This episode dives into the high-profile prophetic words for 2025 released by Cindy Jacobs and the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders—and asks the hard question: what actually came to pass, and what didn't?In this Remnant Radio conversation, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller walk through the major 2025 prophecies from Cindy Jacobs and ACPE, examining themes like national shaking, global conflict, economic turbulence, spiritual warfare, and calls to intercession and repentance. Using Scripture as the plumb line, they explore how Christians should approach national-level prophetic words, how to test them, and what it really means to practice prophetic accountability in the local church and the broader body of Christ.The guys discuss the tension between honoring prophetic ministry and refusing to give in to spiritual hype, asking honest questions about what to do when timing, details, or outcomes don't match what was proclaimed. If you care about Christian theology, charismatic gifts, and the future of prophetic ministry, this episode will help you think more clearly about modern prophecy, discernment, and integrity in the prophetic movement.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach reflects on the events in Venezuela to ask a sobering biblical question: does judgment come for everyone?

Spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident. Just like our physical health requires regular checkups, our spiritual lives need honest evaluation and intentional care.In this message, we're invited to pause and examine where we truly are with God. Using Scripture as our guide, we walk through key areas of spiritual health including salvation, time with God, worship, community, serving, and generosity. The goal isn't guilt or comparison. The goal is growth.This sermon challenges us to ask better questions as we begin a new year. Not “Did I attend?” or “Did I look spiritual?” but “Am I actually growing?” Following Jesus means regularly examining our lives and choosing practices that help us mature in wisdom, faith, and obedience.If you want 2026 to be different spiritually, it starts with an honest self-check and a willingness to grow on purpose.Connect with us!Missioncity.church

As a new year begins, many people rush to make resolutions rooted in hope, emotion, and intention. In this teaching, Pastor Azizah Morrison draws a clear biblical distinction between abstract resolutions and inner resolve.Using Scripture, this lesson explores how true transformation begins with settled decisions of the heart, not temporary motivation. You will learn why so many cycles repeat, how double-mindedness produces instability, and why God emphasizes resolve over promises. From Daniel's quiet conviction in Babylon to Jesus setting His face toward Jerusalem, Scripture reveals that lasting obedience flows from inner finality.This message invites listeners to move beyond trying harder and into living governed, aligned, and spiritually settled. The teaching concludes with a prayer asking God to establish resolve within us for the year ahead.This is not a message about goals. It is a call to inner alignment.

Sermon Summary: “Who Hijacked Christmas?”   Christians Reclaimed Christmas The sermon explains that Christmas was not stolen from Christianity—Christians intentionally reclaimed it. Long before Christ, pagan cultures celebrated the winter solstice with fleshly festivals. Believers stepped into that moment and redirected the season to focus on God sending His Son. Rather than abandoning the season, the church redeemed it for truth. The Birth Matters Because the Resurrection Matters While the resurrection is the greatest event in history, the birth had to happen first. Christmas is celebrated not because of a date on the calendar, but because without the birth there is no cross, no empty tomb, and no salvation. Celebrating Christ's birth honors the beginning of God's redemptive plan. Defending the Virgin Birth A central emphasis of the sermon is the virgin birth. Jesus was not merely born—He was conceived by the Holy Spirit. This supernatural conception is essential to Christianity. If Jesus is not born of a virgin, He is not the Son of God and Christianity becomes just another religion. The church historically elevated Christmas to defend this truth when it came under attack. Jesus Is the Good Shepherd and God's Gift Through John 10 and the illustration of the candy cane, the sermon teaches that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for the sheep. The red represents His blood, the white His purity, and the shepherd's staff His care and protection. Jesus came to give abundant life and eternal life. Celebration Is Biblical Just as Israel celebrated God's miracles (such as Hanukkah), believers are encouraged to celebrate God's greatest miracle—Jesus Christ. Celebration does not equal compromise. Giving gifts reflects God's nature, because God loved and gave first. Materialism is a heart issue, not a Christmas issue. The Unseen Became Seen The sermon highlights that Christmas marks the moment when the unseen God became visible. Jesus stepped into human history, walked in our shoes, suffered, and redeemed humanity. His coming proves God did not abandon a fallen world but entered it to save it. Stand for Christ in Every Season Believers are called to stand boldly for Jesus—not just at Christmas, but in every moment of life. The world is imperfect, but Christians are light in darkness, using every opportunity to point others to Christ rather than withdrawing from culture. The Greatest Gift Still Offered The message concludes by reminding listeners that Jesus is still healing, delivering, restoring, and saving. He is the Anointed One who sets captives free. Christmas ultimately declares that God sent His Son as a ransom, offering forgiveness, healing, and eternal life to all who believe.     This sermon explains that Christians did not lose Christmas—they redeemed it. While many cultures celebrated pagan festivals around the winter solstice, believers intentionally reclaimed the season to celebrate the greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ. Though Jesus was likely not born in December, the timing does not diminish the meaning. The focus is on why we celebrate, not the calendar date. The message emphasizes that the birth of Jesus is essential, because without the birth there could be no death, resurrection, or salvation. Christmas matters because it defends the virgin birth, which confirms Jesus as the only begotten Son of God, distinct from every other religious leader. If the virgin birth is denied, Christianity collapses into just another religion. Using Scripture from Isaiah, Luke, and John, the sermon highlights Jesus as the Good Shepherd, the Anointed One (Messiah), and God's help sent into the world. His supernatural conception, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection reveal that the unseen God became seen in human form. The sermon challenges believers not to abandon Christmas because of materialism or cultural misuse. A fallen world will always distort good things, but that does not negate truth. Instead, Christians are called to stand up in every moment—holidays, workplaces, families, and culture—to proclaim Christ. The message closes with a call to endurance and bold faith, urging believers to let God heal their wounds, stop focusing on imperfections, and consistently testify that Jesus is the Son of God, born of a virgin, crucified, resurrected, and still saving today. Christmas is not about traditions—it is about celebrating God's greatest gift to humanity.

