What if the greatest evangelism strategy isn't a strategy at all?In this episode of the Open ARMS Podcast, we explore Chapter 6: "We're Relational to BLESS Others." In a world that prizes efficiency, productivity, and technology, God continues to accomplish His greatest work through ordinary people who intentionally love and bless the people around them.Jesus rarely treated people like projects. He built relationships. He listened. He ate meals. He served. He forgave. He loved. Long before people believed His message, they experienced His presence.The same is true today.We'll explore the biblical foundation for living a life that intentionally BLESSES others, practical ways to deepen relationships with neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family, and why genuine love often opens doors that arguments never can.Whether you're naturally outgoing or quietly introverted, God has uniquely positioned you to become a blessing exactly where you live, work, learn, and play.Because changed lives usually begin with trusted relationships.In this episode you'll discover:Why relationships are God's preferred mission fieldHow Jesus modeled relational evangelismWhat it really means to BLESS someoneSimple ways to become more intentional every dayWhy loving people often speaks louder than winning argumentsIf this conversation encourages you, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share it with someone who wants to make a greater difference for Christ.You can also pick up a copy of Open ARMS: Connecting People to Jesus and learn how God can use ordinary relationships to accomplish extraordinary things.

Are you struggling with the concept of prosperity in your spiritual walk? Javan Smith challenges the misperceptions surrounding biblical prosperity and unveils God's divine purpose for wealth in your life.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS...SURRENDERED TO JESUS+ Is God's presence becoming my greatest desire, or have I settled for simply wanting His blessings?+ Where is Jesus patiently reshaping my heart to reflect His justice, mercy, holiness, and love?SENT ON MISSION:+ How is Jesus inviting me to become a bridge that helps someone else draw closer to God?+ How does my treatment of the vulnerable, overlooked, or difficult people around me reflect the justice and compassion of Jesus?+ Is there a relationship in my life that Jesus is inviting me to pursue reconciliation?COMMITTED TO ONE ANOTHER:+ How can our church become known more for the presence of Jesus than for our personalities, preferences, or programs?+ Who can I invite around a table with me this week, to strengthen and/or restore our relationship with each other?
"One gives freely, yet gains even more..." — Proverbs 11:24Just like the tire pressure light on your car's dashboard warns you when a tire is deflating, our spiritual lives show warning signs when we stop pouring out into others. In the final message of our "Dashboard Faith" series, titled "Serving Others," Pastor Rob reveals the essential missing link in our discipleship journey.Many of us want to grow, but we try to do it by only consuming. The truth is, your faith will always hit a ceiling until you start serving. True discipleship requires us to Connect, Grow, and SERVE. Join us as we look at how giving actually stretches our faith, helps us discover our unique purpose, and creates the vital margin we need to make room for God to move.IN THIS MESSAGE:The River of Life: Why "giving is living" and how serving turns the stagnant areas of your life into thriving, fresh water.Finding Your Role: Discovering that church isn't a theater where you watch, but a body where you have a specific ministry to complete.The Margin Equation: Why your spiritual growth is directly tied to the space you leave in your schedule. (Ability – Schedule = Margin!)SERMON NOTES & OUTLINE:I. WE BLESS OTHERSServing stretches our faith. When we hoard our time, talent, and treasure, we become spiritually poor. When we give freely, God expands our capacity.Scripture: Ezekiel 47:9, Luke 6:38, Proverbs 11:24II. WE BECOME THE CHURCHYou have a specific place, purpose, and spiritual gift. Leaders exist to help you find that role, but it is up to you to see to it that you complete the ministry you've received.Scripture: Ephesians 4:11-12, Colossians 4:17, John 17:4III. WE MAKE ROOM FOR GODDo you actually have any room in your life for the Holy Spirit? If your schedule matches your maximum ability, you have zero margin for a miracle. To let God increase, we must decrease.Scripture: Ephesians 5:18, John 3:30, 2 Kings 3 & 4OUR DISCIPLESHIP BLUEPRINT:To get to the other side of your faith, you cannot skip steps.

