Episode 121: A conversation with pastor, evangelist, and professor Elise Wood. In this episode, Pastor Elise and our podcast host, Mykelti Blum, talk about lessons Pastor Elise has learned being a female in ministry. Pastor Elise is passionate about reaching the next generation for the Lord and training up young people in vocational ministry. She shares about how God is Who calls us into ministry, and He is looking for our obedience—not a perfect performance.

Your life is not about you. If you want to find a meaningful life, you have to look beyond your career, family, and momentary happiness. You exist for God. That's why we gather to honor God as a church, and that's why we seek Him personally on our own. We were created to worship.

Pastor Adam teaches in our Undivided series focusing on unity in the church and what truly matters most. Through a parable from Jesus, we explore who is part of God's kingdom, why some reject the invitation, and how humility and faith set people apart. Trust Jesus as Savior and welcome others who are different, remembering that heaven is big and God invites everyone who responds to Him.

This Easter at Bethlehem Church, Lead Pastor Jason Britt explores the ultimate turning point in human history: the Resurrection. We often view Easter as a beautiful tradition or a commercialized holiday filled with candy and bunnies, but for the first disciples, it was the definitive answer to the heavy, existential questions that define the human experience. The Resurrection doesn't just provide a happy ending; it provides a new beginning by settling the questions of our purpose, our brokenness, and our future. If you've ever wondered if your life has true meaning, why the world feels so broken, or if there is a peace that can actually sustain you in a world of fear, this message is for you. Discover why a "moderate" interest in Christianity isn't an option and how the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead can give life to your mortal body today.

Join us as we gather to celebrate Resurrection Sunday! Let's come together in worship, reflection, and joy as we honor the sacrifice and triumph of our Savior. Don't miss this special time of praise and fellowship. See you there! #ResurrectionSunday #WorshipTogether

Scripture models a family-integrated church. Not youth church, old church, or middle-aged church—but one family growing together. That's the pattern throughout God's Word (Deut. 31:11-13; Eph. 6:1–4). Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm discuss this biblical picture with Pastor Ben Seewald. Ben has not only led a long-established Southern Baptist church to drop age-segregated worship for this approach, but has worked with his wife Jessa to train their six children to participate in weekly corporate worship. Yes, there have been awkward moments—for his family and others—but seeing every generation stretched and growing together has brought him great joy.

Episode 107: a conversation with evangelist, pastor, and co-founder of Mac Ministries and Everyone Everywhere, Micah MacDonald, and our podcast host, Mykelti Blum. This recording took place in front of a live studio audience during the 2025 Single Moms Retreat. Micah and Mykelti discuss forgiveness–what the Bible has to say and the journey of God's interactions of forgiveness with humanity. Jesus is the epitome of what this looks like. They discuss misconceptions of forgiveness and why some people struggle with it. Micah and Mykelti share personal experiences of working through situations requiring forgiveness–both toward others and of themselves–and how God brought them freedom and healing in those times. They also discuss what it looks like to live a life of forgiveness, walking in humility and committing to have an unoffendable heart. There is so much Scripture to cover and wisdom to be gained from this episode. Learn more about about Micah and the work of Mac Ministries at mac-ministries.com.

God often shows up in unexpected places, to unlikely people, with unbelievable grace. Wait for God surprise you this Christmas.

Adam Bowers

Welcome to Week 2 of our powerful sermon series: "Present Yourselves – Transformed for a Life of Worship." In this message titled “Worship Together,” Pastor Chris Zauner takes us deeper into what it means to live a life of worship — not alone, but as one body in Christ.In this message, we explore:- Why worship is more than a song — it's how we belong- The transformational truth of 1 Corinthians 12: we are one body with many indispensable parts- How committing to, connecting within, and loving the Church is central to our worship- Why isolation contradicts the Gospel — and why we're better together- How the Holy Spirit places us into a spiritual family for mission, growth, and healingWhether you feel disconnected, overlooked, or uncertain of your place, this message will remind you that you are seen, designed, and called by God for community. You don't have to do life alone — because worship was always meant to be together.Key Scriptures:Romans 12:1 – Present your bodies as a living sacrifice...1 Corinthians 12:12–27 – You are the body of Christ and individually members of itEphesians 4 & 5 – Bear with one another in love... Christ loved the church and gave himself up for herTake the next step in your faith:✅ Commit to the Church✅ Connect in Community✅ Love the Body of ChristIf you've been around the Church but never surrendered to Jesus — this message is your invitation to step into a life of belonging, purpose, and spiritual family.

The Reason __ Travis Cottrell __ Worship Together Session by New Beginnings Church

A sermon from Psalm 27 on the occasion of the 77th homecoming of Stapleton Baptist Church. The first in a series entitled Worship Together.

The people of God in Ezra's time experienced opposition strikingly similar to what many Christians face today. Societies and governments have changed, but the tactics haven't. Ezra 4 reveals three familiar strategies: syncretistic offers of "unity" that require compromising the Gospel, bureaucratic warfare that weaponizes legal systems against believers, and the use of government power to forcibly shut down God's work. When the Jews reject their neighbors' insincere help to rebuild the Temple, these adversaries shift from being conciliatory to spreading misinformation and bribing officials to stop the work entirely. Ezra even points forward to examples of God's opponents securing royal decrees to stop the reconstruction of Jerusalem itself as examples of the opposition God's people face in this world.  The Rev. Dr. Curtis Deterding, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Fort Myers, FL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Ezra 4.  To learn more about Zion Lutheran, visit zionfmdev.wpcomstaging.com. The Persian king Cyrus issues an astonishing decree: the exiles may go home. Among them are the Jews—God's chosen people—whom this pagan ruler not only repatriates, but commands to rebuild the temple of the Lord. Ezra 1–4 tells of their return, the joy of restored worship, and the crushing opposition that brings construction to a standstill. Then the prophets Haggai and Zechariah speak with God's authority, calling His people to courage, repentance, and hope. In Ezra 5–8 the temple is completed, worship flourishes, and hearts are renewed in God's Word. This series on Thy Strong Word follows the events in the order they happened, revealing how the Lord moves kings and prophets, overcomes opposition, and restores His people. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

In this exclusive TalkAbout interview by Worship Together, Tauren Wells challenges us with a powerful question: Is your church focused on the Cross? Tauren dives deep into what it means to center our faith on Christ's sacrifice rather than on personal performance. Along the way, he also explores an important reflection for every believer: Are you working for God, or resting with Him? This conversation will encourage you to realign your heart, renew your purpose, and reevaluate the true source of your talent.  Watch the full episode availble on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ9_QFEmjbY&t=1s

In a world full of differences, it's easy to drift apart. But God calls us to worship side by side—united in His peace, His Word, and His name. Let's talk about how we can worship together in unity and what it means to share lives as His Church.

Corporate worship is a holy, sacred, set apart activity in the earth. There is no other gathering in this temporal world that can replicate what uniquely happens when the saints of God gather to worship Him. In corporate worship God reveals, relocates and realigns. When we worship together, we are changed together.
