Oasis Church Message Podcast

What if the ache you feel—the need to prove yourself, the fear of rejection, the constant striving—isn't just emotional… but spiritual?In this powerful Father's Day message, Pastor Clint explores the deep and often hidden impact of the orphan spirit—a condition that begins when we lose connection with God as Father. You'll hear the real-life story of a man who discovered he was royalty through a DNA test, a scene from The Lion King that speaks to our identity crisis, and a breakdown of 16 indicators that reveal if you're living like a spiritual orphan.But this message doesn't stop at diagnosis.It points to healing through adoption—the good news that Jesus didn't just come to save you, but to bring you home.You were made for more than survival.You were made for sonship.You were made for daughterhood.You were made for family.

What do gravity, gardening, and your spiritual life have in common? They all follow laws—unchangeable principles that produce results, whether you're ready for them or not. In this powerful and practical message, Pastor Clint unpacks the 7 Laws of the Harvest straight from Scripture and real life. You'll discover how the seeds you're planting today—whether in your marriage, family, finances, health, or faith—are shaping your tomorrow.This message is an honest and hope-filled reminder that God's blessings grow in the soil of perseverance, but so do weeds if we don't pay attention. The good news? Even if you've made a mess of your field, it's never too late to burn the weeds, break new ground, and start fresh with Jesus.Don't miss this one—because when you quit it… you miss it.

What do you do when life leaves you limping?In this raw and hope-filled message, we dive into the deep, often hidden places of pain—the unmet expectations, the wounds from others, the shame we carry from ourselves, and the disappointment we sometimes feel toward God.Using a simple story about stepping on an earring (yes, really), Pastor [Your Name] unpacks how even the smallest moments can leave the biggest wounds—and how pain, when left unhealed, becomes a stronghold that shapes our lives more than we realize.But here's the good news: Jesus doesn't just save us—He sees us.He doesn't run from our pain—He runs to it.And He's not waiting for you to “get over it.” He's waiting for you to bring it to Him.If you've ever felt like the version of your life you're living wasn't the one you hoped for… this one's for you.

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought:“This can't be it. I thought there would be more…”You're not alone.So many of us are stuck in survival mode—busy, tired, and low-key wondering if we missed our moment. We're told to “find our calling” and “follow our dreams,” but most of us are just trying to make it through Monday without screaming at the coffee maker.In this message, we're asking the real questions:What if my life doesn't feel meaningful right now?What if I feel like I'm behind?How do I know I'm walking in my purpose?The answer isn't a new job or a bigger platform. It's not about titles or talent.It's about being faithful with what's already in your hands.Jesus doesn't just save you—He sends you.You're not random. You're not overlooked. You were created on purpose, chosen for a reason, and called to live with eternal impact—right here, right now.

In this week's message from Real Life. Real Jesus., we're talking about decision-making—the kind that keeps you up at night, weighs heavy on your heart, and leaves you second-guessing every option. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid of making the wrong choice, you're not alone.The good news? God isn't silent. He promises wisdom to those who ask—and clarity to those who trust.This message will help you slow down, submit your decisions to Jesus, and move forward with peace, not pressure.

Relationships are beautiful—and sometimes just plain messy. In this message, we talk about what to do when things go sideways: the awkward tension, the ghosting, the long-standing silence. Jesus doesn't avoid our relational mess—He steps into it. If you're carrying hurt, feeling stuck, or just want healthier relationships, this message is for you. It's not about fixing them. It's about letting Jesus do something in you.This week's resource: https://storage2.snappages.site/V4R4W5/assets/files/RLRJ-Resources-Relationship-Reset.pdf

You ever show up expecting one thing and get hit with something totally different? Like booking a “decent” hotel and walking into a crime scene? Been there.

