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.

On Celebration Sunday and the first day of our 10-Day Corporate Fast, Pastor Touré Roberts brings a powerful word from Proverbs 13:12 on “The Power to Change.” Scripture reminds us that “hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.”This message calls us to recognize that every anointed person is carrying something — and to step into breakthrough, we must make room for what God wants to do. As we begin our fast, we must know that fasting isn't just about sacrifice, but about capacity, alignment, and stewarding our resources for the season ahead. Pastor Touré reminds us that the tension of delay and disappointment is not wasted — it's the very space where God develops us, positions us, and prepares us for transformation. When we keep our hearts healthy, pain becomes the launching pad for abundance.

Acts 20:17-21, 27-35 As Pastor Daniel gave his final sermon as Senior Pastor at Immanuel, he reminded us that the church is the people. Serving the people means serving Jesus. Don't serve the institution, serve the Lord of the institution. Be with the Jesus who inspired the Scriptures. Read the Word and listen to God. Allow the words of Jesus to dwell in you richly so that it overflows to others. Be a faithful presence when the Body of Christ gathers. Let Jesus be your center.

During this Walk It Out Wednesday service, our pastoral panel of Dr. Valerie Crumpton, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, and Pastor Don Johnson (along with Dr. Cynthia James and moderator Anthony Olds) dive into Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts' Sunday message “Make a Move.” Together, they explore what it means to live with a faith that moves. The panel reflects on Genesis 12 and Mark 9, which show us that God responds to our faith no matter the measure. From Abram's shaky beginnings to the desperate father who cried, “I believe, help my unbelief,” they remind us that grace fills in where our faith feels weak. Even when fear, grief, or default behaviors cloud our choices, God's promises remain. And when faith feels stagnant, it may be because we haven't taken the step God is waiting on. Pastor Sarah's message reminded us all: Faith is more than belief; it's a verb. Every move we make in trust opens the door for God's power to meet us.Have you ever wanted to know:• How do I make a move I can trust when I'm dealing with the fear of failure?• What do you do when you know God has power to do all things but struggle to believe He willdo it for you?Don't miss this deep dive that will build your courage, stretch your faith, and remind you that one move with God can change everything!Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: Make a Move”Speakers: Dr. Valerie Crumpton, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Don Johnson, Dr. Cynthia James, and Anthony OldsDate: Sept. 10, 2025Welcome to Your Moment of TransformationYou don't have to walk this journey alone.

"Let Jesus Bring You Out" | Pastor Jonathan M. Anderson, Sr. | September 7, 2025 by Pastor Jonathan M. Anderson, Sr.

We often view those spiritual leaders in our lives who pray consistently and frequently as never having any doubt about who they are praying to. In our mind, they have their act together. Well, in today's sermon, Pastor Bill teaches that sometimes there's more to it than meets the eye. Doubt is common, and when it creeps in, it doesn't make you any less Christian. When that happens, follow the path of the father who cried to Jesus to help his unbelief. Let Jesus heal your doubts.

Jesus draws near to us as a gentle healer, bearing wounds of His own. He enters not by force, but with the quiet grace of one who knows the burden of grief and the chill of despair. Into the very heart of our affliction He steps, not to scorn it, but to sanctify it. By His touch, the bitter is made sweet, and what was broken begins to mend. For such is His purpose: not to shield us from pain, but to dwell within it with us, and from within, to transform us into creatures of light, made new as sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

Send us a textSo many people never find God because they don't want to be found by Him. Everyone needs to know that Christ accepts us just as we are. All we need to do is come to Him.He loves us as we are and He is the One who will make the changes in our lives once we begin a relationship with Him.Never let negative feelings about yourself keep you from Him. Jesus even said "I did not come for those who are well but for those who need a physician.

In John 13, Jesus kneels to wash His disciples' feet, revealing the depth of His love and the freedom He came to bring. In this message, Pastor Ike Miller unpacks how Jesus covers our shame, cleanses us, and sets us free.

