In this episode, Pastor Sam explores how the same Spirit who moved in that upper room is still moving today—equipping us to live with courage, unity, and purpose as witnesses for Christ in our world.
Before ascending to heaven, Jesus gave His disciples both a mission and a promise: to live as Spirit-empowered witnesses to the ends of the earth until He returns.

The book of Acts begins with a powerful reminder: Jesus’ story didn’t end with the Gospels. In Acts 1:1–2, we see that His work continues—through His Spirit and through His church.

The mission of Jesus is still unfolding, and He calls His people to step into it with boldness and faith.

Psalm 40 paints a vivid picture of life in the pit—a place of despair, struggle, and above all, the reality of sin.
In this episode, guest speaker Toby challenges us to recognize that we all find ourselves in that pit, unable to climb out on our own. But the good news is this: God hears our cry, lifts us out of the mire, and sets our feet on solid ground.
This is a call to reflect honestly on our need for rescue and t...
Psalm 66 calls us to remember with awe the mighty works of God—both in Scripture and in our own stories.

When we testify, we become living invitations for others to “come and see” the goodness of God. ...
When life feels uncertain, where do you turn for guidance? In Psalm 25, David isn’t just asking God for quick answers—he’s asking to be shaped into the kind of person who walks in God’s ways.

In this episode, Pastor Joe Li revisits the often-overlooked prayer of Jabez—not as a formula for personal gain, but as a bold cry for God’s mission to expand through us. With just two verses tucked inside a long genealogy, Jabez dares to ask God to enlarge his territory.
But what if that “territory” isn’t about land or influence, but about our heart for people who have never heard the name of Jesus?
