BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.70| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA In this powerful episode of the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast, we yet explore the miracle recorded in John 6:13–14, where Jesus not only multiplies provision but models a profound spiritual principle: obedience through gathering. This Bible Study session challenges every disciple to reflect on the cost of obedience and the sacred rhythm of serving before receiving. Key Highlights & Insights: - Obedience as a Journey Through Suffering Obedience isn't convenient—it's costly. Like a tunnel carved through hardship, it leads to spiritual maturity and divine provision. Jesus shows us that obedience often precedes comfort, and gathering is one of its essential expressions. - The Discipline of Gathering Before the disciples could eat, they were instructed to gather the fragments. This wasn't just about stewardship—it was a spiritual act. Jesus, who came to serve, teaches that gathering is a posture of humility and readiness. - Filling Follows Gathering Without unity, there is no fullness. The episode draws parallels to Luke 24:13–35, where Jesus revealed Himself in the breaking of bread. Gathering is not just physical—it's spiritual alignment. Scattered hearts cannot be filled. - The Church: Gathering or Scattering? Referencing Matthew 18:20 and Acts 2:1–4, we're invited to examine our assemblies. Are we truly gathered in spirit, or merely present in body? The difference determines whether we experience divine filling or spiritual emptiness. - The Wind Before the Fire: The Holy Spirit's movement begins with wind—an unseen stirring that prepares the house for fire. This episode reflects on how the Spirit fills what is united, but leaves scattered places untouched. Here is the core message:- Gathering is more than a meeting—it's a spiritual alignment that invites the presence of God. When we obey the call to gather, we position ourselves for divine filling. But where gathering is neglected, confusion and carnality take root. Scripture References: John 6:13–14 • Luke 24:13–35 • Matthew 18:20 • Acts 2:1–4 Beloved, this episode is a call to every believer to examine the posture of their obedience and the unity of their fellowship. Tune in and be stirred to serve, to gather, and to receive the fullness that comes only when we are truly together.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday, we got to hear from Pastor David as he reminded us that raising people up in faith is more than helping them stay afloat at the surface. Using the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4, he showed how raising others up today means doing it with intentionality, accountability, patience, humility, and a willingness to go deeper ourselves. That's where the snorkel vs scuba picture comes in. Snorkeling gives you a glimpse, but scuba takes you down into the depths, and you can't do it alone. Just like scuba divers rely on a shared source of breath, we're meant to rely on God's Spirit and bring others alongside us as we go deeper with Him. Take some time this week to pray and ask God who He's calling you to raise up and walk deeper with in faith.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

Trace Church continues our series Practicing the Way with a powerful message on Service from Lead Pastor Aaron Pennington.In John 13, Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, showing us that true greatness comes from humility and serving others. This message explores why service is central to the life of every follower of Christ and how stepping into this calling allows us to reflect His love to a hurting world.Whether you are new to faith or looking to grow deeper, this teaching will challenge you to live out your faith in practical ways, embrace humility, and join God's mission to reach others.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || This Sunday we continued in Week 2 of our Made For More series, with Pastor Emmanuel sharing about what it means to Reach. God calls us to make disciples, but sometimes that feels overwhelming. He reminded us that it is not about tactics or strategies first, but about understanding why reaching matters. At the center of it all is God's immense love for us, and for the world. When we get His heart, we naturally begin to use the influence and tools He has already given us to share Jesus. This message will encourage you to see the value God places on every person, and to love people in a way that leads them closer to Him.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

In this episode of *The Slippery Slope*, J Fallon reflects on the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk and the profound impact his life—and death—have had on the world. Drawing from John 15, John 18, and 2 Timothy 4, this commentary explores why true Christians respond not with vengeance, but with faith, hope, and truth.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine the power of our imagination and internal pictures. The key lesson revolves around aligning our inner world with God's promises, rather than conforming to the world's expectations. We explore the story of Abraham and Isaac, highlighting how God provides (Jehovah Jireh) even in seemingly impossible situations. This narrative beautifully parallels our own lives, reminding us that God's provision often comes in unexpected ways. The message emphasizes the psychological aspect of faith - how our internal images shape our external reality. We're encouraged to paint vivid internal pictures of already possessing what we've asked for in prayer, echoing Mark 11:24. This approach isn't just positive thinking; it's about truly believing and receiving God's promises. As we apply this to our daily lives, we're challenged to renew our minds, settle internal conflicts, and surround ourselves with faith-filled people who can help expand our vision of what's possible with God.

