Just Do It: Faith, Fear, and the Bionic BicepIn this episode of Word Time, Coach Shelby returns with a powerful testimony following his recent bicep surgery. Whether it's two new hips or a reattached limb, Coach explores what it means to be "bionic" in the Spirit while dealing with the very real presence of fear.Faith isn't the absence of fear; it's standing on the Word of God when fear shows up to test you. Coach shares a remarkable story from the operating room where his own vulnerability led to a bold witness from a medical professional, proving that there are no excuses for staying silent about Jesus—whether you're in a surgical center or a Walmart.We also tackle the danger of fabricating a God who conforms to our flesh. God isn't your "homeboy" who winks at sin, nor is He a cold judge whose mercy is outmatched by His judgment. We must let the Word of God define who He is, not our emotions or our past mistakes. Join us as we dive into Philippians 4 and learn the "fight" required to enter into God's rest.Key Highlights:The Bionic Man Testimony: Praise for a successful surgery and a "new shell" in progress.Psalms in the Surgery Room: How a bold anesthesiologist silenced fear with the Word.Fabricated Gods: Rejecting the "syrupy sweet" hyper-grace and the "overly harsh" versions of God.The Final Authority: Why we must let the Bible define God's character over our feelings.The Fight for Rest: Breaking down Philippians 4:6-9 and the process of crucifying the flesh.No Excuses: A challenge to be a witness for Christ in every workplace and situation.Key Scriptures:Philippians 4:6-9 – Be anxious for nothing; meditate on things that are true and noble.1 John 4:4 – Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.Psalm 23 & 91 – The power of quoting the Word in the face of fear.#JustDoIt #ChristianTestimony #Philippians4 #FaithOverFear #Overcomer #WordTime #CoachForChrist #BionicFaithChapters0:00 - Intro: The Bionic Bicep & Surgery Update1:04 - The "New Shell": Taking Care of the Temple1:44 - Faith vs. Fear: The Operating Room Struggle2:32 - The Anesthesiologist's Witness: Quoting Psalms3:50 - No Excuses: Being a Light at Work4:21 - God is Able: Standing on Final Authority4:53 - The Danger of Fabricated Gods5:58 - Does Mercy Outweigh Judgment?

The Danger of Criticism: Helping the "Sick in Faith" Without Snuffing the FireHave you ever looked at a newer believer and felt the urge to "correct" their choice of church, music, or Bible translation? In this episode of Word Time, Coach Shaw shares a personal conviction regarding Romans 14:1 and the hidden danger of spiritual pride.We often claim to be "meat-eaters" in the faith, but if our "maturity" causes us to denigrate the very things God is using to light a fire in someone else, are we truly following Christ? We dive into the Greek meaning of "weak in faith," which often translates to being "sick." Just as we wouldn't chew someone out for having a physical cold, we shouldn't condemn those who are still on "spiritual milk."Whether it's the translation of the Bible someone reads or the church they choose to attend, we must have the wisdom to know when to be bold and when to have compassion. Don't let your maturity become a stumbling block for someone else's progress.Key Highlights:The 24-Hour Conviction: A personal story of reversing a critical word given to a friend.Milk vs. Meat: Understanding that everyone has a different timeline and process in their walk with God.The "Sick" in Faith: A look at the Greek word astheneō and why it changes how we view "weak" believers.Canceled Creators: Discussion on Ravi Zacharias, King Solomon, and whether we should "throw away the Proverbs" because of a man's fall.The Role of Compassion: Why maturity should lead to more humility, not more criticism.Matthew 23 Warning: Are we suppressing a fire that the Holy Spirit is trying to light?Key Scriptures:Romans 14:1 – "Accept other believers who are weak in faith..."Matthew 23 – The warning against making converts "twice the son of hell."Matthew 7 – The context of judging others.Psalm 1 – Being rooted and grounded in your own season.#TheDangerOfCriticism #Romans14 #SpiritualMaturity #FaithWalk #ChristianCompassion #WordTime #CoachForChrist #BibleStudyChapters0:00 - Intro: A Quick Word on Criticism0:21 - The Church Recommendation: A Personal Mistake1:25 - The Holy Spirit "Slap Down": Realizing the Hindrance2:11 - Boldness vs. Harshness: Checking Our Overzealousness2:54 - The Music & Ministry Debate: Can God Use "Flawed" Sources?4:14 - The Solomon Example: Do We Throw Out the Proverbs?4:48 - Meeting People Where They Are: Milk vs. Meat5:12 - Bible Translations: The Place for the NIV6:27 - Are We Suppressing a Fire?