In this episode, we examine one of the most controversial questions circulating in Christian prophecy circles today: Could Donald J. Trump—former U.S. President, global political icon, populist hero to millions, and polarizing figure to millions more—fit the biblical profile of the Antichrist?We're not here to sensationalize or slander. We're here to analyze. Using Scripture as the foundation, we explore how prophecy describes the coming world ruler, what characteristics he must have, what roles he must fulfill, and whether Trump's personality, influence, rhetoric, and global reach align with that prophetic outline—or fall short of it. Along the way, we break down what Christians should and should not conclude about political leaders, why certain figures attract prophetic speculation, and what dangers arise when the church elevates or demonizes public figures without careful biblical discernment.This episode is not about politics—it's about prophecy, influence, deception, and the importance of keeping our hope rooted in Christ rather than charismatic leaders. Whether you view Trump as a hero, a threat, or simply a historical figure, this discussion will challenge your assumptions and refocus your perspective on what Scripture actually teaches about the Antichrist, the last days, and the nature of global leadership in a world moving rapidly toward prophetic fulfillment.Links:Israel Guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrpfH7z_Kik&list=WL&index=13https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PslOp883rfIMusic: Strawberry Candy - (Space Desert (1 Hour) - Royalty Free 1 Hour Space Ambient Music For YouTube Videos | Free DownloadStrawberry Candy | Free Background Music ).https://soundcloud.com/strawberry-candy-music/space-desert-1-hour-royalty-free-1-hour-space-ambient-music-for-youtube-videos-free-download

The Right & Wrong Alignments | The Todd Coconato Show  Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give TODAY ON THE TODD COCONATO SHOW The Right and Wrong Alignments As we move closer to 2026, one of the most critical areas believers must gain clarity in is alignment. Who you walk with will determine how far you go, how strong you stand, and how clearly you hear the voice of God in the next season. Not every relationship is meant to continue, and not every door that opens is sent by the Lord. In today's broadcast, Pastor Todd breaks down the biblical truth about right and wrong alignments and why God often requires separation before promotion. Using Scripture, discernment, and real life wisdom, he explains how to recognize who you are meant to partner with and who you are meant to bless and release. The Bible is very clear that alignment affects destiny, peace, fruitfulness, and spiritual authority, especially as we step into a more demanding and decisive season. This message will help you understand why some relationships bring strength while others bring strain, why certain connections sharpen your calling while others slowly drain it, and how God uses alignment to prepare His people for what is ahead. If you want to step into 2026 positioned, focused, and walking with the right people around you, this is a broadcast you do not want to miss. Very important broadcast.

