Send a textIn this sermon, The Tale of Two Saviors, we explore one of the most shocking moments in the Passion story recorded in Matthew 27:15–26—when the crowd was given a choice between Jesus Barabbas and Jesus the Messiah.At first glance, the decision seems unbelievable. Why would anyone choose a violent insurrectionist over the innocent Son of God?But when we look closer at the historical context, the choice becomes more understandable—and more uncomfortable. Barabbas represented the kind of savior people expected: someone who would fight for their nation, overthrow their enemies, and restore their power. Jesus offered something very different: the way of the cross, forgiveness, and sacrificial love.In this message from our Lent series, Paradox, we wrestle with a difficult question that still confronts us today: Which Savior are we actually following?This episode invites listeners to reflect on the difference between a faith built on power and one shaped by the cross, and to rediscover the hope found in the Savior who carried the cross meant for us.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

James 3:1–12

In case you missed it, the March/April 2026 issue of Holiness Today came out earlier this month. This edition is a deep dive into the book of Genesis, exploring the foundational stories of our faith and how they continue to shape our journey of holiness. In this issue, we walk through the "days" of the patriarchs and the very beginnings of creation with a powerful lineup of scholars and leaders: Frank Moore explores "The Days of Creation," examining the spiritual insights we can gain from our physical senses. Jim Edlin reflects on "The Days of Adam," reminding us that Adam's story of blessing and brokenness is also our story. Gabriel Benjiman looks at "The Days of Noah," using the ark as a witness to God's gracious invitation. Timothy Green discusses "The Days of Abraham," focusing on the interwoven threads of call, promise, and covenant. Paige Graves examines "The Days of Isaac," describing him as the essential "middleman" of the divine covenant blessing. David Snodgrass writes on "The Days of Jacob," detailing the transformation from a life of striving to one of total dependence on God. T. Scott Daniels concludes the series with "The Days of Joseph," highlighting how God's sovereign love turns harm into global redemption. On this episode, we are featuring the audio from Andy Lauer's "A Word From..." segment. Andy is the lead pastor of South Bend First Church of the Nazarene, and in this talk he discusses how Jesus Christ is present throughout the entire arc of salvation history—notably from the beginning in Genesis. Stay tuned as we listen to Pastor Andy's insights on finding Jesus in the biblical terrain of Genesis. Lifelong Learning Code: 28473 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

Dr. Desmond Barrett, a church revitalization expert, and the Jasons discuss church revitalization - what it means and how it works spiritually and practically in the church.--In this episode of the Sacred & Small podcast, Dr. Desmond Barrett, author of Rising From the Ashes Into Church Renewal, and pastor of Hilltop Church of the Nazarene, joins the Jasons to talk church revitalization.In the second of two episodes, Desmond details both the spiritual and practical sides of church revitalization. Churches can't do everything, but Christ does command his church to make disciples of all the nations. That means that a vital church — or a revitalizing church — must focus itself on evangelism. The same command, though, tells us to teach others to obey all that Christ has commanded us. Discipleship and spiritual formation, then, must also be a critical component of the revitalized church. There are practical concerns as well — raising funds, smells and sights in the church, understanding a church's language and culture. This far-reaching episode will discuss all of this and more.If this subject interests you and you would like to learn more about church revitalization, pick up Dr. Barrett's latest book - Rising From the Ashes Into Church Renewal. It's available through Amazon and other booksellers.

Send a textWhat does real power look like?In John 19:2-5, Jesus is beaten, mocked, and crowned with thorns. The soldiers see a joke. Pilate sees a political problem. The crowd sees a defeated man. But heaven sees something very different.In this message from our Lent series Paradox, Pastor Jason explores one of the most powerful moments in the story of Jesus-- a moment where what looks like weakness reveals the true strength of God.If you have ever felt overlooked, vulnerable, wounded, or like you have to prove your strength just to survive, this message is for you.The cross shows us a different kind of power--one rooted not in control, intimidation, or dominance, but in love, faithfulness, and surrender. Because what the world called humiliation...heaven called a coronation.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Upside Down Kingdom | The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant by Napoleon Church of the Nazarene

Dr. Desmond Barrett, a church revitalization expert, shares his pastoral journey and work in bringing revitalization to the church.--In this episode of the Sacred & Small podcast, Dr. Desmond Barrett, author of Rising From the Ashes Into Church Renewal, and pastor of Hilltop Church of the Nazarene, joins the Jasons to talk church revitalization.What is church revitalization? Dr. Barrett defines revitalization as “coming back.” Small churches — all churches — can face seasons of decline, crises, conflicts, and more. Walking through a process of revitalization can help churches recenter themselves on what makes them vital — alive and in agreement with the mission of God in the world. That makes it more than just church growth or outreach, but a renewal of a congregation's commitment and engagement in what God is doing in them and in the world.In this first of two episodes, Desmond shares his pastoral journey — his call to ministry, his first pastoral assignment in a church of 8, and his efforts to revitalize both Winter Haven Nazarene (his previous assignment) and his current work at Hilltop.

Send a textWe all know Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss. But what if betrayal looks like more than one thing?In this first message of the Paradox Lent series, Pastor Jason Barnett explores the moment in Luke 22 where affection becomes betrayal, loyalty turns to confusion, and violence is mistaken for faithfulness. As Jesus is arrested in the garden, every person surrounding Him looks close — yet only one heart is truly aligned with God.This message invites us to slow down and examine our own hearts during Lent. Are we following Jesus with true surrender, or just going through familiar spiritual motions? Through the stories of Judas, Peter, and the crowd, we discover how easy it is to look faithful on the outside while drifting inwardly — and how Jesus still meets us with mercy and healing.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Craig Vasey, Associate Pastor at New Life Community Church of the Nazarene in Monticello, IA.  Pastor Craig shares his story with Pastor Scott of making room for God by giving the little moments to God, by learning to tell himself no, and by surrendering his timeline to God.

Today marks exactly four years since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine in 2022. Throughout this conflict, the role of local institutions has shifted dramatically, with communities often looking to spiritual leaders for more than just guidance. In this interview, Crystal Gibbons speaks with two leaders within the Church of the Nazarene in Ukraine: Pastor Svetlana, the District Superintendent, and Pastor Sergei, who began his ministry at the onset of the war. They discuss the evolving nature of the church as it transforms into a "warm place"—a literal and spiritual shelter that offers food, warmth, and hope to believers and non-believers alike. From the logistical hurdles posed by power outages to the deeply personal struggle of maintaining faith amid tragedy, Svetlana and Sergei offer an unfiltered look at leadership during a prolonged crisis.

Send a textWhat if the Parable of the Talents isn't just about skills or abilities — but about people?In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, Pastor Nicole Barnett shares a powerful message from Matthew 25:14–30. This sermon challenges the way we think about discipleship, fear, and what it really means to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us.Many Christians are comfortable helping people come to faith — but what happens after that?
