They explore the theological foundations of service, its personal applications, and the challenges faced in embodying this rhythm in daily life. The conversation emphasizes that serving is not just a task but a way of being that shapes our souls and reflects the love of God. The discussion also highlights the importance of serving others, particularly in our homes, and addresses the false selves that can hinder our ability to serve authentically. In this conversation, the speakers explore the themes of service, humility, and the challenges of balancing personal ambition with the act of serving others. They discuss the competitive nature of the workplace and how serving can help strip away the false self.

Personal experiences in serving highlight the impact of hospitality and outreach efforts in the community.

Jesus said, “the harvest is ready, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that he would send laborers.” Notice that Jesus does not tell us to pray for the harvest–it's ready–he tells us to pray for the church which seems to be too apathetic, ill equipped, or insecure to go out and proclaim the gospel. Because Christ died for the lost, Inspire Church should passionately pursue them and proclaim the good news. This is the primary mission of the church. In this episode we want to paint a picture of what it looks like to “tell the story and to live it out” in our own lives as we seek to become a church that lives in rhythms of witness. Panelists Name: Philip Muela & Roger Pethybridge Pastor Phillip Lee (Senior Pastor of Hope Community Church)

The motivation behind everything that we do at Inspire Church is the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is why our mission statement begins with the phrase, "We exist for the gospel to inspire" rhythms of life and movements of renewal. Everything that we do is in response to the goodness of God in Christ Jesus. In this episode, we want to paint a picture of what it looks like to "enjoy grace" in our own lives and the lives of our churches.

This week we launch a new series entitled, “A Prophetic Christmas.” Pastor Mike Kai references how prophesy is foundational to Christmas and how over 300 prophecies on the first coming of Jesus Christ have accurately come true. God orchestrates everything through a biblical forerunner who proclaims the coming of the Messiah. It's another great example of God's intervention in the story of John the Baptist.

Pastor Mike Kai has a word for everyone when telling an intriguing story from 2 Kings 5 about a powerful, decorated commander in the Aramean army named Naaman, who was afflicted with leprosy. The journey to get healed wasn't easy and was met with tribulation and an inhospitable reception by Elisha. However, because he learned to exhibit humble obedience, he experienced the most miraculous moment in his life and was completely healed. Are you believing an incredible God-led miracle is waiting for you? Pastor DJ provides valuable life lessons on “Clearing the Path to Our Miracle with Humility,” and how to recognize and remove the “Obstacles Holding You Back.” We may not be covered with leprosy, but we do have sin we cannot wash away on our own. Get ready for a transformation from the inside out and don't miss the opportunity to be obedient. It takes commitment and remember faith that doesn't lead to obedience isn't faith at all.

As we continue in the “Old School” series, Pastor Mike Kai ponders if you've ever received a Godly revelation concerning spiritual discernment and authority during your walk with the Lord. Scripture says that a great Aramean army was struck with blindness by the Lord, so they could be deceptively led into Samaria. Once there, the Lord was asked to reopen their eyes so they would realize how they had been entrapped. Pastor Mike uses this story to illustrate our self-reflection on “How Do You Know When You're Living with Eyes Wide Open?” History is replete with misinformation and misdirection. However, one thing stands absolute and that is God's covenant He made with the people of Israel. Mike gives context to the Middle East crisis and how to biblically resolve the conflict that may exist within us.

This week Pastor Mike Kai continues in the “Old School” series emphasizing Elisha and the God-given double portion of blessings on his life. Elisha's authoritative walk is possible because of the enduring generational faithfulness to God. Consider the story of Jericho with its fortified walls, and the specific instructions God commanded of Israel's children. We serve the God who brought down those walls and purified the water within. God is willing and capable of breaking down every wall you have obstructing your personal life. Give Him total access to the sources creating those hurtful areas and allow Him to cleanse your heart and completely heal you. This message will provide you with fail-safe lessons on “How Do We Restore Our Hearts and Lives Back to God.” Make turning to God your first, not your last option. Jesus Christ is the only solution!

While we remain mindful of honoring and respecting ongoing local and worldly events, this week we resume our “Old School” message series with Pastor Mike Kai speaking on the lives of Elijah and Elisha. He details how they embody life lessons on character traits necessary within us during our prophetic journey with the Lord -- loyalty, longevity, and faithfulness. One thing every Christian, in every church, should desire is the double portion blessing of God in our lives and there's only one way to get it. You need to follow Jesus all the way. Pastor Mike takes us on an adventure on how we need to properly position ourselves by metaphorically visiting the three places like Elijah. Make the decision to trust God and begin to realize your full potential. Remember that delayed obedience is not obedience at all.   If you made a decision to follow Jesus, we'd love to take the journey with you!

Our series continues with Pastor Lisa Kai delivering this week's message as only she can in her unique and relatable way. We are all called upon to pray and rise up during our spiritual journey.
