Baptism is a divine sacrament instituted by Christ as a visible sign and seal of the gospel, pointing believers to the one sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as the sole basis of salvation. It signifies and seals the cleansing of the soul from sin through the blood of Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit, not through the water itself, which is merely a symbol of spiritual purification. Pastor Jason emphasizes that baptism does not confer salvation or regeneration by virtue of the rite alone, but rather testifies to the reality of forgiveness and renewal that come by grace through faith in Christ's atoning death. Drawing from Scripture, including passages from Acts, 1 John, and Titus, it affirms that the Holy Spirit applies Christ's blood to believers, regenerating them not by human works but according to God's mercy. Ultimately, baptism is a powerful reminder of the believer's union with Christ and the ongoing work of the Spirit in sanctifying and renewing the soul.

The Gospel of Matthew shares that a value for Christian discipleship is both creating a welcoming space for children and pursuing their well-being in our communities.  This values isn't just something decided on, but comes from being swept up into God's story of grace and calling in Jesus. Today's message comes from Pastor Jason. Our bible reading is Psalm 127, and our Gospel comes from Matthew Chapter 9, verses 18 - 26.

The Holy Spirit is one of the most talked about (and least understood) persons in the Church.Some see Him as a force.Others see Him as an experience.Jesus revealed Him as a Person.In this message, we unpack the Promise of the Father and discover who the Holy Spirit is, what He does, and how He transforms everyday life.Using passages from John 16, Acts 1, Acts 2, Romans 8, and Galatians 5, we explore:• Why the Holy Spirit is a Person, not a power• How He convicts, comforts, and guides believers• What it means to be filled with the Spirit• The difference between spiritual gifts and spiritual fruit• How the Spirit empowers us to live holy and bold lives• Why revival has always been connected to the Holy Spirit• Practical ways to cultivate a daily relationship with HimThis message isn't just about learning about the Holy Spirit.It's about knowing Him.Before Jesus told His disciples to go into all the world, He told them to wait for one thing: the Promise of the Father.“Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you...” John 16:7

Have you ever wondered what the church is all about? In a world filled with opinions about what the church should be, it's easy to lose sight of what God Himself says the church is. This Sunday, we'll be looking at one of the most important descriptions of the church in all of Scripture. In our passage, Paul describes the church as “the household of God,” “the church of the living God,” and “a pillar and buttress of the truth.” These are not casual descriptions. They remind us that the church is not a building or an organization; it is the family Christ purchased with His own blood and the people entrusted with displaying God's truth to the world. After nearly 35 years in pastoral ministry, I can tell you it's not just about what a church believes, but also what she emphasizes. What a church treasures eventually shapes the hearts of her people. Paul understood this deeply, which is why he wrote to Timothy about how believers “ought to behave” in God's household. Everything flows from the truth of God's Word, so when truth is weakened, confusion enters. But when Christ and His gospel remain central, the church becomes stable, healthy, and spiritually alive. This passage calls us back to the center. We must remember who we are and whose we are. These verses culminate in one of the most beautiful summaries of Jesus Christ in the New Testament: “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness…” Paul then unfolds the glory of Christ. He is God manifested in the flesh, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, and taken up in glory. The church exists because Jesus revealed God, died for sinners, rose again, and gathered a people to Himself. As we study this passage together, we'll ask ourselves an important question: If the church is truly the household of God and the pillar of His truth, does the way I live and participate in the church reflect the glory of the Christ we proclaim?

This is a slightly different type of sermon.  This episode, Pastor Jason will recap how we arrived to our current worship status and how we will continue to grow the next generation of followers of Christ.

Pastor Jason walks through Acts 6:1-7, showing how the early church addressed growing pains by appointing deacons—Spirit-filled servant leaders who freed the apostles to focus on prayer and teaching. When God's people faithfully serve in their God-given roles, the church thrives and the kingdom grows. This message challenges us to be filled with the Spirit, find our place to serve, and trust God's design for healthy church leadership.

As the Witnesses series comes to a close, Pastor Jason examines the call of Christ to carry the gospel to the end of the earth. From our neighborhoods to the nations, believers are called to live on mission for the glory of God. This message culminates with a look at Revelation 7:9–12, where people from every tribe, tongue, and nation gather around God's throne in worship—the ultimate fulfillment of the church's missionary task.

Keep Your Eye on the Finish, Not the FailureIn this week's Sermon on the Mount message, Pastor Jason explores Jesus' teaching on lust, temptation, and the condition of the heart in Matthew 5. This message is not about legalism or simply modifying outward behavior, but about true inward transformation through the Kingdom of God. Jesus challenges us to consider what our eyes and hearts are focused on, reminding us that sin begins internally long before it becomes an outward action. Through wisdom, grace, and honesty, this message unpacks the progression of temptation, the dangers of feeding lust, and the importance of avoiding temptation rather than seeing how close we can get to it. Ultimately, Jesus reveals that the deeper issue is not just what we do, but who we are becoming at the soul level.Messages, teaching and encouragement from Pneuma Life Church pastors and leaders!

