The Old Covenant was All or Nothing
The Old Covenant required complete obedience—God's people were called to follow every command without deviation, and blessing was tied to total faithfulness. Scripture shows that even breaking one part of the law meant being guilty of all of it, revealing how strict and all-encompassing the covenant was. This highlights the contrast with the New Covenant, where righteousness is not achieved by perfectly keeping the law, but through accepting Jesus, who enables believers to live in alignment with God rather than striving to earn it through flawless obedience. __________ Malachi 4:4 NLT, Joshua 1:7–8 NLT, James 2:8–11 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
He Came as Lamb. He Returns as Lion.
The contrast between the two comings of Jesus explains why many failed to recognize Him. The first coming was marked by humility, sacrifice, and subtlety—He came not with outward power or attraction, but in a quiet, easily overlooked way that required faith to truly see and believe. His mission was centered on forgiveness and redemption, like a lamb offered for sacrifice. In contrast, the second coming is portrayed as unmistakable and powerful—open, loud, and centered on judgment. This time He comes not in weakness, but in authority, like a lion, making His identity undeniable. __________ Malachi 4:1–3 NLT, Isaiah 53:2–12 NLT, Isaiah 13:9–10 NLT, Revelation 5:5–6 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
How close are you to your dream
Let's have some real talk. The entrepreneurial calling God has placed in your heart will likely take time to come to fruition, which means you may be tempted to quit because it feels like it's taking too long. You might even feel like God has forgotten about you, but rest assured, He hasn't. Everyone's dreams take time to manifest, and there are no magic pills or secret techniques to speed up the process. The key skills you need are simply trusting in God and having patience. Each day brings you closer, and after persistence and faithfulness, you will find yourself just one day away from seeing your dream come to life. __________ Genesis 37:7, 9 KJV, Genesis 37:22 KJV, Genesis 39:2, 4 KJV, Genesis 39:20 KJV, Genesis 39:21–22 KJV, Genesis 41:40 KJV, Genesis 42:6 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
God desires for you to live in total abundance
God desires for you to live in total abundance, with nothing missing and nothing broken. Whatever you need or desire, God is big enough to take care of it—and He wants to take care of it. You might think your reality doesn't match this concept. Here's the thing: just because your current reality isn't abundant doesn't change God's desire for you to live in abundance. Listen to this message to increase your faith and walk in the total abundance God desires for you. __________ John 10:10 KJV, Psalm 37:4 KJV, Matthew 7:11 KJV, Psalm 35:27 KJV, Matthew 6:33 KJV, Genesis 1:29 KJV, Genesis 2:8, 18 KJV, Proverbs 23:7 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
Trust God to Prosper Through Your Calling
Many entrepreneurs hesitate to believe God intends for them to prosper through their calling. However, Scripture shows that those who labor have a right to partake in the fruit of their work. In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul explains that just as soldiers are supported and farmers eat from their crops, those whom God has called into entrepreneurship will have their lives provided for through the success of that calling. Just as the Levitical priests lived from the temple offerings by God's design, it is likewise ordained that those who serve in their calling should be supported through it. Rather than being stretched across many pursuits to survive, God's desire is for focused, faith-driven work, trusting that if He called you to it, He also intends for you to prosper through it. __________ 1 Corinthians 9:1-14 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

Go forward and don't hold back
Yes, wait on God for direction when you are unsure about your path. However, if God has given you direction, go forward and don't hold back on your calling. Too many believers are tiptoeing down the road of their calling because they are afraid of making a mistake, or fearful they are being greedy. This timidness hinders or slows down success and reduces the magnitude of success. __________ Exodus 14:13–16 KJV, Joshua 3:14–17 NLT, Joshua 5:1 KJV, Joshua 6:20–21 NLT, Joshua 18:1–3 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

The Next 50 Days
In the days following the resurrection, Jesus steadily built the faith of His followers through personal encounters and undeniable evidence of His life. From meeting Thomas and calling him to believe, to appearing to over 500 people and revealing truths about God's Kingdom, Jesus strengthened their confidence and understanding. His ascension reminded them that His mission was not over, but would continue with a promised return. Then, fifty days after the resurrection, the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost empowered believers with boldness and ability, marking the beginning of the Church era. __________ John 20:26–29 NLT, Acts 1:3 NLT, 1 Corinthians 15:6 NLT, Acts 1:9–11 NLT, Acts 2:1–4 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
Resurrection Sunday
