In this powerful sermon, Pastor Roscoe shows how having a pure heart helps us see God more clearly in our everyday lives. Using Jesus' teachings from the Sermon on the Mount, he points out that real happiness and connection with God don't come from just following rules or looking good on the outside — it starts with what's going on inside our hearts. When our hearts are pure, we're able to recognize God working around us and experience a deeper sense of peace and joy.

In this opening message of our June series, we step into a powerful rediscovery of the person, power, and presence of the Holy Spirit. Far from a mysterious force or an abstract idea, Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity—eternal, intelligent, emotional, and deeply personal. Using Jesus' own words in John 16, we're introduced to the Spirit as our Advocate, Comforter, and Revealer. He's not an “it”, but a “He”—the very mind and heart of God made present and active in our lives. Holy Spirit is not here to confuse or conceal, but to guide, clarify, empower, and uncover the hidden treasures of the Kingdom already given to us in Christ. This episode will stir your faith to not just learn about Holy Spirit—but to encounter Him. From the Scriptures to your quiet time, in worship or even standing in line at Starbucks, He is speaking. The question is: Are you listening? Prepare for a fresh unveiling of spiritual truth as we allow the Author of Scripture to illuminate the mysteries of grace, truth, and your divine inheritance.

Send us a textWords create worlds. From Genesis where God speaks creation into being, to Jesus asking a paralyzed man, "Do you want to be made well?", speech carries the power to transform reality. But what happens when certain topics become unspeakable?In this episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation that explores how modern society increasingly avoids difficult conversations. Using Jesus' healing story, Bishop Wright reveals how bringing things into speech opens pathways to healing and resurrection. They also discuss more recent examples including the evolution of Malcolm X's speech as his heart expanded, the way Muhammad Ali voiced what many thought but dared not say about Vietnam, and how Pope Francis's humble question "Who am I to judge?" transformed Catholic discourse. At its core lies a powerful truth: authentic speech flows from the heart's abundance.

The greatest authority and power available to any person is a relationship with Almighty God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us that true authority comes from God, and He requires us to submit to His will. Using Jesus as the ultimate model, Pastor Allen highlights Christ's obedience and humility—even unto death—as the foundation of His divine authority. We live in a culture that resists authority, and rejecting God's authority will continue to invite judgment and diminish the Church's influence in the world. But when Christ-followers choose to recognize God as the ultimate Boss and decide to follow Him, lives are changed—including our own!    To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

This sermon explores the "Prayer of Will," a prayer of surrender where we align our desires with God's plan, even when it differs from our own. Using Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane as a model, it delves into the battle between our will and God's will, highlighting the importance of trust, obedience, and recognizing God's goodness. The sermon contrasts the expectations of the crowd on Palm Sunday with Jesus' ultimate act of surrender, emphasizing that God's will, though often challenging, leads to a greater purpose, as seen in the salvation offered through Jesus' sacrifice

In this sermon, Pastor Blake delves into the often misunderstood concept of holiness. He begins by explaining that God's holiness is greater than our failures, using the example from Isaiah 6 where God's holiness purifies Isaiah. The pastor then illustrates how God's holiness brings new life, referencing Ezekiel's vision of the river flowing from the temple. Pastor Blake emphasizes that as believers, we are called to be holy - set apart for God's purposes. He explains that holiness isn't about perfection, but about allowing God's presence to flow through us to impact the world. Using Jesus' words in John 7:38, he shows how we become agents of change when we allow God's holiness to flow from us. The sermon concludes by addressing how we pursue holiness. Pastor Blake stresses that it's not about behavior modification, but heart transformation. He uses the analogy of adding water to a jug to illustrate that we grow in holiness by adding more of God to our lives, rather than just trying to subtract sin.

Peace isn't the absence of problems—it's the presence of trust. In the final message of our Trust Issues series, we explored how true peace comes from spiritual maturity and learning to see life from God's perspective rather than our own. Using Jesus' words in John 14:22-31, we unpacked how peace grows through intentional trust, and how shifting our perspective—like Elisha's servant in 2 Kings 6—allows us to see that God is already at work in ways we can't always see.Whether you're facing uncertainty, fear, or frustration, peace is possible—not because your situation changes, but because your trust in God deepens. If you missed it, watch or listen now!

