In this message from The Beatitudes, Angie Richey teaches from Matthew 5:5 that meekness is power under control. Meekness is not weakness, but strength submitted to God, emotional regulation, holy restraint, and trust that God can defend, heal, and lead us without our need to dominate, retaliate, or control every outcome.Click here to view the episode transcript.

A couple weeks ago I got a phone callThe number looked familiar, so I answered – “Hello”- a man's voice asked, “Is this Charles?”• at that point it was obvious he didn't know me• so I said, “Maybe”- there are too many scams running in our world for me to take chances• if you respond to a text or call, a fake offer, a warning,◦ or a simple “click” and next thing you discover is that your bank account is emptied,◦ or your credit card is hacked, or your identity is stolen• I appreciate the warnings I receive regarding the con artist who are constantly fishing for personal informationThat is how we are to read Jude's letterWhat he wrote was a “fraud alert” – as he has said,“For certain people have crept in unnoticed”

Psalm 19 // Payton OttPsalm 19 provides a beautiful bridge between general revelation in nature and special revelation in scripture. This sermon begins by examining the first six verses, where the sun and sky act as witnesses to his power without speaking a single word. We then transition into the second half of the chapter, focusing on how his word is more desirable than gold and sweeter than honey. We conclude with a personal reflection on the final prayer of the psalmist, asking that the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be pleasing to him, our rock and our redeemer.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49614365 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2546/responses/new26.05.31

 I have been reading a book by Bill Elliot, who is a therapistBut it's not about psychology – it has the unlikely title, Falling Into the Face of God– it's an autobiography of sorts• Bill felt called by God's Spirit to go to the Judean desert• and , to spend forty days there like Jesus, only without fasting– on day 17, he was meditating on Jesus' temptation in the wilderness• then his thoughts went to Jesus and disciples in Philippi, and the moment when he called Peter “Satan”William J. Elliot, “Why did Jesus do that? Especially since Peter was just trying to be helpful? It was because Peter was opposing Jesus' deeper sense of destiny and Jesus' deeper sense of God's will. Satan comes from the Hebrew word for ‘opposer' or ‘adversary.' And that's the point: we each have friends, and even parts of ourselves, that are often opposed to our deeper truth and connection with God. Even though they are trying to be helpful, they are still adversaries. So how do we find the skill and the courage to rebuff those well-meaning adversaries—especially when they love us and have often loved us in the past.”

Job 1-2, 38:1-7, 42:1-17 // Rachel NesseWhy do the righteous suffer? This sermon examines the life of Job, a man who lost everything yet refused to abandon his integrity. We walk through the moments where he confronted his grief and the specific instances where God spoke from the whirlwind, shifting the focus from Job's pain to the vastness of the universe. Rather than providing simple answers to complex pain, these passages invite us to trust in a wisdom that far exceeds our own. The sermon concludes with a look at his restoration, highlighting how his perspective changed after he saw the lord with his own eyes.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.05.24

In a world driven by data, predictions, and algorithms, we're constantly told what the future might hold—whether it's sports betting odds, AI-driven forecasts, or casino probabilities. But how reliable are these predictions, really? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the sharp contrast between human prediction and divine prophecy.While today's experts and machines rely on statistics and historical trends, their forecasts remain uncertain—crafted by fallible minds and limited perspectives. The world may be in the business of guessing, but God speaks with certainty. Scripture reminds us that God's prophetic word never fails—unlike human projections, His promises are always fulfilled because He cannot lie.We also take a historical look at the spiritual foundations of America, highlighting voices like Patrick Henry, who boldly declared that the nation was built on the Gospel of Jesus Christ—not mere religion. We revisit the moment when Benjamin Franklin called for prayer during the Constitutional Convention, reminding us of a time when leaders sought divine guidance above all else.Join us as we uncover the difference between prediction and prophecy, human insight and divine truth—and what it means to trust in a God who is always right.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

What was your favorite part of the school day growing up—recess, lunch, P.E.? For many of us, it was the fun, carefree moments we looked forward to. But have you ever stopped to think about how that same desire for entertainment shapes our lives today?In this episode, we take a heartfelt and honest look at how a culture centered on fun, sports, and entertainment has influenced not just the world—but even the church. When everything has to be exciting, engaging, and entertaining, what happens to discipline, study, and spiritual growth?We reflect on a powerful testimony of life change—trading the pursuits of pleasure for a deeper commitment to Christ. When salvation truly transforms the heart, it reshapes our desires. Suddenly, time in God's Word, Sunday School, and fellowship with believers are no longer obligations—they become life-giving.As churches strive to keep the attention of younger generations, have we unintentionally led them down a path focused more on the flesh than the Spirit? In this episode, we challenge ourselves to return to the foundations: Bible study, teaching, memorization, and a Spirit-filled life that produces lasting fruit.Join us as we rediscover what it means to live not for fleeting entertainment, but for the glory of God—being filled with the fruits of righteousness through His Spirit.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

