Living Water: The Woman at the Well – John 4:1–26 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane walk through John 4:1–26, the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. What begins as a simple conversation about water becomes a life-changing revelation about worship, identity, and living water that never runs dry. Together, they explore how Jesus meets us in unexpected places, crosses cultural and personal barriers, and speaks directly to our deepest thirst. This passage reminds us that no past is too complicated, no question too bold, and no heart too far for the transforming presence of Christ. If you've ever felt unseen, unqualified, or spiritually dry—this conversation is for you. ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Story of God Podcast

Remember God loves you so much he sent his Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sins. You are of great value. Jesus loves you and He is just a prayer away! This episode includes AI-generated content.

In this foundational teaching, Apostle Kingsley Ajei-Godson emphasizes the month's spiritual focus: to truly believe, know, and understand Jesus for a victorious and adventurous walk with Him. He challenges believers to examine whether their daily lives reflect genuine faith, emphasizing that signs of God's glory follow those who truly believe. Through practical illustrations and scriptural insights, the message highlights the necessity of letting God's Word govern our mindset, responses, and decisions in every circumstance—whether in family, work, or personal challenges. Apostle Kingsley stresses that knowing Christ is not a one-time experience but a daily pursuit, where consistent engagement with the Word transforms believers into living testimonies of God's power. The teaching further reveals that discovering Jesus leads to discovering one's identity and divine purpose. Believers are reminded that they are placed in their families and environments as God's emissaries to break generational cycles and demonstrate His victory. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to shift from seeking material benefits or power to pursuing a genuine relationship with Christ—the only source of true life and lasting transformation.  

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee … When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.” Now there were six stone water jars … holding 20 or 30 gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” (John 2:1a, 3-7a)

This week Pastor John Starke begins our new sermon series in the book of John, "Knowing Jesus", preaching from John 1:1-18.

Pastor Dan Carrillo

Joy is not something we chase. It is something we choose because of who Jesus is.In this sermon, “The Joy of Knowing Jesus,” we walk through Philippians 3 and are challenged to rethink what really matters. In a world that celebrates status, achievement, and self made righteousness, Paul reminds us that none of it compares to knowing Christ. True joy is not rooted in circumstances but in a relationship with Him. We are called to reject confidence in ourselves, receive the righteousness that comes through faith, and find our identity completely in Jesus.When everything else is counted as loss, we discover that Christ is our greatest gain.

He Must Increase: John 3:22–36In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 3:22–36, where John the Baptist humbly declares, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” As questions of comparison and influence arise, John's response reveals a powerful model of humility, joy, and surrender.Together, they unpack what it means to live a life that points to Jesus rather than elevates self, how identity is secured in Christ—not position—and why true joy is found in making much of Him. This passage invites us to examine our motives, release comparison, and embrace a faith that celebrates Christ's increase above all.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Many people assume their spiritual journey ends the moment they say, “I believe.” But just as wedding vows begin a marriage—not finish it—so salvation is the starting line of a lifelong, living relationship with Jesus.In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to the apostle Paul as a striking example: a man with an impressive religious résumé who came to see every achievement as “garbage” compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ (Philippians 3:8–9). Why? Because genuine love for Jesus never settles into complacency. It longs for more.You'll hear why spiritual growth often begins with a simple, honest confession:“Lord, my love for You feels shallow—change me.”Dr. Youssef reminds us that Jesus longs to:nourish your mind with Truth,fill your heart with His love,lift your imagination to eternal priorities, andshape your will through surrender to His Spirit.But it starts with a holy dissatisfaction—an ache that refuses mediocrity and chooses to seek God with the whole heart.Scripture for today's devotional:“But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deuteronomy 4:29).Press play—and ask God to deepen your hunger for Jesus today. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

If we are to know and follow Jesus, Jesus will make us smaller. Knowing Jesus takes away our control. Knowing Jesus limits our choices. Knowing Jesus redefines our agency.

In this sermon we leanr about how knowing Jesus is possible through the revelation of Scripture and is a matter of life and joy.

A searching gospel message titled “Knowing Jesus — or Knowing About Him?”, asking whether we truly know Christ or have only know about him. With Psalm 73:2 reminding us how easily hearts can drift, this preaching calls for honest self-examination before the door is shut. The post Knowing Jesus — or Knowing About Him? appeared first on Preachers Corner.

