This powerful panel with Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Oscar Williams highlights an enlightening truth: The enemy shakes those who walk closest to Jesus. When we go through this process, it isn't punishment; it's purification. The wind, storms, and rain we experience remove what should never have been attached to us in the first place. Our panel reminds us that Judas and Peter faced the same shaking. Both failed. But only one recovered. Your failures don't define who you are. What matters is what happens next. God has something on the other side of the shaking. Questions Discussed: • Why am I under attack when I'm doing everything right? • What do you do when you're in between two blessings? • How does recovery lead to empathy for others? Speakers: Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Oscar Williams Scripture: Luke 22:31-34 (NKJV) Date: Sept. 30, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone.

Daryl speaks about we can see things dimly, but our reality is clear in Jesus. We were disinherited from our sinful nature and we received as our inheritance the righteousness of God. God is not afraid of our sin, sin does not separate us from God.

Before our worries began, before this day began, You were there. You are not distant from us now. Father, draw near to people in Germany, Australia, Kenya, Hungary, New Zealand and Nigeria. Some are searching for meaning, some are carrying private grief, and some simply need to know that God is near. Meet them in the ordinary places of this morning and let the presence of Jesus become more real than the pressure around them. Jesus, speak into the places where doubt has grown. When we ask whether You are listening, gently remind us who You are. When fear tells us that we are alone, bring us back to Your presence. When life feels confusing, anchor us in the truth that everything was made through You and that our lives are known by You. Holy Spirit, turn our attention away from the noise that constantly competes for our hearts. Give us a quiet confidence that does not depend on having every answer. Let our words carry grace, our choices carry wisdom, and our relationships carry something of the love of Christ. Father, we give You this morning. Be at the centre of our thoughts, our conversations and our decisions. Let Jesus be more than a name we speak; let Him be the One around whom this day is built. We walk forward with quiet faith, knowing that the Word who was in the beginning is with us now. Amen. Gentle pause before the 12:00 p.m. prayer. Blessing May Jesus be close to you today, may faith rise where doubt has been troubling you, and may the presence of God steady your heart.

God calls some of us to be first. But at what cost? Sarah Jakes Roberts unpacks Jesus' warning to Peter: “Satan wants to sift you.” He wants to shake your identity, your insecurities, and your purpose until you forget who you are. The point is deception. If the enemy shakes you violently enough, you won't remember what God has called you to be. But here's what Jesus prayed for: not that Peter wouldn't be sifted, but for Peter's faith. And that's the turning point. Most of us have placed our faith in ourselves instead of God. And if that's the case, then when we fail, our faith fails with it. We're devastated because we put all our hope in our own capacity. Jesus is calling us to move our faith FROM ourselves TO Him. Because He's praying for you right now. What breaks when your faith in yourself breaks? Watch to discover how you should replace it.

Perhaps we accomplished much; perhaps very little went according to plan. Yet beneath everything we have done is a deeper question: what am I here for? Where does my life fit within Your purposes? Lord, meet people in South Korea, Spain, Zimbabwe, Austria, Brazil and the United States who are asking that question tonight. Meet the person who feels lost, the parent wondering whether their ordinary work matters, the older person wondering what their next season holds, and the younger person searching for direction. Let Your hope speak more deeply than disappointment. Jesus, remind us that our value is not measured by applause, achievement or comparison. We are created in You. Our lives can become places where Your goodness is expressed in ways we may never fully see. A conversation, a kindness, a faithful decision, a prayer offered quietly — none of these are insignificant when surrendered to You. Holy Spirit, breathe fresh purpose into tired hearts. Where disappointment has made someone question their future, bring perspective. Where comparison has stolen joy, restore freedom. Where failure has become an identity, let grace tell a different story. Show us the good work that belongs to this season, without making us carry tomorrow tonight. Father, we surrender our ambitions and our disappointments to You. Teach us to recognise purpose in the ordinary and faithfulness in the small things. We do not need to become someone else to be useful in Your hands. Let hope rise as this evening comes. Let Jesus be at the centre of our identity, our calling and our future. And when tomorrow comes, give us grace to take the next step You place before us. We trust You with the life You have given us. In Jesus' name, Amen. Gentle pause before the 8:00 p.m. prayer. Blessing May God remind you tonight that your life has purpose, may Jesus anchor your identity, and may hope rise again as you look towards tomorrow.

