Feeling like you are running on empty? We dive into a powerful story from 1 Kings 17, about a widow, down to her last meal, who is invited to trust God with what little she has left. What unfolds is not just a miracle of provision, but a lesson in faith, surrender, and the surprising ways God meets us in scarcity.

You don't need full hands for God to work, just an open heart.

Whether you are new to the podcast or a returning listener, this message will meet you right where you are, especially if you have ever wondered, "Do I really have enough to make it through?"

Join us as we discover how God turns surrender into supply--and how He can take what feels small and make it more than enough.

We all hit seasons where life feels like it is drying up emotionally, spiritually, or practically. Sometimes long before we understand why. In this opening message of our "Empty Jars" series, we step into Elijah's story before the mountaintop victory, before the miracle, before the fire... to the quiet and hidden place where God teaches him to trust.

This is a message for anyone walking through uncertainty, waiting for answers, or carrying a weight they cannot fully explain. Elijah did not pray for the ravens; he simply discovered a provision God had already set in motion. The same God who worked ahead for him is already working ahead for you.

If you have ever wondered where God is in the dry seasons... if you have ever felt empty long before you felt hopeful... this episode will remind you that heaven has already moved on your behalf, even if you cannot see it yet.

Because when life feels empty... the ravens are already flying.

Grief is one of the few things every person will experience. But for many of us, it comes with unanswered questions: Where are our loved ones now? Are they safe? Will we ever see them again?

In this message, we walk through 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, a passage often used to scare people about the end times, but originally written as a word of comfort to a grieving church.

This sermon explores why the return of Jesus is not a threat to dread, but a hope to hold. A promise that death is not the end of the story and that love will one day be restored in the presence of Christ.

Whether you are walking through loss right now or simply need a reminder that God is not finished with your story, this message will help you breathe again, believe again, and rest in the hope of the resurrection.

When King Rehoboam secured his throne, pride quickly followed--and it cost him everything. But when the nation finally bowed low before God, mercy moved, and wrath turned to grace.

This message from 2 Chronicles 12:1-12 explores how pride can quietly pull us away from God, how humility opens the door to restoration, and why the way up in God's kingdom is always down.

If you have ever tried to stand tall through your own strength and found yourself worn out instead, this message is for you. Discover the hope that comes when we stop fighting, stop pretending, and let God lift us up.

What matters more--what we say, or what we actually do? In this final message of the "I Am Called" series, we turn to a parable from Jesus that confronts the gap between words and obedience. If you have ever struggled with stalled-out faith, questioned your calling, or wondered if God can still use you after a "no", this episode is for you.

Discover how the Great I AM calls us not just to speak--but to live--in obedience.

What happens when people question your calling? Or when you start questioning it yourself? We turn to Numbers 17 and the story of Aaron's staff that blossomed overnight. This passage reminds us that it's not up to us to prove ourselves or manufacture fruit. God Himself affirms His call and makes life flourish where we cannot.

If you have ever felt overlooked, doubted, or weary from striving, this sermon offers assurance and hope: you don't have to make your staff blossom. God does.

Life pulls us in a hundred different directions, and our culture tells us our worth is found in what we produce. But in Luke 10:38-42, Jesus shows us a better way. Before we ever do anything for Him, we are called first to be with Him. In this kickoff message from our new series "I Am Called", discover why presence matters more than performance--and how dwelling with Jesus shapes our identity, assurance, and mission.

In Mark 5:25-34, we meet a woman who had suffered in silence for twelve years. Full of fear and trembling, she reached for Jesus--unsure of what He would say. Instead of rejection, she found restoration. In this message, we explore how even hesitant, shame-filled faith can connect us to the healing power of Christ. If you've ever wondered how Jesus responds to our hidden struggles, this is a story you need to hear.
