Ask, Seek, Knock. | Knowing The Father | Abundant Life Church | Pastor Sean Thomas

Seek God, Stay Close, Tear Down the Idols Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 2 Chronicles 15:1-8 Episode Summary In this Father's Day 2026 message, Pastor Michael uses an original skit about King Asa, the Prophet Azariah, and the legendary Shelemiah the Shawarma Guy to bring a timeless message from 2 Chronicles to life. God didn't send a prophet to Asa when things were falling apart - He sent one right after a great victory. Because staying close to God when things are going well may be the hardest thing we're called to do. Key Points - God seeks us out not just when we're in trouble, but after victory - when we're most likely to drift - Seeking God means coming to Him as we are, without straightening up first - He helps us work through the mess - Staying close means not waiting for trouble to remind us we need God - Idols are anything we can't be okay without - the things we run to for identity, comfort, or worth instead of God Main Takeaway Seek God, Stay Close, Tear Down the Idols. God promises He can be found by those who seek Him. But victory, comfort, and success can quietly pull us back into old patterns and habits. It takes courage to recognize what has too much of our heart - and the guts to tear it down. Memorable Quotes - "The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you." - "He made Himself findable." - "Nobody drifts away all at once." - "An idol is the thing we can't be okay without." - "When your soul feels like a shaken-up soda bottle - what do you reach for? If it's not your God, it might be your idol." - "Nothing that pulls you away from The Heavenly Father is making you a promise you can trust." Reflection Question Are there idols - money, success, control, comfort, approval - that have quietly taken too much of your heart? What would it look like to have the courage to tear them down? Tune in to hear the hilarious skit featuring King Asa, Azariah the Prophet, and Shelemiah's Shawarma Shack, and discover why God sends His message right after our victories, not just our failures.

A divided world desperately needs a united Church. In this message, we explore what it means for the body of Christ to truly fit together — not by accident, but by design. Jesus prayed for our unity, and that prayer still matters today. When each part does its own special work and submits to Christ as the head, the whole body becomes healthy, growing, and full of love. Unity isn't optional — it's the witness we give to the world.

How to Have a Praying Spirit | The Believer's Authority | Abundant Life Church | Pastor Sean Thomas

Get Off The Fence Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 John 5:9-13 Episode Summary Opening with a hilarious skit about Earl literally sitting on a fence while trying to decide which side to be on (with the threat of Granny Browder looming), Pastor Michael addresses the spiritual fence-sitting that keeps people from committing to Jesus. Through 1 John, he challenges why anyone would hesitate when God has clearly spoken about His Son. Key Points – We trust human witnesses all the time (doctors, weather reports, history books), so God's witness is surely greater and more trustworthy – Claiming to keep an open mind while refusing to believe what's right in front of you isn't careful consideration - it's willful rejection – Believing in Jesus means the testimony moves inside you and changes you - you can't truly know Jesus without being transformed – Refusing to believe what God plainly tells us about Jesus is the same as calling God a liar – Eternal life isn't earned through effort or religious performance but given to those who have the Son - it's relational, not transactional – Assurance of salvation isn't based on feeling confident or victorious but on believing you belong to Jesus through the witness of God – Challenging times don't create faith weakness - they reveal it and strengthen it, like climbing stairs reveals cardiovascular weakness and builds strength Main Takeaway Why sit on the fence when God has spoken? Once you know the truth, you have to get down and make a choice. Continuing to sit on the fence becomes dishonest unbelief, not neutrality. God has testified that "he who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son does not have life." Eternal life begins now and reaches fullness in Heaven - it's purpose, peace, strength, renewal, and hope that even death can't take away. At some point, when God has spoken and your next breath isn't promised, you can't keep sitting on the fence. Memorable Quotes – "Why sit on the fence when God Has Spoken?" – "When God has spoken, and we have heard, how can we keep sitting on the fence?" – "Calling God a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given." – "Eternal life is given to those who have The Son." – "Everyone exists, but not everyone has life." – "Sitting on the fence doesn't keep the peace, it just gives both sides something to complain about." – "Sometimes not deciding is a decision. Life will decide for you." Reflection Question Are you sitting on the fence about Jesus, thinking you have plenty of time to decide? What's really keeping you from getting down and committing - fear, pride, unwillingness to change, or something else? Tune in to hear the delightful skit about Earl sitting on a fence with his "hindquarters sawed in half," Jed's warnings about Granny Browder, and Earl's concern about being judged by cows, plus the powerful truth that assurance of salvation isn't about never struggling but about knowing you belong.

What if some of the most impactful people in church history were people the world would have overlooked? In the final week of Women of the Bible, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia explores the remarkable women who helped shape and strengthen the early church.

How to Have Breakthrough in Prayer | Persistent Faith | Abundant Life Church | Pastor Sean Thomas

The One Who Holds it All Together Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Colossians 1:15-17 (NLT) Episode Summary On a 5th Sunday family service, Pastor Michael invites kids up to conduct magnetic experiments while challenging the false idea that you can't love science AND love Jesus. Through Colossians 1:15-17, he reveals that Jesus is the Cosmic Painter and Eternal Engineer behind everything science studies, and that the same Jesus who holds atoms together can hold our lives together. Key Points – Invisible doesn't mean imaginary - just like we can't see magnetic force but can see what it does, we can't see God but can see what He does – Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God - He shows us what God is like in His heart and character by showing love to the forgotten, outcasts, and broken – Jesus created everything visible and invisible - all stars, atoms, molecules, light, matter, energy, space, time, and spiritual powers in the heavenly realms – "Firstborn" doesn't mean born first but first in rank, honor, authority, and supremacy - Jesus has real authority over galaxies and gravity, atoms and angels – Jesus holds all creation together - protons in atoms should repel each other and collapse, but they don't because Jesus sustains the laws that hold creation stable – The Same Jesus who holds the universe together can hold families together, hold our hearts together, and hold us when we're scared, grieving, or falling apart Main Takeaway Jesus made it all, Jesus owns it all, Jesus holds it all together. Science and faith aren't enemies - explaining how something works proves the brilliance of the designer, not that the designer doesn't exist. The more we learn about how the world works, the more we should praise God for making such an amazing world. When life feels like it's falling apart, remember that the Creator of Life is strong enough to hold you together. Memorable Quotes – "Jesus made it all, Jesus owns it all, Jesus holds it all together." – "Invisible doesn't mean imaginary." – "Science shows us how. Faith shows us Who." – "Science doesn't make God smaller. It shows us more and more how BIG He Is!" – "Jesus loves us and laid down His Life for us. And then He Rose Again, because The Creator of Life can't be conquered by death." – "The Same Jesus Who Holds the universe together can help us hold it together." – "If you're turning your heart toward Jesus, He attracts you. If you're turning away, you resist His Love." Reflection Question What parts of your life feel like they're falling apart? Are you willing to trust the One who holds atoms together with holding your heart, your family, and your future together? Tune in to hear the interactive magnetic experiments with kids, why spilled milk never spells out the meaning of life (proving accidents make messes, not masterpieces), the explanation of why atoms don't blow apart, and why Pastor Michael is excited about Vacation Bible School's "Glad Scientist" theme.

Throughout the New Testament, we see a church that is empowered by the Holy Spirit and strengthened through the ministry of spiritual gifts. These gifts were never intended to be confusing, divisive, or pushed to the margins of church life. They were given by God to build up His people, reveal Jesus, and help the church fulfill its mission in the world. This weekend, we'll explore what it means to be a spiritually-gifted church, the vision God has for His people, and why this matters for Northwest Church.
