In this message, Pastor Rodney talks about how much family matters to God and why we need to fight for our families with prayer, forgiveness, humility, and love instead of pride or conflict. He also reminds us that even if our family story has been painful, God can heal our wounds, break unhealthy cycles, and welcome us fully into His family.

Pastor Scott shares how being “all in” with Jesus means following His example by choosing humility, serving others, and using the gifts God has given us. We don't serve to earn salvation or impress God—we serve because we've already been loved, saved, and invited to be part of His work.

Sundays are important, but following Jesus all-in means we need real community throughout the week with people who share our faith and support us when life gets hard. Tonie's message encourages believers to intentionally join a group, because who we have “to our left and right” matters when we need encouragement and care.

Pastor Scott kicks off this new sermon series with a message that encourages us to go “all in” by truly knowing Jesus, trusting Him for salvation, and living a life that glorifies God.

Pastor Scott wraps up the Ephesians series, sharing how we face a real spiritual enemy, but God has fully equipped us with the armor of God to stand firm against the devil's schemes. Through truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, God's Word, and prayer, we can live strong in our identity in Christ and walk in spiritual victory.

Pastor Scott's message on Ephesians 6:1-9 explores how God has created order and structure in the home and in every sphere of life, calling children to honor and obey their parents, parents to disciple and discipline with grace and truth, and all people to serve and lead under His authority. He also points to the Father's love shown through Jesus, inviting everyone to receive forgiveness, salvation, and life as a child of God.

Missionary Jessie Harshbarger shares how God called her to missions as a child and describes how King's Castle in Honduras is raising up young people to evangelize, disciple children, and bring hope to communities. She challenges the church to ask God to “break my heart for what breaks yours,” reminding them that missions is for every believer—whether by going, giving, praying, or reaching the people God places in front of them.

Pastor Scott taught from Ephesians 5:21–33, emphasizing that God's design for marriage begins with mutual submission “out of reverence for Christ,” not selfishness, control, or weaponizing Scripture. He encouraged wives to respect and voluntarily cooperate with their husbands' leadership, husbands to love their wives sacrificially as Christ loved the church, and singles to prepare for marriage by learning God's design now.

Evangelist Greg Hubbard shares a message based on Psalm 126 about the importance of missions and all people hearing the gospel message.

Pastor Scott teaches from Ephesians 5 that believers must live wisely and carefully—redeeming the time, rejecting foolishness and drunkenness, and actively seeking God's will through Scripture, holiness, and Spirit-filled living. He urges constant gratitude, intentional witness to “one more” person, and invites those far from God to repent and place their faith in Jesus for forgiveness and new life.

Drawing from Ephesians 5:3–14, Pastor Scott's sermon calls believers to reject all sexual immorality and greed, submit to Scripture as the unchanging standard, and walk as children of light in the freedom and purity Christ provides while lovingly inviting others out of darkness.

Pastor Scott teaches that we, as believers, are called to honor God by using pure, edifying speech, avoiding behaviors that grieve the Holy Spirit, and speaking in ways that build others up and reflect our identity in Christ. Flowing from the gospel, we must also walk in continual forgiveness, cancelling others' debts just as God has fully forgiven and freed us through Jesus' sacrificial death.

This episode honors fathers and challenges men to reject worldly patterns—like deceit, laziness, lust, and uncontrolled anger—and instead “put on” the new life in Christ marked by integrity, service, holiness, and responsible work. Pastor Rodney concludes his message by inviting people to surrender their old lives to Jesus, be transformed by the Spirit, and live as godly examples for their families and the world.

Pastor Scott teaches from Ephesians 4 that God gives grace and spiritual gifts to every believer and raises up leaders (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) to equip the church so all can grow from spiritual infancy into mature Christlikeness.

Pastor Scott's message based on the beginning of Ephesians 4 shares how our lives in Christ should be a reflection of Him, including traits of humility, gentleness, patience, and unity of the Spirit.

Pastor Scott Nagle shares a message on Student Takeover Day based on Ephesians 3:20-21 about God's power and what He can do in our lives.

