Message by Mike Fogg from Spring Church, recorded live August 2, 2026 at First Presbyterian Church of Bellingham.Peacemakers Reflect the Heart of God How does peacemaking produce a "harvest of righteousness"?Think of a recent conflict. How might these verses have changed your response?Who in your life demonstrates the kind of wisdom James describes? What can you learn from them?How does Jesus perfectly embody each quality listed in these verses?Is there any relationship in which you need to pursue peace?James 3:17-18
Jesus was clear about the fount or root or heart of the Kingdom of God, but today's churches are not. In this episode I explain what Jesus taught and contrast that with so many confusions at work in our contemporary setting. In both halves of the show—culture and theology—I work through the epistemology of Neo-Marxism. I compare and contrast that epistemology with what Jesus, speaking to Pilate, said was his own epistemological frame. (Epistemology: the construction of knowledge; how we know; the tools we use to know.) What happens to nations when one tweaks the foundation? What happens to souls and families when the commitments of knowledge get warped? I work through those answers. Importantly, I also help my listeners understand why the American Church, including far too many Evangelical churches, have been captured by Neo-Marxist ways of being and evalutating. Come think and laugh with me!
Episode 4194 │ August 2, 2026 God takes no pleasure in anyone's death. He said it in Ezekiel — the harshest book in the Old Testament. That is not the God most people were taught. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson and Brad Cummings continue the heart of God series with a deep read of Ezekiel 18 and 33 — the most scathing indictment in the Old Testament, written to a people practicing human sacrifice in the temple, where God nonetheless declares He takes no pleasure in anyone's death and pleads with them to repent and live — using it to dismantle the wrathful-God framing most American Christianity has inherited and replace it with the New Covenant reality that God is not disappointed in you because He has no illusion about you, and that His vow to write His law on your heart places the entire weight of the obligation on Him, not on your willpower or your performance. The episode moves through the distinction between transgression and iniquity, the definition of the kingdom as wherever the King is and the extension of His rule, the ecclesia as the Roman governance model Jesus deliberately inverted, the difference between mercy and grace to help, and Brad's practical framework for prayer — subordinating your list to His list, confessing the things that are actually bothering you, then going quiet so He can work. The episode closes with Brad's observation that God declares a thing in heaven and waits for someone on earth to receive and agree with it, because dominion on earth requires two witnesses — and every listener who comes into agreement with what God says about them becomes the amen that allows it to be established. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What is the difference between transgression and iniquity — and why does Brad argue that understanding the distinction between crossing a known boundary and carrying an internal twist toward sin changes how you approach confession, repentance, and the mercy that God freely promises in the same breath as His harshest judgment? What is the unshakable kingdom — and why does God shaking both heaven and earth in Hebrews 12 represent not punishment but the removal of everything temporal so that what He created, which is eternal, can remain and be fully revealed? What is the difference between mercy and grace to help — and why does Brad argue that most people stop at mercy, the forgiveness for when you have screwed up, without ever receiving the grace to help, which is the supernatural enablement of the Holy Spirit that means you do not have to keep needing mercy for the same thing again?

Episode 4189 │ July 26, 2026 Is trust a choice or a fruit? You cannot trust someone unless you're convinced they love you. Most Christians have never settled that about God. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson and Brad Cummings open with the single question that reframes everything: is trust a choice or a fruit — and Brad's answer, that trust is a fruit grown only in a relationship where you are convinced the other person loves you and seeks your highest good at all times, dismantles the entire Old Covenant performance framework that most American Christianity is still running on and replaces it with the New Covenant reality that God has no illusions about you, was never disappointed in you, and is not running a self-improvement program but a conforming-to-the-image-of-His-Son program that He promised to finish. The episode moves through Peter, James, and John as three distinct relational postures toward Christ — the director, the beloved, the warrior — and their presence at the Mount of Transfiguration as preparation not for doctrine but for vision; the two storms on the Sea of Galilee as a live diagnostic of what you actually believe about the heart of God; the definition of humility as simple agreement with God rather than self-deprecation; and Brad's definition of repentance as returning to the highest place from which you have fallen, not groveling at the bottom of it. The episode closes on Hebrews 12 — fixing your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross — and Brad's closing prayer that God would give every listener a vision of how He actually sees them, because as a man thinks in his heart, so is he, and the greatest transformation available is not discipline but the tractor beam of God's presence pulling you toward who He already knows you to be. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED Is trust a choice or a fruit — and why does Brad argue that you cannot manufacture trust toward God through willpower or decision-making, only receive it as a fruit grown in a relationship where you are genuinely convinced He loves you and seeks your highest good at all times, even on your worst day? What does the tone of voice you insert into Jesus saying "O you of little faith" reveal about what you actually believe about the heart of God — and why does Hebrews 1 make the good cop/bad cop reading of the Old versus New Testament theologically impossible? What is the difference between an Old Covenant response to sin and a New Covenant response — and why does Brad argue that going to God with your failure, asking Him what happened and inviting Him to fix it, produces transformation that decades of self-improvement, discipline, and performance never could?

