The USS Gerald R. Ford is America's newest aircraft carrier. It's longer than 3 football fields and taller than a 24-story building. But when this massive ship needs to stay in place, it relies on a 30,000-pound anchor.In life, your son doesn't need a physical anchor, but he does need to be grounded in God's Word. Today's anti-Christian culture will try to make him believe that choices of morality, truth, and gender are defined by each person. But by being well grounded in Scripture, he can defend his faith and stand firm against the cultural currents of the day. Hebrews 6:19 is an excellent reminder that Jesus is the “anchor of our soul.”To learn more about growing boys into godly men, download the free resource Raising Godly Boys: A Proven Process at Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

There are moments when all of us have experienced Scripture as boring or lifeless. But what if we approached the Bible as part of an intimate and interactive relationship with Jesus? Thankfully, God's Word is more than a book to study — it's an invitation to join the love song that our tender Father is singing over you and all of Creation. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi continue their conversation with Xander Stok — professional singer, songwriter, and founder of Project of Love: The Bible in Song. The "biblical soundtracks" that he creates in collaboration with the Spirit will draw you into an encounter with God as you contemplate and appreciate him through the Word and worship.

A revival worth praying for begins with the courage to repair what our words have broken. We open with a clear vision—restore—and press into a hard truth: the church often treats sexual sin as fatal while giving gossip, criticism, and slander a pass. That double standard chokes reconciliation, drives repentant people into the arms of communities that feel safer, and delays the prodigal awakening we claim to want.We walk through the biblical case for restoration, naming how James, Proverbs, Galatians, and the Gospels confront tailbearing and devouring. Then we move from conviction to craft. What does a real path home look like? Honor for the fivefold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers—so correction and compassion live together. Spirit-led leadership that disciplines without destroying. Practical repair that goes beyond a vague apology: call the person you maligned, retract the rumor with those you misled, and refuse to fuel the fire with fresh wood.Along the way, we share a raw personal story about a false report that lingered for years, showing how lies shadow a life long after the moment passes. The lesson is not to go soft on sin; it's to go strong on mercy. We are not called to accuse like Satan or judge like God. We are called to restore, reconcile, and protect the anointed so gifts can flourish and prodigals can find their way home. If we want stadiums and cities to open, our mouths must open to bless, not to bruise.Join us as we trade rumor for repentance, suspicion for shepherding, and division for Spirit-led unity.

In Part One of this series Bill and Roger teach that every born-again believer's shared purpose is to advance the Kingdom of God, while your destiny is your unique "thumbprint" for how you do it. They contrast the gospel's "good news" with belligerent, fear-based preaching, emphasizing that God's goodness leads people to repentance and that Jesus called you to make disciples, not just converts. Roger shares how God redirected him in 2010 when he was discouraged and felt like a pinball, revealing he was called to both farm/ranch and preach rather than copy someone else's mold. Using Genesis 26, he encourages you to seek a personal encounter with Holy Spirit, trust God in seasons of "famine," and follow His specific direction, sharing how that word brought breakthrough in his farming and confirmed his son's desire to farm.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Purpose and Destiny 00:32 Gospel With Goodness 03:05 Hearing God Clearly 05:28 Word as Direction 08:02 Famine and Faith 09:23 Marriage Covenant Talk 11:58 Gods Word and Integrity 13:03 Banking Struggles and Perseverance 17:56 Holy Spirit Guidance 21:24 Stay in the Land 24:24 Surrender and Obedience 25:53 Son Chooses Farming 27:03 Ministry Wrap Up   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Where can true peace be found in a troubled world? Discover Gods invitation to every weary heart through Jesus Christ. This message explores the peace that flows from knowing Him, the rest He promises to all who come to Him, and the reconciliation made possible through the blood of His cross. Come and be encouraged by Gods Word and find the peace and rest your soul longs for. The post Peace & Rest for the Soul appeared first on Preachers Corner.

Let's talk.

In a world searching for identity, acceptance, and purpose, many people feel abandoned, overlooked, or uncertain about where they truly belong. The Bible tells the story of a man who had been left to die in the wilderness. When he was found, the first question he was asked was, To whom belongest thou? That same question confronts each of us today. Join us as we discover what Gods Word says about who we are, why Jesus Christ gave His life for us, and how anyone can find lasting hope, forgiveness, and the security of belonging to the One who will never leave or forsake those who come to Him. The post Who do you belong to? appeared first on Preachers Corner.

The Lord Jesus says in John 7:16,17 "Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me . If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself."Obedience is the conduit by which knowledge increases. Knowing doctrine is vitally important. It is one of the purposes of Scripture. But the goal of all doctrine is application of Scripture.2 Tim 3:16,17 says, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." Please note with me beloved that all Scripture is useful for doctrine (teaching), reproof (rebuking those in sin), correction (of those in error), and instruction (training) in righteousness. The purpose of the proper use of Scripture is that the man of God may be conformed into the image of Jesus and thoroughly furnished unto all good works.Pastor Titus tells us in verses 11-14 in chapter 2 that "the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works."Oh precious church family, the fruit of abiding in Jesus that we read about in John 15 is going to be evidenced by the fruit of The Spirit recorded in Galatians 5:22,23 in our lives. It is not until the truth of Scripture is applied to our lives that we truly begin to grow in grace and grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. That is when our lives bring glory to God (John 5:14-16), when we study Gods Word together.Let us not be content with just hearing God's word academically, let us yield that truth to The Holy Spirit and ask Him to apply it to our lives (John 8:31,32) .