Pastor Scott explains Pentecost as the historic Jewish feast celebrating the giving of the law and, for Christians, the day God poured out the Holy Spirit to personally indwell and empower believers, marking the birth of the church. Preaching from Ephesians 3, he teaches that our identity is received from the Father, our lives must be rooted in God's unconditional love, and our strength comes from the Spirit within.

Dr. Denny Nissley tells how Jesus dramatically saved him from addiction, violence, and a crippling leg injury, transforming him into a new creation rather than just modifying his behavior. He then challenges believers to live out their faith outside the church by engaging in crises and needs, including through specialized faith-based first responder training to help people in trauma and point them to Christ.

Pastor Scott teaches from Ephesians 3:7–13 that God's extravagant grace both humbles us and calls every believer into a life of servant-hearted ministry, even when we don't understand what He's doing or why He allows “gaps” between our prayers and our experiences. Because of Jesus, we can come to God with complete honesty, freedom, and confidence.

This Compassion Sunday message teaches that Jesus is moved with deep, gut-level compassion for both crowds and individuals, and that God calls believers to share in His heart for the hurting and oppressed. A former Compassion International child, Dr. Jose Piña, shares how sponsorship, the local church, and Christ's love lifted him from severe poverty to become a doctor and leader, urging the church to sponsor children to help break cycles of poverty.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 4, 2026. We open with a clip that demands an answer — Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson went on national television and called President Trump a white supremacist domestic terrorist. We play the clip, we break down what those words actually mean in their legal and historical context, and we ask the question nobody on the left wants to answer — if you genuinely believe the president is a domestic terrorist, what is the logical conclusion of that belief? We connect the rhetoric directly to the pattern of political violence that has now produced multiple assassination attempts, explain why people who spend years calling someone Hitler and a terrorist cannot then claim surprise when someone acts on that logic, and make the case that this is not hyperbole anymore — it is an environment that is getting people killed. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Iran broke the ceasefire — attacking an oil pipeline in the United Arab Emirates that would have allowed the UAE to bypass the Strait of Hormuz and ship oil to the world independently. The UAE called it a dangerous escalation and reserved the right to respond. CENTCOM destroyed six Iranian fast boats attacking U.S. ships in the strait. The bombing is probably coming back. Then the Supreme Court allowed abortion drugs to continue shipping across state lines for now — staying the Fifth Circuit's ruling banning cross-state mifepristone shipments until May 11th while Louisiana and other states respond to the Court's questions. And Alabama and Tennessee have called special legislative sessions to redraw their congressional maps following the Supreme Court's ruling on racial gerrymandering — which combined with Louisiana's ongoing redistricting could give Republicans five more seats this fall. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a fascinating question — can you tell who is going to grow up to be a millionaire? We dig into the ADHD and autism connection to entrepreneurial success, why people with ADHD often can't focus on the mundane but will obsess on a problem with a ferocity nobody else can match, why Teri's experience interviewing millionaires for her magazine showed a consistent pattern, why the five people you spend the most time around shape your economic trajectory, and why medicating the superpower out of your kid might be the most expensive parenting mistake you'll ever make. We also cover the 68% of National Guard and Reserve forces classified as overweight — and the nearly $1 billion the military has spent on Ozempic and GLP-1 weight loss medications since 2021. We discuss whether medication is a legitimate tool for readiness or a workaround for a standard that should be enforced directly, and what it means that we are going to war with the army we have. We dig deep into Representative Rashida Tlaib's proposed Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights — a bill that would create federally protected rights for homeless Americans including the right to public spaces, freedom of movement, health care, housing, a livable wage, and education. We go through the bill section by section and explain the fundamental philosophical error at its core — that if the government has to provide it, it is not a right, it is a redistribution. Real rights come from the creator and require nothing from anyone else. The moment someone else has to labor to give you your right, you have taken their rights away. We also note that the bill proposes to end the homeless crisis by 2027 — and ask why, if that's achievable by government declaration, they need a permanent bill of rights for people who won't exist in a year. We also cover Los Angeles considering whether to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections — while simultaneously exploring ways to strip voting rights from Palisades fire victims who no longer have a physical address in the city because their house burned down. We call it what it is. We address Jimmy Kimmel's joke about Rudy Giuliani — made days before Giuliani was hospitalized in critical condition — and why jokes about people's mortality and decline aren't comedy. They're contempt wearing a punchline. For our Bright Spot, Stephen Colbert's last days on air produced one genuinely beautiful moment — Jimmy Fallon and Colbert singing the national anthem a cappella in harmony from memory on Colbert's final shows. We celebrate it — and note that if people on the left love this country enough to memorize the harmony on the Star-Spangled Banner, there is still hope. And we preview the Memorial Day concert on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol hosted by Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise — a solemn reminder that Memorial Day is not a three-day weekend. It is the day we honor those who gave the last full measure of devotion. And we close with Secretary of State Marco Rubio — who, according to social media, has now been given every job in the world by President Trump — spinning records as the DJ at a family wedding. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Pastor Rodney teaches that the “mystery” Paul describes in Ephesians 3 is that, through Jesus, Gentiles are now fully included as God's children—heirs with Israel, members of one body, and sharers in all His promises. He calls us to stop being defined or imprisoned by our past, pain, or sin, to receive God's grace instead of trying to earn it, to trust Him amid unanswered “why” questions, and to surrender fully to Christ.

