Audio taken from the live recording "The Most Mysterious Man in the Bible! Melchizedek - Priest, King or Christ?" - https://youtu.be/l90Pw7X0CsAThroughout church history, there has always been dialogue concerning the true identity of a mystery man identified both in the Old Testament and New Testament. In our time together today, I would like to discuss this biblical character, by the name of Melchizedek, that I refer to as, “the most mysterious man in the Bible.”This man of ambiguity, appears only briefly in Scripture.Is he merely a human type, a literary-theological figure, or is he a pre-incarnate manifestation of the Son?1 - Where do we find Melchizedek in the Bible?2 - What are the common views on the mystery of Melchizedek?3 - Was Melchizedek actually Christ?Key Scriptures used in today's teaching: Genesis 14:17-20Other Scriptures referenced: Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5-7; Hebrews 13:2Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

Welcome to Week 2 of the God's Perfect Timing devotional. Advent begins long before Bethlehem. In this first week of Advent, we slow down and look at the earliest promises God spoke over a weary world. Before shepherds heard the angels sing, before Mary received her news, God was already preparing a story of redemption. If your heart feels stretched thin or you're carrying long-standing prayers, these passages offer steady hope. We'll take a gentle walk through Genesis, Isaiah, and Luke to see how God speaks into fear, meets His people in their longing, and invites us to trust His timing.

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thess. 5:18, NKJV) In this message, Pastor Andrew unpacks what it really means to live with a spirit of thanksgiving — not just one week in November, but every day of the believer's life. Scripture calls us to something far deeper than seasonal gratitude: a lifestyle where thanksgiving becomes the posture of our hearts, no matter what is happening around us. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Colossians 3:15–17; 4:2, Ephesians 5:19–20, Habakkuk 3:17–18, and Jonah 2, we explore:

This message challenges us to examine where our treasure truly lies and whether God holds the preeminent place in every area of our lives. Drawing from Matthew 6:21, we're reminded that where our treasure is, there our heart will be also. The sermon walks us through the biblical foundation of generosity, starting with Cain and Abel's offerings in Genesis, where we see that God desires our first and best, not our leftovers. Abel brought the firstborn of his flock in faith, while Cain brought what remained after the harvest. This principle echoes throughout Scripture: God gave first, loved first, and came first. Through Abraham's encounter with Melchizedek and the Old Testament practice of tithing, we see a consistent theme that giving isn't about God needing our resources, but about our hearts being aligned with His. The most powerful insight comes from recognizing that we are merely stewards of what belongs to God anyway. As Psalm 24:1 declares, the earth is the Lord's and everything in it. When we grasp that every breath we take, every dollar we earn, and every blessing we receive comes from Him, giving becomes an act of worship and gratitude rather than obligation. The question isn't whether God needs our money, but whether we trust Him enough to put Him first in all things.**Sermon Notes:****Introduction:**- Pastor Rick introduces himself and mentions the church's journey through the book of Romans.- He shares an impactful experience from a conference in Jacksonville, Florida, led by Pastor Joby Martin and Church of 1122.**Main Themes:**- **Culture of Generosity:** Pastor Rick felt corrected and inspired regarding his approach to giving.- **Importance of Giving:** Emphasis on giving as a reflection of gratitude and faith rather than obligation.**Key Scriptures:**- **Colossians 1:15-18:** Jesus is the image of the invisible God, preeminent in all things, emphasizing His centrality.- **Psalm 24:1:** Everything belongs to God; all creation and ownership are His.- **Matthew 6:19-21:** Storing treasures in heaven; where your treasure is, there your heart will be.- **1 Timothy 6:6-10:** Warning against the love of money and its destructive potential.**Principles of Giving:**- God wants the first and best of what we have as a demonstration of our faith, not leftovers (Genesis 4: Cain and Abel).- The story of Abraham and Melchizedek (Genesis 14) as an example of purposeful giving.- **Old Testament Tithe:** Explained as giving the first 10% of one's earnings for the support of the temple and community (Malachi 3).**New Testament Insights:**- **Matthew 23:23:** Jesus acknowledges the importance of tithing but prioritizes justice, mercy, and faith.- **New Testament Giving Principles (1 Corinthians 16):** Giving should be periodic, personal, planned, proportionate, and plentiful.**Pastor Rick's Personal Reflection:**- Rick shares his own journey in understanding and practicing generosity, emphasizing obedience and faithfulness in giving.**Conclusion:**- The ultimate model of giving is Jesus, who gave everything for humanity, prompting us to mirror that generosity in our lives.**Practical Applications:**1. **Evaluate Priorities:** Reflect on where your financial resources go, as it indicates where your heart truly lies.2. **Plan Your Giving:** Set a regular time to tithe or give, ensuring it is a thoughtful and purposeful act, not an afterthought.3. **Start Small if Necessary:** If a full tithe is daunting, begin with a smaller, consistent amount, and increase as your faith grows.4. **Teach Generosity:** Share the principle of giving with your family, emphasizing its importance and spiritual basis.**Discussion Questions:**1. How does recognizing God's ownership of everything change your perspective on your resources?2. In what ways can you ensure that your giving is from a place of gratitude and not obligation?3. Reflect on the principle "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." What does this reveal about your current heart posture?4. What steps can you take to make Jesus preeminent in all areas of your life, including your finances?5. Share a personal experience where you felt called to give. What was the impact of your obedience?By exploring these concepts, the sermon encourages personal reflection and practical steps toward embodying a culture of generosity in personal and community life.

