The WoodBridge Church Podcast

discusses the importance of having a relationship with Jesus and how to grow closer to God. He emphasizes that faith is not just about following rules and commandments, but about building a personal connection with Jesus through communication, prayer, and studying the Bible. He also touches on the importance of confessing sins and detaching oneself from Satan's influence.

This week Rahemin discusses the importance of shining one's light, both for believers and non-believers. He emphasizes the need for self-reflection, staying connected to God, and being mindful of the influences in one's life. Rahemin uses analogies and personal anecdotes to illustrate his points, encouraging listeners to live a life that reflects God's light and love.

This week we discuss the nature of God, emphasizing that God is not a human and possesses both masculine and feminine attributes. Jared explores the roles of men and women in reflecting God's image, particularly through the analogy of marriage and the church.

This week Jared delivers a detailed teaching on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, emphasizing its central importance to Christian faith. He addresses common doubts, explains the supernatural nature of the resurrection, and encourages believers to maintain faith despite challenges and unanswered questions. The message also touches on the nature of the resurrected body, the role of faith, and the ongoing spiritual battle faced by Christians.

This week we focus on the significance of Jesus' miracles as fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and demonstrations of His divine power. Jared emphasizes that miracles reveal Jesus' authority over sin, death, and spiritual bondage, encouraging believers to understand the deeper meaning behind these acts and to live in the freedom Christ provides.

This week we focus on the holiness of God, the problem of sin, Jesus' fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, and the significance of belief and repentance. The message emphasizes that despite past disobedience, anyone can say yes to God and be accepted, illustrated through the parable of the two sons and the story of the criminals crucified with Jesus.

This week we walk through Jesus' story when he rides into Jerusalem and the Passover with Moses. Jesus is our sacrificial lamb. Everything that Jesus did was to fulfill prophesy.

No matter where you are on your walk with God, he wants more of you. Run to him.

Jesus went willingly to the cross because his heart was for God's glory and your salvation. If we don't take care of our heart, we will be wrong even when we're right.

Ever need something but you don't know what you need? Ever ask yourself what's the point? We can feel that way from time to time…you're not alone. Jesus came to give us a different way to deal with it.

It's important for each of us to share our testimony. What was your life like before Christ? What led you to that decision? What is your life like after accepting Christ?

We serve a great God…the creator of the universe who does mighty things. He is in control and he cares about you and what you're going through.

God has so much for us…He wants full custody, not just weekend visits. A half-given life will exhaust you. God has the power…we have to have the obedience.

What is growing in you, that if you don't deal with it, will be born, grow, and eventually be the death of you? When you admit you're not strong enough, that'll be the strongest you've ever been.

Once you figure out you have a weak spot, you can fix the problem. Our weak spots show us that we're imperfect and that we need a perfect Savior.

If you're following Jesus you have a target on your back. Don't be afraid of failure. God will keep equipping you when you fail and he will keep you going when you experience trials. We value time, money, and relationships. The world sees these three things as the end goal. We should use these three things as a currency for eternity…The crown is the endgame.

Life can get difficult, it takes practice. We have to exercise spiritually the same as we exercise physically. Meditating on God's Word is a tool we can use to regain focus when life gets tough.

We've all found ourselves in places we shouldn't be. If you go to battle everyday with your own willpower, you'll lose. We have to confess when we slip up and repent. You don't have any sins that can't be erased. God has cleansing for you.

Have you ever been stuck in a hard decision but you don't hang around long enough to hear from God? Struggles are real…we need to be willing to wait on God. If God is calling you to do something and you run from it, you won't find peace. The blessings from God come when we stick it out. Being obedient to God may come with intensity, but we have to hold the journey above the destination.

Sometimes we are unaware of what God is doing until we get closer to God to see them. Satan wants you distracted and not connected with God. The Holy Spirit was left for a comforter for us. He will make you aware…but not if you neglect meeting with God.

