In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti kicks off the Money Myths series with a powerful teaching from Matthew 6:19–34. Jesus doesn't treat money like a neutral tool. He exposes it as a rival master that competes for your devotion.You'll learn what Jesus meant by “You cannot serve God and mammon,” why your treasure is tethered to your heart, and how worry reveals a divided soul. God calls us to stop placing our certainty in a bank balance and start leaning fully on the Lord.If you've been battling financial anxiety, a scarcity mindset, or the feeling that “more money will finally make me secure,” this sermon will remind you that God is not only a Master worth serving - He is a loving Father who knows your needs and promises to provide.
In this powerful message from our series Love That Won't Quit, we walk through the Book of Hosea and the painful prophecy of Hosea and Gomer. Betrayal. Humiliation. Covenant-breaking. And a love that refuses to quit.We also unpack what Jesus did and how he defined restoration through action. We will also examine how to continue to move through the pain of restoration and how to deal with walking through the journey of healing.

Living in the Last Days Pt. 1: Life In Three Dimensions 1 Thess. 1:1-10 By Louie Marsh, 2-22-2026 "16But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: 17" 'And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh…(Acts 2:16a, ESV) TO LIVE IN THE LAST DAYS I NEED… Three Graces to MOTIVATE me. 1) FAITH "3remembering before our God and Father your work of faith… (1 Thessalonians 1:3a, ESV) Work = a job or task · Faith brings us into SALVATION. "8For by grace you have been saved through faith… (Ephesians 2:8, ESV) · Faith looks BACK. (TO THE CROSS) "20I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20, ESV) · Faith always produces ACTION. "26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead." (James 2:26, ESV) 2) LOVE "3…your…labor of love… (1 Thessalonians 1:3b, ESV) labor = to cut, beat and used of working bread dough · Love is my response to GOD LOVING me. "19We love because he first loved us." (1 John 4:19, ESV) · Love looks at the NOW. "17But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?" (1 John 3:17, ESV) · Love keeps me GOING through the tough times. "18Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." (1 John 3:18, ESV) 3) HOPE "3…and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 1:3, ESV) · Hope keeps me from GIVING UP. "4For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." (Romans 15:4, ESV) · Hope looks AHEAD. "24For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience." (Romans 8:24–25, ESV) · Hope is just as IMPORTANT as faith & Love. [1 Cor. 13; Gal. 5:5-6; Col. 1:4-5; Heb. 10:22-24; 1 Pet. 1:22-23; 1 Thess. 5:8] 4) AIDS TO COMMUNICATE God's plan · The CONTENT of the gospel. "5because our gospel came to you not only in word…(1 Thessalonians 1:5a, ESV) · God's POWER "5… but also in power…(1 Thessalonians 1:5b, ESV) · BEING FILLED with the Holy Spirit. "5… and in the Holy Spirit..." (1 Thessalonians 1:5c, ESV) · A vital FAITH in Christ. "5… and with full conviction." (1 Thessalonians 1:5d, ESV) 5) Necessary RESPONSES TO GOD · I must TURN from my idols "9For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols…(1 Thessalonians 1:9a, ESV) · I must live to SERVE God alone. "9…to serve the living and true God," (1 Thessalonians 1:9b, ESV) · I must LOOK FORWARD to Christ's return. "10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come." (1 Thessalonians 1:10, ESV)

1 Corinthians 7:17-24 reminds believers that God's calling is not dependent on changing circumstances but on faithful obedience where He has placed us. Stay Put and Serve God challenges discontentment and comparison, urging Christians to recognize Christ's lordship over every situation and to serve Him wholeheartedly, trusting His sovereign purposes.Series: Truths from CorinthiansSpeaker: Prithvi G.Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:17-24Sermon: 17Notes: https://1drv.ms/b/c/2d96a468bbf967d6/IQDXpH6zZ5f9RKxeD3Dvkhx3AbEOwQ_0CkOpyvGDP6SH0yU?e=GgS3WU
In this episode of Creation's Paths, we sit with Jesus' stark warning that we cannot serve both God and Mammon. This is not a simplistic rejection of money, but a deeper unveiling of allegiance. When wealth becomes savior, security becomes devotion. Together, we explore what it means to return to the One Life and live in right relationship rather than economic fear.Read the full article here: Thanks for reading!

