Every altar requires a sacrifice — something that costs you, something that moves heaven. In this life-transforming message, Apostle Vincent Loate reveals the mystery behind Altars and Sacrifice — how the fire of God responds only to what's surrendered at the altar.

JP reminded us that our hope isn't in how well we perform for God but in the promise, He's already kept through Jesus. From Abraham's story, we see that those who live by performance become slaves to it, but those who trust God's promise live free. So, stand firm, not in what you can do, but in what Christ has already done for you. Performers become slaves to performancePeople of the promise live freeStand firm in Christ's performanceLife Group Discussion:How have past experiences—like family expectations, school, or church—shaped the way you view performance and worth?How does trying to control outcomes—like Abraham and Hagar—keep us from trusting God's promises?What are some ways you're tempted to rely on your own effort instead of Christ's finished work?

In this message, Pastor Miles teaches that tithing isn't about rules—it's about relationship and trust. From Abraham to Jesus, the tithe has always been a heartfelt response to God's grace and faithfulness. When we return to God what already belongs to Him, we honor His provision and invite His blessing into every area of our lives. Watch this message to discover how a trusting heart unlocks the promises of heaven.

What if the most “boring” parts of Joshua are actually the brightest windows into God's heart? We walk through the land allotments and find more than borders and cities; we find a faithful God who keeps every promise and then invites us into something larger than maps can hold. The text says Israel received rest, yet Hebrews insists a greater rest still waits. That tension becomes the key: the quiet after battle foreshadows a Sabbath that begins with trust and culminates in the presence of Christ, where striving ends because His work is finished.We also reframe inheritance. Israel does not grab prizes; they receive a Father's gift—houses they did not build, vineyards they did not plant. Leviticus calls the land the Lord's, so the right word isn't conquest, it's inheritance. From Abraham's vantage point, the hope was always bigger: a city with foundations, designed and built by God. Joshua's geography, then, becomes a signpost to an imperishable kingdom kept for us, a future far more secure than any border stone and far more satisfying than a harvest we grew ourselves.Grace, surprisingly, is already alive in Joshua through the cities of refuge. There, guilt is admitted and protection is found under the high priest until his death settles the debt. The pattern prefigures Jesus, our High Priest, whose cross turns future sin into forgiven past. Along the way, we confront two modern hazards success brings: complacency that delays obedience and assumptions that fracture unity. Joshua presses us to step into what God has given, to labor in love while time remains, and to guard fellowship with clear words and quick reconciliation.Come hear how thirty-one fallen kings, a nation at rest, and a map full of city names reveal the gospel's shape: work now, rest forever; receive what you could never earn; run to the refuge that never closes.

Sometimes our faith feels small - focused only on me, my salvation, my story. But God's heart has always been global. From Abraham to Isaiah to Jesus, His plan has always been to reach every tribe, every tongue, every nation.In this powerful message, Pastor Nick challenges us to zoom out and see the bigger picture of God's mission. The gospel isn't meant to stop with us — it's meant to move through us.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website: http://crosspointschurch.com To stay up to date, check out our social media: Instagram: @crosspointskc Facebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKC

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.”This single declaration from John the Baptist captures the heart of the gospel. From Abraham's altar to the Passover in Egypt, from Isaiah's Suffering Servant to the cross of Christ, the image of the Lamb weaves through all of Scripture.In Jesus, the Lamb becomes both sacrifice and sovereign — the one who conquers not by force, but through self-giving love. The Lamb who was slain now reigns upon the throne, and His blood not only redeems humanity but restores creation itself.To behold the Lamb is to behold the very heart of God — holy love revealed through humble obedience, divine power expressed through sacrificial grace.

