A Good Neighbor
Have you ever considered the Lord Jesus as a neighbor? Nearly two thousand years ago, He left His home, heaven, to live in yours, earth. Now, He longs to reside and preside within you!
The Power of Prayer
When you work, you get what man's work yields, but when you pray, you get God at work. In today's edition of The Weekend Pulpit, we examine Jesus' only prayer request in the Gospel records. What is on God's heart so heavily that He urges us to pray for it?
The Power of Christ’s Gospel
Jesus did not merely have a healing ministry but rather a revealing one. His main goal was not to treat physical ailments but to address mankind's greatest sickness, sin! Have you experienced the soul-cleansing power of Christ's gospel?
The Power of Compassion
What a beautiful truth that our all-powerful God is moved with compassion toward us! He, who knows the worst things about you, still loves you and longs to restore you. How can a Christian practice this same sort of compassion?
Just Like He Said!
The whole world started with the word of God, and the world will end with His word as well. God's word gets God's work done! What is it you can trust His word for today?
What Does God Know About You?
Nobody knows you like God knows you. He even knows you better than you know yourself! As we conclude this mini-series through the life of Abraham, we are challenged to agree with the Lord in humble submission.
The Greatest Verse in the Bible
The truth of John 3:16 is penetrating. Do you know God loves you? Have you put your faith in Him alone for salvation?
What Is at Hand and What Is Ahead
The God who made time is in your past, present, and future simultaneously. Just as He was faithful in the past, He is faithful right now and in the days ahead. We must simply do what the Lord requires of us today, resting in His faithfulness to do what He's promised.
Don’t Miss Jesus!
It is possible to go through the motions of the Christian life without truly being saved. It is also possible to be saved and foolishly live a life without an intimate fellowship with Jesus. How sincere is your walk with the Lord?
Consider Your Ways – Ch. 2
How frequently do we listen to transient voices of the day rather than the eternal Word of God? As we pay appropriate attention to His voice, He calls out all our sins and cuts them out of our lives. Join us as we continue our weekend study through the book of Haggai.
Consider Your Ways – Ch. 1
It is easy to become so busy that the Christian life becomes a robotic routine. Something that was once intimate becomes impersonal. Listen to this episode of The Weekend Pulpit for a soul-searching sermon from the book of Haggai.
The Word of the Lord Comes
Every good thing God does is somehow connected to His Word. By His Word, the world was created! Even greater than that, He desires to speak to you personally. Are you ready to respond to His Word?
Hope for the Hard Times
In days marred by hardship, lost people are desperate for answers. Christians are employed with the task of facing those difficulties with hope. How can believers live with hope that helps themselves and others?
Hope for Our Homes
The world's version of hope and God's are vastly different. By our relationship with the Heavenly Father, we possess a concrete confidence as unshakable as His character. Our future is sure, and our present can be sweet! Listen to this two-part series delivered at a family conference.
The Hardship of Strangers
The world will never understand true Christians. As followers of Christ, we will endure hardships and difficulty. But we have a Savior who is with us in the midst of difficulty. He will bring us through for His honor and glory.
The Household of Strangers
As Christians, we have become a part of the household of God. God has given us the privilege, in Christ, to be part of the family of God. He desires for us to have a heavenly home (of which believers are already a citizen), a church home, and a home filled with Christ.
The Hope of Strangers
In Jesus Christ we have hope. There is no true hope part from Christ. But what is hope? we hear a lot about it, but few have discovered the fulness of the hope we have as strangers in the world. Join Evangelist Scott Pauley as he preaches from Ephesians 2. on "The Hope of Strangers."
The Holiness of Strangers
In this strange time, we must return to holy living. We don't hear much about holiness anymore, but God demands that we live righteously before Him. Join Evangelist Scott Pauley as we look at Jeremiah 35.
The Honesty of Strangers
With all the turmoil around us, we must remember that this world is not our destination. We are not citizens of this world. So what then is our responsibility? Today we will look at 1 Peter 2. Tune in to our second message on Strangers and Strange Days…
The Heart of Strangers
This world is not the believers' true home. We are simply "strangers and pilgrims" on this earth. Increasingly, we see just how volatile and uncertain our world is, and it is time to remind ourselves that we are not of this world. Today on The Weekend Pulpit, we begin a six-message sermon series.
