It's hard to thank someone for a gift when you don't know who sent it. Dr. Tony Evans reminds us that every good thing in life comes from God and challenges us to respond with gratitude and generosity that reflects His heart.
Most of us are familiar with the catchy little tune, “Don't Worry, Be Happy,” but Dr. Tony Evans explores the deeper biblical truth behind that phrase and shows why Kingdom focus replaces worry with peace.
Chip relates the most fearful encounter with demons he ever faced and how you can prepare yourself to do battle with the Enemy.Four facts you need to knowGod has objectively defeated Satan. He has delivered us from sin's penalty and power. In the interim, we are involved in guerilla warfare with demonic forces.As believers, we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light with all the rights, privileges, and position a child of God entails.The spiritual battle involves a responsibility to “put on” the spiritual protection God has provided. We can resist the enemy's attempts to deceive, accuse, and cast doubt when we stand firm.The great majority of spiritual warfare need never go beyond the regular practice of living out our position in Christ by faith. Our practice of the spiritual armor protects us from Satan's attempts and minimizes any impact by the enemy.There are times however, when we must move beyond “standing firm” and ENGAGE the enemy in actual combatWhen taking significant steps of faith for spiritual growthWhen invading enemy territoryWhen exposing him for who he really isWhen we repent and make a “clean break” with the world, a long-held sin pattern, or an unholy relationshipWhen God is preparing us for a “great work” for His gloryHow to engage the enemy and win: Taking up the shield of FAITHTake the helmet of SALVATIONTake the sword of the SPIRITSummary: How to engage the enemy in spiritual warfarePrerequisite is a HEALTHY spiritual lifeUnderstand your POSITION in ChristDISCERN when demonic influence may be the causeClaim God's promises OUT LOUDTake our authority and position in Christ to COMMAND demonic forces to cease their activity and departBroadcast ResourceThe Invisible War ResourcesMessage NotesAdditional Resource MentionsThe Invisible War Small Group OfferConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
We're dropping this episode ON TIME in order to let you know that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed. What can we possibly do to fill ONE ENTIRE YEAR until it's released? Well, off the top of my head: we could play a bit of Simpsons Fortnite, we could try the demo for Dogpile, we could review the new Tears of the Kingdom prequel Hyrule Warriors - Age of Imprisonment, and then we could record a podcast about all of those things... That should take us 365 days or so, right? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter—your Bible Reading Coach—takes us through Psalms 122 and First Corinthians chapters 9 to 11. Together, we reflect on what it truly means to follow the living Word, Jesus, as we journey through scripture. Hunter emphasizes the importance of waiting for one another, serving with humility, and preferring others above ourselves, especially as we gather for communion. Alongside powerful readings and thoughtful meditation, you'll join in prayer, hear encouragement from G.K. Chesterton, and be reminded that you are deeply loved. So settle in, breathe deep, and let's allow these ancient words to guide us into a slower, more gracious way of living today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wait for each other. Slow down. Don't scramble to get yours, but see to it that others are served. That's the message at the heart of today's scripture and the encouragement found in Hunter's devotional reflection. Waiting is not something most of us want to do. Our world, our churches, even our relationships often suffer because we fail to wait for one another—we find it difficult to prefer others above ourselves, sometimes even at a simple meal. Yet, as Hunter reminds us, this is precisely what Jesus did the night he was betrayed. He served, he waited on his disciples. He was their waiter; he gave of himself on their behalf. In doing this, Jesus set the humble example for us all: to wait, to serve, to give ourselves for the sake of others. When we take this posture, remembering Christ by serving and preferring others, we make room for the Holy Spirit to work—not just in our own lives, but in the life of the church. Waiting becomes a simple spiritual discipline, one that opens us up to experience Christ's life and participate with him in his transforming work. Paul's words in 1 Corinthians challenge us: "When you gather for the Lord's Supper, wait for each other." It's simple, but necessary. Waiting reflects a posture that allows Christ alone to do what only he can do among us. As we gather in our churches, as we share at the Lord's table, let us be reminded to wait, to serve, to learn to give ourselves for others. That's a prayer Hunter has for his own soul, for his family—his wife, daughters, and son—and for you. May we learn to live this out in our homes, our communities, and our daily lives. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Daily Prayer (November 11th, 2025) Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today. Let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth that I am yours and you are with me. Amen. And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 17:7-10 Jesus said to the Apostles: "Who among you would say to your servant who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, 'Come here immediately and take your place at table'? Would he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished'? Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded? So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'" Reflection In this gospel, Jesus continues to reveal to his disciples things that are not in their frame of reference. But Jesus makes it clear that the role that we are given in this world is the role of service. Not being served. The religious people at the time of the disciples were notorious for wanting to be served and not serving. And so Jesus is making it clear, humility is what he wants from us. He wants us to recognize there is nothing greater than being called to serve, and then to carry through with service. It is the greatest role that we have, and it has great dignity and value. Closing Prayer Father, free us from our ego that often looks to make ourselves more than we really are. Give us the humility to simply be a loving, caring, forgiving human being. This is what the Kingdom needs in order to grow, to become, and to come to fulfillment. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
You will discover what it takes to do great things for the kingdom.
Are you gifted, called, and hungry for more—but feeling like God keeps you hidden, delayed, or “behind”? This teaching will help you understand why. In the Kingdom, God develops your being before He releases your having. When we chase platforms, titles, and opportunities without letting Him form our inner world, we end up with what we're seeing all over the Body of Christ: burnout, scandal, fractured teams, and leaders collapsing under the weight of what they've built. In this episode, we unpack what it means to master being as a believer and capacity leader. Join us for the Purpose Planning Live Masterclass in Courage Co. on 11/20 at 7pm CT: www.courageco.org