What if worship isn't about the songs we sing, but the lives we lay down? In “The Sound of Surrender,” Pastor Oscar takes us back to the very first place the Bible ever mentions worship — not a stage, not a crowd, but an altar. From Abraham's obedience in Genesis 22 to Paul's call in Romans 12:1–2, this message reveals that true worship begins with surrender, is proven in the fire, and costs us something. Through powerful teaching and vivid illustrations — from the story of Jim Elliot to the refining process of a Steinway piano — Pastor Oscar reminds us that real worship isn't measured by how loud we sing, but by how deeply we surrender.

“He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him.” — John 1:10 (ESV)The Creator walked among His creation — and the world failed to see Him.From Abraham's recognition under the oaks of Mamre, to Simeon and Anna's joy in the temple, Scripture reveals a tension between divine presence and human blindness.Christ's words before Pilate still echo today: “My kingdom is not of this world.”In an age of distraction and self-made kingdoms, do we truly recognize Him?He is still here. The Word still speaks. The Light still shines.Listen to the latest episode of Living Theology with Brendon Naicker —“The Unrecognized Creator” — a reflection on John 1:10 that explores the paradox of divine presence, spiritual perception, and modern recognition of Christ in the world He made.

Send us a textWhat if the Kingdom you're waiting for is already here? We take a hard look at common end-times assumptions and lay out a clear, Scripture-first case that Christ reigns now, not later. Moving beyond charts and timelines, we explore why Revelation 20's “thousand years” functions as a symbol of the present age of Christ's authority, how 1 Corinthians 15 anchors that claim, and what it means for hope, mission, and daily courage.We dig into the origins of dispensationalism and the Scofield Reference Bible, asking whether a nineteenth-century framework should define how we read ancient texts. From Abraham to the apostles, the through-line remains the same: saved by grace through faith. That lens settles the debate over “different ways of salvation” and re-centers the cross as the definitive victory that binds Satan's power to blind the nations. If the gospel's spread to every tribe and tongue is real, it's because the Stronger One has already plundered the strong man's house.We then turn to the temple. Jesus didn't promise a return to sacrifices; he declared himself the true temple and opened the holiest by his blood. With Christ as cornerstone and the church as living stones, the future we anticipate isn't a rebuilt shrine but the consummation of a Kingdom that never ends. We show how Revelation's imagery leans on Zechariah, why the “rod of iron” fits a reigning King in a resistant world, and how Paul's vision—Christ reigning until death is defeated—aligns with an everlasting dominion.If you're ready to trade speculation for sturdy, Christ-centered hope, this conversation will sharpen your reading and steady your heart.

God's promises are powerful — but what if it's not just about the promise, but about the Promiser? In this message, we look at how God's faithfulness goes far beyond what we can see, imagine, or even ask for. From Abraham's waiting to our own moments of doubt, discover how His protection, provision, and purpose are always right on time.

Faith is more than belief—it's action. In this message from James 2:14–26, we're reminded that genuine faith produces tangible works of love and obedience. In a culture that often separates words from deeds, James challenges believers to embody their faith through compassion, generosity, and courage. From Abraham's obedience to Rahab's risky hospitality, we see that true faith always moves—toward God and toward others. Grace changes our hearts, but faith makes that change visible. As Craig Keener said, “Genuine faith is a reality on which one stakes one's life, not merely passive assent to a doctrine.” ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

This week, Eric taught that God's mission has always been to bless the world through His people. From Abraham to Jesus, God's plan has never changed: those who know His love are called to share it. When Isaac lost sight of that mission, God corrected the story through Jacob—and ultimately through Jesus, who came to bless all people. Following Jesus means joining that mission today: serving others, blessing outsiders, and sharing Jesus wherever we go.

God's heart has always been for the nations. From Abraham's promise to Isaiah's vision of a house of prayer for all peoples to John's glimpse of a multitude before the throne, Scripture reveals a global mission. But like Israel, the church today can lose the plot when we forget who the Gospel is for. Join us for part 2 of Bridges, where we see that love crosses borders—racial, cultural, and personal. Jesus calls us to become a bridge to the nations—starting right here in our city.

