As Christians, we have been given a mission. Jesus gave us guiding instructions on how we are to live and what we are to do. But I wonder if we have come to believe the mission to make disciples is for others, and not for us.Main Points:1.  Today it seems as if maybe we have forgotten our mission. Those who follow Christ, those who have been saved and forgiven have received a mission from their savior. We are told to “go and make disciples.” Have we forgotten this is our calling? Have we forgotten this is our individual responsibility?2. Obedience to Christ's command to make disciples is fulfilled not through church programs, but as individuals invest their lives into others. It's people who reach people for Christ. We then spend time with them to help them grow and become disciples, who would then make other disciples.3. Jesus said we are to “make disciples.” This means we must take the initiative to do something. We must speak up. We must invest our lives in building relationships with those who don't know Jesus. We must give our time to share Christ and to help them grow into disciples.Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 28:19-20 - “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. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Acts 1:8 - "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Alethea Felton shares on this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast about obedience, uncertainty, leadership, and what happens when God asks you to move before you fully understand where He is taking you. Alethea talks about fear, transition, trust, mentorship, and learning that authority does not come from having everything figured out. It grows through obedience, often long before confidence shows up. This is an honest conversation for anyone who has ever felt stretched between what feels safe and what they sense God calling them toward. This conversation was originally recorded during FORTIFIED: Women Rising in Authority, Ease, and Joy.In this episode, we talk about:Obedience and spiritual authorityFear, uncertainty, and trustLeadership and growthMentorship and supportMoving before you feel fully readyLearning to discern God's direction

What does it look like to stand for truth with both courage and gentleness? In this message, we are reminded through the life of William Wilberforce that Christ calls us to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Matthew 10:16). Though surrounded by the spiritual darkness and injustice of the British slave trade, Wilberforce's heart was transformed by the gospel, and God used him to shine the light of Christ boldly in public life. Through years of opposition, criticism, and discouragement, he persevered in prayer, conviction, and compassion, trusting the Lord to bring lasting change. His life challenges us to faithfully stand for truth wherever God has placed us, relying not on our own strength but on Christ's wisdom and grace to reflect His love to a broken world.

Lauren and Jamie sit down with Ashlynn Clay for a deeper conversation following her previous appearance on the podcast. Ashlynn shares more of her story, what led her to the ELC, and how God has been working through her life since stepping into that season of obedience. Together, they discuss disciple-making, serving others, spiritual growth, and the fruit that comes from faithfully following Jesus wherever He leads. This episode is an honest and encouraging conversation about surrender, purpose, and what it looks like to invest in people for the Kingdom.

This week we take a break from our series to hear a message from our Lead Pastor. Join us as we learn that the road is hard, but God is good and He is enough.

Discover how the foundational teachings of Deuteronomy continue to speak to believers today. In this episode of the "Christians Follow Torah" series, we begin our journey through the Book of Deuteronomy and examine the core principles of covenant, obedience, faithfulness, and wholehearted devotion to God. This is Episode 9 and Part 1 of our Deuteronomy study, where we explore Moses' final instructions to Israel and uncover how these timeless teachings connect directly to the teachings of Yeshua (Jesus) and the life of a disciple today. Deuteronomy serves as a powerful bridge between the Torah and the rest of Scripture. Throughout this study, we highlight key themes that Christians of all backgrounds can appreciate, including loving God with all your heart, remembering His commandments, teaching future generations, and walking faithfully in His ways. Whether you are new to Torah observance, exploring the Hebrew Roots of the faith, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of Scripture, this study will help you see the unity of God's Word from Genesis to Revelation. Grab your Bible, follow along, and let's test everything together in the Word. At Sabbath Lounge, we are dedicated to eating clean, keeping the Feast Days and the Sabbath, following Torah, and helping lead people out of Babylon and back to the instructions of our Creator. In This Episode • Introduction to the Book of Deuteronomy • Moses' final message to Israel • Covenant faithfulness and remembrance • Loving God with all your heart, soul, and strength • The importance of obedience • Teaching God's commands to future generations • Connections between Deuteronomy and the teachings of Yeshua • Why Deuteronomy still matters for believers today

In this powerful message, Samuel Goulet invites listeners to move from simply receiving in church to becoming spiritual fathers and mothers who help others grow in Christ. Using Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 4, he shows that true spiritual parenting is not about titles, recognition, or status—it is about sacrifice, endurance, humility, and love that keeps showing up. With humor, honesty, and stories from family life, Samuel challenges us to let the culture of Jesus overflow from our homes into the church, creating a community where people are pursued, encouraged, corrected in love, and strengthened to walk in the truth.

