Church can be a complicated word. For some it carries warmth. For others, it carries weight. But whatever your experience with it, Jesus had a clear vision for what church was supposed to be—and he never said it was just for church people. This week, discover what it looks like to be a "by all possible means" community willing to set aside comfort and preference to reach the people nobody else is reaching. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

This is meant as an honest question. Any point it happens to make is merely a coincidence.

(This podcast was previously published on March 6, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   For those people in church groups who love the form of godliness but do not love the actual Word of God, God prepares HIS instruments of destruction.   God can use evil angels to lead those people in ways of destruction:   Psalm 78:49  HE cast upon them the fierceness of HIS anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.   These evil angels carry messages which seem to be from God but are not from God.   Paul spoke of this in the following:   Galatians 1:8-9  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.   A divorced woman came to a non-denominational church group and pretended to be a regular single woman.  She was looking for an husband.  And she ignored scriptures concerning divorce and remarriage.   I Corinthians 7:39  The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.   Romans 7:1-3   Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.  So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.   I believe God shows me this woman (who is no longer living) brought destruction upon herself and the man who married her who committed adultery by marrying this divorced woman.   Matthew 5:32   Jesus said:  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.   We have an example in Bible of God using "a lying spirit" to destroy king Ahab.   I Kings 22   20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.   21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.   22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?   And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.   And HE (God) said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.   This lying spirit told king Ahab to go up and fight against the enemy and when he did this Ahab was killed in the battle.   God brings "a strong delusion" upon people who will not love the truth.   II Thessalonians 2:10-12   And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.   You cannot reason with a deluded person.  No matter how much evidence you present, that deluded person will cling to his delusion.   ***   Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.   ***   James 1   12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love HIM.   13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth HE any man:   14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.   15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Message from Greg Neal on November 2, 2025

“You cannot build your church on religious people.” In this powerful opening night sermon of the Waltham Forest Conference, Pastor Nigel Brown issues a timely and prophetic warning: If we prioritize church growth over new birth, we may lose the very culture that fuels our calling.Using Acts 5 as his foundation, Pastor Brown contrasts the “rest who dared not join” with those born again into a supernatural, Holy Ghost culture. He exposes the dangers of importing religious Christians rather than reaching sinners, and passionately defends the core values of evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and world evangelism.With stirring illustrations, historical insight into the Salvation Army, and testimonies of transformation, this message will challenge every pastor, disciple, and believer to preserve the culture that God has entrusted to our fellowship.

Pastor Chris Durso joins us to talk about the shifting landscape of modern Christianity — why flashy churches are losing their influence, how Gen Z is reshaping faith communities, and what authenticity really looks like in a post-celebrity-pastor era.Plus, the crew breaks down the biggest stories at the intersection of faith and culture, including Chandler Moore's lawsuit against Maverick City Music's CEO, Project Pat's stunning salvation moment at a Memphis concert, the Taco Bell Ultra Marathon and the viral “Jericho dating strategy” at ORU. (FYI, it's glorious.)Chapters:05:00 – RELEVANT BUZZ Returns: The Maverick City Music lawsuit explained12:20 – Project Pat leads a prayer of repentance in Memphis15:15 – SLICES: The Taco Bell Ultra Marathon (why would anyone do this?)22:30 – ORU freshmen attempt a “Jericho dating” stunt27:00 – GUEST: Pastor Chris Durso joins the show28:00 – Launching Good Company Church in NYC32:00 – Why the showmanship era of church is over35:30 – How COVID changed what people want from faith38:40 – The danger of “celebrity Christianity”41:00 – Building an honest, mature church culture44:00 – Navigating politics and social issues from the pulpit46:00 – Faith and the NBA: behind the scenes with team chaplains⸻

Recently, host Jim Weaver preached a message entitled "Make Room", discussing the need for Christians to make room in their hearts, time, mind, and even the room itself to receive the harvest God wants to bring to salvation! It's everybody's responsibility to reach people for Christ, and it is dependent on a heart that is soft and full of God's grace to make space for people who are coming that are broken, confused, and need Jesus! In light of recent United States events, where churches are seeing unprecedented attendance, it's important for the Church People to be ready to receive those who are looking for Jesus! Let's explore how that can look...Support the show

Episode 112 - Testimony Series - Collaboration and Divine Guidance This episode is a part of our December Testimony series. A series of short testimonies of times that God showed up upon set or in ways related to the film-industry.In this episode, Christopher Sean Shaw discusses the challenges and divine guidance encountered during the making of his short film 'Skip Listening' for the 168 Film Project. Despite losing key locations including their initial filming location (after they showed up to film on the first day of the shoot), God provided even better options. CSS believes these experiences were guided by divine intervention resulting in a successful film, and lasting professional relationships including continued collaboration with Thor Ramsey, eventually leading to their feature film 'Church People.'

Constructing gingerbread houses can be stressful and sometimes never work the way we imagined, especially with kids involved. Fr. Ben has constructed some amazing gingerbread houses for his parishes that have weighed over 200 pounds. Khira on the other hand has not attempted to construct one with her family. Building a vibrant parish life can be stressful and tricky as well. Many people have many opinions and can be quite negative. How do we deal with negative people in the Church? How do we charitably deal with strong opinions coming from frequent churchgoers? Take a listen to receive great advice. Got a question you'd like to ask Fr. Ben? Go to Ask Fr. Ben | St. Michael Church (stmichaelmemphis.org) to submit questions and topic ideas for the podcast. The questions can be on faith or food! You can also follow us on Facebook and YouTube.

We are imperfect people pursuing a perfect God. But sometimes, we project those imperfections of imperfect people onto a perfect God. In week 4 of Bad Theology, Ryan debunks the myth that church people are perfect and talks about how those are moments to be more like Jesus.

Welcome to our latest sermon where we dive deep into Colossians 1:9-14 and uncover 5 amazing facts about church people. Join us as we explore what it means to be part of the body of Christ and how these truths impact our daily lives. Whether you are new to the faith or a longtime believer, this message will inspire and encourage you.

Man may hurt us – but God will never forsake us. And even through man's imperfect ways, God's still working out a perfect plan.  - Kelly Balarie SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotionalYour Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