Do you ever feel like God is nowhere to be found? Do you ever feel forsaken, abandoned, and forgotten? Maybe that is t he evidence that you have not been left alone. List to this common deception the enemy put on almost all believers.Behold the Lamb: Ministry, Manhood, and the Kingdom WithinIn this powerful, full-length session, we strip away the "fig leaves" of religion to uncover the raw reality of the Kingdom of God. From the classroom to the locker room, the message is clear: God isn't done with you yet. We address the heartbreaking crisis of fatherlessness in today's generation and the vital need for men to stand on the absolute truth of the Word of God rather than their own feelings, giftings, or paychecks.We explore the transition from the Old Covenant "types and shadows" to the once-and-for-all sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God. You don't have to keep "sacrificing another goat" every time you stumble; you have to trust the finished work of Christ. Using the "house cleaning" analogy, we discuss how the Holy Spirit systematically cleanses every room of our lives—from the living room to the attic—transforming us from "glory to glory."Whether you are navigating a career change, leading a family, or just trying to find your footing, this message is a call to surrender your own "mess" for His beauty. It's time to move past the doctrine of men and step into the rule and government of God within you.Key Highlights:True Manhood: Why spiritual leadership matters more than winning a physical fight.The "Yoda" Effect: How the anointing of the Spirit carries you when you are physically drained.The Kingdom Within: Understanding that the rule of God starts in your heart today, not just on streets of gold.The "House Cleaning" Analogy: A humorous but deep look at how God cleanses our "temples" room by room.Kingdom Career Advice: Why you should never take a job for money, but only for where Jesus leads.From Glory to Glory: Why spiritual growth is a constant, lifelong "graduation" process.Key Scriptures:John 1:29 – "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"Luke 17:21 – "The kingdom of God is within you."Romans 12:2 – "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind."2 Corinthians 3:18 – "Being transformed into the same image from glory to glory."Philippians 2:5 – "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus."#KingdomOfGod #BiblicalManhood #FaithOverFear #HolySpirit #SpiritualGrowth #BeholdTheLamb #ChristianLiving #ManOfGodChapters00:00 - Intro: Ministry and the Anointing of the Spirit25:40 - The Mercy of God: Chosen Before the Foundation31:28 - God Isn't Done With You: Stop Trusting Your Feelings44:16 - The Cycle of Sin: Why the Permanent Sacrifice Matters58:38 - From Glory to Glory: The Lifelong Graduation Process1:02:11 - The House Cleaning Analogy: Cleansing the Rooms of the Soul1:06:36 - Kingdom Career Advice: Choosing Jesus Over the Paycheck
Faith, Healing, and the Power of Persistence: A Week in ReviewWelcome to "Word Time" as we dive into our classroom week in review. In this session, we tackle the complexities of faith and healing, moving past the "name it, claim it" extremes to find the solid, biblical middle ground. Using the imagery of a coach preparing a team for the playoffs, we explore why healing is often a progression—a "crock-pot experience" rather than a microwave miracle.We contrast the stories of Hezekiah, who received 15 years through a "cake of figs" (medicine), and Elisha, who died in his sickness yet carried an anointing so strong it raised the dead from his bones. Whether you are facing a medical report you didn't want or simply seeking a fresh empowerment of the Holy Spirit, this message is a call to be persistent. Don't walk away from the door just before it opens—keep knocking, keep seeking, and keep standing on the Word.Key Highlights:Context is Key: Why we must read the "66 scrolls" in their entirety, not just isolated verses.The Anatomy of the Body: Understanding 1 Corinthians 12 and the diversity of gifts for the profit of all.Crock-Pot vs. Microwave: Why "seed faith" and gradual progression often build stronger character than instant miracles.Medicine and Miracles: Looking at Hezekiah's "cake of figs" and why doctors are not a sign of unfaithfulness.The Elisha Paradox: How a man of God can die in sickness and still be a vessel of resurrection power.The Holy Spirit Buffet: A call to persistence based on Luke 11—knocking until the door of empowerment swings wide.Key Scriptures:1 Corinthians 12 – Diversities of gifts and the manifestation of the Spirit.2 Kings 20 – Hezekiah's healing and the use of medicine.2 Kings 13 – The death and remaining anointing of Elisha.Luke 11 – The persistent friend and the gift of the Holy Spirit.Acts 1 & 8 – The baptism and power of the Holy Ghost.#FaithAndHealing #BiblicalTeaching #HolySpirit #KingHezekiah #Elisha #PersistentPrayer #WordTime #ChristianGrowth0:00 - Intro: Classroom Week in Review0:40 - Beyond the "Name It, Claim It" Movement1:19 - 1 Corinthians 12: Diversities of Gifts and Ministries2:45 - The Purpose of Manifestation: Profit for All3:49 - Gift of Faith vs. The Measure of Faith4:48 - Healing as a Progression: The Seed and the Harvest6:25 - Facing the Report: Detached Tendons and Faith7:31 - Overloading the Muscle: Why God Allows Resistance8:47 - Rooted and Grounded: Rejecting the Spirit of the World10:10 - The Crock-Pot Experience: Hezekiah and the Cake of Figs11:59 - Faith Overcomes Fear, It Doesn't Deny It12:51 - The Elisha Paradox: Anointing in the Midst of Sickness16:23 - Hospital Ministry: Being a Miracle to Others18:48 - God's Purpose in the Process20:07 - Acts 8: The Difference Between Belief and Empowerment23:01 - Luke 11: The Three Loaves and Persistent Knocking26:34 - How Much More?

