Sometimes rejection is direction. In this moving message from Mark 12:1-12 and Matthew 21:42-45, Bishop T.D. Jakes confronts the dangerous spirit of entitlement that threatens our relationship with God. Bishop reminds us that we did not build what we're standing in. God brings us into places that were already prepared. The question isn't whether we deserve it; it's whether we can steward it with humility. Entitlement can masquerade as pride, hide behind scripture, and embody false humility, while God waits to see if we've truly grown on the inside. This is God's pattern: bringing us into places of growth we didn't create so we can stretch into His purpose. The greedy heart corrupts expansion, but gratitude recognizes that we don't deserve what's been given and transforms everything. If you're stepping into a new season, struggling with comparison, or needing a reality check about ownership versus stewardship, let this word recalibrate your heart.

Episode 390: Here Comes the Teacher — Watch Advent invites us to wake up to God's presence—even in the chaos. In this first week of our Advent series, Here Comes the Teacher, we explore Jesus' call to "stay awake" in Matthew 24. Rather than predicting the future, Jesus offers a posture for faithful living: watchfulness. In a world marked by turmoil, whether in the first century or today, the Teacher invites us to pay attention, stay centered, and notice where God is breaking in right now. Sara and Tim unpack how Matthew's Gospel speaks into moments of crisis, reminding us that God's presence is not distant or theoretical. It's Emmanuel, God with us, showing up in the swirl of ordinary life. From practicing the means of grace to asking daily, "Where have you experienced Christ's presence today?" this episode offers a hopeful and grounded way to move through Advent. Leaders especially will find encouragement to help their communities stay awake to God's activity, resist fear-driven distractions, and cultivate habits that keep hope visible, even when the world feels anything but calm. This week's invitation: Stay awake to Christ's presence. Let Jesus—not the turmoil—be the center of your story. For show notes, visit transformingmission.org/390.

Most churches and Christians love to do things, especially things for God. These "doings" sometimes take us away from the mission Jesus actually gave us. This week we explore how we must let Jesus be and do everything He must while finding our place in relationship to Him. Let Jesus be Jesus, and we, as a church, do our best work when we point to Him.
It's time to work what God placed in you. In part two of his message “Let's Go to Work,” Touré Roberts reveals how God designed us for enterprise, purpose, and impact long before we ever saw it in ourselves. Drawing from Ephesians 2, James 2, and John 9, he shows how faith isn't passive — it's activated when we build, create, serve, and walk out what God already planted within. You are God's workmanship — His poem — crafted with intention, rhythm, and capacity. The gifts, ideas, and abilities in you aren't random; they are part of a divine ecosystem of productivity waiting to flow through your life. This message will challenge limiting beliefs, ignite your design, and call you into the kind of work that transforms lives — including your own. It's not just time to believe. It's time to build — your calling, your purpose, and your kingdom business.

A Prayer to Let Jesus Lead by Katie J. TrentWhat is the significance of the Christmas star? In today's episode, we learn how the star points us to the greater truth of Jesus’ guidance in our lives. Just as the star led the Magi on their long journey to find the newborn Messiah, Jesus promises to lead and direct us as we trust Him.We reflect on how stars fill our homes and holiday traditions—tree toppers, decorations, and even cookie cutters—reminding us of the light that guided wise men to Jesus. Yet Scripture tells us something even more astounding: God not only created the stars but counts and names them (Psalm 147). If He knows every star, how much more does He care about us? Reference: Matthew 2:9-10 Prayer: Jesus, we choose to trust in You and ask You to lead and guide us all the days of our lives, just like You led the magi. Help us not to lean on our own understanding, but to seek Your will and Your wisdom in all we do. And let us become an example for our children so that they will allow You to lead them all the days of their lives as well. Amen.

