In 1 Samuel 16–31, Saul refuses to release what God has already removed, spiraling into jealousy, demonic torment, murderous rage, and desperate witchcraft.In this powerful message, Pastor CJ Witkoe from Wonder Church unpacks Saul's tragic downfall and shows how clinging to control only leads to destruction, while surrender brings freedom.

Sometimes God calls us long before He crowns us. In this message, Pastor Dustin unpacks the moment David spares Saul's life in the cave of En Gedi (1 Samuel 24) and shows us why waiting on God's timing is worth it. From the battlefield where David defeated Goliath to the hidden caves where he learned restraint, David's story reminds us that promotion without preparation can destroy us, and that God tests the heart in secret before He trusts it in public. You'll discover: Why premature promotion can derail your calling How waiting tests integrity and shapes character How patience builds influence and defines legacy If you've ever felt overlooked, delayed, or tempted to take matters into your own hands, this message will help you trust God's timing and lead with integrity. Key Scriptures: 1 Samuel 17 | 1 Samuel 18 | 1 Samuel 19 | 1 Samuel 21–22 | 1 Samuel 24 Questions to reflect on: Am I letting impatience lead me, or is integrity guiding me? How am I responding to conflict — with restraint or revenge? Am I building trust through consistency even when unseen? Do I care more about being seen today, or carrying influence tomorrow?

What if God isn't distant at all—but running after you with goodness and unfailing love?In this message from Psalm 23, Pastor Clayton unpacks verse 6: “Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”David's confidence wasn't just for the present—it was for the future. God's goodness (tov) blesses us even in life's valleys, and His unfailing love (hesed) is covenantal, never-ending, and relentless. This hope isn't temporary; it stretches into eternity. In this sermon, you'll learn:- Why God's love is more than a feeling—it's a covenant- How “pursue” means God actively chases us with blessing- The difference between temporary comfort and eternal security- Why Psalm 23 is a psalm of confidence, not request- How the promise of “forever” changes how we live todayKey Scriptures:- Psalm 23:6 — “Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me…”- Genesis 1:31 — God declared creation “good” (tov)- John 10:27–28 — “My sheep listen to my voice… I give them eternal life.”- Romans 8:38–39 — Nothing can separate us from the love of God.Search Keywords:Psalm 23 sermon, God's unfailing love, will God chase me, goodness of God explained, hesed love, God pursues us, eternal life with God, dwelling in God's house, covenant love of God, Christian hope forever, God's promises  You are not stuck in pain, brokenness, or loneliness forever.

"Stewardship: Caring for What God Has Given You"God has entrusted you with time, talents, treasures, and opportunities—are you managing them well? In this episode of Free Your Journey, we dive into the biblical meaning of stewardship and explore how to faithfully handle what God has placed in our hands. From our finances to our health, from our relationships to our spiritual gifts, every area of life is an opportunity to glorify Him. You'll learn practical steps to grow as a steward, overcome distractions, and trust God's provision. Let's commit to using every blessing for His Kingdom!

What would it look like if we surrendered every relationship in our lives to God for His purposes? Pastor Steven teaches on loving Jesus above all, finding balance between independence and codependence, and walking in healthy, life-giving, godly relationships with others. Whether you're navigating family life, friendships, or tough relational decisions, this message will encourage you to trust God fully with the people in your life.

Saul looked like the perfect king—tall, handsome, and chosen by God. But behind the image was a man hiding in the baggage, ruled by insecurity, and torn between pleasing people and obeying God.In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe from Wonder Church explores 1 Samuel 9–15 to reveal how Saul's false self led to his downfall—and how we can throw off our own false selves to live in the freedom and love of Jesus.