What About Israel? Adapted from a study by Warren Wiresbe Romans 9:1-13 I. A Faithless People (vv. 1-5) A. Pauls burden 1.His heart for Israel 2.His hurt for Israel B. Israels benefits 1.The production of the written Word 2.The promise of the Living Word II. A Faithful God (vv. 6-13) A. Not because of who they were B. Not because of what they did C. But, because of Gods purposes More to Consider As we have seen, the Apostle Paul prayed for the salvation of Israel, and this should be a continual prayer of the Church today. The psalmist also declares, pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper that love you (Psalm 122:6). Ultimately, we know peace will only come to Jerusalem when the Messiah returns. Until then we pray for the peace that the gospel brings into the Land of Israel by transforming hearts and minds. However, there are additional practical ways we can pray for Israel. We can pray for safety and security of those in the Land, we can pray for the leaders and government of Israel, particularly with regard to those who actively hinder the spread of the gospel in Israel. The Church should intercede that media coverage about Israel would be true; far too often, nefarious lies are told that cast Israel in a bad light. We should also pray for the governments of our own countries to be fair in their dealing with Israel. These are just a few ways we can bless Israel through intercessory prayer. Thomas Fretwell, Why Israel: Understanding Gods Plan for Israel the Nations. But in spite of their blessings, Israel failed. When the Messiah appeared, Israel rejected Him and crucified Him. No one knew this better than Paul, because in his early days he had persecuted the church. Does Israels failure mean that Gods Word has failed? (The Greek word translated taken none effect pictures a ship going off its course.) The answer is, No! God is faithful no matter what men may do with His Word. Here Paul explains the basis for Israels election. Warren W. Wiersbe, The Bible Exposition Commentary, vol. 1 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1996), 543. The apostle Paul tells us, For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race, the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! (Romans 9:3-5). The truth is that the world hates the Jews because the world hates God. The Jews were Gods firstborn, His chosen people (Deuteronomy 14:2). Through the Jewish patriarchs, the prophets, and the temple, God used the Jews to bring forth His Word, the Law, and morality to a world of sin. He sent forth His son, Jesus the Christ, in a Jewish body to redeem the world of sin. Satan, the prince of the earth (John 14:30; Ephesians 2:2), has poisoned the minds of men with his hatred of the Jews. See Revelation 12 for an allegorical depiction of Satans (the dragons) hatred of the Jewish nation (the woman). Gotquestions.org