 Leading Well: A New Year's Charge for Husbands, Fathers, and Leaders In this episode of the Man-to-Man Podcast, “A New Year, A New Change,” we explore what it means to lead with purpose as husbands, fathers, and leaders. Starting a new year often brings resolutions and goals, but authentic leadership demands more than intentions—it calls for humility, vision, and faith. Using Jesus's example, this episode discusses servant leadership and practical ways to apply a new change at home, in the workplace, and within the community. Foundations of Servant Leadership Leadership modeled by Jesus contrasts the world's view of power. As described in Matthew 20:26-28, greatness comes through serving others. At home, this begins with being present and intentional in the lives of your spouse and children. Leadership is not about perfection; it's about consistently striving to lead with humility and purpose. Reflection: Jesus was hands-on with His disciples, leading by example. Are you present with your family in the same way? Think about how you can prioritize their spiritual and emotional needs this year. Lesson: Servant leadership starts at home. Whether initiating family prayer time or leading by example in your actions, every step builds trust and connection. Ephesians […] The post A New Year, A New Charge appeared first on UNCOMMEN.

In our passage this Sunday, the Apostle Paul explores the theme of submission within the family. The fact is, we are all called to place ourselves under authority. "Submit one to another,” says Paul. As one of your Pastors, I am under the authority of the Elders - this is a great thing. It brings accountability and protection.   And yet, is there a more incendiary word than submission in our culture today? A common misconception is that submission means inferiority or “less than.” Nothing could be farther from the truth. Jesus spent his entire life submitting to the will of the Father. The fact is it requires great strength to place oneself under the authority of another for mutual benefit. Using Jesus and his bride, the church as a model, Paul explains that submission within a family does not diminish value but reflects God's design for order and support within family relationships including the roles of husbands and wives.   For wives, submission to their husbands is likened to the church's submission to Christ—an act grounded in trust and reverence, but never in mindlessness or subservience. Husbands, in turn, are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church, a self-sacrificial love that prioritizes their wives' holiness and spiritual well-being.    Husbands, to lead the home is to love like Jesus and offer yourself in servant leadership. It is a man's responsibility to nurture and cherish his wife, leading her toward Christlikeness through humility, prayer and devotion. The question to ask yourself is this: Is my wife more like Jesus because she is married to me?   Paul reflects on the broader mystery of marriage as a reflection of the relationship between Christ and the church. When both husbands and wives honor their God-given roles, they foster a relationship marked by love and respect that mirrors the profound union of Christ and his people.

In this sermon, Pastor Mark delves into the topic of intentional living and spiritual formation, drawing from John Mark Comer's book "Practicing the Way." He begins by reminding the congregation that everyone is being formed into a certain type of person, whether intentionally or unintentionally. As followers of Jesus, we are meant to have our lives formed and centered around Him.The pastor outlines six shaping forces in our lives: habits, relationships, stories, environment, experiences, and time. He then challenges listeners to become more intentional about who they are becoming. Using Jesus' teachings from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), he emphasizes the importance of not just hearing, but practicing what we learn.Pastor Mark presents six ways to counter-form our lives around Jesus: teaching and scripture, spiritual practices, community, the Holy Spirit, time, and dealing with suffering. He particularly emphasizes the work of the Holy Spirit in producing fruit in our lives (Galatians 5:22-25) and the role of suffering in refining our faith (James 1:2-4). The sermon concludes with a call to action, encouraging listeners to make intentional choices in forming their lives around Jesus.#intentionalliving #transformedbyjesus #discipleship #practicingtheway #jesus #followandformed

Using Jesus' visit to the house of a Pharisee, John talked to us about Christian hospitality and the opportunities that our interactions with others across the 'tables' of our lives present.

Using Jesus entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, Pastor John shows us how to invite Him into our hearts.

What sounds like a cliche is actually a powerful truth that can change the way you view your role in any relationship. Using Jesus as the example, Paul shares how relationships will thrive when we serve one another. Humility is the first step. The next is to guard ourselves against grumbling. What does that mean? The definition might surprise you. Join Debbie Keever and Laura Piraino for the fourth in a series on relationships and be encouraged today!

In this conversation, Jason, Matthew, and Chris discuss the concept of union with Christ and its implications. They explore the idea that Jesus identifies completely with humanity and suffers with us. They also discuss the difference between a simplistic understanding of union and a profound understanding that recognizes the fullness of our identity in Christ. How the master-slave paradigm is misused to justify power and control, speaking truth with love and authority, Christian nationalism and how it undermines the integrity of the gospel, the concept of the fear of the Lord and how it leads to perfect love, breaking conspiracy thinking and the hope we can know because God is in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, in this podcast, the guys start and end with the hope of the Gospel—God is in Christ reconciling the world to Himself "The Israelite heals, that's all you need to know."