 We're going to reenact the story- this is what Jesus meant for us to do“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes” (1 Cor. 11:26)• in this ritual, there is the potential of a profound encounter• he has given us something:◦ for our eyes to see◦ for our ears to hear◦ for our hands to touch◦ for our mouths to taste◦ for our minds to contemplate◦ for our souls to receive- I am going to present this to you as a devotional thought• what I mean, is something other than a Bible study tracking the literal meaning of each word• instead, this is what I perceive happening in these few verses 

Former Fox 35 Morning Anchor Ryan Elijah recently resigned his high-profile position in Central Florida's media market in order to become a candidate for the US House. Ryan explains the process that led to his decision, and shares what he sees to be the hurdles he will encounter in the Congress should he win. Also, from the recent "SWC US Christian Chamber Conference," Jim Schneider and Candace Rockel.

In this thought-provoking episode, we uncover “hidden” passages of Scripture—verses often overlooked or rarely discussed from the pulpit, yet rich with meaning and instruction. Like archaeological discoveries, these truths challenge us to dig deeper into God's Word and recover what has been neglected.We explore the apostle Paul's admonition to the people of Crete, especially his guidance through Titus to instruct women who had recently turned away from lives of idolatry. What did this teaching mean in its original context—and what does it mean today?Looking back to the Garden of Eden, we reflect on God's design for order, purpose, and responsibility: Adam was called to tend and keep the garden, and likewise, Scripture teaches that women play a vital role as keepers of the home. Far from restriction, this design offers security of heart, freedom, and spiritual stability.In a world that often overlooks or challenges biblical roles, we discuss how embracing God's design protects against spiritual vulnerability and equips believers to stand firm against the enemy. Each of us has a specific purpose, and when we understand and live out our God-given roles, we strengthen both our homes and our faith communities.Join us as we rediscover these foundational teachings and consider how they still shape our lives today.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Why do we resist the truth of God's Word? In this episode, we explore the deep-rooted struggle of the human heart to believe and submit to God's truth. From the account of Adam and Eve, we see both failure and faith—Adam naming Eve, “the mother of all living,” even after the fall, reveals a continued trust in God's promise despite sin.We reflect on the order of creation and responsibility: Adam followed Eve in disobedience, yet after the fall, Eve followed Adam in obedience. God created woman from man, yet all men are born of women—a profound reminder of our shared dependence and divine design.This episode calls us to confront a sobering reality: the unregenerate heart remains in rebellion against God. But the invitation still stands—“Come now, let us reason together.” Will we humble ourselves, meet with God in repentance and faith, and truly believe His Word?Join us as we consider what it means to be accountable to God—and how we must respond.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Have you ever been afraid—truly afraid? In this heartfelt, transparent conversation, we talk about fear across every season of life: childhood nightmares, the dread of school and bullies, and the chilling moments of working night patrol as a security guard. Fear wears many faces, and we've all met it.Drawing from 2 Timothy 1, we reflect on Paul's loving challenge to Timothy—a faith passed down through his mother and grandmother, grounded in love and strengthened by God's truth. In perilous times and troubled days, when evil often works unseen around us and across the world, God offers something greater than fear.“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”This episode is a reminder that in the Word of God, we have victory. Faith is that victory. Through Christ, we can walk in power, live in love, and think with a sound mind—free from the fear God never gave us.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

What are you carrying that God never asked you to carry?In this closing message of the Name the Chain series, Pastor Chrissy Cole teaches on the chain of control and the fear underneath it. Control can sound like responsibility, protection, or wisdom, but it often reveals where we are struggling to trust God.Through Proverbs 3 and the example of Jesus, this message invites us to surrender our fears, release what we cannot control, seek God before we lead, and trust Him with the outcome. The burden was never meant to crush you. Jesus offers rest, freedom, and a lighter way to live.

