Guest speaker Megan Fate Marshman joins Pastor Chad to talk about what it really means to trust God. Even when we hear God, we often think we walk alone, but we don't need to. God promises to be there, no matter where we are or what we're going through. We grow through our pain when we open our lives to trust Him. He prepares us for the future and leads us through the trials we don't see coming. God uses the good and the bad, and in it all, our greatest strength is when we call out to Him.

SummaryIn this conversation, Benjamin Lee explores the concept of God as a generous gift giver, emphasizing the significance of understanding our identity in Christ, the importance of the Word of God, and the ultimate gift of salvation. He draws from the book of James to illustrate how God provides good and perfect gifts to help believers persevere through trials and maintain a proper perspective on their faith. Lee encourages listeners to appreciate these gifts and to actively engage with the Word of God in their daily lives.TakeawaysGod is described as a great gift giver in James 1:17.Every good and perfect gift comes from God, who is unchanging.God provides gifts that are beneficial and necessary for our spiritual walk.We are made in the image of God, which signifies our value and purpose.The Word of God is a significant gift that guides us in truth.The Bible is enduring and reliable in a world of fleeting information.We must actively engage with the Word of God, not just hear it.Salvation is the greatest gift, made possible through Jesus Christ.Believers are part of a spiritual family, which is a gift from God.Understanding God's gifts helps us appreciate His love and care for us.Chapters00:00 The Nature of God as a Gift Giver07:34 Understanding Our Identity in Christ10:55 The Gift of the Word of God20:20 Celebrating the Gift of SalvationWebsitewww.benjaminlee.blogInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/icando_benjaminlee/Youtubehttps://youtube.com/@icandopodcast?feature=shared
Key Points: The Lies We Believe: The most damaging lies are often not what others say but what we begin to believe about ourselves. Many people look in the mirror and see failure, brokenness, or worthlessness. The Mirror Doesn't Define You — God Does: The speaker stresses that while the mirror may reflect our face, only God can reveal our identity. You Can't Heal What You Won't Name: To overcome distorted self-perceptions, we have to name the lie we're believing — whether it's “I'm not enough,” “I'll always be stuck,” or “God can't use me.” Scriptural Reframing: Paul prays for the Ephesians to have “spiritual wisdom and insight,” not just to be smarter, but to see life as God sees it. That includes seeing ourselves with clarity and hope. Our Identity in Christ: Using both scripture and personal reflection, the message reinforces that we are handcrafted by God with purpose — just as Walt Disney intentionally created Mickey Mouse. Understanding God's story helps us understand our own. Closing Message: The speaker concludes with a call to reject the lies, grow in the knowledge of God, and embrace our God-given identity. Only by learning what God says about us in His Word can we silence the false voices and live with confidence and purpose. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Send us a textEver struggled to understand or explain the Trinity? You're not alone. This conversation brings remarkable clarity to one of Christianity's most profound doctrines through careful examination of Scripture.The discussion begins with key passages from John's Gospel that illuminate the distinct persons within the Godhead. When Jesus says the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father" and "will testify of me," we see clear evidence of distinct personhood within divine unity. These aren't mere theological abstractions but revelations of God's very nature.What makes this conversation especially valuable is how it dismantles common misconceptions about the Trinity. Many Christians inadvertently slip into modalism (thinking God merely changes forms) or tritheism (essentially believing in three gods). The participants gently correct these errors while offering a more accurate understanding: "within the one being that is God, there exists eternally three co-equal persons, namely the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."The discussion proves particularly helpful for those who encounter objections from groups like Oneness Pentecostals who claim "Jesus is the Father." By examining verses like John 5:22 ("the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son"), the logical impossibility of modalism becomes clear. If Jesus is simply the Father in another form, how can the Father commit judgment to himself in another form?Beyond theological precision, this conversation reveals why the Trinity matters for everyday faith. As one participant beautifully quotes, the Trinity is "the capstone, the summit, the brightest star in the firmament of divine truths." Understanding God as triune transforms our worship and draws us deeper into relationship with each person of the Godhead.Join us for this illuminating discussion that will equip you to better understand, explain, and worship our amazing triune God. How might your relationship with God deepen as you recognize the distinct yet unified work of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in your life?Support the show

In the first message of our series called The Lord's Prayer, Pastor Mel breaks down the opening line of this most famous of prayers: Our Father in Heaven. Preaching through Matthew 6, Mel makes the case that Christ gave us the Lord's Prayer not for mindless recital, but as a template for how we should pray. Understanding God as our Father brings the temptation to filter how we see God through the image of our earthly fathers. Mel poses the question, "What 'baggage' do we bring to our relationship with God. He explains why every child needs acceptance, affection, and affirmation. He shows in scripture how God the Father gives these things to Jesus Christ. Since we are children of God and co-heirs with Christ, we must foster our relationships with God so that they are both honoring and intimate.
Join us for the start of our new teaching series, "Leverage," where we dive into the often-avoided topic of money from a spiritual perspective. In this opening message, we tackle the question, "Whose is it anyway?" challenging the common belief of ownership and exploring the idea that everything truly belongs to God. We examine how money is deeply tied to trust in God, a subject Jesus addressed more than heaven and hell combined. Discover why Jesus used so many parables about finances and why a shift in our understanding from owner to manager can revolutionize our lives. This message explores biblical passages like Psalm 24:1 and the Parable of the Shrewd Manager in Luke 16, highlighting how our handling of earthly wealth is a test and an opportunity to invest in things with eternal value. We will discuss using what we have now to invest in things that matter forever, recognizing that stewardship implies accountability and that one day, we will give an account for how we managed what God entrusted to us. This series aims to provide a fundamental, life-altering shift in perspective, aligning ourselves with the reality that everything belongs to the Lord, and we are called to be faithful managers.

