What if the answer to a difficult season is not for everything around you to become easier, but for you to become stronger? In this First Wednesday message, David Kubota uses Peter walking on water to show you how challenges can become opportunities to grow your faith, develop endurance, and learn to keep your eyes on Jesus. As you listen, you will be encouraged to build consistent spiritual habits, fill your heart and mind with the right things, stay focused on where Jesus is leading you, and refuse to let the fear of failure keep you in the boat. You do not have to run from hard things when God is strengthening you to overcome them.

Part 1 of May First Wednesday
This message from the final First Wednesday of the semester follows the journey of young Samuel as he learns to recognize and respond to the voice of God. Through Samuel's story, we're reminded that intimacy with God is cultivated through intentional time in His presence and a heart willing to listen and obey. The message challenges us to move beyond simply knowing about God into a genuine relationship with Him through Scripture, prayer, and obedience. Using the SOP method of Bible reading, we're equipped to encounter not just God's Word—but God Himself.

You believe it — but are you saying it? In this powerful First Wednesday teaching, you'll explore one of the most practical and transformative principles in Scripture: the power of your confession. Romans 10:10 is clear — belief in the heart and confession with the mouth work together, and one without the other won't get you where you're going. Whether you're believing God for healing, financial provision, or breakthrough in your family, this episode will challenge you to stop just thinking it and start speaking it — consistently, boldly, and without wavering. The story of Dr. Lillian B. Yeomans alone is worth the listen. Tune in and let your words start working for you.

In this First Wednesday message, Pastor Robert Favela teaches from Isaiah 40 and the calling of John the Baptist, inviting us to prepare our hearts for Christ's presence. He shares how God lowers pride, lifts what's broken, straightens what's gone crooked, and smooths out the noise that distracts us. Be encouraged to let the Lord work deeply in your heart and make room for Him to move.