Pastor Kurt explores Genesis 12–50, showing how God's promises unfold across generations. From Abraham's trust in God's word to Joseph's journey from victim to victor, we see God's sovereignty, providence, and faithfulness on display. Even when life feels uncertain, God's promises remain sure, and His plan is always at work. Learn how the Old Testament points to Jesus and discover how to rest in God's promises in your own life.Scripture Reference: Genesis 12–50Key Themes: Faith, Promise, Providence, Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises

In this week's message, Pastor Jordan Shimon shares how God's Kingdom has always been designed to grow through family — not systems or structures, but sons and daughters walking in covenant relationship. From Abraham's promise to the blessing of Jacob and Joseph in Genesis 48, we're reminded that the Kingdom of God multiplies through love, unity, and generational faithfulness. Discover how embracing your identity as part of God's family releases His authority and purpose in your life.

Send us a textIn this episode of Viewpoints, Jordan and Pastor John talk about what it really means for the church to live “outside the walls.” Too often, churches (and individuals) drift toward comfort and routine, but God calls us to something greater—to step out, sacrifice, and bless others. From Abraham's calling in Genesis 12 to the example of the early church in Acts 8, Scripture shows us that God blesses us so we can bless others.Join the conversation as we explore:- What makes a church truly healthy- How to avoid becoming “siloed” and inward-focused- Why sacrificial love transforms both individuals and communities- Practical ways to love your city with no hidden agendaWe pray this encourages you to step outside your own walls and see the joy God brings when His people live on mission.

We live in a culture built around convenience—cancel anytime, unsubscribe, skip the hard parts. But what happens when that mindset spills into the things that actually matter—our relationships, our faith, our community?In this message, Pastor Josh explores the sacred rhythm of making and keeping commitments. From Abraham's covenant to Jesus' table, we see a God who remains faithful even when we don't. Commitment isn't about perfection—it's about presence. And when we keep showing up for each other, we reflect the faithful presence of God in the world.Maybe it's time to renew a commitment. Maybe it's time to make one.

Faith in Action: Hebrews 11:17–29In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into Hebrews 11:17–29, highlighting the bold faith of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and the Israelites. From Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac to Moses leading God's people through the Red Sea, each story demonstrates what it means to trust God against all odds. This powerful passage reminds us that faith isn't passive—it moves us to action, obedience, and courage. Be encouraged to step forward in your own journey of faith, believing God is faithful to His promises.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book:Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved

He died to make us dangerous to darkness.

The Gospel of Matthew opens with a genealogy. Another long list of names in the Bible which you would be forgiven for thinking would make for dry conversation. But a closer look reveals this list of names tells the story of God's faithfulness in keeping his promises throughout the generations. From Abraham to David, and from exile to Christ, this chapter reveals how God's plan of salvation unfolds through flawed and broken people. Even the inclusion of Gentiles and those with scandalous pasts points to the heart of the Gospel: Jesus came to save sinners like us.  The Rev. Steven Theiss, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 1.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

From Abraham's journey in Hebrews 11 to the everyday steps of faith we take in Shelbyville, this week's message reminds us that God calls us to live boldly, not by sight but by trust in His promises.Through powerful stories, both from Scripture and our own community, we saw how saving faith, the gift of faith, and living by faith transform lives and entire cities.