The timeline of events shows that everything unfolded early on Sunday morning, just after sunrise, when the women went to the tomb expecting to complete burial preparations. Before they arrived, God had already acted—the stone was rolled away, not to let Jesus out, but to reveal that He had risen. The women discovered the empty tomb, heard the angels' message, and began spreading the news, though at first it was met with confusion and disbelief. Throughout that same day, Jesus appeared multiple times—to Mary Magdalene, to other women, to Peter, to two disciples on the road, and later to the apostles—gradually turning doubt into faith. This sequence emphasizes that the resurrection was not a single moment witnessed by all at once, but a series of encounters throughout the day that confirmed, step by step, that Jesus was truly alive. __________ Matthew 28:2–4 NLT, Mark 16:2–4 NLT, Luke 24:3 NLT, John 20:2–3 NLT, Mark 16:5 NLT, Matthew 28:5–6a NLT, Luke 24:6a–8 NLT, Matthew 28:6b–8a NLT, Mark 16:8a NLT, John 20:4–10 NLT, Mark 16:9 NLT, John 20:11–17 NLT, Matthew 28:9–10 NLT, Matthew 28:11–15 NLT, Luke 24:10–11 NLT, Mark 16:10–11 NLT, 1 Corinthians 15:5 NLT, Luke 24:13–34 NLT, John 20:19a NLT, Luke 24:35–49 NLT, John 20:24–25 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
Holy Saturday
After Jesus' death, the religious leaders took His prophecy of resurrection seriously and acted to prevent any deception, while His own disciples and followers failed to fully grasp or believe His words. Meanwhile, the women prepared to properly anoint His body, still expecting Him to remain dead. During the time between His death and resurrection, Jesus entered the realm of the dead, specifically the place of the righteous, where He proclaimed victory, demonstrated His authority over death, and fulfilled prophecy. Through this, He not only triumphed over spiritual powers but also secured authority over death and the grave, ultimately making a way for the righteous to be brought into the presence of God rather than the place of the dead. __________ Matthew 27:62–66 NLT, Mark 16:1 NLT, John 20:16–17 NLT, Psalm 16:10 KJV, Acts 2:31 KJV, Acts 2:29–32 NIV, Luke 16:22–23 KJV, Luke 16:22–26 NLT, Luke 23:40–43 NLT, 1 Peter 3:18–20 NLT, 2 Peter 2:4 NIV, Jude 1:6 NIV, Genesis 6:1–4 ESV, Genesis 6:4 KJV, Jude 1:14–15 NIV, Revelation 1:18 NLT, Ephesians 4:8–10 NLT, 2 Corinthians 5:6–8 NLT, Acts 7:55–56,59 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
Good Friday
On Good Friday, Jesus was brought before Pontius Pilate early in the morning, declared innocent, yet condemned to death after the crowd chose Barabbas over Him; He was mocked, beaten, and led to crucifixion at Golgotha, where He was nailed to the cross around 9 AM, prayed for forgiveness for His executioners, endured mocking, and showed compassion by promising salvation to a repentant criminal and entrusting His mother to His disciple John. From noon to 3 PM, darkness covered the land as Jesus bore the weight of sin, cried out to the Father, and ultimately declared "It is finished" before giving up His spirit. At His death, an earthquake occurred, the temple veil was torn, and even Roman soldiers recognized His innocence. His body was then taken down, confirmed dead, and placed in a tomb by Joseph of Arimathea before the Sabbath began, marking the completion of the events of that day. __________ John 18:28–37 NLT, Luke 23:6–12 NLT, Luke 23:13–19 NLT, Matthew 27:15–23 NLT, John 19:1–13 NLT, Matthew 27:24–25 NLT, John 19:13–16 NLT, Luke 23:26–29,31 NLT, John 19:17–22 NLT, Mark 15:23 NLT, Luke 23:34a NLT, John 19:19–22 NLT, John 19:23–24 NLT, Matthew 27:39–40 NLT, Mark 15:31 NLT, Luke 23:36–37,39 NLT, Luke 23:40–43 NLT, John 19:25–27 NLT, Mark 15:33 NLT, Matthew 27:46–47,49 NLT, John 19:28–29 NLT, John 19:30a NLT, Luke 23:46 NLT, John 19:30b NLT, Matthew 27:50–53 NLT, Matthew 27:54 NLT, Luke 23:47–48 NLT, John 19:31–33 NLT, John 19:34–37 NLT, Mark 15:42–47 NLT, Mark 15:46 NLT, Matthew 27:59–60 NLT, John 19:39–42 NLT, Mark 15:47 NLT, Luke 23:55–56 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
God will restore what it costs to get you back on track
When we mix God's will with our own, we are headed toward eventual failure. Unfortunately, it is very easy to taint God's will without even realizing it. However, when we do realize it, we need to get back on track, even if we've spent a lot of money going down a tainted path. Don't allow the fact that you spent money going in the wrong direction to cause you stress about changing directions, because God loves you so much that He will restore whatever you spent going down the wrong path. __________ 2 Chronicles 25:5-9 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
Spiritual alignment is the missing piece in your relationship
Many couples desire deeper connection, but disconnection is not always caused by a lack of love—it often stems from spiritual misalignment. Today's message highlights how relationships can drift when couples are not intentionally seeking God together, leading to subtle distance, miscommunication, and a lack of shared direction. It emphasizes that true unity is built through alignment with God first, which then produces agreement, strengthens intimacy, and creates lasting stability. Couples are encouraged to intentionally invite God into their relationship through prayer, decision-making, and consistent connection, recognizing that alignment is not a one-time fix but an ongoing practice that sustains unity, deepens intimacy, and strengthens the relationship over time. __________ Amos 3:3 MSG, John 10:10 NLT, Matthew 6:33 NLT, Ecclesiastes 4:12 NKJV, Matthew 18:20 AMPC __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
Who's On Your Prayer List?
