Podcasts about pastor craig

A conversation about miraculous gifts with Pastor Craig, Danny Kurimay of Bridge Church, and Pete Shambrook of Cedarhouse.

Pastor Craig share with us the importance of RISE focusing on engaging others in using their gifts.

 In the second-to-last week of 1st Timothy, Pastor Craig tells us how we gotta flee, but sometimes we gotta fight! We fight the good fight of faith by pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. We win the daily battle by keeping our chin up! Not just physically but spiritually as we set our eyes on the horizon! We take hold of eternal life! We seize it! Our reward awaits.

This week Pastor Craig unpacks one of Jesus' most liberating truths: we don't own anything — we steward everything.When we see our lives, resources, and opportunities as gifts entrusted by God, it transforms fear into freedom and greed into joyful generosity.Discover how shifting from ownership to stewardship opens the door to deeper peace, greater purpose, and a life aligned with God's Kingdom.

In this week's message, Pastor Craig explores the prophet Haggai's call to courage — and how God's Spirit empowers us to rebuild what seems broken. Through stories of Frederick Douglass's bold step toward freedom and the faithful persistence of those who rebuilt the temple, we learn that courage isn't the absence of fear but the confidence that God is with us.Discover how God's presence still builds the house — in our hearts, our homes, and our church community.

God promises to guide us, but what does that mean? How do we know what He wants us to do—especially when our path in life becomes unclear?    www.ladies4Jesus.org

In this message, Pastor Craig Stephens teaches from Isaiah 58 on how real worship is more than songs and Sunday routines. It's worship that moves outward toward others. When we love God vertically, it should overflow into compassion for people horizontally. This is the kind of faith that changes cities. Historically, Christians led in starting hospitals, caring for the poor, and showing up where needs were visible — and we're called to continue that same kind of love today. Join us as we talk about what it means to serve our neighbors, care for the vulnerable, and practice a faith that blesses others and invites the blessing of God into our own lives.

This episode invites you to climb the watchtower, write the vision, wait for God's timing, reject pride, and keep walking by faith.

WEEK 4 | READY LEADERSHIP FORMATIONFight Ready: A Study in 1 Timothy | Pastor Craig TurnbullIn this week's message from 1 Timothy 3:1–16, Pastor Craig explores God's perfect design for church leadership. Paul's letter to Timothy lays out two distinct roles—elders who lead like Christ and deacons who serve like Christ. These roles are not about status or skill but about godly character and humble obedience to God's Word.Through this passage, we learn that the church is called to be a pillar and foundation of truth, standing firm against compromise by raising up leaders who reflect Jesus in how they lead, teach, and serve.Key Takeaways:God's design for leadership is rooted in character and submission to His will.Elders shepherd the church through teaching, prayer, and spiritual oversight.Deacons meet practical needs, protect unity, and release pastors to pastor.The church must pray for, encourage, and follow its leaders as they follow Christ.Healthy leadership strengthens the whole body and magnifies the gospel.Related Scriptures:1 Timothy 3:1–16Acts 6:1–7Titus 1:5–9Hebrews 13:7, 17This message reminds us that when leaders lead like Christ and the church follows with humility and grace, the truth of Jesus shines through the world.Need prayer?

WEEK 3 | READY FOR STRATEGIC PRAYERFight Ready: A Study in 1 Timothy | Pastor Craig TurnbullIn this week's message from 1 Timothy 2:1–15, Pastor Craig teaches that a fight ready church is a praying church. Before tackling leadership or teaching roles, Paul urges Timothy to make prayer the first and most vital work of the church. Prayer is not preparation for the battle—it is the battle.Paul calls believers to pray for all people, including those in authority, to pursue peace, and to live lives marked by holiness and self-control. This passage also addresses difficult cultural and theological questions, reminding us that every command of God is rooted in His wisdom, love, and order for the church.Key Takeaways:Prayer must come first—it's the most powerful weapon we have.Strategic prayer changes hearts, churches, and nations.God calls men to pray without anger and women to pursue godliness with humility.The gospel calls us to truth, holiness, and unity, not division.A fight ready church prays first, speaks truth, and walks in self-control.Related Scriptures:1 Timothy 2:1–15Ephesians 6:18–20Philippians 4:6–7Romans 12:12A church can have great music, strong teaching, and impressive programs—but without prayer, it has no power. This message reminds us that being fight ready means being prayer ready.Need prayer? Visit bannockburnchurch.com/prayer

Fight Ready | Week 1 – Ready to Identify the EnemyWEEK 1 | READY TO IDENTIFY THE ENEMYFight Ready Series | Pastor Craig TurnbullIn the launch of our new series Fight Ready, Pastor Craig walks through 1 Timothy 1:1–11, where Paul calls Timothy to stay faithful in the midst of false teaching and cultural opposition. The message is clear: the Christian life is a fight worth winning, and it starts by knowing who the real enemy is.Paul's words remind us that the battle isn't against culture or people—it's about guarding the truth of the gospel against distortion. To be fight ready, we must stay rooted in God's Word, reject falsehood, and take hold of the real good news.Key Takeaways:The church's main battle is for the truth of the gospel.False teaching produces confusion and distraction, while truth produces faith and love.Paul equips Timothy with grace, mercy, and peace—the foundation of spiritual strength.Being fight ready means guarding the gospel as the most precious treasure entrusted to us.Related Scriptures:1 Timothy 1:1–11Acts 20:28–31Ephesians 6:10–13Galatians 3:24This message will encourage you to stop swinging at the wrong battles and start guarding the truth that actually wins.Need prayer?

Pastor Craig unpacks John 3:22–36, where John the Baptist declares, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” This passage becomes the foundation for our year-long theme at Bannockburn: to magnify Jesus in every area of life.John's humility at a crossroads moment in his ministry shows us what it means to surrender the stage to Christ. As his influence fades and Jesus takes center stage, John reminds us that true joy and purpose are found not in exalting ourselves, but in exalting the Savior.This message challenges us to live with a Christ-centered perspective—letting Jesus be magnified in our marriages, families, work, generosity, worship, and witness.Key Takeaways:- Life is not about us—it's about Jesus being magnified.- True joy is found in exalting Christ, not self.- Humility is essential to spiritual growth.- Jesus is preeminent, limitless in power, and the only one worthy of center stage.Our purpose is fulfilled when we decrease and allow Him to increase.Related Scriptures:John 3:22–36Isaiah 40:3–5John 1:29–34Philippians 2:5–11If you've been struggling with pride, self-focus, or the need for control, this message is a call to release it all and let Jesus be magnified in your life.Need prayer?
