Mary Slessor’s compassionate heart led her to open her arms to those in need. The Scottish missionary, born in 1848, served among the people of Okoyong in a distant land. Superstition led people of that region to believe that when twins were born, one was good and one was the child of a demon. This often led to both twins dying—being abandoned to starvation or other dangers. Reflecting the loving heart of God, in time Mary helped save hundreds of the at-risk children, adopting nine as her own! In his inspired words to the rebellious nation of Israel, the prophet Hosea offers a glimpse into God’s caring heart for children. The prophet said of Him, “In you the fatherless find compassion” (14:3). Hosea stated that God cared for His own and desired to “love them freely” (v. 4). But they needed to turn from their defiance of Him and embrace His ways. They were instructed to turn from pagan deities to the true God who cares for the most helpless, the orphans. And if they returned to God, they’d find forgiveness from the one who would “receive [them] graciously” (vv. 1-2). As we open our arms to those around us, including at-risk children, we reflect the love of God. Let’s embrace His compassionate heart and extend His care to those in need as He helps us.

In this message, Pastor Patrick Bayo explores the danger of spiritual perversion and the importance of remaining faithful to God's truth. Drawing from Acts chapter 13 and Genesis 3, he examines how deception distorts God's Word and leads people away from His purpose. Through the examples of Elymas the sorcerer and the fall of Adam and Eve, this sermon challenges believers to discern truth from lies, resist compromise, and stay rooted in the true ways of the Lord.

This Sunday we introduced an opportunity for our church to rally behind local moms, dads, and babies facing crisis and unplanned pregnancies. Through our partnership with Open Arms Pregnancy Care Center, we're seeking to fully fund “Infinite Worth” — a 24/7 nurse chat and texting service that connects abortion-minded women in real time with licensed, pro-life nurses offering truth, compassion, medical guidance, and hope.These conversations often happen late at night, outside of clinic hours, and in moments marked by fear, panic, isolation, and pressure. Infinite Worth steps directly into those moments with immediate care and a pathway toward life, support, and ongoing relationship through local pregnancy centers like Open Arms.Our goal is to fund this ministry for at least one year — and hopefully two — as a tangible way of protecting life and serving vulnerable families in our community.In the drop down menu for “Fund” select “Infinite Worth”https://alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

Pastor John shares a powerful message from Acts 6–7 on “The God Who Is There.” Through Stephen's defence before the Sanhedrin, we are reminded that God is not confined to a building or tradition, He is present with His people everywhere.

In this message from the “Revival to Revolution” series, Pastor Brian explores Acts 8:26–40 and the story of Philip and the Ethiopian official.

Discover how God calls us to “go to one,” why the door to faith is already open for many people, and how the good news of Jesus brings clarity, peace, grace, and joy. A timely and encouraging message about evangelism, revival, and the life-changing power of the Gospel.

In this message, Ps. Alan unpacks the true meaning of the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. From creation to the fall, from sin to salvation, this sermon explains why the world is broken and how God has made a way to restore us through His Son. Discover how sin separates us from God, why the cross was necessary, and how Jesus' death and resurrection bring forgiveness, freedom, and new life. This message also explores what it means to be born again, to receive the Holy Spirit, and to step into a new identity as part of God's family. A powerful and practical teaching that equips you to understand, live, and share the gospel with confidence.

In this message from Luke 24, we follow the journey of two disciples who had lost all hope, until they encountered the risen Jesus. What once felt like confusion, disappointment, and despair is transformed as Christ restores what was broken. This sermon explores how hope can lose its goal, pathway, meaning, and support, but how Jesus meets us in those moments to rebuild and renew. He doesn't just give hope — He is our hope. A powerful reminder that no matter how lost things may feel, Jesus restores hope, renews purpose, and brings life where it once seemed impossible.

This week, we look at Matthew Ch. 11 and the tension between who people expected Jesus to be and who He actually is. As the crowds cry “Hosanna,” longing for rescue, Jesus moves not toward political victory, but toward the cross. It's a reminder that we often struggle when Jesus doesn't follow our script. We […] The post Matthew 11 – Questions, Critics, and the Open Arms of Jesus appeared first on Sierra Bible Church.