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. I first read those words more than twenty years ago in John Pipers The Pleasures of God. Second only to the Bible, that book has had a profound impact on my life. I have owned several copies over the years; my first copy had to be replaced because I wore it out, and the copy on my shelf today is well marked. To give you a sense of why Pipers book means so much to me, let me read something I underlined from his chapter, The Pleasure of God in His Creation: What is the universe but the lavish demonstration of the incredible, incomparable, unimaginable exuberance and wisdom and power and greatness of God! What a God he must be! In that book, Piper says this about prayer: God is the kind of God who delights most deeply not in making demands but in meeting needs. Prayer is his delight because prayer shows the far reaches of our poverty and the full riches of his grace. Then he gives an image for prayer that has stayed with me. He says, Prayer is the walkie-talkie on the battlefield of the world. It is not a domestic intercom to increase the comforts of the saints, but a wartime means of calling upon God for courage, protection, provision, reinforcements, and the advance of His Word. It is not that I didnt believe Pipers words then; it is that prayer was not part of the culture of my heart in the same way that it is now. My prayer is that what we learn from Revelation 8:15 will help us see prayer the way heaven sees it. Last week, we saw that John heard the number of Gods sealed people144,000 from the tribes of Israelbut when he looked, he saw a great multitude no one could number from every nation, tribe, people, and language. I do not believe these are two different peoples of God, but Jews and Gentiles gathered into one redeemed people through Israels Messiah, the Lamb who purchased people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. We also saw that the list of the 144,000 has the feel of a military census, like Numbers 1, where Israel was counted by tribe according to the men able to go to war. But Revelation 7 begins with Judah, because from Judah came the Lion who is also the Lamb. In other words, Revelation 7 gives us a symbolic picture of the people of God gathered, sealed, and ordered around the conquering Lamb. Whatever you believe about the 144,000, their commitment and loyalty to the Lamb is a picture of discipleship and abiding in Jesus. Revelation 14:4 says, It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They are not pictured as passive spectators. They are sealed saints who live with a wartime ethic. Now, when we come to Revelation 8:15, there is a dramatic pause of silence. At the center of that silence stands an angel at the altar with a golden censer. Revelation has already linked incense with prayer. In Revelation 5:8, the elders held golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. In Revelation 6, the martyred saints cried out beneath the altar, O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long? Now, in Revelation 8, the prayers of all the saints rise before God with the smoke of the incense. Then the angel takes fire from the altar, fills the censer, and throws it to the earth. The prayers of the saints rise before the throne, and the fire of Gods judgment falls upon the earth. The Silence Before the Throne of God Notice what precedes the silence in heaven. Remember what I said previously: if the six seals describe what is happening on the world stage in Gods theater, then Revelation 7 shows us what is happening behind the curtain during the first six seals. Notice the language used in Revelation 7:1517: Therefore they are before the throne of God,and serve him day and night in his temple;and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat.For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,and he will guide them to springs of living water,and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Remember whose vision this is. It is Johns vision. The John who wrote these words in our Bibles is the same John who heard Jesus say, If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also (John 12:26). To the hungry and thirsty, John heard Jesus say, I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst (John 6:35). Regarding our need for a shepherd, John heard Jesus say, I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep (John 10:11). What is my point? The language used to describe Johns vision of the multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language before the throne is the language of abiding brought to its final fulfillment. Revelation 7:1517 shows us the completed experience of abiding in Christ and where it ultimately leads: Those who abide in Jesus now, will dwell before God then. Those who come to Jesus as the Bread of Life now, will hunger no more then. Those who drink from Jesus as the fountain of living water now, will thirst no more then. Those who follow Jesus as the Good Shepherd now, will be guided by the Lamb forever then. To be a Christian is to be a person who abides in Jesus. Jesus never made this optional. If you are struggling to see the connection, let me share what Jesus said in John 15: I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. (vv. 14) Then Jesus said of all who abide in Him, If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you (John 15:7). The evidence that you are abiding in Jesus is that you desire to follow the Lamb wherever he goes (Rev. 14:4). And one of the evidences that you are following the Lamb is that you pray. Listen, abiding in Jesus and prayer are not separate. You cannot abide in Christ apart from a praying life. Prayer is the language of abiding. The sealed people of the Lamb are not passive spectators. They are not casual in their Christianity, and they are not content with merely warming chairs on Sunday morning. They are consecrated saints living with a wartime ethic, and one of the primary ways they wage war is by bringing their poverty, weakness, burdens, and cries before the throne of God. So, against the backdrop of Revelation 7, where John hears the people of God numbered as 144,000 and then sees them as a great multitude before the throne, the Lamb opens the seventh seal. And when He does, heaven falls silent. The Prayers Before the Throne of God Remember what I have said about the book of Revelation: it is the crescendo of the whole counsel of Gods Word, packaged into twenty-two glorious chapters. The themes that run from Genesis 1:1 through Jude 25 converge in Johns apocalypse. Genesis begins, In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Jude ends by praising the God who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy (Jude 24). Between Genesis and Jude, one of Scriptures great themes is clear: the people of God live in the middle of a war. Martyn Lloyd-Jones rightly said, There is no grosser or greater misrepresentation of the Christian message than that which depicts it as offering us a life of ease with no battle and no struggle at all.... The first thing we must realize is that the Christian life is a warfare, that we are strangers in an alien land, that we are in the enemys territory. The war is ongoing and unrelentingbut our strength to engage it does not come from within ourselves; it comes from the Lord. This is why Paul wrote, For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12). This is why Revelation does not picture the church as passengers on a cruise ship drifting comfortably through calm waters. No, we are at war, and the church is made up of sealed, redeemed people who follow the Lamb, resist the dragon, refuse Babylon, and find their source of power and strength before the throne of God through prayer. That is why Paul urges us to put on the whole armor of God so we may stand against the devils schemes (Eph. 6:11). Yet the armor of God is not secured by human effort, self-discipline, or religious activity. It is ours because we are in Christ. He is our truth. He is our righteousness. He is our peace. He is our salvation. He is the Word who gives us the sword of the Spirit. We put on the armor by abiding in Jesus, and we stand firm in it by praying at all times in the Spirit (Eph. 6:18). Now, with the image of 144,000 sealed warriors of the Lamb, clothed in the armor of God and standing firm in prayer, we are ready to understand why Revelation 8:15 matters so much. Do not miss where the angel stands in verse 3. He stands at the altar with a golden censer, and he is given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne. Remember, this is not the first time Revelation has connected incense with prayer. In Revelation 5:8, the elders held golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. Then, when the fifth seal was opened, John saw the souls of the martyrs beneath the altar crying out, O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth? (6:10). Here in Revelation 8, John sees these prayersthe prayers of all the saintsrising before God with the smoke of incense in the presence of God Almighty. Notice that what rises before God is not only the prayers of the martyrs but the prayers of all the saints. Not only the prayers of pastors, but all the saints. Not only the prayers of the spiritually mature, but also the prayers of those who are struggling. The prayers of all the saints rise before God. Every person whose faith rests in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, has access to the throne of God through the blood of Jesus. This means that even the weakest cry of the weakest saint, offered through Christ, is not ignored in heaven. All of this takes place within the silence of heaven, but what John sees cannot be misunderstood: God hears the prayers of all who have been redeemed by the blood of His Son. At this moment, John watches the angel take the censer, fill it with fire from the altar, and cast it to the earth. Then peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake pierce the silence. These are the images and sounds of the perfect justice of a holy God. Heaven is silent, but God is not indifferent. His people cry out, and He answers in His time, in His way, and according to His holy character. Joel Beeke says of these verses, Prayer is powerful and effective in this world because God takes more notice of the prayers of His saints than He does the dictates or decrees of governments. When the prayers of the saints ascended to God in heaven, John writes that the earth was shaken with thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake as seven angels prepared to sound seven trumpets. God wants to impress upon us the effectiveness of prayer.... God is saying this: By your prayers, I will overthrow governments. I will confound human plans; I will turn the world upside down, casting the wicked to the ground and delivering My ransomed people. That is why prayer is not a small thing. Prayer is one of the means by which God accomplishes His purposes in history.It is not that our prayers bend God to our will, but as we abide in Christ, we bend to His will. And this same God, who does all that he pleases (Ps. 115:3), is pleased to hear the prayers of His people. Proverbs 15:8 says, the prayer of the upright is His delight (BSB). Conclusion So, permit me to leave you with three questions: If prayer is the language of abiding, what does your prayer life say about your dependence on Jesus? If prayer is the walkie-talkie on the battlefield of the world, have you been using itor have you been trying to fight in your own strength? If heaven receives the prayers of all the saints, can you really say that God has not heard you, or that your prayers do not matter to Him? Listen to me: even the weakest saint, crying out in the name of Jesus, is heard before the throne of God. If you are a Christian, you have access to the throne of God through the Son of God because of the blood of the Lamb. So pray. Pray when you feel weak. Pray when you are afraid. Pray when you do not know what to do. Pray for your family. Pray for this church. Pray for the lost. Pray for those suffering for the name of Christ. Pray for the kingdom to come and for the will of God to be done on earth as it is in heaven. John Piper closes his chapter on prayer with a quote from Patrick Johnstone that I believe serves as an appropriate conclusion to this sermon: Let us mobilize prayer! We can tip the scales of history. Christians can be the controlling factor in the unfolding drama of todays worldlet us not allow ourselves to be chased around by the enemy, but let us go up at once and take the kingdoms of this world for Jesus (Numbers 13:30; Daniel 7:18)He is delighted to give them to us (Daniel 7:22, 27; Luke 12:32). In practical terms, may these truths make our prayer lives as individuals, and in prayer meetings, outward-looking, Satan-shaking, captive-releasing, kingdom-taking, revival-giving, Christ-glorifying power channels for God! Prayer is not how we bend God to our will; prayer is how we abide in Christ, draw near to the Father, and, through the power of the Holy Spirit, join in the purposes of the sovereign God who hears the prayers of all His saints.