“The call to live into a more mature and resilient discipleship is in the wilderness where God longs to lead us to experiences that bring revelation and intimacy which is just not possible any other way.” - @janicechinchern Janice brought a sermon titled “In the Wilderness” where she taught from Mark 1 and Luke 4. Using Jesus' example of testings yet deep reliance on God's provision and mercies, how Jesus retreated to solitude repeatedly to seek God's face in His time of ministry, he modelled for us a life of not resisting that seemingly desolate place. She invited us to abide in the place of wilderness, where silence is the ultimate furnace of transformation, allowing God to cut through the noise of our lives and lead us gently to a place where we can heal in greater depths, where in His presence our joy is found. The question for us to reflect on this week is “What is God speaking to you about?”. As we contemplate and reflect on our wilderness, may we remain in that place with Him, inclining our ears towards His voice and abiding with greater surrender and trust.

Fast car is a song that on the surface is all about hope, new beginnings and pursuing opportunity. Yet, when you actually take in the lyrics, the song is incredibly sad. Yet what we see in the story the song conveys is a girl who wants to take responsibility for her life. Using Jesus' parable of the talents as a guide, Clint encourages us to take full responsibility for our life.

What happens when the higher standards of God's Kingdom collide with the lower standards of this world? This stirring question, inspired by Matthew 5:27-30, is at the heart of our latest More Than Medicine episode. We're diving deep into Jesus' teachings on adultery and redemption - a poignant conversation made all the more powerful by a raw testimony from a former patient. Through his personal struggle with pornography addiction and subsequent transformation, we gain a better understanding of the destructive impacts of such addictions and the resilience of the human spirit.The prevalence of pornography among Christian men is troublingly high, with effects that ripple through personal lives, relationships, and the very fabric of society. Using Jesus' teachings as our guide, we take a hard look at these issues while also finding hope in His grace, mercy, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Our exploration doesn't stop there. We'll unpack the significance of living by God's Kingdom values and how the presence of Holy Spirit in our lives can guide us to abide by these principles. In joining us, you'll discover how to lead a spiritually enriched life, and we'll share more about Jackson Family Ministry, a testament to the power of faith.https://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Is it really possible to have more peace and less anxiety in a greatly troubled world? Anxiety is all around us. You can't turn on the tv or social media without seeing anxiety and most likely then starting to feel the anxiety yourself.  We are called to be set apart. We are to look differently and act differently. How do we do that when things around us are so insane and we are seeing the world fall apart? How do we not let it get to us and cause us to have more anxiety? The world is full of chaos and unrest. But unrest is the opposite of what Jesus gives us. He gives us rest. He IS our rest.  Using Jesus as our guide we can have more peace and less anxiety in this troubled world we are living in. Because Jesus is God's gift to us of true and lasting peace.  Verses: John 14:27 Mt. 27:36-46 I pray this blesses you today!

Hey there, warriors! Welcome back to "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast". Today, we're cracking open Matthew 7:16, a powerful scripture where Jesus reminds us that we can identify false prophets by their fruit. So, how does this apply to discerning God's voice from others? Let's dive in, decipher this together, and equip ourselves with discernment that'll strengthen our spiritual journey.Thank you for reading My Reasons To Believe. This post is public so feel free to share it.Point 1: Recognizing the Voices In our lives, we encounter a multitude of voices - our own thoughts, external influences, the enemy's deceptions, and yes, God's voice. The challenge is distinguishing God's whispers amidst this noise. Jesus provides a key: watch the fruit. If a voice leads you towards sin or away from God, it's not His.Point 2: Evaluating the Fruit When we're struggling with discernment, especially in morally ambiguous or complex situations, look at the fruit. True, godly counsel aligns with the fruit of the Kingdom: peace, goodness, and joy in the Holy Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. It directs our minds toward what's true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.Point 3: Discerning Bad Fruit False voices, even if they seem scriptural, yield bad fruit: fear, guilt, doubt, anxiety, and exasperation. These voices do not align with the Kingdom of God and should be rejected.