In this thought-provoking episode of Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals, Michael Blue unpacks the principle of shared credibility—the transfer of trust, power, and influence from one generation of leaders to the next. Drawing on the biblical story of David, Solomon, and Hiram, Blue explores how Solomon inherited his father's credibility and how mishandling that sacred trust led to strained alliances and moral lessons that echo into our professional and spiritual lives today. Listeners will be challenged to reflect on how they steward the credibility others have extended to them—and to ensure that their conduct honors those who believed in them first. "You cannot have an expensive friend and handle him cheaply. Don't do them dirty." New podcast episodes are available every Monday wherever you listen to podcasts.
The Wilderness E11 — After his death and resurrection, Jesus sends his disciples out into the world to share the good news of the Kingdom and make disciples. These disciples, also known as apostles, plant churches across the Roman Empire and write letters to congregations made up of Jewish and Gentile believers. And their letters often wrestle with the tension of living in the new age of Jesus' reign while also living in the old age of idolatry, corruption, and injustice. To talk about the overlap of these two ages, the apostles use a familiar metaphor: the wilderness. In this final episode of the series, Jon and Tim discuss how the New Testament authors use wilderness imagery to encourage and warn followers of Jesus to stay close to their good shepherd through the danger and deception of this present age.View all of our resources for The Wilderness →CHAPTERSThe Wilderness Pattern in 1 Corinthians 10 (0:00-27:00)The Wilderness Warnings in 1 Corinthians 3 and 5 (27:00-37:08)More Wilderness Warnings in Hebrews 3-4 (37:08-52:43)Concluding Thoughts on the Wilderness (52:43-1:00:21)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESFirst Corinthians: Interpretation: A Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching by Richard B.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, Hunter guides us through the Scriptures on this 10th day of November, sharing readings from Job 35 and 36 and 1 Corinthians 7 and 8. Together, we reflect on themes of God's justice, the blessing and challenges of marriage, and the powerful truth that love—not simply knowledge or religious performance—is the true mark of faith. As Hunter reminds us, we gather from all over the world to listen, pray, and kindle our hearts by the fire of God's love. Through thoughtful commentary and heartfelt prayers, today's episode invites us to let love be our guide in all things, seek God's purpose, and remember that regardless of what we know or achieve, we are deeply loved. Settle in, open your heart, and join the Daily Radio Bible community in a journey of faith, hope, and prayer. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Love is the truest test of what we really know. In today's reading, Paul makes a remarkable statement that challenges how we so often measure spiritual maturity and inclusion. He writes, "There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created and through whom we live." This is the kind of central truth you'd expect every believer to know, and yet Paul says, "However, not all believers know this." What a surprise. Even those who don't grasp the most basic tenets of faith are still counted as part of the community. We might think—in our churches and small groups and ministries—that knowing the right things, saying the right things, and praying the right things is the ticket in. But that's not Paul's view. Inclusion isn't about how much you know—it's about being known by God, the God who is love. Love gives itself to those who don't know, to all of us. Love lays down privilege and knowledge and lifts up those who are weak and uncertain. So Paul's advice is radical: let love be your guide. Let love direct your actions, and respond to those who "don't know" with patience, grace, and self-giving. Love is our catechism; it's our teacher and our guide. Whatever knowledge we possess, it should never stand above love, but always submit to it—for love instructs us in all we need to know, in God's perfect timing. Let love be our first concern, and then let's see what God will do. That's a prayer for my own soul, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and it's a prayer for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