This week in The Life of David (The Making of a King), Pastor Dustin Woodward unpacks one of the most iconic stories in Scripture: David vs. Goliath. It's more than history — it's a picture of how God still calls ordinary people to step into extraordinary moments. David wasn't looking for a spotlight. He was simply running an errand, delivering food to his brothers. But in the Valley of Elah, an ordinary assignment turned into an extraordinary opportunity. A shepherd boy, overlooked by many, stepped forward in faith to face the giant that left an entire army paralyzed in fear. Key Scriptures: 1 Samuel 17:17–51 | Luke 16:10 | 2 Corinthians 1:21–22 In this message, you'll discover: Ordinary assignments lead to extraordinary opportunities – Your faithfulness in the small opens the door to God's greater plan. Your past battles prepare you for today's victories – Every lion and bear you've faced was preparing you for something bigger. You can't fight giants in someone else's armor – God's anointing rests on authenticity, not imitation. You can't conquer what you won't confront – Avoidance never brings freedom; victory requires courage. The enemy's weapons become your testimony – What the enemy meant to defeat you can become the very thing God uses to display His power. “Opportunities often come disguised as giants.” “The giant you won't face is the giant you can't defeat.” Whether your “giant” looks like fear, addiction, insecurity, financial pressure, or broken relationships — the truth is this: the battle belongs to the Lord. What God has entrusted to you is enough to defeat the giant in front of you. This message will strengthen your faith, challenge your perspective, and remind you that with God, no giant is too big, no battle is too strong, and no situation is beyond His power. Our Prayer Today: That you would rise with courage like David, face the giants standing in your way, and trust that the same God who empowered David is with you right now.

What if the safest place isn't avoiding enemies—but sitting at the Shepherd's table in the middle of them?In this message, Pastor Clayton preaches from Psalm 23:5, reminding us that God prepares a feast for us in the presence of our enemies. At His table, we are anointed, refreshed, honored, and given more than enough—even when the world around us feels chaotic. The table is not mine or yours—it's His. And when we come as guests, He promises not just to refresh us, but to overflow our lives with blessing.In this sermon, you'll learn:- Why the Shepherd calls us to sit, not strive- How God anoints us with oil as a sign of honor and refreshment- What it means for your “cup to overflow” with blessing- Why the table is where identity in Christ is greater than any other label- How staying at the table keeps us from chasing fleshly anger, pride, or fearKey Scriptures:- Psalm 23:5 — “You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies…”- Job 2:11–13 — Job's friends sat in silence with him in grief- James 1:19–21 — Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger- Matthew 26:26–28 — The table of the Lord's SupperSearch Keywords:Psalm 23 sermon, come to the table, God's anointing, my cup overflows, feast in the presence of enemies, God's blessing, resting in God, Jesus refreshes us, spiritual rest, identity in Christ, finding peace at God's tableAre you exhausted, empty, or restless?

Continuing our new series “Kingdom Life”, today Pastor Chase teaches part 1 of a 2 part message on what the King says about our identity.Key Scriptures: 1 Peter 2:9-10, 1 Cor 13:!2, 1 John 2:15-17,3:1, Rom 12:2, Luke 9:23-25, James 1:22-25, Eph 2:19,10

What if stress isn't caused by what's happening around you, but by the way you perceive it? In this episode, Graham Cooke explores how the Holy Spirit remodels our minds, replacing speculation and doubt with peace and confidence in Christ. Discover how God always works with “instead” — bringing joy for mourning, beauty for ashes, and freedom for every place of captivity.Key Scriptures:+ 2 Corinthians 10:4–5. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses… taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.+ Acts 17:28. In Him we live and move and have our being.+ Hebrews 4:16. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence…+ Isaiah 61:1–7. The Spirit of the Lord… to bring good news, bind up the brokenhearted… to grant a garland instead of ashes, oil of gladness instead of mourning…+ Romans 12:2. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind…+ 2 Timothy 1:12. I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him.**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. As Christians, how should we respond?In today's teaching:1 - Why has there been global grief over the assassination of Charlie Kirk?2 - Is it time for Christians to rise up and retaliate?3 - Did the Bible prophesy an increase of violence and persecution in the last days?Key Scriptures for today's teaching: 1 John 3:11-16Other Scriptures referenced in this teaching: John 12:24-26; Psalm 94:1-5; Romans 12:17-19; Matthew 5:44-48; Matthew 24:9-14; 2 Timothy 3:1-3Unless 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! 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