Mothers are a value beyond estimation. In this episode, we take time to reflect on the powerful role of godly motherhood as revealed in Scripture. Consider the parents of John the Baptist and the faith-filled home that helped shape a life prepared for God's purpose—a reminder worth studying and reflecting on today.The Bible describes a virtuous woman as one marked by strength, wisdom, and spiritual power. Proverbs 31 paints a beautiful picture of women standing on the front lines of faith, engaged in spiritual, emotional, and physical battles—not for themselves alone, but for their families and future generations.Drawing from II Timothy 1:5, we see how sincere faith is often passed down through motherhood. This episode honors the unseen sacrifices, the steadfast prayers, and the enduring faith of mothers who fight daily for the souls entrusted to them.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

There have been songs, that I loved the first time I heard themThere are others that I had to hear several times to appreciate- but the ones that I've loved at first sight had two qualities:• the sound of music (instruments and vocals) and the lyrics◦ psychologists refer to this response to music as “emotional resonance”◦ the sound waves and meaning of the music find a string that vibrates deep in the soul• for me, one of the songs that instantly moved me was Van Morrison's When will I ever learn to live in God?“When will I ever learn to live in God? When will I ever learn?He gives me everything I need and more When will I ever learn?”

We hold in our hands the powerful, preserved Word of God—the unchanging truth that has guided believers through every generation. This episode reflects on how the founders of this nation sought to establish a people and a government shaped by faith, trusting in the authority of God's Word as they formed We the People and the Constitution.The same Scriptures read by early Americans continue to speak with power today. Despite opposition, deception, and shifting beliefs, the triumphant King still moves through His Word, carrying the message of truth far beyond borders and generations. No force of this world can stop the advance of the Gospel or silence the authority of God's preserved Word.For the child of God, the fires and trials of this life are temporary. Our hope rests in the promise of resurrection power, where death is swallowed up in victory. As believers, we are assured—by His Word—of ultimate triumph, grounded not in this world, but in Christ Himself.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this continuing series of programs, Terry and Reneé Mize have been unpacking the powerful connection between Bible prophecy, Pentecost, the last days, and the role of the Church right now.This week's message centers around one powerful statement:“Read the Bible and check the news.”As world events continue to shift, Terry teaches that believers should not be fearful, confused, or caught off guard. God has already revealed His plans and purposes through His Word. The Bible is not outdated—it is unfolding in real time before our eyes.Throughout this episode, Terry and Reneé discuss how believers are called to discern the times, recognize prophetic patterns, and respond with faith instead of fear. The Church was never meant to panic with the world, but to walk in wisdom, boldness, and confidence in God's promises.In this episode, you'll discover: Why believers should understand the times we're living in How Bible prophecy connects to current events Why the Church should not be spiritually asleep How faith keeps believers steady in uncertain times Why Terry says to “Read the Bible and check the news” This message continues building on the truth explored throughout this series: God is still moving, His Word is still true, and believers were never meant to live confused about the days ahead.

The response to the GO250 Gospel and History booklet has been deeply encouraging. In this episode, we share stories from the road as we deliver GO250 booklets, reflect on God's goodness, and celebrate a wedding anniversary along the way. It is a journey marked by gratitude—for faith, for family, and for freedom.We also look back to May 1789, when George Washington addressed the Baptist churches, affirming that he would never have signed the Constitution had he believed it would endanger the churches. His words offer a powerful testimony of love for God and respect for liberty of conscience, revealing a leader mindful of both faith and country.As we remember the great price paid for freedom, we pause to give thanks for another day—and another year—of liberty. May God help us to cherish, protect, and pass on this precious heritage.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

On the days I spend with three of my grandchildren,I sometimes say to my thirteen year old grandson,“I'm going for a walk, do you want to go with me?”- he has never said, “Sure, Grandpa, let's go” – never• and I know why – he's convinced it won't be fun◦ he'd have to get unnecessary exercise, and◦ it'd be difficult to stay on trail with eyes glued to his cell phone• this morning I'm inviting you to take a walk with me–◦ through the book of Jude – it's a short walk,◦ and much of it is unpleasant, or confusing, or dark- what I don't want to do is make this a Bible study• my tendency is to be drawn to technicalities◦ that's a problem with this letter that was written in haste,◦ so there are several tough technical issues – also,• a lot of its information is crunched together in a short space,◦ entire stories abbreviated in three or four words◦ and there are even references to stories we've never seen in the Scriptures

Do you know what is inscribed on the Liberty Bell—and why it matters today? This episode examines the biblical foundation behind the famous words “Proclaim Liberty,” tracing them back to Leviticus and the truth God revealed to Israel. We also explore why many have called the Book of Romans the Constitution of Christianity, and how its message of freedom and righteousness speaks directly to our time.As the word revival is used more broadly—both in Israel and around the world—we ask an important question: do we truly understand the biblical meaning of revival? From revisionist history in Philadelphia to moral contradictions at the Dead Sea, this episode contrasts cultural claims of renewal with God's clear call to repentance.True revival is available to those who will repent of sin and return to God's Word. As Jesus declared, the truth will make you free—free from sin, free from self, and free from Satan.