On Valentine's Day, while the world talks about romance, we confront something deeper love under pressure.In this powerful message from our series Love That Won't Quit, we walk through the story of Book of Hosea and the painful prophecy of Hosea and Gomer. Betrayal. Humiliation. Covenant-breaking. And a love that refuses to quit.We also unpack what Jesus actually said in Gospel of Matthew 19 about divorce and sexual immorality (porneia), and how Paul the Apostle addresses complicated marriages in First Epistle to the Corinthians 7.Main Scripture: Hosea 1-2; Matthew 19:3-11; 1 Corinthians 7; Psalm 51; John 8:1-11Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

“Ministry” is not something that just pastors or church musicians do.Ministry is for all Christians.The first person in the Bible said to be filled with the Spirit of God is not Abraham or Moses—it's a man named Bezalel.And in Exodus 31 we read that Bezalel is a craftsman! That is, the Holy Spirit gives him the ability to make things. It's the spiritual gift of carpentry, you might say.Now, because of the work of Jesus, the Holy Spirit has been poured out on the church. Which means every Christian has been gifted for ministry by the Holy Spirit.This means that ministry is not something specialized or “over there.” Your life is your ministry.How you live your life *is* the way you serve God.
Today's episode isn't safe, sanitized, or scripted for comfort. It's a line in the sand, drawn in Scripture, etched with conviction by Paul M. Neuberger.The church is silent. The culture is loud.But real faith never bows to convenience. Real leaders never kneel to compromise.In this episode, Paul M. Neuberger tears down the idols of autonomy, exposes the spiritual cost of abortion, and confronts “pro-choice Christianity” for what it is: counterfeit faith.He stands against outrage, ridicule, and the full force of the culture. He's undeterred.Because Jesus is still Lord—even if the world prefers silence.Are you ready for your moment of truth?Will you dare to defend what God says is sacred?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in the Word."Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." –1 Cor. 6:19-20Episode Highlights:03:22 – Christianity is a declaration that Jesus Christ is Lord. Lord, not consultant, not life coach, not one voice among many, but Lord. And lordship by definition demands our submission... Christianity without submission is counterfeit Christianity.04:44 – At the heart of the pro-choice claim within the church is the idol of autonomy. It's the belief that personal choice is sacred, untouchable, and ultimate. But scripture teaches the exact opposite... Freedom in Christ isn't the freedom to redefine good and evil. It's the freedom to obey God without chains.13:31 – To claim Christ while defending abortion is to attempt to serve two masters. You can't serve Christ and autonomy. You can't serve the author of life and defend its destruction. You can't claim obedience while rejecting his authority over the most fundamental moral issue of them all.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite
It's time to serve God with a higher level of excellence. This episode will equip you with practical wisdom and greater spiritual revelation to serve with excellence. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23-24 NIV
This week, we dove back into the story of Hosea and Gomer. As a typology, their marriage serves as a living illustration: Gomer represents the wandering church, while Hosea represents a God whose love is relentless. The core message? Sometimes the "bad" things we experience are actually God's surgical mercy, designed to save us from the "good" things that have become idols.Main Scripture: Hosea 2:1–9, Luke 15, Matthew 25:14-30, John 1, Psalm 23 Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

Romans is the Apostle Paul's fullest and clearest treatise on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout history, this letter has opened eyes, awakened hearts, and set movements in motion. It's both profoundly theological and deeply personal, revealing the truth about God, humanity, and salvation. John Stott rightly called Romans a manifesto of freedom in Christ - a freedom that remakes our lives, forms us into God's people, and sends us as witnesses of Jesus in the world.

In Part 1 of our new series, Love That Won't Quit, we step into one of the most unsettling stories in the Bible—the story of Hosea and Gomer. This is not a romantic love story. It's a revelation of covenant love, redemptive love, and a God who relentlessly pursues people who keep running away.Main Scripture: Hosea 1:2-3, Hosea 4:12, Colossians 3:5, Romans 1:24-25, 1 Corinthians 6:18-19Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

In this message, Pastor Mark Bonilla explores the "health epidemic" of isolation, noting that social disconnection carries a health risk equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. He proposed that the only remedy is authentic biblical community. You will learn:True community requires looking intently at each other, not just passing by.Like an egg must be broken and moved vigorously to change state, we must allow others to "irritate" our status quo for growth.It isn't just praying "for" someone; it's walking "with" them and literally lightening their load.You don't sharpen a knife with a rag. You need "no-people" and challengers who are stronger or wiser to hone your character.Main Scripture: Hebrews 10:24, Galatians 6:2, Proverbs 27:17Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

