    Life in the Spirit | Mountaintop to Mission Field

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 2, 2025 47:32


    Mountaintop moments with Jesus are sacred, but they aren't the destination—they're preparation. God gives us glimpses of His glory not to keep us there, but to ground us in Christ and send us into the mission field. The goal isn't to stay on the mountain, but to come down changed—ready to follow Jesus, even through the valley.

    Life in the Spirit | The Surrender That Saves

    Play Episode Listen Later May 27, 2025 39:54


    Jesus doesn't just call us to a moment of surrender—He invites us into a lifestyle of daily, present-tense surrender. In a world that tells us to hold tightly to our lives, Jesus teaches that true life is found when we lay it down. The question isn't just have you surrendered, but are you still surrendered—because what we lay down for His sake will never be lost, but will bear eternal reward.

    Life in the Spirit | Not What I Expected

    Play Episode Listen Later May 19, 2025 40:12


    Following Jesus often means surrendering our expectations, especially when God's plan includes hardship or pain. Like Peter, we may resist what doesn't make sense to us—but sincere intentions aren't the same as spiritual insight. True faith chooses obedience even when the path includes a cross, trusting that God's will always leads to greater fruitfulness.

    Life in the Spirit | Confession to Commission

    Play Episode Listen Later May 12, 2025 26:34


    Jesus' question, “Who do you say I am?” demands more than borrowed beliefs—it calls for a personal revelation that transforms everything. When we confess Jesus as the Christ, we step into kingdom authority, identity, and purpose that hell itself cannot withstand.

    Life in the Spirit | The Leaven of the Pharisees

    Play Episode Listen Later May 5, 2025 37:18


    Matthew 16:1-12 Summary: Jesus warns that dangerous doctrine often comes subtly, disguised in religious language but marked by hypocrisy, legalism, skepticism, and worldliness. True faith doesn't demand constant signs but trusts in Christ, remaining rooted in sound teaching and alert to spiritual deception.

    Life in the Spirit | Lord Have Mercy on Me

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 29, 2025 33:24


    Matthew 15:29-39  Summary: Jesus has compassion on the poor, the hungry, the needy. He also has compassion on us- the poor, unbelieving disciples! How often do we ask Jesus to prove Himself all over again when we have already seen Him work! He does not fail to be patient with us and give us a testimony of His sacrifice as the Bread of Heaven, and His power to multiply provision.

    Easter Sunday | This Same Jesus

    Jesus is risen! Don't just stand there looking up at the skies! This same Jesus will return in just the same way that He left. How are we living now to prepare for the return of the resurrected Christ?

    Life in the Spirit | Dog Days of Sidon

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 14, 2025 54:47


    Matthew 15:21-28-  The woman of Sidon whose daughter was possessed approached Jesus in boldness and desperation. But how she was tested! Can I be a dog, or an unworthy servant? If we find ourselves in DESPERATION, engage in EXALTATION, and accept HUMILIATION without OFFENSE, we will see His LIBERATION!

    Life in the Spirit | Feeding Our Spirits

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 7, 2025 55:16


    Matthew 15:15-20- it is not what goes into a man that makes him unclean in God's eyes, but what proceeds out of Him. The irony of this teaching is that what we take in is also what will inevitably also come out. Jesus is shifting our focus from the shallow externals of earthly life to the weighty eternals of a truly spiritual life.

    Life in the Spirit | Tradition, Law, & Offense

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 31, 2025 56:39


    Matthew 15:1-14- The Pharisees were offended when Jesus called them blind guides. He had confronted them about their hypocrisy and was calling them to make a change. How do I respond when something is pointed out where I may need to change? Ownership is the mature alternative to offense.

    Life in the Spirit | Jesus is Moving On

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 24, 2025 55:00


    Matthew 14:34-36- Jesus wants to work in all "regions" of our lives. We try to make a law out of our experiences only to find later that Jesus has moved on! Once we recognize Him in the new "region", things begin to change very quickly- not the same work, but the same Jesus working!

    Life in the Spirit | Water Walking Faith

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 17, 2025 37:00


    Walking in faith doesn't mean ignoring challenges, but rather trusting God in the midst of them. Storms of life  cause our faith to grow as they force us to rely on God in ways that calm seas never would.

    “Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver, the other is gold.” Friendships- real ones- are essential to survival on the journey of life and faith in Jesus. How can we care for them in a way that ensures they are longlasting? Jonathan and David are a picture of deep, lasting friendship.

    First Things First | Time & Eternity

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 10, 2025 50:10


    Time is like money, in that we budget and spend it, and cannot get it back once it is gone. Time is unique, though, because there is a limited amount apportioned to each person, it is always being spent, and more cannot be earned! Time is a stewardship we manage well by prioritizing eternity, investing in people and God's Kingdom.
