Pastor Dr. Charles W. Ferguson Mitchell Harper
Text: Matthew 1:23 (ESV)
“‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel’ (which means, God with us).”
Reflection: God’s presence changes everything. The incarnation is divine proximity—God entering our brokenness, not avoiding it. Presence heals what absence wounds. Jesus’ birth reveals that redemption begins w...
Text: Psalm 130:5–6 (ESV)
“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.”
Reflection: Advent invites us into holy waiting. The psalmist teaches that waiting deepens trust. Our culture equates waiting with failure, but God uses it for formation. Waiting tempers impatience and births discernment. It reminds us that divin...
Text: Luke 12:15 (ESV)
“And he said to them, ‘Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.’”
Reflection: Jesus’ warning challenges our modern obsession with accumulation. Advent calls us to strip away illusions of worth defined by wealth. Christ’s birth in a manger reveals that simplicity is sacred. “Enough” is not mediocrity—it is freedom from stri...

Episode 75 – Heart Conditions: When God Doesn’t Cosign Your Words
Scripture: Proverbs 16:1
“The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.”
⸻
Proposition
A corrupt heart produces a distorted message. We can’t expect God to bless what the heart has already poisoned.
Main Question
What happens when the heart’s motives block God’s message?

Rise Up: The Resurrection Moment
Mark 5:35-43
While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