God's timing, humor, and consistency are too perfect to miss. This episode dives deep into the divine alignment between Scripture, music, and memory—showing that you can't make this stuff up. When songs from Maverick City Music—“Too Good to Not Believe,” “Refiner,” and “Kingdom” featuring the lyric “Do you wanna know what Heaven looks like? It's looking like me and you”—randomly shuffled into my quiet time, it felt like heaven itself was speaking.In this powerful reflection, I share how Proverbs 10, my parents' timeless wisdom, and a “random” playlist all collided to prove one truth: God's consistency is undefeated. Verse after verse reminds us that righteousness brings joy, diligence beats laziness, and wisdom invites discipline. My mom used to say, “Count your many blessings, name them one by one,” and my pops would remind me, “Boy, you're the greatest—so act accordingly.” Turns out, they were echoing what God wrote 3,000 years ago.

Jessica Ullrich grew up watching her parents live open-handedly, their home and resources always available for God's purposes. Those early lessons in faith and giving deepened during her college years on the mission field, where she saw how generosity could open doors for the Gospel in ways words alone could not. Though she began her career in social work, Jessica soon felt God redirecting her toward the place where ministry and organizational leadership meet, preparing her to guide others in generosity from a broader perspective. Now, as Director of Programs with Generous Church, Jessica helps disciple-making networks around the world integrate generosity into their core training. Drawing on her cross-cultural experience and administrative insight, she equips leaders to tell stories of giving that fit their people's rhythms and languages. Her work has sparked movements where generosity becomes both a testimony and a tool for transformation. Jessica's journey offers grounded insight for those discerning how to lead others in generosity that reflects God's heart and multiplies Kingdom impact. Major Topics Include: How Stations of Generosity works for oratory cultures Similarities and differences between Stations and Generosity Design Lab Identifying people groups that would be a right fit for Stations Memorable stories of positive impact in the Field Salvations through simple generosity The challenge of generosity discipleship across cultures The necessity of prayer in the generosity movement An invitation to simple generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “The networks we get to serve and connect with are heroes in discipleship in the field.” “Our metric is getting networks to the place of empowerment. If our logo, name, and involvement can be completely stripped away, then that is our highest success.” “We lean on the networks that we partner with as the experts of their context so that we don't have to pretend to be.” “Even with all the regional nuances and complexities, truth sets people free.” “Prayer is the most significant fuel of the generosity movement.” “As long as we have something to eat every day, we have something to give to God every day.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Generous Church (see our interview with founder Patrick Johnson) Stations of Generosity Generosity Design Lab The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Matthew 6:33 | Kingdom First But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Are you intentional about your influence? You are influencing others. The question is what kind of influence do you have on others and how does it impact their life? What are you modeling for others? Today let's dive into... What is influence? Why do I need influence? Do I have influence? And a couple bonuses... How do I become intentional with my influence? What can God do with my obedience? This is a great episode to keep on repeat. You have to remember that this is what is important. This is what matters. Let's stop wasting our time on so many things that simply do not matter, so we can focus on what does. 1. Our relationship with Jesus matters. 2. Our Christian influence matters because we may be the only Jesus someone ever sees. Rise up. Lead like Jesus. Follow Him. Lead others to Him. Influence them for the Kingdom and make impact in their lives. And all God's people said, AMEN! Resources & Links: Want to take the Leadership Quiz? Click here.

