  • 12-05-2025 PART 3: Faith That Dances Beyond the Battle
    2025/12/05

    Section 1

    The testimony begins with Rosalyn pushing past spiritual intimidation, refusing to let fear silence her praise. She shares how, in the midst of cancer and chemotherapy, the Lord granted her enough strength to participate in a tap-dance performance she had barely been able to rehearse for. By learning dances through videos and stepping into class only twice all semester, she still managed to perform well, even receiving encouragement from classmates who believed no one could tell she had missed so much. Her perseverance opened small but meaningful relational doors—particularly with a classmate who had kept the tiny Jesus figurine she once gave him. That moment allowed her to invite him into pre-show prayer and share her testimony of Christ’s healing, revealing that God was already stirring faith where she least expected it.

    Section 2

    The story deepens when Rosalyn is voted “Most Valuable Dancer,” a gesture from her classmates that honored her resilience and confirmed the Lord’s favor despite her physical battle. But the Lord added more “sprinkles,” as she called them, through a powerful encounter in the restroom. A woman she had never met began speaking boldly about God and healing, sharing that she had seen people medically declared terminal who later walked away completely cured. When Rosalyn revealed her diagnosis, the woman prayed over her with striking authority, declaring with conviction that God would heal her and that her testimony would touch many lives. The presence of the Holy Spirit filled the room so strongly that even others who entered could sense it. Rosalyn left energized, uplifted, and spiritually charged beyond her physical limits.

    Section 3

    The most mysterious moment came when Rosalyn realized she never saw the woman again. Despite expecting her to return to the performance room, the woman vanished after their encounter, leaving Rosalyn wondering whether she had met an angel. David shared a similar story from Joshua’s infancy—an unexplained doctor who appeared, spoke healing, and was never seen again—illustrating that God sometimes ministers through supernatural messengers. The encouragement is clear: God often uses moments like these to elevate faith, strengthen courage, and remind His children that unseen help surrounds them. The testimony closes with prayer—asking the Lord to increase Rosalyn’s faith, strengthen Robert’s heart, and lead them into deeper confidence in His promises. Through every step, the story declares that God answers prayers more abundantly than we expect, and the family of God rejoices and weeps together as He continues to work.

  • 12-05-2025 PART 2: Citizens of a Better Kingdom
    2025/12/05

    Section 1

    The passage opens with Paul’s sobering warning in Philippians 3, where he urges believers to imitate a godly pattern while recognizing that many live as enemies of the cross. Their focus is fixed on earthly concerns, and that fixation leads them away from the heart of the Gospel. The contrast Paul draws is sharp: those who keep their minds on temporal things drift from Christ’s purpose, but those who remember that their citizenship is in Heaven stay aligned with the Lord Jesus Christ. The explanation continues by recalling Peter’s moment of worldly thinking, where he tried to deter Jesus from the path of the cross. Jesus rebuked him because Peter’s affection drifted from the things of God toward the things of men. The warning is that anything outside the kingdom mindset becomes a distortion, even when it appears compassionate or well-intended.

    Section 2

    The teaching then emphasizes that the believer’s hope is never rooted in repairing the present world as though it were our final home. Scripture affirms repeatedly that God will bring forth a new heavens and a new earth, not a polished version of the current one. The earthly-first mentality confuses priorities by elevating creation above the Creator. As the text reminds, our allegiance is not to temporary structures but to the eternal kingdom of God. Hebrews reinforces this by presenting the patriarchs as people who longed for a better country—a city designed and built by God. Our orientation, therefore, must follow that same trajectory. The message also highlights the inner discomfort many believers feel in this world, a sense that something is misaligned. That uneasiness is a spiritual signpost, reminding us that this present age is not our destination.

    Section 3

    The argument continues by showing how the entire book of Hebrews centers on the word better, pointing consistently beyond earthly limitations to the superior promises of God. This perspective does not excuse mistreating the world or being careless; it simply clarifies where the believer’s anchor belongs. The danger arises when people begin to worship created things, assigning them a devotion that belongs only to the Lord. Such confusion leads to idolatry, avoidance of accountability, and rejection of truth. Scripture makes clear that humanity is responsible before God and that no excuses will stand when He brings all things into judgment. The conclusion calls believers to hold firmly to their heavenly citizenship, to honor the Creator above the creation, and to live with hope fixed on the salvation that will be revealed when the Lord Jesus Christ returns.

