  • 10-24-2025 PART 3: Believing Him
    Oct 24 2025

    Section 1

    The story opens with a painful memory of betrayal—confidential counseling shared in trust turned into public humiliation by a pastor who exposed private struggles before the entire congregation. Yet what the enemy meant for destruction became God’s training ground. Through that injustice, a lifelong mission was born: helping wounded believers find their way back to church instead of walking away forever. It’s a vivid reminder that sin originates with people, not with God, and even in spiritual disaster, the Lord weaves purpose through the pain. The moment when a stranger in Colorado prophetically declared, “You will preach again,” became a divine confirmation that restoration was already in motion.

    Section 2

    These experiences revealed a deeper truth—God doesn’t always prevent our heartbreak; He redeems it. The author confesses that despite past revelations, he still wrestles with doubt, yet continues forward, convinced that God works all things for good. From shattered trust to healing ministry, each season reinforced the call to believe Scripture literally, not selectively. As he recalls his brother Billy’s peaceful readiness to meet Jesus, anchored in Romans 10:9–10, the lesson crystallizes: genuine faith is “set it and forget it”—once you trust God’s word, you rest in its truth. Even amid grief, that confidence transforms fear into assurance, because the focus shifts from what we lose to whom we’re going to.

    Section 3

    The reflection closes with a passionate appeal to move from believing in God to believing God. The difference, he says, defines the maturity of faith. To truly trust Him means resting, not striving; relying on His love, not merely acknowledging it. It’s the spirit of Abraham who said “okie-dokie” to promises unseen and was counted righteous for his faith. True believers are heirs of that same trust—called not to find demons behind every rock, but to see divine purpose in every circumstance. Faith that believes Him rests securely in His character, unshaken by setbacks, and proclaims with quiet conviction: God has never failed us—not once.

  • 10-24-2025 PART 2: Trust Beyond the Tangle
    Oct 24 2025

    Section 1

    Sometimes when things go wrong—computers crash, the internet drops, or life seems to turn against us—our instinct is to blame the enemy. Yet as today’s reflection opens, the truth becomes clearer: not every disruption is satanic. The Lord sometimes allows complications to shape our character, not to shame it. The speaker’s open confession of frustration turns into a living example of 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “In everything give thanks.” Through a humble prayer of gratitude, he chooses trust over complaint—promising that even if the internet fails ten more times, he’ll restart ten more times and keep offering each attempt to God as an act of faith.

    Section 2

    That commitment soon turns personal. After losing his sound files, he expected a twelve-hour recovery, yet God restored everything in ninety minutes—a reminder that divine help often moves faster than despair predicts. Proverbs 3:5–6 surfaces as the anchor: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Like a master weaver, God stitches together what looks from beneath like tangled threads into a flawless design above. The reflection deepens into a self-check: there are areas of strong faith and others of weakness, but growth begins with honesty. The speaker urges listeners to stop the blame game and let trust mature where it’s hardest.

    Section 3

    A powerful family story drives the lesson home. When his daughter, caring for her severely disabled son, tearfully asked if she had done something wrong to deserve it, he explained that suffering isn’t always punishment—it’s part of a broken world still awaiting full redemption. God wasn’t judging her; He was trusting her with a mission of compassion. Over time she came to see her hardship as holy stewardship, advocating for other parents through the very pain that once crushed her. The closing insight is timeless: the threads beneath life’s tapestry often look chaotic, but above them God is crafting meaning. Our role is not to untangle every knot but to trust the Weaver.

  • 10-24-2025 PART 1: When the Internet Flickers, Faith Stays On
    Oct 24 2025

    Section 1

    A sudden studio internet outage cut the video feed mid-show, leaving only the app’s audio trickling through while platforms like YouTube and Facebook struggled to reconnect. In real time you reassured listeners, asked for quick “can you hear me?” texts, trimmed Instagram from the lineup, and kept pressing forward—“we’re not quitting.” The moment turned into a live object lesson: sometimes tech simply fails in a fallen world. Rather than chasing blame, the wiser move is to ask God for help, reset the stream at break, and keep serving the audience with whatever channel still works.

    Section 2

    After yesterday’s show, every Jingle Palette sound vanished because two linked computers and a new external drive caused an accidental mass delete—no demon required. That sparked an honest reflection: yes, there’s a real enemy, but not every mishap is spiritual warfare; sometimes it’s old batteries, full drives, or human oversight. You anchored your response in 1 Thessalonians 5:18—giving thanks in everything—sharing even gratitude for Billy’s homegoing because God took him at a renewed, vibrant point in his faith. The takeaway: practice gratitude first, then troubleshoot; God coordinates beyond our view, and He works events for good even when frustrations pile up.

