Send us a text"What are human beings that You think about them?"That's the question King David asks in Psalm 8—and it's a question many of us still wrestle with today. In a world that measures our worth by performance and perfection, Scripture tells a different story.In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, we explore the stunning truth that you were made not just to admire God's glory, but to reflect it. You were created with purpose, crowned with dignity, and entrusted with a calling—not because of what you've done, but because of who God is.Through the beauty of Psalm 8, we'll look at what it means to bear God's image, why your identity doesn't depend on your past, and how Jesus came to restore what sin tried to steal.You were made for glory. But the question is—what are you reflecting?Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

The fire came, the Spirit moved, and 3,000 people came to faith in one day.But what about us? In this bold and timely sermon, Pastor Nicole asks a powerful question: Are we still waiting for our Pentecost?We say we do not want to offend--but have we really surrendered to the Spirit who compels us to speak?

Send us a textWhat does it mean when Jesus says, "I am coming soon"? For many, those words spark fear, uncertainty, or confusion. But in Revelation 22, they are not a threat--they are a promise. In this Ascension Sunday message, Pastor Jason explores how "soon" is less about clocks and more about certainty and readiness.With grace-fueled urgency and heartfelt honesty, we are invited to examine the condition of our hearts--not through fear, but through the cleansing work of Christ. The question is not when Jesus is coming...the question is: are we ready?Whether you are new to faith or feeling distant from it, this message offers hope, clarity, and a call to live like the King is returning--because He is.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, we journey into the often-overlooked book of Song of Songs, where a tender invitation becomes a wake-up call for our spiritual lives. Drawing from Song of Songs 2:14–15, Pastor Jason explores the metaphor of “little foxes” that sneak in and threaten to ruin the vineyards of our faith, relationships, and calling.This message was more than just a sermon—it was a physical, prayerful experience involving symbolic eggs, a real animal trap, and a powerful moment of surrender. While podcast listeners couldn't be in the room, you're invited to engage right where you are: reflect, respond, and consider what foxes might be quietly stealing the growth God is nurturing in your life.The episode closes with a heartfelt challenge, prayer, and a connection to the song “I Won't Let You Go” by Jon Foreman and Lauren Daigle—a reminder that God lovingly calls us out of hiding and won't let go, no matter what we're facing.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Enjoy this message?

Send us a textIn the final message of our Hearing Voices series, we arrive at the empty tomb—and discover that the first voices to proclaim the resurrection weren't apostles or angels, but women. In a culture that didn't recognize their testimony, God entrusted them with the greatest news in history: He is not here. He has risen.This Easter message challenges us to reconsider who we listen to—and who we may be ignoring. Could it be that God is still speaking through the overlooked, the dismissed, and the unexpected? And if so… are we willing to hear and believe?Join us as we explore Luke 24:1–12 and uncover why the resurrection is not just good news—it's a call to listen, believe, and live differently.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Enjoy this message?

Send us a textIn this sixth installment of our Lent series Hearing Voices, we turn our attention to a group we often love to judge—the Pharisees. Found in Luke 19:39–40, their demand to silence the crowd during Jesus' triumphal entry reveals more than just religious rigidity—it reveals a heart resistant to uncomfortable truth.In this episode, Pastor Jason gets honest about his own bias against the Pharisees and his struggle to sympathize with the "older brother" in the prodigal son story. But as we dig deeper, we discover that the Pharisees' reaction may hit closer to home than we'd like to admit.What if their fear, pride, and resistance mirror our own when God's truth threatens our comfort? What if we, too, try to silence the very voices meant to draw us closer to Jesus?This message invites us to examine our hearts, surrender our defenses, and embrace the bold, sometimes disruptive, truth of Christ—no matter how it comes. Because when the people are silent, the stones will shout.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Enjoy this message?

Send us a textIn a world that often tunes out the quiet and broken, Jesus hears what others ignore. We continue our Lent series, “Hearing Voices,” by listening to the silent but powerful faith of a woman in Luke 8. She doesn't have a name, a voice in the crowd, or a place in society—but she does have faith.As Jesus is on His way to heal a prominent leader's daughter, He stops everything to acknowledge a woman who simply touched His cloak. Her silent cry of faith is enough for Jesus to listen, respond, and heal.This message is for anyone who's ever felt overlooked, unclean, or worn out from suffering in silence. It's a reminder that Jesus still sees, still hears, and still heals.If you or someone you know needs prayer, encouragement, or just a reminder that your voice matters—this episode is for you.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Enjoy this message?

