Kick off 2025 with Pastor Lester's inspiring message, "A Fresh Faith Start". In this episode, we dive into the basics of faith—what it is, why it pleases God, and how it connects heaven's power to your everyday life.

Over recent weeks, we've journeyed together through themes of Sabbath, waiting on the Lord, and consecration. Today, Martin O'Brien calls us deeper into this journey by exploring holiness. We're reminded that it's all too easy to drift away from God's presence, distracted by life's demands, causing us to lose our focus on Him. Holiness, however, brings us back into alignment, helping us fix our eyes on the Lord. Key Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Paul urges us to offer ourselves as "a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God." This is true worship, which leads to transformation, enabling us to discern God's will. Holiness, therefore, isn't about conformity to the world's ways but rather being transformed through God's renewing power. Why Holiness? As Hebrews 12:14 declares, "Without holiness, no one will see the Lord." This means we need to understand what it means to be holy. In Scripture, "holiness" (Greek: hagiasmos) speaks of being set apart, purified, and sanctified. Holiness is the natural outcome of consecration—living fully devoted to God, thinking as He thinks, loving what He loves, and setting His Word as the standard for our lives. Martin asked us to consider: What standards do we live by? Do we measure our actions and values against God's Word? A Call to Holy Living (1 Peter 1:13-16) In 1 Peter, we find practical steps toward living holy lives: 1. Think Clearly – Renew your mind (Romans 12:2) so transformation can occur. 2. Exercise Self-Control – Let Scripture guide your decisions, allowing Christ's words to shape your choices. 3. Look Forward – Keep your focus on Jesus, with hope set on His future revelation. 4. Obey God – Commit to living a life of obedience, grounded in faithfulness. 5. Be Holy in Everything – Strive to let holiness permeate every part of your life. Our Response God calls us to be holy because He is holy. So, are we ready to consecrate ourselves fully to Him? This may mean returning if we have drifted away or realigning our focus if distractions have crept in. Today is an invitation to renew our dedication, allowing holiness to reshape us, and to live a life that reflects the character and love of God. Questions for Reflection: - What do you measure your life against? - Have distractions taken your focus away from Jesus? - Are you willing to consecrate yourself anew, seeking God's holiness in every area of your life? In response, may we commit to the journey of holiness, setting our eyes firmly on Jesus, living as His holy, transformed people.

In this powerful episode, we dive into the topic of hopelessness—what it truly means, how it manifests in our lives, and where we can find lasting hope.Our key verse, Romans 15:13, reminds us that God is the source of true hope, joy, and peace. Without Him, all other sources of hope will fail. For unbelievers, hopelessness can feel inescapable, but even believers can find themselves wrestling with discontentment when they lose sight of God's promises.We explore alarming statistics about the rise of hopelessness, particularly among American teenage girls, and the tragic reality of suicide. According to the CDC, 3 in 5 teenage girls report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness. Suicide remains a leading cause of death, especially among men. But these stats don't have to define anyone's future.Through Scripture and personal stories, including the tragic loss of a dear friend, we discuss how discontentment leads to fear, anger, and ultimately despair. But there is hope—a hope found in Christ that is not wishful thinking but a confident assurance anchored in His promises.Join us as we reflect on verses like John 16:33, Hebrews 6:19, and Titus 2:13, which assure us of the living hope that comes through Jesus. No matter where you are or what you're going through, there is a hope that can save your soul.Listen now to be encouraged and reminded that true hope starts with Jesus.

Do you have a constant sense of well-being about who you are in Jesus, or do you judge yourself based on your performance as a believer? Grace gives us access to a greater awareness of God's presence that empowers us through every situation of life. Key Scripture: + Romans 5:17. For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one Jesus Christ.

Key Scripture: Romans 10:3-4 TLB 3 For they don't understand that Christ has died to make them right with God. Instead they are trying to make themselves good enough to gain God's favor by keeping the Jewish laws and customs, but that is not God's way of salvation. 4 They don't understand that Christ gives to those who trust in him everything they are trying to get by keeping his laws. He ends all of that. KEY POINT #1: GRACE ISN'T FAIRLUKE 15:24 NIV For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. LUKE 15:29 NLT but he replied, ‘All these years I've slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends. 30 Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!' LUKE 15:31 NLT “His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours. 32 We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!'” KEY POINT #2: GRACE IS A LICENSE TO WINROMANS 6:6-7 NLT  6 We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. 7 For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin.  ROMANS 3:20 NLT For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. KEY POINT #3. GRACE IS FOR YOU, NOT ABOUT YOUGalatians 2:21 NLT I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.

Key Scripture: Romans 12:1-2Key Thought: Living on mission simply requires you to align your every day life with Jesus' mission.“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2 ESV “So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.”  Romans 12:1-2 MSG Aligning Your Everyday Life With The Mission of Jesus 1. Place Your Life Before God“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” Romans 12:1 ESV 2. Identify Your Circles of Influence “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…” Romans 12:2 ESV3. Identify Your One’s In Those Circles“…that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2 ESV

Though sin has destroyed God's original intention for the world, it does not have the last word or the final say. God is unrelenting in His desire to restore all that He has created. He has gone to great lengths to redeem His creation and to reconcile us to Himself. Key Scripture: Romans 8:18-39

Message from August 18, 2019. Key Scripture: Romans 1:18-25

Key Scripture: Romans 12:14-21 If God is love, then why is there war? Pride, greed, jealousy and ambition have produced a world history saturated with war and strife. Even countries not currently “at war” suffer from wars of race, politics and more. The many evils of the heart have produced untold amounts of pain and suffering, and it will certainly get worse before it gets better. Jesus told us that the closer we get to the Day of God’s ultimate wrath against evil, wars and rumors of war will increase. Only when that Day comes will war be no more. Until then, we as the Church are called to resist the advancement of evil in our world and protect the sanctity of life. We are also called to make peace and to pursue understanding with all men. We’re called to set aside the prideful roots of contention and to set aside our own interests for the interests of God and others. With whom do you need to make peace today?

Sometimes we all feel disconnected from God or insignificant. Kristi shares how she was inspired to see the supernatural ways that God worked in Brother Andrew’s life. It’s true for all of us, including in the mundane things and in our brokenness. To see what God is doing we need to reflect prayerfully on our life story and share it with others. Key Scripture: Romans 8:11-15 (God wants to move in your life and do wonderful things. We can trade our “do-it-yourself life” for a new life, a resurrection life. We can live “adventurously expectant, greeting God with a child-like, ‘What’s next Papa?’”