Burn the Idols: The Radical Reforms of King JosiahWhat does true repentance actually look like? In this study of 2 Kings 23, we look at the life of King Josiah, a leader who refused to settle for partial obedience. While previous kings left the "high places" standing, Josiah tore them down, burned the idols to dust, and completely purged the land of pagan influence.We connect Josiah's radical actions to our lives today. When the Holy Spirit brings conviction, we have a choice: do we keep our "idols" as souvenirs, or are we willing to burn them? Whether it's a song, a movie, or a memory that leads us toward sin, true repentance requires us to remove the "high places" in our hearts so we can love the things of God more than the things of this world.Key Highlights:The Josiah Standard: Why Josiah was different from the kings who came before him.Complete Purge: Understanding why Josiah went as far as burning the bones of pagan priests.The Trap of the "High Places": Identifying the subtle idols we leave standing in our own lives.Lessons from Ai: Why Achan's hidden sin caused a whole nation to stumble and the necessity of purging the curse.The Work of Repentance: Practical steps to burning the things that cause us to stumble.Key Scriptures:2 Kings 23 – The reforms of King Josiah.Joshua 7 – The defeat at Ai and the sin of Achan.Psalm 119:104 – Gaining understanding and hating every false way.#KingJosiah #Repentance #SpiritualGrowth #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #HolySpirit #Faithfulness #WordTimeChapters0:00 - Intro: The Best Part of the Day0:13 - Josiah: The King Who Refused to Compromise0:32 - Tearing Down the High Places and Pagan Altars1:05 - What True Repentance Looks Like Today1:16 - Identifying Modern Idols: Movies, Music, and Memories1:40 - The Lesson of Ai: How Hidden Sin Stops Progress2:06 - Purging the Curse: Why the "Burn" is Necessary2:23 - Conviction vs. Convenience: Choosing God's Law2:42 - Closing: Love God More Than the World
Choosing Faith Over Fear: The Example of King HezekiahWhen impending doom arrives at your doorstep, what is your first move? In this session, we contrast the legacy of two kings: Ahaz, who sought help from the world, and his son Hezekiah, who chose to rely solely on the faithfulness of God.We look at the moment Hezekiah received a letter of threat from the Assyrian army and, instead of panicking, literally laid it out before the Lord in the temple. We also explore Hezekiah's personal battle with illness and how his immediate recourse was prayer. Whether you are facing a "Sennacherib" in your professional life or a personal health battle, this message is a reminder that God is faithful to give us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it.Key Highlights:The Legacy of Choice: Comparing the fear-based decisions of King Ahaz with the faith-based leadership of Hezekiah.The Power of Prayer: How one man laying a letter before God resulted in a supernatural victory over 185,000 men.A Personal Testimony: Finding God's faithfulness in the midst of a battle with leukemia.Wants vs. Needs: Realizing that God's timing and provision are perfect, even when they don't align with our immediate desires.Key Scriptures:2 Kings 18 & 19 – The account of King Hezekiah and the Assyrian invasion.2 Kings 20 – Hezekiah's illness and the 15-year promise.Isaiah 38 – Getting your house in order and the power of prayer.#KingHezekiah #FaithOverFear #BiblicalLeadership #PowerOfPrayer #GodIsFaithful #ScriptureStudy #TrustingGod0:00 - Intro: The Best Part of the Day0:14 - King Ahaz vs. King Hezekiah: A Contrast in Faith0:53 - Sennacherib and the Assyrian Threat1:17 - Laying the Letter Before the Lord1:37 - The Reality of the Spiritual Realm: 185,000 Defeated1:53 - Hezekiah's Illness: "Get Your House in Order"2:07 - The Prayer for Healing and the 15-Year Promise2:22 - The Choice: Do We Believe God is Who He Says He Is?2:38 - Real Reliance: Applying the Word to Personal Struggles2:50 - Faith in the Battle: A Personal Testimony with Leukemia3:00 - God's Provision: What We Need vs. What We Want3:10 - Closing: God is Good
Faith Over Fear: Learning from King AhazIn this video, we dive into a powerful lesson from 2 Kings and Isaiah regarding how we respond to the "firebrands" of life—those moments of intense fear, anxiety, and life-threatening challenges.Sharing from a deeply personal place of going through chemotherapy and preparing for a stem cell transplant, we explore the contrast between King Ahaz's fear-driven reliance on the world and the Lord's invitation to stand firm in faith. If we do not establish our faith in Yahweh, we will not be established at all.Let this be an encouragement to view your current trial not as a "Why me?" moment, but as an opportunity to test and grow a faith that is truly unshakable.Key Scriptures:2 Kings 15:37, 16:7Isaiah 7:4, 7:9Chapters0:00 - Back to the Word: An Update on the Journey0:31 - Full Remission and the Path to Transplant0:45 - The Story of King Ahaz: Opportunity in the Midst of Fear1:29 - 2 Kings 15: Facing the "Firebrands" of Life1:52 - Isaiah 7: Take Care and Stay Quiet2:33 - The Key: Establishing Your Faith in Yahweh3:11 - The Mistake of Ahaz: Seeking Practicality Over God3:41 - Tested Faith: Moving Beyond "Why Me?"#Faith #Remission #GodIsGood