What if the power you're praying for is already alive in you—waiting for Christ's identity to take root and grow? We pull back the curtain on how spiritual gifts actually mature, moving from a flash of revelation to steady, dependable operation. Rather than chasing techniques or isolated Scriptures, we trace a path that begins with identity, passes through formation, and results in a life where the Spirit flows because Jesus truly dwells in our hearts.We explore why Romans 8, Galatians 2, and Ephesians 3 are not stand-alone slogans but a single story: the Spirit puts to death the old ways as Christ lives in us, and “exceeding abundantly” becomes real when our inner life is shaped by His presence. Along the way, we dig into the garden of Eden and manna in the wilderness as living metaphors. In Eden, God forms, plants, and causes growth where He walks with us. With manna, what looks abundant from a distance appears small up close—daily seed that trains trust. Both images reframe expectations: God shows us the end to anchor hope but starts with a seed that requires patient care.If you've seen a bold vision—revival, healing, multiplication—expect God to address the inner ground first. He will shape attitude, peace, and humility to carry the weight of what's coming. Gifts begin as grace in the heart and mature into operations that work, not sporadically but naturally, because they flow from relationship. We share testimonies of healings and baptisms, offer practical steps to nurture the seed, and challenge the mindset that tries to “buy” the kingdom with effort. Walking with the King outperforms any hack, and it restores joy where frustration once lived.Ready to trade striving for presence and see your revelation become fruit?

Gods Word comes alive when we practice His precepts and practices

Evangelist Caleb GarrawayJune 7, 2026Sunday School

Greetings, welcome! Let's focus on getting our scriptures into our minds and hearts.

Greetings, welcome! Let's focus on getting our scriptures into our minds and hearts.

Hungry for the gifts of the Spirit but tired of striving? This session lays a clean foundation: the gifts flow from the life of Jesus, not the strength of Adam. We begin with Romans 6 to show how new birth changes your source—your old self was crucified with Christ, and now you live in Him. From that place, revelation replaces effort. It's not about talent or personality; it's about grace multiplied through the knowledge of God and the light that only the Spirit can give.We unpack the vital difference between information and light. You can recite verses on healing and prophecy, but without Spirit-given light, ministry remains hit-or-miss. Drawing from 2 Peter 1 and 1 Corinthians 2, we explore how the Spirit reveals what eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and why that revelation centers on the Son of God. When you see Jesus victorious over death, you gain a settled confidence to confront sin, cycles, and the works of darkness. That clarity fuels consistent, humble, Spirit-led action.Expect practical guidance you can use this month: create daily intentional time with God to listen before you speak, ask for specific light about Jesus' victory for your current barriers, and lead gatherings with room for revelation rather than noise. Real stories of Spirit-prompted outreach remind us this isn't theory—families are transformed when we follow the light. We close with focused prayer and impartation for pastors, leaders, and hungry believers, trusting the God who qualifies the unqualified and prepared good works long before we asked.If you're ready to move from effort to overflow, from information to illumination, this session will help you see Jesus more clearly and walk in the grace of His gifts. Subscribe, share with a friend who's hungry for more, and leave a review telling us where you're asking God for light this week.We love to hear from our listeners!

What if the missing piece in your ministry isn't another plan, budget, or campaign, but a fierce commitment to unity? We invited Pastor Richie Johnson to walk us through a simple but disruptive claim drawn from John 17: when the church becomes one—truly one—the world believes, miracles multiply, and provision meets vision.We trace a living-room church plant that grew from four people to a vibrant congregation renovating a 53,000-square-foot former hospital. Along the way, doors opened in ways no spreadsheet could predict: a medically deaf woman was healed within seconds, a sign language ministry formed, weekly baptisms and Spirit infillings became normal, and a local construction owner—prompted by a conviction he couldn't shake—stepped in to lead a multi-million-dollar renovation. These stories are not hype; they are the fruit of a unified body aligned with the Spirit's purpose.We dig into practical takeaways: how to pray prayers only God can answer, how to diagnose whether your intercession has the aroma of unity, and how humility unlocks collaboration that outlives personalities and preferences. We connect insights from historic and global revivals—Azusa Street, Ethiopia, Thailand—to one clear pattern: unified prayer, unified purpose, unified labor. We also spotlight Richie's new resource, Gifted for More: A Practical Approach to Spiritual Gifts, and why gifts flourish when they are synchronized rather than siloed.If you're hungry for sustainable revival—salvation in your city, healing that serves the community, provision that outruns budgets—start where Jesus starts: become one. Listen, share with your team, and take one actionable step toward repairing relationships and aligning your prayers with God's mission.