Prayer puts us in alignment with the One who is always winning. In this powerful night of worship, prayer, and ministry, we're called to keep praying, keep watching, and keep building — even when we feel the answer won't come. We're reminded that walking with God means learning His voice, moving in His timing, closing the gaps, and staying faithful to what He's called us to build. This is not a season to retreat or get distracted. It's a time to pray with expectation, stay spiritually alert, and keep moving with God. Don't let delay talk you out of what you've been praying for. Stay locked in.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible. Today is September 22nd, day 265 of our journey through the Scriptures, and there are just 100 days left in the year. Our readings today are Daniel 9–11, Psalm 123, and Luke 5. Daniel is carrying a tremendous weight. He looks back upon the ruins of his people and forward into visions of things he can barely comprehend. At one point, the sheer weight of it all leaves him without strength. And then God meets him. Daniel receives another touch. "Don't be afraid," he is told. "You are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!" And Daniel says that as these words are spoken, his strength returns. Psalm 123 gives us another picture of dependence. The psalmist lifts his eyes toward God, looking for mercy. Then in Luke 5, people come to Jesus carrying their own burdens. There are exhausted fishermen with empty nets. There is a man covered with leprosy. There is a paralyzed man whose friends carry him through a roof. There is Levi, the tax collector, sitting at his booth. Again and again, Jesus meets people where they are and gives them something they cannot manufacture for themselves. Healing. Forgiveness. Calling. Belonging. Strength. Maybe that's the invitation for us today. We don't have to manufacture what we don't have. We can open our hands and receive another touch. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He Gives Us a Second Touch Daniel was overwhelmed by what he saw. The vision God had given him. The enormity of what was behind him. The uncertainty of what was ahead. The ruins of the past. The challenges of the present. All of it left Daniel saying: "My strength is gone. I can hardly breathe." Have you ever felt that way? You look ahead at something that seems impossible. Or maybe you look behind you at something painful, something broken, something you wish had gone differently. And you feel paralyzed. Frightened. Unable to move. Maybe you can hardly catch your breath. If you've ever been there, you're not alone. Daniel was there too. But then something beautiful happens. Daniel says: "Then the one who looked like a man touched me again, and I felt my strength returning." He touched me again. A second touch. And then Daniel hears these words: "Don't be afraid. You are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!" And as Daniel listens, his strength returns. I love that. Daniel doesn't find the strength somewhere inside himself. He doesn't grit his teeth and try harder. He doesn't give himself a motivational speech. Strength comes to him. It is received. God meets him in his weakness. And maybe that's what some of us need today. Another touch. Maybe you've been walking with God for years. Maybe you've experienced grace before. Maybe you know what it is to be carried by love. But today you're tired again. That's okay. Sometimes we need another touch. Sometimes we need to hear again what we've heard before. Don't be afraid. You are precious to God. Peace. Be encouraged. Be strong. And when I turn to Luke 5, I see Jesus doing this everywhere he goes. He meets Peter after a night of empty nets. He touches the man with leprosy. He speaks forgiveness to the paralyzed man. He looks at Levi sitting at the tax collector's booth and says, "Follow me." Jesus keeps moving toward people. Touching. Healing. Forgiving. Calling. Restoring. Giving people what they cannot give themselves. Maybe you need that today. Maybe the road ahead looks daunting. Maybe the road behind carries shame or regret. Maybe you're simply tired. Open your hands. You don't have to manufacture strength. You can receive it. Let Jesus meet you where you are. Let him touch the place that is tired. Let him speak again: Don't be afraid. You are precious to God. Peace. Be encouraged. Be strong. And maybe your prayer today can be very simple: "Yes, Lord. Thank you. I receive your love. I receive your peace. I receive your strength." Sometimes we need a second touch. And sometimes a third. And a fourth. Grace keeps coming. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have 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.

What if the clearest evidence of your spiritual maturity isn't how you act at church—but how you speak at home? We can project one version of ourselves to the world, but eventually the mask comes off around the people closest to us. And our words reveal what's really happening inside. In The Language of Your Home, we unpack Ephesians 4:29–32 and discover why following Jesus should transform not only what we believe, but how we speak to our spouses, our children and the people we love most. You'll discover three practical biblical principles: • Let Jesus deal with what's in your heart. • Choose words that build up instead of tearing down. • Slow down and learn to speak grace. Because sometimes the most spiritual thing you can say in a difficult moment is: "Give me a minute. I want to respond well." What would happen if our homes became places where people consistently heard words that were good, helpful and life-giving? Listen now and ask God to change not only your words—but the heart those words come from. Connect with One Church and take your next step: www.youronechurch.com

