Most of us got our picture of hell from a movie, a cartoon, or an angry preacher, not from the Bible. So this week Pastor David opens the Bible on hell and reads it honestly, as much and as little as it actually says.“Hell” is one word in English, but four words in the Bible. Sheol, Hades, Tartarus, and Gehenna got flattened into one, and a thousand years of medieval imagery got poured in behind it.Jesus describes Gehenna in pictures, not floor plans. Whatever else hell is, he keeps calling it a place of real and terrible loss.Hell was made for the devil and his angels, not for people. The devil isn't hell's manager, he's hell's first inmate.Jesus defeated hell, so you don't have to go. The keys of death and Hades are in nail-scarred hands.Every warning Jesus gave about hell, he gave on his way to a cross to make sure you'd never go there.Scriptures: Matthew 25:31-41; Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:31; Luke 16:22-23; Mark 9:47-48; Revelation 1:17-18; Revelation 20:12-15; Luke 23:42-43; John 3:16-17Facebook: / believerscenter Instagram: / believerscenter Giving: https://pushpay.com/g/believerscenter First Time: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797243 Salvation / Rededication: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797600#BelieversCenter #Hell #Grace #JesusThanks so much for listening to the Believers Center podcast!

We are living in an age of explosive information. Over the past twenty years, information has become available at our fingertips in seconds. You can search the internet, ask Siri, Google, get help from AI. However helpful these things may be, as a follower of Christ, you and I are called to be “People of the Word.” Our source of instruction and inspiration must be the Word of God.Today, Pastor David preaches a message entitled “Do You… Believe God's Word?” You do not want to miss this message.
07-12-2026 Ephesians Series – Week 9 | Ephesians 4:17-32 | Pastor David Nunn What does it really mean to be holy? In Week 9 of our Ephesians series, Pastor David Nunn explores Ephesians 4:17-32 and challenges the common belief that holiness is achieved by trying harder or following a list of rules. While Paul gives practical instructions for Christian living—telling believers to stop lying, control their anger, avoid stealing, speak words that build others up, and practice kindness and forgiveness—the deeper message is that these behaviors are not the cause of holiness, but the result of a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Pastor David walks through Paul's argument in Ephesians, reminding us that throughout the letter, salvation, transformation, and spiritual growth are presented as the work of God's grace, not human effort. Through Christ, believers have been redeemed, adopted into God's family, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to become a new humanity united in love. This message highlights the difference between striving for individual righteousness and participating in God's work of shaping His people into the body of Christ. True spiritual transformation happens as believers live in community, encourage one another, and join the Holy Spirit in building up the church. Key Takeaways: Holiness cannot be achieved—it can only be received. Christian living flows from relationship, not rule-keeping. The church is being formed into the fullness of Christ together. The evidence of spiritual growth is truthfulness, self-control, generosity, encouragement, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. Jesus' command to "love one another as I have loved you" remains the foundation of Christian life. As followers of Christ, we are called to lean into the work of the Holy Spirit, encourage one another, and help build the church into the full measure of Christ's likeness. Scripture: Ephesians 4:17-32

What if prayer was never meant to begin with your words—but with your attention?Many believers approach God carrying shame, striving, distractions, or a long list of requests. But what if the greatest invitation of prayer is simply to behold Jesus and discover that He is already delighting in you?In this encouraging message, Pastor David Morgan shares how the finished work of Christ has given every believer permanent access to the Father. Through righteousness, we are invited into a friendship with God that goes far beyond religion, performance, or simply having our prayers answered. As we fix our eyes on Jesus, we become more like Him and experience the peace, joy, and intimacy He always intended for His children.In this teaching, you'll learn:• Why we become what we behold• The difference between religion and friendship with God• What it means to pray from righteousness instead of striving• Why God delights in His sons and daughters• How busyness can quietly rob us of intimacy with God• Why Jesus Himself is our greatest reward• What it looks like to prepare a straight path in your heart for His presence• How returning to God's presence transforms every area of lifeThe Lord is not inviting you into another religious routine—He's inviting you into communion. As we behold Jesus, we discover the God who has always desired to walk closely with us, just as He did from the very beginning.**Key Scriptures:**Romans 5:1–2Matthew 3:3Matthew 3:171 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Sundays at 8:30 & 10:30 AMWe are branded by the fire of God.

Podcast / Livestream DescriptionWhat does generosity reveal about your heart?In this message, Pastor David explores one of Jesus' most surprising teachings on money through the story of the widow's offering in Mark 12. While the world measures generosity by the size of the gift, Jesus measures it by the heart behind it.Through powerful stories of unexpected generosity, practical wisdom on money, and biblical teaching on tithing and stewardship, you'll discover that generosity isn't an amount, it's an attitude.Whether you're taking your first step in giving, learning to trust God with your finances, or wondering how your resources can make an eternal difference, this message will challenge you to see your money through the lens of God's kingdom.Because when we invest in eternity, the echo of our generosity outlives us.// SCRIPTURE REFERENCES //Mark 12:41-44, Acts 17:24-25, II Corinthians 9:12-14, Proverbs 3:9-10, Leviticus 27:30, Matthew 6:21More info at the Bible Project: https://bibleproject.com/videos/mark/ // TAKE A NEXT STEP //Want to visit or discover more about Columbia View?

You will see how Jesus' authority, clear purpose, and constant presence free us from pressure and call us into faithful obedience right where we are. Be encouraged that you do not need to have it all together to make a difference and discover how your everyday life can become part of something that changes lives, families, and communities.

