Podcasts about pastor jim

In the second installment of the Rocky series, Pastor Jim takes you into Matthew 4 to watch how Jesus, our hero and our example, defeated every temptation the enemy threw at Him with three simple words: "It is written." You'll discover why the devil always attacks your identity first, how he targets you at the exact point of your weakness, and why he even quotes Scripture out of context to try to push a God-given strength one step too far into excess. From there, Pastor Jim unpacks three "speak it specialties" that will change how you pray: the Word was spoken so it could be written, and it's written now so it can be spoken by you. Learn why God's Word is God's will, how to pray with the cheerful confidence of 1 John 5, and why praying the Bible means starting with the answer instead of the problem — praying for real results, not just comfort. If you want to put your angels to work, outlast the enemy's persistence, and build a life that stands in the storm, this message will put the strongest weapon you have right back in your mouth.

This isn't the first time we've discussed AI on the podcast, but things are changing fast. Nearly everyone, pastors included, has seen the advice and marketing about how AI will transform their work. But while the tools keep getting better and faster, how we should use AI in pastoring and preaching remains an open question with complicated ethical considerations. In today's episode, Pastor Jim and I explore how we're actually using AI, and where it can help and where it can hurt.

Even if we don't have a strong singing voice, God delights when we sing to Him with gratitude in our hearts.

Struggling to break old sin patterns? We can't force this transformation on our own—God has to do it.

The storms of life come to every house. The question isn't whether they'll come, but what your house is built on when they do. Opening a brand-new four-part series on building your life on the Word of the living God, Pastor Jim digs into Matthew 7 and Jesus' comparison between the wise man and the foolish man, revealing that it's not what you build that matters most, it's where you build it. You'll walk through a side-by-side look at "Sandy" and "Rocky" . . . the hearer versus the doer, the convenient versus the inconvenient, the life ruled by feelings, culture, and influencers versus the life anchored to Scripture that never changes. Along the way you'll discover why God is never your problem but always your answer, why "what from here?" is a far better question than "why, God, why?", and how closing the gap between knowing and doing automatically closes the gap between wanting and having. If your life feels like it's built on sinking sand and you want to be ready before the next storm rolls in, this message will show you how to stand.

August 9, 2026 Lead Pastor Jim Baney by Basic Truth Church, Cygnet, Oh

Learning to Go From Good Intentions to Living a Great Life Intentionally Every great story has a hero, and yours is no accident. In part one of The Greatest Story Ever Told, Pastor Jim opens up about his own story with raw honesty and genuine hope, reminding us that no matter what the earlier chapters looked like, the pages ahead are still blank. Rooted in Romans 12:2 and the transforming power of renewing your mind to the Word of God, this message is a compelling and personal invitation to stop living a life of good intentions and start living a great life intentionally. Your story isn't over. In fact, the best chapters may be just getting started.

This week, we celebrated Game Day Sunday, where we had the opportunity to welcome local high school sports teams to join us for worship. Pastor Jim walked us through Psalm 60:1–12, reminding us that even when we face difficult seasons, our hope and victory come from God. We were reminded that true strength isn't found in ourselves, but in trusting the Lord.Text: Psalm 60:1–12Recorded: August 9, 2026

The Pastor and Andy talked about the Farm Heritage Festival coming up at East Jordan United Methodist Church

Pastor Jim explores Genesis 24 by drawing deep thematic parallels between the story of Isaac seeking a bride and the Christian gospel. He presents Abraham as a figure representing God the Father, who commissions his trusted servant to secure a wife for his son, Isaac, a character seen as a prophetic foreshadowing of Jesus Christ. Central to the message is the character of the servant, identified as Elazar, who serves as a model for modern believers in his humility, devotion to his master, and dedication to his mission. The speaker emphasizes that salvation is an act of divine initiative where God seeks out individuals, much like the servant sought Rebecca. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their identity as commissioned servants of God, prioritizing his glory over self-promotion. Ultimately, he presents the biblical narrative as a divine love story that requires a decisive, immediate response to the invitation of Christ.Support the showThanks for listening!

In this week's Bible Study, Pastor Jim will dig deep into Christ's call for us to love those who mistreat us.