The world disciples us to crave more—more money, more status, more security. But God calls His people to something radically different: contentment shaped by the character of Christ. This week, Pastor Nathan teaches from 1 Timothy 6 and throughout Scripture that the Lord—not our job, not the government, not our hustle—is the true source of all provision. Because God is generous and wise, His people must be shrewd stewards and radically generous.

Many people ask how to “incorporate faith into business,” but in this episode, Sam shares a foundational truth: we don't add faith to our work, we bring our work into our faith. We are not business owners who love God. We are children of God who happen to own businesses. Sam encourages listeners to see their identity as sons and daughters first, remembering that the Holy Spirit doesn't clock out when we clock in. Our work becomes a place to reflect God's love, character, and integrity, not a place to use Christianity as a marketing strategy. Instead of trying to put God into our business, we're called to simply live as who we already are , people filled with the Spirit of God, wherever we go. Key Scriptures: •1 John 3:1 •Galatians 2:20 •Colossians 3:23–24 •John 13:35 •1 Corinthians 3:6–7

In today's lesson from 1 Samuel 15, we step into a crucial the moment in Biblical history when God rejects Saul as king. What begins as a clear command from God quickly becomes a portrait of how subtle and dangerous self-deception can be. We walk through the centuries-long background behind God's judgment on Amalek, tracing the story from Israel's wilderness years all the way to Saul's battlefield. Against that backdrop, Saul's response becomes even more striking: instead of obeying completely, he chooses selective obedience, keeping what looked valuable and justifying it with spiritual language. As the story unfolds, we see how easily the human heart twists God's Word. Saul reshapes God's command, redefines what obedience means, and convinces himself he has done exactly what God asked—while standing surrounded by the very evidence of his disobedience. Samuel exposes this with the piercing truth that God is not impressed by outward acts of worship that are used to cover inward rebellion. The famous line, “To obey is better than sacrifice,” becomes the anchor of the entire passage, reminding us that God desires submission more than spiritual performance. This chapter confronts us with the danger of consulting our own reasoning instead of trusting God's clear commands. Saul trusted his feelings, his logic, and his desires, elevating them to the level of God's authority. That decision becomes a form of idolatry and a warning to us: partial obedience is not obedience at all. Yet the story doesn't end in despair. It ultimately points us toward a better King—the one who faced the hardest command ever given and still prayed, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” If you've ever struggled with compromise, justification, or adjusting God's standards to fit your own, this lesson offers both a challenge and a hope. It calls us to lay down our reinterpretations and follow the example of Christ with a heart fully surrendered to God.

