Mother's Day: Guarding Against Deception - Pastor Josiah Elias
2w ago00:47:13Tap to summarizeIn this powerful and eye-opening message, “Guarding Against Deception,” Pastor Josiah Elias walks through the fall of humanity in Genesis 3 to expose how deception subtly pulls hearts away from pure devotion to God. From the very beginning, the serpent twisted God’s truth, causing Eve to question what the Lord had spoken even though she was already created in His image and likeness. This sermon reveals the dangerous progression of deception: God speaks truth, the enemy questions it, conversation with the lie begins, desire is awakened, and sin follows. Pastor Josiah powerfully challenges believers not to allow culture, emotions, personal desires, or the voice of the enemy to disciple them more than the Word of God. Through the words of Jesus in John 8, we are reminded that Satan is the father of lies, but those who belong to God hear and obey His voice. Even after the fall, God named Eve “the mother of all living,” proving that failure does not have to define identity or destiny. This message is a sobering call for the Church to stay rooted in truth, guard the heart against compromise, and recognize that deception is not simply believing wrong information—it is trusting any voice more than God’s.
Transcribe →Midweek Encounter: His Name: Jehovah Kanna - Pastor Josiah Elias
2w ago00:45:10Tap to summarizeIn this powerful podcast message on Jehovah Kanna—“The Lord Who is Jealous”—we uncover the fiery passion of God for the hearts of His people. Through Exodus 34, Scripture reveals that God’s jealousy is not rooted in insecurity, but in covenant love; He refuses to share the worship, affection, and devotion that belong to Him alone. Just as Elijah confronted Israel on Mount Carmel asking, “How much longer will you waver between two opinions?”, this message challenges believers to examine the altars, idols, and divided loyalties that can slowly pull our hearts away from wholehearted surrender to God. From the consuming fire of Deuteronomy to Paul’s burden in Romans and Corinthians, we see a God who longs to draw His people back into intimacy, stirring holy jealousy so hearts would return to Him in repentance and truth. Even in our wandering, Hosea reveals the tenderness of God, who lovingly calls His people back into the wilderness to speak to them again. This sermon is a passionate call to destroy compromise, rekindle zeal for the house of God, and respond to the One whose love burns fiercely for His people—a God who is not content with partial devotion, but desires all of us.
Transcribe →Red Letters: Withering Religion - Pastor Josiah Elias
2w ago00:29:21Tap to summarizeIn this convicting and powerful message entitled “Withering Religion,” Pastor Josiah Elias unpacks Jesus’ encounter with the barren fig tree in Matthew 21, revealing a sobering warning against outward religion that looks alive but bears no real fruit. Just as the fig tree was full of leaves yet empty within, Jesus confronted a religious culture that honored God with words while their hearts remained distant from Him. Through the connection between the fig tree and the inner life, this sermon challenges believers to examine the authenticity of their devotion—because how deep is our relationship with Christ if we cannot truly recognize His voice, His presence, or His heart? Pastor Josiah calls the Church beyond appearances, reminding us that true discipleship is proven through love, integrity, faith, and intimacy with Jesus rather than empty performance. While dead religion withers, genuine faith moves mountains, releases the impossible through Christ, and produces lasting fruit in the lives of those planted deeply in God’s presence. This message is a wake-up call for religion to die so people can truly encounter Christ, becoming like trees planted by living water whose leaves never wither and whose lives continually bear fruit for the glory of God.
Transcribe →Midweek Encounter: His Name: Jehovah Ra'ah - Pastor Josiah Elias
2w ago00:44:34Tap to summarizeIn this powerful Midweek Encounter message on Jehovah Ra’ah—“The Lord My Shepherd”—we uncover the heart of God as the Shepherd who faithfully leads, protects, restores, and calls His people by name. From Jacob blessing Joseph and declaring that God had shepherded him all his life, to Jesus revealing Himself in John 10 as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep, this sermon paints a beautiful picture of Christ’s personal care and guidance over every season of our lives. In a world full of noise, strangers, and confusion, the voice of the Shepherd still calls His flock to follow Him with trust and intimacy. Psalm 23 reminds us that under His leadership there is peace, provision, restoration, comfort, and fearless hope even in the valley of the shadow of death. Jesus looked upon the weary and scattered multitudes with compassion, recognizing sheep without a shepherd, and continues today to raise up pastors, leaders, and laborers to equip the Church and gather the harvest. This message will encourage you to draw near to the Shepherd who never abandons His sheep, whose goodness and mercy pursue you all the days of your life, and whose presence carries you safely home.
