This Podcast is the final part in the series from Sunday Nov 16th 2025 titled The Bashful, The Bold & The Ugly Pt.3These are some of the Scriptures that were referenced throughout this series:Mark 1:40-42 (NKJV)40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” 41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.Mark 2:1-6 (NKJV)2 And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 [a]Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” 6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,Mark 2:5-7 (NKJV)5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” 6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”Mark 2:8-12 (The Message Bible)8-12 Jesus knew right away what they were thinking, and said, “Why are you soskeptical? Which is simpler: to say to the paraplegic, ‘I forgive your sins,' or say, ‘Get up, take your stretcher, and start walking'?Mark 2:13-15 (NKJV)13 Then He went out again by the sea; and all the multitude came to Him, and Hetaught them. 14 As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him. 15 Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi's house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.Mark 2:16-17 (NLT)16 But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum?” 17 When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don't need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”Hebrews 1:1-3 (NKJV)1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,more Scriptures: Romans 8:17 (NLT), John 14:8-10 (NLT), 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NLT), Hebrews 12:1 (NLT), ACTION Choose ONE this week:1) Identity Declaration: “I am a son/daughter of God, and I live from who I am, not from what I do.” 2) Strip a Weight: Lay aside one habit, thought, or behaviour that slows down your spiritual race. 3) Radiate His Character: Choose one relationship or environment to intentionally reflect Christ.Thank you for listening and join us next time for more great teachings from The Word.If you feel led to give towards this podcast ministry you can do so through the same ways that you give your tithes & offerings by writing Podcast ministry.

Unstoppable: Seven Reasons You Can't Be Defeated • Friday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.toddcoconato.com/give The Bible makes it clear: the Church of Jesus Christ is not weak, fragile, or doomed to fail. The gates of hell cannot prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). You are not a victim—you are a victor. Today, I want to give you seven reasons why you cannot be defeated if you belong to Christ. These truths will stir your faith and remind you of the unstoppable power of God at work in your life. 1. You Are More Than a Conqueror Romans 8:37 (NKJV): “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” 2. The Greater One Lives in You 1 John 4:4 (NKJV): “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 3. God Always Leads You in Triumph 2 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV): “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” 4. The Word of God Cannot Fail Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV): “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” 5. The Blood of Jesus Secures Your Victory Revelation 12:11 (NKJV): “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” 6. The Joy of the Lord Is Your Strength Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV): “…Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” 7. Jesus Already Crushed the Enemy Colossians 2:15 (NKJV): “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” You are unstoppable. You are more than a conqueror. The Greater One lives in you. Triumph is your portion. The Word cannot fail, the blood has secured your victory, the joy of the Lord makes you strong, and the enemy has already been crushed. Don't live like you're barely hanging on—live like a champion. Walk in boldness. Speak in authority. Laugh at the plans of the enemy. You cannot be defeated because Jesus already won. Lift your hands and declare: “I am unstoppable. I am victorious. I am more than a conqueror through Christ. I will not back down, I will not bow, and I will see God's power in my generation!” CCLI: 21943673

What you value is not neutral. It is steering the entire direction of your life. In this message from Matthew 6:19 through 34, we explore Jesus' call to stop living for possessions and begin living for the Kingdom of God. Jesus teaches that: You cannot serve God and mammon at the same time. Your treasure pulls your heart toward whatever you pursue. A generous, Kingdom focused "good eye" fills your life with light. A greedy, materialistic "bad eye" fills your life with darkness. Worrying over money and needs reveals the true object of your trust. We walk through how: Not valuing possessions enough to seek them, in verses 19 through 24, breaks the grip of materialism and exposes the idolatry that often hides in modern Christian life. Not valuing possessions enough to worry about them, in verses 25 through 34, frees your heart to trust your heavenly Father who feeds the birds and clothes the lilies. At the center of this message is Jesus' command: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33 NKJV. When God's Kingdom is placed first, your priorities shift, your anxiety decreases, your generosity grows, and your trust in the Father deepens. If your life has been driven by security, comfort, or accumulation, this message will challenge you and call you back to one Master, one vision, and one treasure. Watch now to understand how what you value drives your life and how to realign your heart, your money, and your worries with the Kingdom of God.