  • 12-05-2025 PART 1: Courage, Connection, and the Comfort of God
    2025/12/05

    Section 1

    The conversation opens with a thoughtful observation from Sergio, who connects David’s reassurance to Abathar in 1 Samuel 22 with the way Jesus often comforted His disciples. That connection highlights how the courage of David and the faith of Abraham find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who perfectly embodies both qualities. The discussion moves toward the importance of recognizing this spiritual lineage and understanding that believers share in that heritage by faith. The encouragement to maintain a steady commitment to being in the Word reflects the idea that not every moment of study feels dramatic, yet God consistently uses it to build a foundation for future insight. Even in passages that seem less engaging, God is preparing the heart for deeper moments of revelation, weaving His truth into the believer’s life through steady exposure to Scripture.

    Section 2

    The dialogue shifts as concerns of everyday life enter the picture through Rob’s family situation, where a heartfelt moment at a wedding unintentionally led to relational strain. The lesson drawn is that people can take offense even when intentions are pure, and this can cause bitterness to grow if left unchecked. This leads into the broader matter of how hurt often arises within families, communities, and even churches. The reference to Eli’s sons opens up a reflection on how spiritual leadership can go wrong and the real damage that occurs when authority is misused. Many believers have experienced pain in church settings, sometimes so deeply that it affects their relationship with God. Yet the reminder is clear: while people may misrepresent the Lord, God Himself does not behave as those individuals did, and believers must avoid attributing human failure to the character of God.

    Section 3

    From there, the emphasis moves to healing, urging those who have been wounded not to turn from God but toward Him, recognizing that separation only deepens the hurt. Unlike abusive or misguided leaders, God corrects out of love, works for growth, and treats His children with compassion. Throughout this discussion runs the theme of spiritual family—how faith unites Abraham’s conviction, David’s courage, Jesus’ perfection, and today’s believers into one continued story. The reassurance is that God welcomes honesty, struggle, and lament, and He draws close when His people seek Him. The pathway to restoration begins not with running from pain but by stepping into God’s presence, where comfort and renewal are found.

  • 12-04-2025 PART 3: Chosen on Purpose How God Uses Imperfect People for His Perfect Plan
    2025/12/04

    Section 1

    This passage from 1 Corinthians 1 draws us back to Paul’s reminder that when God called us, very few of us were in a place of influence, strength, or nobility. The Lord did not wait for us to become impressive before extending His grace. Instead, He chose us in the midst of our weakness, confusion, and inadequacy. Scripture emphasizes that God intentionally selects the foolish, the weak, the lowly, and the despised so His transforming power can be unmistakable. The testimony shared here parallels this truth perfectly: once caught in a destructive lifestyle, and far from being a figure of moral influence, the change that took place was so profound that friends later remarked, “You are a completely different person.” That is what it means to be born again. The rebirth is not theoretical—it manifests through a changed life, a renewed mind, and a new identity shaped by Jesus Christ.

    Section 2

    Paul’s message is not that no one was wise, strong, or noble, but that not many were. This distinction highlights God’s purposeful approach. Instead of depending on worldly qualifications, He delights in transforming lives that appear least likely to succeed by human standards. Many of us can testify that we were far from “ideal vessels” when God intervened. Yet that is exactly the point. God wanted to reveal that genuine spiritual change comes only through His initiative, not our merit. Even the discussions about free will and predestination rest on this reality: nothing begins without God’s breath into the dust. Before human decision, before human capability, there was God’s creative and sustaining action. That truth eliminates boasting. No believer can take credit for originating the work of salvation. What we choose afterward matters deeply, but everything begins because God moved first.

    Section 3

    This understanding of humility and divine initiation leads directly into the heart of Christian life. Servanthood becomes the model for greatness because Jesus Himself taught that true leadership is grounded in service. Modern voices like John Maxwell echo this, but the foundation comes from the teachings of Jesus. Walking humbly before the Lord keeps our priorities aligned and reminds us that God sees through every performance we attempt to offer others. He desires sincerity, honesty, and a heart willing to acknowledge dependence on Him. The closing reflection on the law reinforces this same truth. The law served as a tutor, guiding us to recognize our inability to achieve righteousness on our own. It prepared humanity to receive the righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ by faith. Everything—our calling, our transformation, our leadership, and our justification—flows from His grace.