Transcribe →Red Letters: Honored To Choose - Pastor Josiah Elias
4w ago00:51:30Tap to summarizeEven in the face of undeniable miracles, many who encountered Jesus still chose not to believe—revealing a sobering truth that encountering God’s power does not automatically produce faith. This message unpacks the tension between revelation and resistance, showing how the condition of the heart determines whether truth is received or rejected. While God’s desire is that none would perish, Scripture makes it clear that people can harden their hearts, just like Pharaoh, resisting the very grace meant to lead them to repentance. Yet the invitation remains urgent and open: today is the day of salvation. Jesus stands as the full expression of the Father, the light sent into darkness so that all who trust in Him would step into life. This sermon calls us to examine what we truly value—human approval or the praise of God—and challenges us to choose life by fully surrendering in faith and obedience. In the end, God has entrusted us with the power to choose, and knowing Him is eternal life—so the question remains: will you respond to His voice, or resist the truth that leads to freedom?
Transcribe →Midweek Encounter: Go! The King Is Coming - Cynthia Baroni
4w ago00:26:12Tap to summarizeThis episode is a wake-up call to a generation that can no longer afford spiritual slumber—the hour has come to rise, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. As the world trembles and uncertainty increases, we are reminded to stay alert, to watch, and to live with urgency, knowing the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. Yet this is not a message of fear, but of purpose: God’s heart is patient, desiring that none would perish, and the fields around us are ripe for harvest. The call is clear—lift your eyes, step into the mission, and answer the invitation to go and make disciples. In a time where the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few, will you be the one who responds, “Here am I, send me,” living ready for the soon return of Christ and faithful to carry His message to the ends of the earth?
Transcribe →Midweek Encounter: His Name: El Roi - Pastor Josiah Elias
Apr 3000:34:28Tap to summarizeIn this powerful Midweek Encounter, we dive into the story of Hagar in Genesis 16—a story of pain, impatience, and broken human decisions, yet met by the overwhelming mercy of God. When Sarai and Abram took matters into their own hands, striving to fulfill God’s promise their own way, it led to division, rejection, and deep suffering for Hagar, who fled into the wilderness feeling unseen and abandoned. But it was there, in her lowest moment, that the angel of the Lord met her and revealed a profound truth: God hears and God sees. Hagar encounters the living God and calls Him “the God who sees me,” reminding us that even when we feel overlooked, mistreated, or forgotten, the Lord is fully aware of our pain and intimately involved in our story. Tying into Matthew 6 and 10, we’re reminded that our Father knows our needs before we ask and values us far beyond what we can comprehend—even down to the smallest details of our lives. This message calls us to trust God’s timing, surrender control, and rest in the assurance that we are never unseen, unheard, or unloved.
Transcribe →Red Letters: The Flip - Pastor Josiah Elias
Apr 2100:38:14Tap to summarizeIn this bold and eye-opening message, Pastor Josiah Elias unpacks the moment Jesus cleansed the temple in Matthew 21, revealing that sometimes divine cleansing doesn’t look peaceful—it looks like disruption. What appeared to be chaos was actually Jesus restoring what was sacred, confronting a system that had turned God’s house into a place of profit instead of prayer. Drawing from Jeremiah 7 and Isaiah 56, this sermon exposes the danger of mixing worship with selfish gain and challenges believers to examine their own hearts: have we made room for God, or have we replaced intimacy with performance? As Jesus overturns tables, He also heals the broken and welcomes the overlooked, showing that true revival makes space for purity, prayer, and presence. With powerful insight, Pastor Josiah reminds us that what Jesus says must matter—and often, it’s the least expected voices, like children, who carry the clearest revelation of His kingdom.
Transcribe →Midweek Encounter - His Name: Jehovah Tsidkenu Part 2 - Pastor Josiah Elias
Apr 2100:52:25Tap to summarizeStep into a powerful message from Pastor Josiah Elias on Jehovah Tsidkenu—“The Lord Our Righteousness”—where the promise of Jeremiah 23 meets the fulfillment in Jesus Christ. This sermon unpacks how Jesus, the righteous Branch, became the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world, inviting us not just to be forgiven, but transformed. Through the lens of John 15, Romans 6, and Galatians 2:20, you’ll discover what it truly means to be crucified with Christ, made new, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to walk in righteousness—not by striving, but by abiding. This message calls believers to leave behind the old life, resist sin’s grip, and fully embrace their identity as sons and daughters clothed in Christ, carrying His righteousness into the world as ambassadors of reconciliation.
Transcribe →Guest Speaker: What Now - Pastor Greg Hendricks
Apr 1301:01:24Tap to summarizeIn this powerful and eye-opening message, Pastor Greg Hendricks unpacks the journey of spiritual maturity and the ongoing sanctifying work of walking with God. Centered on the moment after the resurrection when Jesus appears to two disciples on the road—one named Cleopas and the other unnamed—this sermon reveals how easily pain, disappointment, and unmet expectations can blind us to the very presence of Christ walking beside us. Though Jesus had already secured the victory, they couldn’t see Him for who He was. Pastor Greg highlights how Jesus patiently revealed the Scriptures to them, showing that their confusion wasn’t just emotional—it was rooted in a lack of understanding and belief in what had already been spoken through the prophets. This message is a call to trust God’s timing, anchor yourself in His Word, and recognize that even in moments of doubt, Jesus is closer than you think, leading you deeper into maturity and truth.