While living in one of Washington, DC's most ethnically and economically diverse neighborhoods, pastor Duke Kwon began to see opportunities to make Jesus' love incarnate. Using Jesus' life as inspiration, Duke shares why he believes his mission is to bring restoration and healing to his community, and how Jesus' love has the power not only to transform our neighbors, but especially to transform us. Quotes “It's a glorious and beautiful calling for us to actually embody and to become personal incarnations of the very love of Christ to this world.” - Duke Kwon  “Jesus moved into the neighborhood, as it were, by His own loving initiative, and that He laid it all down more than baking us cookies and just being kind to us. He loved us sacrificially. He died for our sins. He lived again by His resurrection to give us life. And the transforming power of that kind of love then should make us true neighbors ourselves when we encounter that Jesus.” - Duke Kwon “Reconciliation is simply the healing of ruptured love. It's love being repaired interpersonally in our relationships.” - Duke Kwon  “Christians should be the first ones to jump in line to undo the harms of our injury in a wound-filled past. Christians should be the ones that are the first on our knees to humble ourselves and repent and to love our neighbor as ourselves.” - Duke Kwon   Duke Kwon's LinksDuke Kwon's Twitter Duke Kwon's Instagram   Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeGrace Meridian Hill Church   Connect with Sally Lloyd-JonesJesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

Preaching Point: Recognizing the power of Jesus through his miraculous acts should remove any doubt of his true purpose on earth to provide forgiveness of sins for everyone who places their trust in Him.Main Text: John 6:1–51Teaching Points: 1.) Admit Your Need for God's Provision vv7-15 2.) Reject Temporary Solutions to Eternal Problems vv25-34 3.) Respond to Christ' Offer of Eternal Life vv35-51Application Questions:1.) Write down one observation you found particularly helpful from this week's sermon.2.) Read Matthew 9:35–36. In what ways should your felt needs point you to the reality of your eternal needs? a.) How does properly understanding the reason Jesus did miracles help you understand Jesus' earthly ministry more, especially when it comes to your responsibility to advance his gospel?3.) Read John 4:13–15 & John 6:25–27. After reading these verses, why was looking past their temporary problems necessary for the woman at the well and the crowd to see the eternal problem Christ came to solve? a.) Using Jesus' example, how can you help people look beyond their temporary problems to see their eternal problems more clearly, hoping they will respond to the gospel?4.) Read Mark 1:15 and Luke 24:46–47. The crowds in John 6 ask Jesus what they need to do to be doing the works of God. How do these verses describe the biblical response to the gospel that God produces in a person for salvation?

How do you respond to pressure? Perhaps like me, the last couple of years have weighed heavy upon your heart as the stress of the pandemic, economic changes, the political climate in our country, and the stressors of daily life piled up. How do you move forward when it feels like you are burdened down by the pressure and stress?  The Lord promises his steadfast love and faithfulness to us as we walk through and as He carries our burdens for us.  He also give to us His grace to sustain us through the pressures of life.  Michelle sits down to talk with Pastor and author, Chris Kennedy, about his book Grace Under Pressure, Using Jesus' seven statements from the cross, Chris shows the incredibly stressful situations Jesus endured and how He handled them with grace, giving us a model on how to respond to our stresses with grace. Michelle's prayer is that you would be encouraged by this conversation.

Rev. Rebecca continues our series of saying anything with a sermon about racism. Using Jesus' response on carrying oil, we're saying what it means to be a church that talks about racism.

