In Part 2 of our “The prosperity gospel, the poverty gospel, and the truth most Christians miss” series, we dive into some of Jesus' most controversial teachings on wealth. You've heard “sell everything,” “camel through the eye of a needle,” and “blessed are the poor,” but what if we've been misunderstanding who He was talking to and why?  In this episode, we unpack: Why Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell everything—and why He didn't tell Zacchaeus the same thing. The real reason wealth can be dangerous (it's not what you think). Why Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and a group of wealthy women were never asked to give everything away. The parable that proves Jesus wasn't against being wealthy—but was deeply concerned about our heart posture. Why abundance is meant to be shared—and how shopping, gardening, or even buying sunglasses can become worship. A fresh, biblical perspective that helps you steward what God has given you without shame, guilt, or greed. Resources Mentioned:

This summer, we're not just reading the Sermon on the Mount—we're climbing the mountain with Jesus.In this opening message of our 12-week Summer on the Mount series, Pastor Casey invites us to encounter the voice of Jesus not as ancient wisdom, but as the present and powerful voice of the King. Rooted in Matthew 5 and 7, this sermon explores:

In this episode, we explore the early life of Jesus—from His humble birth to His powerful stand against Satan in the wilderness (Luke 4). We dive deep into what the Bible reveals about His finances and work, His growth in wisdom at just 12 years old, and His spiritual strength developed through prayer, fasting, and the Word. You'll learn how Jesus prepared Himself to fulfill His calling—and how you can do the same.

This Pentecost Sunday, Elder Ken Schwendemann brings a fiery word that will stir your spirit and awaken your calling. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to be baptized not only in the Spirit—but in power.

Through powerful stories, biblical insight, and prophetic encouragement, this message dives deep into: Why Jesus said wait before you go The difference between the dove and the fire of the Holy Spirit The gifts of the Spirit as spiritual nukes—not religious badges Why power is essential to overcoming the works of the enemy A personal call to step into your purpose, anointing, and inheritance You were never meant to just survive. You were created to carry Kingdom power.

We're not just invited to believe in Jesus – we're called to be filled with Him. In Colossians 2, Paul confronts deceptive ideas that threaten to replace Christ with lesser cosmic claims, including legalism, mysticism, philosophy, and spiritual forces. He reminds the Colossians, and us, that we don't need to add anything to Jesus. Why? Because in Him, the fullness of God dwells, and we have been given fullness in Him. In this message, Pastor Louis explores Christian cosmology – the grand story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration with Jesus at the very centre. It's not a tribal or partial Gospel. It's a universal truth for all of creation. You'll discover:

Why Jesus?: MiraclesMatthew 9:18-34 Pastor Christopher www.bethanycovenant.com 

Baptism is more than just a ritual — it's a layered encounter with grace that stretches from ancient Jewish practices to the earliest Christian communities. But why do we do it? And how does it shape our faith today?In this thoughtful reflection, we explore:

Why Jesus?: Incarnation John 1:9-14 Pastor Christopher Ek with special guest, Missionary Karl Noren.We have been asking the question, "Why Jesus?" Jesus should have disappeared into obscurity, but instead became the most influential person in human history. One of the reasons is that Jesus came into the world in the most unique and surprising way. Listen this week as we explore the incarnation of Jesus and what it means for us today. Later in the message we hear from Karl Noren who serves as a missionary in Cameroon. www.bethanycovenant.com 

He's not in the tomb — He is RISEN!This Resurrection Sunday, listen in as we celebrate Living Hope — the powerful truth that because Jesus lives, we have confidence, assurance, and victory in every season.Drawing from Luke 24, John 12, 1 Corinthians 15, and more, this message invites you to walk in the resurrection promises of Christ. It's not just about what happened 2,000 years ago — it's about what's possible for you today.