Luke 13: 6-9, “Then Jesus told this story: ‘A man planted a fig tree in his garden and came again and again to see if there was any fruit on it, but he was always disappointed. Finally, he said to his gardener, ‘I’ve waited three years, and there hasn’t been a single fig! Cut it down. It’s just taking up space in the garden.’ The gardener answered, ‘Sir, give it one more chance. Leave it another year, and I’ll give it special attention and plenty of fertilizer. If we get figs next year, fine. If not, then you can cut it down.'” This is a story about grace. But this is also a story about final chances. My friend, don’t waste God’s grace – you do have a role in this. Your role is fruit. God expects fruit. Just as a fig tree is expected to produce figs, as daughters of a good good Father, we are expected to grow good things in our lives. As girls who have received mercy, we are expected to be merciful. As girls who have been blessed, we are expected to become a blessing. Fruit is evidence of who you are and what you carry. Who you are is a girl who has been chosen and set apart by God. As a follower of Jesus, what you carry is the Holy Spirit. Yes, the same power that created the entire universe now lives within you, prompting you and willing you to do good things. His Spirit inside of us naturally grows good fruit in our lives called the fruits of the Holy Spirit: Peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. If these fruits are not growing in your life, there’s a problem. Just as it would be a problem for a fig tree not to grow figs, there’s a problem when you’re not growing in these good things. So, what’s the problem here? God wants to give you time to help you grow. The owner is right to expect fruit. The whole purpose of having an orchard or a vineyard is for the fruit. He’s not ridiculous or demanding – he’s righteous. And he’ even patient. Notice Jesus tells the story and says the owner had waited three years, but there hadn’t been a single fig grow on this tree. Three years. Three full seasons with nothing growing. The owner had been patient, but there was still no fruit. And the owner notices. Think of the owner as God – think of that fig tree as you. God sees you. He knows precisely where you are – afterall honey, he planted you. He is the one who gave you life. He chose you. And it was all for a purpose. You are here in his garden for the purpose of growing and producing goodness. Peace should be growing in your life. Patience should be multiplying. Kindness should be increasing. Faithfulness should be seen in you. Gentleness should be covering you. And self-control should be growing more and more. But if you’re not – God is asking why? He’s been watching and waiting. Graciously giving you more time. Three years, Jesus says. Three full seasons with nothing growing. Why is that? So, the gardener gets involved personally. Who is this gardener? Think of him as Jesus. Jesus takes a personal interest in you. He says, “Give her another chance. I’ll give her special attention.” Imagine that for a moment – Jesus is personally involved in caring for you so that you grow and produce goodness in your life. Jesus interceeds for us – he speaks to the Father for us. He asks for more time to be allotted for us. Looking back, I see years I’ve wasted. Years I was self-absorbed in selfish pursuits and producing a whole lot of nothing good in my life. Years when my priorities were so out of alignment that the Holy Spirit had no space to grow anything in me. And yet, Jesus personally attended to me. He patiently worked with me. He gave me chance after chance, until finally I began to grow as I was created to. Can you see how patient God has been with you? Can you see the work Jesus has done for you personally? Can you see the seasons of stupidity Jesus has walked through with you, never giving up? Imagine the times Jesus must have interceeded for you – “Father, I know she doesn’t look like it right now, but with a little more time and care, she’s going to grow. Her fruit is coming. Let me work with her.” You and I have been covered in grace and mercy. For all the times we didn’t get it right, we were given another chance. For all the times we didn’t show up the way we were supposed to, we were given grace. For all the times we were trying to be something we were never created to be, we were gently reminded who we really are. But remember this, mercy doesn’t eliminate accountability. The gardener asks for more time for this struggling tree, but with time the tree is still expected to produce fruit. The tree isn’t offered this precious space forever. The gardener offers his extra effort, his personal care, his direct involvement – but it is limited. The final chance will come and then there will be accountability. But here’s where this gets real, girl what are you doing with your extra year? What are you doing with the grace you’ve been given? What are you doing with the second chances, the third chances, the fourth chances? What are you doing with all the times Jesus has stepped in and said, “Give her a little more time. Let Me work on her”? Don’t waste the grace. Don’t mistake God’s patience for permission to stay the same. If Jesus is tending to you, let Him tend to you. If He’s digging around some hard places in your heart, let Him dig. If He’s exposing something that needs to go, don’t cover it back up. If He’s pointing out an attitude, a habit, a wound, an offense, a selfish desire, or an area where you’ve been stubbornly doing things your own way – don’t argue with the Gardener. He really does know what’s good for you. Let Him work. Because here’s the thing about a gardener: he doesn’t just stare at the tree and hope it gets better. He gets his hands dirty. He digs around the roots. He breaks up the hard soil. He cuts away what is dead. He creates the conditions for life. And he adds fertilizer. Yes fertilizer. Do you know what fertilizer is? I grew up on a farm and I can tell you precisely what fertilizer is – it’s crap. Legit crap. When added to a field, the crops grow bigger, faster, stronger, and they produce more. Look around, Sis – are you dealing with some crap right now? Could it be fertilizer to help you grow? Could this be the gardener stepping in with his personal care to create an environment where you produce goodness? It’s so easy for us to assume the things that really stink in our life are punishment – but maybe they’re fertilizer. Looking back, I see nothing helped me grow more than those hard times. The times when we didn’t know how we were going to pay rent. The times when we had no answers, only prayer. The times when if God didn’t bring us through, we weren’t getting through. Those were some stinky, honestly pretty crappy times – but wow, did I ever grow. Okay, Jesus, was that my fertilizer? Was that you being patient with me? Was that actually helping me, not punishing me? And pruning – oh don’t even get me started. I bet he’s cut some things out of your life too, hasn’t he? Sometimes the uncomfortable thing He’s asking you to surrender is actually the very thing keeping you from becoming fruitful. Sometimes He has to disturb your comfortable little life so He can get down to the roots. Sometimes He has to expose what you’ve been hiding because He loves you too much to let it keep producing nothing. Don’t resist the Gardener. He’s not trying to hurt you. He’s trying to make you fruitful. And notice something else: the gardener doesn’t say, “Give her another year and I’ll make her look like a fig tree.” He says, essentially, I’ll give her what she needs to become what she was created to be. That’s the goal. God isn’t asking you to become someone else. He’s not asking you to manufacture a fake version of yourself that looks spiritual on the outside. He’s asking you to become the woman He created you to be—and to allow His Spirit to produce what only He can produce in you. You don’t have to force fruit. Let Jesus do his work in you. Let Him change the way you think. Let Him soften your heart. Let Him heal what has been wounded. Let Him confront what has been selfish. Let Him strengthen what has been weak. Let Him teach you patience when you’d rather lose your mind. Let Him grow kindness when somebody is being really, really annoying. Let Him develop self-control when everything in you wants to spin out of control. So maybe today you need to stop and ask the Gardener a question: “Jesus, what’s keeping me from being fruitful?” Not, “What’s wrong with everybody else?” Not, “Why is he so annoying?” Not, “Why can’t they just get their act together?” Nope. Start with you. “Jesus, what’s happening in my heart?” “Where have I become hard?” “Where am I resisting You?” “What needs to be dug up?” “What needs to be cut away?” “What are You trying to grow in me?” How do you want to use this fertilizer? And then—this is important—let Him answer. Because the beautiful thing about this parable is that the tree isn’t abandoned. The Gardener is still there. He’s still working. He’s still giving grace. He’s still tending. He’s still believing that something good can grow. But don’t waste the season. There is a point when the extra year is over. There is a point when grace gives way to accountability. There is a point when the question is no longer, “Will she produce fruit?” but “What did she do with everything she was given?” Girl, you have been given so much. You have been given grace upon grace. Mercy upon mercy. Another chance upon another chance. You have been planted intentionally, loved deeply, chosen completely, and given the very Spirit of God to live inside you. Don’t just take up space in the garden. Grow. Not so you can earn your place in His garden. You already belong there. Bear fruit because you are His girl. Bear fruit because you’ve been loved. Bear fruit because you’ve been forgiven. Bear fruit because you’ve been given another chance. Bear fruit because the Gardener didn’t give up on you.