Semana 11, Problemas, Prioridades, Límites y Soluciones | Pastor David Chan by
Happy Father's Day to all the dads!In this message, Pastor David will walk us through the father and son story of Abraham & Isaac and how it relates to us today.
Pastor David continues our series in the Sermon on the Mount with his exposition of Matthew 5:8.OUTLINE(V8A) THE CONDITION OF THE PURE IN HEART;Genesis 6:5Jeremiah 17:9-101 Samuel 16:7Psalm 24:3-6Proverbs 20:9Acts 15:8-9Jeremiah 31:33-341 Peter 1:22(V8B) THE CONDUCT OF THE PURE IN HEART;Matthew 23:25-26; 27-28Jeremiah 31:31Ezekiel 11:19-20Matthew 22:372 Timothy 2:221 Peter 1:14-16 (Leviticus 11:44)Matthew 6:20-21(V8C) (AND) THE VISION FOR THE PURE IN HEART.1 Timothy 6:16Exodus 12:8bDeuteronomy 34:10aExodus 33:18-23John 1:18John 3:3John 14:9b1 John 3:2Revelation 22:1-5Psalm 24:6Numbers 6:24-27
Riches Through Giving What is the richest thing a person can give? Is it money, possessions, opportunities, or something more? In this Father’s Day message, Pastor David explores a surprising truth found throughout Scripture: while the world says riches come from accumulation, God says riches come from generosity. Drawing from Proverbs 11, Luke 6, Acts 20, and the powerful example of John 3:16, we’ll discover that generosity is about far more than finances. It’s about living with open hands and open hearts.Through a personal story involving a green pillow, a son, a daughter, and a lesson in character, we’ll explore how some of the most valuable things we can ever give away are attention, patience, wisdom, identity, direction, honor, and love. Along the way, we’ll uncover a Kingdom principle that appears again and again throughout Scripture: what leaves your hand is not always lost. Often, it is planted.If Proverbs teaches that giving creates flourishing, Luke teaches that giving multiplies, and Acts teaches that giving blesses the giver, then John 3:16 reveals the foundation beneath them all: giving is the very nature of God. Because the richest gift ever given was not something God owned. It was Himself. Proverbs 11, Luke 6, Acts 20, John 3:16 Discussion topics HEAD – What did Jesus say to you through the Word? Pastor David shared that: Proverbs teaches that giving creates flourishing. (Prov 11:24-25) Luke teaches that giving multiplies. (Luke 6:38) Acts teaches that giving blesses the giver. (Acts 20:35) John teaches giving is the nature of God. (John 3:16) Which of the four points from this week’s message stood out to you the most, and why? How did this message expand your understanding of generosity beyond money? Or did it? What’s one lesson you learned from your dad, or father figure, that you still carry with you today? Was it a lesson you want to repeat or one you hope to avoid? How has it influenced your life? HEART – How did it make you feel? Pastor David said, “The things we give away often become the things that make us richest.” Where have you experienced that to be true in your own life? Which of these is hardest for you to give away right now? Time Attention Patience Forgiveness Encouragement Wisdom Money Trust Why do you think that is? Which statement from the sermon resonated most with you personally? “The world says riches come from accumulation. God says riches come from generosity.” “What leaves your hand is not always lost. Often, it is planted.” “The life you pour out eventually becomes the life you experience.” “The greatest inheritance isn’t what you leave behind. It’s what you place inside.” HANDS – What are you going to do with it? Who is one person you can intentionally invest in this week through your time, encouragement, wisdom, or presence? Is there an area of your life where you have been holding on too tightly? What would it look like to trust God with open hands instead?

Foolish Confounds the Wise What if the very thing you trust most is the thing keeping you from seeing God clearly? For centuries, people have struggled with Jesus for the same reason. The Jews wanted power. The Greeks wanted wisdom. The Romans wanted strength. Yet God sent a crucified Savior. What looked foolish to the world became the very wisdom and power of God. In this message, we’ll explore Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 1 and uncover why the gospel still challenges our assumptions today. Why do some people embrace the cross while others reject it? Why do we so often trust our own logic, intelligence, expectations, and abilities instead of God’s ways? And what wisdom have we embraced that might be making Jesus harder to recognize? The gospel is not advice about how to become a better version of yourself. It is the announcement of what God has already done through Christ. Because every culture has a kind of wisdom that makes Jesus harder to recognize, but God’s wisdom is still greater than our own. 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Discussion topics HEAD – What did Jesus say to you through the Word? What do you think Paul means when he says, “God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise”? Which of the five points from this week’s message stood out to you the most, and why? The gospel doesn’t fit our logic. The gospel cannot be discovered through intelligence alone. The gospel offends our expectations. God uses the wrong people. God’s method doesn’t impress the world. Pastor David said, “The gospel is not advice. It is news.” What is the difference between those two ideas? HEART – How did it make you feel? The message challenged us with this question: “What wisdom have we embraced that might be keeping us from seeing Jesus clearly?” How would you answer that personally? Examples of things that some people trust: Your own logic? Your own experience? Your own abilities? Other people’s opinions? Have you ever found yourself disappointed with God because He didn’t work the way you expected Him to work? Which statement hits closest to home right now? “The cross starts where self-help ends.” “Information can inform the mind, but only revelation transforms the heart.” “God often chooses people human wisdom wouldn’t even interview.” “The power was never in the packaging. The power was always in the message.” HANDS – What are you going to do with it? Is there a situation you’re currently trying to solve through effort, strategy, or control that may require surrender and prayer instead? Who is one person in your life that needs to hear the hope of the gospel? What is one practical step you can take to engage them this week? Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what’s next