Title: The Explosive Power of This Two Word PhraseSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 11:17-40Episode Overview:In this episode, we continue through Hebrews 11 and explore the explosive power of two simple words: by faith. From Abraham's trust in God when asked to sacrifice Isaac, to Moses choosing reproach over riches, to saints who endured trials and persecution—their lives remind us that ordinary people with faith in an extraordinary God become unstoppable. Hebrews 11 calls us to trust when we cannot see, to hope when circumstances seem bleak, to take courage when culture resists, and to live with an eternal perspective that reshapes how we see the present.Key Highlights:• Trust: Abraham, Israel at the Red Sea, and Jericho's walls—faith begins with trust in God's promises.• Hope: The patriarchs looked beyond their lives to God's certain future.• Courage: Faith emboldened Moses' parents, Rahab, and countless others to risk everything.• Perspective: Moses and Rahab valued eternal treasure over temporary gain.• Faith's Power: By faith, God's people changed the world and their inner world, becoming those “of whom the world was not worthy.”• Something Better: We live in the fullness of Christ, the “something better” they longed for.Call to Action:Where is God asking you to trust Him today? Hebrews 11 reminds us that faith is not reserved for spiritual giants but is available to ordinary believers who place their confidence in a faithful God. Take that next step of trust—whether in your family, your generosity, your calling, or your perseverance—believing that the God who was faithful then is faithful now.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

In this message, Minister Mark Ashton explores the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph in Genesis 12–50. These four patriarchs reveal God's faithfulness to His promises despite human weakness, dysfunction, and failure.

Discover how their stories speak into your own life—whether you feel overlooked, wounded, or betrayed, God is still at work turning brokenness into blessing.

Worship isn't just about singing songs or attending church—it's any response of surrender to God. In this message from our This Is Worship series, we explore the true heart of worship: a posture of trust, surrender, and rest.From Abraham's obedience on the mountain to Jesus' own unhurried presence, Scripture reminds us that worship is not primarily about activity, but about relationship. Sabbath rest is God's invitation to stop striving, to trust Him as Creator and Provider, and to declare that Jesus is enough.

In this powerful sermon, Ps Maartin reveals the depths of The New Covenant, showing how the believer moves from knowledge into reality - becoming the covenant itself. From Abraham's promise to the greater ministry of the Spirit, this message uncovers the three witnesses of the New Covenant: the blood, the Spirit, and the water. With bold teaching, personal encounters, and a call to demonstration, you will see how the New Covenant frees you from condemnation, empowers you to live as a witness, and manifests the life of Christ in you.

God's covenant was never meant to be exclusive—it has always been an open invitation for insiders, outsiders, and even those not yet present. From Abraham to the prophets, Scripture points to a God who blesses all peoples, offering mercy and inclusion to the overlooked and far-off. The gospel of Jesus carries this same call: to remove barriers, welcome the broken, and proclaim repentance and new life for all. As followers of Christ, we are links in an unbroken chain, entrusted to carry God's inclusive promise forward to “those not yet here.”

This weekend, Dr. Jim Keck will preach a sermon titled "Faith on Earth," grounded in Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-10—a stirring passage that reminds us that faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. From Abraham's bold journey into the unknown to our own modern quests for meaning and trust, we'll explore how to live faithfully in a world that often demands certainty.

Send us a textWhat happens when allegiance to political figures outshines our devotion to Christ? This provocative exploration of Christian unity challenges us to reconsider where our true loyalties lie.The conversation opens with a stark observation: many Christians today show more passionate allegiance to political leaders than to Christ Himself. Relationships between believers are severed over political differences while our eternal bonds through Christ are forgotten. As one speaker asks, "Why aren't Christians that rabid when it comes to the one who saved them?"Diving into Galatians 3:8, we discover the beautiful continuity of God's plan throughout history. From Abraham to present day, salvation has always come through the same gospel of faith. This scripture, described as "a masterpiece," reveals how God intended from the beginning to justify people from all nations through faith in Christ. As Abraham became "father of many nations," we see God's heart for a diverse family united through belief.The discussion takes an illuminating turn when addressing commonly misunderstood concepts like the "mark of the beast." Rather than physical interpretations, the speakers present a deeper spiritual understanding – how our thoughts (forehead) and actions (hands) demonstrate whom we truly worship. Similarly, believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit, marking divine ownership.What makes any nation truly "great"? Not economic power or military might, but the freedom to worship God without hindrance. As we navigate divisive times, remember: we are "inextricably linked to one another. Eternally." Our spiritual connections transcend all earthly divisions.Ready to strengthen your faith perspective?