A spiritual desert doesn't mean ministry stops; it means we discover what really carries us. We sat down with Pastor Cody Mayo to unpack a striking image that reframes leadership for a noisy, skeptical age: camels. Camels aren't pretty, but they are built for sandstorms. In the same way, prayer, fasting, Scripture, and Spirit-led love look ordinary from a distance, yet they are the load-bearing practices that move people through harsh seasons and toward hope.We trace the theme across Scripture. Paul learned at the feet of Gamaliel—“the camel of God”—a reminder that mentorship and formation matter when the road gets rough. Joseph's lowest moment meets a caravan bearing the balm of Gilead, revealing ministry as healing on the move. Then Rebekah steps to the well, eyes open to the cost, and makes trip after trip to water ten camels. That steady service becomes her road to destiny; the very burdens she lifted end up carrying her to her bridegroom. Along the way, we explore a core warning from Leviticus: never consume what carries you. Don't cut the disciplines that sustain your calling just because the desert feels long.If you've wondered how to lead faithfully amid social media noise, post-pandemic fatigue, and cultural fragmentation, this conversation offers a clear path: tend to the carriers first. Kneel the camels at the well before you reach for the meal. Measure a church not by platform shine but by the ministry it sustains day after day. You were made for this moment, equipped to breathe in the storm and keep moving with healing in hand.If this resonated, share it with a friend, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review with one takeaway you're carrying into the week.We love to hear from our listeners!