Fear can paralyze us or push us into striving and control. This week, Beth and Steph invite you into a conversation about fear and faith, reminding us that we don't face the unknown alone. Jesus is trustworthy. He's with you. Let's lean into that truth together.What's making your heart race lately? Is there something you're fearing, dreading, or unsure about?

Unity is the spiritual force at the heart of God's kingdom, made possible by the cross. In this piercing message, Pastor Sheryl Brady reminds us: unity isn't optional in the kingdom; it's essential. The cross is the centerpiece of our faith. It tears down every wall, breaks every stronghold, and launches an unstoppable connection to God through the Holy Spirit. Before going to the cross, Jesus' final instructions for His church and His family centered on love and unity. His last prayer was that we would be one. Pastor Brady challenges us to carry that same spirit, to fight for one another, stand together, and genuinely care for our neighbors. Unity, she explains, is the precious anointing that invites God's commanded blessing. Unity requires commitment, not just proximity. Where there is true unity, there is divine favor that makes rich and adds no sorrow. Watch now to learn how to be a keeper of unity and receive strength for your journey.

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, and thanks for joining us on this seventh day of August, day 220 in our journey through the Scriptures. I'm Hunter, your host and Bible reading coach, here to spend some meaningful time with you in God's Word. Today, we're delving into Zephaniah chapters 1 through 3 and John chapter 9. Together, we'll explore powerful themes: God's judgment, restoration, and the surprising ways He reveals Himself, even in our darkest moments. As we read about the dire warnings to Jerusalem and the miracle of the man born blind, we're invited to let go of false ideas about God and discover His true nature—one of love, restoration, and self-giving grace. Stay tuned as we open our hearts, let the Bible direct our gaze to Jesus, and pray for eyes to see the light of the world anew. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He opens our eyes to the truth of who God is. What is God to do with a world trapped in darkness, unable to see, fumbling after answers and lost beneath lies about who he is? Many of us, even those who have walked with God, labor under the false assumption that God is distant, angry, and waiting to punish us, that his aim is to make an example out of us for our sins or our parents' mistakes. But when Jesus steps onto the scene, he is the light of the world, shining in our darkness—a living answer to every doubt and misbelief about God's heart. We witness this firsthand in John 9, as Jesus bends to the earth, forms mud from his own spit and the dust, and spreads it across a blind man's eyes. What was lifeless and incapable of sight is remade by the hands of God, and suddenly the impossible happens—this man sees. The very power of God is revealed in this healing, but it's not just a physical miracle. This is a sign. Jesus is showing us what he longs to do for each of us: to remove the scales from our eyes, to free us from crippling untruths about the Father, and to welcome us into the radiant light of his presence. Yet, so often, lies keep us bound in darkness. Religion might paint God in the colors of our own fears, as if he is more interested in punishment than in restoration, as if he is more judge than Father. But Jesus shows us something utterly different—self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. When we look at Jesus, we are seeing the heart of the Father. As he told Philip: “If you've seen me, you've seen the Father.” There is no shadow side to God, no surprise cruelty or hidden rage, only the faithful love we see in Jesus. Are you weary of the darkness, of striving and fearing separation? Let Jesus open your eyes today. Let him show you who God really is: the one who heals, who welcomes, who sings over you with joy. You are not separate or abandoned; you're invited into his light, already embraced in his love. This is the prayer I carry for my own soul, for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And it is the prayer I hold for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.   OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Message by pastor Blake Andrews

