Where do you go when God feels distant—even though everyone says He's “with you”?In this honest episode of the Collide Podcast, we sit down with Pastor Bob Marvel to talk about the deeply personal and sometimes confusing reality of Immanuel—God with us. Bob shares about seasons when God felt hard to sense, dismantling the myth that pastors have a “fast pass” to God. Through stories, theology, and lived experience, he offers insight on God's nearness, spiritual dryness, false assumptions about faith, and how to meet God where you actually are—not where you think you should be. Whether you're longing for God, walking through doubt, or feeling spiritually hungry, this episode will remind you that God has not moved—and He is closer than you think.Meet Pastor Bob MarvelPastor Bob Marvel has served as Senior Pastor of Cornwall Church for nearly 30 years and comes from a third-generation ministry family.

Jesus' family history was sordid. But in Him, anyone can find a family among His people. In this message, Pastor Lutzer shows how Jesus broke down three barriers: racial distinctions, gender roles, and moral divisions.

Guiding Question What does biblical leadership look like, and how should elders in the church lead with the right spirit, motivation, and manner? Summary This message explores the nature of spiritual leadership as taught in the New Testament, particularly focusing on the role of elders in the church. It warns against common corruptions of leadership—seeking power, privilege, and recognition—and contrasts these with the humble, servant-hearted leadership exemplified by Jesus Christ. The sermon unfolds in several parts: The Perils of False Leadership Motivations Leaders tempted by personal power, privilege, and recognition Jesus' strong condemnation of such attitudes in Matthew 23 The Proper Motivation for Eldership A genuine eagerness to serve others, not to exalt self Caring, guiding, admonishing with a servant's heart The Right Manner of Leadership Leading by example, not intimidation or coercion Authority is earned through godly living worthy of imitation The Role of the Senior Pastor Jesus Christ as the ultimate Senior Pastor Elders as His associates fulfilling His commands The Responsibility of Those Led To know, appreciate, and imitate their leaders To follow with trust and confidence in their godly example Encouragement for Leaders and Congregation Leaders humbly seeking God's strength Congregation embracing their role in supporting leadership Key Takeaways Leadership is not about personal gain: The desire for power, privilege, or recognition perverts the office of elder. Servant leadership is essential: Elders must lead with a heart to serve others eagerly and selflessly. Authority comes from example: Elders lead by living lives worthy of respect and imitation, not by demanding obedience. Jesus is the true Senior Pastor: All church leaders are His representatives, serving under His authority. Followers must respond rightly: Christians are called to know their leaders, respect them, and follow them with faith and trust. Leadership requires humility and dependence on God: Leaders should recognize their own insufficiency and rely on God's strength. Scriptural References Matthew 23:1-12 — Jesus' rebuke of leaders who seek power, privilege, and recognition, and His call to humility. 1 Peter 5:1-4 — Instructions to elders to shepherd the flock willingly, not lording over, and leading by example. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 — Call to know and appreciate those who labor in leadership. Hebrews 13:7, 17 — Remember and imitate leaders' faith; obey them with confidence and joy. Recorded 11/9/80

Join us beginning this January as we explore how to keep your faith simple in just 5 minutes a day. Not over complicated, simple faith is a great way to start each day. And don't forget to bring a friend!Life can often feel overwhelming with constant notifications, the demands of work, and family obligations. Many of us equate peace with having no problems, but life doesn't work that way. Control over circumstances doesn't bring peace; it brings chaos. The peace offered by the world is conditional and fragile, but the peace Jesus offers transcends circumstances. Jesus' peace, referred to as 'shalom,' represents wholeness, completeness, and harmony. This peace doesn't eliminate chaos but sustains us within it. To experience this peace, one must surrender control, stay present, and seek God's presence. The peace of God guards our hearts and minds, acting as a sentinel against anxiety and fear. As we light the second Advent candle, the candle of peace, we remember that Jesus came to be our peace in imperfect situations.00:00 The Chaos of Modern Life00:50 Redefining Peace02:32 Jesus' Promise of Peace03:38 The Meaning of Shalom04:24 Experiencing Peace in the Storm05:19 Practices to Cultivate Peace07:42 Conclusion: Embracing Peace

If Christians are called to shape systems, then we must understand what distinguishes a Kingdom model from a worldly machine. Dr. Rutland brings clarity, simplicity, and unmatched leadership wisdom to this crucial distinction.  What You'll Learn in Part 2: How to identify the spirit, values, and drivers of worldly systems. What defines a Kingdom-driven system: righteousness, integrity, service, stewardship, and vision. Why leadership in the Kingdom is built on honor, humility, and accountability. How systems either form people into their image or free people into God's image. Why the Kingdom model produces transformation, not exploitation. A Word from Dr. Mark Rutland "Worldly systems demand success. Kingdom systems cultivate significance. One uses people—the other raises them." ABOUT DR. MARK RUTLAND — The Man, The Myth, The Legend Dr. Mark Rutland is a pastor, evangelist, educator, and New York Times best-selling author. His leadership journey has shaped universities, churches, and global missions. He has served as: Senior Pastor, Calvary Assembly of God, Orlando, FL President, Southeastern University, Lakeland, FL President, Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, OK Founder & Director, National Institute of Christian Leadership He also leads Global Servants, rescuing vulnerable girls from trafficking through the incredible House of Grace in Thailand.

The Bible says angels are in the presence of God, delighting to do His will. Two thousand years ago, many were sent to a field where some shepherds were watching over their flocks. In this message, Pastor Lutzer highlights two reasons angels are a model to us of rejoicing and serving. This Christmas, why do we rejoice?

We don't have the ability to love God truly or fully in our own strength. So how does Christ become the Lord of our affections, over any of our false idols? In this message, Pastor Lutzer unveils three indications that we love God with our heart, mind, and strength. We were made to love God with our whole being.

Many Christians understand purpose—but still miss timing. Dr. Rutland confronts one of the most overlooked truths: God's will requires God's timing. Purpose without timing creates chaos. Timing without obedience creates delay. But when purpose and timing align—systems shift, doors open, and favor flows. What You'll Learn in Part 1 Why divine timing is a spiritual discipline, not a coincidence. How to discern the difference between your timing and God's timing. Why rushing God's process leads to unnecessary warfare. How prophets and leaders can cultivate sensitivity to God's pace. Why being "late in the spirit" can cost you opportunities God intended for you to carry. A Word from Dr. Mark Rutland "God is never early and never late—but we often are. Maturity is learning to walk at His pace, even when everything around you tells you to run." ABOUT DR. MARK RUTLAND — The Man, The Myth, The Legend Dr. Mark Rutland is a pastor, evangelist, educator, and New York Times best-selling author.

The angels of Bethlehem proclaimed Jesus' arrival, exalting and glorifying God. The angels themselves are a poignant example for us.

If we are to make God the priority in our lives, we must put him above all other competition for our attention and affections.