  • 12-04-2025 PART 2: Called by Grace: How God Uses the Least Likely
    2025/12/04

    Section 1

    In this passage from 1 Corinthians 1, Paul reminds believers to reflect on the time of their calling, noting that not many were wise, powerful, or of noble birth. This truth resonates deeply when we stop reading mechanically and begin reading with a listening heart. Paul is emphasizing that God delights in working through those whom the world overlooks. The story shared here fits perfectly: four Jewish boys from Detroit, all saved within thirty days of one another, all coming from the same neighborhood, and none of them fitting the world’s definition of “ideal candidates.” Yet God called them, shaped them, and sent them back into circles where no traditional evangelist could go. This illustrates the profound wisdom of God, who chooses vessels not for their pedigree but for His purpose. When we realize how unqualified many of us were at the moment God called us, the Scripture becomes even more personal and powerful.

    Section 2

    This teaching dismantles the idea that influence comes from earthly credentialing. The narrative of coming out of drug use and being considered a bad influence by peers reveals how radically God transforms a life from the inside out. Once changed, that same life becomes an instrument of testimony to people who would never listen to anyone else. Paul emphasizes three times that “not many” were wise, powerful, or noble—not none, but not many. This distinction is essential, because it underscores that God deliberately chooses the foolish, weak, lowly, and despised things of the world. The testimony here echoes Paul’s message. God reshapes brokenness into usefulness, turning what once seemed wasted into something purposeful and influential for His kingdom. When people hear the gospel from someone who lived their struggles, their hearts open in ways they wouldn’t otherwise.

    Section 3

    The passage also highlights why God works this way: so no one may boast before Him. Every conversion, every healing, every transformation is rooted in God’s grace and not human ability. The spontaneous call from Rosalyn becomes a living example of this principle. Her gratitude, her healing, her restored strength, and her desire to offer her tap dance as worship all testify to God’s mercy. Her journey reflects endurance, renewal, and a heart that continues pointing to Jesus even in hardship. Her testimony, like the message Paul teaches, reminds us that God’s grace reaches into the lowest places and brings forth praise, perseverance, and joy. When lives are changed so deeply, it becomes clear that only God could have orchestrated it.

  • 12-04-2025 PART 1: The Redeemed Before the Throne: Worship, Mystery, and the Miracle of the Lamb’s Blood
    2025/12/04

    Section 1

    In this powerful scene from Revelation 7, the angels, elders, and living creatures fall before the throne and worship God with overwhelming adoration. Their praise reflects the continual worship taking place in Heaven, a worship we join whenever we gather before the Lord. As the passage progresses, one of the elders poses a question to John about those robed in white, and John humbly responds that the elder already knows the answer. This simple exchange highlights how even the apostle John did not possess every answer, reminding us that following God does not demand perfect knowledge, only honest humility. When the elder explains that these are the ones who came out of the Great Tribulation and washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb, the text opens the door to multiple eschatological interpretations. Some see this group as pre-tribulation believers, others mid-tribulation, others post-tribulation, and still others as a symbolic representation of believers throughout history. Each viewpoint offers something meaningful, and none diminishes the glory of what God is revealing.

    Section 2

    Every perspective carries value when approached with humility rather than division. Those who anticipate a pre-tribulation deliverance emphasize an immediate and expectant hope in Jesus’ return. Those who lean toward a mid-tribulation understanding point to God’s sustaining grace through difficulty, affirming that believers endure trials yet remain under His protection. Post-tribulation thinkers highlight God’s ability to preserve His people through every storm, reinforcing that true safety comes from the Lord Himself. Others view the passage symbolically, seeing the white-robed multitude as a sweeping portrait of all believers who have endured the challenges of life and remained faithful. When these interpretations are held graciously, each one reinforces a beautiful truth about the character of God and the endurance of His people. Scripture does not demand that we force certainty where God has allowed mystery. Instead, the passage invites worship, gratitude, and awe at what God has done and will do for His children.

    Section 3

    The most astonishing detail is the one often read too quickly: their robes were made white by the blood of the Lamb. In earthly terms, red does not make anything white. Yet here, the blood of Jesus transforms what it touches into purity. This miracle of grace is the true centerpiece of the passage. These redeemed ones stand before God’s throne, serving Him day and night, and He Himself dwells among them. Whatever your eschatological position, this is the true goal of every believer—to be with God, in His presence, forever. The debate about timing becomes secondary to the overwhelming joy of redemption, transformation, and eternal fellowship with the Lord. This is the blessed hope: the glory of God and our everlasting participation in it.