In this message, we explore The Power of Revelation—how God's revealed truth brings light, clarity, and direction to our lives. Revelation is not just information; it is God uncovering what was hidden so we can walk in understanding and purpose. Using Scripture, we see that revelation exposes what is concealed, brings understanding even to the simple, guides us into God's purpose, and ultimately calls for a response from us. From Simeon's declaration in Luke to the response of the wise men in Matthew, this message reminds us that when God reveals Himself, we are invited to see, understand, and act. Key Scriptures: Luke 2:32 Luke 12:2 Psalm 119:130 Ephesians 1:17 Matthew 2:11 May this message encourage you to seek God's revelation, receive His wisdom, and respond with faith and obedience.

This Christmas Eve, Pastor Nate reminds us that the birth of Jesus is more than a familiar story — it is the moment God stepped into our world to realign our hearts with what we were truly made for. Using Scripture, the imagery of a wandering compass, and the breathtaking truth of God's relentless love, this message invites us to rediscover Jesus as our True North — the only One who can satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. Whether you're feeling off-course or simply ready for a renewed sense of joy and direction, this message points us back to the good news of great joy: a Savior has been born, and He has come to bring us home.

In this eye-opening message, Pastor Jentezen Franklin teaches how the Jezebel spirit operates through manipulation, control, intimidation, and deception, often working quietly behind the scenes to undermine God-given authority and silence truth. Using Scripture, he explains how compromise, fear of confrontation, and lack of discernment allow this spirit to gain influence in lives, families, and even churches.With our studio kitties listening in

CHRISTMASThis morning we are going to look into and see if Jesus or as I like to say Yahshua Messiah, was born on December 25. Now I realize that within the Church world that it is taught that Jesus/Yahshua was born on December 25. But is that correct?Using Scripture from Yahweh's Word we will find out the truth on this subject. And then my friends you must draw your own conclusion. Keep in mind the words of Yahweh; Colossians 2:8, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Yahshua Messiah.” Luke 1   Luke meaning “Light Giver”5)  Herod = “hero-likeZacharias = “Yah has remembered” Elisabeth = “El of Oath”. Her son being that oath and promise  Abijah = “My Father is Yahweh” What is this course? This is the 8th course of 24. In which King David set up at his time of rule. Read 1 Chro. 24, especially verse 10. According to custom, each of the Priests must officiate for one full week in the Temple of Yahweh. The courses started at the first New Moon of the first month of the Jewish Civil Year. Now knowing this, Zacharias course fell on our June 13-19. This period of time important, for this sets the time of the birth and conception of John and His cousin Yahshua, our Saviour23           days = his week of June 20th. Note Zacharias lived app. 30 miles from the Temple. For a man his age, it took him 2 days to walk home, therefore making the date around June 22-23.24  after = “meta” association and companionship [relating to the events of Zacharias upon his arrival hom conceived = possibly June 23 or 24 hid = completely secluded. Probably to avoid all possibility of uncleanness, as in Judges 13:4-7, 12-14 five months = Nov. 2426  sixth month = Dec. 25  Galilee = “circuit” This name, which in the Roman age was applied to a large province, seems to have been originally confined to a little “circuit” of country around Kedesh-Naphtali, in which were situated the 20 towns given by Solomon to Hiram king of Tyre as payment for his work in conveying timber from Lebanon to Jerusalem. Joshua 20:7; 1 Kings 9:11 Nazareth = “the guarded one”36  cousin = therefore Mary must have some Levite blood within her.6th month = being the 24 or 25 of our December Take note both of these pregnancies are perfect. For they are from Yahweh! So therefore, Yahshua was conceived 6 months AFTER John, so this conception would be on Dec. 25!57  full time = a perfect 280 day's, March 28-29Luke 24  went up = literally true, the ascent from Nazareth to Jerusalem being at least 1500 feet.Joseph = increaseGalilee = “circuit” those 20 cities given to King of Tyre from SolomonNazareth = “the guarded one” City of David = also called Zion Bethlehem = “House of Bread” House of David = that King line out of Judah7   On that 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles, Tishri 15th. This is why Yahshua is our true Tabernacle [Hebrews 8:2]. Now, this would have been on our Sept. 29, 4 BC manger = crib11  is born this day = That 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles [go to charts of the calendars]in the city of David = BethlehemThe conception of John the Baptist on or about 23rd SIVAN = June 24 | in the year 5 B.C.The Gennesis (Begetting) of our Lord on or about 1st TEBETH = December 25 | in the year 5 B.C. The birth of John the Baptist on or about 4th–7th NISAN = March 25-28 in the year 4 B.C. The birth of our Lord on or about 15th TISRI = September 29 in the year 4 B.C.Have any questions?

