With fresh vision for 2026, we are declaring Rivers of Revival over this year. This is going to be a year filled with life-giving currents, the abundance of God's presence, prayer, worship, baptisms, healing & transformation. It will start with us & then out of the overflow, affect our city & our nation. Join us as Pastor Michael explains & declares Rivers of Revival over our year.

John 12:36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them. With these powerful words Jesus ended this encounter with the crowd. All of a sudden, the Light disappeared. Lest we miss it, let's remember that the crowd thinks of themselves as sons of the Law and that the Law is the light. They asked about the Law in vs 34. Jesus was calling them to Himself, the true light. John made this point in the intro to his gospel when he wrote in John 1:9-13. “There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” Have you received the Light? Living to love with Jesus is to believe, receive, and walk in the true Light.

Listen today as Pastor Scallions shares the importance of "A Word of Encouragement."

John 12:35 So Jesus said to them, "For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes." Jesus was to be among them for only a little while longer. He wants them to see where they are going and knows that once the light is gone from them, the darkness will overtake them and they won't be able to see where they are walking. The reason I say so often, live to love with Jesus is this: to live is to walk. To live to love with Jesus is to walk in the Light of His life. When you live or walk in the light of His love, you know where you are. You are in God's will, and you know where you are going. You are going to live with Him forever. You either live to love with Jesus or you stumble in the darkness. Can you see where you are going or are you stumbling around in the darkness trying to find your way in this world?

This one is a rhythm. From the overflow of Sunday worship to the weight of Monday through midweek fatigue into Friday gratitude and right back to Sunday again. These 10 records are intentional. Joy. Encouragement. Bounce. Reflection. Belief. Press play in the car. Press play while you clean. Press play when you need perspective. Press play when you need to remember who's in control. Worship isn't confined to a building. It's a cadence. Let this mix carry you from Sunday to Sunday. — DJ Groovy Gene

Seeing life through the eyes of faith involves seeking God's wisdom, recognizing His hand in everyday events, and understanding His bigger plan, even amidst struggles, to find hope, purpose, and a deeper reality. Trusting God's unseen presence, purpose, and promises, and viewing the world, challenges, and oneself through His divine lens rather than worldly limitations.Support the showhttp://www.gwafgbc.org http://www.gwafgbc.org/storehttp://www.gwafgbc.org/givehttps://vimeo.com/manage/videos

Pastor Nathan centers on the timeless mission of faithfully transmitting God's truth across generations, as exemplified in 2 Timothy 2:2, where Paul instructs Timothy to pass on the gospel to faithful men who will teach others. It emphasizes that this mission is not merely about evangelism but also about intentionally training and equipping future church leaders, grounded in the reality of spiritual warfare and the necessity of divine grace. He underscores that while the path is marked by hardship, persecution, and sacrifice—mirrored in Paul's own imprisonment—the unchained Word of God and the resurrected, reigning Lord ensure the mission's ultimate victory. Encouragement is drawn from the promise of eternal reward for endurance, yet the deeper call is for believers, especially young people, to embrace sacrificial service, recognizing that God's work will advance regardless of human effort, yet He desires to use willing hearts.

I. Introduction: The Message and Mission of Victory Church Overview of the Victory Church podcast: teaching and worship messages. Church mission: reaching the lost, restoring the broken, reviving believers. Central theme: the faithfulness of God — His dependability, reliability, and trustworthiness. II. Understanding God's Faithfulness Our faith rests not on our faithfulness, but on God's proven record. Encouragement to know, memorize, meditate on, and live by the Word of God. God's faithfulness remains constant despite life's ups and downs. III. Lesson from 2 Chronicles 16:7–10 — King Asa and the Prophet Hanani The prophet (“seer”) rebuked Asa for relying on human power instead of God. The “eyes of the Lord” search the earth for loyal hearts to strengthen. Asa's foolish anger at correction serves as a warning against pride and spiritual resistance. IV. The Role of Prophets, Pastors, and Counselors God speaks through His servants to bring clarity and correction. The danger of isolation: believers need pastors, accountability, and spiritual community. The “one another” principles of the New Testament — loving, praying for, and encouraging one another. V. The Importance of Church and Unity Jesus Himself regularly attended worship. Countering cultural messages that say believers don't need church or pastors. The power of unity — believers praying, worshiping, and standing together. VI. Relying on God, Not Natural Thinking Asa's mistake: trusting human wisdom instead of divine guidance. Distractions and deception are the enemy's primary tools. The Word of God renews the mind and guards against subtle lies. VII. The Power and Necessity of the Word The Word is a hammer that breaks strongholds and transforms hearts. Sermons and Scripture are tools for shaping believers — not short motivational talks. The preaching of the Word remains essential even when unpopular. VIII. Staying Teachable and Humbly Receiving Correction King Asa's downfall was pride and resistance to counsel. Believers should remain humble, lifelong learners open to godly wisdom. Experience becomes true learning only when processed through the Word and wisdom. IX. God's Faithfulness and Our Loyal Hearts God seeks loyal, not perfect, hearts. Loyalty involves repentance, humility, and trust. God desires to show Himself strong for His people just as He has in the past. X. Bearing Fruit at Every Stage of Life Believers can bear fruit even in old age. Mentorship: older generations have wisdom to pass on to younger ones. Fruitfulness includes spiritual influence and discipleship, not just activity. XI. Conclusion: A Call to Worship and Renewal God's character is unchanging—He remains faithful even when we are faithless. Invitation to pray, worship, and recommit to trusting God. Affirmation that God continues to work, bless, and restore His people through His faithfulness.