What if the parts of your story you'd rather hide are the very places where Jesus wants to meet you, heal you, and bring hope to someone else?The tables are turned on this special episode of The Collide Podcast! Former and current Collide staff members Kenna Warren, Kristen Behrends, and Michelle Holladay take over the microphones to interview Willow Weston about the deeply personal story behind her book, Collide: Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt. Willow shares how hiding in a closet from her mom became a pivotal moment that exposed wounds she still needed to heal, how God gave her the words “wounded collision,” and why she believes He asked her to live this message for years before finally writing it. Together, they talk about the courage required to tell the truth about our stories, why healing requires naming our pain, taking small steps of obedience toward a God-given dream, and what Willow has learned after years of watching Jesus meet women in the messiest parts of their lives. Ultimately, Willow wants every woman to know this: you are worthy of healing, Jesus can meet you in your pain, and He can even purpose your story to bring healing and hope to others. Meet Willow WestonWillow Weston is the founder and executive director of Collide, host of The Collide Podcast, and author of Collide. For years, Willow has invited women to get honest about their pain, collide with Jesus in the midst of it, and experience the healing and transformation only He can bring.Her own story is at the heart of that message. What began as a deeply personal journey toward healing eventually grew into a ministry where Willow has watched women bring everything from broken relationships and self-harm to grief and feelings of worthlessness into the light and encounter Jesus there. Her book brings together Willow's childhood experiences, stories of Jesus, and years of witnessing God bring transformation to women's real lives. Key TakeawaysWhen you're tempted to minimize your pain: Give yourself permission to be honest about it. Pain doesn't have to be catastrophic to need healing; even small hurts can accumulate when they're continually ignored. When telling your story feels scary: Remember that honesty can open the door for someone else to be honest too. Willow wrestled for years with how to tell the truth about her childhood without dishonoring the people she loved, but ultimately chose to share because she believes God can use her story to help others find healing. When you want to avoid the hardest parts of your story: Healing requires naming the pain. Writing and repeatedly editing painful memories was exhausting for Willow, but revisiting those places also brought new healing. When God's timing feels incredibly slow: He may be asking you to live the story before you tell it. Willow originally thought she would write this book years ago, but now recognizes that the years of ministry gave her stories and experiences she never could have written about otherwise. When you feel too messy for God: Invite Him into the mess. Willow says the Jesus she has come to know doesn't wait for us to get everything together—He meets us in our pain, wounds, and the chapters we never wanted in our stories. When your pain tells you something is wrong with you: Let Jesus tell you what is true. Pain may whisper that you aren't loved, chosen, or worthy, but Jesus wants to set the record straight. When you wonder if your healing matters to anyone but you: It does. Willow believes that as we allow Jesus to heal our wounds, He can purpose those very stories to help bring hope and healing to others. How This Episode Will Encourage YouJesus wants to collide with the real places of pain in your story and bring the healing, hope, and wholeness you may have thought were impossible. Your healing matters - and as Jesus restores your story, He can use it to bring hope and healing to the people around you too.Mentioned in this episode:Collide Bible Study | A Six Week Journey Toward HealingWhat if your pain is the very place where Jesus wants to meet you?