    Section 3

    Arriving prepped with outlines, you discovered one Friday lesson missing—then noticed your Bible was already open to Joseph (Genesis 37). That “coincidence” became the day’s message: Joseph’s humiliations—stripped, tossed into a pit, sold, later falsely accused and imprisoned—were painful, but permitted by God for a redemptive purpose no one yet saw. It’s misleading to credit every hardship to Satan; Scripture shows God sovereignly weaving setbacks into deliverance. Like Joseph, we’re often not smiling in the pit, yet purpose is in motion. So, whether it’s network drops or deleted soundboards, keep faith steady, do the next right thing, and trust the God who turns pits into platforms.

  • 10-23-2025 PART 3: Sustained by the Savior Spiritual Gifts and Lasting Strength
    Oct 23 2025

    Section 1

    Paul continues in 1 Corinthians 1:7, emphasizing that believers “do not lack any spiritual gift as [they] eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.” This isn’t referring to the Book of Revelation, but to the second coming—the unveiling of Christ Himself. Christians are called to eagerly await that day, desiring His return with passion rather than treating it as a distant concept. Paul corrects the idea that spiritual gifts ceased after the early church. Scripture reveals that gifts remain active until Christ returns, serving the body and glorifying the Lord. These aren’t trophies of spirituality or toys for self-display—they are tools for ministry. The Lord gives the right “tool” at the right time, equipping believers for whatever task or challenge they face.

    Section 2

    Paul reminds the Corinthians that in Jesus, they are not lacking. Everything needed for spiritual growth, wisdom, or endurance already dwells in them through Christ. Colossians teaches that in Him, “the fullness of the Godhead” dwells bodily. This means believers have access to every divine resource but may not always open themselves to it. Growth in faith is not about receiving something new but becoming more receptive to what God has already placed within us. Like a toolbox waiting to be used, spiritual gifts are available when we partner with God’s purposes. Whether it’s wisdom, courage, or faith, the Lord supplies what is needed in each moment, proving again that He is both provider and sustainer.

    Section 3

    Paul concludes with a profound promise: “He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The same Savior who saves also strengthens. Just as we rely on Him for forgiveness, we must also depend on Him for endurance. God provides divine energy—spiritual “fuel”—to carry us through hardship and renew our strength. No vitamin, coffee, or worldly fix can match the sustaining power of Jesus Christ. He never quits, never abandons, and never tires of lifting His children when they fall. Even in weakness or weariness, He renews hearts with hope and songs of praise. The message is simple and timeless: Jesus is enough—yesterday, today, and forever.

  • 10-23-2025 PART 2: Enriched in Every Way: Grace and Growth in Christ
    Oct 23 2025

    Section 1

    In 1 Corinthians chapter one, Paul begins with thanksgiving, declaring, “I always thank God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.” This statement recognizes both salvation grace and situational grace—the continual expressions of God’s kindness throughout life. Salvation grace establishes our eternal standing in Christ, while situational grace appears in our daily victories and divine interventions. When we hear of another believer’s blessing, Paul teaches us to rejoice instead of envy. Every triumph of a brother or sister is a victory for the kingdom of God. Gratitude becomes a spiritual habit when we see grace operating not just in ourselves but also in the lives of others, confirming that God’s mercy is ongoing and active.

    Section 2

    Paul continues, “For in Him you have been enriched in every way—in all speech and all knowledge.” This truth transforms how believers view their lives. Being “enriched” in Christ doesn’t merely mean material blessing or prosperity but an abundance of understanding and purpose. It means recognizing that every part of life—speech, thought, and perspective—is now shaped by relationship with Jesus. Even the smallest conversation can reflect the Savior’s influence. Our words reveal our hearts, and as Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” In every dialogue, testimony, or thought, believers are invited to let their speech echo their connection to Christ, not through forced religiosity, but through natural, joyful honesty about His goodness.

    Section 3

    Finally, Paul reminds the Corinthians that “our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.” Their transformation validated the gospel’s truth. Just as the first believers testified of Christ’s power, each new generation bears witness that His promises still stand. The proof of the gospel is not found in arguments but in changed lives—people who once were lost but now live enriched in grace, speech, and understanding. Paul concludes by hinting at what follows: “Therefore, you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.” This builds the foundation for confidence and anticipation. God has already given His people everything needed for growth, endurance, and expectation until the day Jesus is revealed in full glory.

  • 10-23-2025 PART 1: The Sky Rolls Like a Scroll Standing Firm at the Sixth Seal
    Oct 23 2025

    Section 1

    The passage opens with the sixth seal and a shockwave of cosmic upheaval: a global earthquake, a sun blackened like sackcloth, a blood-red moon, stars falling, and the sky itself “rolling up like a scroll.” The emphasis isn’t on picking one end-times timeline over another, but on slowing down to hear what God is saying through these signs. However you read Revelation 6—rapture first or protection through—it all funnels to one point: Jesus opens the seals and rules every moment. Nothing catches Heaven off guard; the Lamb directs the drama, not the chaos. That truth moves from cosmos to personal life: if He governs earthquakes and heavens, He surely governs our daily storms as well.

