Although the Apostle Paul occupied himself with many labors, he could summarize his life by saying, "one thing I do" (Phil. 3:13). Today, Sinclair Ferguson explores Paul's single resolution and the direction it gives to the Christian life.

In this episode of the Christian Life and Leadership Podcast, Tim Price discusses the significance of the phrase 'always remember' as it relates to everyday faith. He emphasizes the importance of remembering Jesus Christ, particularly His resurrection, as a central tenet of Christian belief. -- Remembering Jesus is central to our faith.-- Active input is required to remember effectively.-- Grace is free and undeserved, given by God.-- Jesus' resurrection is a foundational piece of our faith.-- Daily life should reflect our remembrance of Christ.-- We can trust that God is at work in our lives.-- Remembering requires intentionality and reminders.-- Our ambition should be tempered by our faith.-- Engagement in ministry is a part of remembering Jesus.#Christian Life, #Leadership, #Remembering Jesus, #Faith, #Resurrection, #Podcast, #Spiritual Growth, #Ministry, #Devotion, #Churchharvestministryteams.comtimpriceblog.com

In this week's episode, Costi Hinn challenges the idea that busyness equals faithfulness. As the year begins, he walks through biblical priorities that anchor believers in Christ and guard against slow, unnoticed spiritual drift.

What if the future of the church isn't about bigger stages but deeper closeness to Jesus? We dive into a fierce, hope-filled vision: stadiums filled across nations in a single day and a global harvest counted in billions. But the path there isn't paved with polished speeches or perfect programs—it's built on proximity over performance, love over obligation, and relationships over transactions.We open scripture to 1 Corinthians 2 and ask hard questions about modern church habits. Are we negotiating with God or listening for His voice? Are we creating customers or forming disciples? You'll hear why transactions gather crowds but relationships build the church, how love naturally births obedience, and why a daily walk with Jesus is the true source of power, authority, and clarity. From Mexico to Japan, from Australia to Venezuela, the invitation is the same: stop spectating and step into a life where miracles become normal, revival becomes relentless, and harvest becomes inevitable.Unity sits at the center of this move. A pure relationship with Jesus must overflow into a pure relationship with His people, turning isolated zeal into a shared fire that lights cities and fills stadiums. We talk practical steps—walking in the Spirit all day, seeking first the Kingdom, letting intimacy fuel action—and we carry a prophetic charge to stop negotiating and start knowing what God is saying. If your heart longs for more than moments, if you want movement and momentum that never stop, this conversation will stir you to pray, love, and act with holy courage.If this resonates, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

The Obedience Code-Cracking the Christian Life // Never Lose Hope, Never Give Up (pt.2) | Jared Douglas

Hebrews 12:1-2 // Because Christ is better and has secured our joy, we endure by laying aside sin and fixing our eyes on Jesus as we run the race set before us.Anchor of the Soul // Michael Crosswhite

Are you struggling to live the Christian life? Rick emphasizes that it's not about willpower but relying on the Holy Spirit's power to manifest God's love and righteousness in your life.

A river can look full and still refuse to move. That's the honest picture we draw as we pray over the global church and unpack a vivid dream on a bridge in Berlin: the waters of revival rush where honor flows, and they stall where apostles and prophets are sidelined. We carry a bold conviction—God is ready to add billions—yet many congregations stay busy without breakthrough because we mislabel gifts, resist biblical roles, and treat apostolic offices with suspicion instead of faith.We walk through scripture with clarity and courage. Paul identified as an apostle without flinching, not to boast, but to name his assignment. Ephesians outlines the fivefold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—not as a hierarchy, but as a complete ecosystem for the perfecting of the saints and the work of ministry. Evangelists gather, pastors guard, teachers ground, prophets guide, and apostles govern and pioneer. When we honor all five functions, grace flows in proportion to our reception. When we refuse or relabel, we limit the measure we can receive.This conversation names the obstacles—indifference, jealousy, competition—and offers a path forward: repent, realign language with function, make structural room for apostolic and prophetic voices, and cultivate a culture where accountability and honor coexist. We pray together for leaders, networks, and churches by name, not to condemn, but to position the body for maturity, unity, and measurable fruit. The goal is simple and urgent: restore the flow so communities transform, regions awaken, and the end-time harvest becomes more than a slogan.If this resonates, share it with your team, invite honest dialogue, and take one actionable step to recognize and activate the gifts in your house. Subscribe for future sessions, leave a review to help others find the message, and tell us: where do you see honor unlocking movement right now?We love to hear from our listeners!