Send us a textIn this episode, we follow the remarkable story of the Ark of the Covenant's return from Philistine captivity — a moment that revealed both the foolishness of human superstition and the sovereignty of God. Through this ancient account, we discover a simple truth: God will not be mocked, and what is holy must be treated as holy.But the lesson doesn't stop in 1 Samuel. We can also trace a parallel to the New Testament church at Corinth, where Paul warns believers not to dishonour the Lord's Table. What connects these two moments — separated by a thousand years — is the same call to reverence, humility, and love in the presence of a holy God.Join us as we explore:Why the Philistines' “experiment” revealed their ignorance of true worship.How Israel's curiosity led to disaster — and what it teaches us about reverence.The striking parallel between the Ark and the Lord's Supper.What it means today to honor Christ in our worship and relationships.This is a call to remember that holiness is not a relic of the past — it is the heartbeat of a life lived with God.Key Scriptures:1 Samuel 6:1–21; & 1 Corinthians 11:17–34Catch On Fire PodcastsThis channel does a deep dive into the scriptures so as to teach what it means to be...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

You've been praying for clarity… but the real battle isn't around you — it's inside your ears. Trauma has a way of becoming a soundtrack: a quiet, constant melody that tells you you're not enough, you're not loved, you're not chosen. And if you don't confront it, you'll confuse the noise of your past with the voice of your Father. In this message, you'll learn how to recognize the wrong soundtrack, silence the lies, and finally hear God's voice with confidence, peace, and identity. God calls you royal. Trauma calls you broken. This message shows you how to choose the right voice. Key Scriptures: 1 Peter 2:9, Genesis 2–3, Philippians 4:6–7

Continuing our new series “Kingdom Life”, today Pastor Ira talks about Kingdom Revival. You can be right in the religious center of the world and God can start a personal revival in your life. His love is indescribable, His grace unmeasurable, and His healing unstoppable. Kingdom Revival is all about YOUR PERSONAL REVIVAL. Key Scriptures: 2 Kings 22:1–5, 8-12, 18-20, Joel 2:13, 2 Kings 23:1–3, 15-16, 25, Hosea 10:12, Luke 19:41–44 

Have you ever faced a challenge that felt impossible — a situation so overwhelming that fear seemed louder than your faith? In this message, Pastor Steven Staton walks us through 1 Samuel 17 and reminds us that the story of David and Goliath is not ultimately about our strength, our courage, or “facing our giants.” It's about God's glory, God's power, and God's Champion.While Israel trembled before Goliath, God raised up an unlikely deliverer in David — a shepherd boy armed not with skill or size, but with confidence in the Lord. Yet this moment points to something far greater: Jesus, the true and better David, who stepped onto the battlefield of sin and death and won the victory we never could.This message will challenge and encourage you to shift your focus from the size of your battles to the greatness of your God. You'll discover why we don't fight for victory but from victory — because our Champion has already won.Key Scriptures:1 Samuel 17Colossians 2:13–151 John 4:4Watch, reflect, and share:• Desire God's glory above everything else.• Trust God's power over every challenge.• Look to Jesus — the ultimate Champion who never leaves you.

True generosity doesn't begin with guilt—it begins with grace. In this message, Pastor Jimmy reminds us that generosity is the overflow of God's unmerited favor. When we understand that every breath, gift, and resource comes from Him, giving becomes a joy, not a burden. From 2 Corinthians 8–9, we see the Macedonian believers give with joy amid poverty because they first gave themselves to the Lord. Grace came down—and generosity flowed out.

When you pray in tongues, you're not speaking confusion — you're speaking alignment. In this powerful message, Ps Paul unpacks the supernatural connection between praying in the Spirit and walking in divine provision, breakthrough, and bold faith.Discover how praying in tongues positions you in God's flow, strengthens your inner man, and releases the power of the Holy Spirit into every area of your life — from your finances to your relationships.

