Hi Everyone! I'm so glad to be back on the Pod after a few weeks. I am so grateful the Lord decided to use me to speak this week on family and siblings in Christ. The Lord has led me recently to reflect on family and how we treat one another. During specific times of year holidays, birthdays , and family functions we get defensive and believe we have to be on defense ; when in reality we need to not look at what they are doing to us, but we are currently dealing with internally. God has convicted me on how I speak to family, love them, and even intercede for them. How I am treating my siblings in Christ and if I am calling them higher or casting a stone? This week is so important to reflect before we really go into 2026 how we need to love the ones around us better but also intercede for those who may being going through spiritual warfare before they even come face to face with us. Grab your Bible, some coffee, and blanket and let's dive into the word!

Pastor David de la Cruz will speak about fasting!Jesus taught us that there is a time to fast, a way to fast, and a reward to fasting.====================

On Christmas Eve, we were reminded that God always keeps His promises—if He said it, He will do it. In a world full of temporary fixes and unmet longings, we looked again to the truth that only Jesus can truly satisfy the soul. Scriptures: Matthew 2:4-6, John 6:35

In a season where joy and hustle collide, could grace be the gathering place your heart is longing for?This message from Tes Jahnig, Gathering Around Grace, is an invitation to come closer—not to a perfect plan or table, but to the person of Jesus.Grace gathers, it goes beyond borders, it gives, and it transforms. Whether you're feeling on the outside, empty-handed, or simply exhausted from trying to hold it all together—this Word is for you. Come together. Come closer. Come home.Scriptures: Matthew 2:1–12; Isaiah 60:3; Revelation 7:9–10; Luke 6:38; Ephesians 2:8–9; Matthew 11:28–30Connect with us:Website: http://lincchurch.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/lincchurchFacebook: https://facebook.com/lincchurchPodcast: https://apple.co/2Jx8wG0#LINCchurch #LINC To support this ministry financially and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://lincchurch.com/giving

If you feel stretched too thin, it's not because you're weak—it's because you're carrying weight God never told you to carry alone. In this message, we unpack why overworking isn't faithfulness, why burnout is often a warning, and how God's strategy for rest includes delegation, clarity, and shared responsibility. Using Matthew 11 and Exodus 18, this sermon exposes a hard truth: Overworking can be disobedience disguised as responsibility. If you're overwhelmed, exhausted, or trying to do everything by yourself—this is your reset. Key themes in this message: Why rest is a real strategy, not laziness “Make your load lighter” (God's leadership principle) Delegation without guilt Why capable people matter How clarity eliminates confusion

Pastor Jordan Boyce speaks about bearing gifts!Wisdom leads to worship, and worship brings offerings.====================

What if your next season wasn't defined by what you make of your life, but by what Jesus makes of you? What could happen if you left the safety of your boat and stepped into boldness, simply because He said, “Follow me”?This message explores the transformational journey of Peter—from the nets of Galilee to the shepherding of God's people—and what it means for us today to live lives of deep purpose, divine partnership, and Kingdom impact. Whether you're longing for clarity in your calling or craving a fresh encounter with Jesus, this message reminds us that purpose starts not with striving, but with surrender. It's not about doing more for God; it's about following the One who forms us, fills us, and frees us into who we were always meant to be.Scriptures: Matthew 4:18–20; Psalm 23; Matthew 11:28–30; Ephesians 2:8–10; Romans 12:1–2; John 21:15–17; 1 Peter 1:6–7; 1 Peter 2:9; 2 Peter 1:10; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 28:18–20Connect with us:Website: http://lincchurch.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/lincchurchFacebook: https://facebook.com/lincchurchPodcast: https://apple.co/2Jx8wG0#LINCchurch #LINC To support this ministry financially and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://lincchurch.com/giving

Scriptures:Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.Romans 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost., King James Version

