Most of us got our picture of hell from a movie, a cartoon, or an angry preacher, not from the Bible. So this week Pastor David opens the Bible on hell and reads it honestly, as much and as little as it actually says.“Hell” is one word in English, but four words in the Bible. Sheol, Hades, Tartarus, and Gehenna got flattened into one, and a thousand years of medieval imagery got poured in behind it.Jesus describes Gehenna in pictures, not floor plans. Whatever else hell is, he keeps calling it a place of real and terrible loss.Hell was made for the devil and his angels, not for people. The devil isn't hell's manager, he's hell's first inmate.Jesus defeated hell, so you don't have to go. The keys of death and Hades are in nail-scarred hands.Every warning Jesus gave about hell, he gave on his way to a cross to make sure you'd never go there.Scriptures: Matthew 25:31-41; Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:31; Luke 16:22-23; Mark 9:47-48; Revelation 1:17-18; Revelation 20:12-15; Luke 23:42-43; John 3:16-17Facebook: / believerscenter Instagram: / believerscenter Giving: https://pushpay.com/g/believerscenter First Time: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797243 Salvation / Rededication: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797600#BelieversCenter #Hell #Grace #JesusThanks so much for listening to the Believers Center podcast!

Have you ever worried so much that you started worrying about the fact that you're worried?60-67% of Americans experience significant daily stress and worry — and honestly, that number feels low some days. Between the economy, relationships, health scares, and just... life, worry has become normal. We've tried to medicate it, educate it, and legislate it away. But what if the answer isn't a technique — what if it's a Person?In this message, we dig into Matthew 6:25-34, where Jesus gives a surprisingly direct (and honestly kind of blunt) answer to anxiety. You'll walk away with:✅ Why worry is like sitting in a rocking chair — all motion, no progress✅ The real reason you don't feel secure, no matter how much you accomplish✅ 3 practical steps to move from worry to worship — Name It, Replace It, Start It✅ Why "what if" is the enemy of peace, and what to replace it with✅ How to start a "GOD DID IT" journal that rebuilds your faith one entry at a timeThis isn't a "just stop worrying" pep talk. It's a real, honest look at anxiety, identity, and what it means to hand your worry to a God who already sees you, already values you, and is already standing in the tomorrow you're afraid of.Worry becomes a strength when you take it to God.If you've ever wrestled with anxiety, fear about the future, financial stress, relationship uncertainty, health concerns, purpose, identity, or simply the pressure of trying to hold everything together, this message is for you.You'll discover three practical, biblical steps to move from worry to worship:✔️ Name it✔️ Replace “what if?” with “what is true”✔️ Start a “GOD DID IT” journalThis isn't about pretending everything is okay. It's about learning to trust a God who is already standing in the tomorrow you're afraid of.

Bishop Jim's insightful messages help others find THEIR METRON through M~otivation E~nlightenment T~ranscendence R~enewal O~utreach and N~etworking Learn more: www.bishinthenow.com Follow Jim Swilley on Youtube to see the videos live Sundays at 11:11 am – https://www.youtube.com/bishinthenow   In Part 4 of Seated in Heavenly Places, Bishop Jim Swilley weaves together personal stories, spiritual insight, and practical wisdom to illustrate what it means to live in the “fullness of joy.” Through the renovation of his parents' former home, the symbolic return of gardenia bushes, the repair of a beloved piano, and reflections on relationships and kindness, he teaches that joy is not merely an occasional emotion—it is our natural spiritual frequency. The message centers on healing old wounds, recognizing divine synchronicities, embracing life fully, and allowing the broken places within us to “vibrate once more.” Key Quote “Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness, chords that are broken will vibrate once more.” — Bishop Jim Swilley (quoting Fanny Crosby) Main Takeaways 1. We Are Already Seated in Heavenly Places Bishop Jim reminds listeners that heaven is not merely a future destination but a present reality. Drawing from Paul’s teaching, he emphasizes that believers have already been seated in heavenly places and are called to manifest that reality now. Scripture: Ephesians 2:6 2. Joy Is the Goal Using Hebrews 12:2 and John 16:21, he explains that difficult seasons are not meant to destroy us but to lead us toward greater joy. Like childbirth, the pain is not the destination; the new life that emerges is. Scriptures: Hebrews 12:2 John 16:21 Romans 8:18 2 Corinthians 4:17 3. Full-Circle Moments Confirm the Journey The story of removing his late mother’s old gardenia bushes only to have a landscaper independently recommend planting four new gardenias became a powerful symbol of healing, affirmation, and being in the right place spiritually. Bishop Jim encourages listeners to notice similar moments of synchronicity in their own lives. 4. Broken Chords Can Vibrate Again A piano repair revealed that expanding metal brackets were preventing the hammers from striking the strings properly. Bishop Jim uses this as a metaphor for life: hurts, disappointments, and negative words can dampen our ability to resonate with joy, but kindness and healing can restore what was lost. Scripture: John 15:11 5. Words Carry Creative Power The message highlights how deeply words affect us. Hurtful words can wound for years, while encouraging words can become lifelong anchors. Bishop Jim shares several examples of affirming statements that continued to shape and strengthen him long after they were spoken. Scriptures: Proverbs 18:21 Mark 5:34 6. Kindness Restores Human Dignity Whether encouraging a struggling young person, affirming marginalized individuals, or simply showing appreciation to workers helping with his backyard project, Bishop Jim emphasizes that kindness can restore a person’s sense of worth and help them reconnect with joy. Scriptures: Matthew 25:35-40 Luke 4:18 7. Happiness Is Holy One of the strongest themes of the message is that taking care of yourself, enjoying your life, and embracing joy are not selfish acts. They are spiritual acts. Joy is not something reserved for rare occasions; it is meant to become the atmosphere of daily living. Scripture: Psalm 16:11 Memorable Quote “Being happy is holy. Taking care of yourself is holy.” Closing Prayer Focus Bishop Jim closes by declaring that everyone listening would be awakened by kindness, restored in their broken places, and called into their highest vibrational frequency. His prayer echoes Jesus’ words: “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.” — John 15:11