Resurrection season calls us to consider the profound meaning of Jesus' sacrifice - He paid for sins He didn't commit, making salvation personal rather than abstract. We don't go to hell because of sin but because we reject the One who thought we were worth saving and paid the price for our sins.• Courage is operating boldly, confidently, and fearlessly in the face of challenges• Six types of courage every believer needs: physical, moral, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual• Knowing your identity in Christ is fundamental to operating with courage• Understanding God's timing helps us know when to act and when to wait• Jesus demonstrated courage in returning to Jerusalem despite knowing death awaited• Lazarus' resurrection teaches us about God's power over dead situations in our lives• Unusual, authentic worship positions us for breakthroughs and miracles• God wants to shift things quickly for those willing to be courageous• Sometimes we need just one "Thomas" - someone willing to stand with us through challengesIf you're seeking a breakthrough, don't wait! Be bold like Jesus, make courageous decisions, give God unusual worship, and pray with persistence. Your faith can make you whole. Welcome To Chosen City Church!

Trusting God's Timing in a Hurry-Up World In a culture built on instant gratification and fast results, trusting God's timing can feel unnatural—even impossible. We're constantly told to hustle, push harder, and take control of our destinies. But the truth is, when we surrender our timeline and desires to God, it leads to a richer, more fulfilling life. Understanding God's Timing It's easy to assume we know what's best for our lives. We make plans, set goals, and chase what we believe will fulfill us—only to find that our best-laid strategies often fall short. But God's timing isn't just different—it's perfect. When we root ourselves in biblical truth, we can step back from striving and lean into the promises of a God who is never late. His timing may not align with ours, but it always aligns with His purpose. Trusting God's timing means believing that He's orchestrating something far greater than what we can see today. Navigating Seasons of Waiting Waiting can be one of the hardest things we do. Whether it's waiting on a relationship, a job opportunity, healing, or a sense of purpose, it's natural to feel doubt, fear, or even frustration. It's crucial to recognize that it's not about denying these feelings but understanding that they are part of a larger, orchestrated plan. When fear and doubt whisper that we're falling behind, we must remember: trust God's timing. Intentional Living in a Fast-Paced World We live in a world that equates speed with success. But the kingdom of God often moves at a different pace. Jesus was never in a hurry, and yet He fulfilled every part of His mission. We are invited to do the same: to live intentionally, not reactively. To trust God's timing, we must actively resist the pressure to keep up with the world's pace. That means setting boundaries, evaluating what truly matters, and making space for rest, prayer, and spiritual discipline. When we do this, we trade anxiety for peace—and burnout for purpose.

To declare God's truth with conviction, we must first possess a deep understanding of that truth; without knowledge, our declarations lose their power and authenticity. Understanding God's word allows us to confidently proclaim His promises and purposes in our lives. Speaking God's will in our lives and into the lives of others is both an act of faith and a proclamation of the life-giving power inherent in His Word, emphasizing that true transformation begins with understanding and knowing Him deeply.
Last week, we started a new series on the Person of the Holy Spirit. Let's come to know Him as He really is.
Understanding God's purpose requires embracing uncertainty while following the Spirit's guidance. Rather than seeking perfect clarity, we must learn to trust God's leading one step at a time. This journey involves creating space to hear God's voice, expecting resistance, and developing uncommon confidence in His direction. True direction comes through submission to God rather than endless analysis, focusing on eternal impact rather than personal significance.
In this sermon, Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez discusses the importance of faith, prayer, and understanding God's timing in our lives. He emphasizes the significance of 'But God' moments, where divine intervention changes our circumstances. The sermon explores the need for the church to recognize and uphold God's day, the role of individuals as watchmen in their communities, and the necessity of investing in prayer for spiritual growth. Co-Pastor highlights Jesus as the ultimate example of perseverance and submission to God's will, encouraging listeners to remain steadfast in their faith, especially during challenging times. In this sermon, Co-Pastor discusses the importance of faith, repentance, and prayer in overcoming life's challenges. He emphasizes the need for resilience in the face of heartbreak and the dangers of complacency in one's spiritual journey. Through the stories of Peter and Judas, he illustrates the consequences of falling away from faith and the necessity of maintaining a strong foundation in prayer. The sermon culminates in a call to prepare for trying times and the vital role of prayer in navigating struggles.Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez | May 4, 2025The Fountain Apostolic Churchone_ (2025)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plusChapters:00:00 The Power of 'But God' Moments02:45 Understanding God's Timing05:47 The Importance of Sitting, Watching, and Praying12:03 The Role of the Watchman17:48 Investing in Prayer23:57 Jesus: The Perfect Example29:59 The Call to Persevere34:27 Taking Steps of Faith Amidst Heartbreak35:58 The Dangers of Overconfidence in Faith36:53 The Power of Repentance and Resilience39:29 The Importance of Prayer in Troubling Times40:25 Judas: The Consequences of Complacency45:35 The Price of Betrayal and Regret47:43 The Need for a Strong Foundation in Faith52:12 Preparing for Trying Times56:11 The Role of Prayer in Overcoming Struggles