Sa panahon ng pag-aalinlangan, madaling i-justify kahit 'yung “maliit lang naman” na pagkuha o pandaraya. Madalas, pinapakita nito kung gaano tayo nahihirapang magtiwala sa kakayanang magbigay ng Diyos.Hindi lang ugali natin ang nare-reflect ng pagnanakaw—pati rin pananampalataya natin. Ang tunay na pagsamba ay pagtitiwala sa Diyos hindi lang kapag maayos ang lahat, kundi kahit magulo, sa pagkukulang, o sa walang-katiyakang sitwasyon. Ito ay pagtitiwala ng buo sa Kanyang mga plano, pagkakaloob, at mga pangako sa bawat panahon.Speaker: Ptr.

In uncertain times, it can be tempting to justify even small acts of stealing. But these compromises often reveal how little we trust in God's provision. Stealing is not only a reflection of our character, but also of our faith. True worship means trusting God not just in seasons of abundance, but also in moments of uncertainty—believing in His plans, provision, and promises through every season.Speaker: Peter Tan-Chi Jr.Series: 10 CommandmentsScripture: Exodus 20:15, Ephesians 4:28Watch the full message here: https://go.ccf.org.ph/05242026Eng

God blesses us not just for our own good, but so we can bless others. Joseph's story shows that faithfulness, service, and forgiveness turn God's favor into life-changing impact. By faith, we receive God's blessing and pass it on.

What if the Book of Jonah isn't really about a fish at all—but about mercy? In this episode of Sunday School Remix, Pastor Nate takes us beyond the familiar children's version of Jonah and invites us to wrestle with the deeper question at the heart of the story: Have we turned God's blessings inward, or are we living as a blessing to others?This isn't a story about being afraid of running from God. It's a story about grace that extends further than we expect—and a calling that sends us toward compassion, not comfort.What You'll Learn:Why Jonah is likely a theological parable, not just historyHow the plant in Jonah 4 reframes the entire storyWhat it means to be “blessed to be a blessing”Why God's mercy toward others can unsettle usHow this story shapes our calling todayScripture:Jonah 1–4Genesis 12 (covenant and blessing)Luke 15 (The Prodigal Son)Matthew 20:15 (“Are you envious because I am generous?”)If this episode helped you see Jonah in a new way, like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who might need a fresh word about grace.Connect with Bethany:

The Scriptures teach us a counterintuitive idea—that the best way to gain is to give away and the best way to find true fulfillment is to sacrifice. The problem is we don't live like that's true because we struggle to believe it. Come be challenged to bless others and receive the blessing of God.

And when we look to his word, we will find knowledge and understanding and wisdom that that the world cannot receive, but because we have been born again, regenerated, that we are that new creation, we can take the truth of God and apply it to Our life and even greater works we will do because we have trusted in our Lord and Savior.

How do we help people without enabling them? How do we help without hurting? These are tricky questions and often we find ourselves being either cynical to people or gullible. While there is not a “formula” to this, there is a key: we need to stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit. God's heart is for the poor, and He wants us to have an ear that is turned toward the needs of people. But at the same time, we need to have an ear that is turned heavenward and listening to the Him and how He wants to meet the need.Do you desire to have God's heart for the needy in your life? Do you want to see people the way that He sees them? God is no respecter of persons - His heart is the same for all people! We need to recognize that the ground is level at the foot of the cross - the reality is that we are all poor and needy! When we see God's heart of love for us, we are then able to be a channel of that love and kindness to others.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Where is your focus? Is it on yourself, your dreams, and your goals? If we're not recognizing the needs of those around us, it's usually because we're focused on ourselves. We miss out on participating with God and how He wants to touch others when our attention is consumed with ourselves. We need to ask God to cleanse us from a fleshly self-focus so we can be available to meet the needs of those He wants to reach through us.Do you desire to have God's heart for the needy in your life?

Do you ever find yourself having an attitude of superiority toward those who you perceive to be “less than” you? In order to approach those in need around us with the right attitude we need to realize that we were (and still are) “the poor.” We need to see that God Himself “brought in the poor” - that He saw our need and had compassion on us. When we see ourselves as needy and dependent on the Lord, we will then have an attitude of compassion and empathy toward others.Do you desire to have God's heart for the needy in your life?

There is a tendency in all of us to exalt ourselves - to seek the recognition and attention of other people. As we dig into the context of this new command, we will see that Jesus cuts right to the heart and exposes this pride in all of us. God's desire is that we would humble ourselves before Him, that we would be willing to take the “low place” before people, and that we would be content to live for His smile alone.