 What changed on the Day of Pentecost—and why does it still matter today?In this continuing series of programs, Terry and Reneé Mize have been unpacking the powerful events that followed the resurrection of Jesus. Week by week, they've been building a clear biblical picture: Easter was not the end—it was the beginning of something far greater.In this episode, they focus on the moment everything shifted.The Day of Pentecost was when the Church went from waiting… to unstoppable.Before Pentecost, believers were gathered, expectant, and instructed to wait. But when the Holy Spirit came, everything changed. Power was released. Boldness replaced fear.

In these perilous and critical times, the urgent need to study and trust the King James Bible has never been more evident. This episode examines the heart and purpose of the King James translators, whose own preface reveals a deep love and reverence for the Word of God. Their intent was not to cast doubt on Scripture, but to faithfully deliver to future generations the preserved Word of God.We explore how the proliferation of modern Bible versions often removes or weakens God's Word, leaving readers uncertain and questioning truth. In contrast, the translators of the King James Bible sought to give Scripture a “free course”—freely proclaimed, freely understood, and boldly defended.Drawing from the Apostle Paul's exhortation to pray that the Word of God would have “free course” and that believers would be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men, this episode reminds us that we have been granted a unique opportunity in America to share biblical truth openly. That freedom remains—right up until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.A timely call to stand firm, cherish God's Word, and boldly let the truth run freely.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Mr. President and Mr. King may dine together—but in Christ, we are called to something far greater.This episode proclaims the powerful truth of our identity in Jesus Christ. Scripture declares that Jesus is God's anointed Prophet, Lord of lords and King of kings, and through Him, believers are made kings and priests unto God. As Christians, we are not meant to live beneath our spiritual birthright.Called out of darkness and into His marvelous light, we are a holy nation and a peculiar people.

Where are they taught—and what are they being taught?This episode takes a hard look at radicalization, ideological conditioning, and the patterns that produce hatred, violence, and moral collapse. We examine how individuals can be shaped to despise their own nation, justify evil, and celebrate horrific acts—sometimes to the point where crowds take pleasure in destruction instead of mourning loss.We also explore troubling cultural signals: the glorification of intellectual brilliance without moral grounding, public projects that reshape historical memory, and the dangers of mass movements that excuse or applaud wicked behavior. Scripture warns us to beware of crowds that delight in evil rather than truth, justice, and accountability.In a time when waste, fraud, abuse, and moral confusion abound, this episode calls listeners to discernment—to question narratives, confront indoctrination, and resist the pull of collective corruption.Truth matters.

What was the primary responsibility Jesus gave to Peter?- if you're not sure, then listen to what I'm about to read,• because Jesus makes Peter's assignment absolutely clearWhen they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep” John 21:15–17◦ Peter's calling was to devote himself to the care of Jesus' sheep• these are not Peter's sheep – Jesus refers to them as, “my sheep”◦ the Lord did not tell Peter to use the sheep to make a fortune for himself◦ in fact, from now on, his life wasn't his own, and it would not be easy or what he would choose for himself“Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself ad walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go. . . .” “Follow me.” (v. 19)- giving Peter this responsibility, Jesus answers his own prayer in Matthew:

What happened after the resurrection—and why does it matter more than most believers realize?In this episode of More Than Conquerors, Terry and Reneé Mize walk through the powerful connection between the resurrection of Jesus and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. While many celebrate Easter as the defining moment of the Christian faith, Scripture reveals it was only the beginning of something far greater.From the empty tomb to the upper room, God was not reducing His power—He was releasing it. The resurrection was followed by instruction, preparation, and ultimately the empowering of believers through the Holy Spirit.

I am going to take a risk this morningAside from whatever ways I'm supposed to help others,- my own life in God has been driven by one passion• that is, to experience everything Jesus promised his disciples• my primary rationale is to take Jesus at his word◦ to be more specific:- what is on the table for me is not that I work miracles• at least, not extraordinary miracles, I'm okay with ordinary miracles◦ like bringing a smile to a baby's face• I know I'm not called to “signs and wonders”◦ what I've longed for is personal, and has been my longing from childhoodIn the scripture I read, Jesus is telling his disciples goodbye

Can We Really Do Greater Works than Jesus?Apostolic Life in the 21st Century with Dr. David K. BernardIn John 14:12, Jesus made a remarkable promise: “He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do.” But what did He mean?Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, and demonstrated power over nature itself. How could believers possibly do “greater” works than these?In this episode, Dr. David K. Bernard provides clear, biblical insight into this passage. Rather than pointing to greater individual miracles, he explains how Jesus' words reveal the expanded scope of His work through the church—empowered by the Holy Spirit and fulfilled through the global spread of the gospel after Pentecost.Discover how this promise applies to believers today and what it reveals about the ongoing mission of the church.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.
