In this message, Pastor Sam Picken from C3 Assembly in Toronto unpacks a robust, biblical vision of discipleship and equipping in the local church, drawing primarily from Ephesians 4 and the “net‑mending” call on every believer.Built around Ephesians 4:11–16, this sermon explores how Christ gives apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers “to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up… attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” Pastor Sam clarifies that:Christians are born again in a moment (John 3:3–7; 2 Corinthians 5:17), fully righteous in Christ (Romans 3:21–26),But disciples are made over time, moving from spiritual infancy to maturity (Hebrews 5:12–14; 1 Corinthians 3:1–3).Using the language of Ephesians 4:14, he contrasts mature disciples with “infants, tossed back and forth by the waves” of culture, ideology, and deceitful schemes (John 10:10; Colossians 2:8). The message calls believers to resist a me‑centered, consumer Christianity (Luke 9:23–25; Mark 8:34–36) and embrace a life of surrender, holiness, and mission.Pastor Sam lays out a holistic view of discipleship that includes:Personal devotion and prayer (Matthew 6:5–13; Acts 2:42)Weekend services and corporate worship (Hebrews 10:24–25; Psalm 122:1)Godly friendships and groups (Proverbs 13:20; Acts 2:46–47)Serving on teams and submitting to leadership (Mark 10:43–45; Hebrews 13:17; 1 Peter 4:10)Drawing on the Greek word for “equip” (katartismos) in Ephesians 4:12, he illustrates discipleship as mending, repairing, and strengthening nets—restoring people to purpose (Matthew 4:18–22), arranging their lives according to God's design (Romans 12:1–2), and helping them become “useful to the Master” (2 Timothy 2:20–21).Throughout the sermon you'll hear:A prophetic encouragement for a young couple to step into calling and strict training (1 Corinthians 9:24–27)A challenge to shift priorities—finances, time, and relationships—toward the kingdom (Matthew 6:19–24, 33; 2 Corinthians 9:6–8)A call for every believer to move from only receiving to also pouring out (John 7:37–38; Acts 20:35)Anchored in John 6:35, Jesus as the “bread of life,” Pastor Sam describes discipleship as one beggar showing another beggar where to find bread. Every conversation, text, coffee, and small group becomes an act of sharing that bread and mending the net so others can step into fullness of life in Christ (John 10:10; Colossians 1:28–29).The message closes with Romans 15:13, praying that the God of hope would fill believers “with all joy and peace as you trust in him,” so they overflow with confident hope through the Holy Spirit—and join God's work of equipping everyone to equip everyone.

Equipping Hour | Imaging God in a Broken World | War and Criminal Justice by OrlandoGrace

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. I was talking with Oliten Lameck, EE's National Director of Malawi, and he shared what God is doing: “Like now we are training the people, equipping pastors, equipping young leaders on how to share the Gospel. For instance, last week we had a training, Hope for Kids training and also Share Your Faith training. So we are busy with the Gospel, equipping people so that they may also equip other people with the Gospel.” You know, that's really how the Gospel spreads. One believer shares with another. One person is equipped, and then they help equip someone else. That's why Paul told Timothy to entrust what he had learned to faithful people who would teach others also. So don't just learn how to share your faith for yourself. Disciple someone else how as well. That's spiritual multiplication! If you need help getting started, we have resources for you. For those and to get involved with seeing the Gospel go to the nations like Malawi, visit our website at ShareLife.Today.

In the Old Testament, prophets were equipped by God to illuminate His purpose for the people. One such leader, Zechariah, rallied the Jewish people after their Babylonian exile, using a “hope-ray vision” that was vibrant, revealing, and galvanizing. His powerful visions, bold promises, and vivid prophecies revealed God's heart to protect, restore, and lead His people. And that message still rings true today. Join Horizon at the Equipping Services for a verse-by-verse journey through ZECHARIAH as we see how Christ-followers, like the Israelites before us, can rediscover hope by looking deep into God's work.