A declining spirit of gratitude is the first warning light that a believer's heart is slipping. Looking to the scriptures, we examine God's clear command to give thanks in everything (1 Thess. 5:18), trace the deadly spiral that begins with ingratitude (Rom. 1:21), and learn how to thank God and the saints around us.Key Scriptures:1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “In every thing give thanks…”Colossians 3:15–17 – Peace ruling, Word dwelling, every act with thanksgiving.Romans 1:21–22 – “Neither were thankful…”2 Timothy 3:2 – “Unthankful” in the last-days list.1 Thessalonians 5:12–13, 18 – Esteem leaders, be at peace, give thanks.Ephesians 1:3 – All spiritual blessings in heavenly places.Psalm 100:4–5 – Israel's thanksgiving (contextual contrast).3-Day Gratitude Reset ChallengeStart any day—finish strong before turkey day!Day 1 (Eph. 5:20): List & read aloud 10 specific spiritual blessings in Christ.Day 2 (Phil. 4:6): Swap every complaint for one thanksgiving prayer.Day 3 (Col. 3:17): Perform one act of service; thank God by name for that person.

Have you ever felt like God was silent, or that your waiting season had no purpose? In this message, Pastor Steven Staton reminds us that God's silence never means His absence. Through the story of David's anointing in 1 Samuel 16, we discover that God is always working — even in the waiting.Before David ever held a crown, he learned faithfulness in the pasture. While others overlooked him, God was shaping his heart to lead His people. In the same way, God uses our seasons of obscurity, monotony, and preparation to form in us the character needed for what's next.This message will challenge and encourage you to stay faithful where you are, to trust God's timing, and to worship while you wait. The pasture may feel hidden, but it's where God does His best work.Key Scriptures:1 Samuel 16:1–13Psalm 13Romans 5:3–4Main Takeaway:Don't mistake God's silence for His absence — He is working in your waiting.Watch, reflect, and share:God chooses the unlikely to accomplish His purposes.Character is greater than charisma.Faithfulness in small things prepares you for greater things.Learn more about the Real Hope Christmas Party outreach at bellshoals.com/realhopechristmas.

What if courage doesn't come from standing alone—but from standing together?In this message from Esther 4:13–17, our Discipleship Director, Matt Fucarino, teaches that courage shows up in community. When Esther faced an impossible choice—to risk her life before the king or remain silent—she didn't do it alone. God surrounded her with Mordecai and an entire community fasting and praying for her.Even though God's name isn't mentioned once in Esther's story, His presence is everywhere. The same is true for us—His grace meets us right where we are, and His people help us stand when life feels overwhelming.In this sermon, you'll learn:How courage grows when we walk with othersWhy vulnerability and community go hand in handHow God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary thingsWhy Jesus is the true and better Esther—who risked it all for our rescueWhat it means to find hope, healing, and strength togetherKey Scriptures:- Esther 4:13–17 — “For such a time as this.”- Philippians 3:20 — “We are citizens of heaven.”- 2 Corinthians 5:20 — “We are Christ's ambassadors.”- Luke 9:23 — “Take up your cross daily and follow Me.”Search Keywords:Esther sermon, courage and community, for such a time as this, Pastor Matt Huff, TNLC sermons, forgotten promises series, finding courage in hard times, God's purpose in pain, faith and friendship, biblical communityYou might feel far from home—but God has placed you exactly where you can make the biggest difference.Like, Subscribe, and share this message with someone who needs the courage to trust God and lean on community.

