265. Seven Ways Jesus Responded to Life's Hardest Moments In this episode, we explore how Jesus walked through betrayal, temptation, exhaustion, deception, confusion, suffering, and deep loneliness, and yet responded with clarity rather than chaos. Jesus shows us a better way to navigate life's hardest moments, offering a pattern we can follow in our own struggles. This episode reminds us that Jesus fully understands what we face, and that His responses offer strength, guidance, and hope for our own difficult days.     Support the podcast with a coffee....

Are your prayers truly reaching God—or are you just telling Him what you want? In this powerful message, “Don't Tell God,” discover how to pray in the Spirit, align your will with God's, and experience a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit. Learn how true prayer isn't about giving God instructions—it's about surrendering to His perfect plan and trusting Him to provide what's best for your life.In this sermon, you'll uncover what it means to pray in the Spirit and build a two-way connection with God. Many believers talk to God without taking time to listen, but real prayer is about communication and alignment. As Ephesians 6:18 teaches, “Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.” When you pray scripture and allow the Holy Spirit to intercede for you, your prayers carry divine power and purpose.This message explores the importance of praying in tongues, speaking your heavenly prayer language, and letting God's Word shape your prayers. Learn how to cast your cares upon the Lord (1 Peter 5:7, Psalm 55:22), trust His timing, and seek heavenly things rather than earthly desires. When you seek first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33) and ask for wisdom, discernment, and spiritual understanding (Colossians 1:9, Philippians 1:9–11, 1 Kings 3:9), your prayers begin to reflect the heart of God instead of the will of man.This teaching will encourage you to strengthen your prayer life, grow in faith, and walk daily in the power of the Holy Spirit. Whether you're new to prayer or longing for deeper spiritual growth, this message will help you stop telling God what to do and start inviting Him to lead every part of your life.Referenced Verses: Ephesians 6:81 Peter 5:7Psalms 55:22Psalms 119:125Colossians 1:9Philippians 1:9-11Matthew 6:331 Kings 3:9-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

Join Pastor Andy Comer in this exciting episode of Growing Forward, as he draws from his recent trip to Israel and takes us to Magdala, Capernaum, and the Mount of Olives to illustrate what it means to “go fishing” and thus, fulfill The Great Commission.The way Jesus outlines discipleship for His first followers and now for us is a three-part process: catching people for Christ, cleaning (equipping) them, and sending them out on mission. Sharing our faith with others is about so much more than just making converts; it's about growing God's Kingdom.This episode features a myriad of captivating photos that Andy took himself during his trip to Israel—we recommend watching along on YouTube so you don't miss them!

Today, we took a step back to analyze what the discipleship journey is, what it could look like for you and how to go through it. As Pastor Caleb said, "As a disciple of Jesus, you are on a journey of transformation with the Holy Spirit as your guide and the church as your tribe." Trust the guide and lean into your tribe. Tune in for helpful guidance and practical steps to help you along this journey.▶SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/SouthernHillsLV▶Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://www.southernhillslv.com/the-gospel▶ DONATE: https://pushpay.com/g/southernhills?src=hpp&r=monthly▶ Visit Southern Hills: https://www.southernhillslv.com/▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/southernhillslv▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/southernhillslv/

Pastor Scott illustrates discipleship by inviting Leon to share how joining a men's group after COVID deepened his faith and relationships. What began as a search for knowledge became a journey of friendship with Jesus and learning to disciple others through everyday relationships. Scott connects Leon's story to Acts 18, emphasizing that true church growth happens when disciples make disciples who live out the Great Commission. #Discipleship #GreatCommission #Acts18 #FaithInAction #CommunityInChrist

264. Love that heals, Charity (Vertue 6) In this week's episode, we explore the heavenly virtue of Charity-love in action, the virtue that heals both giver and receiver. We'll look at what true charity really means, why it's more than generosity, and how it becomes the antidote to greed and self-interest. Through story and reflection, we'll unpack Augustine's warning that “charity is no substitute for justice withheld,” and consider how love that is real must also be fair. Join us as we ask: how can we live out a charity that not only comforts but also transforms?   Support the podcast with a coffee....