Take My Yoke Upon You: The Secret to God's RestAre you tired? Are you struggling through trials, feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders? We often pray for relief, but we continue to carry burdens that were never ours to bear. What if the secret to true peace isn't in trying harder, but in surrendering completely?The reality is, we must choose our master. We can choose being yoked with the world or with Christ. In this vital message, Coach Shelby unpacks the profound invitation from Jesus in Matthew 11: "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." This isn't a suggestion; it's a divine strategy for victory. Learn what it truly means to take on the yoke of Christ and trade your exhausting labor for a supernatural peace that guards your heart and mind.In this video, you'll discover:The stark choice we all face: being yoked to the world or yoked to Christ.The true meaning of "Take my yoke upon you" (Matthew 11:29).Why "laboring to enter His rest" is a battle of belief, not works.The critical difference between the rest of God and a dangerous spiritual slumber.How to pray without ceasing (it's not what you think).The danger of being yoked to the world and "eating popcorn with demons."Why the trials you face are the very proof of where you stand with God.Join the MissionIf you're ready to lay down your heavy burdens and take on the freeing yoke of Christ, like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who is weary and needs to find true rest in the Lord.#CoachForChrist #TakeHisYoke #Matthew11 #FindRestInGod #SpiritualWarfare #BibleTeaching #FaithInTrials #ChristianFaith
In this powerful message, we explore the paradox that you must first be a "man of war" to ever experience true peace. Drawing from the story of King David and his son Solomon, we learn that peace is not a passive gift but a victory that is won. To have peace in your life and in your home, you must first learn how to engage in spiritual warfare: putting on the full armor of God, wielding the sword of the spirit, and fighting against the forces that oppose God's will. This is a call for the men of God to stand firm, fight the good fight, and thereby secure the unshakable peace that can only be found on the other side of battle.
Do you ever look at your successes and feel like they're all your own doing? In this powerful conclusion to our Undeserved Blessings message, we dive deep into Deuteronomy 9 to confront the dangerous pride that comes from taking credit for God's blessings.Coach Shaw unpacks why our greatest victories aren't based on merit, but on God's unwavering faithfulness and a call to action to eradicate sin in our lives. This message is a wake-up call to move past the "justification honeymoon" and into the challenging but rewarding sanctification walk.In this video, you'll discover:The dangers of being a "young coach" who thinks he has it all figured out.Why God is a longsuffering and just God, even when dealing with wickedness (Genesis 15:16).The surprising truth that your professional success is not about you, but about glorifying God.What the Parable of the Talents teaches us about our platform and influence.Why our ultimate calling is not to win games, but to win souls.Join the MissionIf this message spoke to you, like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.Let's quit burying our talents and embrace our divine calling together!#CoachForChrist #UndeservedBlessings #Deuteronomy9 #ChristianCoaching #Sanctification #christianfaith Music: bensound.comArtist: Benjamin TissotLicense code: KZUTVCEPXONGVEFV
