Ep 790Seeing the Resurrected Savior | Brandon Lindell
Do I know Jesus or just know about Him? In this message from Pastor Brandon Lindell, we see how the resurrection of Jesus confronts empty religion and invites us into a real, life-changing relationship with the risen Savior. Our prayer is that this message would awaken your faith, help you truly see Jesus, and lead you into the new life only He can give.
Ep 789The Theology of a Thief | David Lindell
Can Jesus forgive me no matter what I’ve done? In this message from Pastor David Lindell, we look at the thief on the cross and the powerful truth that even in his final moments, he recognized God’s holiness, confessed his sin, saw Jesus as King, and found saving grace. Our prayer is that this message would help you see that no one is too far gone for the mercy of Jesus and that you would place your trust in the One who still saves completely.
Ep 788Why Am I at War? | Brandon Lindell
Why does life feel so hard? In this message from Pastor Brandon Lindell, we see from James 4:1–6 that the battles around us often reveal a deeper war within us, rooted in selfish desires and friendship with the world. Our prayer is that as God exposes what is causing conflict, you would respond with humility, repentance, and receive the greater grace He gives to those who come back to Him.
Ep 787Wisdom From Heaven or Hell | John Lindell
What kind of wisdom is shaping your life? In this message from Pastor John Lindell, we see from James 3:13–18 that true wisdom is shown by a life marked by humility, while earthly wisdom is driven by envy, selfish ambition, and disorder. Our prayer is that you would seek the wisdom that comes from heaven and live a life marked by purity, peace, mercy, and righteousness.
Ep 786The Wonderful Results Of Powerful Prayer | John Lindell
What happens when you refuse to stop praying until God answers? In this message from Pastor John Lindell, we see from 1 Kings 18 that powerful prayer hears what others cannot, walks in humility, keeps believing, and positions us to see God do the impossible. Our prayer is that you would grow in confidence to pray according to God’s will and keep seeking Him until you see the wonderful results of powerful prayer.
Ep 785What You Say Is What You Get | John Lindell
What do your words reveal about your heart? In this message from Pastor John Lindell, we see from James 3 that our words reveal the condition of our heart and carry the power of life and death. Our prayer is that God would help you surrender your speech to Him, so your words reflect His wisdom, bring healing, and honor Him in every part of your life.
Ep 784God Is Your Provider | John Lindell
Will you trust God when you have nothing left? In this message from Pastor John Lindell, we see how God meets us in seasons of lack and calls us to trust Him beyond what we can see, just as He did for Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings 17:8–16. Our prayer is that your faith would rise in the middle of uncertainty and you would experience God’s faithful provision one step of obedience at a time.
Ep 783True Faith | Brandon Lindell
What does true faith in God look like? In this message from Pastor Brandon Lindell, we see in James 2:20–26 that true faith is more than a label or belief in name only—it is living, obedient, and revealed by action. Our prayer is that this message would stir your heart to move beyond empty faith and walk in the kind of faith that trusts God, obeys Him, and believes He can do the impossible.