Untying the Savior’s Shoes by Pastor Tyler Gillit
In a day when people are more concerned with building their own name, John the Baptist's ministry reminds us to live in faithful service to our wonderful Master. No matter how low the task may seem, our Master stooped far lower to serve us.
The Praying Church
When you find a church that God is blessing, you see a church that is praying. Prayer is the first and lasting work that God's people sadly undervalue and underutilize. Listen to this episode as we conclude a mini-series on The Weekend Pulpit.
The Waiting Church
Waiting time is never wasted time when the one you’re waiting on is God. While you’re waiting, He is working. You can easily measure your faith in God by your waiting upon Him.
God’s Heart for All People
God's love is without prejudice. Jesus has impartial intentions to save everyone for an eternal relationship with Him. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!
The Prayers of Saints
We will not see the answer to some prayers until we kneel at Jesus Christ's nail-pierced feet. Occasionally, God gives us glimmers of those answers here, but one glorious day, we will see them in whole. Imagine what we have to look forward to!
Who In the World?
It is not a sin to ask questions! The Bible is full of them, and even Jesus Himself asked them. Listen to today's episode to receive the answer to one of Scripture's supreme questions.
After This
One million years from this moment, you will be somewhere. Death is merely a door into eternity. You can know where you will be and what will occur after your death.
The Last Church
While the church anticipates Christ’s soon coming, we must not miss what the Holy Spirit is doing now! Be cautious of being so consumed with future events that you neglect present opportunities. Listen to today’s edition of The Weekend Pulpit as we begin a new study on Christ’s last words to His church.
Praying with Jesus
Nobody looks forward to the hard seasons of life, yet God looks at them as holy moments for us to know Him more intimately. Are you weak or wounded today? Listen to this episode to hear how God can use your valley.
Fishers of Men
Only Jesus could transform ordinary fishermen into soul-winners! However, this transformation required some sacrifice from His disciples. How can one become a fisher of men today?
Into the Wilderness
We all have busy days, but nobody has ever been busier than Jesus was! Although He was everlastingly busy during His earthly ministry, Christ was never so much in a hurry that He neglected prayer. Listen to this episode of The Weekend Pulpit.
A Life of Repentance
While repentance is necessary for our salvation, it is equally essential for our sanctification. A Christian who fails to regularly confess his sin to the Lord resultantly fails to grow in his walk with Him. Your faith can be measured by your repentance.
The Beginning from the God of New Beginnings
Many times we say we want to hear from God but do not ready our hearts to hear from God. When the Word of God declared, our hearts should be prepared. Join Scott Pauley for this first message from Mark 1.
What God Shows You In the Dark
In the darkest times, God is at work. The coming of Jesus Christ is one of the greatest examples of this. Yet, it is not just a truth for the Christmas season. In your darkest seasons, God will teach you the deepest truths.
Love the Lord
We live in a world that knows very little about love and yet ever longs for it. However, God, who is love, longs for us to love Him. Which side of the battle are you on?
This Day
Young people tend to live in the future, while old people tend to live in the past. Our God is a present-tense God! Every day is a gift from God that He desires to use.
From the Beginning of the Year Even Unto the End of the Year
Often, our temptation is to think introspectively. But there is a danger in turning all our attention on ourselves and off the Lord. This year, from beginning to end, we must seek to have God's thoughts and walk in His ways.
SPECIAL: Next Steps in the New Year
Do you want to get into God's Word in the coming year? This beautiful new resource will equip you to get more out of God's Word, with memory verses for each month, a Bible reading plan on every day of the year, free Bible study resources, gospel tools, and more.
The Brook In the Way
Have you ever felt spiritually drained? The Lord Jesus has made a way for us to access divine refreshment in a spiritually barren world. Join us for this edition of The Weekend Pulpit as we dive into one of the Messianic Psalms.
Return
The last chapter of Hosea is one of the most remarkable revival chapters in all of Scripture. Within it rings one of revival's key words, "return." God extends this invitation with incomparable benefits.
Family Memorials
What type of memorial would your life leave behind if you were to enter into eternity today? Our lives will leave behind a mark for good or for bad. Tune in to this episode to learn how to leave one that will continue to impact others positively for the cause of Christ.