We can't trust what we see if our eyes aren't fixed on God. In this week's Walk It Out Wednesday, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Cora Jakes, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Val remind us of our true identity as image-bearers of God and that titles mean nothing compared to our character. Throughout the conversation, the panel emphasizes that faithful living is a journey of depending on God for every step. When we call on Him, He shows us great and mighty things. Questions Discussed: What's the difference between a secret and a vision? How do you push through when your calling seems to cause those closest to you to leave?

Your identity in God is everything. When you don't know who you are in Him, the world will define you for you. Sarah Jakes Roberts reveals how Jesus transformed the woman caught in adultery in John 8. He didn't just remove her shame — he evened the playing field and helped her see her new reality. She was no longer under threat. But before she could step forward, she had to come into agreement with what was true. The enemy plants seeds to keep us self-conscious and paralyzed. Jesus uproots those seeds to empower us. Yes, it can feel like exposure. But His intention has always been to set you free. Then Sarah shows us Elisha's secret in 2 Kings 6. He knew who he was in God. He didn't question whether God would show up in crisis. He trusted God's strategy completely, and he even prayed for others to see what God sees. This is the powerful transformation that happens as we mature spiritually. We move from self-consciousness to kingdom impact, from wondering if God shows up to knowing He already has.

The MAG Church Podcast with Pastor J.R. Armstrong | Mauriceville, TX
#magchurch #MauricevilleAllGospelChurch
When Jesus tells a story, you listen. When Jesus repeats 3 stories with the same meaning, you REALLY listen. Every story he told during his time here on Earth was of important purpose, but to repeat the same lesson 3 times in 3 ways tells us Jesus desperately wants us to get this message. Today’s parable is part of that trilogy teaching. The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Lost Son. The teaching of the Lost Sheep was recorded by both Matthew and Luke, so we already looked at that teaching earlier in our series. But now as we look at the accounts of Luke, we see the remaining 2 stories taught back to back by Jesus to the same crowd of people. Who were these people in the crowd, and why would they so desperately need to understand this message? This was a mixed crowd of religious leaders, along with as Luke puts it, “tax collectors and other notorious sinners”. These were people who didn’t mix. Religious leaders of this day made very clear distinctions between who was considered acceptable and who was not—who was “clean” and who was “unclean.” And the people Jesus was attracting—the tax collectors and notorious sinners—were the very people the religious crowd believed should be kept at a distance. They didn’t mix. But as Jesus taught this trilogy of stories about the lost, the sinners came crowding in. The people who had been pushed to the edges were now pressing into the center—right there at the feet of Jesus. Why were the unclean and the sinners coming in? Because for the first time, they were being told they belonged, they mattered, and there was a path for them to be made clean. Up until then, as part of the unclean, they had been pushed to the edges. They were the people you avoided, the people you didn’t touch, the people you didn’t invite to your table. They couldn’t simply blend in with everyone else. Their reputation went ahead of them. Their past followed them. Their failures had become their identity. Imagine that for a moment. Or maybe you don’t have to imagine too hard because this is a story you continually tell yourself now. You don’t belong. You’re unworthy. No body wants you. You’ve felt like part of the “unclean”. For these people being constantly told that they’re not good enough, not acceptable, not clean, eventually they started believing it themselves. Maybe they had assumed God was only for the clean people. The religious people. And then Jesus came. And Jesus changed everything. Jesus didn’t stand on the other side of the crowd pointing at them. He moved toward them. He welcomed them. He ate with them. He touched the untouchable. He talked to the unacceptable. He gave dignity to people who had been reduced to their sin. And suddenly, these people who had been told, “You don’t belong here,” were crowding around Jesus because Jesus was telling them something completely different: You matter. You are wanted. You are worth finding. You are not too far gone. That is the setting for these three stories. And that is why Jesus tells them three times, in three different ways: God goes after what is lost. He tells the story of a shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to find one lost sheep. Then a woman who turns her house upside down to find one lost coin. And finally, a father who watches the road, waiting for his lost son to come home. Three stories. One message. God is not standing far away waiting for the lost to find their way back to Him. God is actively pursuing them. And Jesus wants these religious leaders—and every outcast listening at His feet—to understand something that would have been almost scandalous to them: The lost are not an inconvenience to God. They are His pursuit. The very people everyone else had pushed away were the people Jesus was drawing near to. What was literally happening in this moment was James 4:8, “Come close to God, and God will come close to you.” The unclean were drawing in close for the first time believing maybe this man Jesus was sharing the Good News with them, and as they came in close, God came in close to them. A message worth repeating 3 times! So today, we look specifically at “The Parable of The Lost Coin”. The short little story tucked in between the other 2 more popular stories of something that had been lost. Luke 15: 8-10 “Suppose a woman has 10 sliver coins and loses one. Won’t she light a lamp and sweep the entire house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she will call in her friends and neighbors and say, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lot coin.’ In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.'” And here in the crowd were the sinners who were told they were unclean and unworthy of anything from God. They were written off and excluded. Now, Jesus is telling them, YOU ARE LIKE A LOST COIN THAT IS WORTHY OF BEING SEARCHED FOR! What does a coin have to do to be found? Absolutely nothing! The coin doesn’t crawl its way out of the corner. The coin doesn’t shine itself up to be found. No, the owner comes looking and will not quit until it is found! Notice what the woman does when she loses the coin – She specifically lights a lamp and sweeps the entire house in a careful search. This is precisely what God does when he comes looking for one of his lost children. One who has gotten lost in the darkness, swept to the side, fallen in the cracks and been left alone. First, HE SHINES THE LIGHT. What is this light? John 1:4-5, “In HIM was life, and that life was the LIGHT of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” But, the light doesn’t stop with God. Through Jesus, we become his light bearers. Matthew 5:14, Jesus says, “YOU are the light of the world.” Girls, this means for those of us with the Holy Spirit dwelling within us, we carry the light that God uses to search for his lost coins. WE ARE PART OF THE SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM FOR LOST SOULS!!!!!! Are they unclean? Are they not to be touched? Are they to be avoided? NOT ACCORDING TO JESUS!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE TO BE SEARCHED FOR! Jesus says with this light, the woman sweeps the entire house in careful search. GOD IS WILLING TO GO ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE LOOKING FOR A LOST SOUL. He will move the furniture. He will lift the rug. He’ll turn the sofa upside down. He’s not quitting the search for what is his. Here in the crowd, lost souls are hearing Jesus say that he will not stop caring about them. And here today, those within the sound of my voice are hearing Jesus still saying the same thing – HE WILL NOT STOP CARING ABOUT YOU. No matter where you’ve been hiding – no matter what darkness you’ve been stuck in – no matter how dirty you’ve become – HE WANTS YOU BACK!!!!!!!! You are his daughter. You belong to him. Nothing changes that. Just because the coin was lost didn’t mean the woman no longer claimed it. No, she said, “MY COIN”. It was hers when she held it, hers when it was lost, and hers when she found it. “I have found MY lost coin.” You’ve always been God’s girl. That’s not changing. Let yourself be found! Do you know what will happen when he finds you? A FULL BLOWN CELEBRATION!!!!!!!!! Literally Jesus says “There is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.” The angels are throwing a party over every soul who is pulled up out of the darkness. Over every soul who is picked up and dusted off. Over every soul who is restored to the place where they belong. THERE IS JOY WHEN THE LOST IS FOUND! Not disappointment. Not condemnation. Not, “Well, look who finally came crawling back.” JOY! Jesus is painting a picture for these sinners sitting at His feet—and for the religious leaders standing there judging them—that would have been impossible to miss. THIS is how God feels about sinners coming home. And I think sometimes we forget that. We know how to feel guilty. We know how to beat ourselves up. We know how to replay our failures and remind ourselves of every place we’ve fallen short. We know how to tell ourselves that we should have known better, done better, been better. But Jesus tells a different story. He tells us that when we are lost, God searches. When we are in the darkness, God brings the light. When we are buried under the mess of our own making, God starts moving things around to find us. And when He finds us, He celebrates. Girl, let that sink in. God isn’t looking for a reason to reject you. He’s looking for you. You may have wandered. You may have messed up. You may have made choices you wish you could undo. You may feel like you’ve fallen so far into the cracks that nobody could possibly find you. But you are not forgotten. You are not disqualified. You are not too dirty. You are not too far gone. You are still His. The coin didn’t become worthless because it was lost. Its location changed. Its condition may have gotten dirty. It may have been sitting in a dark corner where nobody could see it. But its value never changed. And neither has yours. Let Jesus find you exactly where you are. Because He already knows where you are. He’s already looking. He’s already searching. And when He finds you, He’s not going to pick you up and say, “What a mess you are.” He’s going to say, “There you are. I’ve been looking for you.” And heaven will rejoice. If you’ve believed the lie that you’re unworthy, let Jesus tell you the truth. You are His. You have always mattered. You have never been too far away for His light to reach. And you are worth finding. Because that’s the message Jesus repeated three times so we would never forget it: The lost matter to God. The lost are worth pursuing. And when the lost are found, HEAVEN REJOICES. So, Sis, let yourself be found.