In this message, Jamin explores the deep intimacy God desires to have with us — an intimacy so profound that the Bible often reaches for the language of romance and marriage to describe it. Drawing from Scripture, we consider how God's love is not distant or mechanical, but passionate, personal, and covenantal. This message invites us to rethink our relationship with God not as mere duty, but as deep and abiding love.

Understanding God's character and developing a biblical worldview are fundamental to growing our faith. True faith isn't about personality type or blind leaps, but rather trusting in the unseen while building upon past experiences with God. Like the Roman centurion who demonstrated remarkable faith, we must investigate, understand, and take action based on our beliefs. Growth comes through progressive steps of obedience, requiring us to honestly evaluate our view of God and identify the next step He's asking us to take.
At some point every one of us confronts a series of related questions of enormous consequence: How do I find and fulfill the central purpose of my life? What am I specifically supposed to be doing with my time? How should I go about making potentially life-altering decisions? When I ask God for wisdom or direction, how do I know that it's actually God speaking and not just wishful thinking on my part? And what if I make the wrong decision?
How can God be three and one at the same time?In this episode of our How Stuff Works series, we explore the mystery of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Using real-world discoveries like Copernicus' heliocentric model and the outdated belief in bloodletting, we show how truth isn't something we invent—it's something we uncover.Just like scientists observed the universe and aligned their beliefs with reality, we can observe Scripture and align our faith with how God has revealed Himself.The Trinity isn't a contradiction—it's a deep truth waiting to be understood.

Marriage reflects salvation itself—God's faithfulness despite our unfaithfulness. This profound reality explains why Jesus sets such a remarkably high standard for marriage in Mark 10, declaring "what God has joined together, let no one separate" and that remarriage after divorce constitutes adultery.Yet beneath these severe-sounding statements lies a more complex and compassionate truth. The Pharisees tested Jesus with their question about divorce permissions, hoping to trap him in legalistic contradictions. Instead, Jesus cut through their self-serving interpretations by pointing back to creation's design while simultaneously revealing God's heart for protecting the vulnerable.The cultural context proves essential for understanding what Jesus condemns. In patriarchal first-century society, men could discard wives for trivial reasons—even burning dinner—leaving women economically devastated and socially marginalized. Jesus specifically addresses this injustice, saying a man who divorces and remarries "commits adultery against her." His concern centers on protecting vulnerable women from exploitation, not forcing victims to remain in dangerous marriages.Physical and emotional abuse represent profound violations of the marriage covenant. When one spouse systematically harms another, they have already fractured what God designed to be unbreakable. While God hates divorce because it breaks His ideal design, He also hates abuse and the exploitation of the vulnerable. Moses permitted divorce "because of the hardness of your hearts"—a recognition that in a fallen world, marriages can become destructive rather than life-giving.For troubled marriages where abuse isn't present, hope remains through mutual commitment to growth. The triangular model provides profound insight: with husband and wife at the bottom corners and Christ at the top, as both partners move closer to Christ, they naturally grow closer to each other. This spiritual dynamic offers healing for relationships where both parties seek Christ-likeness together.Whether you're contemplating marriage or navigating its challenges, embrace both God's perfect standard and His grace for our imperfection.

Jesus confronts the Pharisees with a challenge that goes far deeper than their superficial question about divorce law. Rather than falling into their political trap (designed to get Him arrested like John the Baptist), Jesus takes the conversation back to the very beginning—to creation itself.What unfolds is a profound teaching that reveals marriage as something hardwired into creation, not merely regulated by changing cultural laws. "From the beginning of creation, God made them male and female," Jesus declares, establishing that marriage isn't just a social contract but a divine joining where "the two shall become one flesh."This episode delves into the painful reality of divorce while exploring the theological foundations that make marriage so sacred in God's eyes. We examine how the certificate of divorce in Mosaic Law was actually meant to protect women from being treated as property, while acknowledging that God's original design never included divorce at all.Perhaps most striking is Jesus' revolutionary statement that applies equally to men and women in marriage—a radical departure from the patriarchal norms of His day. The disciples' shocked private questions reveal just how countercultural Jesus' teaching was then—and remains today.Whether you're married, divorced, or single, this teaching provides essential wisdom about the seriousness of marriage and why understanding God's design matters before entering this covenant relationship. The discussion balances theological depth with pastoral sensitivity, acknowledging the real pain of broken marriages while upholding the sacred ideal God established at creation.