We all wear glasses in this room. I am not referring to your contacts or the physical glasses your eye doctor prescribed. I am referring to your worldviewthe lenses through which you interpret everything you see: God, yourself, others, suffering, evil, history, the purpose of life, and the future. In our world today, people use a wide range of worldviews to make sense of reality. Theism holds that a personal God created and rules the world. Naturalism holds that the physical universe is all that exists. Pantheism identifies God with the world or sees God as present in everything. Postmodernism treats truth as personal, socially constructed, or tied to power. Nihilism holds that life has no ultimate meaning, purpose, or moral order. Most people do not wear only one pair of glasses. They switch lenses depending on what suits thema little theism for comfort, a little secularism for control, a little skepticism against authority, and a little self-rule for freedom. It may feel meaningful in the moment, but it cannot finally correct the vision problem. It still leaves reality blurred. One of the clearest symbols of modern humanitys hope was the World Trade Center. It took twelve years, from the earliest design stages in 1961 to the ribbon-cutting in 1973, to complete the Twin Towers, at a cost of about $900 million. The chief architect, Minoru Yamasaki, said the World Trade Center should become a living representation of mans belief in humanity, his need for individual dignity, his belief in the cooperation of men, and through this cooperation his ability to find greatness. That is a remarkable statement. The towers were meant to say something about us: our greatness, dignity, cooperation, and our ability to build a better world. Yet on September 11, 2001, it took less than two hours for those towers to fall, and nearly 3,000 lives were lost. Brothers and sisters, that is not merely a tragedy in American history. It is a parable of the world we inhabit. We live in a world of conflict, bloodshed, injustice, suffering, and death. We build towers and call them peace. We create systems and call them progress. We trust power, wealth, cooperation, technology, politics, and human greatness to bring stability. Yet again and again, the world proves unable to save itself. What we need is a biblical worldviewa way of seeing the world through the lens of Gods Word. Revelation pulls back the curtain on human historypast, present, and futureso we can see things as they really are. In Revelation 6:18, that curtain is drawn back on the world we know all too well: a world marked by conquest, war, famine, injustice, suffering, and death. Yet Revelation does not show us these things to make us despair. It shows us these things so we will see that the horsemen are permitted to ride only because the Lamb has the authority to open the seals. Before we go any further in this sermon, do not miss who opens each seal. It is not the horsemen. It is not the devil. It is not the antichrist. It is not kings, nations, armies, or empires. The Lamb alone has the authority to open the seals and to allow the horsemen to ride. As the Lamb opens the first four seals, do not think of the horsemen as strange figures waiting to be released in the distant future. Instead, think of them as the symbolic unveiling of the very world Jesus told us to expecta world marked by conquest, violence, exploitation, and death. Yet Revelation 6 shows us something the evening news never can: the horsemen ride only because the Lamb opens the seals, and He alone is worthy to do so. The Horsemen and the World Jesus Told Us to Expect We are now entering a section of Revelation that may challenge how many of us have been taught to think about the end times. For many Christians, passages such as Revelation 6 and Matthew 24 have been interpreted almost entirely as future events, often within a framework known as the seven-year tribulation. Many have also been taught that the church will be removed from the earth before that tribulation begins. I realize that, for some of you, that may be the only framework for understanding the end times you have ever known. Faithful Christians have held different views on these matters, so my goal is not to mock what you have been taught or force you into a different system. My goal is simply to ask you to do what the Bereans didto search the Scriptures and see whether these things are so (see Acts 17:10-11). What I want to show you is that Revelation 6 and Matthew 24 are not describing realities completely disconnected from the churchs present life. Jesus Himself told His disciples what this present age would look like: And Jesus answered them, See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. (Matt. 24:4-8) Revelation 6 is not describing a strange world the church has never seen. It pulls back the curtain on the age Jesus describeda world marked by conquest, violence, exploitation, suffering, and death. The four horsemen symbolize realities that have marked human history since Christs ascension and will end when He returns. Yet Jesus words also keep us from hopeless despair. These things are not the end. They are birth pains. And as painful as birth pains are, they remind us that something is coming: the kingdom of Christ in all its fullness. Until that day, the horsemen ride. Like birth pains, the realities they represent continue throughout this age and increase in frequency and intensity as history moves toward the return of Christ and the birth of the new creation. But understand this: they do not roam at their own leisure. The Lamb reigns, and He alone has the authority to open the seals. So when the Lamb opens the seals and the four horsemen are revealed, we are shown the world Jesus told us to expect. But we are also shown what the world cannot see: conquest, violence, exploitation, and death are not rogue realities, nor do they unfold outside His sovereign will and authority. The White Horse: The Lust for Conquest (vv. 1-2) There is some debate about what the rider on the white horse represents, largely because certain features seem to mirror the way Jesus appears in Revelation 19:1116, particularly the white horse He rides and the crown He wears. Others believe the rider represents a false Christ or even the antichrist because he seems to mimic Jesus appearance. The problem with these views is twofold: first, Jesus is the One who opens each of the seals; and second, the remaining horsemen clearly represent forces of destruction rather than specific individuals. There are other suggestions, but the context of Revelation 6 suggests that the rider on the white horse belongs with the other three horsemen: war, famine, and death. Together, they represent the destructive realities that mark this present age. This connection may be reinforced by the first living creature who announces this horse and rider. Notice that the first living creature has the face of a lion, representing strength, majesty, and power among the wild creatures. It is this creature that introduces the rider on the white horse. If there is a symbolic connection between the creature who speaks and the horseman who appears, then the first horseman fittingly represents conquestthe lust of kings, nations, empires, and rulers to expand their power, secure their kingdoms, and impose their will on others. Unlike the kingdom Jesus will bring, this rider represents fallen humanity grasping for dominion apart from God. This horse and its rider promise peace but never deliver it. Their creed is simple: If we can gain enough territory, enough power, enough influence, enough control, then we can secure the future. But Revelation shows us the truth: conquest does not lead to peace. It prepares the way for the red horse. The Red Horse: The Vandalism of Peace (vv. 3-4) The Lamb then opens the second seal. In response, the heavenly creature with the face of an ox, representing domesticated strength, service, and laborthe kind of creature people use to bring forth life from the earthsays, Come! Then the red horse appears, and its rider is permitted to take peace from the earth so that people may slay one another. If the white horse represents the lust for conquest, the red horse reveals what that lust produces. The world promises peace through power, but Revelation shows that power seized apart from God does not preserve peace; it vandalizes it. When God gives sinners over to themselves, the restraints that hold back violence are removed, and the human heart is exposed as it is and what it is capable of. This is why the rider is given a great sword, symbolizing violence, bloodshed, and the destructive force of war. From the first murder in Genesis 4 to the wars and rumors of wars Jesus said would mark this age like birth pains in Matthew 24, human history has been stained with the blood of those created in Gods image. Nations rise against nations. Kingdoms seek to outdo kingdoms. Brother turns against brother. Neighbor turns against neighbor. When sin-cursed humanity seeks dominion apart from God, even in the name of peace, peace is among the first casualties. Make no mistake: the rider on the red horse is not rogue. He is only permitted to take peace from the earth because the Lamb has authority to break the second seal. He does not seize the sword; he is given a great sword. The breaking of the second seal shows that even the violence of this age is not outside the sovereign hand of the Lamb. While the serpent of old was a murderer from the beginning and is the father of lies (John 8:44), Humanitys propensity toward violence is the result of its fallen nature; it is mankind that robs the earth of the shalom it was created to experience. Yet even this violence remains under the authority of the Lamb. The Black Horse: Exploitation of Need (vv. 5-6) The Lamb opens the third seal, and the living creature with the face of a man says, Come! The irony is that while man symbolizes wisdom, reason, and the stewardship God entrusted to humanity, the black horse and its rider represent the exploitation of creations needs by mankind. The rider is seen holding a pair of scales, and a voice is heard saying, A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine. The scales symbolize measurement, rationing, and scarcity. In Johns day, a denarius was a days wage, so the announced prices of wheat and barley reveal a world where food is available yet barely affordable. A person could work all day and still barely survive. Meanwhile, the command not to harm the oil and wine suggests that while daily bread becomes burdensome for the poor, others comforts and luxuries remain protected. Human need becomes an opportunity for human greed. The black horse reveals that much of the worlds suffering stems from the corruption of human stewardship. Humanity was created in Gods image to cultivate the earth, care for one another, and administer justice for the good of mankind and the rest of creation. But when people seek dominion apart from God, the needs of the earth and those who live on it are twisted into opportunities for profit. When mankind is given over to itself, human beings exploit one another and anything else in creation that offers an opportunity to get ahead of their neighbor. Yet even here, the rider is not sovereign and does not ride beyond the authority of the Lamb. The Pale Horse: The Dominion of Death (vv. 7-8) The Lamb opens the fourth seal, and the creature with the face of an eagle says, Come! Consider what an eagle represents: swiftness, height, watchfulness, and the realm just above the earth. When John hears this single word, he sees a pale horse, and its rider is named Death, with Hades following him. While the eagle soars over the earth, the pale horse gathers what mans lust for conquest, readiness to kill, and greed producenamely, death. The horses color is disturbing. The Greek word translated pale (chlōros) denotes a greenish hue, suggesting the sickly color of decay, disease, and death. There is little left to the imagination with the name given to this rider. He is Death, and Hades follows behind him like a grave, collecting what death has taken. This is the world east of Eden, where sin has brought decay to everything God created good. Death follows kings and nations. Death follows war. Death follows hunger, poverty, disease, and the neglect of creation. Death is the final enemy, and no human kingdom, political system, technological advancement, or amount of wealth or power can ultimately escape it. But while the pale horse and its rider may terrify us, they are not sovereign. The Lamb is the One who breaks the seal. Death rides, yet the Lamb reigns. And all who belong to the Lamb are assured that in a world where the four horsemen are permitted to ride for a time, the One who opens the seals also says to His people: Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades (Rev. 1:1718). Conclusion What the apostle John and the seven churches likely found most reassuring in the vision of the four horsemen is the reminder that it is the LambChrist Himselfwho breaks each seal and permits the horsemen to ride. The power wielded by rulers and nations is granted by the One who sits sovereignly on the throne. Revelation 6:18 is given so that we might see the world as it really is and see the Lamb as He truly is. The horsemen do not ride because chaos reigns. They ride because the Lamb opens the seals. And when the four living creatures cry, Come! their summons echoes the prayer Jesus taught us to pray: Your kingdom come, your will be done... (Matt. 6:10). The Lamb gives mankind over to its wickedness, not because evil is sovereign, but because He is accomplishing His sovereign purposes until His rule and reign are fully manifested on earth as it is in heaven. The four horsemen reveal to those who belong to the Lamb that Gods kingdom is indeed coming. Gods kingdom comes not only through salvation, but also through judgment upon everything that ruins His creation.