In a world drowning in leadership disappointment, Paul drops a radical command in 1 Timothy 2:2: " Pray for your leaders. Don't debate them. Don't drag them. Pray for them. This message explores why intercession for leaders isn't weakness or endorsement, it's spiritual warfare with kingdom consequences. Rooted in Paul's historical context and the example of Jesus Himself, this podcast calls entrepreneurs and creatives to lead the culture by covering it in prayer first. __________ 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (ESV), Jeremiah 29:7 (NIV), Luke 23:34 (NIV), Proverbs 21:1 (ESV) __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
Remain faithful even while sinful people are prospering
Even when the people around you turn away from God, He sees and remembers those who stay faithful. God is patient and gives people time to repent, so His silence should never be mistaken for approval of evil. Because of His longsuffering, it can seem like the wicked prosper while the faithful are overlooked, but a day is coming when God will clearly separate those who truly serve Him from those who do not. Until then, outward success is not a reliable sign of God's blessing, and believers must remain faithful without letting the prosperity of sinful people cause them to lose sight of salvation. __________ Malachi 3:16–18 NLT, Exodus 34:6 NLT, 2 Peter 3:8–9 NIV, Matthew 13:28–30 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
Tithing was about restoring the mosaic covenant system
God remains faithful to His promises, especially to Israel, even when they fall away. In Malachi, the call to return through tithing was about restoring the mosaic covenant system by enabling the Levites to fulfill their role, not about tithing itself bringing blessing. For believers today, returning to God is personal—by renewing our mind through His Word and realigning with Him. Even when obedience seems unrewarded, God calls us to trust, return, and experience His faithfulness and care. __________ Malachi 3:6–15 NLT, Numbers 18:20–21 NLT, Nehemiah 13:10–12 NLT, Malachi 2:5–7 NLT, Romans 12:2 NIV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
The Day of the Lord Is Coming
John the Baptist and Jesus are both portrayed as messengers sent on assignment by God. John's role was to prepare people for Jesus, while Jesus came as the messenger of the New Covenant. Malachi's prophecy points to both of Christ's comings: His first coming in peace as the Lamb, and His second coming in judgment as the Lion. In that future judgment, He will purify His people and judge evildoers, just as Malachi and Revelation describe. Those who truly fear God show they belong to Him, and their lives will not be marked by the sinful deeds named in these warnings. __________ Malachi 3:1-5 NLT, Matthew 11:7-10 NLT, Matthew 21:12-13 NLT, Revelation 6:16-17 NLT, Revelation 21:8 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
Say no to every great idea outside of our calling
As entrepreneurs, it is very tempting to see a need and start something to fill that need. We have no shortage of money-making ideas or desires to start new ministries to fix various societal ills. However, we need to execute a lot of self-control in this area because great ideas will break our focus and cause us to fail at what God has really called us to do. It may be hard, but we need to say no to every great idea outside of our calling. __________ Luke 4:18 KJV, Matthew 4:23 KJV, Matthew 15:22–28 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
Does our behavior determine our salvation?
Salvation is not earned by our good works or right behavior but is a gift from God received through faith in Jesus Christ. While behavior does not determine salvation, genuine salvation produces transformation, freeing us from the power of sin and leading us into a new life of righteousness. True believers don't use grace as an excuse to keep sinning; rather, they live in a way that reflects their new identity in Christ. Persisting in a lifestyle of sin shows a lack of a genuine relationship with God, while practicing righteousness demonstrates the evidence of being children of God. Salvation is by grace through faith, but authentic faith results in a changed life that honors God. __________ Romans 10:8–10 NIV, Ephesians 2:8–9 NIV, Titus 3:3–7 NIV, Romans 6:1–18 NLT, 1 Corinthians 6:9–20 NLT, 1 John 3:4–10 AMPC, James 2:18 NIV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
"God Said" is the only credibility you need
Our society is obsessed with credibility and credentials. If you are a chef, they want to know what culinary school you went to. If you're a business coach, they want to know what successful business you have personally made a million dollars from. If you say you are starting a ministry, people want to know what theology school you got your ministry degree from. These questions are basically trying to judge or challenge your credibility. However, the only credibility you need is simply these two words: "God said."

Can money keep you out of the kingdom
Some Christians believe that seeking and having money will keep you out of the Kingdom of God. They hold this belief, because in the Bible Jesus told a rich, young ruler to sell all he had and give it to poor, and then he could have eternal life. Based on this Bible passage, many have drawn a negative connection between having money and entering the Kingdom of God. So is this true? Well, in today's message, we examine this concept through the Word of God to make a determination. __________ Mark 10:23 KJV, Mark 10:15–17 KJV, Mark 10:19–22 KJV, Luke 19:2–6 KJV, Luke 19:8–9 KJV, Mark 10:24–25 KJV, Exodus 20:3 KJV, Matthew 6:24 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