Guest Minister:  Lola Salvador   Daily Study: Lola draws on her upcoming Christian fiction novel, exploring the real and often painful journey of forgiveness within marriage. Through the story of a celebrated athlete whose private heartbreak becomes painfully public, we're invited to confront the deeper question every couple must face: How do you forgive when trust has been broken? Grounded in Scripture and word study, this message reveals the biblical depth of forgiveness—not just as letting go of offense, but as extending grace that mirrors God's own mercy. It's a redemptive reflection on love, healing, and the transforming presence of Jesus, who meets us in our brokenness and makes restoration possible. Scriptures: Matthew 6:14-15 (ESV) - Establishes forgiveness as a divine command tied to spiritual freedom. Colossians 3:13 (NIV) - Defines forgiveness as imitation of God's mercy, not emotion. Hosea 3:1 (NIV) - A vivid image of covenant love that endures betrayal Psalm 34:18 (NLT) - Brings tenderness and comfort   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com                    

Baptisms are not just a symbol or ritual but a sacred moment and the entry point into the Life of Christ.====================

As human beings, we struggle to even comprehend the meaning of the word “eternal.” To begin, we need to make some distinctions. First, we need to distinguish God's eternity from our eternity, or timeless eternity from everlasting eternity. His life is so full that he doesn't experience it in a succession of moments like we do. Our eternity is better thought of as everlastingness. Everlasting means that we will last forever. We never get outside of time; we live within time forever.But, more than that, we will exist either in a state of everlasting joy and life, or in a state of everlasting destruction and death. The Scriptures (Matthew 25, Revelation 20) teach that at the end of history, Christ will return, raise the dead, and execute a final judgment. At that time, the righteous—body and soul—will enter into the Joy of God forever, and the wicked—body and soul—will enter into Misery forever. The common names for these two eternal destinies are Heaven and Hell.I want to focus on two issues. One is a fear we have about Heaven and one is a concern we have about Hell. Our fear about Heaven is this: we worry that we will be bored. We know that we are promised unending joy, but we struggle to believe it because we fear that having “arrived” at Joy, Joy will grow old and stale to us. Our desires always outrun their satisfaction. Desire dies in its fulfillment. We get what we want, and we find that it's not enough. And our repeated experience of this phenomenon, in every aspect of our lives, creates the fear in us that Heaven will be no different.

Are you tired of trying to prove yourself, fix everything, and hold it all together? God never called you to strive — He called you to rest. In this episode, Jeanith shares how to shift from a life of striving to one of peace and trust in Jesus. You'll learn how to stop performing for God's approval and start living from His presence. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between striving and godly diligence Why rest is not laziness—it's trust The spiritual consequences of striving (and how to break free) 5 practical ways to live from a place of rest each day Scriptures: Matthew 11:28–29, Isaiah 30:15, Psalm 46:10 Resources:

We're told that more will finally make us happy—more money, more stuff, more success. But what if “more” is just a mirage that keeps moving further away the closer we chase it?In this message, Pastor Peter unpacks what Jesus says about contentment, money, and peace. You'll learn how to break free from the endless cycle of comparison and start building a life that actually satisfies.Discover how to:Find joy when “enough” never feels like enoughTrust God with your plans and possessionsShift your heart from getting more to becoming moreLive with peace, generosity, and purposeThis week isn't about guilt—it's about freedom. God isn't against you having things; He's against things having you.

Like the ancient texts in The Mummy, God's “backwards” truths become the key to real victory and transformation. 1. The Bible is not Boring — It's a Living Adventure The Bible is alive and powerful: “For the word of God is living and active…” (Hebrews 4:12). Features real stories of adventure and faith, such as David vs. Goliath, Paul's shipwreck, and the Resurrection. These are eyewitness accounts, not legends (2 Peter 1:16). 2. The Bible is not Bigoted — It's Radically Inclusive God's love is extended to every nation and people group. Women are empowered: Deborah, Mary Magdalene, Priscilla. Outsiders are welcomed: The Ethiopian eunuch receives the gospel (Acts 8). Scriptures: Galatians 3:28, John 3:16, Revelation 7:9 highlight inclusivity. 3. The Bible is not Backwards — But it is Backwards to the World God's wisdom often challenges worldly values. True success means honoring God above all else, as modeled by Jesus. “Backwards” actions: forgiving enemies, generosity, sacrificial living. Scriptures: Matthew 6:33, 1 Corinthians 1:18 demonstrate the power and purpose in “backwards” living. Psalm 1:1–3: Those who delight in God's law are deeply rooted and blessed. The post Who Told You That? The Bible is Boring, Bigoted, & Backwards first appeared on Living Hope.