God calls us to move from fear to faith. Perfect love casts out fear and leads us to “enter in” to His promises today—not someday.Key Scriptures (quick notes)Deuteronomy 1:6–8 — Break camp; go take possessionDeuteronomy 1:17–18 — Do not fear people; judgment is God'sNumbers 13–14 — Giants vs. faith; Joshua and Caleb believeProverbs 29:25 — Fear of man is a snare1 John 4:18 — Perfect love casts out fear2 Timothy 1:7 — God did not give a spirit of fear2 Corinthians 10:4–5 — Pull down strongholds; cast down false reasoningsEphesians 6:12 — Our wrestle is not against blood and fleshIsaiah 6:1–5 — From horizontal to vertical visionEzekiel 28:15–19 — Lucifer's fall; the start of two willsJohn 1:3; Colossians 1:16 — Christ the CreatorZephaniah 3:17 — The Father rests in His loveRevelation 3:20 — Fellowship: He stands and knocksMatthew 11:28–30 — Take My yoke; find restHebrews 4:1–10 — Enter His restPsalm 103:12; Romans 6:1–6 — Sins removed; old self crucifiedPhilippians 2:12–13 — Work out what God works in1 Peter 5:7 — Cast all care on HimZechariah 4:10 — Do not despise small thingsJob 36:7 — His eye never leaves the righteousThemes“You've stayed long enough—break camp and advance.”Leadership under pressure: judge without partiality; do not fear people.The real fight is with fear-fed reasoning, not “giants.”Two wills, two forces: fear or love; we cannot serve two masters.Perfect love actively expels fear as we submit our will.Entering promises brings new battles—and deeper rest.Fellowship restores perspective: from horizontal worry to vertical worship.God never violates our will; He waits to “grace us out” when we cry, “Help!”What We LearnedFear is a spirit that snares; love is God's active energy that frees.Strongholds form where our will won't submit; truth pulls them down.Rest = transferring our full weight to Christ (like sitting without clenching).Joshua and Caleb model faith that sees promises bigger than giants.Chastening is loving correction, not payback; Calvary settled the debt.Discussion StartersWhere have we believed “giants” more than God's promises?What does “taking His yoke” look like in our schedule this week?Which stronghold thought keeps circling, and what truth replaces it?

We are called to move forward by faith, not fear. God has already given us the land—His promises and His rest—and invites us to enter in through trust, surrender, and submission of our will. Fear is the spirit that opposes love, but perfect love casts it out.Key Scriptures (mentioned or read)Deuteronomy 1 Proverbs 29:25 Ezekiel 28 Isaiah 6 1 John 4:18 2 Timothy 1:7 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 Ephesians 6:12 Romans 7 Matthew 6:24 Philippians 2:12–13 Hebrews 12 Revelation 3:20 Zechariah 4:10ThemesFaith Over Fear — God calls us to advance into His promises despite giants and obstacles. Fear paralyzes; faith acts on divine certainty.The Will of God — From creation there was one will; rebellion created two. Our rest comes when our will aligns with His.The Origin of Fear — Fear is not from God; it's a demonic spirit that seeks to snare believers and oppose divine love.Perfect Love Casts Out Fear — Experiencing God's completed love removes torment and brings rest to the soul.The Two Masters — We cannot serve both love and fear, light and darkness. Submission of the will brings freedom.Rest in Christ — Just as Israel entered the Promised Land, we enter rest by accepting our death and resurrection with Christ.The Yoke of Love — The neck represents the will; taking Christ's yoke keeps us close and teaches us gentle submission.Spiritual Warfare — Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against fear-based lies that oppose truth.Growth Through Grace — Chastisement and correction are acts of love; God lovingly trains us toward maturity.Dependence and Worship — Trust is worship. To rest in Him is faith in action—just as sitting without tension is an act of trust.What We LearnedGod's promises are sure; fear blinds us from entering into them.Fear's root is pride—self-reliance instead of God-dependence.Love's root is humility—resting in what Christ has already finished.Our growth experience depends on submission of the will, not striving.God never violates our will but waits to be gracious when we call for help.Each trial is designed to replace fear with faith and self-effort with rest.Entering God's rest requires embracing our death with Christ, not just His death for us.The Spirit reveals truth gently, leading us into light and casting out darkness.Reflection QuestionWhere have we allowed fear to dictate our steps, and how can we let love lead us forward into God's promises?