Do you find yourself taking full credit for your achievements, believing your talent and hard work alone paved the way to success? In a world obsessed with the "self-made" hero, it's easy to dismiss the unseen hand that truly orchestrates every blessing, every opportunity. But what if this deep-seated pride, this belief in your own merit, is actually blinding you to the profound grace of God and the ultimate purpose He has for your life?Join Coach Shaw in Part 1 of this vital message: Undeserved Blessings. He'll tear down the walls of self-sufficiency, revealing a life-changing truth: that every good thing in your life is a gift, not a reward for your own efforts. Dive into Deuteronomy Chapter 9, where Moses confronts ancient arrogance, exposing why entitlement blinds us to God's boundless provision.Because when we truly grasp that every blessing is a gift, it shifts our focus from simply winning worldly games to dedicating our lives to winning souls for Christ.In this eye-opening message, you'll discover:Why the Israelites' inheritance of the Promised Land (and your own blessings) had nothing to do with their merit, and everything to do with God's promise and judgment.How the "self-made" myth can lead to spiritual arrogance and boastfulness, hindering your relationship with God.The crucial difference between worldly "character building" and a foundation firmly rooted in Christ, our only Rock.Why obedience is not optional, but essential for receiving and maintaining God's blessings and promises (exploring the "do this or else" principle).The profound reason God sometimes leaves "thorns in the flesh" or "Anakite giants" in our path during our sanctification walk: to make us lean on Him completely.How understanding undeserved blessings compels us to use our gifts and platforms for God's ultimate purpose: winning souls, not just games.If this video impacts you, please give it a thumbs up, subscribe to Coach for Christ for more empowering truth, and share it with someone who needs to hear this message!#UndeservedBlessings #GodsGrace #ChristianHumility #SelfMadeMyth #CoachForChrist #SpiritualGrowth #ObedienceToGod #Sanctification #WinningSouls #Deuteronomy #FaithAndWorks #ChristianLiving #TrustGod #BiblicalTruth #NoBoasting #GodsSovereignty
A Coward Will Not Inherit the Kingdom of GodWhat does it truly mean to be a man? Our culture tells us it's about toughness, tattoos, and fighting with your fists. But what if true strength lies in something far more courageous?In this powerful message, A Coward Will Not..., we challenge the world's definition of masculinity and confront the spirit of cowardice in our lives. Diving deep into Psalm 91 and Matthew 10, we learn to choose the Sword of the Spirit, fight spiritual battles, and bring the uncompromising truth of God's Word into our families and our lives.In this video, you'll discover:The shocking truth about what the Bible calls a "coward" (Revelation 21:8).Why God's Word is your ultimate shield and defense system.The stark parallel between a man who refuses to fight physically and one who refuses to fight spiritually.Why strength without spiritual knowledge and wisdom will always lead to defeat.The danger of chasing "false peace" and compromising on the truth to avoid division.Join the MissionIf you're ready to lay down your carnal sword and pick up the Sword of the Spirit, like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with a man or woman who needs to hear this powerful message.#CoachForChrist #ACowardWillNot #SpiritualWarfare #Psalm91 #Matthew10 #ChristianMasculinity #BibleStudy #ChristianFaith