Deconstruction isn't a modern invention — Paul saw it coming two thousand years ago and gave the church its prescription. We're in 1 Timothy 1:18–20, where Paul commissions Timothy to fight the good fight and names two men who didn't — and the difference between them and Timothy wasn't intelligence or background, it was whether they kept holding on. Join us as we look at the nature of the fight worth having, the weapons Paul says every believer carries, and what it looks like when those weapons are laid down.Fight the good fight...1) The nature of it2) The weapons for it3) The cautionary examples to avoidText: 1 Timothy 1:18-20

Sermon by John Vandervelde from 1 John 2:3-11

Sunday School 6/14/2026.

The Parable of the Sower.

Devotion: Obedience or Betrayal? tells the story of Gloriavale, a closed religious community in New Zealand that was founded on promises of faith, unity, and a better way of life. As former members of Mormon communities, we couldn't help but notice some striking similarities to our own experiences growing up in the FLDS and mainstream Mormon culture.In this reaction and discussion, we explore the origins of Gloriavale, the appeal of religious utopias, and why so many isolated groups seem to develop similar rules, expectations, and power structures over time. We discuss the role of obedience, patriarchal leadership, separation from the outside world, and how sincere beliefs can sometimes create environments where abuse and control are able to flourish.While Gloriavale, the FLDS, and the LDS Church are very different in many ways, this documentary raises important questions about authority, devotion, loyalty, and what happens when questioning leadership is seen as betrayal.What did you think of Devotion: Obedience or Betrayal? Did you notice similarities to other religious communities or high-demand groups? Let us know in the comments.

Sometimes God asks us to leave behind everything familiar so He can lead us into the purpose we were truly created for.Comfort.Security.Plans.Even the life we thought we wanted.In this powerful and inspiring conversation, John Martin sits down with Felix Amwayi to share a testimony of radical surrender, bold faith, and living fully for the Kingdom of God.Originally from Kenya, Felix had what many people would consider a dream life. He held a respected government job, had financial stability, and was building a secure future. But in the middle of that success, God began speaking to his heart with an unexpected call:“Go to America.”At first, Felix resisted. In fact, he didn't even want to come to America. The culture felt unfamiliar, distant, and uncomfortable to him. But God continued to pursue his heart and eventually gave him a powerful dream that changed everything.In the dream, Felix saw a woman preparing to take her own life. As he pleaded with her not to do it, he suddenly heard himself say:“I'm going to resign my job tomorrow.”The moment he surrendered, the woman lowered the gun.When Felix woke up, he knew God was calling him to obey.Leaving behind security, career stability, finances, and everything familiar, Felix stepped out in faith and moved to Florida to attend Bible school—even though he knew almost no one there.What followed became a testimony of God's faithfulness.Felix shares how the Lord provided for him step by step: from housing, friendships, financial provision, and divine connections, to completely transforming his perspective on purpose and evangelism.While attending Bible school, Felix realized something that changed his life forever:We were not created to live for ourselves—we were created to make Jesus known.Since then, he has devoted his life to boldly sharing the Gospel everywhere he goes:On airplanes.In airports.On beaches.In businesses.On the streets.With strangers.With anyone willing to listen.Felix passionately explains that many people are simply waiting for someone to notice them, pray for them, and remind them that God loves them. He believes too many believers stay silent because of fear, insecurity, or distraction—while countless people around them are desperate for hope.One of the most powerful themes in this conversation is surrender.Felix reminds listeners that true purpose begins when we stop living only for ourselves and start living for what matters eternally. He challenges believers to stop allowing distractions, comfort, and fear to keep them from fulfilling the purpose God created them for.This conversation is filled with encouragement for anyone wrestling with obedience, fear, uncertainty, or purpose:God can be trusted.Obedience opens doors.And surrender leads to transformation.Felix encourages listeners to:Spend daily time with God in His Word.Get connected to a Christ-centered church.Surround themselves with healthy Christian community.And boldly share the love of Jesus wherever they go.You were created for more than survival.You were created for purpose.And your obedience may change someone else's eternity.What's one thing God may be asking you to surrender so you can fully walk in His purpose for your life?For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

What does it really cost to follow God's plan for your life? This week, Sarah sits down with Natalie Manuel Lee for an honest conversation about obedience, people-pleasing, purpose, and learning to choose God's way over culture's expectations. Together, they unpack the tension of trusting God when the path feels lonely, setting boundaries that protect your peace, and finding the courage to walk away from what no longer aligns with your calling. If you've ever wondered whether God is leading you into something new, this conversation is for you. Get your menopause treatment plan today.