What has our attention determines what we reflect. In “Take Another Look,” Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that being made in God's image isn't just about who we are — it's about what we reflect. Shame, fear, trauma, and failure can shift our focus, but they don't change who God says we are. When we turn our attention back to God and behold who He is, He transforms how we see ourselves, how we show up, and how we live out what He has called us to do. This message encourages you to take another look at who God is — and who He says you are.

What do you do when the need is bigger than what you can handle? In Small Obedience, Pastor Adam continues the I Need a Miracle series through John 6, looking at the feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water. Sometimes we're waiting for God to do something big while Jesus is simply asking us for a small yes. Bring what you have. Let Jesus into the boat. You don't have to control the outcome—the miracle is God's part. The yes is ours.

When Your Blowout Isn't the EndWhat happens when you love Jesus, have seen His faithfulness, and still find yourself falling apart when life doesn't go the way you expected?In this episode of Whispers of Hope, we take an honest look at Peter—not just the bold disciple who walked on water and declared his devotion to Jesus, but the Peter who failed, denied Jesus three times, and went back to what was familiar.Peter's story reminds us that failure does not have the final word. Jesus met Peter on the shore, restored him, and called him forward again. His “blowout” became part of the story God used to shape him into a bold witness for the Gospel.Maybe you've felt disqualified by your past, your failures, your flesh, or the ways life has shaken your faith. Maybe you've found yourself running back to something familiar because you don't know what else to do.But returning to what you know does not mean your story is over.Jesus still meets us there. He still loves us there. He still restores us there. And He still calls us to follow Him.In this episode, we talk about being sifted, learning to let go of our expectations of how God should work, laying down our pride and our flesh, and allowing Jesus to refine us into who He has called us to be.You don't have to be polished or perfect. You just have to say yes.Your failures don't disqualify you. Your blowout doesn't have to be the end. Let Jesus turn your sifting into revival.
Your breaking is not punishment. It's preparation. Touré Roberts discusses what God is doing in Israel's wilderness wanderings in Deuteronomy Chapter 8. They think they are being punished, but what they don't understand is that the wilderness is a place of development. God is teaching them humility, building dependence, and preparing them for something they've never experienced. What does your wilderness look like? When God humbles you, He's protecting you from pride. When He causes you to hunger, He's repositioning your appetite from stuff to substance. This message helps you discover what God is building in your breaking season and reaffirms that trusting God is the admission price for your blessing.

Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: The Same, But Different” Speakers: Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Cora Jakes, Pastor Don Johnson, Dr. Val, and Dr. Oscar Williams Scripture: John 20:17-23 (NKJV) Date: Aug. 12, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.
What if the chaos you're facing isn't the end of your story but the backdrop for what God is creating next? “The Same, But Different” draws from John 20, where Jesus meets His disciples in the middle of their fear and chaos, speaks peace, and breathes new life into them. Their circumstances hadn't changed, but they were about to. Through her own testimony of surviving a life-threatening season, Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that God doesn't always remove the chaos or give us the answer. Sometimes, He gives us His presence — and that is enough. The same hands that carried you before are still at work. The same Jesus who met you in your last storm is in the room with you now.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the pages of Scripture and warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. In today's episode, join Hunter, your Bible reading coach, as we explore Zephaniah chapters 1 through 3 and John chapter 9. We'll witness God's call to repentance and restoration, the powerful healing of a man born blind, and reflect on how Jesus—the light of the world—opens our eyes to God's true nature of love and mercy. Settle in for a time of prayer, encouragement, and renewed perspective as we remember that we are God's beloved children, invited to walk in His joy and peace each day. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He opens our eyes to see who God really is. What was God going to do with a human race that's incapable of seeing? God, being good, came in person to shine his light into our darkness. The light of the world stood before a blind man, took the dust of the earth, spit upon it, and remade what was once incapable of sight. God's power was shown in this healing—this man truly saw the light. And yet there is still so much that keeps us all in the dark. Lies imprison us—even good Christian folks. Lies about God: that we are separate from him, that he is distant and angry, ready to strike because of our past, eager to judge us or our parents, ready to make an example of us. Blinded to the true nature of God, we've convinced ourselves he is mainly about retribution instead of restoration, that he is primarily a judge instead of a Father. So often, even our religion blinds us to who God really is. We paint all our fears and anxieties onto the face of God, and so we do not see—even when the light is right in front of us. Are you tired of the darkness? Let Jesus open your eyes to who God truly is. Remember the words to Philip: Show us the Father and we will be satisfied. And Jesus answered, "Philip, have I been with you all this time, and you still don't know me? When you see me, you see the Father. I and my Father are one." There is no shadow side behind Jesus. Do you see him reaching out and healing those others think are cursed and condemned? Do you see him loving the poor, the unlovely, the outsider? Do you see his self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love? Then what you see is what you've got: you've got the light of the world. Let Jesus open your eyes to who God is and who you already are in him. Let him show you. Let him open your eyes and see. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer I have 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.