In this message, Pastor Alex confronts the weight of current events and the spiritual battle facing our nation. From tragic loss and cultural confusion to the growing hostility toward biblical truth, we are reminded that the only answer is Jesus. This sermon calls the church to stand firm, love boldly, and remain anchored in the Word of God. It challenges believers to resist conformity, recognize the reality of spiritual warfare, and raise up the next generation to live with conviction. No matter the cost, we are called to choose Christ and declare with confidence: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”Scripture References: John 15:18 Isaiah 5:20 Matthew 6:23 Isaiah 40:8 1 Corinthians 2:14 John 17:14-15 Romans 12:2 Proverbs 22:6 Ephesians 6:4 2 Timothy 4:7-8 Joshua 24:15

"Money doesn't have a hold on you. God has a hold on you. And when you trust Him, provision will always be there."   In this episode of Holy Honey, Lauren and Sophie dive deep into the full-body shift from looking to money as your source of safety, and looking to God to provide for you instead. They go into the truth about provision, stewardship, and biblical wealth, and how to build Kingdom wealth in God's way.   From the “dry” seasons that strengthen our faith, to the responsibility that God places on us in seasons of wealth and legacy, Lauren and Sophie encourage us to lean into God at all times, as He truly provides everything we need (no matter what's happening in the economy).   You'll hear:

"Freedom Indeed" — John 8 | Pastor Bill Monroe | Florence Baptist TempleThis week as America celebrates Independence Day, we paused to remember a far greater freedom—the kind only Jesus Christ can give.From John 8, Jesus declares, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” That's not political. That's personal. That's eternal.Freedom from the penalty of sin. Freedom from the power of sin. And one day, praise God, freedom from the very presence of sin. You don't have to live in spiritual slavery another day. If you're bound by guilt, addiction, or the weight of sin—Jesus Christ offers real, lasting freedom.Come hear the full message of hope, forgiveness, and victory in Christ alone.Have you been set free? Do you know where you'll go after this life ends? Today is the day to make that decision.Scripture References:John 8:12–36Romans 6:18Galatians 5:12 Corinthians 3:17Isaiah 61:1

In this powerful sermon from Walking in Command, discover what it means to move beyond spiritual bootcamp into Advanced Individual Training (AIT) for the Kingdom of God. Pastor unpacks John 14:15 — “If you love Me, keep My commandments” — and shows how the love language of heaven is obedience. Using vivid military parallels, this message explores the Kingdom Code of Conduct, the Beatitudes, guarding your heart, forgiveness, purity, marriage, and keeping your word. Learn why your MOS (Ministry Occupational Specialty) matters, how to live as salt and light, and how to walk in command no matter your calling. Whether it's confronting anger, cutting off lust, protecting your relationships, or choosing God's way over your own, this teaching will equip you for transformation, not just behavior modification. Scripture References: John 14:15, Matthew 5, Matthew 11:28-30, 1 John 5:3, Proverbs 4:23, Exodus 20, 1 Corinthians 7

It’s easy to lean on Jesus when life is hard, but what about when things get easier? Here’s why keeping your eyes fixed on Christ in every season matters more than you might think. Keri Eichberger’s daily prayer and devotional remind us that both hardship and ease offer moments to grow closer to Jesus. While trials often deepen our dependence on Him, seasons of calm can tempt us to rely on ourselves. This devotional challenges us to guard our spiritual gaze—keeping it fixed on Christ, the true source of light, joy, and fulfillment. Today's Prayer Leans on This Bible Verse:

On occasion we address Covenant Church family questions during the Sunday morning message. We want to engage our folks where they are, and these questions help our pastors be more effective, by understanding where they struggle.There are many decisions Covenant makes, positions we take et al that do not make the difference between heaven and hell, and on which other churches sometimes take a different approach. Because our church is multi-denominational, we have many rich faith traditions represented among our people. In this last message of this series, Joel talks about the Holy Spirit and how it's good to have questions about Him. We'll look at: what does the Holy Spirit do, how do we receive Him, and what are the results of His work? Join in as we listen to answers on difficult questions about our faith, and our church.LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Download the free study guide & show notes by visiting and clicking on the button "Download Study Guide"⁠• Find a complete transcript here• Scripture References: John 16, verses 4-15; Galatians 5, verses 16-25; 1 Corinthians 12, verse 1 & 13; Acts 19, verses 2-3; Titus 3, verses 5-6; 2 Corinthians 5, verse 17; Jeremiah 31, verse 33; Romans 6, verse 3-5; Romans 8, verse 9; Ephesians 5 , verse 18; John 14, verse 12 & 16-17• Find out more about Covenant Church at ⁠covenantexperience.com

Pastor Andy teaches that faith is more than belief—it's the deeply personal knowledge of God that brings victory and spreads His presence like a fragrance wherever we go. Victory in Christ isn't just for our benefit; it becomes an aroma of God's reality to others, sometimes convicting, sometimes life-giving, but always revealing Him. Knowing God better involves not only prayer and fellowship but reevaluating how we were first introduced to Him and fully committing every area of our lives to Him.

