What happens when God asks you to lay down the very thing you love the most? Whether it's a career path, a hard-earned identity, or a relationship, true provision always meets us at the intersection of absolute surrender. In this special episode of ComTalk, Dallas takes us behind the scenes of his pastoral life to share a raw, live message he recently delivered following an incredible week at youth camp. Diving deep into Genesis 22, Dallas dismantles the traditional Sunday-school assumptions surrounding Abraham and Isaac. By examining the visceral reality of a 37-year-old Isaac willingly carrying the means of his own demise, this message challenges us to look honestly at our lives: Are we building walls of isolation out of fear, or are we ready to experience the true meaning of Jehovah Jireh? Whether you are a lifelong believer looking for a deeper theological shift, or someone wrestling with fear and the pressures of modern success, this episode will challenge you to step out from behind your walls and discover what God has already provided on the mountain. ✨ SUPPORT THE MINISTRY Our passion is letting geeks know they are loved, and we can't do this without our incredible community.

In this message from Matthew 15:29–16:4, Pastor Karl examines two very different groups of people who come to Jesus — and what their approach reveals about how we receive grace.The first group comes from the Decapolis, a Gentile region with no religious standing or covenant claim. They bring broken bodies, unspoken needs, and nothing to offer — and Jesus meets them with compassion, healing, and even provision they didn't know to ask for. The second group, the Pharisees and Sadducees, arrives with suspicion and a demand for proof — and Jesus refuses to perform for them.The contrast surfaces a powerful truth: Jesus has endless compassion for those who come to him needy, but no obligation to satisfy those who come feeling entitled. Unworthiness isn't a disqualification for grace — it's the prerequisite for it.Pastor Karl unpacks why the disciples hesitated to feed the 4,000 (it wasn't that they forgot what Jesus could do — it was that they questioned who he'd do it for), what it really means to "fall from grace," and why the cross is the only reliable lens through which to interpret God's love. When we bring our "not enough" to Jesus, we find that inadequacy is exactly the raw material he's looking for.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
The sermon presents the altar call as a biblically grounded, spiritually vital practice rooted in the biblical concept of prayer and the sanctuary's typology, emphasizing that while the physical altar of sacrifice is fulfilled in Christ's once-for-all atonement, the altar of incense—symbolizing continual prayer—remains eternally relevant. Drawing from Psalm 65:2 and the tabernacle's structure, it highlights God's universal invitation to all people to come to Him in prayer, with the church as the modern-day house of prayer where believers are sanctified and interceded for by Christ, who now lives to make intercession. The sermon calls for a revival of the altar call not as a ritual, but as a heartfelt, ongoing commitment to prayer, contrasting the fleeting memory of sermons with the enduring power of prayer, and urging the congregation to model a culture of persistent, personal communion with God in the church's sacred space.

Pastor Robert Tisdale preaches a message titled “Mud” from John 9:6, focusing on how Jesus healed a man blind from birth by making mud and putting it on his eyes before sending him to wash in the pool of Siloam. He emphasizes that before restoration is visible, people may look messier, feel heavier, and face embarrassment while the miracle is still in process, but faith keeps moving toward obedience. He warns against people who analyze pain, assign blame, and turn suffering into debate, noting Jesus refused the disciples' blame question and instead pointed to God's works being manifested. He teaches that God does creative miracles with “dirt,” reframes pain into purpose, and calls the church to pray and believe for spiritual, physical, mental, and natural miracles.00:00 Prayer and Setup00:44 Mud Miracle Theme03:14 Creator Meets Creation04:18 Born Blind and Labeled05:54 Blame Game Warning11:54 From Explanation to Glory16:36 God Works in Dirt19:16 Messy Miracle Process24:04 Life Mud vs Jesus Mud26:55 Obedience to Siloam30:30 Altar Call and Prayer
The sermon calls for a revival of the altar call as a biblically grounded practice rooted in the church's identity as a house of prayer, emphasizing that God's house should be known for prayer among all nations and people. Drawing from Revelation, Isaiah, and the example of Solomon and Daniel, it argues that corporate and personal prayer at the church's gathering—especially after preaching—fulfills Christ's command to make His house a place of prayer and is essential for spiritual awakening, national intercession, and personal renewal. The preacher contends that the decline of altar calls since the late 20th century has contributed to diminished evangelistic fervor, weakened spiritual vitality, and a misplaced focus on good activities over the best—prayer—and urges the congregation to reclaim this practice as a vital expression of love for God and a means of receiving divine power. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, calling believers to immediate response, intercession for leaders, families, the lost, and the nation, and to see the church as a sacred space where heaven hears when prayers are offered toward it.

