a Spirit Empowered Life, and explains how we have a DIVINE advantage with the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us! God is always wanting to show you things to come, but it's up to us to TURN towards Him and His Word, and allow the Spirit to reveal things to us on the inside.

It's easy to look at life through the natural; we're right in the thick of it! However, we aren't meant to live life that way! God paid an incredibly high price that purchased our freedom and gave us the Holy Spirit! Being born again isn't just your salvation! We are made the righteousness of God through Christ AND SO MUCH MORE!

This Sunday we had pastor David McGrew of speak at Impact, and it was amazing! He gives insightful wisdom into how to continue to be filled in the Holy Spirit, how necessary it is, and how easy it can be! Listen in!

When we believe and receive Jesus as our Lord, we are BORN of the Spirit. And once we have received Jesus as our Lord, we qualify to be FILLED with the Spirit. When He comes on our spirit and as we are filled with Him, He empowers us to live the Christian life. We are empowered to being a witness for Jesus and to serve His church effectively.

Who has God called you to be? What does it look like? Where do you find out the answer, or even start? So many questions, BUT there is an answer! You need to let the Spirit reveal it to you in your heart. You gotta see who you really are!

Understanding that you have a right-standing with God is key to walking a spirit empowered life! It will affect everything about your life!

How do you know if you're walking with the Holy Spirit? It's so important as believers that we continually listen and walk with Him. He lives inside of us. Pastor Joel introduces our new series titled "Spirit Empowered Living."

Part 14 of the Fear of the Lord Series. It takes ONE person in a family to make a decision to “Fear God” that will leave a lasting impact on future generations. What kind of legacy do you want to leave?

*Audio quality improves at 2:16. We apologize for the error* Part 13 of the Fear of the Lord Series. The Bible talks about many blessings that are ours, as believers. But they're not automatic. We play a role in seeing those promises come down from Heavn to this Earth. Listen in!

Part 12 of the Fear of the Lord Series. How does someone become a friend of God? What does it look like? Listen in!

Part 11 of the Fear of the Lord Series. There will be times God tells us to do something that just doesn't make sense to our minds. The question isn't, “why is God asking me to do this?” The question is, "do you fear God to do what He's asking of you without knowing all the reasons why?"

Part 10 of the Fear of the Lord Series . A question to ask yourself today is this: is your conscience clear? Do you follow your convictions and are you under truth's protection? James 1:22 (NCV) “Do what God's teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are fooling yourselves.”
