In this special edition of the POSC Podcast, guest minister Bro. Scott Graham delivers a powerful and unforgettable message titled “Can You Sleep When the Wind Blows?”. With compelling storytelling, heartfelt testimony, and biblical depth, this message challenges believers to develop a faith that is settled before the storm ever arrives. Using a vivid illustration of a farmer prepared for an incoming storm, Bro. Graham reveals a life-changing truth: peace in the storm is not found in the moment—it is built in the preparation. The ability to stand, remain faithful, and even rest when life becomes uncertain is the result of decisions made long before the winds begin to blow. If you've ever faced uncertainty, pressure, or unexpected trials—or if you simply want to be ready when they come—this message will challenge you to make the kind of decisions today that will carry you through tomorrow.

In this week's POSC Podcast, guest minister Bro. Scott Graham delivers a powerful and deeply moving message titled “What Does the Shepherd Do with a Blemished Lamb?”. With warmth, humor, and profound biblical insight, this message reveals one of the most beautiful truths of the gospel: God's grace is not reserved for the perfect—it is extended to the broken. With clarity and compassion, Bro. Graham reminds listeners that the enemy will try to use past mistakes, failures, and wounds to convince us we don't belong—but the Shepherd says otherwise. You are not rejected because of your scars. You are chosen. You are kept. You are His. If you've ever felt unworthy, disqualified, or defined by your past, this message will remind you that in the hands of the Shepherd, even a blemished lamb has a place—and a future.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor John D. Putnam delivers a powerful and reassuring message titled “Rock of Ages.” Drawing from Exodus 33 and the timeless hymn that has echoed through generations, this message reminds us of a foundational truth: in a world that is constantly shifting, God remains unchanging—our firm and faithful Rock. “Rock of Ages” is more than a message—it is an invitation. An invitation to trust God's goodness, to rely on His consistency, and to find peace in His presence. When everything else feels unstable, there is still a place that will not move—a place prepared by God Himself.

Don Rogers delivers a powerful and deeply convicting message titled “The Blood Covenant.” With clarity, urgency, and spiritual depth, this message calls believers to move beyond surface-level faith and step into a true covenant relationship with Jesus Christ. At its core, “The Blood Covenant” is a call to deeper commitment—a reminder that God's covenant is costly, powerful, and unbreakable. And while we may struggle in the process, His grace empowers us to live out what we could never accomplish on our own. If you've ever felt the tension between where you are and where God is calling you to be, this message will challenge you, refine you, and draw you closer to the heart of God.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Bishop John E. Putnam delivers a powerful and convicting message titled “Our Words Have Power.” Preaching from Psalm 19 and drawing from the events of Palm Sunday, Bishop Putnam reminds us how quickly words can shift—from praise to condemnation—and challenges us to recognize the weight and impact of what we speak. “Our Words Have Power” is both a warning and a call to transformation—urging us to guard our hearts, discipline our speech, and use our words as instruments of life, healing, and faith. If you've ever underestimated the impact of what you say, this message will challenge you to think, speak, and live differently—using your words in a way that honors God and uplifts those around you.

In this week's POSC sermon, Bro. John A. Putnam shares a thought-provoking and faith-building message titled “The Greatest Miracle.” Drawing from the story of the widow's oil in 2 Kings 4, this message invites listeners to reconsider how we define miracles and challenges us to recognize the powerful works God has already done in our lives. “The Greatest Miracle” is both a reminder and a challenge: remember the miracle God has worked in your life, give Him the glory for it, and allow your testimony to become the vessel through which someone else encounters the power of Jesus Christ.

In this week's Sunday sermon, we were honored to have guest speaker, Dr. James Littles. Dr. Littles delivered a powerful and faith-building message titled “Blessed Assurance of Love.” With clarity, compassion, and apostolic conviction, Dr. Littles reminds us that there is a treasure greater than any earthly possession—the unshakable love of God. Through biblical teaching and heartfelt illustration, this sermon reveals that God's love is not merely emotional—it is covenantal, sacrificial, and secure. Dr. Littles reminds us that love is not a fleeting feeling, but a settled reality rooted in Christ's finished work. When we abide in His love, fear loses its authority. When we mature in His love, boldness replaces anxiety. When we trust His love, peace becomes our portion. “Blessed Assurance of Love” is both an invitation and a declaration—an invitation to bring every fear into the light, and a declaration that God's perfect love is powerful enough to wash it away. If you've been carrying anxiety about your future, your family, your health, or your circumstances, this message will remind you that you belong to a loving Father who holds tomorrow.

