As a now regular contributor to this podcast and the congregation of Multiply, Nate Hughes shares a message on the importance of spiritual practices in preparing us for when we need to improvise in our faith. Sharing bits and pieces of his own story, Nate encourages and inspires us to choose faith even in our darkest times.

Our fellow Multiplier David Durham drops an incredibly packed message full of inspiration, truth, and practical perspectives on how we can both trust the Lord and allow ourselves to be fully led by Holy Spirit in every aspect of life.

In sharing about his recent trip to South Africa, Pastor Casey flips the script in this Fathers Day message and focuses on what it looks like to be a good son of God.

Every group of organized individuals has a question they need answered, which is "Where are we going?" The answer should probably be a version of the same destination for every congregation following Christ This is also the same destination to which Jesus led his disciples. How we get there and who comes along may look a little different and Pastor Stephen provides an answer to this question, especially in light of our recent Spring Retreat!

Do you ever feel inadequate in this work of making disciples? Can you not see yourself living out the stories you hear others tell? Pastor Stephen examines two passages from the gospel of Matthew to help us better understand what our role is in this disciple making effort and what is only left up to another.

Pastor Casey looks at some of the key passages in Scripture regarding faith in this encouraging and challenging messaging on what it looks like to be a part of a discipleship movement. Here's the spoiler...everyone wins!

As we come to our final Action on the initial go-round of the Multiply Church Discipleship Pathway, we turn outward to how we as transformed and equipped disciples of Jesus now live life on mission to make an impact in the lives of others. Pastor Stephen looks at a familiar Psalm and two passages from the gospel of Matthew that he finds compelling to the cause.

As we come to the home stretch of the Multiply Church Discipleship Pathway, Pastor Casey makes the case for why and how the resurrection is vital to our transformation and maturation. There is also a bonus teaching and testimony from another Multiplier at the end of the message!

You are being formed daily. We all are. The question is whether or not we are being intentional to choose what is forming us or leaving it to chance. Daily practices are a vital aspect to being made into the likeness of Christ. Pastor Stephen looks a 15 passages of Scripture to see how Jesus himself was formed and how we can emulate our Lord and Savior to do the same.

As only he can, Pastor Casey takes a macro view of what's really possible through the Multiply Church Discipleship Pathway as we begin to look at Action 9. With passages from both Ephesians and Exodus - among others - Pastor Casey lays out the potential of what God can do for, in, and through us all. Is this an extended message or a condensed series? You decide! Either way, it's gold!

We spend a lot of time trying to make things right. The bad news is that there is nothing we can do to make things rights. There is, however, some good news as well that far outweighs the bad. In this message, Pastor Stephen presents a helpful perspective on how forgiveness plays a role in seeking reconciliation, rather than wasting time seeking rightness.

Is it really sufficient to simply declare a belief in Jesus...or is something more required? Depending the defined result you are after and personal rearing, different people will have different answers. However, when it comes to pursuing the good life through obedience to Jesus, there is a kind of secondary belief that might be helpful in leading us to practice the ways of Jesus.

Are you called to ministry? There are certain ways you may answer or think about this question depending on your particular context. However, as you hear Pastor Stephen walk through the ways in which we get to participate in the mission and carry the message of God, you may think of this question differently.

Pastor Casey walks us through the ways in which Action 7 of the Multiply Church Discipleship Pathway is the beginning of a turn from an inward focus to an outward expression. The implications of the good news that the Kingdom of God is near are very evident in this challenging and encouraging message based on Romans 12:9-19.

Why is saying sorry so hard for so many of us? Maybe it is as simple as a new perspective and change of mind that can lead us to seeking reconciliation in our relationships. Pastor Stephen looks at a well known instruction from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount as the basis for Action 7 of the Multiply Church Discipleship Pathway. How might putting this principle into practice lead to your freedom?

What is God's desire for God's people? The answer we find in Scripture is simple to state but difficult to live. In this 100th episode of the Multiply Church Sermons Podcast, Pastor Stephen takes a journey through passages in Leviticus and Paul's letter to the church in Rome to discover the answer.

On a subject we could spend eternity considering and researching yet never fully grasp, Pastor Casey presents a perspective that helps frame how it is we accept the righteousness of Christ as our own in this inspiring message.

Are you perfect? Have you tried to be? It's pretty difficult and some may say impossible. Looking at two different teachings from Jesus, Pastor Stephen shows us how to be perfect as we accept his righteousness as our own!

Pastor Stephen continues to look at the motivation for and benefits of making confession a regular practice as a Jesus follower while also laying out a simple step by step method for confession. It is also important we remain as concerned with those who have yet to know the hope of Christ as those of us who do!

If the discipline of confession is such a transformational practice, what is it that might keep us from engaging in it? Pastor Stephen looks at three forces that oppose our confession and how we we can be encouraged to overcome them.