Today we begin a brand new series: The Life of David (The Making of a King). Other than Jesus, no one in Scripture has more written about them than David — over 60 chapters, more than 1,000 mentions, and countless lessons about leadership, worship, and walking with God. In this opening message, “The Call of a King,” Pastor Dustin Woodward shows us how God's call on David's life reminds us of our own calling: Key Scriptures: 1 Samuel 16:6–13 | Luke 16:10 | 2 Corinthians 1:21–22 3 Truths from David's Call: God sees possibility where others see limits — People look at outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. God finds you in the field — Faithfulness in small things prepares you for bigger things. The anointing reveals God's purpose — Anointing may not change your assignment overnight, but it always changes your identity. David's story proves this: you don't need the approval of people to be chosen by God. His call isn't about pedigree, popularity, or position — it's about His plan. “Anointing = God's empowerment for God's assignment.” Series Theme: This isn't just the story of David — it's the story of every believer learning how God shapes us through calling, character, and anointing to step into His purpose. Whether you're in the “field” waiting, in a season of testing, or walking in your calling, God is forming a king's heart inside of you.

This message unpacks three powerful truths: The Preparation, The Provision, and The Presence of God in our lives, revealing His care is intentional, abundant, and unshakable.In this sermon, you'll discover:- How God is always ahead of your worries, anxieties, and challenges (Isaiah 65:24)- Why His provision satisfies the deepest hunger of your soul (Psalm 34:8)- How His presence transforms even the presence of enemies into a place of blessing (Matthew 5:11–44)- Practical ways to rest in God's love without having to “fix yourself” first- How to move toward mental, emotional, and spiritual healing through God's invitationKey Scriptures:- Psalm 23:1–6 — The Lord as Shepherd and Host- Isaiah 65:24 — God answers before we even call- Psalm 34:8 — “Taste and see that the Lord is good”- Matthew 5:11, 44 — Blessings in the midst of oppositionSearch Keywords:Psalm 23 sermon, God's provision, God's presence, Psalm 23 explained, spiritual healing, peace in anxiety, God's feast for the soul, overcoming fear and stress, Christian encouragement, trusting God in hard times God has already prepared a feast for you.

What do you do when life feels stuck in the shadows?In this message from Psalm 23, Pastor Clayton Bell reminds us that the Shepherd's presence is just as real in the valleys as it is in the green pastures.

Because of the social media wildfire of rapture predictions for September 23rd, 2025, I have had a multitude of questions come my way in recent weeks.First of all, the doctrine of the rapture is a biblical belief that both living and dead believers will be suddenly “caught up” or “snatched away” from earth to meet Jesus Christ in the air at the time of his return.Despite the growing unlettered attack upon the doctrine of the rapture, the majority of early church fathers wrote about escaping the tribulation and being saved from coming wrath, which is an early rudimentary form of rapture theology.In our time together today, I would like to answer 3 questions often asked on this subject.1 - Why have so many predicted the Rapture will take place on September 23rd, 2025?2 - Does the Bible teach the Rapture will take place on a Jewish holy day?3 - What does the Bible say about date setting? ———————————————————Key Scriptures for today's teaching: Text: Matthew 24:30-36Other scriptures used in this teaching: Mark 13:32-33; Acts 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2Unless 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! 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/

Audio is taken from the original live recording - https://youtu.be/cMGYm4g1zSMFor centuries, Christians have debated the question: is water baptism required for salvation? Some traditions hold it as essential, while others see it as an outward sign of an inward faith. This topic is consequential because it touches on the heart of the gospel, specifically, how a person is made right with God. Because of its importance, we must carefully seek understanding, not from tradition or denominational opinion, but from the Word of God itself.1 - Why do some churches and denominations teach that water baptism is required for salvation?2 - Which churches and denominations teach water baptism is required for salvation?3 - Does the Bible teach water baptism is required for salvation?Key Scriptures for today's teaching: 1 John 5:1-13Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be from the NLT, the New Living TranslationIf you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know! Be sure to watch the curated playlist “New Beginnings” - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4&si=Pj84Hm2dGX57OH4Z Thank you for watching, and subscribe for new content each week.Connect with Tiff Shuttlesworth Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LostLambAssociation/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TIFFSHUTTLESWORTH/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/tiffshuttlesworLearn more about my ministry: https://lostlamb.org/ Learn more about my ministry in Canada: https://www.lostlamb.ca