Born Again: New Life from Above – John 3:1–21In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 3:1–21, the iconic conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. What does it truly mean to be born again? Together, they unpack the difference between religious knowledge and spiritual rebirth, the role of the Spirit in new life, and the radical love of God revealed through Jesus. This passage invites us out of striving and into surrender—where belief leads to transformation and darkness gives way to lightJohn 3:3 – “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”John 3:5 – “No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.”John 3:15 - "Whoever believes in him [Jesus] should not perish but have eternal life."John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son…”John 3:17 – “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world…”John 3:19–21 – Light vs. darkness—what we choose reveals what we believe.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

*This episode discusses difficult life experiences and emotional trauma. Listener discretion is advised* In today's episode of No Grey Areas, we sit down with anonymous author Lauren Graham for a deeply personal and redemptive conversation about resilience, healing, and faith.For the first time, Lauren shares her story of survival, opening up about how growing up in a broken and unstable environment shaped her life, leading her to search for love, identity, and belonging in the wrong places. Through every setback, she reflects on how God pursued her, even in her most lost, ashamed, and unworthy moments.She also talks about what it took to finally tell her story and how that journey led to her book, “No Victory, No Crown”, which is available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and TBN.This episode is raw and emotional, but it ultimately points to hope, restoration, and the reminder that no past is beyond redemption.https://www.amazon.com/No-Victory-Crown-Redemption-Story/dp/B0FVQKDHKX/ref=sr_1_8?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DxtI571Ek_pyrKOd-U6SmKSWYJT9ifsKsUMXmpydam0CC_oeGJbmSz_wAvbvCcD1_xn4d2uDTc_dvGH5X8PrQpFxX0aIPqIFhqOg7OFwzVx3Q48TYJ4dQy8Di8hbGzeUxvugiuEI6FPfdrGCYKAp-gFYJ9gCBXX7WH0VZ_EpkuEAvj_fKHBsZDU84eydVxHIlY8k2TZ-cZCrzP-AzaZDZslBteXYy03yjPPotEvPzEA.S6w4hVqPXY7CG6_JubBpfm9jNkD42MLbeT4tVULgKJE&dib_tag=se&qid=1770051214&refinements=p_lbr_one_browse-bin%3ALauren+Graham&s=books&sr=1-8CHAPTERS00:00:00 Intro00:02:29 Chapter 1: The Man that Ruined It All00:06:16 Chapter 2: The Blame Game00:07:20 Chapter 3: When Living a Dark Reality Becomes Normal00:09:45 Chapter 4: Trying to find love...in all the wrong places00:10:52 Chapter 5: Pregnant at 1600:12:58 Chapter 6: Knowing Jesus for the First Time00:15:44 Chapter 7: Searching for True Freedom00:19:43 Chapter 8: Losing the Light00:22:04 Chapter 9: My Second Pregnancy00:23:57 Chapter 10: Being a Single Mother Who is a Stripper and Prostitute00:29:03 Chapter 11: The Dating Life of a Stripper00:32:25 Chapter 12: Trying to Find an Escape00:36:15 Chapter 13: Finding a Purpose from the Pain00:39:33 Chapter 14: Trying to Find a New Path00:41:19 Chapter 15: Getting a DUI00:44:44 Chapter 16: Hitting Rock Bottom00:48:17 Chapter 17: The Biggest Secret I hid from my son00:51:23 Chapter 18: The Breakthrough00:56:27 Chapter 19: Breaking the Curse00:59:05 Chapter 20: Written in Stone01:00:44 Two Truths and a LieWEBSITE: ⁠https://www.nogreyareaspodcast.com/⁠INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/nogreyareas_gagliano/⁠FACEBOOK: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/NoGreyAreas⁠TIK TOK: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@nogreyareasgagliano⁠EMAIL: ⁠info@nogreyareas.com⁠No Grey Areas is a motivational podcast with captivating guests centered around how our choices humanize, empower, and define who we become.