We don't need to guess what Jesus thought about the end times—He laid it out clearly in Matthew 24. Not with cryptic riddles, but with heartfelt warnings. He wasn't trying to scare us… He was preparing us. So today, we're digging into what Jesus said—and what He meant—for those who follow Him in these last days.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“See that no one leads you astray.” — Matthew 24:4 (ESV)Before Jesus talked about wars or famines or earthquakes, the very first warning He gave in Matthew 24 was about deception. That should get our attention. In fact, He says it multiple times throughout the chapter. “Many will come in My name…” “False prophets will arise…” “Even the elect could be deceived…”Why the emphasis? Because Jesus knew the last days would be noisy. Loud voices. Bold claims. Religious jargon cloaked in falsehood. If we're not grounded, we'll get pulled in.But then Jesus shifts gears. He says, yes—there will be wars and famines. Nation against nation. Lawlessness. Betrayal. Persecution. But He doesn't say, “Run.” He says, “Endure.” “Stand firm.” “Lift up your head.”Jesus never said this would be easy. He said it would be worth it.And here's the most beautiful part—right in the middle of all the warnings, He says the Gospel will be preached to the ends of the earth. Yes, there's shaking. But there's also sending. God is raising up a people who will preach with boldness while others hide in fear.This is our time. This is our assignment. Not to decode every symbol—but to live every day with urgency, with holiness, and with compassion for the lost.Question of the Day:Which of Jesus' warnings in Matthew 24 feels most relevant to you today?Mini Call to Action:Take 10 minutes today to read Matthew 24 out loud. Don't skim it. Read it slowly. Let Jesus' words speak directly to your spirit.Let's Pray:Lord Jesus, thank You for Your warnings and Your wisdom. Help me not to live in fear, but in faith. Let me be rooted in truth and bold in love, standing ready for Your return. Amen.Let's Get To Work!Jesus didn't warn us to paralyze us—He warned us to prepare us. Now it's our move.

In this message, Pastor Ike Miller explores the powerful moment in John 9 when Jesus heals a man born blind–not just physically, but spiritually. Through this story, we're challenged to consider what "billboard" our lives are projecting and whether we'll allow Jesus to rewrite our story with new vision and purpose. Will you let Jesus change your life?

There are very real pitfalls. Those of apathy...of distraction...misalignment...misjudgments...and the like. To let Jesus in, is something we have to contend for, hold on to, and adamantly desire. The Christian life is just that, a lifestyle.   By Brook Stockert

There might be some shame and self-doubt, but an encounter with Jesus is going to leave you forever changed. I want us to consider if there are any places of failure in our lives that are still hanging over us, weighing us down, causing some shame. Let Jesus meet you in that place today.

Have you ever faced the heartbreak of a dream that didn't come true? That kind of grief is real, and it runs deep. But I want you to know—you are not alone. Jesus Himself understands sorrow. The Bible tells us that He was… …a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. He knows what it is to weep, to feel the weight of heavy loss. And yet, He promises that sorrow is not the end of your story. If you're walking through grief right now, don't rush past it. Let Jesus carry you through it, and that will bring you healing and peace, and a joy that will be restored at just the right time. You can begin your new life with Jesus today. Invite Jesus to transform your life and carry you in your grief. You are not alone. You are seen, and you are loved. And there is hope ahead for you. Always remember, there is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau. "He was despised and rejected—     a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.     He was despised, and we did not care."

Today's episode of the sunshine would like to talk about surrendering to Jesus Christ and make him Lord and master over your life and through the Holy Spirit he will heal you from the inside out. May God bless you and keep you to stay and remember share a little sunshine.

In this powerful message on transformation, we're reminded that change is not just possible, but essential to our Christian walk.The key scripture, 2 Corinthians 3:18, beautifully illustrates how we are 'being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.' This gradual process of becoming more like Christ is compared to an acorn's slow but mighty ability to break through concrete. We're challenged to reframe our thinking, rewire our emotions, and redress our behaviors. The story of Peter's transformation from denial to martyrdom serves as a poignant example of God's patient work in our lives. How encouraging to know that God's divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life! Let's embrace this journey of change, trusting that He who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion.Website: https://impact.church

Week 4 of the Series Through It All. A Message by Max Lucado.

