  • The Road You are on Is Not Always The Right One
    2026/09/18
    Jeremiah 6:16–20 presents a powerful invitation and a sobering warning. God tells His people to stand at the crossroads, look around, ask for the ancient paths, and walk in the good way. Yet their response is heartbreaking: “We will not walk therein.”

    The passage challenges us to examine the direction of our own lives. We can ask God for guidance while already knowing what He has called us to do. We can pray for His will while resisting His instruction. We can admire the right path without actually walking on it.

    God’s question to Jeremiah’s generation is still worth asking today: Which way are you going?

    This episode challenges us to stop at the crossroads, listen for God’s direction, and choose obedience over convenience.

  • Are You Letting Opposition Stop What God has Started In You
    2026/09/17
    Nehemiah and the people of Jerusalem were rebuilding the walls, but their work quickly attracted opposition. Their enemies mocked them, threatened them, and attempted to create fear among the people. Yet Nehemiah responded by praying, setting a watch, and reminding the people to remember the Lord.

    In this episode, we look at Nehemiah 4:1-9 and verses 14-15 and consider what happens when opposition comes while we are doing what God has called us to do. The enemy may try to intimidate us, discourage us, or make us afraid—but opposition doesn’t mean God has abandoned the work.

    Sometimes we need to stop looking at the size of the opposition and start remembering the greatness of our God.

  • They Wanted The Thief Instead of Jesus
    2026/09/16
    Jesus commanded His followers to go into all the world and teach the truth. But throughout Scripture, we see that not everyone wants to hear that truth.

    Jesus was rejected in His own hometown of Nazareth. Pilate stood face-to-face with Jesus and asked, “What is truth?” And when given the opportunity to release Jesus, the crowd demanded that Barabbas—a thief and criminal—be released instead.

    Paul warned Timothy that a time would come when people would not endure sound doctrine. Instead, they would look for teachers who would tell them what they wanted to hear.

    In this episode, we explore why people reject truth, why they sometimes prefer what is wrong over what is right, and why our responsibility isn’t to change the truth to make people comfortable.

    We are called to proclaim the truth—even when people don’t want to hear it.

  • Peter Got Out Paul Stayed Why
    2026/09/15
    Peter was in prison, facing what appeared to be certain death. The church prayed, God sent an angel, Peter’s chains fell off, the doors opened, and Peter walked out.

    But then we come to Paul and Silas.

    They were beaten, thrown into prison, and locked in stocks. Then, in the middle of the night, they prayed and sang praises. Suddenly, there was a great earthquake. The prison doors opened and everyone’s chains fell off.

    So why didn’t Paul and Silas escape?

    Because sometimes God opens a door so you can walk through it—and sometimes He opens a door so you can see what He wants to do while you stay where you are.

    The answer is found in what happened next. Paul and Silas stayed, and the Philippian jailer and his household heard the Gospel.

    Then Jesus gives us another important lesson in John 21: Peter became concerned about what would happen to John. Jesus essentially told him, “What is that to thee? follow thou me.”

    The lesson is simple but powerful: God doesn’t give every believer the same assignment, the same journey, or the same outcome. Our responsibility is not to compare our calling with someone else’s. Our responsibility is to follow Jesus.

  • Do You Really Believe God Will Answer Your Prayer

  • When Yesterdays Faith Is Not Enough
    2026/09/11
    Psalm 30:6 says, “And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.” David discovered something that many of us eventually discover: sometimes our greatest confidence can come immediately before our greatest testing.

    In this episode, we look at several people in Scripture who experienced tremendous moments of faith and courage, only to find themselves struggling when the trial came.

    Peter boldly declared that he would never deny Jesus. But when the pressure came, Peter denied Him three times.

    Elijah stood courageously on Mount Carmel, confronted hundreds of false prophets, and watched God answer his prayer with fire from heaven. Yet shortly afterward, when Jezebel threatened his life, Elijah ran into the wilderness and asked God to take his life.

    But then we look at Job.

    Job lost his possessions, his children, and his health. His circumstances could hardly have been worse. Yet despite his tremendous suffering, Job continued to recognize God’s sovereignty.

    The lesson isn’t that God’s people will never become discouraged, afraid, or overwhelmed. The lesson is that our confidence must never rest in our circumstances, our past victories, or even our own strength. Our confidence must rest in God.

  • You Have a New Identity
    2026/09/10
    In 1 Peter 2:9–10, Peter gives us a powerful reminder of who we are because of what God has done for us. He says, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people.”

    Those aren’t just encouraging words. They describe our identity as God’s people.

    We are chosen. We belong to God. We are called to be different. And we have a purpose: “that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.”

    God didn’t bring us out of darkness simply so we could stand around and admire the light. He brought us into the light so that our lives could point others toward Him.

    Today, let’s take a closer look at what it means to be chosen by God, to belong to Him, and to live like people who have been called out of darkness.

  • When the Invitation Becomes a Warning
    2026/09/09
    In Luke 14:16-24, Jesus tells the parable of the great supper. A man prepares a great feast and sends out invitations, but when everything is ready, those who were invited begin making excuses.

    But notice what happens next.

    In verse 21, the master becomes angry and tells his servant to go into the streets and bring in the poor, the maimed, the halt, and the blind. Then, in verse 23, the command becomes even more urgent: “Compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”

    And then comes the sobering warning of verse 24: “For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.”

    This isn’t simply a story about a dinner invitation. Jesus is revealing the seriousness of God’s invitation—and the danger of treating that invitation casually.

    God’s invitation is gracious. It is extended. The door is open. But there comes a point when excuses have consequences.

    Today, we’re going to look closely at verses 21, 23, and 24 and ask ourselves an important question: What are we doing with the invitation God has given us?
