Pastor Ivan challenges Western Christian assumptions about depravity, the cessation of spiritual gifts, and me-centered Christianity. Using Scripture and personal stories, he casts a vision of Kingdom culture—a worldview where believers walk as empowered sons and daughters, partnering with God to bring heaven to earth through love, transformation, and the active gifts of the Holy Spirit. This sermon calls the church to move from passive belief to bold, Spirit-filled action that demonstrates that Jesus is alive.

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.

In this message from Matthew 22, the preacher exposes the popular but unbiblical idea that people become angels when they die. Using Scripture and context, he explains Jesus' response to the Sadducees and clarifies that believers will not turn into angels but will live eternally with Christ in glorified bodies. The sermon traces the origins of this false belief through culture, art, and media, showing how emotional comfort and entertainment have distorted biblical truth. Ultimately, the message calls believers to stand on God's Word with confidence, exercise discernment, and find true comfort in the promise of salvation — not in sentiment, but in Scripture
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.

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.
In this episode, Dr. Kenny Williamson takes a closer look at the evolutionary claim of “natural selection.” We are told that it is the driving force of evolution—survival of the fittest, random mutations shaping life over millions of years. But does the evidence really support this idea, or is it another myth of conventional science designed to explain creation without the Creator?We'll examine how natural selection is often confused with simple variation within a kind, something the Bible affirms when God created every creature to reproduce “after his kind” (Genesis 1). Instead of proving evolution, natural selection shows only limits and adaptation, never the rise of new kinds. The real myth is the claim that blind chance and survival alone could create the intricate design we see in life.Using Scripture and reason, we'll expose how natural selection has been elevated to a false god of science, and we'll return to the truth that life exists by the power and wisdom of Almighty God. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” (Psalm 14:1).Melchizedek Chronicles Truth Seekers Ministries by Dr. Kenny WilliamsonIf you are considering donating to Truth Seekers Ministries, please understand that your contribution is a 'gift' and is not tax deductible.

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.

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
In this message, Dr. John addresses how a loving God can send people to hell. Using Scripture, he explains that God rightfully acts for His own glory since His infinite worth surpasses all creation. Sin against an infinitely glorious God constitutes an infinite crime deserving infinite punishment. The real question isn't "How can God allow hell?" but "How can God allow heaven?" - marveling at His grace toward undeserving sinners.Hell Explained: In this one week series, Dr. Neufeld unpacks the often difficult and uncomfortable doctrine of Hell. This study will discuss the biblical description of hell, how we can reconcile hell with the God of the Bible, and how it's important for Christians to reflect on the seriousness of hell.
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.

In today's message, Pastor Jack emphasizes the importance of maintaining a good conscience to stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit's guidance. He explains that faith operates from the heart, and when we ignore our conscience, it becomes dull, hindering our ability to hear from God. Using Scripture, he highlights how a seared conscience leads to spiritual deafness and deception, urging us to walk in the light of God's Word and repent when we fall short. Pastor Jack reminds us that Jesus' sacrifice cleanses us completely, allowing us to approach God boldly for grace and mercy. He encourages us to guard our hearts, stay aligned with God's truth, and reject cultural lies, ensuring we remain responsive to the Spirit's leading in every area of our lives. The message closes with a call to repentance and restoration, inviting anyone feeling distant from God to step forward for prayer and renewal.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

Grace Without Truth? Responding to Berean Holiness from an Apostolic Perspective | Word of Mouth PodcastDescription:In this powerful episode of the Word of Mouth Podcast
Presented by Lauren Stibgen Are you an expert at something? Perhaps you have gone to school for an advanced degree in a specific subject. Your deep knowledge uniquely qualifies you among your peers and shows people just how qualified you are, but suddenly your expertise is no longer welcomed. People don't seem to appreciate what you have to say or care about your accomplishments and accolades. We have considered different people in the Bible who seemed disposable. Let's explore an ultimate expert who was easily dismissed or disposed of—Jesus. In Scripture, we learn of Jesus' innate knowledge of the Word. In Luke 2:42-47, Jesus is only 12 years old when his parents take him to Jerusalem for the customary Passover. When the feast ends, they leave, but Jesus stays. Frantically searching as parents would, they go back and find him. After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers (Luke 2:46-47). Surely, we know Jesus is the Son of God, which is ultimately why he knows the Word, but here Jesus establishes this at the young age of 12. After his baptism by John, we know Jesus is led into the wilderness for 40 days and tempted by Satan. When Satan tempts him in his hunger, Jesus answered, “It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone” (Luke 4:4). Again, he establishes for us a deep knowledge and reliance on the Word of God. As he began his ministry, Jesus taught in the synagogues of Galilee and was glorified by all (Luke 4:15). But then he went home to Nazareth. Going to the synagogue he read from Isaiah, and while they spoke well of him and marveled, someone asks, “Isn't this Joseph's son?” You can read more about this interaction in Luke 4, but it ends with them driving Jesus to the edge of town, attempting to throw him off a cliff. Why? Because he quotes Scripture about himself, and no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. Throughout the Gospels, we read about Jesus' rebuke of the religious leaders for their actions and, well, inactions. Using Scripture the leaders of the day knew richly, he showed their hypocrisy repeatedly, ultimately leading to such great jealousy that they called for his crucifixion. Those of us who have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior know all of this was part of God's plan to redeem his people and the world. Jesus lived as an expert to the ultimate sacrifice of being disposed on the cross, but he rose on the third day and has eternal life at the right hand of the Father! God's plans are always greater. When you feel dismissed for your expertise and deep knowledge, rather than leaning into discouragement, pray to the Lord! How will he use your unique talents and gifts for his glory? Today our professional experience and expertise are always on display. From LinkedIn to TedX, to being a member of a coveted organization, if you aren't on display, it can feel like you aren't qualified for what is next professionally. Maybe it is a title or the way someone dresses at work. Perhaps you hope to attend meetings or a company offsite but weren't selected. Remember, like Leah, God has a plan just for you!