Some conversations are not misunderstandings. They are spiritual assignments. In this episode, Dr. Delisa Rodgers exposes why explaining yourself to the wrong audience can drain your authority, disrupt your peace, and pull you into unnecessary warfare. Using Scripture, Hebrew insight, and prophetic discernment, this teaching reveals how confusion operates as a spiritual weapon and why silence is sometimes the most powerful response. If you have ever walked away from a conversation feeling exhausted, unheard, or spiritually unsettled, this message will sharpen your discernment and restore your authority. This is not about being rude. This is about being wise. Stop explaining. Start discerning. Scriptures referenced: Mark 1:25, Genesis 11:7

Send us a textIn this episode of The Public Square on the Pursuing Faith Network, Iggy and Mike continue the conversation on biblical masculinity—but this time by looking at what manhood is not.They react to a viral moment involving Myron Gaines, where a man approaches him and admits that after following his advice, he felt empty, disconnected, and even led into sin. Rather than taking responsibility for the message he promotes, accountability is deflected—and that moment opens the door to a much deeper conversation.Iggy and Mike unpack why so many men are drawn to self-centered versions of masculinity, how “me-first” teaching leads to emptiness, and why strength without humility and submission to God will always fall short. Using Scripture, discernment, and real-life experience, they contrast culture's definition of manhood with the biblical standard that actually brings life, purpose, and freedom.This episode isn't about attacking people—it's about protecting men from messages that promise fulfillment but deliver emptiness.

In this episode, Michael breaks down why daily prayer isn't optional—it's spiritual protection. Using Scripture as a battle plan, he shows how to stay “prayed up,” shut down the enemy's assignments, and walk into your day with clarity, peace, and authority.

The sermon challenges us to align our intentions with God's will, so our service, obedience, and daily choices flow from a sincere love for Him, not habit, pressure, or appearance.

"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." What if the organizations so many celebrate as symbols of unity, legacy, and purpose… are actually part of something much deeper—something unseen? In this revelatory message, Pavielle Bee exposes how Satan has weaponized deception to make spiritual bondage appear beautiful and allegiance to darkness look like empowerment. Using Scripture and insights, I uncover a strategy the enemy has been perfecting for generations—a war waged in plain sight, disguised as community, culture, and pride. This teaching explores: ✅ How spiritual warfare operates through deception and agreement ✅ The hidden power of vows, oaths, and rituals many overlook ✅ Why some believers unknowingly defend what's actually opposing God ✅ How to recognize when you're part of something that looks godly but isn't ✅ The path to true freedom and spiritual clarity "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." — Sun Tzu The question is… what if that war has already reached you?   NEXT STEP TO DISCOVERING GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE

Dr. Dan Tomberlin calls the church to reclaim its mission by boldly obeying Jesus' command to “go and make disciples” in this final sermon in the “Let The Church Rise” series. Using Scripture, history, and cultural examples, the Dr. Tomberlin argues that believers today must see themselves as everyday missionaries in a changing, increasingly secular world, engaging people with courage rather than fear. Baptism marks our new identity and Spirit-filled life, and sanctification shapes our minds, hearts, hands, and feet so we can carry the gospel wherever we go. Ultimately, the message urges Christians to live sent—bringing Jesus to the nations who are now at our doorstep.

In this timely and convicting message, Pastor Jay exposes one of the enemy's most effective strategies against the church, the danger of division and offense. Using Scripture and practical insight, he reveals how offense is the seed from which division grows, how pride deepens wounds by preventing forgiveness, and how disunity weakens the church's witness to a watching world. Yet, through humility, forgiveness, and Christlike love, the church can silence the enemy, heal relationships, and shine brightly again as one body under Christ.