What if the hardest path in your life is actually the right one?In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface unpack the biblical, psychological, and practical meaning of the narrow road—and why so many people misunderstand it.Using Scripture, real-world examples, and powerful analogies, the conversation reframes the narrow road not as religious restriction, but as God's process for transformation. The broad road promises clarity, comfort, and predictable outcomes—but only reveals its true cost later. The narrow road offers uncertainty upfront, but leads to life, maturity, and alignment with God's purpose.Garrett explains how the narrow road began with sin entering the world, how it culminates in Christ, and why walking it—not just knowing it—prepares you for eternal life and real leadership. Together, Garrett and Nick explore why certainty kills faith, why God prioritizes who you become over what you achieve, and how this dynamic applies to marriage, business, parenting, and suffering.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the narrow road exists and what it's designed to produceThe difference between knowing the gate and walking the roadWhy God is a God of process, not shortcutsHow belief, surrender, and trust are forged through uncertaintyWhy transformation—not outcomes—is God's primary goalHow the narrow road unlocks paths forward when life feels blockedIf you're frustrated, confused, or stuck—and the easy options feel empty—this episode will give you a new framework for understanding what God may be doing in your life right now.There is a way forward. It's just narrower than most people are willing to walk.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

It's possible to admire Jesus—and still sense there is more.In Part 2 of the Come and See Conference series, Lisa invites listeners to examine the quiet tension many believers carry: knowing about Jesus without truly knowing Him. Drawing from Matthew 16, the life of Peter, and the difference between spectatorship and discipleship, this message explores why transformation falters when faith is built on information alone.Rather than rushing toward imitation, Lisa slows the conversation down—emphasizing intimacy before response, revelation before movement, and encounter before expression. This teaching speaks to those who feel unsatisfied with surface-level faith and long for a deeper, more personal knowing of Jesus.This message will help you reflect on:The difference between observing Jesus and walking with HimWhy revelation often precedes transformationHow personal encounter reshapes the way we followWhy faith rooted in relationship carries endurance and depthHow knowing who Jesus is to you changes everythingDiscipleship doesn't begin with performance—it begins with relationship.And following Jesus flows naturally from truly knowing Him.To go deeper, read: Come and See: The Jesus Approach to Equipping Biblical DisciplesStay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast.

Come and See: The First Disciples – John 1:29–51In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through the Gospel of John by exploring John 1:29–51, the calling of the first disciples. From John the Baptist's declaration—“Behold, the Lamb of God”—to Jesus' simple yet powerful invitation to “come and see,” this passage reveals how relationship, curiosity, and witness draw people to Christ. Together, they unpack what it means to follow Jesus before fully understanding Him, how obedience often begins with an invitation, and why discipleship is rooted in encounter, not perfection. This conversation invites listeners to reflect on their own call to follow—and who God may be inviting them to bring along.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Spiritual growth isn't automatic or instant—it's intentional. In Part 2, we discover that true growth is centered on a person, not performance. As we behold Jesus through His Word, prayer, and daily dependence, we are transformed from the inside out—growing deeper in faith, character, and trust as we pursue knowing Him more.

Introduction Expressing gratitude and acknowledging a shift in the intended message. Originally planned to preach from scriptures. Felt divinely led to share a personal experience and message. Overcoming Paralysis Through Faith Sharing a personal experience of paralysis and recovery. Paralyzed from the neck down for nine months. Doctors predicted permanent paralysis. Experienced divine intervention and regained mobility. Able to walk and use arms again. God’s Purpose in Suffering God communicated a purpose during paralysis: to preach. Emphasizing that God has a purpose regardless of physical condition. Whether on a bike, in a wheelchair, or on the phone. Importance of obedience to God’s will. Striving for perfection and following God’s guidance. The Nature of Faith and Trust Acknowledging the universality of worry and doubt. Everyone experiences worry at some point. Worry leads to doubting faith. People often try to handle problems independently. Defining faith and trust from a pocket Bible dictionary. Faith: Belief and confidence in the testimony of another, especially God’s promise of salvation and eternal life through Jesus. Highlighting the importance of trust. Trust: Putting confidence in a person or thing; God’s name and words are worthy of trust. Emphasizing total confidence in God. Relying on God’s Understanding Admonition to not lean on one’s own understanding. Personal admission of making mistakes when relying on self. Decision to follow God’s guidance without looking back. Overcoming shyness and discomfort with public speaking. God’s Purpose for Everyone God has a purpose for every individual. Challenging the notion that all roles in the church are filled. There is always work to be done for God. Suggesting that a lack of need indicates the Lord’s return. Hebrews 11:6 and the Importance of Faith Reading and emphasizing Hebrews 11:6. “Without faith it is impossible to please him.” Belief in God and His ability to do all things. Faith and Overcoming Obstacles Faith can move mountains with God’s help. Necessity of work and effort alongside faith. Using the analogy of digging with a shovel. God wants people to work and trust in Him. The Story of Doubting Thomas Paraphrasing and reading from Matthew 20:24 about Doubting Thomas. Thomas’s disbelief in Jesus’s resurrection without physical proof. Thomas wanted to see the nail prints and touch Jesus’ side. Personal Testimony of Faith Without Seeing Never seen Jesus face-to-face but has heard His voice. Belief in the Bible’s promise of seeing Jesus one day. Knowing Jesus before meeting Him physically. Experiencing Christ’s Call Describing the unique experience of hearing Christ’s voice. Recalling the moment of conviction before turning life over to God. Hearing “Tony!” while driving and immediately stopping to pray. Transformation and commitment to following God. The Better Life with God Life is better with God, despite not being perfect. Earth is not our permanent home; heaven is the ultimate destination. Heaven and Hell Addressing the reality of hell, which many preachers avoid. Critique of churches focused on superficial aspects.

