The Fullness of God

July 9, 2025 • 28 mins
God calls us to be full—not empty. He wants to fill us with both His Spirit and His Word so we can overflow with love, hope, and peace. In Acts 4–6, we see believers who were bold, Spirit-filled, and deeply rooted in Scripture. They spread the gospel with courage, even in the face of persecution and suffering, counting it a joy to suffer for Jesus. They didn’t conform to the culture or stay silent—they lived empowered lives because...

Breaking Addictions

July 2, 2025 • 28 mins
In studying Psalm 40, we see how God lifts us from the mire of sin—addictions and struggles that try to control us. We must choose to serve either sin or Jesus. True change comes from a heart transformed by encountering Christ. His love heals our pain, and His truth brings clarity. Through prayer, worship, Scripture, and the Holy Spirit, God empowers us and calls us to build habits that keep us walking in the light.

Do Not Bury It

June 25, 2025 • 28 mins
We're studying the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14–30), which teaches that God generously gives us time, talents, resources, and opportunities to serve Him. We're called to full, not partial, faithfulness. While often only a few in the church are active, God wants the whole body of Christ engaged. Even though we are saved by Jesus' sacrifice, our faithfulness still matters and is rewarded. Responsibilities are equal, even if ...

Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

June 18, 2025 • 28 mins
Stay spiritually alert and discerning—false teachers may appear godly but bring deception, sin, and destruction. Recognize them by their actions and stand firmly for God’s truth. Don’t ignore red flags; listen to the Holy Spirit, seek facts, and have the courage to confront evil. Like Jesus, David, and Moses, have a zeal for God’s honor. Confront darkness with humility, walking as a light in the world.

Supernatural Power

June 11, 2025 • 28 mins
When we seek God's presence first, we receive His peace, power, and purpose. Throughout Scripture, God demonstrates His supernatural power—parting the Red Sea, bringing down Jericho’s walls, feeding thousands—often in response to simple acts of obedience. God typically asks us to take small, faithful steps, and then He does what only He can do. The challenge is clear: Don’t settle for empty religion. We need God’s living power in o...

The Difficult Step

June 4, 2025 • 28 mins
Stepping out in faith often means entering into what is new, unknown, uncomfortable, and risky. It rarely feels safe or certain. Yet, God honors bold trust, and that first step—however uncertain—can lead to massive breakthrough. Sometimes God gives clear direction; other times He calls us to move forward even when clarity is lacking. In both, we are called to trust Him and say “yes.” He sees the full picture even when we don’t.

Religion Gone Bad

May 28, 2025 • 28 mins
Religion criticizes, condemns, and resists change, while Jesus brings truth, grace, and life. From the woman caught in adultery to David’s worship and the Samaritan woman, we see that religion clings to the past and appearances, but Jesus seeks hearts. True faith moves forward in relationship with Him, not in empty rituals or legalism.

Worship Wars

May 21, 2025 • 28 mins
Everyone is created to worship. If we don't worship Jesus, we'll end up worshiping something else. God alone is worthy of our worship, which should be a heartfelt response to who He is and what He’s done. True worship is done in spirit and truth, with reverence, humility, and gratitude. Pride hinders true worship. Worship requires full engagement, surrender, and should not be casual or distracted. It's a lifestyle, not just a momen...

How To Handle Adversity

May 14, 2025 • 28 mins
We are all called to do difficult things. As we walk through Luke 19, Jesus exemplified conviction, devotion, humility, boldness, and compassion as He entered the city, fully aware of the suffering ahead. Riding a donkey fulfilled Zechariah’s prophecy, showing his humility as the King. His actions encourage us to drop our pride, find security in God, and be faithful in our own challenges. Just as Noah, Joshua, and Peter said yes to...

You're Not Defeated

May 7, 2025 • 28 mins
Joseph's story illustrates how, despite being mistreated and enslaved by his brothers, God remained with him. We all experience feelings of defeat and despair, often blaming others or harboring resentment. However, God empowers us to make choices, encouraging us to give our burdens to Him and to be grateful rather than grumbling. Biblical figures like Paul, Moses, Gideon, Peter, and David also faced moments of defeat but found stre...

Ephesians 5:1-18 emphasizes making the most of opportunities by abiding in Jesus and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Urgency is crucial in seeking God. Identify barriers, prioritize what matters, cultivate spiritual habits, and surround yourself with supportive friends.

March 26, 2025 • 28 mins
Today we're looking at the life of Amos, a fig picker called by God to deliver a warning to the northern tribes of Israel. He urged them to seek the Lord or face exile. Despite being told to leave, Amos remained faithful and bold in his mission, drawing parallels to biblical figures like Elijah and Stephen. It's a call for believers to be bold in sharing the truth and leading others to Jesus.

Stop Feeding the Flesh

March 19, 2025 • 28 mins
We have freedom in Christ to discern right from wrong and to choose God's path. There is an internal conflict between the flesh, which represents pride and self-serving desires, and the spirit, which aligns with God's will. Feeding the flesh strengthens its influence, while nurturing the spirit leads to positive outcomes. The Bible encourages us to resist temptation and distance ourselves from stumbling blocks, relying on the Holy ...