Audio taken from the live video recording "Is Purgatory Real? What the Bible Actually Says" - https://youtu.be/p4FbruEOc8QPurgatory has long been a debated concept within Christianity. Some believe it's a real place of purification after death; others see it as a human tradition without biblical foundation. In this message, we'll search the Scriptures to discern whether purgatory is divine truth or simply church tradition.In today's study, we will go over these three questions:1 - What is purgatory?2 - Why do people believe in purgatory?3 - What does the Bible say about purgatory?Key Scriptures for today's teaching: 1 Corinthians 3:13-15Other Scriptures in this study: 1 John 1:7; Romans 4:5; Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 10:14; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 3:20Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know! Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

In this message, we look at the story of Saul—the man who looked like everything Israel wanted in a king. He was tall, strong, impressive, and came from a wealthy family. But beneath the surface, his heart was already being eaten away by hidden flaws—spiritual neglect, insecurity, pride, and disobedience. Through Saul's story in 1 Samuel 9, we learn a sobering truth: it's not the big failures that destroy us, but the small compromises we ignore. Like termites behind a wall, little sins—small lies, pride, laziness, selfishness—slowly hollow out our spiritual foundation until everything collapses. This lesson challenges us to “sweat the small stuff”—to pay attention to the subtle warnings, the quiet compromises, the habits and attitudes that weaken our walk with God. It's a call to humility, repentance, and spiritual awareness before it's too late. God doesn't want us standing in the ruins of what could have been. He wants to rebuild us from the inside out. When we face our hidden sins and let Him restore us, what once was rotting can become new again.

You are gifted by God! What are we supposed to do with these gifts? Pastor Steven teaches on abandoning fear, timidity, and comparison; and confidently embracing our God-given gifts and putting them to work for His purposes in serving one another.

In this final message of our Blessed to be a Blessing series, Pastor Josh Blair teaches on God's perspective of money — not as something to fear or worship, but as a tool that can be used to advance His Kingdom. This week's sermon dives deep into biblical financial principles, showing how generosity, stewardship, and trust in God lead to lasting peace and purpose. From the dangers of misplaced trust in wealth to the freedom that comes from faithful tithing, this message challenges us to invite God into our finances and to live with financial peace and generosity.

What if the place you feel “stuck” is exactly where God wants to shape you?In this message, Pastor Clayton teaches from Jeremiah 29, where God's people are told to build, plant, pray, and prosper—not in comfort, but in exile.

Audio taken from the live recording "Does the 'Trump Peace Agreement' Fulfill the Antichrist' Prophecy?" - https://youtu.be/jFoHA7w2qZUThere are few topics that stimulate more discussion among students of the Bible, and end-time prophecy more than the prophecies regarding the coming Antichrist, his 7 year peace treaty with Israel, and the coming tribulation.On October 13th, 2025, much of the world witnessed the signing of the “Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity”, intended to end the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, and usher in regional stability after a prolonged brutal war that began on October 7th, 2023.With the ink barely dry, this recent “Peace Treaty” mediated by the President of the United States, has prompted many to ask if this historic Middle East moment is the fulfillment of Daniel's ancient prediction of the seven-year treaty that will usher in the tribulation? In this study, we will answer 3 questions:1 - Could President Donald Trump Become The Antichrist?2 - What Is The Biblical Criteria Identifying The Antichrist's Treaty?3 - How Should Christians Navigate End-Time Speculation?Key Scriptures for today's teaching: Daniel 9:24-27Other Scriptures in this study: Daniel 7:8; Revelation 13:13-14; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 13:16-18; Luke 12:39-40; Matthew 24:42; Matthew 24:11-13; Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 21:34-36; 2 Peter 3:13-15If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know! Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week. Connect with Tiff Shuttlesworth:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LostLambAssociation/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffshuttlesworth/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tiffshuttleswor Learn more about my ministry: https://lostlamb.org/ Learn more about my ministry in Canada: https://www.lostlamb.ca

What if the biggest prison we live in isn't our past, but our memory of it? Graham Cooke delivers a direct prophetic word about the present-tense nature of transformation. Through the contrast between Caleb's giant-killer faith and the ten spies' grasshopper mentality, we understand how perception determines possession in the Kingdom. This segment culminates in prophetic activation and prayers for divine acceleration.Key Scriptures:2 Corinthians 5:17. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."Numbers 13:33. "We saw the giants... and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."Galatians 2:20. "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."Want to explore more?