We are kicking off our Summer at Bethlehem series with a head-first dive into the life-changing power of God's Word. The Bible is not just ancient information; it is living, active, and timely. In this raw and deeply personal message, Pastor Jason opens up about his own years-long battle with anxiety to expose a universal truth: the biggest battle of your life is won and lost in the six-inch real estate between your ears - your MIND.   Preaching from Philippians 4:4-9, a passage written from the depths of a Roman prison rather than an Instagram motivational seminar, Pastor Jason teaches us that a healthy mind requires an intentional spiritual diet. If you have been trapped on an island of worry, playing out worst-case scenarios, this message serves as a practical guide to stop stuffing your emotions and start discipling your mind.

Many of our guests have been deeply entrenched in hunting and fishing their entire life. It just comes naturally to them.  Then there are others who didn't have anyone to show them how to enjoy the outdoor adventures and they learned on their own a little later in life. On today's program, we will learn from a pastor what it takes to learn on your own to hunt. We'll hear of mishaps and mistakes that brought a little knowledge because of learning from your mistakes.

What if loneliness isn't just a social problem? What if it reveals something about how God created us?In this Trinity Sunday message from 2 Corinthians 13:11-13, Pastor Jason Barnett explores the connection between loneliness, fellowship, and the nature of God. In a world filled with social media, texting, livestreams, and constant connection, many people still feel isolated, unseen, and alone.As Paul closes his letter to the Corinthians, he calls believers to restoration, encouragement, harmony, and peace before ending with one of the most beautiful blessings in Scripture: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."This message reminds us that fellowship is not merely a church activity—it is rooted in the very nature of God. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exist in perfect love and relationship, and through Jesus Christ we are invited into that life.If you've been struggling with loneliness, grief, discouragement, church hurt, or feeling disconnected from others, this sermon offers both hope and a practical invitation toward healing and community.Because a people created in the image of the Trinity cannot thrive alone.Send us Fan MailLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Taking a break from The Gospel According to John, Pastor Jason Polk shares an encouraging message from Jeremiah 1 about God's purpose and calling for every believer. Using Jeremiah's commissioning and personal stories of faith, Pastor Jason reminds us that while every Christian shares the same mission—to glorify God and make disciples—God uniquely calls each person to fulfill that purpose in different ways. If you've ever felt unqualified, insignificant, or uncertain about God's plan for your life, this message will encourage you to trust that you are known by God, significant to God, and called by God.   Jeremiah 1:4-10 Jeremiah 1:17-19 Psalm 139:1-18 2 Corinthians 5:17

In this message from John 15, Pastor Jason explores what true biblical love really looks like. While the world often defines love as a feeling, Jesus reveals that genuine love is self-sacrificial, rooted in obedience, strengthened through fellowship with God, and lived out through a mission to others. Discover how Christ's example of laying down His life transforms the way we love God, our neighbors, and even our enemies.

Sunday Morning Service

This Sunday, we'll continue our study through 1 Timothy as we come to chapter 3 and Paul's teaching on Elders and Deacons. At first glance, this passage can feel like it's only about church leadership, but as I've been studying it this week, I've been reminded that it gives us something much bigger: a picture of what spiritual maturity actually looks like. Paul spends very little time talking about talent, charisma, or personality, and instead focuses almost entirely on character: integrity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, humility, hospitality, and wisdom. In many ways, this passage answers the question every Christian eventually asks: What does a mature follower of Jesus look like? One of the things we'll explore together is how God's design for leadership is deeply different from the world's. The New Testament presents church leadership not as status or celebrity, but as sacrificial service. Paul even compares ministry labor to an ox treading grain. This is steady, faithful, often unseen work done for the nourishment of others. It's a powerful reminder that the church is not built on personalities or platforms, but on spiritually mature people who quietly and faithfully serve Christ and His people. My prayer is that this passage would not only challenge all those in leadership, but encourage every one of us to pursue the kind of character that reflects Jesus. I'm thankful for the many men and women in our church who already serve so faithfully, and I look forward to more gospel fruit as we continue building God's kingdom side by side.

Parenting can flip from a heartfelt blessing to a pants-related meltdown in under a minute, and that's not just funny, it's revealing. Pastor Jason shares a grounded, Bible-based parenting message that starts where most advice doesn't: our hearts. We dig into why your ability to be led by God directly impacts your ability to lead your children, and why integrity isn't about being perfect, it's about being whole. If you've felt pressure to “just know” what you're doing, this conversation replaces shame with a clear starting point and a better foundation.

Jesus' command to "do not judge" may be one of the most quoted and misunderstood statements in the Bible. In this practical message from Matthew 7, Pastor Jason explores the difference between discernment and condemnation, the danger of self-righteousness, and why followers of Jesus are called to be full of both grace and truth. Discover how humility, wisdom, and compassion can transform the way we see and treat others.