September 14th, 2025 David Comstock & Freddy Williams What if mission isn't something you do—but who you are?As part of our Good News series, Pastor David unpacks how Jesus calls us “the light of the world” and sends us into everyday spaces to bring the goodness of heaven to earth. Mission isn't reserved for a select few—it's the identity of every follower of Jesus.Discover what it means to live as a chosen people, a royal priesthood, sent to embody the love of Christ in a world desperate for hope.

After hearing of John the Baptist's death, Jesus withdrew by boat to be alone with the Father—but when the crowds followed, He stepped back into ministry with compassion. In the same way, when the world feels heavy and the week has been intense, God invites us to first draw near to Him, to be strengthened in His presence. From that place of renewal we can love in truth and stand firm against the enemy, ready to serve the people right in front of us. Scriptures: Matthew 14: 8-14 2 Peter 3:9, 1 Peter 5:9, Ephesians 6: 12-13, 18-20, Matthew 14:14

Last week we uncovered the original narcissist—the father of lies, the enemy of our souls. He manipulates, gaslights, and deceives, but Jesus shows us a better way. In this message, Pastor John shares how to re-route your thinking when fear and selfishness threaten to take control. Discover how conflict often comes from our fear of not getting what we want or losing what we have, and how Jesus calls us to trust the Good Father instead of clinging to possessions, pride, or control. Through the story of Naboth's vineyard, the teachings of Jesus, and the promises of Romans 8, we learn how to live free from fear, stop reacting to threats, and walk in peace knowing nothing can separate us from God's love. Key Points: Conflict happens when selfishness collides. Fear of losing or not getting drives most of our struggles. Rerouting your thinking means choosing truth over fear. Trust the Good Father for justice, timing, and provision. Nothing—absolutely nothing—can separate us from the love of Christ. Scriptures: Matthew 5:40–42, 1 Kings 21, Romans 8:31–39, Matthew 16:24–26 If this message encourages you, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to hear more teachings that help you build meaningful, lasting relationships God's way.

A sober, hope-filled call from crowds to commitment as Pastor Roderick Webster opens Matthew 8:18–22—“count the cost, and follow Jesus, because God is still on the throne.”God is still on the throne—even when life looks dark. Today Pastor Roderick Webster opens Matthew 8:18–22 (with Luke 9:57–62 and Mark 4:36) and asks: How committed are we when the crowds fade and the cost rises? From “foxes have holes” to “let the dead bury their dead,” this devotion moves us from quick talk to long obedience. We also pause to sing My Father Planned It All, trusting God's sovereign hand.Scriptures: Matthew 8:18–22; Luke 9:57–62; Mark 4:36Theme: The cost of discipleship • Commitment over comfort • God's sovereigntyPrayer: “Lord, keep us from quick talk and make us faithful followers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Prayer is simply a conversation with your Creator.• Prayer should be more about God's will than our needs.• God is the source of everything we need daily.• It's natural to worry about the future, but supernatural to stay present.• If He's the One directing us, we can trust that He will provide for us.====================SCRIPTURES: • Matthew 6:9-13 • Philippians 4:6 • Matthew 6:33-34 • Psalm 37:25 • Matthew 18:33

The overzealous charismatic community often embraces the law of attraction incantations, unintentionally and intentionally! Sadly, "decree and declare" statements are twisted, and many believe that speaking positive affirmations into existence can manifest desired outcomes. Is this practice truly biblical, or does it lead Christians down a dangerous path of deception?

In this powerful message from Matthew 3:1–12, we unpack the real purpose behind John the Baptist's ministry—and how it demanded a radical shift in Israel's perspective. John wasn't just calling for personal reflection—he was announcing the soon arrival of YHWH and the literal, physical, Messianic Kingdom promised to Israel. This wasn't some vague Greco-Roman idea of an inner kingdom in the heart. It was a national, earthly reign just as the prophets foretold. John's baptism symbolized a public commitment to believe God's message and accept the Messiah when He appeared. It pointed forward to the cleansing and forgiveness God would offer through Jesus (cf. Ezekiel 36:25–27; Zechariah 13:1). Those who believed John's message were spiritually prepared for the coming of Christ. This sermon invites you to reconsider your own perspective. Are you seeing reality clearly—or through the wrong lens?