Revival isn't God doing a new thing, it's reorienting us back to His original design. In this timely message, Touré Roberts unpacks how the kingdom of God operates as a counter-kingdom, challenging both culture and religious rigidity. Through James 2:14-18, Ephesians 2:10, and John 9:4, he walks us through how faith and work are divinely integrated. Learn what it means to be God's workmanship and how we are God's “poem” crafted with intentional rhythm and purpose, not mass-produced. Work means more than good deeds; it's toil, labor, business, and enterprise designed to advance the kingdom. God prepared our work beforehand — it's time to move from working for a salary to operating in God's original design. The power to multiply isn't just in you, but in the ability God gave you (Deuteronomy 8:18). In a world that favors the masses, we must know that opportunities to create and build are more accessible than you think. Remember: You are called to lead. You are the head and not the tail.

Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Cora Jakes, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Oscar Williams come together for a panel that's going to shake something loose in your spirit. In this Walk It Out Wednesday service, they dive into the book of Exodus and unpack the powerful truth: Your isolation already has an expiration date, and God's the one who set it. Your participation is required in your own deliverance. How are you actually participating by faith? There's a difference between reacting to the storm and responding with faith. You have to face your own stuff to participate in your freedom. The panel tackles questions that you've been battling with: How do I move from isolation into ministry? How do I reach someone who's isolated but won't admit it? What's my purpose and where am I even supposed to go? How do I trust God enough to let go? Bottom line: Every isolation comes with an assignment. Just like God rerouted every wrong turn for Israel, He's been doing the same for you.

Many people believe prayer is important—and they're right! But for someone new to prayer, it can be hard to know how to start or what to say. And if we are honest, even those of us who are more experienced can sometimes struggle. But there is good news! Because the One Person throughout human history who has had the closest and most intimate relationship with God offers to TEACH US how to pray! And if we'll listen to Him, the door to a deeper and more personal relationship with God through prayer opens wide.
Many of us struggle to ask for help. We find ourselves trapped in isolation that makes us believe no one fully understands our struggles. But Sarah Jakes Roberts delivered a liberating word: God never intended isolation to be a destination; it's meant to be a place of divine encounter. Too much isolation distorts our identity, causing us to forget who we are, what we believe, and where we're called. The woman with the issue of blood heard about Jesus while in isolation, but she broke out of it to pursue transformation. We need that same faith to break out before we settle. The anxieties and divisions devastating our world cannot be overcome in isolation. It's time to surrender the place of isolation, open up to let God's glory in, and allow others to care for you. This requires sacrifice and moving in Gpd's timing, not the world's schedule. The expiration date on your isolation has arrived.

In part 2 of this message, Pastor Brandon unpacks Jesus' teaching on how to pray effectively, not like the hypocritical religious leaders or the mindless pagans, but in a way that truly connects with the heart of God. Jesus warns us against praying for attention, using empty repetition, or treating prayer like a performance. Instead, He gives us the Lord's Prayer, not as a ritual to recite, but as a template for meaningful, personal, and powerful communication with our Father in heaven. Discover how to: ✅ Pray with sincerity, not showmanship ✅ Align your will with God's purposes ✅ Build a private, authentic relationship with the Father ✅ Use the Lord's Prayer as a framework for deeper, effective prayer Let Jesus' words transform your prayer life from routine to relationship!
Deep down, you know you were never meant to stay where you are. The ache you feel isn't failure — it's God stirring your spirit to move. In “The Nomadic Life,” Touré Roberts reveals that following Jesus means embracing movement — spiritually, mentally, and physically. Jesus Himself lived as a nomad, moving wherever the Father led. Likewise, we must release comfort, renew our minds, and follow God's provision wherever it flows. The nomadic life is not instability — it's alignment. It's learning to discern when to move, when to rest, and how to stay postured for purpose. If you've felt stuck, God may be calling you to shift. His promises for you are already settled. Now, it's time for agile posture willing to get in a heavenly flow. Your next level begins with your next move!