In this message from Acts 6, we see how the early church stayed focused on what mattered most in the midst of growth, pressure, and distraction. As challenges arose, they remained committed to prayer and the Word. This sermon reminds us that true impact comes from a life marked by God's grace, power, and wisdom, living out a faith that is both Spirit-filled and active. A simple but powerful call to keep Christ first, above all else.

In this message, Ps. Brian Somerville challenges us to confront the gap between how our faith appears and how it truly is. Drawing from Joshua 7 and Acts 5, we see how hidden sin can affect not just our lives, but the whole community. This sermon calls us to live with honesty before God, naming our truth, confessing what's hidden, and rooting our identity in Christ. A powerful reminder that real freedom is found in truth, not appearance.

In this message from Acts 4, we see how the early church faced opposition yet continued to grow with boldness and power. When Peter and John are challenged for preaching in the name of Jesus, they refuse to stay silent, declaring that salvation is found in no one else. This sermon highlights how courage comes from being with Jesus, how pressure drives the church to prayer, and how unity releases God's power. A powerful reminder that when the Spirit fills God's people, the church becomes unstoppable.

From Acts 3, this message shows how a Spirit-empowered church moves from revival to action. A man lame from birth is healed in the name of Jesus, shifting the atmosphere from paralysis to praise. The miracle becomes a message, calling people to repent and experience times of refreshing from the Lord. A powerful reminder that what we carry in Christ is greater than silver or gold. It's time to rise up.

A clear call to be filled, refined, and empowered to build bridges and live on mission for God.

In this message, Ps. Brian unpacks Acts 2 and shows why Pentecost is not just a historical moment, but a power we can trust today. Rooted in the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, Pentecost reveals how the exalted Christ pours out His Spirit and remains actively present in the world. From the cross that removes guilt, to the resurrection that defeats death, to the ascension that establishes Christ's lordship, Pentecost brings God home to His people. It marks the birth of the Church and the moment mission moves from human resolve to divine power. In a world filled with competing voices and fragile authority, this message reveals an authority we can trust and a transforming power even the sceptic can see.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth explore what it truly means to honour God by giving Him our first and best. Drawing from Genesis 4, Proverbs 3, and Matthew 6, this teaching reveals that generosity is not just about what we give, but the context of our heart and the priority we place on God in our lives. Through the story of Cain and Abel, we see that giving God our first requires faith, reflects obedience, and positions us for His favour and direction. This message ultimately points us to the greatest example of generosity, God giving His first for us through Jesus Christ.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth explores the heart of generosity and how it brings breakthrough by enlarging our world. Drawing from Proverbs 11:24–25 and 2 Corinthians 9:6, he shows that generosity is not limited to finances, but is a posture of spirit, speech, and action, expressed through our time, talents, resources, and words. This short message encourages us to sow generously, bless others, and discover the abundance that flows from living with a generous heart.

In this episode, we sit down with Hannah Kurtz, a pastor's wife, homeschool mama, and soon-to-be mom of six, to share the twists and turns of her family's ministry journey. Hannah and her husband, Thor, began full-time ministry in 2017, eventually following a mission-trip “divine detour” to Lincoln, Illinois, where Thor now serves as the youth pastor at Open Arms.Hannah opens up about their transition to a new church—including the unique challenge of living on a college campus in the middle of being converted into their church campus. She shares honestly about grieving the move, navigating ministry on unfamiliar ground, and the quiet emotional weight pastors' wives often carry.With humor (yes, Thor collects strange items just to scare people), warmth, and deep faith, Hannah talks about community support, prayer, and the unexpected joy of watching God's provision—like her son praying for a baby brother before they even knew one was coming. Her story is full of resilience, hope, and the reminder that ministry transitions are hard… but never walked alone.Key TakeawaysA mission trip led them to an unexpected new calling in Lincoln, IL.They lived on a college campus while it was being transformed into the church campus.Transitioning to a new church brought emotional challenges and grief.Community support is essential for pastors and their families.Prayer played a major role in their family's story—from ministry decisions to a son praying for a baby brother.Having a strong network of pastors' wives makes all the difference.God's faithfulness is evident in every twist, detour, and new beginning.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?