Have you noticed how—especially here in the Western world—we crave simplicity and speed?“3 Easy Steps to Lose Weight.”“6 Secrets to a Happy Marriage.”“12 Steps to Financial Freedom.”We're drawn to whatever promises quick results with minimal discomfort. But when it comes to the Kingdom of God—especially when it comes to seeing with spiritual eyes—it doesn't work that way. There are no shortcuts. No life hacks. Because spiritual sight doesn't come through information—it comes through transformation.It's born in the presence of God. It grows through abiding. And it matures in those who linger with Him when others move on.Today, in Part III of Do You Want the Red Pill or the Blue Pill, Steve shares his personal journey into this kind of sight—not as a formula, but as a relationship. A life lived close to God, where clarity comes not through steps, but through staying.But let me say this—What you'll hear today is more than reflection.It's preparation. Because in Part IV, we'll begin to explore why this kind of vision is so urgently needed. Why Jesus warned us about the Days of Noah...and why only those who truly abide will recognize what's happening in our time.But for now, let's begin where all true sight begins:In His presence.

Preaching from Matthew 6:19–34, Pastor Benjer explores Jesus' words about treasure, worry, and trust, calling us not simply to financial responsibility—but to full surrender of our hearts. Key Scripture: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21 Jesus speaks directly and powerfully about the role money plays in our lives—not because He's after our wallets, but because He's after our hearts. We all live under a vision for our lives—whether it's one the world has sold us or one that Jesus is inviting us into. The truth is, few things threaten to derail Jesus' purpose for your life more than the pursuit of wealth, possessions, and comfort. This sermon helps you reflect on the questions: • Who is your master? • Who do you trust? Jesus says you cannot serve both God and money. The call is not simply to budget better or save more—but to move from unbelief to belief in Jesus in every area, including finances. In this message, you'll hear: • Why Jesus talks about money more than almost any other topic • How your view of money reflects your trust in God • How the pursuit of “more” can suffocate the calling God has placed on your life • Why surrendering this one area might be the breakthrough your faith needs • How generosity, saving, and wise spending are spiritual practices of discipleship—not just financial strategies Through stories, Scripture, and honest reflection, this sermon reminds us that Jesus doesn't save us just from something—He saves us for something. He created us as His workmanship, with good works prepared in advance for us to walk in (Ephesians 2:10). But when our hearts are entangled with wealth, we miss out on the greater vision God has for our lives. Three Practical Next Steps: 1. Give away a percentage off the top – Not out of obligation, but to realign your heart with God's priorities. 2. Say “no” now to say “yes” later – Build savings and margin in your life so you can live wisely and generously. 3. Enjoy what God provides with gratitude – Celebrate His provision while remembering these gifts are tools, not gods. This is not about guilt or shame. It's about grace and freedom. Jesus invites you to trust Him in the area that may feel hardest to surrender—and promises that when you seek first the Kingdom, all these things will be added to you. Reflection Questions: • Have you ever considered that money might be more than just a resource—it might be a rival god? • What dreams or purposes might Jesus have for your life that are being crowded out by the pursuit of comfort or financial security? • Is there a step you need to take today to reorient your heart? For Anyone Struggling: If you've been through financial hardship or feel overwhelmed by money decisions, know you are not alone. Jesus cares deeply about your needs. He also offers a better path—one that leads to peace, purpose, and eternal significance. Whether you're just starting to follow Jesus or have been walking with Him for decades, this message is a call to deeper trust and greater surrender.

Jesus calls us to a deeper kind of generosity—one that's hidden, humble, and heart-driven. In this episode of the SimplyRevised Podcast, we explore Matthew 6:1–4, where Jesus challenges His followers to give without seeking recognition. Today we contrasts Kingdom giving with public performance, reminding us that true righteousness isn't about being seen—it's about being faithful. We'll explore: • Why Jesus warns against giving “with trumpets” • How generosity reflected covenant faithfulness in Scripture • What it means to give in secret—and be seen by God Join us as we consider three simple ways to cultivate hidden generosity in today's world.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 726 What if the greatest threat to your success isn't the world around you, but the self-sabotaging lies in your mind? Bizzie Gold, Brain Pattern Mapping + Behavior Expert, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 726, to reveal the hidden pathways of self-deception, how subconscious patterns distort our sense of identity and drive us to repeat old destructive emotional loops we mistake for “normal” life, and the roadmap to rewiring your brain so you can finally live in alignment with your true potential. "Every person's brain pattern type has a unique set of self-deceptive tendencies. Self-deception is the fuel for everything negative that we experience in our lives. Every loop that we get stuck in, every pain and conflict that we have in a relationship, it's all a byproduct of self-deception." - Bizzie Gold