Today we start a new series called “Got Joy?”, with Pastor Kuulei teaching on Paul's letter to the Philippians. At a time of imprisonment and possible death, Paul was able to address the church of Philippi with JOY, LOVE, and ENCOURAGEMENT.  He knew not only where His JOY came from, but he chose the POSTURE OF JOY, in spite of his circumstances.Key Scriptures:2 Peter 1:3, 2 Corinthians 1:8, Philippians 1:1-11, Nehemiah 8:10, Psalm 16:11, Galatians 5:22-23, James 1:2-4, John 15:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Romans 15:13

In this week's message from James 3:1–12, we continue exploring The Power of Words and discover just how influential our speech really is. James reminds us that while words may seem small, they carry disproportionate power — like a bit guiding a horse or a spark setting a fire. Our words can inform, injure, or inspire, and the way we use them reveals the maturity of our hearts.Because words are so powerful, Scripture calls us not just to avoid harmful speech, but to intentionally use our words to build others up. In a world filled with negativity, criticism, and discouragement, God invites His people to speak life — words that heal, encourage, and strengthen. The Bible describes gracious words as a fountain of life, a tree of healing, and honey to the soul.This message challenges us to move beyond careless speech and become intentional encouragers — at home, in relationships, at work, and in the church. We look at the example of Barnabas, known as the “Son of Encouragement,” and see how encouragement is not a lesser gift but a deeply needed one that strengthens communities and reflects the heart of Jesus.But the power of words doesn't stop with what we say to others. Scripture also teaches us to speak truth to ourselves — reminding our hearts who God is, who we are in Christ, and how to trust Him even when life feels uncertain. When emotions try to dictate our direction, God's truth steadies our souls.In this message, we explore:✔ Why words carry disproportionate power✔ How speech can inform, injure, or inspire✔ The biblical call to use words to build others up✔ Why encouragement is one of the most needed gifts in the church✔ How to create a foundation of positivity in relationships and parenting✔ Speaking truth to yourself about God, your identity, and your circumstances✔ How God's truth reshapes both our words and our heartsIf you've ever been hurt by words — or struggled with how to use your own wisely — this message invites you to see your speech as a tool God can use to bring life. When we surrender our words to Him, they become instruments of grace, encouragement, and hope.

John 12:34 The crowd then answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?" The crowd must have understood that Jesus was identifying as the Christ. The disciples certainly knew it but had been told to tell no one. Matthew 16:20 “Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.” The same crowd that said they heard thunder when God spoke, expressed confusion over how the Christ, the Son of Man, could be crucified. Their understanding was that He was to live forever. The disciples thought the same. So the question was and still is. How does one die, yet live forever? The answer: Jesus is the resurrection and the life. To live to love with Jesus we must be convinced that we must die to (we must hate) our lives in this world in order to experience Jesus' resurrection life which pours Himself out in love.

Community Prayer and Encouragement

John 12:32-33. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die. It's like Jesus had been sitting in the secret council chambers of the Pharisees. He knew their plans, but unbeknownst to them, He would accomplish the very thing they were trying to prevent, namely, the whole world going after Him (12:19). They would kill Jesus by crucifying Him, and He would literally draw all—Greeks and Jews alike—to Himself. Remember, this conversation was initiated when the Greeks wanted to see Jesus. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Jesus we worship you and have been drawn to you because you were lifted up for us so we might know and express Your love. Glory be to God.

John 12:31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. Now that God has testified in this world and confirmed that Jesus is the resurrection and the life, God's judgment upon this world has come. The judgment is that this world hates God because its ruler is a murderer and an imposter. He and this world were judged, exposed, and condemned by Jesus' presence and God's word. Jesus prophesied regarding what His suffering would accomplish—the banishment of Satan from the throne of this world. Jesus now reigns as Lord of this world. When we live to love with Him we are testifying to the veracity of Jesus' statement and the power of His rule in this world.