Every one of us carries around a load of cares and concerns about life and one's soul.  They can become so numerous and worrisome that a person gets weighed down and unable to function properly.  Jesus is well aware of the weight of these loads and offers His help.  He will help you discard what you can, and then help you carry the others.  But you must do it His way.Scriptures:  Matthew 9:35-38;  Matthew 6:25-34;  2 Corinthians 5:14-17;  Matthew 11:28-30;  Psalm 131

Happy Father's Day! What makes a father? Is it biology, a title, or something deeper? In this Father's Day sermon, we explore the strength, sacrifice, and faithfulness of the people who helped raise us. In this special Father's Day message, we honor fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, mentors, coaches, teachers, and all those who have helped guide and shape the next generation. We also recognize the sacrifices of single parents who faithfully carried both roles, as well as the family members, friends, and role models who stepped in when they were needed most. Through the examples of Joseph, the father of Jesus, the Prodigal Son's father, and personal reflections on the lessons passed down from one generation to the next, we explore what it means to have "The Strength to Stay." This sermon is a reminder that some of life's greatest acts of love are found in showing up, staying faithful, and being present for the people God has entrusted to us. Whether you were raised by a father, a mother, a grandparent, a mentor, or someone who stepped into that role, this message is for you.

The topic of works in scripture can be confusing since there are several different kinds.  A work or deed is simply something a person does, but the reason or purpose for it is important.  There are good works and evil deeds which anyone can do.  Then there are works of the Law of Moses.  There are works of obedience and love.  We must be careful to differentiate among them.Scriptures:   Matthew 7:11;  Galatians 5:19-21;  Deuteronomy 4:5-8, 11-14; 7:6, 11;  Galatians 2:16; 3:11-12;  2 Thessalonians 1:8;  John 14:15, 21; Titus 2:14; 3:1, 8, 14; James 2:17;  John 15:8

Ever feel like your passion for God starts strong… but doesn't last?In this message, From Passion to Power, we look at Peter's journey, from stepping out in bold faith, to sinking in fear, to being restored by Jesus, and finally becoming a Spirit-filled leader who changes lives.Palm Sunday reminds us that it's possible to be excited about Jesus without actually being surrendered to Him. And if we're honest, a lot of us live right there.This message is for anyone who:• Started strong but lost focus• Feels stuck between faith and fear• Wants to be bold but doesn't feel readyThe truth is you don't need to have it all together.

Building spiritual depth in our lives with Pastor Dave Niblock.Scriptures:Matthew 23:1-7, Matthew 23:25-28

We often approach life and relationships with the selfish question, “What's in it for me?” But that is not what the Lord wants our focus to be. A person praying the petitions of the Lord's prayer for his or her dating relationships will seek to date differently. A healthy dating relationship has two believers with the same heavenly Father, seeking to glorify him and accomplish his will.Scriptures: Matthew 6:9–13

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.

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

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.

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.

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? Let's examine and debunk the numerous misused Scriptures (Matthew 7:7-8, Mark 11:23-24, Job 22:28) that many fall for in the body of Christ. Melia unveils the danger of self-reliance; unfolding a prophetic warning against manipulating God's Word and demanding things into existence! **Podcast Chapters:** **00:00:00 - 00:05:00:** Prophetic Warning: "Name It & Claim It" **00:05:00 - 00:10:00:** Decree vs. Declare: Biblical Distinction **00:10:00 - 00:15:00:** Bypassing Prayer: A Magical Inclination? **00:15:00 - 00:20:00:** Twisted Scriptures & The Law of Attraction **00:20:00 - 00:25:00:** Misused Scriptures: Examples & Context **00:25:00 - 00:30:00:** Abraham & Sarah: A Cautionary Tale **00:30:00 - 00:35:00:** Did Jesus "Name It & Claim It"? **00:35:00 - 00:40:00:** "Made in God's Image": Correct Understanding **00:40:00 - 00:45:00:** Psalm 91: Refuge & Protection in God **00:45:00 - 00:50:00:** Incorrect Theology: Prayer vs. Belief System **00:50:00 - 00:55:00:** Humility & Submission: A Call to Repentance **00:55:00 - 01:00:00:** Prayer for Truth & Restoration Blessings xo- PARTNER w/ Vertical Relationship Ministries ->https://meliadiana.com/vertical-relationship-ministries Melia's Services -> https://meliadiana.com/our-services Melia's Books ->https://meliadiana.com/books Melia's Prophetic Mentorship-> https://meliadiana.com/vertical-ambassador-mentorship Melia's Courses -> https://meliadiana.com/vertical-relationship-academy