We can't let pride intervene and refuse to praise God during adversity. Instead, we should glorify Him.

Israel, just mentioning the name, sparks intense emotions and reactions. Why is that? Pastor Jim Scudder joins Josh Davis on today's Watchman on the Wall episode to explore the spiritual forces propelling anti-Israel rhetoric. Encouraging Christians to lay down their internet videos and pick up their Bibles, Pastor Jim unfolds God's purpose and plan for Israel.

8/2/2026, New Members Sunday: Who Are We?, Pastor Jim Fleming by Northern Heights

We can fake it at church on Sunday, but God sees our hearts. Only a genuine hunger for righteousness and a desire to be like Jesus will keep us from falling.

This week, Pastor Jim lead us in Communion as we reflected on Psalm 75:1–10. The psalm reminds us that God is the righteous Judge who is worthy of our thanks, whose timing is perfect, and whose justice never fails. As we shared in Communion, we remembered the sacrifice of Christ, whose death and resurrection made a way for us to be forgiven and reconciled to God. We were encouraged to approach the table with grateful hearts, trusting in the One who is both just and merciful.Text: Psalm 75:1–10 Recorded: August 2, 2026

Pastor Jim West explores the historical narrative of Genesis 24 to illustrate the themes of divine guidance and faithful service. He focuses on the journey of Abraham's servant, Eleazar, who is commissioned to find a wife for Isaac from his master's ancestral homeland. Pastor West highlights the power of prayer and the use of signs as legitimate tools for those walking in faith, as demonstrated when the servant encounters Rebecca at a well. He emphasizes Rebecca's courageous decision to leave her family for an unknown future, framing her "I will go" as a mirror to Abraham's own original call from God. Ultimately, he encourages his congregation to adopt a servant-hearted identity and remain obedient to God's specific callings in their own lives. Support the showThanks for listening!

This is a podcast from our Sunday morning service at Abundant Life Family Church in Dodge City, Kansas. Join us to listen to Dr. Jim Ames, Pastor and founder of Abundant Life Family Church.

In this series, Pastor Jim will guide us through several of the hard, difficult, challenging teachings of Jesus. While Christ is often thought of as kind, gentle, and compassionate; he also challenged people to rise to a new standard of living. In this series, we'll explore that challenging standard.

How often do we default to our own strength, plans, and wisdom? God has given us the Holy Spirit—but how many of us are truly filled with Him?

While the scriptures often direct our attention to how we spend money and our motivations for generosity, the topic can be uncomfortable for some people. In today's episode, Pastor Jim describes why generosity matters and how church leaders can cultivate generosity in honest and transparent ways. It's a helpful conversation for those responsible for teaching and for all who seek to live a more generous life. 

Every victory, blessing, and testimony belongs not to us but to God.

12 areas of assessment to make sure your life is on course. How does your life look when you hold it up to the light? In part two of Checkup, Pastor Jim completes his twelve-area assessment, a practical, biblical, and refreshingly honest self-examination designed to help you make sure your life is truly on course with God. From marriage and finances, to your thought life, your witness, and everything in between, this message will pinpoint the areas where you're thriving and gently challenge the ones that need attention. There's no condemnation here, just clarity, encouragement, and the tools to help you get back on track and keep moving forward with purpose.

This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 2 Samuel 10–12, where we see both the heights of David's reign and one of his greatest failures. After David's sin with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah, the prophet Nathan confronts him, leading David to genuine repentance. These chapters remind us that sin has real consequences, but they also reveal the depth of God's mercy toward those who humbly turn back to Him. No matter how far we fall, God's grace is greater, and He is faithful to restore those who repent.Text: 2 Samuel 10–12 Recorded: July 26, 2026

In this message from Psalm 121, Pastor Jim explores what it means to find hope, help, and home in God while traveling through the difficulties of life. Written for God's covenant people on a journey, the psalm does not promise a life without suffering, but assures believers that God faithfully watches over, guides, and sustains His people through every hardship. Biblical hope honestly acknowledges pain and uncertainty while still trusting God's character and promises. Through Jesus, believers are welcomed into God's family and given an ever-present helper who will keep them secure throughout the journey and lead them safely home.