In this week's sermon, Pastor John D. Putnam concludes the month of February with a powerful and deeply convicting message titled “The Greatest Act of Love.” Centered on the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, this message reveals a profound biblical truth: the highest expression of love is not emotion, words, or sacrifice alone—but total surrender to God. Through the life of Abraham, listeners are invited to explore what it truly means to trust God when faith is tested. Abraham's willingness to place his promised son on the altar demonstrates that real love is proven not in comfort or blessing, but in obedience and surrender. Pastor Putnam challenges believers to consider the question: What are we unwilling to place in God's hands? “The Greatest Act of Love” is both an invitation and a challenge: to move beyond belief into complete trust, beyond emotion into obedience, and beyond control into the life-changing love found through surrender.

In this week's sermon, Pastor John D. Putnam delivers a powerful and deeply practical message titled “Love Takes Time.” In a culture built on speed, instant results, and quick gratification, Pastor Putnam challenges believers to embrace a biblical truth that runs counter to modern expectations: real love is not formed in a moment—it is developed through process. Drawing from Philippians 1:6, this message reminds us that salvation is the beginning of our journey, not the finished product. While God's love toward us is immediate and unconditional, our growth into Christlikeness requires shaping, refining, and time. Love is not microwaved; it is formed. “Love Takes Time” is a call to surrender our timelines to God and allow Him to complete the work He has begun. Whether you are a new believer or decades into your walk with Christ, this message will challenge you to stop resisting the formation and start embracing the refinement. God is not finished with you yet. You are still on the wheel. And if you remain faithful in the forming, He will complete what He started.

In this week's sermon, Bishop Putnam brings a heartfelt and Spirit-led message titled “The Greatest of These Is Love.” Building upon recent teachings on love, Bishop Putnam dives deeper into the divine nature of agape—the selfless, sacrificial love that defines God Himself. Using Scripture from Mark 12 and 1 Corinthians 13, this message reminds us that while faith and hope remain powerful pillars of the Christian life, the greatest of these is love. Not emotion. Not sentiment. Not romance. But the agape love of God—unearned, unconditional, and transformative. “The Greatest of These Is Love” is both a reminder and a call to action—an invitation to receive afresh the Spirit of God and to let His love shape every interaction, every response, and every relationship. If you've ever wondered what it truly means to reflect Christ, this message will encourage you, convict you, and inspire you to pursue the highest virtue heaven offers—the love of God.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Putnam delivers a timely and deeply challenging message titled “Love vs. Love.” Speaking into a culture saturated with sentimental and self-centered ideas of love, Pastor Putnam draws a sharp and biblical contrast between the world's definition of love and the transforming, covenantal love of God. Using Valentine's Day as a cultural backdrop, this message exposes the emptiness of emotion-driven, convenience-based love and points listeners to the enduring power of Christlike love found in Scripture. Anchored in 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Putnam walks verse-by-verse through the defining attributes of true love—patience, kindness, humility, forgiveness, perseverance, and truth—revealing how essential these qualities are to authentic Christian living. This teaching challenges believers to examine not just what they believe, but how they love. Listeners are reminded that spiritual gifts, knowledge, sacrifice, and even faith itself are meaningless without love flowing from God's heart. Biblical love, Pastor Putnam explains, is not self-seeking, easily offended, or record-keeping—but is rooted in commitment, grace, and surrender. It is a central truth: real love cannot be manufactured by human effort. It must be received from God and lived out through His Spirit. Whether addressing wounds from the past, struggles with anger, pride, or unforgiveness, this message offers hope, healing, and a call to allow God's love to reshape the heart. A call to reject counterfeit love and embrace the agape love of Christ that restores relationships, transforms lives, and reflects the gospel to the world.