From the beginning of creation, God established the seventh day as holy. Genesis 2:2-3 tells us, “By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested… Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy.” The weekly Sabbath was not merely a command—it was a gift, a divine invitation to rest, reflect, and reconnect with our Creator. In Exodus 20:8-11, God commands His people: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” This day was set apart for rest from labor, spiritual renewal, and honoring God's provision. Jesus affirmed the Sabbath's purpose in Mark 2:27, saying, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” It is a blessing, not a burden.Keeping the weekly Sabbath is more than abstaining from work; it's about realigning our hearts with God, restoring our souls, and remembering who we are in Him. In a world of constant busyness and noise, the weekly Sabbath reminds us that our worth is not in what we do, but in who we belong to.This sermon calls us back to God's rhythm—one day each week to stop, worship, and delight in the One who created and sustains us.Referenced Verses: Exodus 34:21Exodus 20:8-11Genesis 2:3Exodus 16:26Leviticus 23:3Mark 2:27Hebrews 4:1-11-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

263. Rethinking Chastity: More Than Saying No (Vertue 5) In this episode, we continue to look at the heavenly virtues with a focus on chastity, not as control but as freedom. We explore how chastity orders desire toward love that gives, honours, and delights. Through Scripture and reflection, we discover that true purity opens the heart to joy, peace, and the fullness of love in God.   Support the podcast with a coffee....

Take Up Your Cross - Making Disciples | Ps Chris | Sunday 26 October

Message by David Holder on Thursday, October 30, 2025

Before his fall, Satan—originally known as Lucifer—was a magnificent angel created by God with a high and holy purpose. What was Satan's original purpose? Ezekiel 28:12-15 describes him as “the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty… anointed as a guardian cherub.” Lucifer dwelled in the very presence of God, appointed to serve and protect the holiness of Heaven.Satan's original purpose reflected honor, worship, and leadership among the heavenly hosts. Isaiah 14:12 refers to him as the “morning star,” suggesting a position of brilliance and influence. He was not created as evil but as good, endowed with freedom, beauty, and responsibility.Yet pride corrupted his purpose. Lucifer sought not to serve God but to be like God. Isaiah 14:13-14 reveals his downfall: “I will ascend to Heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God...” This rebellion led to his expulsion from Heaven and transformation into Satan, the adversary.Even the highest can fall when pride overtakes their purpose. However, God's authority prevails, and His purposes stand firm. Understanding Satan's origin teaches us to stay humble, obedient, and grounded in God's will.Referenced Verses: Ezekiel 28:13Ezekiel 28:14Isaiah 14:12-14Proverbs 16:5Revelation 12:7-9Luke 10:18Ezekiel 28:17Proverbs 11:2Proverbs 29:23Proverbs 16:18-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

In Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew writes, “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'” The command of Jesus to make disciples contains the heavenly call to go deep and to go wide. The mission of the church is wide. It can't be much wider. Jesus says “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” That's as wide as it gets. The mission is deep “Go and make disciples, baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” That's deep. There is a difference between teaching them a few things and teaching them “all that I have commanded you.” There is a difference between teaching them to comprehend all that I have commanded you and teaching them “to observe all that I have commanded you.” Jesus doesn't give us the choice between going wide with the gospel and going deep with disciples. It is one of the challenges that the church continually must reckon with as we seek to advance the mission of God. It is also why we need all hands-on deck. Making disciples is the collective responsibility of all Christians because only together can we go both deep and wide in the mission of God. This Sunday's message is called Deep and Wide: Making Disciples to the Ends of the Earth. Our text will be taken from Acts 15:36-16:5. This is a great text to study as we are have more baptisms this week again following the second service. Looking forward to being together to celebrate our gracious and good, good God.  Join us Sundays at 9 & 11am - waterbrooke.church

Mark Visser concludes The Vineyard Person series explaining what it means for Jesus to be the head of the church, and how men are to behave likewise. He looks at what it takes to make disciples and to equip the saints.

In this special message from Everyday Mission, guest speaker Daniel Dixon unpacks why we multiply as followers of Jesus. From the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18–20, we're reminded that multiplication isn't just a church growth strategy—it's the heartbeat of God's mission. We multiply because the gospel is important, people are important, and God is important. When we grasp the weight of His authority and the beauty of His presence, we're compelled to share His love and make disciples everywhere.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

2 Timothy 2:1-2 teaches us that real thriving means making disciples because making disciples multiplies faith and matures faith. In the call to multiply faith, the enemy that combats against this is oftentimes selfish faith. Selfish faith is more concerned about me, myself, and I rather than God's kingdom, his mission, and his people. The way we surrender our selfish faith is by being given a vision of a thriving life that is more compelling than our selfish ways. Multiplying faith is a more compelling way to live because God's salvation extends beyond one person but carries on from generation to generation. But also, discipleship provides the means for mature faith. Paul explains discipleship always happens in the context of personal and proximate relationships. And it's through relationships that people come to love Christ above all. Discipleship is not an easy task but God has provided a source that his people can always return to for strength and it's his well of grace. This is what sustains us and strengthen us to make disciples who make disciples.