True success isn't measured by what you build in your lifetime—it's measured by what lasts beyond it.   In this episode, Dr. Joseph Mattera unpacks the biblical blueprint for building a multigenerational legacy. From Abraham to Timothy, Scripture is filled with examples of leaders who passed down covenant, not just content.  

In this deeply personal episode, Stephen shares a major life update: after four years on staff at Northview Church, he's stepping into a new season — working alongside Valley Christian Counseling and Wellness to oversee marketing, social media, and church partnerships, while also pursuing writing, speaking, and resource development.Stephen and Megan unpack the process of discernment, how long-term dreams from years ago (including conversations from 2021) began to align with God's timing, and what it looks like to hold dreams in tension with present faithfulness. From Abraham's "Going Somewhere" journey to the challenge of “leaving tomorrow while staying forever,” this conversation explores calling, obedience, and the sacredness of transition.They also talk through the completion of Stephen's upcoming book, navigating emotions in transition, and listening to God's voice in everyday life.Get Updates on Stephen's book process!Follow Stephen Glasser on Instagram Follow Going Somewhere Podcast on InstagramAsk a Question or Suggest a Guest | goingsomewherepod.comSubscribe to us on YoutubePodcast Music: Electric Ten by Broke in SummerGoing Somewhere is a resource of Northview ChurchStephen's Instagram & Website

Galatians 3: Faith, Freedom, and the Promise of More In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson turns the spotlight to Galatians chapter 3—a pivotal passage where Paul passionately unpacks the difference between living by faith and being bound by the law. Building on earlier chapters, this conversation explores how grace, not performance, secures our place in God's family. Through clear teaching and heartfelt reflection, Michael highlights Paul's rebuke of the Galatians for slipping back into works-based righteousness, and his reminder that the Spirit comes by faith—not rule-keeping. From Abraham to the coming of Christ, Galatians 3 unveils the promise of freedom through trust in God's covenant, not human effort. This episode also reintroduces Zoweh's Base Camp, a new online resource library filled with devotionals, discussion guides, and podcast video series designed to help individuals and small groups dive deeper into Scripture—especially journeys like Galatians. Whether you're walking this out alone or with brothers in community, Galatians 3 reminds us that there is always more—more to believe, more to trust, and more freedom to receive as sons and daughters of God. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

The biblical witness is a book of hope. From Abraham and Sarah through the Apostles, people of faith placed their hope in the promises of God and God's covenant with them. However, when Jesus' spiritual path of radical compassion became overshadowed by the Roman Empire, God's work of redemption was increasingly pushed aside. Too many Christians have embraced a secular version of hope that depends on a mythical idea of human progress. But this is not the hope seen in the Israelite community of Moses or the disciples of Jesus. www.TheLoftLA.org

From leaving behind a pagan past to following a God he barely understood, Abraham's journey was filled with mystery, setbacks, and detours—but it changed the world.Pastor Lamb challenges us to abandon our comfortable, predictable Christianity and instead embrace the unpredictable, faith-filled life God calls us to. If you've ever felt stuck, unsure, or too “rational” for radical obedience, this message is for you.This is not a sermon for the faint of heart—this is a call into the unknown.Text: Genesis 12:1–5 | Acts 7:2–5 | Hebrews 11:8–100:00 - Intro: Preaching After Giants0:36 - Why the Unknown Terrifies Us2:33 - Charging Into the Unknown4:35 - Abraham's Comfortable Religion6:40 - When God Interrupts Your Theology8:44 - Can God Wreck Your Plans?10:08 - From Paganism to Calling11:36 - When God Detonates Your Safe Christianity13:29 - The False God of Mammon14:49 - The “Adventure” You Didn't Plan17:03 - Our Predictable, Toothless God20:22 - Stuck in Haran: When You Bring Baggage22:06 - Obedience Delayed = Destiny Delayed23:22 - Marital Chaos in Egypt24:48 - Faith Is Not What You Expected26:27 - You Don't Know God (Really)28:03 - What We Don't Know Exceeds What We Do29:35 - Destiny Isn't About You31:20 - God's Plan: Bigger Than Canaan33:08 - From Abraham to You35:09 - Your Life = Small Dreams or Global Impact?36:11 - Examine Your Faith37:48 - Living the Sermon on the Mount39:31 - Are You a Blessing to the Nations?40:52 - Go and Make Disciples Anyway41:27 - God Lives in the Unknown43:33 - We Haven't Arrived Yet43:37 - Final Challenge: Meet with God