My Sheep Know My Voice: The Good Shepherd Continued – John 10:22–42 In Episode 140 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue their journey through John 10 as Jesus boldly reveals His identity during the Feast of Dedication. In John 10:22–42, Jesus declares that His sheep hear His voice, He knows them, and no one can snatch them from His hand. As opposition intensifies, Jesus continues to point people to the evidence of His works and His unity with the Father. This passage is a powerful reminder of the security, assurance, and intimacy believers have in Christ. Together, Jamie and Jane explore what it means to recognize the Shepherd's voice, trust His leadership, and rest in the confidence that we belong to Him. Whether you're struggling with doubt, seeking direction, or longing for deeper intimacy with God, this conversation will encourage you to listen closely to the voice of the One who calls you by name. Am I listening to the voice of the Good Shepherd—or allowing other voices to shape my identity and direction? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

In chapter 1, Paul covered natural revelation, that is, the concept that everyone begins with an understanding that God exists because the natural world reveals it to men. Men suppress this truth in unrighteousness, and are guilty of any number of sins. Even though such is the case, Paul tells that church that they ought not concern themselves with casting judgment as much as they ought to concern themselves with faithfulness to God, especially in those cases where the accuser is guilty of the same sins whereby he finds fault in another person. Obedience to the Law means little if the person in question is not set apart for the Lord. It is not the outward sign of circumcision which is important, but the inward sign of s circumcised heart. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

The word headship has been misunderstood, misused, and in many cases weaponized. Some men have treated it like a position of authority, while others have become so afraid of getting it wrong that they've completely stepped back from leading altogether.In this episode of The Intentional Guy Podcast, Michael Chestnut takes a fresh look at Ephesians 5 and challenges husbands to rethink biblical leadership through the lens of sacrifice, vulnerability, and presence.We'll explore why Christ's model of headship was never about control—it was about laying Himself down for others. If you're a husband seeking to lead your marriage God's way, this conversation is for you.

This week, Pastor AJ walked us through John 4 and the story of the woman at the well, reminding us that Jesus is more than enough to satisfy. While the things of this world will always leave us thirsty, Jesus alone offers the living water that truly fulfills. We were challenged to stop running back to empty wells and find our satisfaction in Christ alone.

This is the sixth and final sermon in our series "Reconciliation: From Forgiveness to Restoration" and the title is "Obedience and Wisdom" – Clara Montianari is on the Preaching Team at The Gospel Tabernacle. June 7, 2026.

Enjoying the Show? Drop us a line!When everything falls apart, how do you respond? When your circumstances are dire—hopeless even—how do you act? Esther was ripped from her home and placed in the harem of a pagan king. Her future, gone. Her hopes and dreams, shattered. Her freedom turned into lifelong slavery.Yet out of this horrific situation, Scripture shows us two things. First, that God is sovereign over all things—that no matter what situation He calls His people into, He has an overarching plan for them. Second, that obedience requires us to look beyond our circumstances to the sovereign and all‑powerful God who loves us. The God who is our Father. The God who has promised to be with us.Obedience becomes impossible when we fix our eyes on our circumstances instead of on Him. God has not called His people to live for themselves but for Him. The story of Esther puts this reality on full display. Her response to her circumstances shows us how we should act when we walk through trials, and it pulls back the curtain just enough to reveal that God is constantly working behind the scenes to accomplish His will and bless His children—no matter how dark the path He calls them to walk.Support the showVisit our Merch Store to support the show!

Pastor Greg Mitchell preaches a powerful message from Luke 1 on the spiritual revolution God wants to bring into every believer's life.In a generation filled with blame-shifting, compromise, and spiritual apathy, this sermon calls Christians back to: • Personal responsibility • Complete obedience to God • Readiness for the return of Jesus ChristThis message explores the ministry of John the Baptist, the reality of the rapture, true repentance, and why outward religion without surrender can never produce real transformation.“If Jesus came back tonight… would you be ready?”Chapters00:00 Introduction to Spiritual Revolution04:28 Revolution of Responsibility16:20 Revolution of Obedience25:15 Revolution of Readiness35:50 Conclusion and Call to ActionShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