In this week's POSC Podcast, guest minister Chaplain Jim Bontrager delivers a bold, sobering, and hope-filled message titled “A Call to Action.” Speaking as a chaplain, historian, and servant of God, Chaplain Bontrager challenges the church to recognize the urgency of the moment and the responsibility believers carry in this pivotal hour of American history. Drawing from Scripture, American history, and personal testimony, this message confronts the spiritual roots behind cultural confusion, moral decline, and societal unrest. Chaplain Bontrager reminds listeners that freedom is not the absence of restraint, but the presence of self-governance under God. True liberty, he teaches, flows from the work of the Holy Spirit transforming hearts—not from political systems, ideology, or human effort. With clarity and conviction, this teaching weaves together biblical truth, the foundations of the United States, and the church's role as stewards of freedom. From the writings of the Founding Fathers to the warnings of Scripture, listeners are called to wake up, stand firm, and refuse spiritual apathy. The message emphasizes that while the world may be acting as expected, the church must rise as salt and light—bringing hope, truth, and courage to a searching generation. At its core, “A Call to Action” is a rallying cry for personal responsibility, spiritual resilience, and wholehearted surrender. Bro. Bontrager reminds believers that hardship is often God's training ground, that faith is forged through perseverance, and that God is still looking for men and women willing to stand in the gap and say, “Here I am, send me.” This message will challenge complacency, strengthen conviction, and reignite purpose—calling every listener to live boldly for Christ, right where God has placed them, for such a time as this.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor Putnam delivers a clear, biblical, and deeply pastoral teaching on “Why I Tithe,” reframing generosity not as pressure or obligation, but as a discipleship issue rooted in the lordship of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Matthew 6 and the Sermon on the Mount, this message confronts the heart of the matter: where your treasure is, there your heart will be also . With honesty and clarity, Pastor Putnam walks listeners through Scripture to show that tithing is not about fundraising, guilt, or earning God's favor—it is about trust, surrender, and priority. From Jacob's vow at Bethel, to the law of Moses, to Jesus' own reaffirmation of tithing, this teaching reveals the tithe as a biblical principle that predates the Law and continues as a foundational starting point for faithful living. This sermon addresses common misconceptions head-on, explaining what tithing is not—a tip, a transaction, or a payment for blessings—and what it truly is: the returning of the first and best to God as an act of worship. Through practical illustrations and Scripture-based insight, Pastor Putnam challenges listeners to examine whether they are arranging their lives around God, or trying to fit God into what is left. At its core, this message declares that tithing is about lordship. It humbles us, breaks fear, builds faith, and realigns our hearts with the truth that God is our source—not our paycheck, possessions, or security. While salvation is by grace alone, this teaching makes clear that complete surrender includes every area of life, finances included. This message will challenge assumptions, strengthen faith, and invite listeners into greater freedom through obedience—not because God needs our money, but because He desires our hearts.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor Putnam launches a faith-stretching vision for 2026 with a clear and compelling mandate: Just Reach One—because one is worth it. Drawing from Luke 15 and other Gospel accounts, this message centers on the heart of Jesus for individuals, reminding us that crowds never distracted Him from the value of a single soul. With conviction and pastoral clarity, Pastor Putnam challenges the modern obsession with numbers, popularity, and platforms, emphasizing that Jesus was never impressed by crowds—He was moved by people. From the lost sheep in the wilderness, to the Samaritan woman at the well, to the demon-possessed man delivered after a stormy crossing, Scripture repeatedly reveals a Savior who stops, goes out of His way, and pays any cost to reach just one person. This episode calls the church beyond Sunday services and programs into lifestyle evangelism—a daily, personal obedience flowing out of a surrendered relationship with Jesus Christ. Evangelism, Pastor Putnam explains, is not a title, a microphone, or a method; its availability. While only God can save, heal, and transform, every believer has a responsibility to go, to love, and to reach. As heaven celebrates one repentant sinner, this message invites each listener to align their priorities with heaven's joy. Whether it's a neighbor, coworker, family member, or stranger, God is still asking His people to leave the 99 and pursue the one who matters deeply to Him. This sermon will stir your faith, challenge your comfort, and refocus your mission—because the world is reached one conversation, one prayer, and one act of obedience at a time. One is worth it.