Galatians 3 is Paul's bold rebuke to any religion that adds effort to grace—and that includes modern Mormonism. In this episode, we unpack Paul's powerful message that salvation doesn't come through priesthoods, ordinances, or performance—but by faith alone. From Abraham to the cross to the new covenant, God's promise has always been simple: Trust in Jesus, and you belong. Mormonism complicates what God made clear. This chapter shows why that matters.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine. Join us for new episodes every Monday.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike talks about the incredible truth that our sovereign God is faithful to His promises. In a world full of broken commitments and shifting circumstances, it's easy to become skeptical or discouraged. But God's promises never fail. From Abraham to Jesus to your life today, He has always fulfilled what He has spoken. Mike reminds us that trusting in God's sovereignty isn't blind optimism—it's anchoring our lives in the reliability of His character. Whether you're waiting for a breakthrough, carrying a burden, or just wondering if God sees you, this episode will renew your confidence that He does—and He always keeps His word.

What does it really mean to worship God? In this message, we explore the powerful truth that worship is more than music—it's a life of obedience, surrender, and sacrifice. From Abraham's willingness to lay down his son to a woman pouring out her most valuable possession at Jesus' feet, the Bible shows us that true worship costs something. It's not about appearances or routine—it's about a heart fully surrendered to God.

What do you do when Heaven gives you a name your life doesn't yet reflect? In this prophetic and piercing episode, Skye Edmonds unpacks the divine blueprint behind identity transformation—the sacred rhythm of Rename → Reframe → Reveal. From Abraham's barren years to Sarah's weary laugh, you'll discover why God often speaks identity long before results—and how your willingness to speak it aloud shifts not only your mindset, but the molecular structure of your future.This isn't self-help. It's covenant strategy.This isn't hype. It's Heaven's architecture.You'll learn how identity language rewires the brain, activates Kingdom authority, and silences enemy assignments. You'll receive biblical truth, neuroscience insight, and a holy confrontation with every lie you've believed about what you're “allowed” to call yourself.Plus, Skye shares guardrails for speaking “I AM” declarations that stay rooted in Christ, not counterfeit thinking—drawing a bold line between Kingdom alignment and New Age mimicry. You'll leave with a fire in your belly, a sword in your mouth, and the bold permission to say it anyway.------------------CONNECT WITH MEJoin my new private group on Facebook, The Development Studio, for faith-driven female creative entrepreneurs: https://www.facebook.com/groups/developmentstudioDM me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theheiresspodcast

They share personal stories of waiting on God in different seasons and unpack biblical examples that remind us we are not alone in the pause. From Abraham and Sarah to Hannah and Joseph, Scripture is filled with people who were shaped and strengthened in their waiting.Nikki and Angie offer wisdom on how to embrace waiting as a spiritual discipline rather than a passive delay. They discuss the importance of cultivating spiritual habits, remaining active in faith, and surrounding yourself with a supportive community.Waiting is not a waste—it's an invitation to trust God more deeply. If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone else who needs a reminder that they're not waiting alone. SHOW LINKS: Connect with Angie ElkinsWorking It vs. Working For It with Lisa Whittle