Send us a textHave you ever felt like an outsider—like you don't belong, like you're on the outside looking in? In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, we continue our Hearing Voices series by listening to the voice of a persistent woman in Mark 7:24-30. She wasn't part of the "in crowd." She wasn't supposed to have access to Jesus. And yet, her relentless faith moved Him to respond.This message is for those who have ever been told they're not good enough, that they don't belong in church, or that God's grace isn't for them. It's also a challenge to those of us on the inside—are we helping others get to Jesus, or are we standing in the way?Join us as we explore the power of persistence, the wideness of God's mercy, and what it means to truly welcome those who feel like outsiders.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Enjoy this message?

Send us a textToo often, churches send the unspoken message that children are distractions rather than disciples in the making. But in Mark 10, Jesus makes it clear—children belong in His presence. In this episode, we dive into what it truly means to welcome children in our churches and in our hearts. From personal experiences with resistance to creating spaces of belonging, we'll explore how embracing the voices of children reflects the very heart of God.What if, instead of seeing children as interruptions, we saw them as invitations to encounter Christ? What if we truly lived out Jesus' words: Let the little children come to Me—do not hinder them?Join us as we challenge ourselves to make room, to listen, and to love the way Jesus does.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Enjoy this message?

Send us a textWhat does success in God's eyes really look like? If we measure it by results, then Isaiah's mission was a failure. But in Isaiah 6, we see that God wasn't calling Isaiah to be successful—He was calling him to be faithful.In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, we begin our Lent series, Hearing Voices, by listening to the voice of the prophets. Isaiah was sent to speak God's truth, knowing people wouldn't listen. Yet, he still answered, “Here I am, Lord. Send me.”What about you?

Send us a textWe often believe that knowledge and wisdom will keep us on the right path—but the story of Solomon proves otherwise. He was the wisest man to ever live, yet his heart was slowly turned away from God through small compromises.Wisdom alone isn't enough if our hearts are divided. Solomon knew God's commands but chose personal desires over obedience. His downfall serves as both a warning and an invitation: Are there areas in our lives where we are compromising instead of fully obeying?Join us as we unpack the importance of a heart fully devoted to God and how true faith requires not just knowing His Word, but living by it.

Message Pastor JasonWe explore the powerful theme of self-forgiveness through the story of David's census in 1 Chronicles 27:23-24.

It's time to let go of guilt and live in the freedom of a fresh slate.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Message Pastor JasonWe are diving into the book of Proverbs, focusing on a passage that offers practical wisdom on the company we keep. As I reflect on my high school days, a time when the Krispy Kreme Hot Light signified fresh, warm donuts, I can't help but draw a connection to our scripture: Proverbs 22:24-25.This passage warns us about the dangers of surrounding ourselves with hot-tempered people—those whose lives are controlled by anger. Anger can be contagious, leading us down a destructive path. But this scripture doesn't just caution us; it calls us to be different, to choose a path of peace and righteousness instead.We'll explore how Jesus' righteous anger differed from human wrath, and how we're called to be peacemakers in a world that often glorifies anger. As we dig into these verses, we'll challenge ourselves to leave the "hot lights" for donuts and instead, clothe ourselves in the fruit of the Spirit—compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.Join me as we discuss how to navigate a world filled with anger and how to embody the peace that God calls us to offer.4oEnjoy this message?

As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, this message becomes particularly poignant, reminding us of the paradox of freedom – it is never free but comes at a great cost.Paul, writing from a jail cell, speaks of being "poured out like a drink offering" for the faith of the Philippians.

Despite his circumstances, Paul remains joyful and encourages the Philippians to embrace the same glad surrender to God's will.This sermon challenges us to reflect on our own lives and how we can be poured out in service to others. Just as Jesus and the apostles poured out their lives for the Kingdom, we are called to do the same – to GO, LOVE, and DO in our daily walk of faith.