A surge of prayer opens the door: we plead the blood over nations and ask for Pentecost every day, not as a slogan but as a lived rhythm. From that first wave, we move into the heart of the mission—why God responds to movement, how desire must be made holy, and where true spiritual authority actually comes from. We share stories of people God called while they were working—some faithful, some flawed—and trace the difference between gifts used for self and gifts surrendered for the kingdom.The conversation turns practical and sharp. We unpack submission as a hierarchy of purpose, not a pecking order of people. On your field, I follow you; on mine, you follow me. That exchange builds trust, kills ego, and multiplies impact. When we prefer one another, offense loses its grip, unity deepens, and teams move faster with less friction. We explore how unsubmitted ambition weakens ministry, why correction protects calling, and how a culture of mutual preference becomes a catalyst for revival at scale.Then the room becomes an altar. We pray for God to burn away impure motives and ambitions, to align our hearts with a kingdom moment rather than a personal moment. We ask for pure desires, pure motives, and the courage to decrease so Christ increases. The vision expands: a church so united and surrendered that billions can be added in this last hour. We close with a tangible step—gathering for prayer at Azusa Street—standing where past fire fell, asking God to do what only He can do through a people willing to be poured out.If this resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who's hungry for more, and leave a review telling us where God is stretching you right now.

What if entire cities were stopped by conviction and gym floors turned into altars? We open with raw intercession and move straight into frontline reports of people receiving the Holy Ghost and being baptized, then map out ten bold markers we believe are shaping the future of the church: sudden conversions in public spaces, miracles that honor Jesus and not personalities, and a holy reverence that cuts through our distractions and brings clarity back to our motives.We get candid about “kingdom wealth” and why resourcing follows assignment, not ego. That means planning for a God-sized vision even when the current budget looks small—paired with integrity, transparency, and a bias for people over projects. We also lean into a hard but hopeful truth: power and persecution often arrive together. Courage is the expectation, not comfort. That sets the stage for a practical, urgent push into digital evangelism. Phones and platforms are pulpits now; teaching, testimonies, and thoughtful content can travel faster and further than ever. Cut the fluff, lift up the gospel, and serve the global body with excellence.Unity becomes the spine of the whole conversation. Drawing on John 17, we talk about a oneness that rejects envy, silences petty divisions, and centers everything on kingdom purpose. A militant church isn't angry; it's anchored—loud with love, clear with truth, and ready for public faith matched by private holiness. Along the way, we point to fresh resources and ongoing mentorship designed to help you steward growth, disciple new believers, and build systems that can handle the weight of revival. If you've felt your vision outgrowing your means, or your timeline outpacing your tools, this is your nudge to pray boldly, plan bravely, and post with purpose.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with your team, and leave a review so more leaders can find it.

Burnout shouldn't be the price of faithfulness. We open with fresh stories from Tennessee, Great Britain, and Ireland, then get honest about a quiet crisis: leaders who preach healing while living exhausted. From there we anchor in Scripture—Exodus 15, Psalm 147, Jeremiah 33, Deuteronomy 28—to remind ourselves that God not only sends us, he sustains and heals us. The message is both pastoral and practical: exhaustion is not sacrifice; it's often self-reliance disguised as virtue.We walk through Jethro's blunt counsel to Moses as a map out of guaranteed burnout and into ministry longevity: delegate, share the load, and stop treating availability like righteousness. Sabbath emerges as a courageous act of trust, not a day off you fill with ministry planning. When we cease from building, we confess the truth—God runs the world. We unpack the Hebrew texture of rest that means settle, dwell secure, be at ease, and we connect it to Jesus' call to the weary: come, and receive restorative rest.Then we get very concrete. Protect a weekly Sabbath and put it on the calendar. Turn off devices, look your family in the eye, read together, walk, laugh, and let unhurried time repair what hurry has frayed. Honor sleep as sacred—eight hours as an act of faith, not weakness—because sleep guards judgment, regulates emotions, sharpens discernment, and fortifies health. You are not the Savior; Jesus is. You do not give the increase; Jesus does. That truth frees you to lead with clarity, finish your race strong, and model a life ordered by wisdom instead of adrenaline.If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs permission to rest.

John 11:32-37 Romans 12:15;Hebrews 4:15,16

What if the greater works Jesus promised aren't reserved for spiritual elites, but for anyone who chooses to align with Him today? We dive into the heart of apostolic ministry—relationship over performance—and show how abiding in love unlocks practical sensitivity to the Spirit. Through Scripture, stories, and simple frameworks, we explore how to see and hear what the Father is doing, then act with courage even when the room feels cold or resistant.We unpack John 14:12 and John 12:26 to reset motives and methods: serving is following, and following means being where He is. From there, we draw a sharp, freeing line between faith, hope, and love. Faith accesses what already exists in Christ—justification, peace, and grace—while hope expects what has not yet appeared. This shift changes how we approach spiritual gifts. Rather than “willing” outcomes into being, we agree with what God has already spoken and move in step with His voice. That's the difference between apostolic confidence and mystic hype: our evidence is anchored in a finished word, not in feelings or optics.We also bring it down to street level. The gift of faith flows from a settled conviction about God's authority and nearness. Prophecy becomes declaring what God said, not what the room suggests. When atmospheres oppose, we close our natural eyes to agree with what we know in the Spirit and speak the end from the beginning. Testimonies remind us that results follow obedience, not theatrics. For leaders, intercessors, and everyday believers hungry for authenticity, this is a roadmap: abide in love, attend to His voice, and act from faith in what already is while hoping for what will appear.If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs courage, subscribe for upcoming live Q&A and impartation sessions on the gifts, and leave a review to help more people discover the show.