Sermon: "Obedience: The Foundation of the Christian Life"Scripture: Matthew 7:24-27Speaker: Interim Guest Speaker Jose Flores

This week, we continue our series on spiritual disciplines. The content for this series is based on Donald Whitney's book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life.Today, we will introduce spiritual disciplines and address the disciplines of Evangelism and Serving.

As the year comes to a close, it's easy to rush ahead without reflection. In this episode, Costi Hinn shares five biblical habits that help anchor your heart in worship, repentance, and gratitude.

What if breakthrough wasn't the finish line, but the starting gun? We open our hearts to a bold invitation: step out of victim thinking, receive deep healing, and advance with clear, apostolic authority. This conversation moves from prayerful fervor to practical traction, weaving testimony, scripture, and prophetic insight into a single call to action—stop circling the same mountain and walk through the great and effectual door God has already opened.We talk candidly about identity and mission. Authority is not noise; it's the quiet confidence that where our feet land, purpose follows. We honor leaders and the shared vision for end-time harvest, then name the obstacles that keep many stuck: old wounds, small-minded cycles, and the habit of chasing goosebumps without gaining ground. Through stories of regional growth and a word for nations, we show how obedience turns moments into movement. God doesn't just heal the body; He restores years. From that wholeness flows courage, clarity, and measurable progress.Scripture anchors the journey. Jesus' warnings to unrepentant cities remind us that miracles demand response. The promise of deliverance isn't abstract—it removes weights that slow us and sets us up for acceleration. We leave listeners with a charge to stand tall, square their shoulders, and get back to work in the Kingdom: pray decisively, plan wisely, and move through open doors with humility and boldness. If you're ready to trade spiritual highs for holy momentum, this is your roadmap to advance, multiply, and expand your footprint.Enjoyed the episode?

The Obedience Code - Cracking The Christian Life // The Question That Changes Everything (pt.1) | Jared Douglas

Speaker: Dane BurgessScripture: Hebrews 13:20-25Episode Overview:As the book of Hebrews comes to a close, the author does not leave believers with a checklist, but with a benediction—a prayer rooted in what God has already done and is still doing through Jesus Christ. Hebrews 13:20–25 reveals the “bookends” of the Christian life: unchanging realities that hold faith steady and guard against slow spiritual drift. Grounded in the resurrection of Jesus, this passage reminds us that the Christian life is not sustained by human effort, but by God's faithful work from beginning to end.This sermon explores how God initiates salvation, how Christ continually shepherds His people, how the Spirit actively equips believers for obedience, and how grace surrounds the entire life of faith. Together, these truths anchor believers in hope, assurance, and perseverance as they walk with Christ.Key Highlights:• The resurrection of Jesus Christ as the unshakable foundation of the Christian life• God as the initiator of salvation, acting first to bring life from death• Jesus Christ as the great Shepherd who sustains His people through the blood of the eternal covenant• The ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, equipping believers to do God's will• Grace as God's final word—present, personal, and sufficient for every seasonCall to Action:Reflect honestly on where you may be drifting toward self-reliance, self-sustaining faith, or self-driven change. Return to the benediction of Hebrews 13 and receive it as a present reality: God is at work in you right now. Rest in what He has begun, trust Christ to shepherd you, submit to the Spirit's transforming work, and walk forward anchored in grace rather than effort.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Living In Eternity NOW | 2 Corinthians 4:16–18What if the way we enter a new year isn't about trying harder—but about seeing differently?In this message, Living In Eternity NOW, we explore 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 and the Apostle Paul's call to live with an eternal perspective in a temporary world. As we reflect on identity, suffering, renewal, and what truly lasts, we're reminded that lasting change doesn't begin with self-improvement—it begins with who God says we are.This sermon challenges us to:Stop losing heart when life feels heavySee suffering through the lens of eternityFix our eyes on what is unseen, not just what's temporaryAnchor our identity in Christ before chasing improvementLive today in light of foreverWhether you're entering a new year, walking through hardship, or feeling stuck in cycles that don't last, this message invites you to lift your eyes and live from eternal truth—not temporary pressure.

The Christmas story is bigger than the names we usually remember. In this episode, Costi Hinn explores the overlooked characters of Christmas and what their lives reveal about the heart of God.