  • 12-03-2025 PART 3: Dreams That Guide, Lessons That Settle, and a God Who Goes Before You
    2025/12/03

    Section 1

    The segment opens with lively banter, humor, and a trivia question that keeps listeners engaged. Dr. Dave weaves together interactivity, fellowship, and lighthearted fun while reminding the audience of the ministry’s needs and encouraging cheerful giving. After moving through trivia, communication reminders, and gratitude for listener support, he returns to the theme of dreams. He stresses once again that dreams never hold the same authority as Scripture, yet God can use them for guidance, wisdom, encouragement, and even correction. He notes that across 47 years of walking with the Lord, he has experienced only a handful of dreams that he is convinced were from God, underscoring that such moments are rare and not dependent on personal effort or spiritual performance. What matters most is that dreams must always align with the Word of God and be held with humility.

    Section 2

    Dr. Dave then shares one of the most impactful dream-related experiences of his life—one that directly influenced his ongoing ministry. Years before a painful spiritual crisis, he had a vivid dream of driving down a snowy road with a church on the left. He didn’t understand it at the time and soon forgot about it. After escaping a harmful church situation and struggling with confusion, frustration, and deep disappointment, he found himself driving down a mountain road in Colorado. Suddenly the Holy Spirit’s presence filled the car, and he recognized the road from that old dream. Moments later, he reached the exact church he had seen years earlier. That recognition softened his heart and opened him to receive ministry from Pastor David Hunsworth, who compassionately expressed God’s love, leading Dr. Dave to finally break and heal. He emphasizes that without that dream, he may not have remained in ministry, because the dream showed him God was ahead of him, preparing his steps long before he knew he needed help.

    Section 3

    The teaching closes by reinforcing that God communicates in many ways—not just through dreams, but through Scripture, prayer, creation, circumstances, and answered prayer. Every communication from God is a miracle and an expression of His love for His people. Dr. Dave reminds listeners that while dreams can be prophetic, comforting, or instructive, many dreams are simply the mind working through clutter and require no spiritual analysis. The key is discernment, humility, and grounding every experience in the Word of God. He encourages believers to recognize God’s faithfulness even when His methods or timing differ from expectations. Whether through dreams, direction, delays, or unexpected blessings, God's communication serves one purpose: to draw His children closer, strengthen their trust, and remind them that He is always present, always working, and always leading them forward in love.

  • 12-03-2025 PART 2: Dreams, Messages, and the Mystery of God’s Communication
    2025/12/03

    Section 1

    The hour opens with a lively and humorous introduction, emphasizing the unpredictable and joyful nature of the Christian walk. Dr. Dave immediately shifts into a message that diverges from his usual theological deep dives. Instead, he focuses on a topic that many believers wrestle with—dreams. Not the metaphorical kind linked to ambition, but the literal dreams that happen during sleep, along with visions that God has historically given His people. He notes that Scripture repeatedly shows God speaking through dreams, citing figures such as Joseph, Daniel, Jacob, Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, and Joseph the earthly father of Jesus. He clearly distinguishes these from wishful thinking, reminding listeners that while dreams can be spiritually significant, they never supersede the authority of Scripture.

    Section 2

    Dr. Dave expands on why God may choose dreams as a means of communication. He explains that imagery often reaches deeper parts of the heart and mind than waking logic can. When awake, people analyze, argue, and resist, but while asleep, those defenses lower, making room for God to reveal something profound. He emphasizes that dreams can bypass rational barriers and reach areas that need correction, encouragement, or direction. He also acknowledges that not every dream is divine—some dreams are simply the mind processing excess thoughts, stress, or even late-night food choices. Yet the biblical record, along with passages like Job 33, shows that God does sometimes speak through dreams to warn, guide, or protect His people. With this foundation laid, he transitions back into the familiar rhythms of the show—calls, texts, praise reports, prayer requests, humor, and trivia—maintaining the blend of fellowship and instruction that marks the program.

    Section 3

    The message returns to Scripture with Daniel 7, highlighting how Daniel documented the substance of his dream much like a parable—focusing on the central message rather than every small detail. Dr. Dave stresses that God still uses dreams today, not as a replacement for the Bible but as a personal method of guidance when He chooses. He shares a deeply personal story from his early Christian life when God used a dream to reassure him of his salvation at a time when he desperately needed clarity. That experience marked him and helped solidify his journey forward. He then reflects on how God uses difficult seasons, even harmful environments, to shape His people—sharing a powerful insight from Gene Edwards that God let David sit under Saul so He could “beat the Saul out of David.” This ties the entire message together: God communicates, shapes, guides, and transforms His people through many means, including dreams, discipline, Scripture, and lived experience, all because of His love and commitment to their growth.