Jonah is far more than a story about a fish. In this message, we explore the prophet behind the miracle—a man God used powerfully while still shaping his heart. From a backslidden Israel to a repentant Nineveh, discover a God who is compassionate, patient, and relentless in His desire to redeem. The book of Jonah ends with a question that echoes into our lives today: Has God's heart become our heart?

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation reveals the heart of God as seen through Israel and the Jewish people. The family reflect on how Israel is not merely a place to visit, but a living testimony of God's faithfulness, love, endurance, and purpose. They emphasize that God has worked something deep within the Jewish people through His Word, the Torah, and their continual devotion to it. The discussion also highlights that love, not doctrine alone, is the key to true oneness between Jews, Gentiles, and the Body of Christ. Show Notes The Heart of God Revealed Through Israel Ron opens by explaining that visiting Israel is not really about the places themselves, but about seeing the revelation of God and His people. He describes the Jewish people as a people who have endured centuries of oppression and still stand strong in the land of Israel. A Deep Love for the Jewish People Ken shares his love for the Jewish people and acknowledges that while he may not understand how everything will unfold, he believes the Lord is leading His Body into greater revelation. The Word Made Flesh Through the Torah Mike explains that the Jewish people's continual reading, singing, speaking, and living of the Torah has shaped who they are. He connects this to John 1, where Christ is revealed as the Word made flesh. Memorizing and Living the Word Debbie emphasizes the importance of memorizing Scripture so that the Word becomes part of a person's life and can be meditated on throughout the day. Training the Next Generation Ron and Debbie point to the children in Israel as evidence of the Word being lived out. They describe young people actively participating with passion and purpose because they are being trained in the way they should go. Love Over Doctrine Ron and Ken discuss how doctrine, when separated from love, can become destructive. They emphasize that the love of God is what must control, drive, and bring forth true oneness. Israel Becoming What God Created Her to Be Dale closes by describing Israel as a nation increasingly standing in the purpose God created for her. He points to Israel's strength, prosperity, and willingness to live out what God has given them. Key Quotes “You're missing everything if that's what you go for. You're really missing the revelation of God and His people.” “When you start getting a revelation of their heart, it's just, ‘Oh my God,' there's no people like that I've seen.” “I intently love the Jewish people with all of my heart.” “It's gotta come down to the heart. God's looking at our hearts.” “God and the Word are one. They're together.” “Then you can mutter it all day long. It becomes so much a part of who you are and your whole being.” “The proof of the pudding is in the kids.” “It's not doctrine. Doctrine's way down the ladder. It's heart.” “It's the love of God that controls us, the love of God that drives us.” “They're willing to take up their lives and live it.” Scriptural References God's Word Becoming Life Within His People These references point to the Word of God becoming living reality in the hearts and lives of those who receive it. John 1 (1–14)Deuteronomy 6 (4–9)Joshua 1 (8)Psalm 119 (11) Training the Next Generation These scriptures connect with the discussion about Jewish children being trained in the Word and participating in the life of God from a young age. Proverbs 22 (6)Deuteronomy 11 (18–21)Psalm 78 (4–7) God Looking at the Heart These passages support the emphasis that God is looking beyond outward doctrine or appearance and into the heart. 1 Samuel 16 (7)Jeremiah 17 (10)Matthew 5 (8) Love as the Foundation of Oneness These scriptures support the theme that love, not doctrine alone, is the key to true oneness in the Body of Christ. John 13 (34–35)John 17 (20–23)1 Corinthians 13 (1–3)Colossians 3 (14) God's Purpose for Israel These references connect with the discussion of Israel standing in God's purpose and becoming what He created her to be. Genesis 12 (1–3)Isaiah 49 (3)Jeremiah 31 (35–37)Romans 11 (25–29) Takeaway The heart of God is being revealed through Israel, not simply through its...

Stasi invites Blaine Eldredge, our Director of Spiritual Formation at Wild at Heart, for a conversation about recapturing beauty—not the exhausting beauty our culture demands, but the deeply personal beauty that originates in the heart of God. Together they explore how Jesus reveals a beauty that is vulnerable, relational, and inviting; a beauty that isn't based on performance, but draws us into His love. Come and rediscover the beauty that moves our hearts toward Him. This is Part 1 of a 2-part conversation.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Genesis 2:18 (NIV) – The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.

This week, Pastor John Durham kicked off our new sermon series All Sufficient with a message on God's grace. Through Ephesians 2 and Exodus 34, John reminded us that grace is at the very heart of God's character, lavishing His love and mercy on those who could never earn it. He challenged us to respond to this grace with humility, worship, gratitude, and a life transformed by the saving work of Christ.