261. A Episode on Telling the Truth for Everyone (Virtue 4) In this week's episode we explore what it really means to be people who tell the truth, even when it costs us. We look at why we sometimes hold back or twist the truth; whether to be liked, to stay in control, or to protect ourselves and how Scripture calls us to something deeper. Together we'll learn how disciples of Jesus can become known for honesty that is both courageous and full of grace.   The Colourman - A science fiction novel Paperback - https://amzn.eu/d/4XwZPpS Easy Read Edition -  https://amzn.eu/d/e4VNYXL   Support the podcast with a coffee....

This powerful message takes us deep into Acts 18, where we witness the Apostle Paul's transformative ministry in Corinth—one of the most morally corrupt cities of the ancient world. What stands out immediately is Paul's shift in approach: after attempting to impress the intellectual elite in Athens with sophisticated arguments, he arrives in Corinth determined to know nothing except 'Jesus Christ and him crucified.' This radical simplicity becomes the foundation for explosive spiritual growth. We're challenged to examine whether our own faith rests on human wisdom or the power of God. The message also explores the beautiful partnership between practical work and spiritual calling—Paul made tents with Priscilla and Aquila while simultaneously building God's kingdom. This reminds us that our workplaces aren't just where we earn income; they're mission fields where we spend roughly 90,000 hours of our lives. The Lord's encouragement to Paul—'Do not be afraid, for I am with you'—speaks directly to our own fears about sharing faith. When we feel that burning, anxious excitement in our chest, that's often the Holy Spirit prompting us to speak truth into someone's life. The transformation of Sosthenes from synagogue leader to beaten victim to faithful co-worker illustrates how God works through persecution to bring people to Himself. Ultimately, we're reminded that our calling isn't to be eloquent or successful by worldly standards—it's simply to be faithful in proclaiming Jesus, trusting that He will build His church.

Why would a parish packed with on-fire disciples feel stagnant? You'd think that if you put a dozen former FOCUS missionaries in one parish, it would explode with fruitfulness—but almost nothing happened. The truth is, even the most passionate disciples need a clear path and a culture that supports mission. Without it, the fire fizzles. In this episode, I talk about why real change is uncomfortable but necessary, what a parish of missionary disciples actually looks like, and how a community can shift from cruise ship mode to fire station mode—where mission is normal and conversion is celebrated.

On this episode of The Make, Trevor DeVage welcomes Pantano's own Brandon Osmer, a Caliber Collision GM, husband, and dad, to share how following Jesus shapes his workplace, his family, and his community. From leading a collision shop with compassion to walking through loss, IVF, and parenting three strong-willed kids, Brandon's story shows how ordinary moments become opportunities for extraordinary faith and discipleship.

Early in the basketball season, the coach at our neighborhood middle school seemed to work hardest convincing his players to risk shooting the ball. “Shoot!” he pleaded from the sidelines. His players eagerly passed the ball. Dribbling was a favorite too. The season was half over before most of them would shed their doubts and try to shoot the ball to score. But “going for it” made all the difference. By obeying their coach, letting go of doubt, and trying—even if they often missed the target—they learned to win. Jesus teaches us to let go of doubt to obey His call to make disciples. He explains, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:18-20). In practical terms, this can mean stepping out of our comfort to share our story of what God has done for us. Or getting involved in the lives of our hurting neighbors, showing them Jesus’ love. Such approaches work, but only if we let go and try them. Above all, we go in Jesus’ authority to attempt what may look hard—making disciples. But we need not fear. Jesus promised: “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (v. 20).

256. Pride or Purpose: examining the issue of Christian Nationalism. In this week's episode, we explore “Pride or Purpose?”. Looking at the problem of Christian nationalism and tracing its roots, we ask whether discipleship calls us to defend nations or to expand the Kingdom of God. We contrast the unrest we have seen in recent weeks with what we see in the Kingdom of God. Finally, we offer practical steps for Kingdom-first discipleship, praying for enemies, practising hospitality, and speaking gospel truth over politics - closing with the call to “Seek first the Kingdom of God.”   Support the podcast with a coffee....

When you hear the phrase "The Great Commission," what is your initial reaction? There can be a tendency in the church to relegate the carrying out of this command to those who are "called," or perhaps to those of a certain personality type.

255. How to live our lives with Uprightness? What does that even mean? The Christian virtues can often sound like something from the Victorian era, but are actually the most modern things you can practice. It's living straight in a crooked world.

Whether you're taking a class, doing a job, or raising a family, success begins with defining what it means to WIN. For Christians, “winning” isn't just going to church, being more religious, or even “becoming a better person.” It's making disciples of Jesus Christ, period. But what is a disciple? And how do we make them? In the New Testament, Jesus and the first Christians left us a discipleship game plan, and everyone - from brand-new believers to life-long Christians - has a part to play in it. Throughout this series, you'll discover new ways that you can win people for Jesus Christ, so join The Story every Sunday in August as we explore the X's and O's of making disciples.