Ever feel like God could never use someone like you?In this message, we're getting real about insecurity—the kind that whispers, “God will never use you.” Whether it's the voice in your head or the wallpaper project that went sideways (you'll hear that story too), we've all had moments where we doubt ourselves more than we doubt God.But what if your weakness is actually the very thing that qualifies you? What if God specializes in using the unlikely, the insecure, and even the full-on failures? (Spoiler: He does.)This message is for the ones who've blown it, the ones who feel overlooked, and the ones who wonder if God made a mistake choosing them. Good news: You are not a mistake. You're a masterpiece.Let's talk about what it means to face your insecurities—and still say yes to God's calling.

Feeling Abandoned by God? Here's What to Do.Have you ever felt like God left you hanging? Like you're lost, staring at a gray screen with no directions? In this episode, we get real about what it feels like when God seems absent. We'll dig into scripture, where even Jesus felt abandoned by God on the cross. And we'll explore practical steps for responding to that feeling.When you feel like God is nowhere to be found, here's how to respond:✅ Remember He's still with you.✅ Turn your “Why, God?” into “What, God?”✅ Ask God, “What do you want to do through me?”This conversation is for anyone feeling hurt, lost, or struggling to see God's hand in their life. Because while your pain is real, so is His presence. Let's walk through this together.

Ever felt let down by Christians who preach one thing but live another? You're not alone. In Week 2 of our series, Doubting God, we tackle one of the biggest reasons people doubt their faith: the hypocrisy of believers.From religious leaders putting on a show to everyday Christians who fall short—it's confusing and hurtful. But even Jesus Himself had strong words for hypocrites. The good news? Jesus offers grace, healing, and forgiveness for everyone—hypocrites included.If you've been hurt by the Church or Christians, this message is for you. It's time to shake off the dust and move forward, trusting in the One who never fails.

Whether you're in a season of questioning or trying to help someone through theirs, this message is for you.Let's talk about doubt—not as the enemy of faith, but as an invitation to something deeper.

Failure is something we all experience—but what does Jesus do with our failure? In this powerful conclusion to our Miracles series, we dive into one of the most relatable miracles in the Bible: the restoration of Peter.Peter had seen Jesus perform incredible miracles—healing the sick, raising the dead, and even commanding nature itself. And yet, despite all he had witnessed, he failed. He denied Jesus when it mattered most. But here's the incredible truth: failure wasn't the end of Peter's story, and it's not the end of yours either.

This miracle is wild. Seriously. All miracles are amazing, but this one? It's on another level.In this message, we're diving into the story of Lazarus—where Jesus doesn't just heal the sick, He raises the dead.

He's not just here to inspire us. He has resurrection power, and that power is still at work today.So, what does this miracle mean for you? It means salvation, real power for your everyday life, and freedom from whatever is holding you back. If you've ever felt stuck, if you've ever wondered where God is in your pain—this message is for you.Let's dig in.

In this message, we dive into one of the greatest miracles Jesus performed—not just healing a man physically, but transforming his heart. But here's the kicker: this miracle wouldn't have happened without some good friends who were willing to do whatever it took to get this man to Jesus.We live in a world that's more connected than ever but lonelier than ever. Real friendships—the kind that show up when life falls apart—are rare. But they're not impossible.

Life is full of storms—some we see coming, others hit us out of nowhere. Whether it's a health crisis, a broken relationship, or an unexpected job loss, these moments can shake us to our core. But what if the storm isn't just about the storm? What if it's about who we trust in the middle of it?In this message, we kick off Week 1 of our Miracles series by diving into Mark 4, where Jesus calms the storm on the Sea of Galilee. The disciples were afraid, but Jesus had already told them, “We're going to the other side.” Just like them, we often struggle to trust God when the waves start crashing.Join us as we unpack powerful lessons about faith, fear, and what it means to truly trust Jesus in the midst of life's most unpredictable moments.

This week, we're diving deep into that question as we explore the story of the Samaritan woman at the well.Jesus didn't avoid broken people—He sought them out. He ignored cultural, spiritual, and relational barriers to meet people right where they were.