The Hiding God
Not only does God reveal Himself, but He also hides Himself. When God withdraws Himself, it is simply because He desires to be sought. He desperately wants us to be desperate for Him.
Hear The Word of the Lord
It is possible to be present in a conversation without actually perceiving what is said. In a spiritual sense, God is speaking through His Word, yet we fail to tune into the right frequency to truly hear Him. Join us as we begin a new study through Hosea!
Eternity
Did you know there is only one verse in the Bible that has the word "eternity"? Similar terms like everlasting and eternal are used frequently, but the Holy Spirit reserved the word eternity for one passage in Isaiah 57:15: Today we study the only time "eternity" is used in the Bible. For more on eternity visit us at: https://enjoyingthejourney.org If you are not sure where you will spend eternity, click here to learn more or contact us: https://enjoyingthejourney.org/gospel/ To order our "Eternity" gospel tract visit: https://enjoyingthejourney.org/product/enjoying-the-journey-eternity-tract/
The Way of His Steps
Life is all about direction. God has providentially prepared our path before us. Each day, the Lord wants to direct our steps on that path.
A Sure Salvation
The Gospel is not restricted to one portion of Scripture but is weaved throughout the whole Bible. As we dig deeper into Psalm 85, the psalmist emphasizes the surety of our salvation.
I Will Hear
Because God has given us His Word, we should read, receive, and retain it. Sadly, we fail even to prepare to hear Him. We will see the Living Word very soon, but until then, we must give our attention to His written Word.
The Heart of the Prayer
Prayer is the connection between heaven and our hearts. God pays more attention to the sincerity of our hearts than the beauty of our words. Once we align our hearts with His, we are another step closer to revival.
Where Revival Praying Begins
There is a great difference between praying for revival and revival praying. Revival praying begins with confession. The renewal we desire is always preceded by repentance.
Diet and Exercise
Most men do not fail in their weak points. They fail in their strong points. If you are going to be one of the Lord’s strong men, you must surrender your weaknesses and strengths to Him. Listen to part two of a recent series delivered at a men’s conference.
Strong Men
There is a great difference between physical and spiritual strength. The former lasts for a little while, but the latter lasts for an eternity. Listen to this practical message recently delivered at a men’s conference.
The Ends of the World
Knowing that we are approaching the ends of the world, what should we do? This is not the time to wonder about your salvation. Neither is this the time to waiver in your stance for the Lord!
Truth for Tempted People
Nobody is an exception to temptation, even the greatest of Christians. Any of us are capable of any sin, but our faithful God is always able to deliver us!
All, Many, and Some
Perhaps the worst part about sin is not what we get but what we miss. Specifically, sins of the spirit are disruptive and deceptive because they can be hard to identify. May God shine the light of His Word in our souls and do a thorough work.
That Rock Was Christ
Nothing can perfectly describe how perfect Jesus is! In this episode of The Weekend Pulpit, we notice another symbol of the Lord. As our Rock, He provides strength and stability.
Don’t Be Ignorant
So many of the Lord's people are living in ignorance. The ignorance is not intellectual, but practical. Has your belief idled and stopped influencing your behavior?
This Is Not A Game!
As a Christian, you are enlisted in a soul-winner's race. This race has eternal implications and requires daily discipline. Your whole life is connected to what God is doing for the gospel's sake.
The Name and Fame of the Lord
In our celebrity culture, people are enamored with fame. None of us are truly worthy of fame except the Lord Himself. He deserves and desires for His name to be known.
Under His Wings
Are you living under the Lord's wings today? Like those of a bird, His wings are a symbol of strength and tenderness. Praise God we can have an intimate fellowship with our conquering Lord!
Have You Heard?
Hearing more bad news than ever before, we live in a world full of information. Despite the loudness, God longs for us to hear His hopeful voice. Have you heard from the Lord today?
One Thing I Know
The greatest knowledge on earth is the knowledge of God. The Lord's great intent is that you come to know Him personally and that you take personal the task of making Him known. Are your sharing your knowledge of God or being selfish with it?
One Thing Is Needful
What is important to God ought to be important to us. How easy it is to overload our schedules with good things yet neglect the best thing! There is no substitute for giving Christ His rightful place in your life.