What does it actually mean to fear the Lord?In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our Chasing Purpose series as we move from Ecclesiastes into the book of Proverbs. Solomon begins Proverbs by teaching that wisdom starts with one foundational truth: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”But fear of the Lord does not mean being scared of God. For followers of Jesus, it means living with reverence, awe, humility, and deep respect for who God is. It means choosing God's wisdom over our own understanding, listening to His voice above the opinions of the world, and allowing His Word to shape the way we live.Pastor Brandon reminds us that there are always two voices competing for our attention: wisdom and foolishness, God's way and our own way. True wisdom begins when we surrender our plans, trust God's direction, and live with reverence for the One who created us, loves us, and will never leave us.This message also includes a powerful time of communion and a Kingdom Builders Light Bearers Project update.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs wisdom and direction this week.Make sure to like and subscribe to stay up to date with weekly messages from Venture Church.Timestamps0:00 – YouTube Welcome from Pastor Brandon0:18 – Welcome to Venture Church1:25 – Introducing Proverbs1:52 – Proverbs of Solomon3:03 – The Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Knowledge3:35 – How to Read the Bible5:02 – Reading a Proverb a Day5:27 – The Main Theme of Proverbs6:00 – Proverbs as Wisdom Literature7:27 – What Wisdom Means8:01 – Wisdom and Folly8:55 – Two Voices Competing for Your Attention9:28 – God's Plan vs. Our Plan10:15 – Everyone Has an Opinion11:44 – Wisdom and Folly in Everyday Life12:17 – Real Questions People Are Asking Right Now13:49 – Unlocking Wisdom in Proverbs14:26 – God's Plan vs. My Plan15:23 – The Way of a Fool Seems Right16:32 – When Feelings Lead Us the Wrong Way17:54 – What Does “Fear of the Lord” Mean?19:25 – Fear of God Without Jesus20:10 – The Journey of Following Jesus20:35 – Fear of God as Reverence21:05 – Worshiping God with Reverence and Awe21:44 – Respectful Fear of God22:48 – A Child's Reverence for Their Parents24:15 – Reverential Respect25:03 – God Is the Creator, We Are His Creation25:56 – Reverence, Obedience, and Fellowship with God26:09 – True Wisdom Comes from Knowing Who God Is27:09 – Nothing Can Separate Us from God's Love28:44 – God Will Never Leave or Forsake Us29:12 – Fear of the Lord Shapes How We Live30:25 – Fear of God Drives Out Fear of Man30:58 – Obedience Leads to Deeper Relationship31:06 – Communion Moment32:27 – Reflecting and Remembering33:52 – Making Things Right with Jesus35:22 – Remembering What Jesus Has Done36:01 – Receiving the Bread36:42 – The Cup and the Blood of Jesus37:52 – Invitation to Begin a Relationship with Jesus39:17 – Salvation Prayer40:10 – Receiving the Cup40:13 – Worship Response45:15 – Kingdom Builders Light Bearers Project Update45:36 – Mike and Kayla Anderson Share46:18 – Why Kids Ministry Matters47:17 – Ways to Participate in Light Bearers48:24 – Invitation to Give48:43 – What's Next Resource49:03 – YouTube Outro

How might God use one praying life to awaken many? In John Hyde's life, we see Christ's command to “Pray for Laborers” lived out through fervent intercession, sacrificial evangelism, and deep dependence on Jesus. We are reminded that revival is often won first in the secret place, where God gives His people His own burden for souls. May we draw near to Christ, pray with holy urgency, and go gladly into His harvest field.

Generosity sounds great in theory, but when it comes down to practicing it, there can be tension. Vacations, home projects, dinners out…all SO tempting. But James reminds us of what’s important—helping people in need. On our own, we may not be able to do much, but together, we can do a lot.

In this episode of Pray the Word on Joshua 18:3, David Platt warns against delayed obedience and calls for faith-filled action.Explore more content from Radical.

Have you ever wondered if your small act of obedience is really making a difference?In today's episode, Meredith Brock and Kaley Olson sit down with author and pastor Jennie Lusko to talk about the moment her “yes” became deeply personal. When Jennie and her family traveled to Bolivia to meet three children they sponsor through Compassion International, what they experienced was far more than meaningful — it changed the way they see faith, generosity, and the people God has placed right in front of them.Through honest storytelling and spiritual insight, Jennie shares how stepping outside her everyday rhythm opened her eyes to what God had been doing all along.If you've ever questioned whether your obedience matters — this conversation will remind you that it does.You'll learn:Why it's easy to lose sight of the impact of your everyday obedience.How meeting her sponsored children reshaped Jennie's understanding of generosity.What children living in poverty taught her family about contentment and joy.How God uses simple acts of faith to create lasting, eternal impact.Why stepping outside your comfort zone can open your eyes to what God is doing.Resources From This Episode:Sponsor a child through Compassion International.When you sponsor a child, you help provide access to education, medical care, nutritious food, clean water, and the hope of Jesus — all delivered through a local church in their community.Get Jennie Lusko's devotional Fresh Mercies Every Day.This 40-day devotional offers encouragement to help you build breathing room for your soul and experience God's fresh mercies in your everyday life.Download a copy of the transcript for this episode.Want More on This Topic? Listen to “Am I Really Called to THIS?” with Nicki Koziarz.