Pastor Caleb Cole kicks off Kingdom Builders—a new Project Church series on generosity—with a powerful reminder that God calls us to build His Kingdom through open-handed living and faithful stewardship. Using Scripture from 2 Corinthians 9 and 1 Timothy 6, Pastor Caleb breaks down four steps to cultivating a heart of generosity: trusting God as our source, living open-handed, being rich in good works, and staying Kingdom-minded. Through personal stories, biblical insight, and practical application, this message challenges believers to see giving not as sacrifice but as seed—an act that grows faith, freedom, and eternal impact.
⚔️ Spiritual warfare is real. And if you want promotion in the Kingdom, you're going to have to fight for it. David Engelhardt (@engelhardtofficial) — pastor, attorney, and Kingdom warrior — exposes the greatest lie the enemy ever sold: “The devil's greatest lie isn't that he doesn't exist… it's that the spiritual realm doesn't matter.” Most believers underestimate the war they're in. Demons don't just attack through fear or temptation — they attack through voices. Because words create worlds — and if you listen to the wrong one, you'll live in the wrong reality. This episode dives deep into the real battleground:
THIS EPISODE Rob & Vinnie spend time asking questions about the church like: what are positive and negatives that they see in the church? Do buildings get in the way of the church carrying out its mission? Do we need to GO go to church if we are at home listening to sermons and worship music?

A City Built on Unbelief | Genesis 9–11 What happens when a society chooses pride over humility, self-determination over God's will, and human achievement over faith? The story of Genesis 9–11 gives us the answer. From Noah's shame and his son Ham's dishonor… To Nimrod's defiance and the building of Babel… To God's decisive judgment that scattered the nations— these chapters reveal the pattern of unbelief that still repeats itself today. In this message, Pastor Zach Terry unpacks: -How Noah's fall set the stage for a culture of rebellion -Why Nimrod's kingdom represented a man-made substitute for God's Kingdom -What the Tower of Babel says about humanity's desire for independence from God -The dangers of "faithless progress" and how God responds to it -The hope we find when we return to God's truth and design This is more than an ancient history lesson—it's a mirror to our own time. Discover how to recognize the seeds of unbelief and build your life on a foundation that will never crumble.