In this message, Pastor Brandon invites us to consider a simple but revealing question: What brought you to church today? Whether it's habit, curiosity, loneliness, a need for encouragement, or a desire to worship, he reminds us that whatever brought us in, we're in the right place and God meets us right where we are.From there, he takes us to Luke 17 and the story of the ten lepers, showing how Jesus meets people in their deepest needs and how gratitude becomes an act of true worship. Drawing from his own life-changing trip to a leper colony in India, Pastor Brandon highlights two core truths: a lifestyle of worship is always thankful that God provides for our daily needs, and a lifestyle of worship is always thankful that God saves our souls. The healing of the one returning leper becomes a picture of obedience, gratitude, and transformation — a reminder that the movement of God often waits on the other side of our obedience.Throughout the message, Pastor Brandon challenges us to evaluate our worship: Is it quiet and reserved, or does it overflow from a thankful heart? Do our lives reflect obedience to Jesus, not just in song but in the way we live? Using Scripture, personal stories, and encouragement for the season ahead, he invites us to live as people whose whole lives, bodies, voices, choices, and gratitude point back to the worthiness of God.

Pastor Jack challenges us to stop letting logic talk us out of the miracles God wants to bring into our lives. Using Scripture, personal stories, and the foundation of the resurrection, he teaches how reasoning can become a prison—but faith breaks us out.

In this episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings, who is a devoted Catholic, respectfully critiques the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop's November 12, 2025, pastoral video on immigration. Doug praises the Church's 2,000-year legacy and defense of the unborn, and he argues Trump's deportation policies uphold Catholic teachings on rule of law, dignity for all, and common good. Using Scripture and Catechism, he urges balancing mercy with justice amid massive illegal entries. Pro-Catholic, pro-Trump call for prayer and dialogue.---------------Subscribe to Doug's YouTube Channel: @TheRightSideDougBillingsAnd prayerfully consider setting up a monthly recurring donation to his show at www.DougBillings.usSupport the show

In this powerful episode 120 of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim tackle a question that's dividing many church leaders today: Should churches delete their social media? Is it a modern-day mission field—a place to reach the lost where they already are—or a minefield filled with distraction, comparison, and temptation?Tim argues that social media remains one of the greatest outreach tools of our time, a place where light can shine in dark spaces if used wisely. He believes the church must show up where the people are—online—and steward that influence for the Gospel. Drew, on the other hand, shares his growing conviction that God may be calling his church away from these platforms altogether. With rising anxiety, digital addiction, and performative faith, is it time for churches to reclaim focus and move back toward in-person community and discipleship?Together, they explore the tension between digital relevance and spiritual integrity—between engagement and distraction. Using Scripture, real-world data, and ministry experience, Drew and Tim wrestle with what faithful stewardship looks like in the digital age. Should the church remain on platforms owned by secular corporations—or build its own spaces to connect and communicate?This episode will challenge how you view your church's online presence—and help you discern whether your digital strategy is expanding God's kingdom or simply feeding the algorithm.Check out our brand-new merch store! ⁠⁠https://eyesonjesuspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/⁠⁠Get all our links in one easy place! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotional⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/3v8963s⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email feedback, questions or show topic ideas to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on ⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Drew's church's website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://yes.online/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Tim Ferrara: ⁠ ⁠ Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In “Don't Be Afraid of Pressure – Part One,” Creflo Dollar teaches that the pressures of life are not meant to destroy believers but to develop them. He explains that God often allows pressure to reveal what's inside us—faith, character, and endurance—and to prepare us for greater purpose. Just as diamonds are formed under extreme pressure, spiritual growth and strength are produced when we trust God in difficult seasons. Dr. Dollar reminds listeners that pressure exposes whether we are relying on our emotions or standing firmly on God's Word. He warns that running from pressure can cause us to miss divine promotion, because every challenge is an opportunity to prove God's faithfulness. Using Scripture, he shows that even Jesus faced immense pressure in the Garden of Gethsemane, yet chose obedience over fear. Likewise, believers are encouraged to stand firm, knowing that God never allows more pressure than they can bear and always provides a way through. The message concludes with the assurance that pressure doesn't break the believer—it builds them. When handled with faith and perseverance, it becomes the very tool God uses to bring victory, maturity, and blessing. “From Jaggy, Tedi, and me — thank you for spending time with us here on Cat81 Radio. We pray today's message lifted your spirit and strengthened your walk with the Lord. Until next time, keep the faith and keep shining His light!”