Judd Saul took one trip to Nigeria and knew that his life's mission was to help the persecuted Christians living there. Judd is the president of Equipping the Persecuted, a ministry that exists to do exactly that: stop the persecution, provide resources for those who are victimized by radical Islamists, and bring in aid, like medicine and food, immediately after an attack. Sadly, Judd reveals that the situation in Nigeria is worse than ever. Jihadi ambushes against Christians are only escalating, and the Nigerian government refuses to intervene; in fact, they help aid the Jihadists. He urges Christians in America to pray for the persecuted church, become a monthly partner with Equipping the Persecuted to help save Nigerians, and call their senator or congressman and ask them to intervene in this serious situation in Nigeria. TAKEAWAYS Equipping the Persecuted led 1,000 Muslims to Christ last year alone The Nigerian government is controlled by a very aggressive and well-armed minority The U.S. government has done little to help the situation in Nigeria Equipping the Persecuted responds with humanitarian aid after an attack within minutes or hours and all donations assist in this mission

This week on The Narrative, Aaron, David, and Mike get into the details of both the Cleveland Clinic’s settlement over fraudulent billing for gender procedures, which established a $2 million detransitioner fund, and the Major League Baseball players who resisted forced corporate speech during Pride Month by rejecting pride caps or writing scripture on their gear.

One such leader, Zechariah, rallied the Jewish people after their Babylonian exile, using a “hope-ray vision” that was vibrant, revealing, and galvanizing.

The post Equipping Hour: Healing and Blessing in the Wilderness appeared first on Grace Bible Church.

This episode reflects on Matthew 9 where Jesus heals, shows compassion for the crowds, and sends out the twelve disciples with a mission to proclaim the kingdom and heal the sick. The speaker connects that Gospel call to Vacation Bible School, describing VBS as a moment when the church equips and sends out "unfinished" disciples into an imperfect world, trusting the Spirit and the gifts of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faithfulness.

In this episode, David takes us behind the scenes at the Statehouse to the moment when the "Success Sequence" bill was resurrected at the eleventh hour during his desperate time of prayer. Then, Aaron breaks down a massive win for election security: a constitutional amendment heading to the November ballot to officially close the mail-in loophole and permanently lock down voter ID laws. After the news, the hosts take time to celebrate that The Narrative is officially five years old! Take a look back at the half-decade of truth, learn the hosts’ all-time favorite guests (from Bob Woodson and Dr. Ben Carson to Chloe Cole), and get some hilarious secrets from when the mics were off, including the infamous day that newly hired Mike accidentally drank the very last of Congressman Jim Jordan's personal apple cider.

God uses men for men and graces men for men. The New Covenant is not built on our performance but on the finished work of Christ, and because of what He has done, the most important voice we can tune into is what God's Word says about us, not the steady stream of lies the enemy offers as an alternative.Victory begins with light. Truth is what confronts deception, and the more we see ourselves through the lens of Scripture, the more our confidence in who we are in Christ grows. And when we fall short, we do not run from Him. We run to Him, resting in the finished work of redemption and the full assurance of everything He has already accomplished on our behalf.Hit play and share this episode with someone who needs to stop listening to the wrong voice.

The world we see is not the whole story. Pastor Nelson's teaching on Overshadowed reminded us that the spirit realm is not a distant concept but a present reality operating right alongside everything we can touch and observe. Scripture pulls back the curtain on what our natural eyes so easily miss.Every spirit being traces its origin back to God, and none can compare to Him. Because spiritual influences are real and active, believers cannot afford to be passive. We are called to live with vigilance and discernment, constantly investing in the inward man through prayer, the Word, and deep fellowship with God. Hit play and share this episode with someone who needs a reminder that there is far more happening in the unseen than we often stop to acknowledge.

The enemy does not show up with a straightforward fight. He works through temptation, accusation, deception, and idolatry, always angling to pull hearts away from the Lord. But no accusation can hold against those Christ has redeemed. The blood speaks a better word, and it speaks louder.Spiritual warfare begins with knowledge. The more deeply we are rooted in God's Word, the less ground deception has to stand on. And here is what changes everything: we do not fight to win. We fight from a victory already secured. Everything we stand on, Christ has already accomplished. Hit play and share this episode with someone who needs to be reminded that they are not fighting for victory but from it. 

Ignorance is not our portion. Because we are not unaware of the enemy's schemes, we must be intentional about closing every door, guarding against carelessness, bitterness, and unforgiveness, which are entry points we often underestimate. What we leave unchecked, the enemy will not overlook.The enemy is strategic, and so must we be. He watches for opportune moments, which is why vigilance and godly community are not optional extras but essential to how we walk. As God works in us through sanctification, our part is to yield, staying open to the Holy Spirit and letting Him shape every area of our lives without reservation.Hit play and share this episode with someone who needs to be stirred toward greater vigilance and surrender.