Stop letting your flesh lead you into dangerous waters. This dynamic panel discussion with Dr. Valerie Crumpton, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Cora Jakes, and Pastor Don Johnson follows up on Sunday's message, “Get Out of Your Way.” Their conversation highlights how we have the tendency to sabotage our own spiritual growth. Pastor Johnson shares how Jesus in Gethsemane reveals that most of us have a hearing problem, not an obedience problem; while Dr. Crumpton examines how the garden represents God's classroom where the process of life and death cultivates us. This Walk It Out Wednesday encourages us to refrain from coveting someone else's promise, but instead understand that the process is for you to become more like the One who ordains it. Questions Answered from The House: How do I know what God has promised me and fully serve Him? How do I remain in the process without getting distracted or discouraged? Do you discover your identity in the process or promise? Join this conversation and make sure to bring your questions every Wednesday!

The very thing you've been praying for may require you to become the answer. In this transformative message, Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that we are often the answers to our own prayers, and God has always had us in His plan. Drawing from Matthew 26:37-46, where we find Jesus in His most relatable moment, sorrowful and uncertain in the Garden of Gethsemane, she distinguishes between God's promise and our process: “The promise depends on God; the process depends on you.” While we focus on the promise, God uses the process to transform us into the version that can carry it. This version will allow us to look more like Him. Just as God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden before releasing them to have dominion over the earth, He positions us in smaller places to cultivate the character needed for greater purpose. The process God has placed you in isn't about getting what you desire; it's about becoming who He needs you to be.

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We have been looking at how Jesus goes about transforming Simon into Peter through the different teachings and interactions Jesus has with his apostle. I would like for us to open our copies of God's word to John 13 where we will consider another important interaction between Jesus and Peter. […] The post Let Jesus Serve You (John 13) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
Before glory comes groaning — but how do we remain steady while awaiting God's answer? In this Walk It Out Wednesday teaching, Bishop T.D. Jakes takes us deeper into Romans 8 to show how God establishes believers in a position that can't be shaken. Life may test your condition — pain, disappointment, pressure — but your position in Christ remains your anchor. You are seated with Him in heavenly places, covered and secure. Through every sigh and struggle, the Spirit groans with you, praying for what words can't express. Even when you don't understand the process, God is using it to shape your character, silence pride, and bring your faith into alignment with His purpose. MEDITATION MOMENT: When the suffering ends and the glory is revealed, you'll see that everything you endured was building spiritual strength. What you're going through now can't compare to what's about to be revealed in you! Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: The Groan Before the Glory” Speaker: Bishop T.D.

A sound is rising from the earth — a groan that carries both pain and promise. It's the collective pain we have all endured as we've hoped and waited for God to make sense of our struggle. In “The Groan Before the Glory,” Bishop T.D. Jakes reveals that our suffering isn't proof of God's absence — it's the soil of transformation. The Spirit groans within us, interceding for what words can't touch and awakening the sons and daughters of God to rise. What feels like breaking is really birthing us. The groan is producing glory — and the glory comes with power! Every shout shakes something loose. Every tear turns into triumph. And every praise disrupts through darkness like an earthquake. The glory of God is breaking out in you — so open your mouth, lift your hands, and let the fire fall. God is making you powerful. Watch today and step into your supernatural comeback!

