This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 2 Samuel 8–9, where we see David faithfully leading Israel as God gives him victory wherever he goes. In the midst of his success, David remembers his covenant with Jonathan and extends unexpected kindness to Mephibosheth, welcoming him to the king's table. These chapters remind us that God's blessings are meant to overflow into the lives of others and that His covenant love is shown through grace and compassion. Like Mephibosheth, we have been shown undeserved kindness and invited into the King's presence.Text: 2 Samuel 8–9 Recorded: July 19, 2026

In this message from Psalm 146, Pastor Jim explores the justice of God and why His people are called to reflect it in the world. Unlike earthly leaders whose plans eventually perish, God reigns forever, remains faithful, and actively cares for the oppressed, the hungry, the imprisoned, the blind, the fatherless, the widow, and the stranger. Jesus reveals this justice fully by drawing near to the vulnerable, welcoming outsiders, and enduring injustice Himself to bring forgiveness and freedom. Because God has rescued and raised us up, we are called to praise Him, do justice, love mercy, and join His work of bringing healing and wholeness to others.

Have you lost your joy? Your calling? Your family? Take heart. Jesus recovers stolen property. Tell Him what you need back today.

7/19/2026 - Living From a Different Reality Part 3: From Orphan to Sons and Daughters - Pastor Jim Baker by Zion Christian Fellowship

Join us this Sunday for worship as as Pastor Jim explores what Jesus meant by the parable of the Pearl of Great Price.

As part of Family Church's 65th Anniversary Service, Pastor Jim preached a message on the biblical virtue of gratitude, reminding believers that thankfulness is at the heart of the Christian life. Drawing from Luke 17 and the story of the ten lepers, he challenged the congregation to be like the one who returned to thank Jesus with humility and worship. Pastor Jim also showed from Colossians, Philippians, and 1 Thessalonians that gratitude strengthens faith, combats anxiety and complaining, serves as a witness to others, and sustains believers through suffering. The service concluded with the Lord's Supper, celebrating Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection with hearts full of thanksgiving.New here or need prayer?We would love to connect with you. Visit: https://form.church/connectionGive online: https://subsplash.com/u/-QJD4RD/give

When was the last time you had a spiritual checkup? In part one of this honest and energizing two-part series, Pastor Jim walks through six vital areas of assessment.  Starting from your priorities and physical stewardship, to your relationships, finances, social media habits, and ministry involvement to help you make sure your life is truly on course for God. With his trademark humor and hard-won personal wisdom, Pastor Jim opens up about a season in his own life when things were dangerously out of line and what it took to get back on track. This message is a practical, eye-opening invitation to stop ignoring the warning signs, do the assessment, and make the adjustments that lead to a life of purpose, health, and lasting fruitfulness.

This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 2 Samuel 7, one of the most significant chapters in the life of David. As David desires to build a house for the Lord, God responds by promising to build a lasting house for David instead—a kingdom that will ultimately be fulfilled through Jesus Christ. This covenant reminds us that God's plans are always greater than our own and that His promises never fail. The passage points us to the faithfulness of God, who keeps His word from generation to generation.Text: 2 Samuel 7 Recorded: July 12, 2026

Welcome to Real Life... Church for Everyone. As we gather this week both in-person and remotely, join us, with Jim Miller and today's message entitled, "How Does Prayer Work" TODAY'S MESSAGE "Jesus called us to a radical kind of prayer in which we trust him for literally everything and pray like we can have anything. Yet all of us have the experience of unanswered prayer. What are the elements of effective prayer?"

In this message from Psalm 33, Pastor Jim explores why our hope belongs in God rather than in our own plans, strength, or circumstances. Because God is faithful, righteous, just, and full of unfailing love, we can trust His character even when we cannot see how our stories will unfold. His fatherly care reminds us that He sees our needs, while His sovereignty assures us that His purposes will stand through every generation. The cross and resurrection ultimately reveal that even when evil appears to prevail, God is still working for His glory and the good of His people.

