In Matthew 27, the crowd stood at the cross and gambled with the very gift of redemption. This message exposes how people were reckless with Christ, consumed with outward things, and careless with the righteousness Jesus offers. From Genesis to Jeremiah, Scripture warns us not to risk what matters most. God still sets before us “the way of life and the way of death”—and calls us to choose wisely. Support the show

God calls us to be faithful in the everyday, to plow our field even when no one is watching. We all want to do big things for Him, but it starts with being faithful in the small things. Following God requires action from us. It is not enough to believe; we must move. Each day we choose to chase after Him with no backup plan and no turning back. Our mission is not finished until God says it is finished, so we keep plowing, keep burning, and keep chasing after all He has called us to do. Suppor...

Today, we’re looking at one of the most powerful displays of faith and divine presence in Scripture — the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel chapter 3.

The book of Acts doesn’t end with “The End”—it closes with an open invitation.

In Acts 24–25, Paul faces constant trials, false accusations, and long seasons of waiting, yet he remains fearless. Instead of being ruled by fear, Paul places his confidence in God — trusting that the Lord is in control, that His truth will prevail, and that His promises never fail. This message reminds us that fearless faith doesn’t come from avoiding trials but from standing firm in the middle of them, knowing that God’s presence, His Word, and His timing are always enough.

In Acts 21, Paul shows us what it means to face the storm with faith. Even though he knew pain and prison were ahead, he was determined to follow Jesus no matter the cost. His story challenges us to examine our own lives—what we’re stubbornly holding onto, how we view eternity, where we’ve grown too legalistic, who we need to submit to, and how we respond when following Jesus gets hard. Paul’s example reminds us that storms don’t have to shake our faith; they can strengthen our commitment to ...

When the gospel transforms hearts, it also shakes up culture. In Acts 19:21–41, we see how Paul’s Spirit-led vision and bold preaching of Jesus led to both revival and riot in the city of Ephesus. As people turned from idols to the living God, resistance exploded — but so did God's protection and purpose. In this message, we explore how God's vision moves us forward, but also how we need to be ready to handle friction after times of fruitful ministry. Be challenged to live a faith that transf...

In Acts 19, we witness a powerful move of God that shakes an entire city — not through flashy methods, but through surrendered hearts. In this message, “When Jesus Becomes Real,” we’ll discover how God’s power works through those who are willing, why borrowed faith falls short, and how real faith always leads to real surrender.

Baptism is more than a symbol—it’s a step of obedience. And receiving the Holy Spirit isn’t just a theological idea—it’s essential for living with power and being a bold witness for...