Before David fell publicly, he drifted privately. His story reminds us that sin rarely happens in a single moment—it happens through a series of unchecked decisions, quiet compromises, and subtle desires that pull our hearts away from God. In Week 5 of The Life of David, Pastor Dustin Woodward takes us into one of the most pivotal chapters in David's life: the moment temptation turned into tragedy. What began as a glance became deception, a decision, and ultimately, destruction. But even in David's darkest chapter, God's grace wasn't finished writing his story. Temptation isn't just about weakness—it's about where we've placed our loyalty. Will we trust God's will, or satisfy self-will? Through Scripture and honest reflection, Pastor Dustin shows us how temptation takes root, why desire can't be controlled outside of God's design, and how conviction opens the door to restoration. Key Scriptures: 2 Samuel 11 | James 1:14–15 | Titus 2:11–14 In this message, you'll discover: How small moments of compromise lead to life-changing consequences The difference between temptation and participation Why deception grows when we negotiate with sin instead of confronting it How conviction, not condemnation, leads to freedom and restoration The transforming power of grace that can redeem any failure If you've ever felt trapped by temptation or weighed down by regret, this message is for you. God's grace meets us not at the end of our story, but right in the middle of our failure.

Everyone loves God's promises—but have you read the fine print?In this first week of our new series, Forgotten Promises, Pastor Clayton Bell preaches from Deuteronomy 28–30, where God lays out the terms and conditions of His covenant with His people. Before Israel ever faced exile, God had already told them exactly what would happen—blessings for obedience, and consequences for rebellion.This message reminds us that faith isn't built on vague feelings or spiritual shortcuts. God invites us into a covenant relationship on His terms—not ours. The question is: will we surrender to His way, or keep trying to rewrite the agreement?In this sermon, you'll learn:Why God's promises always come with purpose and responsibility- How ignoring God's terms leads to spiritual exile- Why grace doesn't cancel obedience—it empowers it- How God's patience reveals His mercy, not weakness- What it really means to “choose life” and follow Him completely Key Scriptures:- Deuteronomy 28:1–2 — “If you fully obey the Lord your God…”- Deuteronomy 28:15 — “If you refuse to listen…”- 2 Kings 17:7–15 — Israel's rebellion and God's justice- Deuteronomy 30:19–20 — “Choose life, so that you and your descendants might live.”Search Keywords:Forgotten Promises sermon series, Deuteronomy 28 sermon, obedience and blessing, covenant with God, terms and conditions apply sermon, living by God's word, choosing life, faith and obedience, Old Testament covenantGod doesn't hide the terms—He invites us to trust Him fully.

What does it mean to truly worship God? In this message from our We Believe series, Brian Ming unpacks what true godly worship looks like—not on our terms, but on God's.Worship isn't about preference or performance; it's about posture. God is seeking worshipers who will worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23–24). True worship starts with understanding who God is—God is love (1 John 4:8)—and responds with a life of surrender, expression, and sacrifice.From Abel's offering to David's costly worship, we're reminded that real worship costs something. It's more than a song; it's obedience, humility, and a heart fully given to God.Join us as we rediscover the power of genuine worship—the kind that moves beyond the stage and fills the room, that lifts hands, raises voices, and gives glory back to the One who deserves it all.

When does a promise from God actually become real - is it when we see it happen, or when we believe it's already done? Graham explores how prophetic words function like divine seeds that must be cultivated through declaration and belief. Through his personal journey from writing letters to becoming a prolific author, we learn that prophecy is fulfilled not at the moment of manifestation, but at the moment of faith.**Key Scriptures:**- 2 Corinthians 1:20. "For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us."- Isaiah 55:11. "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please."- Luke 1:38. "Then Mary said, 'Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.'"**Want to explore more?**

Audio taken from the live recording of "How Should Christians Respond to the Assassination of Charlie Kirk?" - https://youtu.be/qM-ek2B8LE4The global grief over the assassination of Charlie Kirk stems from his growing high-profile role not only as a conservative political activist, but equally as a Christian and a evangelical apologist presenting his Christian faith, defending biblical values and conservative on college and university campuses, podcasts, mass media, reaching and impacting young people across multiple countries.I believe there is a spiritual fire that has been lit by the spilling of his blood.