Pastor Jim uses the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22 to explore the profound nature of spiritual testing. He differentiates between satanic temptation, which seeks to expose human evil, and divine testing, which aims to cultivate and reveal a believer's faith. Central to the message is the concept of obedience as worship, illustrating that a person's true devotion is proven when they prioritize God over their most cherished earthly loves. He further identifies the ram provided by God as a precursor to substitutionary atonement, drawing a direct parallel between Isaac's reprieve and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Finally, he emphasizes that enduring these "fiery trials" with integrity serves as a generational legacy, teaching families how to trust God's providence. Through this lens, human existence is defined not by the pursuit of comfort, but by the glorification of the Creator under all circumstances.Support the showThanks for listening!

Join us tonight as Pastor Jim brings a special message entitled “The Bible and UAPs (UFOs)", he reveals what the Bible says and how we can see the demonic forces behind this belief.

In this message from Psalm 96, Pastor Jim explores worship as a response to who God is, what He has done, and the salvation He brings. He shows how worship is more than singing on Sunday, but a daily proclamation that the Lord reigns. As God's people declare His glory, worship becomes mission, pointing the nations to the King who rules with righteousness, justice, and truth. Ultimately, Psalm 96 reminds us that all creation will rejoice when God makes all things new through Jesus.

What does the Bible really say about money? Is it true that "money is the root of all evil," or have we misunderstood one of Scripture's most quoted verses?In this message from 1 Timothy 6:6-10, Scott Odom challenges a common misconception by showing that the Bible doesn't condemn money itself—it warns against the love of money. While money is a gift that can be used for good, allowing it to become the focus of our hearts can lead us away from contentment and ultimately away from God.Through Paul's instructions to Timothy, Pastor Jim explains why spiritual growth is far more valuable than financial success, how the pursuit of wealth often steals our contentment, and why true satisfaction can only be found in Christ. Drawing from Philippians 4, Hebrews 13, and Ecclesiastes 5, he also explores Paul's "secret" to contentment and how believers can experience lasting peace regardless of their circumstances.In this message you'll discover:• What 1 Timothy 6 actually teaches about money• The difference between having money and loving money• Why contentment is the antidote to greed• How the pursuit of wealth can quietly shape our priorities• The biblical secret to lasting contentment• Why Christ—not possessions—is the only source of true satisfaction• Practical questions to evaluate where your trust really liesWhether you're struggling with financial stress, chasing success, or simply wondering what the Bible teaches about wealth, this message offers timeless wisdom that points us away from temporary treasures and toward the lasting joy found in Jesus Christ.

The gospel, honored; the gospel, rejected. On Friday we were looking at Acts 13, and finding two very different responses to the gospel, as proclaimed by Paul and Barnabas. To say that the Gentiles received the Good News and the Jews didn't is an oversimplification. Today we'll jump back into Luke's account of politics, paganism and portents. Here's Pastor Jim to conclude his talk entitled, Serving in the Zone.

This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 2 Samuel 1–6, where we see the beginning of David's reign and God's faithfulness in establishing him as king over Israel. Through seasons of grief, victory, and worship, David learns that leadership is ultimately about honoring the Lord and following His ways. We also see the ark of God brought to Jerusalem, reminding us that God's presence is central to the life of His people. These chapters challenge us to seek God first, worship Him with sincerity, and trust His guidance in every season.Text: 2 Samuel 1–6Recorded: June 28, 2026

In this closing message from Ephesians 6:18–24, Pastor Jim concludes the Masterpiece series by focusing on prayerful dependence on God. He explains that the new family of God is sustained through Spirit-led prayer, persistent alertness, and love rooted in Christ. As Paul closes his letter, he reminds believers that the church stands firm not by willpower, but through prayer, proclamation, and the Spirit's power.

What comes to mind when you hear the word "Father"? For some, that word carries warmth and safety while for others, it carries wounds and questions. In this tender and powerful message, Pastor Jim unpacks two Father facets that have the potential to reshape the way you see God forever. Drawing from Matthew 6:9 and the heart of the Lord's Prayer, you'll discover that your heavenly Father is not merely a reflection of your earthly one . . . He is a "how much more" Father who expresses His nature through love, and His nurture through compassion, correction, and care. No matter what your experience with a father has been, this message will leave you with the life-changing assurance that if you're a long way off, He'll take the first step . . . and come running toward you.