One Thing God Wants Us to Know
Have you considered that eternity is just around the corner? There will come a day when time is no more. When your time is gone, where will you be for eternity? There is nothing more important to settle.
Bringing All of Life Down to “One Thing”
Only the simplicity of Christ can cut through the complexity of sin. Throughout Scripture, God frequently boils many things down to one thing. One is a number of priority and unity. One truth can touch every area of your life.
How the Work of God Advances
God never intended for His work to get stuck in a rut or go backward. He always wants His work to advance for His own glory! Through His abounding grace and empowering Spirit, God can advance His work in the life of you and those around you.
When Joshua Met Jesus
Nothing changes you like an encounter with the living God. There are many powerful truths contained in the Book of Zechariah. This week we examine the amazing encounter between Joshua the High Priest and the Lord Jesus found in Zechariah 3.
From Me Is Thy Fruit Found
The fruit of revival can only be produced by the God of revival. While He can move us from emptiness to fruitfulness, the amount of this fruit directly depends on how much you allow God to work on you. As the Lord’s branch, are you flourishing today?
A Revived Life
There is a great difference between a revival meeting and a revived life. While God can produce a great work in one of these meetings, He did not design the Christian life to be lived only a few days out of the year. This revived life hinges on constant fellowship with our life-giving God and has a continual freshness about it.
Take with You Words
Concerning prayer, many people claim they do not know what to say. You can always know you are praying properly if you take what God has already said in His word and simply agree with Him. The Bible is our prayer book. To pray in the will of God, pray the Word of God.
The Word that Comes Before Revival
Did you know there is a word which comes before revival in God’s vocabulary? That word is “return.” While revival is God’s work, returning is our work that precedes revival. Dive back into the book of Hosea and realize the necessity of returning to the Lord.
God’s Message to Me
What a surreal thought that the Creator of the universe speaks specifically to His creatures! We no longer have to worry about or wonder what God is saying to us because He’s given us His Word. Learn from this weekend’s episode how God longs for us to listen to His message.
Paul Stays Positive by Pastor Kevin Cormican
Oftentimes, it is a natural tendency to focus on the negatives of life. When we concentrate on circumstances rather than Christ, eventually we will be discouraged. Tune in to today’s episode of The Weekend Pulpit and discover Paul’s source for spiritual optimism.
What Ever Happened to Bethel?
When God repeats Himself, it is always on purpose and for our profit. Sixty times in the Old Testament, Bethel is mentioned, but not once is it mentioned in the New Testament. How could a place where God was once preeminent seemingly disappear?
It’s Time to Pray!
Prayer is our declaration of dependence upon God. Do you need direction? Pray. Are you facing opposition or frustration? Pray! Join us as we study an overlooked passage about Bethel and see the power of prayer.
Back to Bethel
God desires for you to consciously dwell in His holy presence every day. There is no other way to live in power and victory! However, so many believers choose to live with broken fellowship between them and the Lord. In which place will you choose to dwell today?
The Gate of Heaven
Every person must have a personal encounter with God. Because of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is possible for every person to have one! Man could never reach God, yet God reached down for man. Join us as we continue our series in The Weekend Pulpit.
Beginning at Bethel
This Weekend Pulpit begins a series of sermons surrounding a certain place in Scripture. Being mentioned sixty times throughout the Bible, Bethel is a significant symbol to New Testament believers. Listen to this message and learn of the opportunity God has given you to move forward with Him.
The Unimaginable Power of Prayer by Pastor Greg Dowdy
While prayer is our greatest resource, it should be our first response. The possibilities of prayer are as great as God is powerful! Learn from this message on The Weekend Pulpit some life-changing lessons on prayer.
God’s Stewardship Accounting Principles (Pt. 2)
When you meet God someday, the only thing that will matter is the smile of Jesus. Christians should do what they do, not for the pleasure of man, but for the praise of God. Listen to The Weekend Pulpit for the last episode in this series on stewardship.
God’s Stewardship Accounting Principles (Pt. 1)
Christians are stewards of the greatest thing in the world. We are stewards of the revealed truth of God. For a time, these truths were unknown, but praise God, He has made them known to us! Listen to part one to discover a great investment opportunity the Lord has given His children.