This sermon passionately advocates for a revival of the altar call as a vital expression of corporate worship and spiritual awakening, rooted in the biblical concept of the church as God's house—a place designated for prayer, repentance, and divine encounter. Drawing from Scripture, particularly Psalm 69, Isaiah 56, and Jesus' cleansing of the temple, the message emphasizes that God's house is meant to be a sanctuary of prayer for all nations, where believers come to commune with Him, seek His will, and intercede for the world. The speaker draws on personal memories of past revivals in the 1960s–1980s, highlighting how fervent prayer, altar calls, and evangelistic zeal transformed communities and strengthened national morality, urging the church today to reclaim that spiritual fervor. By calling believers to prioritize prayer, model it before the young, and respond to God's prompting with boldness, the sermon presents the altar call not as a mere ritual but as a powerful, biblical means of spiritual renewal and national restoration.

In this message, Pastor Karl digs into the third and fourth parables of Matthew 13 — the Mustard Seed and the Leaven — and recovers an interpretation that the earliest church held for the first three centuries: these are not simply triumphant stories of kingdom growth, but diagnostic warnings about corruption quietly taking root within it.Using the memorable image of an unnaturally oversized Chihuahua, Pastor Karl challenges the assumption that bigger always means better — in culture, in church, and in personal faith. Just because something grows doesn't mean it's healthy. God designs everything with a DNA, and when growth outpaces its intended nature, something has gone wrong.From the Mustard Seed, the lesson is clear: a church that softens or reshapes Scripture to fit cultural comfort is one where corruption has found a home. Health — not size — is the measure that matters.From the Leaven, the warning cuts even deeper: what is hidden eventually spreads, and what spreads eventually shapes. Compromise never announces itself. It blends in, seeps slowly, and before long, convictions weaken, hunger for God fades, and obedience stalls.Pastor Karl closes with a pointed and personal call: audit your inputs, don't outgrow your obedience, and do serious business with the leaven you've allowed to stay too long.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

In Week 1 of our April series, Gospel-Centered Ministry, hosts Brent & David challenge a common tendency in youth ministry: reducing the Gospel to a single moment.While altar calls, camps, and emotional responses can be powerful, the Gospel was never meant to stay a one-time experience—it's meant to shape a lifetime.In this episode, Brent & David explore what it looks like to move from moment-driven ministry to formation-focused discipleship, especially in light of the resurrection.Together they discuss:Why the Gospel is more than a one-time decisionThe difference between emotional moments and spiritual formationHow the resurrection reshapes everyday discipleshipWhat it looks like to build Gospel-centered environments for studentsThis conversation is an invitation to rethink what success in youth ministry really looks like—and to lead students into a faith that lasts.Because at the end of the day: The Gospel doesn't just save students—it shapes them.Help Us Spread the WordIf this episode encouraged you, we'd love your help sharing it with others.

This sermon teaches that a real move of God brings spiritual “shaking,” dividing reactions just as in Acts 2, and continuing through Acts as revival exposes hidden things and disrupts what was settled. Focusing on Acts 16, it describes Paul's divine redirection to Philippi, the power of prayer, and the deliverance of a girl with a “python” spirit tied to a profitable demonic economy, showing how bondage benefits systems and why freedom creates resistance. The message emphasizes discernment and God's timing, waiting in alignment before acting in authority, and explains how deliverance threatens the “strong man” and provokes backlash, leading to Paul and Silas being beaten and imprisoned. At midnight they pray and sing Passover hymns from Psalms, declaring freedom before it manifests, and the sermon calls listeners to seek deliverance through worship and altar prayer.00:00 Shaken Not Stirred00:34 Acts Two Reactions02:41 Revival Disrupts Everything04:38 Acts Sixteen Setup07:20 Divine Positioning10:05 Revival Starts With Prayer12:34 Python Spirit Exposed13:57 Profiting From Bondage16:35 Truth From Wrong Source18:49 Discernment And Timing21:04 Maturity Waits On God24:05 Freedom Triggers Backlash25:51 The Strongman Fights Back27:09 Overthrow the Strongman29:05 Resistance When Darkness Breaks31:12 Command the Spirit Go35:30 Crowd Panic and Contagion37:37 God Sends You to Philippi39:46 Midnight Worship in Chains41:17 Passover Psalms Praise43:56 Declare Freedom Before Seeing48:20 Prayer and Altar Call4edeac90-2929-11f1-8c14-93854e1d29be

