Podcasts about prepare the way

In this compelling sermon, Pastor Karl dives into Matthew Chapters 3 and part of 4, introducing John the Baptist and the launch of Jesus' public ministry. He explores the radical call to repentance as forward-facing surrender, the humble wilderness ministry of John—clothed in camel hair and heralding the coming Messiah—and the dramatic baptism where heaven breaks open with the Trinity on full display. Pastor Karl then examines Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, revealing how Satan attacks God's provision, protection, and promises, and how Jesus defeats every lie with Scripture alone. He emphasizes that repentance is not a one-time event but a lifestyle that prepares the way for the kingdom, that true faith bears fruit, and that heaven meets obedience with strength. Join us for a powerful message that calls every believer to repent, resist the devil, and trust God's Word in every trial. Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

September 7, 2025  There are some words that change your life forever: "I love you." "We're pregnant!" "You got the job!" For the people of God, they finished the walls of Jerusalem but now they hear God's Word for the first time in a generation. Listen in as Newbreak Church Tierrasanta Campus Pastor Markus Witherspoon encourages us to build our lives on God's word. About this Sermon Series In this anniversary sermon series of our Prepare the Way discipleship and generosity initiative, we step into the story of Nehemiah and discover how God calls His people into His great work of restoration.

Trace Church celebrated 9 years in Colorado Springs with an unforgettable Fall Kickoff service. Pastor Aaron preached a powerful message out of Luke 15, reminding us that the grace of God is always greater than our sin.In the story of the prodigal son, we see a young man run as far as he could from his father. He wasted everything, gave himself over to sin, and carried deep shame. Yet when he turned back home, the father ran to him, embraced him, and restored him as a son. This picture is a glimpse into the heart of God for us.Many of us carry strongholds, shame, and mistakes that feel too heavy to let go of. We believe the lie that we have gone too far or done too much for God to forgive. But this message reminds us of the truth: you cannot out-sin the grace of God. His mercy is new every morning, His arms are always open, and His love pursues us no matter how far we wander.Through Scripture in Luke 15, Romans 8, Ephesians 5, and James 5, we are challenged to step out of the shadows, break free from lies, and walk in the freedom that only Jesus provides. The call is clear: return to God, confess, repent, and receive the grace that has already been purchased for you at the cross.This was more than just an anniversary service. It was a moment of celebration, surrender, and breakthrough. God is moving at Trace Church, and He is calling each of us to turn around and come home.

Listen in as Pastor Jared Johnson gives us insight and a plan of how to counteract the resistance as we work toward God's plan of restoration and revival! About this Sermon Series In this anniversary sermon series of our Prepare the Way discipleship and generosity initiative, we step into the story of Nehemiah and discover how God calls His people into His great work of restoration.

In this message, Andrew draws from Exodus and the Gospel of John to emphasize God's desire to dwell among His people and the call to prepare for His presence. He explains that just as Israel was instructed to build the tabernacle so God could dwell with them, followers of Jesus are called to become living tabernacles through prayer, repentance, and devotion. Using John the Baptist as an example, he highlights the need for credible, Spirit-filled witnesses who call people to return to God and prepare for renewal. The message stresses that while revival is ultimately a sovereign move of God, His people play a vital role by cultivating prayerful dependence, consecrated lives, and readiness to receive His Spirit. The challenge is to move from complacency and polite prayers to wholehearted devotion, trusting that God's presence brings transformation to hearts, homes, communities, and society.

What does it look like to pause, reflect, and create space for God to move? On this Response Sunday at Trace Church in Colorado Springs, Pastor Aaron Pennington leads a powerful time of worship, prayer, confession, and anointing.Instead of a traditional sermon, this service focused on breaking spiritual strongholds, finding freedom through repentance, and experiencing renewal in Christ.

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO to this reflectionOur Gospel is LUKE 12: 35-40Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning,  like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

What would happen if you stopped coasting through your faith and truly set your sails for the movement of God?

The Lord loves to move towards people to leave them forever changed. We're invited to prepare the way for him to meet us and others.

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, 3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,' ” 4 John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” The Baptism of Jesus9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” The Temptation of Jesus12 The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him. Jesus Begins His Ministry14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Jesus Calls the First Disciples16 Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him. Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Spirit21 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 28 And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee. Jesus Heals Many29 And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them. 32 That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. 33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. Jesus Preaches in Galilee35 And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. 36 And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, 37 and they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38 And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” 39 And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons. Jesus Cleanses a Leper40 And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” 41 Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” 42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. 43 And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” 45 But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter. The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Mk 1:1–45.