He Must Increase: John 3:22–36In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 3:22–36, where John the Baptist humbly declares, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” As questions of comparison and influence arise, John's response reveals a powerful model of humility, joy, and surrender.Together, they unpack what it means to live a life that points to Jesus rather than elevates self, how identity is secured in Christ—not position—and why true joy is found in making much of Him. This passage invites us to examine our motives, release comparison, and embrace a faith that celebrates Christ's increase above all.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

As of January 2024, an estimated 32,882 veterans are experiencing homelessness in the United States. This figure represents nearly an 8% decrease from 2023 and is the lowest number recorded since tracking began in 2009. Despite an overall increase in general homelessness, targeted efforts have reduced veteran homelessness by over 55% since 2010. Veterans account for roughly 5% of all adults experiencing homelessness nationwide, according to Disabled American Veterans.   Jason Bennett is dedicated to ensuring that those who served our country have a safe place to sleep. As the founder of Operation Homes for Heroes, he focuses on creating housing pathways for veterans experiencing homelessness. His approach combines real-world partnerships with a stability-first model, prioritizing safe housing, supportive services, and community accountability.   Jason did not set out to start a nonprofit; he aimed to address a problem that he could not ignore. As a disabled Marine living in Los Angeles, he has witnessed too many fellow veterans struggle with the challenges of rising rents, complicated systems, and the emotional burdens they carry after service. In a city where homelessness is prevalent, it hits differently when the person on the sidewalk is someone who wore the same uniform, took the same oath, and returned home to a country that lacks a clear path back to stability.   Jason understands that this issue transcends policy—it's a deeply personal, human concern. His life's mission is to help veterans in every way possible, beginning with the foundation that makes all other efforts viable: a safe place to live. He is committed to building a mission-driven nonprofit focused on housing solutions for homeless veterans, connecting individuals to resources, advocating for practical pathways to housing, and rallying community partners who strive for real outcomes, not just awareness.   For more information, visit: [Operation Homes for Heroes](https://www.homesforhereos.org/)  To make a donation: [Change Lives](https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/donate-to-change-lives-7663) Learn more about your ad choices.

Triathlon has a way of meeting you exactly where you are and then asking you to grow. In this episode of Tri Beginner's Luck, Tammy Dotson shares what it looked like to start triathlon after 40 with no swim experience and no idea what she was doing. Her first sprint swim took 47 minutes in frigid conditions, with Raynaud syndrome leaving her hands and feet numb throughout the race. What could have been a one-time attempt became the beginning of something bigger. She kept showing up, found community in groups like Trianimals and FastChix, progressed to the Olympic distance, and eventually qualified for the USA Triathlon National Championships, where she discovered just how powerful and supportive this sport can be.   Her journey to the 70.3 distance was not linear. A DNF at Ironman Gulf Coast after red-flag swim conditions could have ended her dream, but resilience carried her forward to finish Challenge Daytona. Along the way, she redefined success as arriving at the start line healthy and crossing the finish line strong. For Tammy, triathlon became less about podiums and more about discipline, consistency, and the quiet confidence that comes from doing hard things.   After a 2022 craniotomy for a brain tumor, wellness became nonnegotiable. Nutrition, recovery, and holistic care are now the foundation of her training and her life. Out of that season came her SHINE philosophy, Spread Hope, Inspiration, and Encouragement, and a commitment to help others believe it is never too late to begin. This conversation is a reminder that triathlon is not reserved for the fearless. It is built by people willing to start, even when the water feels cold and the path feels uncertain.   Let's tri this!    Remember to leave a review, share it with your friends, and follow Tri Beginner's luck on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.  And send any questions or feedback you have to  tblpodbiz@tribeginnersluck.com. 

In this episode, we sit down with the incredible Christian Bevere to talk all about what it looks like to pray for your future husband — before you even know his name. We dive deep into faith, singleness, and what it really means to contend in prayer for the love story God is writing. Christian shares her whirlwind love story, but more importantly, she walks us through how praying for her husband transformed her heart long before she walked down the aisle. We talk about awkward prayers, husband Bibles, singleness as a gift, and how to navigate dating in today's world without losing your peace or your standards. If you're single and waiting, dating and discerning, or even married and reflecting on how God moved in your story — this conversation will remind you that God hears every prayer, sees every tear, and is wildly intentional with your timeline.

Today marks the exciting launch of our Lenten series, "Waiting for Weight Loss." This six-week-long journey is designed to reorient your heart towards what’s truly important while acknowledging your goals for body change—whether that’s weight loss, looking younger, or any other transformation you’ve been hoping for or working toward. Throughout Lent, you'll get 20 short, practical podcast episodes—three each week—full of encouragement, strategy, daily prayers, and honest conversations about body image, food, and faith. Today, Heather shares her own experience, inviting listeners to consider the difference between healthy goals and making body change an idol. If you’ve been obsessing over jeans that don’t fit or other physical goals, you’ll find hope and help here. **Join the Waiting for Weight Loss Community!**For the first time, we’ve created a private, secure community (not on social media) where you can connect, ask questions, discuss episode topics, and find resources. To join, simply visit Waitingforweightloss.com and drop your email in the form and you'll get instructions on how to join. Topics this season will include: - How to keep your goals grounded- Why God gave us bodies- Discipline as a servant, not a savior- What scripture really says about body size and transformation- How to rightly order the desire for change This is your opportunity to walk the journey with others who get it. Invite a friend, bring your questions, and join a supportive space focused on wholehearted health (body, soul, and spirit), keeping Jesus—not weight loss—as your primary hope. **Don’t forget**: Whether you’re new to Lent or just want a 40-day journey for your heart before Easter, sign up for our private community at waitingforweightloss.com ! Let’s start a conversation, support one another, and find true freedom together.