How do we live out the Christian life as Jesus intended? In this four-part series on the command to receive God's power, we explore Jesus' call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.Have we truly been born from above, receiving the promise of the Father through faith in Christ? Are we walking in the power of the Spirit, or still striving in our own strength?As we continue meditating on Jesus' command to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49), we see that the power of the Holy Spirit flows first from a right relationship with God—through being born again. This promise of the Father, long foretold by the prophets, is fulfilled through the finished work of Christ: His death, resurrection, ascension, and exaltation. From that place of completed redemption, Jesus now pours out His Spirit upon those who are His. We, like the disciples, are called to respond in simple, trusting obedience—to wait on the Lord, to gather in unity with His people, and to seek Him in prayer. Their obedience led to an outpouring of God's presence and power that transformed them from fearful followers into bold proclaimers of the gospel, bearing fruit for the Kingdom. We are reminded that spiritual fruitfulness does not come from striving but from abiding—yielding ourselves to the Spirit's filling, that Christ might live His life in and through us. As children of God, we are not only called to obedience but also empowered for it, through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Let us remain in Him, united in purpose, dependent in prayer, and confident in His power to do what we never could on our own.
Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Beginning this teaching in John 15:5, Rabbi Steve Berkson explains what Messiah Yeshua meant when He was exhorting His disciples to “stay in Me and He in them,” and how that statement could also be understood as, “if you are in covenant with Me.” Without the Spirit of Messiah (His intrinsic nature) in us, it is impossible to be in covenant with Him and His Father. • What is Covenantal Fruit? Moving on, Rabbi Berkson expands on a crucial point for developing a correct mindset when dealing with those around us, centered on the phrase “he is broken off and thrown away.” This leads him into passages in Matthew 13 and Romans 11 that were not in his notes. • What is the role for the Kingdom that surpasses all of our ‘pay grades'? • Is your being considered a “darnel” or a “tare” predestined? • Do you hold preconceptions about what leadership should look or sound like? What's the danger in that? Rabbi Berkson does a “reset” of a ‘faith idea' most of us have been taught throughout our lives, specifically the notion of “ask whatever you wish and it shall be done for you.” What is the terrible word that precedes the Messiah's statement about ‘asking'? Toward the end of the teaching, what started as a side note turned into an inspiring life-coaching moment as Rabbi Berkson discussed being unequally yoked, then shifted focus to those who are single and looking for a mate. A must-watch! Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages to give you a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

The Second Story and the Third Heaven This week I'd like to visit the architecture of resurrection. Yes, such a thing is possible! Scripture gives us several examples from literal buildings. Last week's newsletter gave a hint with the resurrection patterns in the homes of the women who extended hospitality to Elijah and Elisha. There are even more examples than that. Just to review, the last several newsletters have investigated the Torah's ancient call to hospitality, not just a a nice thing to do, but as a vital preparation to inherit the Kingdom. Our hospitality study trail through the Torah, Prophets, Writings, and New Covenant started with Song of Songs 5:1, a restoration of the Bride and Bridegroom to the Garden of Eden: • "I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam.I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat, friends; drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.” Elijah in 1 Kings 17:9 protected the widow and her son during the famine. Because she used the last of her flour and oil to feed the prophet of YHVH, she never lacked during the tribulation. She also hospitably gave him an upper room in which to dwell during the famine. In return, her son was resurrected from the dead in that upper room. Because she ministered to the man of God during an apocalyptic famine, she received multiplied miracles of nourishment and resurrection. And in Elisha's “double portion” fashion, he performs two resurrections for the hospitality of the upper room. First, the barren Shunnemite woman is rewarded with a son, and then later the son is resurrected from the dead: • "Now there came a day when Elisha passed over to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, and she persuaded him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat food. She said to her husband, “Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God passing by us continually. Please, let us make a little walled upper chamber and let us set a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there.” (2 Ki 4:8-10) The Shunemmite furnished her upper room with the furniture of the Mishkan. She made a little House for the Presence to dwell over the daily activities of her lower rooms. Elisha, a righteous visitor, was the stand-in for the very resurrecting Presence of Adonai. The upper room is the highest room of our home, a set apart place, yet attached to the rest of the home. What we furnish in the upper room blesses the rest of the home...or not. It can be where heaven meets earth...or not. When the Shunnemite woman constructed an upper room, imagine it as a third story built atop their own living quarters in the second story. Not a brand-new building, but one atop the existing one. Although now more symbolic because its examples are drawn from building construction in ancient times, today we still have upper rooms, those spaces we make to host the righteous believers who will accept our invitations. The visitor becomes the presence of Yeshua in our homes, especially during Shabbat. During the Iron Age (1000–586 BCE; the First Temple Period), the "four-room house" dominated Israelite architecture. The four-room house with pillars was widespread already, but it often had more or less than four rooms. The majority of houses only had three rooms, but could also five or more. The house had long rooms and a transverse broad room in the back, which could be partitioned by walls or columns. The ground level housed valuable livestock and had a working area for storage, weaving, food preparation, or other working tasks. The second level had the living quarters. A rooftop had an area for drying certain products, such as flax or fruits, and it was used as sleeping quarters in the intense heat of the summer for the cool breeze.
We're not just a church. We're a Family.Our Vision is clear, simple, and unique. Our vision is Jesus in you. Our vision is for the people of God to have a faith that holds them. The kind of faith that vanquishes doubt, verifies identity, and voraciously contends for inner peace. A faith that removes the past, clarifies the present, and breathes life into the future. Our vision is the Kingdom of God built within the people of this obscure, yet mighty generation. A kingdom so great that its purpose destroys the common lack of self worth. A kingdom that sharpens the eyes, tenses the muscles, and readies itself for the battle against darkness. A Kingdom that brings purpose and healing to those who have failed more than succeeded, who are sinners more than saints, and who have known more pain than pleasure. Our vision is to challenge the weak and unproductive church of our day. To step beyond those who are religiously immature and search out those who for their love for Christ cannot be offended. Our hope is to raise warriors instead of those who think God only exists to keep bad things from happening. To raise those who know that following Christ means suffering loss yet gaining all things. Our vision is clear, simple, and unique…. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