What happens when fear and a lack of commitment lead us to "spiritual suicide"?In this deep dive, Coach Shelby unpacks why it's crucial to submit your ways to the Lord, not just your plans. The calling of God on your life will always bring the opponent of fear. Fear was meant to be overcome by faith. Without an obstacle, there can be no known victory. Think about sports and the purpose!

(Matthew 22:14)The Anointing of King Saul & The Opponent of Fear: Examine Saul's initial anointing and how fear, the inevitable opponent, tests faith and the calling.

What happens when a king rejects God's word? In this powerful message from Jeremiah 36, Coach Shaw unpacks the story of King Jehoiakim, who famously burned the prophet's scroll, and reveals the timeless lessons it holds for us today. Is it possible for even Christians to fall into the same trap of self-determination and disobedience?Drawing parallels between Jehoiakim's actions and modern-day attitudes toward God's word, this sermon explores the dangerous consequences of ignoring divine authority and twisting scripture to fit our desires. Learn how this ancient story serves as a stark warning for believers in a world that often rejects God.In this eye-opening message, you'll discover:(1) The King's Fatal Choice: Understand why Jehoiakim's deliberate destruction of the scroll was a personal and contemptuous act of rebellion against God.(2)The Consequences of Disobedience: Explore the far-reaching impact of Jehoiakim's actions, affecting not only himself but his family and his entire nation.(3)The Contrast with Josiah: See the profound difference between Jehoiakim's hardened heart and his father Josiah's repentant response to God's word.(4)Modern Parallels: Recognize how Jehoiakim's rejection of God's word mirrors the way many people, even within Christianity, twist scripture or outright ignore it today.(5)The Enduring Power of God's Word: Be reminded that despite human attempts to silence or distort it, God's word remains eternal and unchanging.(6) A Call to Repentance and Obedience: Discover the path to true freedom and peace, rooted in returning to God and resting in His unchanging truth.Don't ignore the warnings of the past!

Get ready for a direct, no-holds-barred challenge! In this powerful sermon, Coach Shelby delivers a vital message: Real Coaching = Christian Accountability. Drawing a compelling parallel between the demanding world of sports and the call to authentic faith, this video challenges the comfortable notions of modern Christianity, urging believers to embrace the tough love and discipline necessary for true spiritual growth."Why do we not care as much about Christians' growth as we do our athletes'?" Just as a dedicated coach pushes players to their full potential, even when it's uncomfortable, Coach Shelby explains that true Christian love involves holding ourselves and one another to God's uncompromising standards.