Pastor Caleb Cole kicks off Kingdom Builders—a new Project Church series on generosity—with a powerful reminder that God calls us to build His Kingdom through open-handed living and faithful stewardship. Using Scripture from 2 Corinthians 9 and 1 Timothy 6, Pastor Caleb breaks down four steps to cultivating a heart of generosity: trusting God as our source, living open-handed, being rich in good works, and staying Kingdom-minded. Through personal stories, biblical insight, and practical application, this message challenges believers to see giving not as sacrifice but as seed—an act that grows faith, freedom, and eternal impact.

Pastor Tunde Badru   This message, delivered at RCCG Salvation Center, explores God as the 'Untimed' God—never late and operating by divine principles. Using Scripture and real-life stories, the speaker emphasizes that God's limitless power is accessed through faith, forgiveness, and obedience to His principles. Through examples like the revival at Elisha's tomb, the story of Martha and Mary, and personal testimonies, the sermon encourages listeners to persist in prayer, renew their spiritual identity by forgiving others, and trust that God's timing brings breakthroughs even when human hope has ended.

This passage shows us how easy it is to miss the heart of God's Word. The Pharisees loved money and used the law to justify themselves, twisting it whenever it suited them. Jesus calls them out and reminds us that while the gospel has come, the intent of God's law still stands — it's about love, mercy, and faithfulness, not control or appearances. The danger for us is the same: we can know Scripture, quote verses, even win arguments, and still miss Jesus in the process. The Bible isn't meant to make us right — it's meant to make us new. So today, let's not read for information or justification, but for transformation. Open your Bible, listen for God's voice, and let His Word shape your heart.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Feeling crushed under the weight of depression? You're not alone—and it's OK to say “I'm not OK.” In this powerful Sunday message from our “Weeds in My Garden” series, Pastor Christine Ingram shatters the lie that real Christians don't struggle with depression. Using Scripture and science, she reveals God's design for lifting the heavy blanket and raising your baseline of joy, peace, and resilience.You'll discover:✅ Why King David, Hannah, Jeremiah, Paul—and even Jesus—faced deep lows✅ The GIANT lie the church needs to break about depression✅ 3 God-designed ways your body fights depression (tears, sunlight, gut health)✅ How abiding in God's presence + gratitude rewires your brain for joy✅ What to do in the “dark night of the soul” or winter seasons of despair✅ A miracle healing story: Audrey's 3-year battle to full restoration✅ Practical steps to “winter well” with God and come out strongerIf you're battling depression, anxiety, or a crushed spirit, this message is for you. God is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and wants to exchange your spirit of heaviness for a garment of praise (Isaiah 61:3).CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatec...→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_ch...→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatech...WE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!

In Week Two of our Be Generous series, Pastor Dustin Smith reminds us that encouragement is more than kind words—it's a lifestyle that reflects Jesus in what we say, how we serve, and how we act. Using Scripture from Ephesians, James, and 1 Thessalonians, he challenges us to speak life with our voices, serve with joy even in hard seasons, and show love through our daily actions.Through personal stories of transformation, Pastor Dustin shares how simple encouragement—like a card Larry Wilkinson gave him, a smile, or a word of hope, it can break generational strongholds and reveal God's plan for redemption. We're reminded that our words carry the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21) and that genuine encouragement has the potential to draw others closer to Christ.Key Takeaway: Be generous with your encouragement. Speak life, shine your faith, and love out loud—because the way you use your words, serve others, and act in love can change lives.

In 2025, the world celebrates “tolerance” — but what happens when tolerance replaces truth?In this powerful episode of Behind The Mike Podcast, host Mike Stone breaks down why real love doesn't stay silent and why silence doesn't bring peace — it just lets confusion grow louder. Using Scripture from John 8, John 4, and Ephesians 4:15, Mike explores how Jesus embodied both grace and truth — and how believers today can do the same.If the Church won't speak truth in love… who will?