The Uncertainty of Life and the Need to Be Ready The day of birth is also the day one could die. The Bible instructs to always be ready. Need to be ready always. Avoiding Complacency Worrying about forgetting to thank God for blessings. The importance of praying without ceasing. Starting the day with gratitude to God. Thankfulness for blessings and answered prayers. Faith as Essential None of the above is good without faith. Hebrews 20:13 and the Desire for a Heavenly Country Reading from Hebrews 20:13 about dying in faith and seeking a better country. Confessing to being strangers and pilgrims on earth. Desiring a heavenly country prepared by God. Belief in Heaven Asking if the audience believes God has prepared a place in heaven. Maintaining faith and trust in God to reach that place. The Choice Between Heaven and Hell It is not God’s intention for anyone to stay on earth permanently. The choice between dying and going to hell or dying and living forever. The soul will lift up after the body is gone. Scripture says, absent from the body, present in the Lord. Readiness for Home Expressing readiness to go home to heaven. Looking forward to seeing Jesus, family, and friends. Meeting Jesus Jesus will come to get believers and lead them across the river. Envisioning this to overcome life’s turmoil. Envisioning seeing Jesus helps with burdens and trials. Paul’s Thorn and God’s Grace Paul’s prayer to remove a thorn in his side. The nature of the thorn is unknown, possibly cancer.

Expect His Reward Trust God for peace, direction, healing, provisions, and understanding. Always according to His will and timing. Don’t Forget Him Leave it with God. Don’t try to take care of God. Trust, don’t just perform rituals or works. God is pleased by genuine faith and a surrendered heart. Everyone needs to get out of here talking to the Lord. Not just the preacher. Testimony Every child of God has a testimony. Sharing testimonies can touch the world. Those who have been saved have a testimony. God’s Grace Saved by God’s amazing grace, undeservedly. Name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. A merciful God who saves by grace. Feeling God’s Presence The great feeling of feeling God’s loving arms. Being lifted up in prayer. The Power of Faith A mustard seed can spread and grow. Faith will get stronger and mightier. God’s Presence in the Church God is here to meet needs. Contrast between churches with a cold feeling and those filled with the Spirit. The importance of letting God run a mince between all of us. Spirit-Filled Churches Spirit-filled churches allow people to shout and express joy. Avoiding long-windedness and focusing on God’s presence. Being on God’s side, not one’s own. Taking as much time as God wants. Needing more people to get that way for more blessings and joy. Praising God It’s impossible to please God. Wondering if we’re pleasing Him.

It's easy to lose direction when we don't know where we're headed. In this message, we're reminded that just like a road trip, following Jesus requires clarity, vision, and focus. From the beginning, God has made the purpose of the church clear: to know Him and to make Him known. Walking through Matthew 22 and several other key passages, this sermon unpacks what it truly means to be radically focused on Jesus. • Knowing Jesus is the foundation of real life and lasting joy• Becoming like Jesus is the goal God is shaping us toward• Trusting and obeying Jesus leads us to greater life and growthKey Scriptures:John 17:3Matthew 22:35–40Matthew 28:18–20John 6:68–691 John 2:3–6John 15:4–11As you reflect on this message, ask yourself where your focus has drifted and what it would look like to intentionally grow in your love for Jesus.

It's hard to boil your life down to one thing - but take a moment and try. If you were to summarize all your activities and efforts into one statement, how would it end? "There's one thing I do, I..." In Philippians 3:12-16, Paul says his “one thing” is pressing on toward knowing Jesus. However, he goes on to say that all Christians should share this same goal and live in the same way.