Read OnlineAfter Jesus had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal. The Lord said to him, “Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil. You fools!” Luke 11:37–40It's hard to imagine Jesus calling someone a fool. But that's exactly what He did. This Pharisee had just finished listening to Jesus give a series of teachings and then invited our Lord to His home for dinner in an apparent gesture of kindness. But as the passage unfolds, it's clear that this Pharisee is no friend of Jesus. Instead, his hospitality and kindness are a cloak for the evil within his soul.Why does Jesus respond so fiercely, calling the Pharisee a fool? Because this Pharisee is filled with hypocrisy. His exterior actions do not flow from a heart filled with charity and faith. Instead, his exterior actions are a show. He is a fraud. He, like many of the Pharisees, was very concerned with various external rituals, such as scrupulously washing his hands before he ate. He believed that doing so was a sign of his holiness and closeness to God. But it wasn't. His heart was one that was filled with judgment and self-righteousness. He looked down on others and elevated himself. In doing so, he deceived others and even deceived himself. The central message we must take from this is that we must diligently focus upon that which is in our hearts. Our hearts, our interior life, must be blooming with love of God and others. We must place all of our efforts on cultivating a sincere life of virtue within. This is done by prayer and humility. Humility will open our eyes to see the truth of who we are. Prayer will strengthen us to change as we see that which needs to be changed within. Only then, when we see clearly the truth of who we are and prayerfully rely upon grace obtained by prayer, will we be able to become people of true integrity and holiness. And only then will our interior holiness be made manifest externally in our actions. Reflect, today, upon these powerful words of Jesus: “You fools!” Don't be offended by these words; they are words of love from our Lord. They are His fierce attempt to wake this Pharisee up and lead him away from his hypocrisy. Listen to these words as if they were also spoken to you. Every one of us can humbly benefit from this loving chastisement from Jesus. Every one of us needs to humbly be transformed more fully interiorly. Let Jesus' words speak to you and reveal to you the ways that you need to change. Perhaps your pride has led you to an interior practice of judgment of others. Perhaps it has blinded you to sins that you need to confess. If you can listen to these words as if they were spoken to you, then Jesus' fervor will reach you, and your eyes will be opened to that which is in your soul that needs to be changed. Do not turn a blind eye to this. Be open, be humble and listen. My fervent Lord, You spoke words of love in many ways. At times You were gentle and at times You were firm. Please give me the grace and humility I need to be open to Your firm rebukes of love. Help me to sincerely see the ways in which I need to change my life so that Your grace will transform my interior life, flowing over into my actions. I love You, dear Lord. Help me to love You more. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Luca Signorelli, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

What happens when you forget who you are in Christ? In Identity, Ruslan KD unpacks Ephesians 1 to reveal how our true identity isn't achieved by performance—it's received through Jesus. When we lose sight of that truth, it's like being locked out of the life God designed for us.Discover how to:
God is setting up your showdown. This is a climactic moment where God proves His sovereignty. Touré Roberts built upon his teaching from last week, reminding us that a showdown isn't merely conflict — it's a decisive encounter where you stop wrestling with circumstances and start witnessing God's power. In 1 Kings 17, we see that Elijah arrives fully mature, fully certified by heaven. And that authority came from radical consecration, radical obedience, and radical boldness. Elijah mastered God's presence through worship. He set the Lord before him constantly, cultivating an intimate relationship that qualified him for his assignment. Then comes obedience. When God speaks, provision follows. The prophetic word Elijah spoke wasn't optional; it was provisional. In whatever showdown you find yourself: Believe the Lord and you will prosper.

You may not be in a setback — you might be in a showdown. If you feel like you've let life push you around long enough, you may have entered a “Showdown Season” — a time when God is calling His people to stand in faith and reveal His power in the face of impossible odds. Drawing from 1 Kings 18:19–39, Pastor Touré unpacks Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal to show how God uses tension, pressure, and uncertainty as the stage for His glory. When we stop wavering between opinions and fully trust that “the Lord, He is God,” revival breaks out. This is a word for anyone standing between fear and faith, hesitation and action. God is stripping away emotional crutches and calling His people back to confidence, conviction, and clarity. It's time to rise in boldness, because the same Spirit that answered Elijah by fire still works through you.