Pastor Scott's message, based on Ephesians 2:19–22, teaches that through Christ we are no longer outsiders but citizens of heaven, members of God's household, and living temples being built and sanctified as a holy dwelling for the Holy Spirit. He encourages believers to pursue uncompromised holiness, participate in God's mission to unreached peoples, and invites those who have not yet trusted Christ to receive Him as Lord and Savior.

Pastor Scott's message celebrates recent baptisms as evidence of God's saving and transforming work, emphasizing that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus alone, not by good works or religious activity. He teaches that those who trust in Christ are God's workmanship with a unique purpose, brought near to God by the blood of Jesus to have peace and direct access to the Father.

Pastor Scott's Easter sermon emphasizes that the resurrection of Jesus is the central, history-changing event of the Christian faith, powerfully evidenced by the transformation and testimonies of early believers like the disciples, Paul, and James. He explains from Ephesians 2 that the resurrection reveals God's great love and grace, giving believers a new identity in Christ—raised with Him, forgiven, and seated in heavenly places, not by works but purely by God's gift.

Pastor Scott uses Palm Sunday and Ephesians 2 to show that Jesus didn't come just to make bad people better, but to make spiritually dead people alive, rescuing them from sin, darkness, and even from themselves. He emphasizes God's rich mercy and love, calling people to leave the “ways of the world,” fully follow Christ, and receive new life in Him.

Evangelist Greg Hubbard preaches from Ephesians 1 to remind us that God's power is incomparable, limitless, and proven—especially in Christ's resurrection—and that this same power is at work in every follower of Jesus through the Holy Spirit. He urges us not to live as weak or defeated Christians, but to trust and access this power for salvation, deliverance, healing, and victory in the midst of spiritual warfare and personal struggles.

Pastor Scott teaches from Ephesians 1:11–14 that believers are chosen in Christ to live for the praise of God's glory and must deflect personal praise back to Him. He explains that at salvation every Christian is marked with the Holy Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing our future inheritance.

Pastor Scott's message teaches that everyone who is “in Christ” receives rich spiritual benefits: being chosen to be holy and blameless, fully forgiven and redeemed from the bondage of sin, and able to know God's will because of Jesus' supremacy and sacrifice. He shares how Christ died for all people—not just a select few—and invites us to put our faith in Jesus and be adopted into God's family.

Pastor Rodney's message challenges us to move from only sitting in Sunday “rows” to also joining relational “circles” in small groups, where real discipleship, mutual support, and spiritual growth happen. He emphasizes that life is too heavy to carry alone, God designed us for community, and every believer has a vital role and gift to contribute in a group.

