This Message is brought to you by the Senior Pastor of the global, multicampus ministry, Petra Christian Centre, Pastor Ayo Ajani.
This teaching by Pastor Randy Mosher, Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel of the Cumberland Valley, picks up in Jeremiah chapter 33, where the prophet Jeremiah receives one of the most powerful promises in all of Scripture—spoken while he's still imprisoned in the court of the guard. Surrounded by ruin and despair, God speaks a fresh word of hope: “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” We'll see how God reveals Himself as the Creator, the Covenant Keeper, and the Restorer—the One whose promises are as sure as the sunrise. From desolation to restoration, from silence to song, this chapter reminds us that God's faithfulness is never canceled by our circumstances. Study Outline (PDF) Study Outline (Word)

"Seek the Welfare of the City" Rev. Joe Evans, Senior Pastor
We all enjoy the things of this world, and this enjoyment is from God. However there is always a danger that good stuff lapses into a love that is unhealthy. In this sermon we look at discerning if we are loving the things of this world too much and how God can help us stop. May God give us the humility to hear this from him and accept it.

Matt Pearson, Senior Pastor of ClearView Baptist Church in Franklin, Tennessee teaches from 1 Kings 19 on "What Are You Doing Here, Elijah?"
Send us a textThe Healing SelfThe Redeemed Self | Part 4Senior Pastor Keith StewartOctober 12, 2025In last week's message, we saw how each of us is marked by the image of God that bestows on us a value, worth and dignity that should be denied us by no one. This Sunday, we're going to see how God rescues us from the discard pile of life to make something truly beautiful out of each of us. This message is all about stepping into the freedom of knowing we are loved by God. You don't want to miss this message.________Discussion Questions 1. Where do you notice “masquerade” in your life (outside-in pressure to perform) versus “metamorphosis” (inside-out renewal)? What would cooperating with transformation look like this week? 2. Which part of the redemption arc most encourages you today—bought, brought out, or set free—and why? 3. How has your current image of God (especially His goodness) been shaped by past wounds, and how might meditating on Jesus begin to reshape it? 4. “You move toward what you focus on.” What have you been fixating on lately, and what three signs of God's goodness can you name from the past few days? 5. What is one practical step this week to cooperate with metamorphosis (e.g., Scripture meditation on Jesus, reframing a lie about God, or a concrete act of obedience)? 6. Jesus said those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be “filled.” What practical step could increase your hunger for God—Scripture meditation, silence, confession, or an act of obedience—and how will you start?

James doesn't just challenge what we say—it confronts why we say it. Our words expose what's really ruling our hearts, revealing whether we're led by the Spirit or by self. In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Seth Swindall discuss James chapter 3 and the call to slow down, listen first, and let your words reflect the wisdom of the One who sees more than you do. Show notes: Listen to their weekend messages: Talk Less, Sin Less Who's the Captain of Your Life? Pastor Seth is the Senior Pastor of our church in West Tulsa. Check it out: Church On The Move West About Church on the Move: We are a family of churches in northeast Oklahoma. Our mission is to introduce people to the real Jesus. A lot of people know about Jesus but have yet to experience the life-changing power of His grace and truth. Knowing Jesus has transformed our lives, so our goal for each of our worship services, from our kids' environments on up, is to help people know that same love. We actively pursue Jesus in everything we do, and we believe He's given us a vision for a church that is deeply centered on Him and His word.