This week, Walk It Out Wednesday brings together Dr. Valerie Crumpton, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Oscar Williams to dive deeper into Pastor Touré Roberts' two-part message “On the Other Side of Endurance.” This powerful panel unpacks the book of Matthew and its five discourses leading up to Matthew 24. The conversation centers on Jesus' promise that if we remain steadfast in faith, we will be saved. As they discuss key themes of perspective, persistence, and perseverance, Dr. Williams reminds us that salvation is about staying under the trial and enduring until the end. Dr. Crumpton goes on to reflect on her life and how every test has shaped her, and Pastor Johnson emphasizes perception — that whenever God says “but” He's turning things around. The questions that sparked this spiritually sound discussion include: How should believers handle seasons of shaking? How do we discern between attacks meant to derail us and trials meant to shape us? What habits keep our hearts pure, so our love doesn't grow cold. Through it all, the reminder stands clear: We don't live for victory, but from victory.

What do you do when the very thing God promised you seems to die in your arms? Our founding pastor Bishop T.D. Jakes dissects 2 Kings 4:18-27, teaching us about a wealthy woman whose son — her miracle — suddenly dies. She doesn't bury him. She doesn't call a doctor. She lays him in the room of the prophet who prophesied to her womb. Bishop Jakes walks us through this powerful text. One woman's oil kept flowing as long as there were empty vessels. Another woman, who seemed to lack nothing externally, still had a hidden poverty: the absence of a child. Whether you're broke in the bank or your heart, poverty can touch any of us. But the Word of God has no limits — God only stops pouring when there's nothing left to fill. Sometimes the prophetic word carries life that even death can't cancel. This is a word that will stir your faith, confront your doubts, and remind you that God has more supply than you have need. Don't give up on what the Lord said. Your turnaround is still possible.

What do you do when it feels like your prayers aren't breaking through? In this week's Walk It Out Wednesday, Sarah Jakes Roberts revisits her message “Break the Barrier” and goes deeper into what true repentance looks like in our everyday lives. She unpacks the barriers that block our sound — shame, pride, ignoring conviction, clinging to old identities — and shows us how humility positions us for revival. Through practical teaching and real questions like “How do I move forward from shame?” and “What do I do when I feel stagnant?” we learn that God never disowns us, even in our failures, and His Spirit gives us the power to release a sound that heaven cannot ignore. Touré Roberts then adds a powerful reflection on the Feasts of the Lord and how their prophetic meaning points us back to Christ. Together, we closed our churchwide fast with communion — a reminder that this is a season for alignment, renewal, and fresh encounter with God. Don't miss this intimate and timely conversation.

What do we do when life's pain silences us and chokes our praise?In “Break the Barrier,” Sarah Jakes Roberts challenges us to push back against darkness by releasing the sound heaven cannot ignore.In 2 Chronicles 7, we see how God responds when His people humble themselves, pray, and lift their voices. The Holy Spirit helps us interpret what we're exposed to, cut through the noise, and declare God's truth with power.But too often, barriers like fear, pride, and shame hold us back. We forget that we're still God's people, called by His name even when we fall short. With emotional transparency, SJR reminds us: It's not about perfection — it's about repentance and faith that speaks.Your praise is more than words — it's a wave that breaks through heaviness, strengthens others, and reaches the heart of God. When we prophesy His promises over our lives and communities, revival takes root.Don't miss this timely and vulnerable message — because when God's people release their sound together, barriers fall and His Spirit moves.Message: “Break the Barrier”Scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:12-15 (NKJV)Speaker: Sarah Jakes RobertsDate: Sept. 21, 2025✨ Welcome to Your Moment of TransformationYou don't have to walk this journey alone.

We are God's change agents in the earth. During this week's Walk It Out Wednesday, Touré Roberts takes us deeper into his Sunday word, “The Power to Change,” and reminds us that breakthrough is less about what happens around us and more about being spiritually revived. He also explores our heart health and the need for our faith to be activated so we can walk in the power of God. He breaks down how God's word flows like water, confirmed by His Spirit and revealed in stillness.You too may want to know:· What are some examples of keeping your heart healthy?· How do you heal a sick heart?· How do you know what God wants you to do, and know that He's directing you to it?The most powerful people in God are those who withhold nothing from Him. All you need is a word from God, and this intimate conversation is just that.