This week on Youth Group Chronicles, Sam is joined by Isaiah Smallwood and Dustin Coe for an episode stacked with awkward moments, secondhand embarrassment, and stories that spiral fast. The centerpiece of the episode is a baffling altar call that goes completely sideways when no one responds, setting the tone for a run of youth group chaos that includes an innocent laugh at the worst possible moment, a prayer time that takes an unexpected turn, a camp injury that happens in a split second, and several moments that leaders definitely weren't trained for. From church events gone wrong to ministry situations that leave everyone frozen, this episode is a reminder that youth group rarely goes according to plan…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
THE GOD WHO IS… Overflowing with Loyal LoveHave you ever filled out a job application and they say “tell us about yourself – describe your personality ; your core values”. You know what you write down is going to reveal whether you are qualified or the right fit for the job… If you started out, “I'm basically a good guy… sharp, creative, personable, responsible…. BUT don't mess with me before my coffee in the morning – whoa – I can be grumpy and moody… Or Im pretty organized, but don't look in my closet… Or I'm patient – I get along with people but there's things that push my buttons… whoa unto you if you do… THE BEAR COMES OUT OF THE CAVE…This would not be recommended if you are looking for a job in HRSociologists say, there are over 4,000 religions in the world – cut and pasted from ancient beliefs and creeds as well as modern day thought…. Many of them with the same question – WHO ARE YOU GOD? Today – we are going to look again about what God says about HimselfWE ARE IN SERIES – THE GOD WHO IS…Looking at the history of the Children of Israel – the IsraelitesGod has chosen them to reveal Himself to the whole world – His nature, His desires, His eternal plan.He promises to keep a covenant with them that He made to their forefathers 1000 years prior – that He would be there God… Fast forward – the foundation of that covenant is now extended through Christ to you and me – That He would be Our GodAs God begins to form and develop the Israelites into His People – essentially Moses asks the same questions in the book of Exodus 33 _ He asks God to reveal Himself - in Exodus 34… Only a few times in Scripture – God describes Himself – His character and nature – our anchor text is the moment when God reveals His own character:FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTUREExodus 34:6–7 (NIV) The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and graciousGod, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished; He punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.We've looked at God's “Self Description:Compassionate — a God moved in His deepest being by our pain.Gracious — a God who gives delightfully undeserved gifts.Slow to anger — a God who is patient and does not rush to judgment.Today we come to the fourth phrase:“abounding in love” — or as we'll say it: “overflowing with loyal love.”LET'S TALK ABOUT “LOYAL LOVE”INTRODUCTION — WHEN SOMEONE STAYSMost of us know what it feels like to wonder if someone will stay.You messed up in a relationship…You failed to follow through on a promise…You disappointed someone who believed in you…And deep down, you're asking:“Are you still here? Or is this the moment you walk away?”Think about those rare moments when instead of walking away, that personlooks you in the eye and says:“I'm hurt - I'm honest about that…but I'm not going anywhere.I made a promise, and I intend to keep it.”That is more than forgiveness. That is more than a second chance.That is a kind of stubborn grace — a love that doesn't just pardon you, it stays with you.In Scripture, that stubborn, promise-keeping, staying love is not just something God does…It is something God is.I. THE HEBREW WORD —KHESED חֶסֶ (Khawsed) The word translated “love” here is the Hebrew word khesed (חֶסֶד).KHESED IS ONE OF THE RICHEST, HARDEST-TO-TRANSLATE WORDS IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE.NO SINGLE ENGLISH WORD CAPTURES IT.It combines these qualities:Love – genuine affection and care.Generosity – going above and beyond what's required.Enduring commitment – a promise that sticks, even when it hurts.So you'll see it translated in Bible versions as:“steadfast love”“great love”“unfailing love”“lovingkindness”“mercy”“loyal love”Khesed describes promise-keeping loyalty motivated by deep personalcare.How do we contrast it to our ”natural love”, our transactional love? Not contract.Not cold obligation.Not “I'll do my part if you do yours.”Khesed is:“I'm not leaving.I'm not quitting.I'm not withdrawing my heart.”My commitment is not based on your performance, but based on my character of keeping vows, looking passed flaws; being quick to forgive; knowing your potential, trusting your growth; and believing the best;DO YOU HAVE ANY FRIENDS LIKE THAT? COVENANT FRIENDS?