It takes faith to have a Kingdom Builder mindset. In this message, we're reminded that surrender leads to generosity—and generosity leads to miracles. From five loaves and two fish to lives transformed around the world, God multiplies what we place in His hands. Together, we're believing for bold faith, open hands, and a global impact for Jesus. Let's keep building the Kingdom—one miracle at a time!

Security analyst Elizabeth Neummann, author of "Kingdom of Rage," talks about the extremism found on both the political left and right. For our republic to stay healthy, she says it's important to police what views are acceptable in your movement. The same is true for our churches. Carmen looks through Ligonier Ministry's State of Theology 2025 Report. So many self-described "evangelicals" in reality don't hold to the views and concepts taught in the Bible.

Matthew 5:27-30 - In His second case study, Jesus explores the connection between the call to faithfulness to the one-flesh marriage covenant and the little looks and thoughts that reduce our brothers and sisters to sexual objects. In Jesus's kingdom, His disciples will fight to dignify one another as the divine image bearers that we are--and they'll live in light of the radical stakes that Jesus introduces here. All of this without shame, but in the loving light of the forgiving, merciful grace of our savior. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 6 of our series "Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: The Good Life in the Kingdom of Grace"] Questions for reflection: 1) What parallels did you notice in the stories Cameron shared about women's response to Jesus in the 2nd century and British journalist Louise Perry's response to Jesus over the last few years? 2) Why are Christians sometimes accused of being anti-sex? How would you answer that charge? 3) Talk about "covenant commitment" as the center of the biblical sexual ethic. 4) Jesus affirms the Old Testament's prohibition of adultery, but then He reveals its deeper heart. Why is Jesus concerned with what people do even with their eyes and minds? 5) How is this teaching good news for women, in particular? 6) What are some radical measures you could take to step into this fight in light of verses 29-30?

Purple Rain is a call back to our royal identity in Christ. We are not common. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a people marked by the blood of Jesus and called to carry both authority and access. This sermon awakens the revival of royal generosity: living saturated in the presence of God, speaking with Kingdom authority, and stewarding resources for the glory of God and the healing of nations.Through Scripture, story, and prophetic call, Purple Rain invites us to step into who we truly are: Rain Men, Rain Makers, and Rain Harvesters. When the King reigns, the rain falls. Revival begins in the heart and pours out into households, cities, and generations.