Our culture loves to twist God's truth… especially when it comes to biblical submission. In this episode, Quortney unpacks one of the biggest lies women believe: that submission means silence, weakness, or losing yourself. Using Scripture after Scripture, she reveals how submission is actually shows spiritual wisdom. Support the showConnect with the ladies of Her Portion, HERE!

Send us a textThere are just some common, persistent Hebrew Roots claims—I would even call them “biblical myths,” because they're so clearly untrue, yet they're continually repeated and still believed. In this video, we explore and debunk four such claims made by Hebrew Roots (Torah-observant) teachers—claims that often lead believers into confusion and division. In fact, we will interact with actual clips from a Hebrew roots teacher named Melissa Smith (aka God's Little Hummingbird).Using Scripture as our authority, we test each claim for its theological soundness and practical implications:How do we define sin? How can Gentiles be freed from the law if they were never under it?Did the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 give Gentile believers a "starter pack" of laws?Did Paul really keep the law in Acts 21?This video challenges the assumptions behind modern Torahism and aims to build up the body of Christ with clarity and truth. This discussion is a deep dive into biblical theology—more than just soundbites—and whether you're new to this conversation or deeply invested in it, you'll walk away with a clearer understanding of how the gospel of Jesus Christ stands in contrast to Torah-keeping legalism.The Biblical Roots MinistriesOur websiteOur YouTube ChannelProf. Solberg's BlogSupport our Ministry (Thank you!)

Jamie Franke brings a message on the certainty of the end times, the reality of final judgment, and the two possible eternities—heaven or hell. Using Scripture, he urges listeners to live as realists who accept these truths and prepare accordingly. The sermon calls believers to urgent action: renew evangelistic efforts, train new preachers, and respond personally by turning to Christ, being baptized, and committing to the Great Commission while there is still time.

This episode of Prove All Things continues the deep dive into the mystery of the lost tribes of Israel. Using Scripture, Assyrian records, and historical sources, the hosts explore what happened to the deported Israelites and challenge the theory that they simply vanished or assimilated. Evidence is presented connecting the Israelites to the Scythians, Cimmerians, and later Celtic and Gaelic peoples. The discussion highlights how history, language, and archaeology support the biblical record of Israel's dispersion.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach reflects on the recent canonization of Carlo Acutis, a 15-year-old Italian teen recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. Using Scripture, he explains why sainthood and praying to saints are unbiblical, reminding us that all believers are called saints and that Jesus alone is our mediator. The episode ultimately points us back to the gospel, where glory and miracles belong only to God. Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss? Email us at wakeup@ccchapel.com!

In All Things Take Time to Grow, we’re reminded that God’s timing is always perfect—even when it feels slow to us. Drawing lessons from the towering California redwoods and the patience of farmers, this devotional encourages believers to trust the Master Gardener as He works in our lives. Using Scripture from Habakkuk 2:3, 1 Corinthians 3:6, and Galatians 6:9, it challenges us to remain faithful, patient, and confident that the harvest will come in His appointed time. ✨ Highlights Why growth in God’s timing is never truly slow, even when it feels delayed Lessons from California redwoods and the patience required for deep spiritual roots The danger of prematurely harvesting blessings before God’s appointed season Encouragement from Habakkuk 2:3 and Galatians 6:9 to persevere in faith Remembering that God gives the growth, not our own striving

This conversation digs into the hidden seeds—experiences, influences, and exposures—that shape how we think, feel, and live, often without us realizing it. From early encounters with violence and destructive media to the subtle ways culture and relationships plant “tares” in our lives, the message is clear: what's sown in us will eventually grow, for better or worse. The episode explores how satanic or evil influence isn't always about dramatic events but can be as simple as unripe, immature seeds planted in a moldable mind.Using Scripture and real-life examples, the discussion shows how to trace the origin of toxic patterns, place them in their proper context, and face them head-on. This process—trace it, place it, face it—becomes a path toward freedom, revealing the true self God intended. It's a call to pause, deny the false identities we've picked up along the way, and follow Christ into a journey of transformation.Ultimately, the episode challenges listeners to recognize that not everything growing in their life was planted by God—and that freedom comes when we allow Him to uproot what's false so the real, ripe version of ourselves can flourish.