RUTH — The Lord gave us a s story to reveal it - A HUMAN PICTURE OF KHESEDOne of the clearest illustrations of khesed is found in the OT book of Ruth.Ruth is a Moabite woman from an outside tribe – she married into an Israelite family.Her husband dies.His brother dies. – according to custom – next in line to provideHer father-in-law dies – last line of supportAll that's left are three widows: Naomi is Ruth's mother-in -law… left with the other two widowed daughters-in-law.Naomi has nothing left to offer.No income.No security.No future.She tells Ruth“Go back to your people. Start over. There's nothing for you with me.”From a human perspective, the logical thing is to leave.But Ruth does the opposite.She says, in essence:“Where you go, I'll go.Your people will be my people.Your God will be my God.I will stay with you—until death.”She binds her future to Naomi's empty future.She chooses the hard, costly road of staying.And as the story unfolds and people watch Ruth keep this promise, they call her faithfulness acts of khesed (see Ruth 3:10–11).Ruth's khesed is not based on Naomi's usefulness, worth, or ability to repay.It is a window into Ruth's character.She is a person of loyal love.She is a person of generous, promise-keeping commitment.And that is what khesed looks like in human form.III. GOD'S KHESED TO JACOB — LOYAL LOVE TO A DECEIVERBut as inspiring as Ruth is, the Bible is clear: No one shows more khesed than God.From earlier generations - Take Jacob – son of IssacJacob is not a moral hero.He lies.He deceives his father.He cheats his brother.He manipulates situations for his own advantage.Yet God chooses Jacob.God repeats to him the promise He gave to Jacob's grandfather- Abraham:“I'm going to bless you, give you many descendants, and through your family I will bless the nations.”Jacob runs away in fear and shame.For twenty years he lives in exile.Then, on the way back home, terrified of facing his brother, Esau – whom he has cheated for his birthright, Jacob prays:Genesis 32:10 (ESV)“I am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of khesed (steadfast love) and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.”Jacob is right.He is not worthy.But that's the point.God's khesed was never based on Jacob's worth.It was never “If you perform, I'll stay.”It was always “I have chosen you, and I am committed to My promise.”God's khesed is a display of God's generous loyalty, not Jacob's behavior.IV. GOD'S KHESED TO ISRAEL — HE KEEPS RESCUINGGod's khesed continues into the story of Jacob's descendants—Israel.They end up enslaved in Egypt for hundreds of years.We're told that God “remembers His covenant” with Abraham and Jacob.To “remember” in Hebrew doesn't mean God forgot.It means God is about to act in faithfulness to His promise.So God defeats Egypt, raises up Moses, and leads Israel toward the promisedland.In the song of Moses, after the Red Sea, they sing:Exodus 15:13 (ESV) “You have led in your steadfast love (khesed) the people whom you have redeemed…”Their liberation is called an act of khesed because God is keeping His word.But the story doesn't stay triumphant for long.On the way to the promised land, Israel sees the nations around them, and feargrips their hearts.They doubt that God can protect them.They talk about appointing a new leader to take them back to slavery in Egypt.They are ready to kill Moses.LET THAT SINK IN:God has rescued them.God has provided for them.God has revealed Himself to them. And they want to go back to bondage.God is understandably hurt and angry.But in Numbers 14, Moses intercedes:Numbers 14:19 (NIV) “In accordance with your great love (khesed), forgive the sin of these people…”Moses doesn't base his request on Israel's behavior.He bases it on God's character.“God, be who You are. Do what is consistent with Your khesed.”And God does. He forgives.He recommits Himself to a people who don't want to be committed to Him.V. HUMAN LOVE VS. GOD'S LOYAL LOVEIn the Bible, God is loyal and loving for no other reason than that's who He is.Of course, God desires His people to respond with khesed in return—to love Him truly, to keep covenant, to love others with the same loyal love.But even when they don't… God's khesed remains.The prophet Hosea says:Hosea 6:4 - Israel's khesed is “like the morning mist” —here one moment, gone the next.Our loyalty is often fragile.Our commitment is often temporary.Our promises are often conditional.But God's khesed is enduring.That's why Psalm 136 opens with:“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good…”And then repeats 26 times:“for His khesed (steadfast love) endures forever.”Over creation.Over history.Over rebellion.Over enemies.Over everything.God's loyal love outlasts human unfaithfulness.VI. JESUS — THE FULLNESS OF GOD'S LOYAL LOVEAfter centuries of Israel breaking their covenant,and after humanity's long history of violence, idolatry, and death…God still keeps His promise in the