Pastor Scott launches a verse-by-verse study of Ephesians, urging believers to slow down in Scripture to discern God's will and embrace their identity as God's holy, faithful people in Christ. He emphasizes that through Jesus we have every spiritual blessing, including unmerited grace, deep inner peace, and free adoption as sons and daughters in God's family, and invites listeners to respond to that adoption.

Pastor Scott's message emphasizes that every Christian has at least one God-given spiritual gift intended to be actively used to serve others, bless the church, and act as a conduit of God's grace. Serving is presented not as a way to earn salvation, but as a grateful response to the salvation already given through Jesus Christ, with a strong call to move from merely consuming to also contributing within the body of Christ.

Pastor Scott calls the church to embrace a year‑long vision of “one more,” mirroring the shepherd in Luke 15 who leaves ninety‑nine sheep to pursue and joyfully recover the one that is lost. Believers are urged to share God's burden for lost people and to passionately rejoice along with heaven when even one person repents and comes to Christ.

Pastor Maritza's message on the book of Jonah explores God's mercy for all people, challenging us to break out of our comfort zones and share God's love and message of salvation with everyone, regardless of their background. She also shares that God is a God of second chances and urges us to respond to His call, using Jonah's journey as a reminder of the importance of aligning our hearts with God's compassionate purpose for the lost.

Pastor Scott continues an exploration of Romans 12, emphasizing the shift from teachings on belief to behavior, focusing on three foundational pillars for a Christ-centered community: pursuing personal humility, valuing and pursuing unity, and embracing diversity within the church. The message also invites us to reflect on our personal spiritual gifts and take action to serve within the church, highlighting the call to live as a reflection of Christ's love and unity.

Pastor Luke's message encourages us to embrace a daring faith in 2026 by living wholeheartedly for God, akin to the biblical figure Caleb, and challenges us to care, declare God's promises, and be aware of where God is leading us. It emphasizes the importance of trusting in God, sharing the gospel, and living a life worthy of our calling.

Pastor Scott kicks off the new sermon series, Rebooted, by encouraging us to begin the new year with faith and exploring the concept of mental renewal, focusing on Romans 12:1-2. He shares thoughts on how to transform our lives by renewing our minds and taking control of our thoughts to align with God's will through scripture.

In this message, Greg Hubbard shares the importance of spreading the light of Jesus, especially during the Christmas season, by embracing the call to evangelize in a world filled with darkness. He encourages us to be proactive in sharing our faith, recognizing that Jesus is the only source of salvation and hope for a broken world.

In this week's message, Pastor Scott explores the biblical narrative of the angel Gabriel's announcement to Mary, emphasizing the significance of Jesus as the eternal Son of God and the fulfillment of prophetic promises. He encourages us to respond in faith and obedience to God's word, highlighting the vital connection between a reverent fear of God, divine favor, and the personal call to action we each receive from God.

Pastor Rodney's sermon emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world who came to dispel darkness and transform lives. The pastor explores how Christ's birth wasn't just a sweet story but the most significant event in human history—God entering our dark world to bring hope, truth, and transformation. The message challenges believers to not only receive Christ's light but to walk in it daily and shine it to others who are lost in darkness.

Pastor Scott begins a new series focused on the biblical theme of light, illustrating how God's light, exemplified by Jesus, provides hope and direction in our lives, especially during times of darkness.

Pastor Scott closes the Money Talks series with a message on the importance of tithing as a biblical principle. Believers are encouraged to trust and test God by returning a tenth of their income to Him, fostering a mindset of stewardship over ownership and underscoring God's faithfulness in providing for His people.

Pastor Scott reflects on the biblical story of a young man's encounter with Jesus in Matthew 19, emphasizing that wealth and personal qualifications cannot secure a place in heaven, but only faith in Jesus can.

Pastor Scott explores the concept of "money talks," highlighting that God owns everything and that all possessions are His, urging us to adopt a biblical worldview and see ourselves as managers rather than owners of our resources. He encourages us to align our perspectives on money with biblical principles by understanding that everything we have comes from God.