The Discipleship of Stewardship
Discipleship is not a series of lessons. It is the whole Christian life! Salvation is just the beginning of all Christ desires for His followers. Purpose today to pursue Jesus and point others to Him.
The Fellowship of Stewardship
What is your relationship to Christ’s church? Being members of the same heavenly family, Christians should not wait until they get to heaven to fellowship with one another! Listen to this episode of the weekend pulpit to hear about your individual responsibility in God’s family.
The Rest of the Story
Did Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead to stop Mary and Martha from crying? Did He do it to stop people from mocking Him? He raised Lazarus for the same reason He gives believers new life, to point others to Him! Join us as we dive into "The Rest of the Story."
Don’t Miss Jesus
As we go through Christmas season, the temptation is to miss what Christ is doing in the world today. In every time and season, God is at work, and you miss Jesus, you've missed it all.
The Secret Principle
Every evil fruit grows in the soil of unforgiveness. When we withhold forgiveness, God withholds His blessings. As we conclude our study of the model prayer, choose to be a forgiven person who forgives others.
The Secrets of Prayer
We come this weekend to a classic passage on prayer. So often, we are the origin and object of our prayers. Learn today how getting a proper perspective of God can purify your prayer life.
The Secret Place
We begin studying some of the Lord Jesus' prayer secrets. Open your Bible to Matthew 6 for this week's Weekend Pulpit.
Jesus and John
This weekend, we study the life of the disciple whom Jesus loved. While Christ obviously loved all His disciples, John teaches us the importance of nearness to God.
Jesus and Peter
Have you ever wished for a second chance? In the Christian life, failure is not final. Through the testimony of this weekend's disciple, Peter, you'll be reminded of God's prevailing mercy.
Jesus and Thomas
It's okay for Christians to have questions, as long as they bring them to the right Person! Learn from this weekend's disciple, Thomas, how to replace your confusion with clarity and confidence.
Jesus and Judas
Be sure to listen to today's Bible message from Matthew 26. We are continuing our series on Jesus and His disciples. We come this week to Judas...
Follow Me
Today we begin a brand new study on Jesus and His disciples. Following Christ is the key to discovering all that God has for you! See what God will set in motion as you follow Him today! This series was originally preached to young people at a Christian camp.
Antioch Christians In An Athens Culture
In this world marred by sin, God’s children aren’t meant to blend in! In Acts 17, we learn how to stand up and speak out for the Lord. Determine today to be an Antioch Christian in an Athens Culture.
The God They Did Not Know
It doesn’t necessarily matter what you believe; what matters is in Whom you believe. There is a great difference in knowing about God and knowing God. Listen to this message from Acts 17 of The Apostle Paul’s timeless sermon revealing the greatest need of our nation.
In Every Place
In every place, God is at work. No matter what is going on around you, God is at work. Listen to this first message from Acts 17 to learn more about God's Work in every place.
An Awesome God by Byron Foxx
We hope you will tune in to this encouraging message from Psalm 33. Dr. Byron Foxx has been a longtime friend of the Bro. Pauley and has a passionate heart to serve God. Be sure to hear this week's message.
A Full Church
We live in a day when many people become distracted with big churches and lots of crowds. But what does God want a church to be filled with? Listen to today's message from Ephesians 4 as we conclude this study.
A Good Neighbor
Have you ever considered the Lord Jesus as a neighbor? Nearly two thousand years ago, He left His home, heaven, to live in yours, earth. Now, He longs to reside and preside within you!
The Power of Prayer
When you work, you get what man's work yields, but when you pray, you get God at work. In today's edition of The Weekend Pulpit, we examine Jesus' only prayer request in the Gospel records. What is on God's heart so heavily that He urges us to pray for it?

The Way of His Steps
Life is all about direction. God has providentially prepared our path before us. Each day, the Lord wants to direct our steps on that path.
A Sure Salvation
The Gospel is not restricted to one portion of Scripture but is weaved throughout the whole Bible. As we dig deeper into Psalm 85, the psalmist emphasizes the surety of our salvation.
I Will Hear
Because God has given us His Word, we should read, receive, and retain it. Sadly, we fail even to prepare to hear Him. We will see the Living Word very soon, but until then, we must give our attention to His written Word.
