This sermon is part of a series on Colossians, focusing on verses 1:24-2:3. The central message emphasizes that 'Christ is enough' - a theme that runs throughout the entire book. Pastor Devin discusses Paul's perspective on suffering for the church, the mystery of Christ being revealed to the Gentiles, and the importance of warning and teaching in spiritual growth. The sermon highlights how the church historically grows through persecution and affliction, and emphasizes that true fulfillment can only be found in Jesus Christ.How does the concept of 'Christ is enough' challenge our modern tendency to seek fulfillment in other things?What role does suffering play in our spiritual growth according to this passage?How has persecution historically affected the growth of the church? Why do you think this is?What does it mean to have 'Christ in you, the hope of glory'?How can we balance both warning and teaching in our relationships with fellow believers?Why is it important to align our opinions with God's Word rather than trying to make God's Word align with our opinions?What does it mean to be weak so that Christ's power can be perfected in us?How can we practically demonstrate that Christ is enough in our daily lives?Support the show

Send us a textEver notice how sacred moments often slip into your day when you least expect them—while folding laundry, stuck at a red light, or trying to fix something that feels out of control? In this conversation, we talk about what it means to say a “sacred yes”—to recognize God's presence in the now and choose trust over hesitation. These invitations rarely show up when life is neat and quiet. More often, they arrive right in the middle of the noise, asking us to pause, notice, and respond. Through Scripture, honest stories, and practical reflection, we open up about how powerful it can be to say yes, even when we feel unprepared. We talk about the things that often get in the way of our “yes”—exhaustion, fear, distraction, and the craving for certainty. But when we think of Isaiah's bold “Here I am” or Mary's quiet surrender, we're reminded that a sacred yes isn't about having all the answers. It's about being willing to notice God's presence and respond with an open heart, right where we are.Ready to discover the sacredness of the present moment? Join us for a conversation that will help you recognize and respond to God's invitations in your everyday life – no perfect circumstances required.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Pastor Travis Hearn brings a powerful and cinematic message to Impact Church titled “Living a Life of Sacrifice.” With raw honesty and heartfelt storytelling, he invites us into the legacy of his mother—Toni—a woman who gives up her own dreams, works four jobs, and sacrifices everything just to be present for her son. But this isn't just her story—it becomes a mirror for all of us. In this message, Pastor Travis calls you to something deeper: not just believing in Jesus, but fully belonging to Him. As he unpacks Romans 12:1, you'll be challenged to offer your life—not in part, but in full—as a living sacrifice. Worship, he says, isn't just what happens on a Sunday stage, it's what happens when your life hits the altar on Monday morning. If you've ever felt unseen, broken, or out of place, this message reminds you—you're not overlooked, you're set apart. Through the promise of Psalm 91 and the boldness of Daniel, you'll be inspired to stop conforming and start transforming. Because when you see God's mercy clearly, giving Him everything won't feel like loss—it'll feel like the only thing that makes sense.

Transitions can look like blessings on the outside — but still feel heavy on the inside. In this episode of The Faith & Aloha Show, I'm sharing how God is teaching me to find joy, not in the ease of the season, but in the endurance He's building through it.We're digging into James 1:2-4 and what it really means to count it all joy — even when you're stretched, tired, and still figuring it out.

Jesus Changes Everything | Restored & Sent After the resurrection, Jesus didn't wait for the disciples to figure things out — He met them in the middle of their fear, behind locked doors, and changed everything. In John 20:19–23, we see the risen Jesus offer four things we all desperately need: His presence, His peace, His power, and His purpose. Because of His victory over the grave, we don't have to rely on our own strength to navigate life's fears and uncertainties. Jesus steps into our lives, breathes new life into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, and calls us to live boldly for Him. Key Insights: • Jesus meets us in our fear — not after we've fixed it • The peace Jesus gives is deeper than circumstances • Jesus offers what no one else can: peace, power, and purpose • Every believer is called and empowered to be sent • The resurrection isn't the end of the story — it's the beginning of new life Key Scripture: John 20 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.20.NIV) This message invites us to open every closed-off place in our lives and trust Jesus to fill them with His freedom. His peace quiets our fears. His Spirit empowers us to live fully. His purpose gives meaning to every step we take. Wherever you are, Jesus is ready to meet you — and change everything.

Are you carrying burdens you were never meant to carry? In this powerful Resurrection Sunday message, Pastor Donnie McClurkin invites us to encounter the love, rest, and redemption found in Jesus Christ. Centered around Matthew 11:28—"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest"—Pastor McClurkin reminds us that Jesus is meek, lowly in heart, and willing to exchange our heaviness for His peace. This sermon highlights the deep love of Christ, His hatred for what sin does to us, and His desire to see us healed, restored, and walking in freedom. His sacrifice wasn't just to forgive sin, but to end the cycle of shame, guilt, and condemnation. Jesus is not pushing us away—He's calling us closer, ready to heal what's broken and offer new life in Him.