Reflect to ReformIn this powerful episode, we dive into the theme Reflect to Reform, rooted in personal testimony from Impact's 3rd Annual retreat where lives were changed through genuine encounters with Jesus, not emotional hype, but Spirit-led transformation. We explore the call to humble ourselves (1 Peter 5:6), the urgency of the times (2 Timothy 3:1-7), and the sufficiency of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17) as the foundation for reformation. Through the lens of John 1:1, John 14:6, and John 4, we are reminded that Jesus is the Word, the Truth, and the only One who truly satisfies.It's time we stop labeling Spirit-filled gatherings as “emotional experiences” and start celebrating spaces where people are earnestly seeking Jesus.Scripture References:    •    John 1:1    •    John 14:6    •    1 Peter 5:6    •    2 Timothy 3:1–7, 16–17    •    John 4

Scripture References: John 4, 8; Mark 1, 5; Luke 8, 10, 13; Matt 26, 28; John 20; Esther 4:16; Ruth 1:16-17; 1 Kings 17:8-16; 1 Sam 1:27-28; John 11:28-35; Judges 4:14, Judges 5; Prov 31.Sermon: Honoring Mothers & Godly WomenIntro: Happy Mother's Day! We celebrate moms and spiritual mothers, acknowledging the joy and the aches holidays can bring (loss, struggle, longing). Jesus meets each of you in your unique story. He knows what you need. Jesus deeply loved His own mother and all women, treating them with radical dignity, respect, and compassion—truly countercultural for His time.Key Points:Jesus' Radical View of Women:Spoke respectfully to them (Samaritan woman, John 4; woman caught in adultery, John 8).Healed them publicly (Peter's mother-in-law, Mark 1; woman with issue of blood, Mark 5; bent-over woman, Luke 13).Affirmed their faith & worth. Many women followed & financially supported His ministry (Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna - Luke 8). Mary of Bethany learned at His feet (Luke 10).Entrusted women as first witnesses of His resurrection (Matt 28, John 20).These women, freed from shame, became deeply devoted, bold partners in His mission.Celebrating Women in Our Church Family – Echoes of Biblical Strength:Mary of Bethany (Matt 26): Extravagant worshippers, pouring out your most valuable for Jesus. Like her, Radiant women, you've done beautiful things for Him.Miriam (Exodus 15): Leading in worship, singing songs of deliverance, reminding us God brings us to dry land.Esther (Esther 4:16): Courageous, sticking your necks out for others' freedom and safety, saying "If I perish, I perish."Ruth (Ruth 1:16-17): Faithful, loyal, obedient, choosing right relationship over comfort, loving for the long haul: "Where you go, I will go."Widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17): Hospitality in scarcity, giving generously from little, trusting God's miraculous provision.Lydia (Acts 16): Businesswomen and those with abundance, leveraging success and resources for God's Kingdom.Hannah (1 Sam 1:27-28): Prayer warriors, contending earnestly, prevailing on God, and lending your answered prayers back to Him.Mary at Lazarus' Tomb (John 11:28-35): Raw faith in grief, falling at Jesus' feet, finding Him as the God who weeps with us & brings comfort.Deborah (Judges 4-5): Strong leaders with prophetic wisdom, inspiring victory ("Up! For this is the day..."), and partnering beautifully, calling men and women higher in God.Conclusion: Radiant women, for 20 years (and all women of faith), you've chosen the better thing. You've poured out love in extravagant worship, not counting the cost. You've taken courageous steps, chosen faithfulness, given generously, contended in prayer, wept honest tears at Jesus' feet while believing Him even in the dark, and led with wisdom. Because of this, we've seen Him. Thank you for being lovers of God and spiritual mothers. Proverbs 31: not competition, but a celebration of a woman's lifelong fruit. God counts & celebrates all you do.Call to Action: Let's continue this journey of faith: loving God and living for Him. Men, actively honor and celebrate the women in your lives. Women, keep arising, using your God-given gifts to call us higher. Let's embrace the future, partnering for the Gospel. God is worthy of it all!