God cares about our hearts and where we put our hope. Money is a tool that can be used to honor God. Are you doing a good job managing what the Lord has given you? Everything we have is a gift from Him.

You are no accident. You are where you are for a reason and a purpose. We have to fulfill what God has put us here to do. We can't measure success the way the world measures success…if we do, we end up wasting our talents.

If you come for healing and not a relationship...you miss Jesus. Our relationship with Jesus needs to be about what He wants, not what we want Him to do.

We have ideas about who God is…but God might not be that. We hold on to the teachings we want to be true. When we hear something we want to be true, we sometimes don't go to the Word to see if it's actually true or not out of fear that God may not be like that. It's ti me to choose if Jesus is the Messiah or not. It's time to come home.

Happiness shouldn't be our metric for success in our lives…Contentment is a better metric to use.

Do the things you should do, to become the person you should be. We worship a consistent God…don't let your worry be louder than your worship.

We want blessings from God, but sometimes we're not willing to get rid of the sin that's standing in the way.

God wants to use you and will give you confirmation if you're pursuing after him.

Christian counselor Gina Martin shares some tips we can use in our lives to slow down our pace when we seem to be busy and overwhelmed.

God wants to use you for something great…he has work to do and wants to use you to do it. The first step is to tear down the idols standing in the way.

If God seems far away, it's because we're the ones who have moved. Take 10 minutes today and humble yourself and meet with God. God wants to use you for his glory.

God knows you better than you know yourself. We mask ourselves so that we can avoid pain…it's when we sit in the pain that we know ourselves.

You have a purpose…you're not a mistake. God will not only forgive your sins, but he will use you for his glory. When you fall down, get up and choose to continue to follow Jesus.

If you want to become who you were called to be…you have to make time everyday to be still and meet with the Lord. When we stay plugged into the tree, we produce kingdom fruit.

This week we take a look at the parable of the sower in the book of Mark. It's easy to live to the world's standards but we're called to live to a higher standard. There are things that we need to dig up within us so the seeds can take root.

What you think if your strength is actually your weakness. There are spiritual gains for you to get. Remember… You are stronger with help. God fights battles through his people. Take a stand. The Holy Spirit is with us. You need wise counsel. You need a foundation stronger than yourself.

Remain with God…The Christian who chooses to follow God will get to experience great things. You are made to produce fruit.

This week we share 9 things you can do today to be used by God. Allow God to use you from where you are. All he needs is a willing vessel.

God wants all of you to take all of him. God knows better than we know, allow God to be in the driver's seat.

God is recreating something in you…something that he took away in Babylon. Build God's kingdom instead of building for ourselves. The Holy Spirit will enable you to do great things. Allow Jesus to be your cornerstone. If we work together for the kingdom, nothing will be impossible. Heaven is our goal.

This week we talk about our next tree choice in the story of Abraham and Isaac. Someone has to pay for our sin. We cannot pay for our own sin. Jesus took our place.

We look at our next tree choice in the story of Noah and his family. There was only one way into the ark for salvation...there is only one way for salvation through Jesus.

When you gain knowledge & understanding of the Bible, you gain more understanding of your life. Join us for part 1 of our series about choices. We have the same choice today that Adam and Eve had in the garden. Jesus took the curse meant for us in order to redeem us.

God has some things he wants to pour out into you. Empty yourself so you can be filled…Allow God to fill you instead of allowing the world to fill you.

What can you do to be part of God's mission? If you want to be used effectively by God, ask yourself these questions: What are the things that steal your time from serving? How are you using your gifts and skills for the kingdom? Are you focusing on Heavenly treasure or Earthly treasure?

Don't misplace your faith because you lose focus.

It's important that you're different. We're given gifts for the advancement of the kingdom. Christ is the head of the body…we are all part of the same body with a different function. Encourage one another…don't tear one another down. We all have different gifts to get the job done. You are the tool to get the job done.