When we come to Acts 13, there's a shift in the story. Really, it's hard to keep our footing in the book of Acts, so much is happening - including things that have never happened before! But when the gospel made it to Antioch it established a beachhead, and launched out. Here was a church made up of both Jews and Gentiles; a fellowship that prayed; that heard from God; a church that cared. Today we'll hear the first half of Pastor Jim's sermon, Serving in the Zone. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am.

Just because a decision is good doesn't mean God has planned it for you—tune into the Holy Spirit to hear what He says.

What does it actually look like to pursue people the way God does? In the final installment of People Skills, Pastor Jim wraps up his 17 Righteous Realms of Relationships with some of the most practical and powerful principles in the entire series. From finding common ground with anyone you meet, to the one-minute rule of attention, affirmation, and appreciation, to the nearly forgotten art of writing a handwritten note of encouragement — these are the kind of simple, intentional habits that can transform the way you connect with the people around you. People are the only thing going to heaven, and this message is a warm and unforgettable reminder that learning to love them well is one of the most important things you'll ever do.

This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Samuel 28, where Saul, desperate for guidance, turns to a medium instead of seeking the Lord. After a lifetime of rejecting God's direction, Saul experiences the tragic consequences of relying on his own way rather than trusting God's. This sobering passage reminds us that God alone is our source of wisdom, hope, and guidance, and that turning away from Him only leads to emptiness.Text: 1 Samuel 28, 31 Recorded: June 21, 2026

In this message from Ephesians 6:14–17, Pastor Jim concludes the Armor of God section by focusing on the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. He explains that God's Word, through the Holy Spirit, orients us to reality, especially when life feels cloudy, confusing, or spiritually chaotic. The Spirit uses the written Word to point us to the living Word, Jesus, helping us resist deception, know truth, and walk in obedience. Ultimately, the goal is not simply to quote more Scripture, but to know Christ so deeply that the enemy's lies become unbelievable.

You might have a dream city you want to visit, but the most important destination you need to secure is the new Jerusalem.

Pastor Jim West presents the biblical narrative of Abraham and Isaac found in Genesis 22. He frames this historical account as a "final exam" of faith, occurring after Abraham had walked with God for forty years. By examining the geographical and cultural context, he highlights how the story foreshadows the future sacrifice of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. He emphasizes that true faith is demonstrated through a surrendered life and outward obedience rather than mere feelings or doctrine. Ultimately, he encourages believers to trust in divine provision during their own modern trials and hardship. Support the showThanks for listening!

There are those who see ambition as only a virtue and others who see it as pure vice. Is it good to be ambitious, or is it a dangerous self-obsession? Perhaps most importantly, how should faith impact ambition? In our conversation today, Pastor Jim explores the real meaning of ambition and how Christians should think about hard work, goals, and the work it takes to do great things. We hope the conversation helps you pursue all that God has for your life with clarity and better wisdom.

5/31/2026 - The Book of Acts Pt 43: The Message that Turned the World Upside Down - Pastor Jim Baker by Zion Christian Fellowship

What's one way to measure the Holy Spirit's presence in our lives? Our joy.

What does it actually look like to love people well in a world that has forgotten how? In part two of People Skills, Pastor Jim continues unpacking the biblical blueprint for building relationships that are healthy, honest, and honoring to God. From learning to get whole before you can truly help others, to making the shift from selfishness to generosity, to knowing when unity requires taking a stand for truth . . . these principles are as practical as they are powerful. If you're ready to grow in the way you connect with the people around you, this message will show you how.

Ministry is harder than it looks. Marriages fall apart. Leaders walk away. Good people quit. So how do you make it to the end?In this message from 1 Timothy 4, Pastor Jim walks through five things the Apostle Paul gives to a young pastor named Timothy to help him finish well — and they apply to every Christian, not just pastors.The big idea: train hard for godliness. Not to earn God's love. From it.In this message: • Why godliness requires intentional training (not just good intentions) • How to live intergenerationally and why it matters • What it means to immerse yourself in Scripture for the long game • How to discover and operate in your spiritual gifts • Why your perseverance isn't just about youIf you've ever felt like quitting — your faith, your marriage, your ministry — this one's for you.

You can love the Lord with all your heart and still make a complete mess of your life from a lack of wisdom.