This powerful Easter Sunday message from Pastor John takes us deep into the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prepared His heart for the cross—and where loyalty and betrayal collided. In a world that often values convenience over commitment, loyalty is a rare but essential virtue. Through the story of Judas's betrayal, Peter's denial, and ultimately, Jesus's unwavering faithfulness, Pastor John challenges us to reflect on our own loyalty—especially to God, to truth, and to the people and responsibilities He has entrusted to us. We're reminded that God keeps a record—not out of bitterness or control, but out of a divine commitment to justice. And yet, through the blood of Jesus, we are offered complete forgiveness and restoration. God's justice isn't about condemnation; it's about setting things right through love and sacrifice. ✨ Are you in a moment of trial or temptation? ✨ Have you failed, denied, or walked away? ✨ This message is for you. Join us as we explore: The weight of loyalty in the eyes of God How betrayal impacts relationships The redemptive power of the Resurrection Why Jesus's question to Peter—"Do you love me?"—is still being asked today

Episode Summary: When alcohol addiction enters a family, it can bring heartache, uncertainty, and difficult choices. Sonja Meyrer shares her deeply personal journey of navigating her husband’s battle with alcohol addiction and his tragic loss. Through grief and unanswered questions, she discovered God’s presence in the midst of pain. Now, she helps others find healing, set healthy boundaries, and move forward with faith. If you're struggling with the effects of addiction in your family, this conversation offers encouragement and practical wisdom. Quotables from the episode: The word redemption really resonates because I believe that as Christ followers, nothing is wasted. Jesus had to have his scars in his resurrected body to prove that he was who he said he was and that he had done what he said he would do. So his scars are beautiful, and so are ours. Frequently our greatest areas of ministry come out of our greatest pain and woundedness. About twenty years into our marriage, the disease of alcohol addiction showed up. It wasn’t something I was familiar with—it was not present in my family growing up. Anyone who has suffered the effects of addiction can tell you that there is a day when “something is different.” On that day when something changed, I realized I was really in over my head. Especially as a spouse, who was raising children, I had to ask how do I fit into this. We say “in sickness and in health,” and that is true, but how do I protect myself and my kids? I didn’t start my career thinking, “I’d love to be an addiction specialist!” I don’t think anyone starts off that way. But it is my greatest honor and joy to sit with other people as a coach to find their own God-given hope and peace regardless of the choices of other people. Now I get to share out of my own experience how I navigated that time. When we will change the verbiage from “I have to” to “I get to,” first, that puts more control back into our hands in otherwise powerless situations, and, it gives us a more hope-filled perspective. So often, the ministries that many of us have are not ministries we would have asked for or signed up for but that is the goodness of God to bring you to the place where you can say “it’s my honor and privilege to walk with others.” The difference between those who stay angry and disgruntled versus those who say, “okay God, what do you have for me?” is operating from a place of surrender. Along the way, I had to learn to let go. I learned to say, “Even if, God, this all falls apart, you are still good, and I will still find my way forward.” I no longer hold onto what I think the future should look like. Instead, I say, “wherever you lead me is a good place to go.” In the letting go, it gives God the freedom to work his will, his way, and his timing. Unfortunately, my spouse fell into a deep depression and after a few years made the regretful decision to end his life. As a Christian spouse, I had to navigate the questions, “God why didn’t you heal him?” and at the same time, wondering, did I do everything well? Did I do it all right? The process of trying to learn how to honor the dignity of his suffering and yet still finding joy and happiness in my own life, was a process that takes some time. But I do believe that God can give us true joy from knowing He’s on our side if we’re willing to let go of our expectations of what we think life is supposed to be like. Some of us fall under faulty theology and think that if we’re doing the right things, we won’t experience suffering but that isn’t at all what Jesus told us. He said “in this world, you will experience trouble/suffering/pain, BUT take heart, I have overcome the world.” He also said, “If you’re going to follow me, you are going to suffer.” When I can get to the place that I can say, “This is for you to handle, God” it goes so much better. We say in the recovery community that “expectation is the root of all suffering.” Where we can live a life where are hands are truly open and we can say to God, “This is what I want…however, make me an instrument” and not be disgruntled and not get discouraged, it goes so much better. I’m grateful for Jesus’s example. In the garden before His death, Jesus cried out to God, “I don’t want to do this…if there is any other way please show me” but then he came back to the point of submission and surrender where he said “but I want your will more than I want mine.” The struggle of watching someone not be able to conquer the disease that they have is very sad. Jesus did a really good job of setting boundaries both when he said “yes,” and when he said “no.” This tragedy created an enormous bond between me and my children. They want to stay connected. They care for each other in a way that they hadn’t before. Another blessing that came out of this was my willingness to ask for help, my willingness to show my vulnerability, and it has allowed those around us the opportunity to love on us and love our family. So, it has helped me to not be so proud. You are not alone. There is hope. We don’t have to do this alone. Being around like-minded people who are also on the same path can lend so much relief.
