Your Giftings His Purpose - Part 2

Andrew Stensaas - Letting God Lead You

Dr. Paul Chappell - The Desire to Serve in a Local Church

The apostle Peter knows that his execution as a martyr is imminent and now pours out his pastoral heart for those he is writing to. He is deeply aware in the Spirit that after his 'departure' that false teachers will arise within the churches he has helped to plant and will try to deceive many of them. What he warns them of is still relevant for us today. May God grant us open hearts to hear what the Spirit is saying to us today.
The two New Testament epistles ascribed to the Apostle Peter are lesser known by most Christians than the Epistles of the Apostle Paul. Some scholars believe that First Peter may have been written to young Christians and may have even served as a 'catechism' for those about to be water baptised. In this episode, we look at how Peter presents God as Father, Son, and Spirit, and how Christianity commences with becoming 'born again'. But this is not where Christianity ends - and that aged Apostle Peter gives instructions on how a new believer is to grow in the faith by exploring what the knowledge of God and HIs grace requires.

Join us for Episode 4212 as Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Steimle of Union Theological Seminary offers his Advent message, “High Road in the Wilderness,” rooted in Isaiah 40:1-5. This timeless Day1 Classics sermon explores God’s voice of comfort amid silence, the call to travel the wilderness road, and the hopeful promise woven into Advent’s waiting. Steimle’s clear, compassionate preaching invites us to see Christmas not as a destination, but a beginning. Tune in for this thoughtful word of encouragement as we journey through the season.

High Road in the Wilderness - Episode 4212 | Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Steimle | Isaiah 40:1-5 | December 14, 2025

In this all-age Christmas message, Gordon explores the true heart of the Christmas story — a love story that begins with God coming close. From Mary and Joseph’s journey as displaced parents, to shepherds, angels, and wise men gathered around a manger, we see how the birth of Jesus reveals God’s love for every person. A simple, hope-filled invitation to discover the God who stepped into our world to bring peace, joy, and life.

Take Off Your PJs and Put On Your Armour

Lent and Advent are the most challenging seasons of the Christian calendar because during them we receive the most difficult, demanding, bad news ever to be called good - The Cross. Twice a year our worlds are rocked, our tables are turned, demons are put to wrought, and dead dreams are brought back to life. 

Jesus is the reason for this season, and frankly for every season. And lest we domesticate the Lord to mere flannel graphs and perfectly manicured manger scenes, we can’t forget Lent during Advent, the shadow of the cross lingers over the manger.

For, the baby born king we worship here and now grows in spirit and wisdom enough to call the powers and principalities to task. J the B might hit us with some harsh words here in December, but they can’t hold a flame to what J the C says and does. Jesus will not relent to the world. In fact, Jesus overcomes the world.

The promise of Advent is that no matter what stumps us in life, no matter how many dead ends we encounter, God is going to make a way where there is no way. Predator and prey will dwell together. Peace will reign. A child will lead us. 


Keep Lent In Advent

Today, Pastor Brandon begins our Advent Series "Behold the Lamb"-In today's sermon, he defends that Jesus was the prophesied child, but he also shows how dark things had gotten in Israel. That helps us understand just how much they needed the light of Christ. This is also a reminder of how God keeps His Word. Even if it takes centuries, His Word will not return void. 
Isaiah 9:1-7

251207--Pastor James Juristy--The Turnaround

There's more to the story of Bathsheba than the "Sunday School" story we've heard. And there's a reason She is one of five women listed in Jesus' genealogy. It's a story about peace and where you will find it.

Sermon: "Her Name Was Bathsheba" // 2 Samuel 11

This podcast features the songs "Who Do You Think" (The Primitive Quartet) and "That's Why There's a Christmas Day"(The Primitive Quartet) and part 2 of the message called "When the Shepherd Became the Lamb" given by Pastor Stephen Pope from the pulpit of Calvary Baptist Church (Union Grove, NC)

The Praises of Christmas | Part 2

“How I feel is not what’s real. What God says is what’s real.”

In this message, Pastor Chad Everett teaches what it truly means to walk in spiritual dominion in a world that constantly pulls our focus toward the physical. Long before Adam and Eve had bodies, God spoke directly to their spirits and gave them purpose, identity, and authority. That order matters. God establishes truth in the spirit realm before it shows up in the natural—and He calls us to live the same way.

Chad shows from Genesis 1–3 that spiritual authority doesn’t start with force, effort, or trying harder. It starts with agreement. The first battlefield of dominion was not a physical fight—it was a voice. Adam and Eve’s greatest challenge came through what they heard, what they believed, and who they chose to agree with. The same is true for us today.

If you’ve ever struggled with overwhelming thoughts, spiritual confusion, or circumstances that feel louder than God’s promises, this message will help you anchor your life back into God’s original intention for you. Learn how to take charge of your thoughts, recognize deception, resist the enemy’s lie, and speak the Word of God with confidence.