The Heart of the Prayer
Prayer is the connection between heaven and our hearts. God pays more attention to the sincerity of our hearts than the beauty of our words. Once we align our hearts with His, we are another step closer to revival.
Where Revival Praying Begins
There is a great difference between praying for revival and revival praying. Revival praying begins with confession. The renewal we desire is always preceded by repentance.
Diet and Exercise
Most men do not fail in their weak points. They fail in their strong points. If you are going to be one of the Lord’s strong men, you must surrender your weaknesses and strengths to Him. Listen to part two of a recent series delivered at a men’s conference.
Strong Men
There is a great difference between physical and spiritual strength. The former lasts for a little while, but the latter lasts for an eternity. Listen to this practical message recently delivered at a men’s conference.
The Ends of the World
Knowing that we are approaching the ends of the world, what should we do? This is not the time to wonder about your salvation. Neither is this the time to waiver in your stance for the Lord!
Truth for Tempted People
Nobody is an exception to temptation, even the greatest of Christians. Any of us are capable of any sin, but our faithful God is always able to deliver us!
All, Many, and Some
Perhaps the worst part about sin is not what we get but what we miss. Specifically, sins of the spirit are disruptive and deceptive because they can be hard to identify. May God shine the light of His Word in our souls and do a thorough work.
That Rock Was Christ
Nothing can perfectly describe how perfect Jesus is! In this episode of The Weekend Pulpit, we notice another symbol of the Lord. As our Rock, He provides strength and stability.
Don’t Be Ignorant
So many of the Lord's people are living in ignorance. The ignorance is not intellectual, but practical. Has your belief idled and stopped influencing your behavior?
This Is Not A Game!
As a Christian, you are enlisted in a soul-winner's race. This race has eternal implications and requires daily discipline. Your whole life is connected to what God is doing for the gospel's sake.
The Name and Fame of the Lord
In our celebrity culture, people are enamored with fame. None of us are truly worthy of fame except the Lord Himself. He deserves and desires for His name to be known.
Under His Wings
Are you living under the Lord's wings today? Like those of a bird, His wings are a symbol of strength and tenderness. Praise God we can have an intimate fellowship with our conquering Lord!
Have You Heard?
Hearing more bad news than ever before, we live in a world full of information. Despite the loudness, God longs for us to hear His hopeful voice. Have you heard from the Lord today?
One Thing I Know
The greatest knowledge on earth is the knowledge of God. The Lord's great intent is that you come to know Him personally and that you take personal the task of making Him known. Are your sharing your knowledge of God or being selfish with it?
One Thing Is Needful
What is important to God ought to be important to us. How easy it is to overload our schedules with good things yet neglect the best thing! There is no substitute for giving Christ His rightful place in your life.
One Thing God Wants Us to Know
Have you considered that eternity is just around the corner? There will come a day when time is no more. When your time is gone, where will you be for eternity? There is nothing more important to settle.
Bringing All of Life Down to “One Thing”
Only the simplicity of Christ can cut through the complexity of sin. Throughout Scripture, God frequently boils many things down to one thing. One is a number of priority and unity. One truth can touch every area of your life.
How the Work of God Advances
God never intended for His work to get stuck in a rut or go backward. He always wants His work to advance for His own glory! Through His abounding grace and empowering Spirit, God can advance His work in the life of you and those around you.
When Joshua Met Jesus
Nothing changes you like an encounter with the living God. There are many powerful truths contained in the Book of Zechariah. This week we examine the amazing encounter between Joshua the High Priest and the Lord Jesus found in Zechariah 3.
From Me Is Thy Fruit Found
The fruit of revival can only be produced by the God of revival. While He can move us from emptiness to fruitfulness, the amount of this fruit directly depends on how much you allow God to work on you. As the Lord’s branch, are you flourishing today?
A Revived Life
There is a great difference between a revival meeting and a revived life. While God can produce a great work in one of these meetings, He did not design the Christian life to be lived only a few days out of the year. This revived life hinges on constant fellowship with our life-giving God and has a continual freshness about it.
Take with You Words
Concerning prayer, many people claim they do not know what to say. You can always know you are praying properly if you take what God has already said in His word and simply agree with Him. The Bible is our prayer book. To pray in the will of God, pray the Word of God.