Audio taken from the original video "Top 5 Ways You Know You Are Saved" - https://youtu.be/PUd_M8bq5EM“Am I really saved?”My decades of ministry around the world have revealed to me that the struggle with the assurance of salvation is something that many Christians, both new and mature Christians, secretly worry about.You are not alone if the enemy of your soul casts doubt on the work God has done in your heart. Many of you that are listening have heard that whisper of doubt in your mind. “If you were a real Christian you wouldn't behave like that, think like that, still struggle with temptation, etc.When it comes to the assurance of your salvation, you don't have to live with an, “I think so”, or an “I hope so”, you can have an “I know so” and be assured of your salvation!For all who have ever doubted your salvation, I felt led to provide this Bible study to provide an answer to your doubt once and for all!Here are the Top 5 Ways You Can Know You Are Saved:1. You have placed your faith in Jesus Christ and His resurrection 2. You will have assurance from God's Word3. You will have the presence & witness of the Holy Spirit4. You will have a changed life and conviction of sin5. You will have a love for God and other believersKey Scriptures for today's teaching: 1 John 5:1-13Other Scriptures in this teaching: Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 1:13-14; Romans 8:16; John 3:30; 1 John 2:5-6; 1 John 3:14;Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be from the NLT, the New Living TranslationIf you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know! Be sure to watch the curated playlist “New Beginnings” - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4&si=Pj84Hm2dGX57OH4Z Thank you for watching, and subscribe for new content each week.Connect with Tiff Shuttlesworth Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LostLambAssociation/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TIFFSHUTTLESWORTH/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/tiffshuttlesworLearn more about my ministry: https://lostlamb.org/ Learn more about my ministry in Canada: https://www.lostlamb.ca

Send us a textHi. When the Apostle Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 15, he tackled one of the biggest—and most hotly debated—questions in the Christian faith: What really happens after we die? For the Corinthians, the issue wasn't whether Jesus rose from the dead—they believed that. The problem was the resurrection of our bodies. Many thought it was impossible, undesirable, or downright absurd.In this episode, we explore:Why the Old Testament often paints such a bleak picture of life after death (and where it offers surprising glimmers of hope).How Jewish and Greek worldviews shaped the Corinthians' confusion about resurrection.Paul's radically different vision: that in Christ, you will still be you, body and soul—made new, whole, and fit for eternity.Why the Christian hope is not the “basic model” of resurrection, but the “deluxe package” paid for in full by Jesus.With a mix of history and Scripture, we'll see that Paul's teaching isn't just about winning theological arguments—it's about living today with the confidence that your future in Christ is secure, physical, and unimaginably glorious.Key Scriptures:1 Corinthians 15:1–11Psalms 6:5; 30:9; 88:10–12; 16:9–11; 73:24Isaiah 38:18Ecclesiastes 9:4–5, 10Job 19:25–27So, listen if you've ever wondered:Will I be “me” in heaven?Why do Christians believe in a physical resurrection?What happens to my body after I die?How do ancient Jewish and Greek ideas still shape how people think about death today?Support 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

Why Most Churches Get the Gifts of the Spirit Wrong | Word of Mouth PodcastAre the gifts of the Spirit still for today? Absolutely.But what happens when they're misunderstood, misused, or manipulated?In this episode, we dive deep into the purpose, power, and potential abuse of the spiritual gifts — especially the vocal gifts like tongues, interpretation, and prophecy. You'll learn why Paul gave strict instructions in 1 Corinthians, how to discern between the real and the fake, and why order and submission still matter today.If you've ever been confused by the gifts, burned by spiritual abuse, or hungry for real anointing — this conversation is for you.

In a culture that often defines people by their relationship status, God reminds us of a better truth: your worth and identity come from Him alone. In Week 2 of our Home Sweet Home series, Pastor Dustin and Mandy share a timely message called “The Gift and Goals of Singleness.” Singleness is not a gap to be filled but a gift to be embraced — a season to walk in purity, pursue spiritual growth, and maximize your influence for the Kingdom. Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 7:7–8, 17 | Ephesians 4:14–15 | Matthew 7:16–17 | Galatians 5:22–23 | Proverbs 13:20 In this message, you'll discover: – How to be content and maximize your singleness – What to become and what to look for in relationships – 10 warning signs you can't ignore when pursuing a future spouse – Why your identity is complete in Christ — not in your relationship status “Learn to see singleness as a gift, not a gap.” “Use your freedom for Kingdom impact.” Closing Prayer from Pastor Dustin & Mandy: God, my identity is not found in my relationship status but in You. I am chosen, complete, and called. Use this season for Your purpose. Let me walk in wholeness, trust Your timing, and live with joy as I follow You wholeheartedly. Whether you're single, married, or somewhere in between, this message will encourage you to see your season through God's eyes and embrace the unique calling He has for you. What's one way you can maximize your season of singleness? Share in the comments!