most dramatic way possible:He becomes human.In Jesus, God binds Himself to us in a new and deeper way.The New Testament writers reach for words like:agapē (ἀγάπη) – self-giving, sacrificial love.eleos (ἔλεος) – mercy, compassion in action.charis (χάρις) – gracious gift, undeserved favor.All of these overlap with the Old Testament idea of khesed.In John 1, we're told that Jesus comes “full of grace and truth.”That phrase “grace and truth” echoes the Hebrew pairing khesed we'emet —“loyal love and faithfulness.”The early followers of Jesus looked at Him and said:“In Him, we have encountered the God of Israelwho is full of loyal love and faithfulness.”Jesus is:The ultimate loyal and loving human,The perfect image of God's khesed in a human life,The one who loves “to the end” (John 13:1).In His life, death, and resurrection, God opens a new future for us and allcreation.Not because we earned it…But because this is who God is:Generous.Loving.Eternally loyal to His promises.VII. WHEN GOD'S LOYAL LOVE TOUCHES USWhen we truly experience the purity and power of God's loyal love shownthrough Jesus, it doesn't leave us neutral.It compels us.It moves us.It reorients us.We begin to reimagine:Why we love God.How we love people.What commitment looks like in a world of easy exits.Because if this kind of khesed is in God's character,it should begin to show up in our character.VIII. HOW WE SHOW KHESED BACK TO GOD AND OTHERS1. Khesed toward God — measured and revealed in faithful devotion, not occasional attention.If God has bound Himself to us in covenant love, we respond not with “casual spirituality,” but with whole-hearted devotion.Choosing Him when it's costly.Trusting Him when we don't see the way.Obeying Him when it would be easier to compromise.We don't earn His khesed by doing this.We reflect His khesed by doing this.2. Khesed toward people — “Staying” love in a Leaving world. We live in a culture of:ghosting,cancelling,quitting,disposable relationships. God calls His people to a different way:In marriage: keeping vows when feelings fluctuate.In friendship: showing up when there's nothing to gain.In church: staying engaged, serving, forgiving, building, instead ofbouncing at the first offense.In community: caring for the vulnerable when they can't pay you back.ILLUST: MARRIAGE - I CHOOSE YOU… OVER AND OVER AGAIN – 45 YEARSIn marriage, I chose you and I choose you againWhen I first begin to date… sitting in her living room – 2 phone calls from different guys – no cell phones or voicemails… I think- shes got a few choices Then she tells me a “friend” from UCSB is coming down… wants to go to dinnerFine.. no problem… you are friends… “God, if Jan is the one it will all work out”… sitting there watching ‘sports center:… How good of friends are they? AM I THE CHOSEN ONE? - “God if he tries to kiss her – take a coal from your altar and scorch his lips”A desire to be chosen… our commitment to that choice has protected our vows for 45 years Khesed IS COVENENTAL LOVE . IT says:“Even when you're empty, I won't withdraw.Even when this is hard, I won't run.Even when you have little to offer, I'll keep showing up.”Not because people always deserve it, but because God is forming His loyal love in us.3. Khesed toward the undeserving — because that's how God loved us.Remember Jacob.Remember Israel.Remember you.We love with khesed not because people have earned it,but because God extended it to us first.“We love because He first loved us.”Story – I'll call him “ Bryan” (Ryan Inclan) – from Passover Days- 25 years agoPaul Rogers from Intervarsity invited himBryan - Struggling w faith and as much with identity and habitsPaul moved – asked me if I would stay in touch with Bryan – and asked if he could give Bryan my number – I naively said “yes” not really knowing what that would mean - That was probably 25 years ago… Bryan died about a month ago now. Bryan moved to the Bay Area - fought major Bipolar Disorder along with several other Psychological disorders,He'd call up, friendly, hopeful. In a small group - happyThen weeks later - Midnight texts – desperate, self -hating… just been online doing things in chat rooms – struggling with sexual identity… pray for meI'd leave scripture messages – reinforcing this is Who You Are Now… encouraging him to connect with a church – he tried several churches – goes good – then collapses; there was always an enemy – somebody hurt him; offended him; doesn't understand himThrough the years - Dad dies; mother dies… desperationPaul & I drove to SF to get him in a psych hospitalThen Weeks – no communication… maybe he's better… connected with a local group… no… in relapse… hiding… ashamedTwo months later - manic weeks – all is better… I found a mens group – im praying againMANY TIMES – Im done… You are way beyond my comfort zone… And my pay gradeSomehow we would re-connect – late night 1 hr caounseling calls … Jan would shake her headHe got liver cancer about 6 months