Rejecting broken people isn't discernment, and it isn't holiness. It's just rejection dressed up as “being spiritual.” We speak plainly about what God expects from the church when a son or daughter fails: restoration, reconciliation, and a spirit of meekness that makes room instead of pushing people out.We also share what's ahead for the Los Angeles Holy Ghost Crusade (May 26 through June 1), including the growing team, the expectation for miracles, and the apostolic training we're building around altar work, unity in the partnership of faith, the gifts of the Spirit, and the fivefold ministry. We believe God is still filling people with the Holy Ghost, still saving, still healing, and still calling people into purpose.The conversation turns to the restoration of prodigals and wounded leaders, grounded in Scripture: Joel's promise that God restores lost years, David's confession that the Lord restores the soul, Jeremiah's assurance that God heals wounds, and Paul's command in Galatians 6:1 that the spiritual restore those overtaken in a fault. We lean into Psalm 139 to remind every listener there is no place you can fall where God's presence can't reach, and we go to Luke 15 to show the Father's heart that keeps searching “until he find it.”We close with a direct challenge: step away from gossip spaces, accusation forums, and anything that trains your spirit to speak death. Choose the King's way, tell the wounded the truth, and make room for the sons and daughters God still calls His own.

Burnout doesn't just drain your body, it reshapes your theology. When we start believing the kingdom can't move without our constant effort, exhaustion turns into a twisted badge of honor and we quietly accept anxiety, chronic fatigue, and stress as “normal” for ministry.We're coming to you from Tennessee after powerful prayer meetings and a week with leaders and young people who know how to pray. From there, we zoom out to a global burden: restoration. We believe God is restoring His kingdom work and the full operation of five-fold ministry, and that kind of multiplication demands leaders who can finish strong. That's why we speak plainly about a quiet crisis among ministers: many who carry healing for others are living paralyzed by exhaustion themselves.We walk through Scripture that confronts the culture of overwork and heals the inner life. Exodus 15:26 reminds us the Lord is our healer, and we pray for healing in mind, emotions, and body. Exodus 18 shows Moses on the edge of burnout until Jethro calls it out and points him toward delegation and wisdom. Then we get intensely practical about Sabbath rest and sleep: Shabbat means to cease, and it proves trust in God rather than self-reliance. Psalm 127 calls sleep a gift, and we talk about what sleep deprivation does to clarity, emotions, decision making, and long-term ministry longevity.If you're a pastor, leader, volunteer, or simply a believer carrying heavy responsibility, press play and take this as your permission to stop glorifying exhaustion.

By Peter T Burchard - There are spiritual sacrifices more valuable and more important than our financial offerings. This message explores Gods Word as to what sacrifices are important to Him.

A lot of people say they want the gifts of the Spirit, but what if what we really want is control, influence, and a ministry that “works”? We sit down with Pastor Richie Johnson for a focused, honest mentoring session on spiritual gifts, consecration, and why God refuses to be treated like a transaction. If you've ever chased prophecy, healing, miracles, tongues, or discernment and still felt empty, this conversation names the real issue and points to a better way.We talk about why spiritual gifts tests can miss the point, because the gifts are about the Source, not the spotlight. Pastor Johnson shares how his book Gifted For More was written, why so many believers are searching for answers, and what it looks like to measure success by obedience to Jesus rather than platform performance. We also dig into prayer and fasting with a needed correction: disciplines matter, but they can't be used to buy power. God wants us, not our leverage.From there, we get practical and uncomfortable in the best way. We explore consecration as being “full” of something, the gift of giving as a Spirit-led grace that funds end-time revival, and why God's delays are often mercy when motives are still being purified. You'll also hear testimony about open doors in Kenya and Uganda and how promises spoken in prayer can come to pass on God's timeline.If this helps you, subscribe, share it with a hungry believer, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Isaiah 28:9-14

Start with the heart, not the blueprint. That single idea reframes the way we think about ministry, leadership, and everyday service. We draw a clear line from Exodus 25–40 to our modern rhythms and show why God insists on consecration before construction and holiness before hustle. If you've ever felt pressure to produce results fast, this conversation offers a liberating pattern: finish what God spoke, honor the details, and let His presence do what your effort cannot.We walk through the tabernacle narrative as more than ancient architecture. It becomes a living template for alignment, where willing offerings precede precise instructions and community covenant holds the work together. The theme is consistent: God's kingdom is not chaotic; it is beautifully ordered, and that order protects intimacy rather than stifles it. Along the way, we take a sober look at shortcuts and substitutions—why they promise glory but leave us empty—and we celebrate the quiet victories of those who serve without applause.You'll hear how unity is both miracle and mandate, shaped by truth rather than trend. Reports from global ministry moments, including a surge of hunger and alignment in Brazil, remind us that when people rally around purpose, doors open and momentum builds. We also speak directly to volunteers and leaders carrying “small” assignments: ushers, translators, sound teams, intercessors, teachers. The tabernacle needed every piece, and so does the church. Your portion matters, and when it's joined in covenant, it becomes a place where God's presence rests.If you're ready to trade hurry for holiness and hype for alignment, this episode will steady your hands.

Is God's Word shaping your life or just informing it? Scripture is not simply an accessory to our lives; it's the foundation we build on and the tool God uses to shape us. As Pastor Daniel continues our “Built Different” series, he invites us to place ourselves under the authority of God's Word, allowing its wisdom to form our hearts and steer our daily choices.