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor Putnam delivers a powerful, end-of-year challenge built around a simple but life-changing command: Keep on serving. Rooted in the heartbeat of Apostolic Pentecostal faith—serve and save—this message reminds us that while only Jesus can save, God has chosen to work through people who are willing to serve. With passion and clarity, Pastor Putnam celebrates what God has done through faithful service in the local church and the community, while also calling every believer to move beyond comfort and convenience. Drawing from Scripture, including Jesus' example of washing the disciples' feet and Paul's exhortation in Romans 12, he makes it clear: serving is not optional for Christians—it is the pathway God uses to reach the lost. From well-known biblical figures to unnamed servants working quietly in the background, this message highlights how God consistently uses ordinary people with willing hearts. Service isn't about spotlight or status; it's about availability, humility, and obedience. When the church embraces this calling, joy increases, unity deepens, and salvation follows. As we close out the year and look ahead to what God wants to do next, this episode will stir your heart to action. If you've ever wondered how God can use you, this message will answer that question with conviction and hope. We Serve, He Saves.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Bro. Joseph D. Putnam delivers a powerful message rooted in Romans 8:28, revealing a truth believers can anchor their lives on: the unwavering goodness of God. Speaking from the perspective of someone intimately acquainted with trial, Bro. Putnam reminds us that God's goodness is not proven by the absence of suffering—but by His faithfulness in the middle of it. Bro. Putnam walks listeners through the extraordinary hardships of Paul's life—whippings, beatings, shipwrecks, persecution, hunger, cold, imprisonment, and relentless pressure from all sides—only to point us back to Paul's own conclusion: “Afflicted, but not crushed… struck down, but not destroyed.” God sustained him. God delivered him. God was still good. And the same God who carried Paul carries us today. With sincerity, Scripture, and steady conviction, Bro. Putnam parallels Paul's testimony with our own battles—broken bodies, lost loved ones, grief, mistreatment, uncertainty, unmet promises—and shows how God weaves His goodness through every chapter. Our trials don't disqualify His goodness. They display it. When hope feels distant, His hand is present. When weakness overwhelms, His strength lifts. When pain cries loudest, His comfort speaks clearest. This episode also carries a dual call to action: If you're in the storm—praise anyway. God moves in the middle of honest worship. If you've come through the storm—praise because He brought you out. Ending with a resounding echo of Psalm 150, this message shifts our posture from asking “Why me?” to declaring “God is still good.” It stirs something in the soul and demands a response: let everything that has breath praise the Lord. No clouds. No clichés. Just confidence in God's goodness. To hear more about what God is doing in Sheboygan County and beyond, visit us at posc.church!

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor Putnam brings a timely and convicting word on a theme our world desperately needs to rediscover: gratitude. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:18, he reminds us that giving thanks in everything isn't a suggestion—it's the will of God for every believer. In a generation overflowing with convenience yet starving for contentment, Pastor Putnam exposes how easily entitlement, complaint, and cultural negativity seep into our spirits. Through humor, real-world examples, and a clear challenge from Scripture, he calls the church to rise above the noise and reclaim the posture of a thankful heart. Walking through the stories of the ten lepers, Job, Paul and Silas, and the Psalms of David, he paints a vivid picture of what gratitude looks like—not as a fleeting feeling, but as a spiritual discipline that transforms us. Gratitude is more than good manners; it's spiritual warfare. It steadies the mind, guards the heart, shifts atmospheres, and invites the peace of God into our lives. If you've felt the weight of negativity, discouragement, or the constant pressure of “what's next,” this message will reset your heart. It will remind you that we are a profoundly blessed people—with every reason to return, like the one leper, to fall at Jesus' feet and simply say, thank You. Choose the path of gratitude. It will change how you see everything. To hear more about what God is doing in Sheboygan County and beyond, visit us at posc.church!