Week 4 of the Series Through It All. A Message by Max Lucado.

In this powerful message titled “Subverting Expectations,” we are reminded that God rarely moves how we expect—but always moves with purpose. Drawing from recent encounters in the “Super Normal Natural” series at Rock City Church, Pastor Jordan Deal explores the tension between our desire for control and God's call to surrender. True Lordship requires yielding every area of life to Him—our plans, timing, desires, even our understanding of leadership. God often hides His glory in places we least expect: in our pain, in the ordinary, and in people we might overlook—including children. Through scriptural examples like Elijah's encounter with the still small voice and Jesus' transfiguration, we see that God intentionally subverts expectations to draw us closer, deepen our faith, and form us into vessels of glory. This sermon calls for repentance—not from sin alone—but from our rigid expectations of how God should work. Ultimately, we're invited to live a life fully yielded to Christ, trusting that His unexpected ways are far better than anything we could imagine. Let Jesus interrupt your expectations—and meet you right where you least expect Him.

Read OnlineJesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9:35–36Jesus was quite zealous for souls. Zeal is an energy, a passion and a drive to accomplish some task. The task that Jesus was zealous for was the conversion of every heart that He encountered. As He walked from town to town, encountering person after person, Jesus could see into their hearts. He saw that so many people were “troubled and abandoned.” He could see they were like “sheep without a shepherd.” And this moved Him to compassion with a zeal to become their Shepherd, to remove the trouble from their hearts and to let them know they were invited to belong to His new Kingdom.The image of Jesus encountering numerous people who were troubled and abandoned is a good image to ponder. The reason is that this is us. Each one of us has our own interior troubles. We can feel alone, confused, uncertain and lost at times. The person who doesn't feel this way is either a perfect saint or is not being honest. Deep holiness and union with God does, of course, cure this interior struggle that many have. In that case, the person clearly knows they belong to the family of God, understands himself or herself as a son or daughter of God, and finds deep peace in this truth. But for those who struggle, this Scripture passage is especially for you.First of all, to be “troubled” could be caused by many things. For some, they struggle with memories of the past, broken relationships, a lack of direction, serious sin, anger and the like. So the first question to honestly ponder is whether or not you have a troubled heart. Even the greatest of saints will find some areas they struggle with. So what is that for you?Secondly, feeling “abandoned” is a heavy cross. The reason Jesus came was to enable us to belong to His family. That is accomplished by the gift of eternal salvation which must begin now. By receiving the forgiveness of sins and growing in a life of prayer, we come to know God in a very intimate and personal way. Yes, He is the Almighty God and Creator of all. But He is also deeply personal and intimate, and He wants to form a real relationship of love with you.If you struggle with either of these, being troubled and/or abandoned, then consider the zeal that Jesus has for you. His tireless and extensive travels, by foot, while He was engaging in His public ministry, should be seen as a sign to you of His zeal to come to you, personally, to become your Shepherd. He wants to lift every burden and clear the way for you to discover your place in His family. The “Gospel of the Kingdom” that Jesus preached was one that invited everyone to become a member of that Kingdom. As He comes to you, know that His heart is filled with compassion for you, just as it was when He traveled the countryside so long ago. He sees you, gazes at your heart with love, and never takes His eyes off of you in your need, weakness and sin.Reflect, today, upon the zeal that Jesus has for your own eternal salvation and holiness of life. You cannot make it through this world without Him. Let Jesus seek you out, come to you, speak to you and invite you to allow Him to shepherd you. He wants to do so with every fiber of His being; let Jesus fulfill His mission in you.My divine Shepherd, You seek out all people with the greatest of zeal and compassion. You see every hurting and broken heart, and You desire to heal each one. Thank You for coming to me, dear Lord, for being my Shepherd and Guide. Help me to see You as You gaze at me in my weakness and pain. And help me to open my heart to You now and throughout my life. I love You, my Lord. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Rembrandt, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