Urgency with joy sets the tone as we open in prayer and move straight into a bold vision: adding a million souls each year through practical, Spirit-led action. We don't settle for slogans or vague inspiration. We map a clear path—get up, get out, get anointed—and show how that simple rhythm turns worship into witness, planning into presence, and expectation into fruit in cities and nations.We unfold a vivid framework drawn from the biblical feasts: Passover as the way out through the blood of Jesus, Pentecost as the way in through the power of the Holy Spirit, and Tabernacles as the way through by walking daily with Jesus. That timeline reframes salvation as a lived journey, not a one-time event, and it grounds discipleship in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Along the way, we explore how different mindsets can stall or speed mission, and we highlight stories that bring theology to life—including the delivered demoniac sent back to his city as a catalyst for local transformation.“Get up, get out, get anointed” becomes our working strategy. Get up centers your day in prayer and Scripture. Get out brings you face to face with people where they live and work. Get anointed anchors every step in the presence of God, because power flows where obedience walks. We then flip Luke 10:2 from a deficit mindset into a daring challenge: let's make the laborers many by training, sending, and celebrating everyday believers who say yes. With courage echoing Joshua's call, we invite you to choose one place to go, one person to serve, and one habit to build this week. The King has made a way out, a way in, and a way through—now let's meet the harvest in motion.If this conversation stirred you, subscribe and leave a review, share it with a friend or your church team, and tap the link to explore books, resources, and music that will help you equip many laborers.

MESSIAH HAS COME — Week 3: Joy • “The Joy Of The True Messiah”What does true joy really look like?In Week 3 of our Advent series “MESSIAH HAS COME,” we turn our focus to Joy—not a temporary happiness based on circumstances, but a deep, lasting joy rooted in who Jesus truly is.Anchored in Luke 2:10, we revisit the angel's proclamation of good news that brings great joy for all people. This sermon invites us to rediscover the joy that comes from recognizing Jesus as the true Messiah—the Savior who brings restoration, hope, and new life.Together, we explore:How all of creation rejoices at the coming King (Psalm 96:11–13)Why rightly knowing who Jesus is matters (Matthew 16:13–16)How joy can be restored, even after failure or loss (Psalm 51:12–13)As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, this message challenges us to move beyond surface-level celebration and step into the lasting joy only Christ can give.

Might a popular understanding of Paul's words in Romans 7:14-25 contribute to a learned helplessness with respect to sin in the lives of many Christians? New Testament scholar Dr. Joseph Dodson believes the answer is yes and explains why in his book Conquerors Not Captives: Reframing Romans 7 for the Christian Life. In this episode, he joins Dr. Keith Plummer to discuss his take on this much-contested passage.

This week, we begin a 6-week series on spiritual disciplines. The content for this series is based on Donald Whitney's book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life.Today, we will introduce spiritual disciplines and address the discipline of Bible intake.

When the Christmas season begins to feel overwhelming, it is easy to get swept up in the pace and forget the purpose. In this episode, Costi Hinn reminds us that the heart of Christmas is found in the story of Christ, not simply in the traditions or activities that fill our calendars.

A whiteboard hijacks our Zoom, but it can't derail the mission. We gather, pray, and then dive straight into a hard question: how do we keep preaching when culture tells us to quiet down? With reports of baptisms, healings, and students receiving the Holy Ghost, we zoom out to a bigger story—truth under assault and a church called to invest, not retreat.Pastor Hammond takes us into Jeremiah 32 where God tells a prophet to buy a field while Babylon lays siege. It sounds crazy until you realize the point: investment in people during chaos is the seed of future harvest. We connect that sign to “treasure in earthen vessels,” unpack how pressure exposes power that is of God and not of us, and call out the modern trap of half-truths. Spirit without doctrine leaves converts unanchored. Doctrine without Spirit leaves hearts untouched. We walk through the apostolic pattern—repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost—and why this new birth isn't a cultural option but the foundation for real transformation.Along the way, we tackle digital distraction, the anxiety of public ministry, and the subtle push to sell conviction for approval. The refrain returns like steel in the spine: buy the truth and sell it not. If you're discipling teens in a screen-saturated world, planting a church under pressure, or simply trying to stand steady at work, you'll find practical courage here—keep teaching, keep preaching, keep investing in people. Vineyards return. Houses are possessed again. The harvest belongs to those who sow in faith.If this word strengthens you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs boldness, and leave a review so others can find it. Then tell us: what truth are you choosing to never sell?We love to hear from our listeners!