ago… Me and a group of people on a Text thread – praying emoji's, heart emoji's… encouraging words and prayersHe died in peace, believing – GOSPELS – Guys tearing open a roof to lower a friend down to be healed. For 25 years – tearing off guilt, shame, mental torment in short seasons of relief…Bryan finally made it – now he is healedIX. PRACTICAL QUESTIONS FOR OUR HEARTSWhere am I tempted to walk away instead of stay?Where am I loving only as long as it benefits me?Where is God calling me to reflect His loyal love by keeping a promise,extending grace, or refusing to give up?And deeper still:Where have I underestimated God's loyalty to me?Some of you live like God is one failure away from leaving.In Exodus 34 and the whole story of Scripture shout:“His khesed endures forever.”His love Is LOYAL – so much so that:He may discipline. He may confront. But all for your best interestHe may hand you over to the consequences of your choices for a season, so we see clearly the destructive paths we are on.He does not abandon His promises to be with you and guide you through.He does not abandon His people. He is an Everlasting Father.He does not abandon His plan of redemption – toward you or anyone who calls upon HimCONCLUSION — THE GOD WHO WILL NOT LET GOSo when God says of Himself:“I am abounding in love…”He is saying:“I am overflowing with khesed—with loyal, generous, enduring love.I keep My promises.I stay.I do not quit on what I have begun.”Jesus is the ultimate proof of that.He stepped into our story.He took on our flesh.He bore our sin.He rose with new life.He promised to be with us “always, even to the end of the age.”This is THE GOD WHO IS OVERFLOWING WITH LOYAL LOVE.And if that is who He is, then by the power of His Spirit, that is who He is shaping us to become.ALTAR CALL… He is loyal in his love for us… Even when we aren't feeling itMaybe this is new to you – this foreign kind of unconditional love – it was for me – works basedMaybe you sense it right now – he does love you; He wants you to know him… and enter into this Loyal Love we are talking about.You might say – “I'll never be able to keep my end of the deal… I‘ve got too much stuff going on… Yea – but I can say “you've never been loved like this before…” It's transformativeIt starts w Romans 10:9-10 – a vow Altar Call – side room you sense He's pulled back or away from you… But I would ask… Have you pulled back from HimThere are places and things He won't condone or endorse… again It's about love… Strength to break free and walk it out..As we close – make a commitment to come up hereNext time, we'll look at the fifth trait in this powerful description:“THE GOD WHO IS FAITHFUL.” But today, may we rest in His loyal love,and may we mirror that loyal loveto a world that desperately needs to see it.
Seeking God and His Guidance The importance of seeking God with one’s whole heart and soul. When out in the world, there was no seeking of God. After giving life to God, seeking Him became a priority. God came seeking when lost, now seeking Him for guidance. Encouragement to seek God, ask for help, and get closer to Him. People wandering in the wilderness need only seek God for help. Seek God expecting an answer and guidance. Avoid being half-hearted in seeking God. Listening for God’s Answer The need to listen for God’s answer after asking for help. God’s answer may not be what one wants to hear. Obey the Word of God and do what He wants you to do. Personal experiences of God speaking. God speaks in different ways, sometimes strongly, sometimes as a whisper. God has never failed to answer prayers, though timing is on His time. Faith that prayers for salvation for others will be answered. Humbling oneself before God in prayer. Praying at the altar for lost people, the church, and the pastor. God hears prayers and will heal. God’s Unwavering Presence and the Comforter God will never leave nor forsake. Acknowledging times of leaving God, but the sweetness of returning. God is present when one can’t go any further without Him. God’s welcome upon returning to Him. After being away from faith, God restored faith and welcomed back. God puts His arm around and welcomes back with love. The promise of the Comforter (Holy Ghost). Jesus sent a Comforter. The importance of the Holy Ghost in life and ministry. Fear that the true Holy Spirit would scare some people. Altar Call and Invitation to Prayer Offering an altar call for those in need of prayer. The altar is not just for the lost, but for the saved as well. If there is a need, talk it over with God. Any place can be a place to talk to God. Home, car, truck, tractor, or lawn mower. The altar is a good place to come and talk to God. Invitation to come forward and pray.

Pastor Greg Mitchell closes San Antonio Conference with “Courage to Conquer” from 1 Chronicles 19:8–15. When Joab was surrounded front and back, he didn't fold—he planned, split his forces, and cooperated with Abishai.