What do you believe about money?Money isn't good or bad, but it does reveal what's in our hearts. In this message from the Do You Believe? series, we look at what Jesus and Scripture actually teach about money, stewardship, and trust in God.Jesus was clear: we can't serve both God and money. So how do we live as slaves of righteousness instead of letting money control our decisions, our anxiety, or our future?In this message, you'll hear about:Why money is neutral, but powerful.Three common mindsets around money.How fear, pride, and trust shape our finances.What it means to live open-handed before God.Why seeking God's Kingdom first changes everything.This isn't a message about pressure or guilt, it's about freedom, obedience, and trusting God as our provider.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Awaken the Spirit Eph. 5: 15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, (the god of Dionasis) for that is debauchery (a complete and utter loss, you wasted it), but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Debauchery - you wasted a $20 bill. If I burn it, can I have another one? NOPE! At some point the HS says… no more! **The God of Dionasis - hedonism (sex partying) materialism and power. Acts 5:32 32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” The verse you are looking for is Acts 5:32. Given GK - Pour into - The act of and effect of obedience. Obedience GK - (Aorist participle) submit to advice/ To hearken to one, …Did you hear that? You think you heard it… you hearken to it? Here it is in the King James Version (KJV), which uses the specific phrasing you mentioned: "And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." Context of the Verse To understand the full meaning, it helps to know what was happening at that moment: The Scene: The apostles (including Peter) had been arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin (the Jewish high court). The Conflict: The high priest demanded to know why they were still teaching in Jesus' name after being strictly forbidden to do so. The Response: Peter famously replied in Acts 5:29, "We ought to obey God rather than men." He then explained the gospel and concluded with verse 32, affirming that the Holy Spirit is a witness to these truths—and that this Spirit is given to those who obey God (specifically in the context of believing the Gospel and obeying the command to witness). The pharisees were keeping the law, they had large portions of the OT memorized. They were the “Christians” of their day - but they lacked the power and witness of the Holy Spirit because they would not “hearken” to the Holy Spirits voice!

Pastor Micah Klutinoty shares how money is a matter of worship because it reveals who or what we truly serve, shaping both what we love and who we obey. Jesus calls us to replace a horizontal love of money with a vertical love for Christ, viewing all we have as a gift from God to be used as a tool for Kingdom impact.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you worked for the Lord? In Colossians, Paul says we should work as if we're working for the Lord because ultimately, we are! It isn't just pastors and ministry leaders who have a calling from God. The Bible says that everyone has a calling! But how do you serve God as a plumber, barista, or architect? We break it down in this week's podcast!
We all want a new year to feel different.But most change doesn't fail because of a lack of desire.It fails because of a lack of positioning.Jesus didn't say try harder.He said draw nearer.Fasting isn't about punishment.It's about clarity.It's not about what you give up. It's about what you make room for.This year doesn't begin with louder goals.It begins with healthier habits.With prayer.With surrender.With leaning into God at your inflection point.Some breakthroughs don't come from effort.They come from alignment.This is my year because this is my posture.Not a diet. Not a trend.A posture of surrender.Who's fasting something this week?Main Scripture: Luke 2:11-20; Philippians 2:3; Proverbs 4:20-22; Genesis 12:1-4; Nehemiah 8:10; John 3:16Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

This message confronts the deeply held belief many people carry that they are disqualified from God's love, purpose, or calling due to their past, their pain, or their perceived inadequacy. Mary's story reminds us that God does not wait for us to feel worthy before He works through us. Instead, He meets us in our fear, speaks purpose over us, and invites us to trust Him with what feels impossible.This sermon reveals that God's grace does not ignore our unworthiness it overcomes it. The arrival of Jesus is proof that God draws near not to the impressive, but to the humble, the hesitant, and the unsure. Like Mary, we are invited to surrender our doubts and say yes to a God who makes us worthy through His presence.Main Scripture: Luke 1:26–38Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

Joy is not the product of circumstances; joy is the overflow of recognizing that God is already at work—even when what He's doing doesn't yet make sense. What do you do when life doesn't look like what you prayed for?