Did The Bible Warn Us About Mamdan? • The Todd Coconato Show Website: www.toddcoconato.com | www.pastortodd.org To give and support this ministry and these broadcasts: www.toddcoconato.com/give We are living in prophetic times. New York City, one of the most influential cities on earth, has just elected a leader aligned with a worldview in direct opposition to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many are shocked... but spiritually, we should not be surprised. Scripture gives us a blueprint for moments like this. When a people turn away from God, they begin selecting leaders who reflect their rebellion. This is not only a political moment. This is a spiritual moment. Understanding the Biblical Pattern: Israel Chooses Saul To understand what is happening spiritually, we need to revisit a foundational story from the Bible in the book of 1 Samuel. Israel was originally led by God Himself. He raised up prophets and judges to guide them. But the people grew restless. They saw the nations around them ruled by kings, and they wanted to look like the world. They wanted a king they could see, someone impressive, someone who gave the illusion of strength and control. They went to God's prophet, Samuel, and demanded a king. Samuel warned them by the Spirit of God that a worldly ruler would bring hardship, oppression, and spiritual decay. But they refused to listen. They insisted on choosing what looked strong rather than who was godly. 1 Samuel 8:7 (NKJV) “And the Lord said to Samuel… they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.” Saul was chosen because he appeared powerful and charismatic. Scripture says he was taller and more impressive than anyone else. To the natural eye, he looked like a champion. But Saul did not have a heart after God. He did not honor God's commands. He feared the people more than he feared the Lord. He made decisions based on popularity, power, and image instead of obedience and truth. In time, Saul's leadership brought confusion, fear, moral compromise, and spiritual decline to Israel. It took years and great suffering before the nation turned back to God's standard and God raised up David, a man after His own heart. Here is the parallel: Israel chose a leader like the world and suffered spiritually. America's largest cultural city has now made a choice based not on righteousness, but on ideology and image. God is showing us the pattern again. The point is not an individual leader. The point is spiritual drift. When a people reject God, their leadership choices reflect that rejection. The good news: In Scripture, after Saul came David. Judgment shook the nation awake, and God raised a remnant. He always does. Now… what do we do? 1. We must not fear. Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you… I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Explanation: Fear paralyzes the Church. God calls us to stand with courage. He will hold us up in turbulent times. 2. We must repent and humble ourselves. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways…” “…then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Explanation: Our hope is not in political outcomes… it is in repentance and returning to God. 3. We must discern the times. 1 Chronicles 12:32 (NKJV) “...the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…” Explanation: The Church must not be spiritually asleep. We must discern and respond, not merely observe. 4. We must cry out like watchmen. Isaiah 62:6–7 (NKJV) “You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent… give Him no rest till He establishes…” Explanation: Watchmen do not complain… they cry out in prayer without ceasing. 5. We must expose and stand against false ideologies. 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (NKJV) “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God…” “…casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.” Explanation: We confront ideas and spiritual strongholds, not flesh and blood. 6. We must put on spiritual armor. Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers…” Explanation: This is not political warfare… it is spiritual warfare. 7. We must refuse compromise and hold the line. Romans 12:2 (NKJV) “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Explanation: The Church cannot bow to cultural pressure. We must stand apart and walk in renewal. 8. We must preach Jesus boldly. Acts 4:12 (NKJV) “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven… by which we must be saved.” Explanation: Revival does not come through comfort or silence… it comes through bold proclamation of the Name of Jesus. This is not the moment to retreat. This is the time to: • watch • pray • repent • stand • disciple • preach Jesus • return to holiness • contend for revival Just like in the days of Saul and Samuel, God will raise Davids. He will strengthen His remnant. But we must awake. We must respond. We must stand.
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. [NKJV]
I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. [NKJV]
Don't let your limitations limit God. “The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah.” - 1 Kings 17:16 (NKJV)

Worry has a way of sneaking in and taking over, but Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us of something worry can’t compete with: a God who is able—able to do exceedingly, abundantly above anything we ask, imagine, or fear. When anxiety rises, God invites us to remember His power, His faithfulness, and His perfect track record. From parting seas to opening parking spaces to carrying us through life-changing moments, He proves again and again that nothing is too big or too small for His care. Highlights God interrupts our worry with reminders of His presence and power. Scripture anchors us when our minds want to spiral into fear. God cares for both the “small things” and the monumental moments of our lives. Nothing can thwart God’s plans—His purpose always prevails. We worry because our vision is limited, but God sees the whole story. Remembering past faithfulness strengthens our confidence in present battles. Jesus stands ready to answer the “door” when worry comes knocking. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Goring Bible Reading: “ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” - Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV “Why are you worried?” God interrupted my thoughts with this question to ponder before I could start a downward spiral in my mind. He then put the lyrics to a song I hadn’t heard in years into my head. The song “He’s Able” by Deitrick Haddon ministered to my spirit and lifted my thoughts heavenward. It was through the message of this song and reading Bible verses that support it that God breathed new life into me and reminded me that He is still in control. He let me know I can always take my concerns to Him. The Bible says we are to “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT). But how often do we keep our worries in our grasp and push God away? Perhaps we think that ruminating over our problems will somehow solve them. I’ve learned that way never works! The good news is that we have a Savior (Jesus Christ) who is exceptionally good at saving us from everyday disasters and ultimately, saving our souls (John 3:16-17) so we can make it into our final destination (Heaven). Over the years, I’ve learned that when worry comes knocking on the door of my mind, I need to remember who God is and let His Son (Jesus Christ) answer that door and send worry running away from me for good. I’ve found that when worried, it helps to remember Bible stories of how God delivers His people. One of my favorite scriptures to illustrate that point is the story about when God parted the Red Sea for His children (the Israelites) to pass safely to the other side then He drowned their enemies who were in pursuit behind them by returning the sea to its natural form! This is the same God who is alive today. The same Lord who is available to help us 24/7/365 because He never sleeps nor slumbers (Psalm 121:4). When worried, it is important to recall God’s faithfulness to us. He is Almighty, Sovereign, Faithful, and True to me and you. God is able to accomplish everything He has planned for our lives on Earth and in the world at large. No human or evil supernatural force can thwart God’s plans. His purpose always prevails (Proverbs 19:21). Nothing is impossible for God (Luke 1:37)! So why do we worry? I think it’s because we’re still human, mere mortals with finite vision. But the good news is we serve an Immortal God with infinite vision! The Bible says that God knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). He’s planned out all the days of our life (Psalm 139:16), and He knows what He’s doing. God has a perfect track record of being trustworthy, and He does all things with perfection. God shows up for us in little ways and big ways. Such as the time when I needed a parking space in an office lot that is often full. Recently, as I prepared for an appointment, I prayed about this on my drive to that small space, and when I arrived, there were four empty parking spaces! This proved to me that God cares about the small things. When I was in my last few weeks of graduate school, our professor told us that if we made more than two mistakes on our final paper, then we would fail her class and not graduate. I asked all my God-fearing family and friends to pray for me about this serious situation, and God answered our prayers! I passed her final class and received my graduate degree. This proved to me that God cares about the big things! In closing, I’d like for you to listen to this song, “He’s Able” by Deitrick Haddon, then remember that God is a loving Heavenly Father who provides for all our needs daily. So next time you feel a wave of worry crashing over you, reach out to Him. He’s always there. Our Lifeguard (Jesus Christ) walks on water. He won’t let us drown. We just need to remember that He is able to rescue us, sustain us, and help us reach our true home (Heaven). Intersecting Faith & Life: How does it feel to know that we serve a God who is able to meet our every need and exceed our greatest expectations?