    Section 2

    The universal shaking points to a Creator who can literally command creation—or use symbolic language to convey a catastrophic, divine verdict. Either way, the message thunders: creation is responding to its Creator. One striking reflection: a blood-red moon can serve as a testimony against humanity’s rejection of God’s Son—an image of innocent blood shed, confronting the world’s rebellion. As the sky “recedes,” there’s an intentional echo: only Jesus is worthy to open the scroll; now the heavens answer the Lamb who opened what no one else could. The scale is staggering—earth, sky, and powers reeling—yet the narrative remains Christ-centered, insisting that sound theology must route back to Jesus in charge, period.

    Section 3

    When kings, commanders, the mighty, slave and free beg rocks to hide them from “the face of Him who sits on the throne” and “the wrath of the Lamb,” the point is not escapism but accountability. “The great day” arrives; pride evaporates; excuses die. Who can stand? Only those sheltered by the mercy found in Jesus Christ. The scene is a mercy-tinged warning: time is real, the countdown finite, and the call to share the gospel is urgent—now, before chances vanish. Revelation 6 doesn’t invite fear so much as focus: fix your eyes on the Lamb who opens history’s scroll and anchors your soul. Let the cosmic picture drive a practical response—repent, trust, and stand firm in Him.

  • 10-22-2025 PART 3: Sensitive to the Spirit
    Oct 22 2025

    Section 1

    Continuing the teaching on the Holy Spirit, this message begins with 1 John 3:24 and 4:13, where John reminds believers that we know God lives in us because He has given us His Spirit. This reality is both spiritual and practical—the Spirit confirms the truth of our faith. The lesson emphasizes that Christians are not called to suppress the Spirit’s presence. First Thessalonians 5:19 warns, “Do not quench the Spirit,” and Ephesians 4:30 adds, “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit.” The two commands are distinct yet related: quenching hinders the Spirit’s flow, while grieving saddens Him. The vivid image of a clogged pipe illustrates how sin and distraction block divine movement. The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force or electrical current but a living person who feels joy and sorrow as He interacts with us.

    Section 2

    When believers grieve or quench the Spirit, their awareness of God’s presence fades—not because He departs, but because they’ve stopped listening. Like placing cotton in one’s ears during a sermon, the message still goes out, but less is heard. Ephesians 1:13 explains that believers are “sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,” a divine mark proving that we belong to God. Second Corinthians 1:22 and 5:5 reaffirm this truth: the Spirit within us is a deposit guaranteeing the eternal glory to come. These promises serve as anchors for the Christian’s assurance. Every reminder of heaven’s hope is the Spirit whispering, “This is yours.” The Bible’s living nature reflects this same Spirit’s authorship—He breathed truth into men, ensuring Scripture still speaks freshly to every generation.

    Section 3

    The message closes by stressing balance. Christians should not mistake emotionalism for spirituality, nor should they stifle the Spirit with rigid legalism. Jesus said those born of the Spirit are like the wind—moving freely under God’s unseen direction. The Holy Spirit’s work isn’t identical in every believer’s experience, but it’s always personal and purposeful. He is our counselor, intercessor, and teacher. Romans 8:16 confirms that the Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children, assuring us of belonging. Quenching or grieving the Spirit interrupts that joy and dulls spiritual clarity. Walking in step with the Spirit takes a lifetime to learn, yet it’s not optional—it’s essential. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life, and through Him, we live, breathe, and look forward to the day we dance on streets of gold.

  • 10-22-2025 PART 2: Partnering with the Spirit
    Oct 22 2025

    Section 1

    This message explores the biblical truth that believers worship and fellowship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The familiar refrain of “Holy, holy, holy” in worship is directed to the triune God, yet many become uneasy when speaking openly about the Holy Spirit. The teaching challenges this hesitation, noting how Western rationalism often limits spiritual understanding. Scripture, however, makes it unmistakably clear that the Spirit’s role is essential and active. From Ephesians 2:22, we learn that God builds His people together as a dwelling where He lives by His Spirit. The presence of the Spirit is not theoretical—it’s real in personal devotion and collective worship.

    Section 2

    The text emphasizes that Jesus now intercedes at the right hand of the Father, while the Holy Spirit continues His ministry within us on earth. Romans 8:14 reminds believers that “as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Galatians 5:25 reinforces this truth by calling us to “keep in step with the Spirit,” portraying the Christian life as an ongoing walk under divine guidance. This is not mystical excess—it is the normal rhythm of faith. Through the Spirit, we are empowered to understand Scripture, to pray, and to live in holiness. The Spirit’s guidance is the heartbeat of authentic discipleship, the same power that carried along the writers of Scripture and now carries each believer.

    Section 3

    The conclusion calls for confidence and joy in fellowshipping with the Spirit. Second Corinthians 13:14 brings it all together: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” This partnership is not strange or suspect—it is central to the Christian life. Job 33:4 adds depth, revealing that the very breath of God gives life and sustains both creation and Scripture. God’s Spirit breathed life into humanity and continues to breathe life into His Word and His people. To deny the Spirit’s work would be to deny the fullness of Scripture itself. True partnership with God means walking daily with His Spirit—alive, led, and sustained by His holy breath.