In this opening sermon of a series through the book of Colossians, Pastor Jason introduces the theme of “whatever you do” from Colossians 3:17, challenging believers to move away from a cafeteria-style approach to faith where they pick and choose what is comfortable. The core idea is that everything in life is spiritual, and every moment is an opportunity to act in the name of Jesus and give thanks to God. Paul's letter to the Colossians was written to correct false teaching that added requirements on top of Jesus, and before correcting the church, Paul affirms their faith, love, and hope rooted in eternity. The sermon focuses on four foundational beliefs about Jesus drawn from Colossians chapter one. First, Jesus created everything, so we should surrender everything to Him. Second, Jesus rescued us from darkness, so we can fully rely on Him rather than straining in our own strength. Third, Jesus defines us, presenting us without blemish before God, so we can live secure in that identity rather than being driven by guilt, shame, or performance. Fourth, Jesus holds all things together, so we must hold tight to Him and guard against the slow drift away from the gospel. He challenges each person to identify one area of life where Jesus is treated more like decoration than foundation, and to let their beliefs reshape their actions.

This Memorial Day weekend, Student Pastor CJ brings a high-energy message challenging us to wake up to the spiritual reality of the world we live in. We often live like we are in peacetime, but a spiritual war is raging all around us.   Drawing from Ephesians 6 and a trip down memory lane to Sunday school "Lord's Army" days, CJ reminds us that God's movement isn't confined to our walls. To be a follower of Christ is to be a soldier in the army of God, and the Church is the vehicle He uses to take ground. In this message on the heels of the Church Unbranded series, we are challenged to stop trading conviction for comfort, step off the bench, and start fighting from victory alongside a community that has our back.

Tune in as Pastor Jason continues our series on Matthew with a sermon on waiting for Jesus' return while also continuing the work. 

What does the Bible really mean when it talks about "the rod"?For generations, many Christians have heard the phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child" and assumed Proverbs 13:24 was primarily about punishment. But what if the image behind the proverb is much deeper than we realize?In this message, Nicole Barnett explores the Hebrew language and imagery behind the "rod," uncovering connections to shepherds, kings, protection, guidance, and responsibility. Through personal testimony and biblical reflection, she challenges us to consider how authority is meant to be used—not as a weapon of fear, but as a tool of care.Whether you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, pastor, or simply someone trying to follow Jesus faithfully, this message asks a powerful question: What image of Christ are we showing to the people entrusted to our care?Send us Fan MailLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

If you like the more challenging and controversial passages of Scripture, then you won't want to miss this Sunday! (Pray for me!) We'll be reading from one of the most often debated sections found in the entire Bible. It speaks directly to the roles of men and women in the life of the church, which means it touches on deeply personal and sometimes sensitive matters. As we approach it together, I hope we do so with open Bibles and open hearts. The goal is to understand what God is actually saying and how we can faithfully live it out as His people. In this passage, Paul gives instructions to both men and women in the context of corporate worship. He calls men away from anger and division toward prayer marked by holiness, and he calls women away from external emphasis toward godliness expressed through good works. What becomes clear is that Paul isn't stereotyping; he's shepherding. He's addressing the ways our natural tendencies can become distorted when the gospel isn't shaping us, and he's calling the whole church back to a life of humility, order, and maturity in Christ. We'll also wrestle with some of the harder verses about teaching and authority. Here we want to be careful and thoughtful and, as always, led by a desire to be faithful to all of Scripture. This isn't about restrictions; it's about God's design for a healthy, flourishing church. Each of us has a vital role to play as we become all He wants us to be. The call is to continue in faith, love, holiness, and self-control, trusting that God is always working to shape His people for His glory.

Pastor Jason unpacks the sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira from Acts 4-5, challenging us to drop the mask of spiritual performance and embrace radical honesty in Christian community. Hypocrisy still kills today—not always immediately, but over time—destroying marriages, friendships, and faith. God's grace is abundant, but sin still matters deeply to Him, and the church thrives when we confess our struggles rather than hide behind appearances of having it all together.

Luke writes the story of the ascension twice. The main elements of the two match up, but differ in some of the details., but why? We explore the stories and how the perspective may change depending upon the audience. This message is brought to us by Pastor Jason. The Gosple comes from Luke, Chapter 24, versess 44 - 53, and is compared to the story of ascension from Acts Chapter 1 Verses 6 -11.

When the drought was severe and the nation had turned away from God, the Lord raised up the prophet Elijah to remind His people that true hope and strength come from Him alone. In this powerful message from 1 Kings 18, Pastor Jason explores how God works through weary people, strengthens those who obey Him, and sends breakthrough after seasons of waiting.Elijah stood before King Ahab during one of Israel's darkest spiritual moments and declared that rain was coming, even before he could see a cloud in the sky. After praying persistently and trusting God completely, a small cloud appeared, and soon the heavens opened with a mighty rain. This story reminds us that God's promises often begin with small signs of hope and that His power shows up when our own strength runs out.In this message, discover:Why God sometimes allows spiritual “droughts”The meaning behind Elijah's name: “Yahweh is my God”How God empowers exhausted and discouraged peopleWhy obedience often comes before breakthroughThe biblical significance of the number sevenWhat it means to walk and run WITH God instead of trying to run FOR HimHow God's hand still strengthens believers todayIf you've been tired, discouraged, or tempted to quit, this message will encourage you to trust God in the waiting season. The same God who strengthened Elijah still gives supernatural strength, endurance, and hope to His people today.