Matthew 5:1-12 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4 Blessed are those who mourn,For they shall be comforted.5 Blessed are the meek,For they shall inherit the [a]earth.6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,For they shall be filled.7 Blessed are the merciful,For they shall obtain mercy.8 Blessed are the pure in heart,For they shall see God.9 Blessed are the peacemakers,For they shall be called sons of God.10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

“Why, Christian, Are You Depressed? It's Time to Get Up!” • Sunday Service Website: www.toddcoconato.com | www.pastortodd.org To give and support this ministry and these broadcasts: www.toddcoconato.com/give So many in the body of Christ today are walking around heavy, weary, and weighed down. Depression has become a silent battle in the lives of believers everywhere. But the question the Lord is asking in this hour is: Why, Christian, are you depressed? You have resurrection power living inside of you. You are not a victim of your emotions—you are a victor through Christ Jesus. It's time to get up, shake off the heaviness, and walk into the new season of praise and thanksgiving that God has prepared for you. 1. Psalm 42:11 (NKJV) “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.” 2. Isaiah 61:3 (NKJV) “To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…” 3. Philippians 4:6–7 (NKJV) “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” 4. Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV) “Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” 5. Psalm 34:17–18 (NKJV) “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.” 6. Romans 12:2 (NKJV) “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” 7. 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (NKJV) “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God…” 8. Psalm 30:11–12 (NKJV) “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, to the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.” It's time to rise up, Christian. You've spent enough time under the weight of sadness and fear. The Lord is calling His people into maturity—into a season where we no longer live by emotions but by faith. Depression loses its grip when you begin to thank God for what He's already done, rather than waiting for everything to be perfect. You may not feel it right now, but joy is coming. God is saying, “Get up. Wash your face. Put on the garment of praise. I am doing a new thing.” This is your moment to step out of the valley and into His victory. Lift your hands, open your mouth, and declare: “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth!” (Psalm 34:1 NKJV) CCLI: 21943673
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings. [NKJV]
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. [NKJV]
“For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them.” (Romans 12:4–6 NKJV) If you’re serious about becoming a strong and mature believer, you need to be plugged into your church in a meaningful way. Sometimes people treat churches like restaurants—with a consumer mentality. “There’s no reason to go to that church. We just went there two weeks ago. Let’s try another one instead.” But the church is not a restaurant. The church is a family, and you need to be a part of the family. You also need to engage. Maybe one of the reasons some people feel as though they aren’t getting enough out of church is that they attend intermittently and don’t commit themselves. But if they would settle in and become a part of what God is doing, it would change for them. If you’ve been attending a church for more than a couple of years, then you ought to be involved in a ministry of some kind. You may not be called to preach, but there are lots of other things to do. There is something for everyone. The Bible tells us, “For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them” (Romans 12:4–6 NKJV). It’s fine to come and be served in the church. But there must come a point when you grow up, spiritually speaking, and decide to start serving. To be more active and less passive in your approach to church. If you do, you’ll find that your church experience changes dramatically for the better. And not just for you, but also for your fellow church members. Whether you realize it or not, you have something important to contribute to your local body of Christ. God has blessed you with a unique set of skills. If you don’t use them, it’s not fair to Him. It’s not fair to yourself. And it’s not fair to the people in your church who would be blessed by them. You can make a difference in your church, so you should make a difference. If you want to grow in your relationship with Christ, don’t think of the church as them; think of it as us. Be a part of the family. Take the gifts that God has given you, develop them, and use them for His glory. Church will completely change for you if you stop coming as a spectator and instead join the team.