The pre-tribulation rapture doctrine is a widely accepted belief, but what does the Bible truly say about Christ's return? In this deep dive into 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and other key scriptures, Coach Shaw challenges the popular notion of a secret, pre-tribulational rapture, arguing that it's a relatively new teaching with dangerous implications for believers.Drawing on Greek word definitions and contextual biblical interpretation, this video meticulously debunks common misinterpretations, revealing a powerful and visible return of Christ as a conquering King, not a quiet snatching away. Learn why understanding the timing of the rapture is crucial for preparing yourself and your family for the days ahead.In this eye-opening message, you'll discover:The true meaning of "Keleusma" (Commanding Shout): Uncover why this Greek word, used to describe Christ's return, signifies a military command and not a secret departure.The "Perusia" of the King: Understand the ancient meaning of "coming" and "arrival" as a visible, royal procession, not a hidden event.Why God's People "Remain": Explore the significance of being "alive and remain" through tribulation, preparing to meet Christ.The Last Trumpet's Significance: Learn how biblical references to the "last trumpet" clearly point to the end of the age, not a prior rapture.The Purpose of the Righteous' Ascent: Understand that the gathering of believers into the air is to escort Christ to His conquered earth, not to escape.The Problem with a "Sneak Away" Jesus: Contemplate the character implications of a pre-tribulational rapture for Jesus's relationship with His Bride.Preparing for the Future: Recognize the vital importance of being prepared to face tribulation, rather than expecting to avoid it.Don't be unprepared!

Can you truly love God while being deeply entangled with the things of this world? This week, Coach Shelby delivers a raw and urgent message, questioning the existence of "liberal Christianity." From the distractions of social media and entertainment to the idols we unknowingly serve, are we truly living a life that reflects our claimed faith?Join us as Coach Shelby examines what it means to guard your heart, separate from worldly influences, and wholeheartedly pursue a relationship with God. This is a call to examine your priorities, confront the idols in your life, and choose whether you truly serve the Kingdom or the fleeting pleasures of the world.
Did you have that pure, unshakeable trust in God as a child? Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." This isn't just a sentimental notion; it's a foundational truth for our faith journey. Psalm 71 speaks to a lifelong walk with God, from the dependence of youth to proclaiming His power in old age. But have we, as adults, truly embraced the humility and trust of a child that Jesus calls us to? Or have the complexities of life obscured this essential way of relating to God? In this message we explore what it means to have a heart "Just Like A Child," to help us rediscover the beauty and strength found in humble dependence on God throughout every stage of life. #childlikefaith #Matthew18 #Psalm71 #TrustInGod #FaithJourney
Ever feel that tug-of-war between the comforting idea of escape and the gritty realities Jesus described? He spoke of a time like Noah's and Lot's – sudden judgment amidst the ordinary. In this message, we're not chasing comfortable illusions. We're digging into Luke 17:26-37 and other eye-opening passages to confront a pivotal question: Is the "rapture" a secret flight before the storm, or is the Bible pointing to a different kind of gathering? Let's wrestle with these powerful scriptures and seek truth, not just comfort. #EndTimes #RaptureTruth #BibleProphecy #faithjourney
We often crave peace, don't we? Smooth relationships, comfortable coexistence. As followers of Jesus, love and unity are certainly ideals we strive for. But have you ever wrestled with the fact that Jesus himself declared, in Matthew 10:34, "Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword"? That's a jarring statement. A sword? What kind of peace is this?And what about in Ezekiel 33, where a watchman is appointed. His job isn't to keep everyone feeling good or to avoid ruffling feathers. No, his duty is to sound the alarm when danger approaches, even if that alarm shatters the current silence, even if it causes fear and disruption. His silence, in the face of threat, carries a heavy consequence.In this video, we're going to unpack this tension between our desire for harmony and the often-uncomfortable necessity of truth. Are you prioritizing a superficial peace over the vital, sometimes disruptive, truth of God? Are you being a faithful watchman, even when the message isn't popular?

Do the things you do every day line up with the things you say you believe? We Christians can be quick to profess our faith, we talk about love, forgiveness, and following Jesus.

Man was created within time. It is impossible to hold faith in God until you realize He is not confined by time nor exists in time as we know it. Time is for us to choose Him for eternity. Psalm 90

Mark 4 tells us about how the Word of God is sown. This also could relate to a one in four welcome into Gods kingdom of people world wide, or is it one in four from the self proclaimed body of Christ???