When Christ becomes our greatest good, becoming like Him becomes our mission, and growth becomes our next step. This message challenges us to reflect honestly on what we are aiming at and invites us to take intentional steps toward deeper faith, community, and obedience in the year ahead.• Knowing Jesus is our greatest good and the true source of life• Becoming like Jesus is the mission that shapes how we love others• Spiritual growth happens through small, faithful steps taken togetherKey Scriptures:Matthew 22:36–40John 17:3John 6:351 John 2:3–6Matthew 28:18–20As you step into a new year, ask God what your next step of obedience is. Whether it's joining a group, committing to community, or re-centering your life on Christ, don't walk the journey alone.

In this episode of our sermon podcast, we dive into **Philippians chapter 3**, where the Apostle Paul shares one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. Once proud of his impeccable religious credentials—circumcision, heritage, zeal, and blameless law-keeping—Paul now counts it all as **loss**, even **rubbish**, compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus his Lord. At the heart of the chapter is this profound truth: nothing in life—success, status, achievements, or possessions—can compare to the priceless treasure of truly knowing Jesus. Paul traded everything to gain Christ, to experience His resurrection power, share in His sufferings, and be transformed into His likeness. Join us as we explore how this radical revaluation can reshape our priorities and fill our lives with unmatched joy and purpose. Knowing Jesus isn't just the best thing—it's the only thing that truly matters. Press play and discover why Christ is worth it all!

Joy isn't found by chasing better circumstances, it's discovered by drawing closer to Jesus. In this episode of the True Man Podcast, I explore how intimacy with Christ, especially in seasons of waiting, loss, and reflection, unlocks a joy the world can't offer and can't take away. #truemanpodcastContact Mike Van Pelt:mike@truemanlifecoaching.comhttps://www.truemanlifecoaching.com Order Mik's New Book, True Man True Ways – A Roadmap of Discovery to the Masculine Heart https://www.truemanlifecoaching.com/truemantrueways  Become part of the True Man Inner Circle — our weekly newsletter for men who refuse to settle.  truemanlifecoaching.com/newsletter

Don't Be Afraid! God is with you and for you today.This is how the angels re-assured the shepherds when God's Holy presence shined on the landscape in front of them as they were told of Jesus birth. Realizing that God really did want to talk to them and set them free! Knowing Jesus was born and lived on the earth proves He is personal as well as almighty. Today discover why putting faith in the living, loving God of yesterday, today and tomorrow casts out all fear. Luke 2:8-12 and I John 4:18

Parenting isn't just about shaping our kids—it's about shaping us. Through boundaries, consistency, repair, and everyday inconveniences, God uses parenting to expose our hearts, grow our maturity, and form us into people our children can trust. It's messy, humbling, and lifelong—but with Jesus, even our mistakes become part of the work of grace. In this honest conversation, Jamie and Heather reflect on the parenting lessons they've learned (and are still learning).   Show Notes:  In this episode they mention the book The 6 Needs of Every Child by Amy Elizabeth Olrick and Jeffrey Olrick, PH.D.   About Church on the Move: We are a family of churches in northeast Oklahoma. Our mission is to introduce people to the real Jesus. A lot of people know about Jesus but have yet to experience the life-changing power of His grace and truth. Knowing Jesus has transformed our lives, so our goal for each of our worship services, from our kids' environments on up, is to help people know that same love. We actively pursue Jesus in everything we do, and we believe He's given us a vision for a church that is deeply centered on Him and His word.

In the face of loss, unanswered prayers, when something bad happens—We often look for a balancing of the scales of good and bad. We try to make sense of tragedy by making it purposeful, but that's not Christian hope. Of course, God works in the midst of difficult circumstances, but we don't need to settle a score in a life where you're not always going to see the score settled. So, what do we do instead? How do we follow God through despair, loss, and tragedy? How do we follow God in success, good times, and answered prayers?   In this episode, Church on the Move Pastors Whit George, Ethan Vanse, and Seth Swindall talk through the book of James. They wrap up a 15-week teaching series in James by emphasizing our need for perspective from Heaven, wholeness from God, and God's presence in our everyday life.   Spoilers: Life will swallow up death in the end   -   SHOW NOTES: The Plight of Man And the Power of God by David Martyn Lloyd-Jones   Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Its Cure by David Martyn Lloyd-Jones   Weekend Messages: What "Brothers & Sisters" Really Means in James - Pastor Seth Swindall   Highlights from James: Wholehearted & Humble Living - Pastor Ethan Vanse   Practicing James' Model for Prayer - Pastor Whit George   -   Next Steps Looking to take a next step?