During this intimate worship night, we truly walk out the message from Sunday's sermon with our own post-moving praise service. What takes place is a powerful display of what revival truly means. Through worship and prophetic speaking, we learn that revival should be the natural rhythm of a life surrendered to God. The message is clear: Something has to break before God can revive it. God is tearing down the idols we've fractured, broken, and rebuilt, and He's inviting us to leave them down. If we want to rejoice in His salvation, we must stop rebuilding what God has torn down. Revival comes when we finally surrender.

Your voice, your cry, your worship — they have the ability to move the hand of God. Pastor Sheryl Brady reminds us that worship isn't passive. When singers and dancers preceded Israel into battle in the Old Testament, their enemies weren't frightened by their talent. They trembled because of the manifested presence of God that worship stirs up. Yet, we often burden our worship leaders and teams to carry what should come from within us. Our thirst for righteousness dictates our worship. Jesus paid a debt we couldn't pay. That alone is worth contending for. This is the season to stop loving God from a distance. Contend for His presence. Cry out for His glory. Watch what happens when His presence enters a room. Worship transports us from one dimension into another. It invites heaven into earth and changes circumstances. We can't survive without Him. The sooner we abandon comfort and embrace this truth, the sooner our praise will follow.

Could the breakthrough you've been praying for begin with slowing down? This week's Walk It Out Wednesday dives deeper into Bishop T.D. Jakes' message “Discerning the Right Moment,” exploring how distraction, tradition, and busyness can keep us from recognizing God's voice. The story of Mary and Martha reveals how your moment is found at Jesus' feet — not in your striving. Whether you're seeking direction, navigating a busy season, or longing to hear God more clearly, this conversation offers practical wisdom to help you discern His voice, embrace His timing, and walk confidently into the moments He has prepared for you. Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: Discerning the Right Moment” Scripture: Luke 10:38–42 (KJV) Speaker: Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Don Johnson, Dr. Val Date: July 29, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.
What if this is the moment that changes everything? In “Discerning the Right Moment,” Bishop T.D. Jakes challenges us to stop allowing busyness, worry, and striving to distract us from what God is doing in our midst. Through the story of Mary and Martha, he shows that breakthrough isn'tfound in doing more — it's found in drawing near to Jesus and discerning the moment He has set before you. Don't miss your moment. Make room for His presence, turn your attention toward Him, and discover what can happen when you lay down the weight you've been carrying. What begins as a message on spiritual discernment becomes a powerful invitation to healing, freedom, and renewed peace in the presence of God.

Something has to die for us to see God clearly. In this intimate panel discussion, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Cora Jakes, Dexter Jakes, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Val walk us through Isaiah 6:1-8, unpacking what it means to recognize God high and lifted up. When King Uzziah's reign endswith his death, Isaiah sees the Lord — rightly. It becomes the mile marker that signals the start of his public ministry. This panel challenges us to examine what's obstructing our view of God's glory: insecurities, fear, disobedience, outsourced faith. They expose how we struggle to say no to everyone but God and how being broken is what makes us usable for His kingdom. You'll discover that your imperfections are exactly why God can use you and get the glory. Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: You Better Recognize” Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8 (NKJV) Speakers: Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Cora Jakes, Dexter Jakes, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Val Date: July 22, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.
What is obstructing your ability to recognize God? Touré Roberts takes us into Isaiah's encounter with God — a moment that only became possible when earthly structures shook. Isaiah's breakthrough reveals the real issue: There was a gap between what he understood about God and what he was actually saying. His vision didn't match his words. This disconnect is exactly what revival addresses. Revival takes place when the church recognizes what it gradually forgot: The gospel of the kingdom is bigger than our preferences, our security, and our comfort. The solution? Full integration. When your eyes, heart, lips, and actions all align with God's kingdom, everything shifts. You recognize the fullness of His grace and power. That alignment can change the atmosphere around you. But before integration happens, something has to move. What are you leaning on? Success? Comfort? Relationships? Possessions? These false dependencies obstruct your view of God. They keep you from recognizing Him. But when your hunger for God is greater than your hunger for anything else, revival flows through you. Message: “You Better Recognize” Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8 and 2 Peter 1:2-3 (NKJV) Speaker: Touré Roberts Date: July 19, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.
What if the greatest breakthrough in your life isn't getting something new — but seeing Jesus more clearly? "How to Recognize God" unpacks how breakthrough and revival start in one place: a heart that's hungry for God's presence. And as our view of Jesus comes into focus, everything else does too — our words, our faith, our purpose, and the way we walk through everyday life. This wasn't just a message. It became an encounter. As worship filled the room, the Holy Spirit moved — through healing, through prayer, through ministry — meeting people right where they were, in ways that were deeply personal. If you've been longing to hear God's voice and feel His presence for yourself, let this one stir your faith. There's room for you in it.