Presented by Lauren Stibgen As Christians, we often consider ourselves servant leaders, but how was this phrase born into our business vocabulary as something to aspire to whether you are a follower of Jesus or not? And why do we consider servant leadership biblical at all? First, for those of you who missed the conversation about the roots of servant leadership in secular business, it all began in 1970 when Robert Greenleaf mused over an allegory about a servant who ended up being a leader of a great band of men. This story was not biblical, but it sparked the thought that those who serve with an others-first focus can become some of the greatest leaders; more than leaders who are bestowed with a title who desire power, authority, and self-focused gratification. The phrase servant leader is not specifically found in the Bible. How many times is the word leader even used in the Bible? Just a quick look in my Bible's concordance—you know the list of words in the back with references to verses—the word leader is not listed. Only, lead, leads and led. People who lead are listed. Rulers along with kings, but both rulers and kings would better describe appointed positions of authority. In the New Testament, the word diakonia—meaning servant or service—is the most used word to describe people in leadership. Not surprising the words servant, servants, serve, and service take up much more space in the concordance than any of the other “official” terms for the appointed offices. Perhaps this is why we are drawn to the term servant leader as followers of Jesus. It is deeply connected to the Word of God in describing those in the early church. In Romans 16:1 speaks of Phoebe, a servant and patron of the church. 1 Corinthians 3:5 exhorts, What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. We know each of these servants were in fact leaders of the early church. All early church leaders had one thing in common—submission and obedience to the will of God in their lives. They looked to their relationship with God in Jesus before even considering the work before them. In his book, Forgotten God, Francis Chan sums up our need for seeking and submission well in his introduction when he writes, “…as believers we can never be done with God. He is infinite and we are finite; there will always be more of his character to discover, more of his love to experience and more of his power to use for his purposes.”[1] More of his power—not my power—to lead. His power made perfect through me for his purposes. True servant leadership begins in submission to God through Christ Jesus. We see this throughout Scripture. We see the success of those who submit themselves to the Lord's will and the failure and despair of those who choose to lead by selfish ambition and pride. True servant leadership as a follower of Jesus Christ starts with a posture of submission. Is this on a leadership description for your next job—must be willing to submit. We can all say probably not. But are you willing to submit in order to become a better servant leader? God rarely uses the shiny, well-educated people to make the biggest impact for his kingdom. Remember, the disciples were mostly fishermen and a tax collector! So, if you are submitted, be prepared for God to use you as a servant leader right where you are! I have thought a lot about the Old Testament prophet Elijah. Submission to the will of God was most of his story, and God used him to glorify himself during a deeply sinful time filled with idol worship. Found in 1 Kings, God used Elijah to give word to Ahab of a drought in the land. During this time, the Lord sent Elijah away where ravens and a non-Israelite widow provided for him! We learn he stayed by a river for a while, and when it dried up, Elijah moved on. He was completely reliant on God and obedient to his call. Finally,

This Sunday we enjoyed Pastor Cameron Clark coming from Kentucky to continue on in our Essentials series.
In this message, Pastor Shawn Williams invites us to lean into Joshua's bold declaration: “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” It's a call to remember God's faithfulness and make a fresh, wholehearted commitment—whether you're just starting out in faith or have followed Jesus for decades. As a church, we're stepping into the future with confidence, ready to raise up the next generation of leaders who will live with courage, purpose, and bold belief. Now is our moment to say together: we will serve the Lord!
What am I going to do to be godly?(Genesis 2:8-9 NIV) Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground--trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.(Genesis 2:16-17 NIV) And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.”(Genesis 3:1-7 NIV) Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say,‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.(Matthew 7:21-23 NIV) “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven… Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you.' ”1. Fall in love with Jesus.(John 14:15 NIV) If you love me, you will obey what I command.2. Serve God through relationship not rules.(Matthew 5:17 NIV) “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”3. Respond to sin with life.(John 8:9-11 NIV) At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
This conversation was a wild ride through some of the most challenging questions facing progressive Christians today. Malcolm Foley—reverend, scholar, and all-around theology nerd—walked us through his journey from studying Greek church fathers to researching lynching and the Black church's witness to America. We dug into his book's central thesis that greed (not just ignorance or hate) is the root of racism, explored why Christians keep trying to serve both God and Mammon despite Jesus being pretty clear about that either/or situation, and wrestled with what it means to pursue justice with moral clarity, fierce perseverance, and nonviolent love. Malcolm challenged us on everything from our electoral anxieties to our tendency to spiritualize away material commitments, reminding us that the church is supposed to be an alternative political-economic community, not just a gathering of people who think the same things. We talked about David Walker's abolitionist fire, Ida B. Wells' relentless anti-lynching work, and MLK's theological commitment to enemy love—and why progressive Christians especially struggle with that last piece. It's the kind of conversation that makes you simultaneously want to holler "amen" and also maybe go hide because actually following Jesus is way harder than voting for the right candidate. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Rev. Dr. Malcolm Foley earned a PhD in religion from Baylor University in December 2021. His dissertation investigated Black Protestants responding to lynching from the late 19th to the early 20th century. Before coming to Baylor, Dr. Foley earned a BA in religious studies with a second major in finance and a minor in classics from Washington University in St. Louis. He subsequently completed a Master of Divinity at Yale Divinity School, focusing on the theology of the early and medieval church. Malcolm also serves as a co-pastor at an intentionally multicultural, nondenominational church, Mosaic Waco. He is the author of The Anti-Greed Gospel: Why The Love of Money is the Root of Racism and How the Church Can Create A New Way Forward .