Groundwork: Farm Parables and the Cultivation of Faith by Rebecca CollisonHas your faith lost its flavor? Is your spiritual life dry? Does church seem more like what you do than who you are? Is your soul ready for the new planting God has in store for this season of your life?Returning to the fields of her previous book, Preparing Fields for Seasons of Change, author Rebecca Collison takes the focus from small rural churches and shifts gears to individual faith development in the Apostle Paul's call to be “God's field.” Using Jesus' agricultural-based parables as the seed, Groundwork offers a fresh perspective to working out our faith. By turning over the soil in our soul, vibrant spirituality and life-changing discipleship can emerge.With a nod to the land from which humankind was created, engagement with the farming narratives offers an organic approach to letting our roots go deep into Christ. The parables are paired with current social issues, which act as pollinators necessary for the bearing of fruit for the kingdom of God. Each chapter concludes with an opportunity to go further into spiritual practices while engaging the parable-focused seeds for contemplation, study, and exploration, either individually or in small groups.Rebecca Collison was a local newspaper reporter and a nationally certified special education teacher before answering the call to ministry. An ordained United Methodist elder known by many as “Pastor Becky,” she has served as lead pastor at churches in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. She is currently the senior pastor at Mariners Bethel United Methodist Church in Ocean View, Delaware. She holds a bachelor's and master's degrees in education, and received both her Master of Divinity and doctorate of ministry from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington DC. When not at the church, Collison lives with her husband, Glenn, on the corner of the family farm in Harrington, Delaware. They have six children and seven grandchildren. This is her second book.https://www.amazon.com/Groundwork-Farm-Parables-Cultivation-Faith-ebook/dp/B09LV38D1X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1FNNSXW7NGQ3O&keywords=%22Groundwork+Farm+Parables+and+the+Cultivation+of+Faith%22&qid=1651574204&sprefix=groundwork+farm+parables+and+the+cultivation+of+faith+%2Caps%2C254&sr=8-1http://rebeccacollison.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/51922kppb.mp3

This episode brings back Mike Ferron to talk through their experience with mental wellness, life transitions, and more. The Good Read for this episode is Relational Intelligence: The People Skills You Need for the Life of Purpose You Want by Dharius Daniels. Relational Intelligence is your action plan for getting smart about who you surround yourself with. Using Jesus's relational framework for choosing the twelve disciples, this book gives you the tools you need to define, discern, align, assess, and activate your relationships to unlock your greatest potential. Years of ministry leadership experience have taught Dr. Dharius Daniels that there's no such thing as a casual relationship. All of our relationships either push us forward into our God-given purposes or hold us back from who we're meant to be. If you're serious about taking your life to the next level, you should be serious about taking your relationships to the next level, too.

Using Jesus’ wilderness temptation, Youth leader, Gustavo Gonzalez shows us the three kinds of temptations that the devil used to entice Jesus away from His mission and calling. The devil continues to use these strategies to tempt us to turn our backs on God. Gustavo offers advice from God’s word about how to overcome them.

As Jesus was talking to his disciples, there was a man who interrupted him. He said, “Jesus, my brother will not give me my part of the inheritance. Will you say something to him so he will?” The Bible is not a weapon for us to use to bully someone and get our way. When we can't control or manipulate someone, the last thing we should do is try to use Jesus, or the bible, to get our way and that is what is going here. This guy in the crowd can't get his way so he thought if Jesus told the brother to give his part of the estate to him, then the brother would surely listen to Jesus and do what is right! Right???!!! This is hardly ever the case. People that have hurt you or have sinned against you, they know what they did was wrong. No matter how many times you throw bible verses in their face, they aren't going to listen and most likely will not apologize. This man was focusing on the wrong thing and that's what Jesus wanted him to learn. Don't focus on what others are doing or not doing, instead focus on what you, as a follower of Christ are doing or not doing. As we do that, we can ask God to take care of the situation as He sees fit!

This week we continue our series on mental health titled Abide. In this sermon we specifically address anxiety and how we can respond as believers. Anxiety can rob us of the fullness of life in Jesus and because of that it is a gospel issue. Using Jesus' words from Matthew 6:25-34 we look at how we can address our own anxiety and get closer to experiencing the fullness of life following Jesus.

We all want to be happy. But what is true happiness? And how do we find it? In this episode of the Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast we are joined by our friend, Derwin Gray, the lead pastor of Transformation Church and author of The Good Life: What Jesus Teaches about Finding True Happiness. Using Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount, Derwin helps us unpack three ways to find true happiness. You'll learn that the happiness you long for is found in becoming the person you were created to be. This “happiness” is not found in what we accomplish; it comes through what God is accomplishing in us to make our hearts like His. Happiness can be found daily, by sitting at Jesus' feet and listening and learning from Him. Related Resources: - Purchase Derwin's new book, The Good Life: What Jesus Teaches about Finding True Happiness.  Here's what our president, Lysa TerKeurst, said about Derwin's book: "This book has the most solid teaching on happiness I've ever read. Not only is this message helpful but it's also refreshingly honest and carefully researched. This is wisdom I've personally seen Pastor Derwin live out both through these pages and in everyday life."  - Study Galatians: How Jesus Invites Us to Live Free with us in our free First 5 app.  -Sign-up for the FREE Hidden Potential Online Bible Study here.  -We want to get to know you better!