Do you want to hear God's voice more clearly?Collin Hoke shares how walking in step with the Holy Spirit brings clarity, focus, and transformation. Using Paul's words in Galatians 5, we'll discover that hearing God isn't just about spiritual techniques—it's about aligning our daily rhythm to His beat. When we sync our lives with the Spirit's tempo, God's voice becomes clearer and His fruit flows naturally. But competing “off-beat” rhythms—like selfishness, division, envy, and idolatry—can muddy that clarity.In this sermon, you'll learn:- Why hearing God starts with loving God and others- How to recognize when you're “off-beat” spiritually- The slow drift that pulls you away from God's rhythm- Simple daily practices to keep in step with the Spirit- Why repentance is the “first beat” to hearing God clearlyKey Scriptures:- Galatians 5:13-25 — Walk in step with the Spirit- Ephesians 1:13 — Sealed with the Holy Spirit- Matthew 22:37–39 — Love God, love othersSearch Keywords:walking in the Spirit, Galatians 5 sermon, hearing God's voice, fruit of the Spirit, keeping in step with the Spirit, Christian spiritual growth, how to hear God clearly, obeying God, daily spiritual habits, love God love othersDon't just try to “hear” God—start walking in His rhythm, and you'll begin to recognize His voice every day.Like, Subscribe, and share this message with someone who wants to grow in step with the Spirit.

DIY—Your Faith | Week 1 | How to PrayThere are two types of people: those who DIY everything and those who DIY nothing.  Some of us take pride in doing everything ourselves—whether it's fixing a leaky faucet, repairing a car, or even tackling major home renovations. With countless YouTube tutorials at our fingertips, it seems like anything can be DIY'd.  Then there are those who hear the phrase “don't try this at home” and take it to heart, applying it to every aspect of life.  When it comes to faith, we often treat it the same way. Some of us try to figure it out all on our own, while others rely entirely on someone else—pastors, mentors, or teachers—to guide every step.  But here's the truth: God has already given us everything we need—the resources, wisdom, power, and the ultimate instruction manual, His Word—to DIY our faith. Our relationship with Jesus is personal, and we are called to take ownership of it.  Key Scriptures:  - James 1:22 (NIV) — Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.  - Matthew 7:24 (NIV) — Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  You are not called to figure it all out alone, but you are called to take action.  Over the next several weeks, we'll explore how to DIY our faith—how to pray, read the Bible, study Scripture, and apply its truths to our daily lives.  And the best news? We have the ultimate guide—the Holy Spirit—to lead us through it all.  Learn more at cccfamily.com

That concept infers that children are not held accountable by God for their sins until they reach a certain age. Is the concept of an age of accountability biblical? Does the Bible define an “age of innocence”?In our Bible study today I would like to answer these three questions.1 - Where is the "age of accountability" mentioned in the Scripture?2 - Why do many Christians claim the age of accountability as 12-13 years old?3 - What happens to children who die before they are old enough to understand the Gospel?-------------------Key Scriptures for today's teaching: Matthew 18:1-6Other Scriptures in this teaching: Isaiah 7:14-15; Deuteronomy 1:37-39; 2 Samuel 12:19-23; Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be from the NLT, the New Living TranslationIf you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know! Be sure to watch the curated playlist “New Beginnings” - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4&si=Pj84Hm2dGX57OH4Z Thank you for watching, and subscribe for new content each week.Connect with Tiff Shuttlesworth Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LostLambAssociation/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TIFFSHUTTLESWORTH/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/tiffshuttlesworLearn more about my ministry: https://lostlamb.org/ Learn more about my ministry in Canada: https://www.lostlamb.ca