The Word that Comes Before Revival
Did you know there is a word which comes before revival in God’s vocabulary? That word is “return.” While revival is God’s work, returning is our work that precedes revival. Dive back into the book of Hosea and realize the necessity of returning to the Lord.
God’s Message to Me
What a surreal thought that the Creator of the universe speaks specifically to His creatures! We no longer have to worry about or wonder what God is saying to us because He’s given us His Word. Learn from this weekend’s episode how God longs for us to listen to His message.
Paul Stays Positive by Pastor Kevin Cormican
Oftentimes, it is a natural tendency to focus on the negatives of life. When we concentrate on circumstances rather than Christ, eventually we will be discouraged. Tune in to today’s episode of The Weekend Pulpit and discover Paul’s source for spiritual optimism.
What Ever Happened to Bethel?
When God repeats Himself, it is always on purpose and for our profit. Sixty times in the Old Testament, Bethel is mentioned, but not once is it mentioned in the New Testament. How could a place where God was once preeminent seemingly disappear?
It’s Time to Pray!
Prayer is our declaration of dependence upon God. Do you need direction? Pray. Are you facing opposition or frustration? Pray! Join us as we study an overlooked passage about Bethel and see the power of prayer.
Back to Bethel
God desires for you to consciously dwell in His holy presence every day. There is no other way to live in power and victory! However, so many believers choose to live with broken fellowship between them and the Lord. In which place will you choose to dwell today?
The Gate of Heaven
Every person must have a personal encounter with God. Because of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is possible for every person to have one! Man could never reach God, yet God reached down for man. Join us as we continue our series in The Weekend Pulpit.
Beginning at Bethel
This Weekend Pulpit begins a series of sermons surrounding a certain place in Scripture. Being mentioned sixty times throughout the Bible, Bethel is a significant symbol to New Testament believers. Listen to this message and learn of the opportunity God has given you to move forward with Him.
The Unimaginable Power of Prayer by Pastor Greg Dowdy
While prayer is our greatest resource, it should be our first response. The possibilities of prayer are as great as God is powerful! Learn from this message on The Weekend Pulpit some life-changing lessons on prayer.
God’s Stewardship Accounting Principles (Pt. 2)
When you meet God someday, the only thing that will matter is the smile of Jesus. Christians should do what they do, not for the pleasure of man, but for the praise of God. Listen to The Weekend Pulpit for the last episode in this series on stewardship.
God’s Stewardship Accounting Principles (Pt. 1)
Christians are stewards of the greatest thing in the world. We are stewards of the revealed truth of God. For a time, these truths were unknown, but praise God, He has made them known to us! Listen to part one to discover a great investment opportunity the Lord has given His children.
The Discipleship of Stewardship
Discipleship is not a series of lessons. It is the whole Christian life! Salvation is just the beginning of all Christ desires for His followers. Purpose today to pursue Jesus and point others to Him.
The Fellowship of Stewardship
What is your relationship to Christ’s church? Being members of the same heavenly family, Christians should not wait until they get to heaven to fellowship with one another! Listen to this episode of the weekend pulpit to hear about your individual responsibility in God’s family.
The Rest of the Story
Did Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead to stop Mary and Martha from crying? Did He do it to stop people from mocking Him? He raised Lazarus for the same reason He gives believers new life, to point others to Him! Join us as we dive into "The Rest of the Story."
Don’t Miss Jesus
As we go through Christmas season, the temptation is to miss what Christ is doing in the world today. In every time and season, God is at work, and you miss Jesus, you've missed it all.
The Secret Principle
Every evil fruit grows in the soil of unforgiveness. When we withhold forgiveness, God withholds His blessings. As we conclude our study of the model prayer, choose to be a forgiven person who forgives others.
The Secrets of Prayer
We come this weekend to a classic passage on prayer. So often, we are the origin and object of our prayers. Learn today how getting a proper perspective of God can purify your prayer life.

The God They Did Not Know
It doesn’t necessarily matter what you believe; what matters is in Whom you believe. There is a great difference in knowing about God and knowing God. Listen to this message from Acts 17 of The Apostle Paul’s timeless sermon revealing the greatest need of our nation.
In Every Place
