The The Remnant Church Podcast is the official audio of our Sunday morning messages—rooted in Scripture, centered on Christ, and saturated in prayer.
Our mission is to build a devoted people: devoted to the apostles’ doctrine, devoted to fellowship, devoted to breaking of bread, and devoted to prayer and fasting. We believe that through true devotion, Christ is glorified and God adds to His Church.
This podcast exists to strengthen the remnant—those preserved by God for His glory in the earth. Each message calls believers beyond surface-level faith into spiritual depth, resilience, obedience, and faithful stewardship of the salvation we’ve been given.
We are not sustained by excitement. We are rooted in devotion. We are committed to building what God has called us to build.
If you desire biblical teaching that challenges, equips, and anchors you in Christ, welcome to the Remnant.

The Remnant Church Podcast NotesGrow Up: Get Off the BottleMain ScriptureHebrews 5:11–14Main IdeaMilk is where spiritual growth begins, but God never intended for us to remain spiritual infants.At The Remnant Church, we do not want to simply know church language. We want the Word of God to change how we live.Key thought: You can know the language of faith and still lack the appetite of maturity.1. Are We Growing or Just Attending?The believers in Hebrews had been walking with God long enough to be further along, but they still needed basic teaching.Time in church does not automatically produce maturity.DiscussionWhat is the difference between attending church and growing spiritually?Based on how long we have followed Jesus, should we be further along?What should begin changing in the life of a mature believer?Key thought: Truth applied over time produces maturity.2. Dull HearingThe writer says they had become “dull of hearing.”They heard truth, but they were not responding to it.DiscussionWhat does dull hearing look like?Can someone hear good preaching every week and still remain immature?What has God already spoken that we have not obeyed?Key thought: When your hearing becomes dull, your growth becomes delayed.3. Milk Versus Solid FoodMilk represents the basic truths of faith:Jesus loves me.Jesus died for me.Jesus forgave me.Jesus saved me.Solid food means learning to obey when it is difficult, forgive when hurt, remain faithful under pressure, and apply Scripture to everyday life.DiscussionWhat is the difference between spiritual milk and solid food?Why do believers often prefer inspiration over correction?Can Christian content replace personal Bible study and obedience?Key thought: What sustained your infancy will starve your future.4. Maturity Requires PracticeHebrews 5:14 says mature believers train their discernment through constant practice.Maturity develops through repeated obedience.DiscussionWhy does maturity require practice?What spiritual habits strengthen discernment?What truth do we already know but need to begin practicing?Key thought: Maturity is not proven by what you know, but by how consistently the Word shapes your response.Remnant Church ConnectionOur mission is:Know Jesus. Find Family.Knowing Jesus must lead to transformation.Finding family means becoming part of a church where people are discipled, corrected, encouraged, and strengthened.Church ReflectionAre we creating a church people can attend, or a family where people can mature?How can mature believers help disciple newer believers?Are we becoming disciples who can help make other disciples?Weekly ChallengeIdentify one area where you already know what God’s Word says but have not consistently obeyed it.Do not only learn something new this week.Practice something you already know.Closing TakeawayMilk is where we begin, but maturity is where God is calling us.Real maturity is being trained by the truth until your life begins to look like Jesus.

Grow Up: Transformational Thinking | Romans 8:5–8Spiritual maturity begins in the mind. In the second message of our Grow Up series, we discover that the battle between the flesh and the Spirit is first won or lost by what we choose to think about. Paul reminds us that transformation doesn't happen accidentally—it happens when we intentionally set our minds on the things of God. The fruit of our lives will always reveal the focus of our minds.Key ThemesThe fruit of your life reveals the focus of your mind. Our actions are the overflow of our thoughts. What we consistently dwell on will eventually shape who we become.Transformation requires intentional thinking. God does not force us to think like Christ. We must intentionally set our minds on the things of the Spirit through the continual renewal of our minds.Whatever you practice in your mind will eventually show up in your life. Sinful habits begin as sinful thought patterns. Likewise, spiritual maturity is cultivated by consistently practicing godly thinking.The flesh and the Spirit are always at war. Every believer experiences a daily battle between fleshly desires and the leading of the Holy Spirit. The direction of our minds determines which one gains influence.Renewed minds produce spiritual discernment. When our minds are transformed by God's Word, we begin to recognize His will, walk with greater clarity, and avoid spiritual wandering.The evidence of maturity is spiritual fruit. A mind set on the Spirit produces a life marked by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.Key ScriptureRomans 8:5–8 Romans 12:2 Galatians 5:16–25TakeawayThe Christian life is not transformed by good intentions but by renewed thinking.Every day you are setting your mind on something. The question is: Is it feeding your flesh or forming you into the image of Christ?What you consistently practice in your mind will eventually become the fruit of your life.

Grow Up: Childish | 1 Corinthians 13:11As followers of Christ, faith was never meant to remain stagnant. The goal of the Christian life is maturity. In the opening message of our Grow Up series, we are challenged to examine the areas where spiritual immaturity is keeping us from becoming the believers God has called us to be. Paul reminds us that childishness is not simply about age—it is revealed in the way we think, reason, and respond. True spiritual growth begins when Christ transforms the way we think.Key ThemesThe call of every believer is maturity. A mature believer is one who endures, remains faithful through testing, and continues fighting the good fight of faith until Christ returns.You cannot mature in Christ while reasoning without Christ. Spiritual maturity begins with allowing Christ and His Word to become the foundation of how we think, process information, and make decisions.Childish behavior begins in the mind. Paul teaches that childishness is not simply external behavior—it begins in flawed reasoning that has not been submitted to Christ.Exposure shapes spiritual development. What we continually feed ourselves eventually shapes how we think, how we reason, and ultimately how we live. What we expose ourselves to can either strengthen maturity or stunt spiritual growth.The mind must be intentionally renewed. Transformation does not happen accidentally. Walking in the Spirit requires intentionally rejecting the patterns of the flesh and allowing Christ to renew the mind.What feeds your flesh will fight your maturity. We cannot continue entertaining worldly desires while expecting spiritual growth. What we consistently feed will eventually shape what we become.Key Scripture1 Corinthians 13:11 1 Corinthians 14:20 Romans 8:5 Galatians 5:19TakeawaySpiritual maturity does not happen by accident—it happens when we intentionally allow Christ to transform the way we think.If we continue feeding childish desires, we will continue producing immature faith.What feeds your flesh will fight your maturity.

On this Father’s Day message, we are reminded of a truth we often overlook: even Jesus needed His Father. In one of the darkest moments of His earthly life, standing in the Garden of Gethsemane with the weight of the cross before Him, Jesus teaches us what true dependence looks like. In our heaviest moments, we do not run from God—we run to Him. And through Christ, we now have access to cry out the same words Jesus cried: Abba, Father.Key ThemesHeavy moments need holy access. When life becomes overwhelming, faith is not pretending the burden does not exist—it is knowing exactly where to run when the weight becomes too heavy to carry.Abba speaks to intimacy, trust, and closeness. Jesus did not casually call God “Father.” In His deepest agony, He cried Abba—revealing the intimacy every believer now has access to through Him.Jesus modeled dependence on the Father. In Gethsemane, Jesus showed us that true strength is found not in self-preservation, but in surrender to the will of the Father.The cross gave us access to adoption. What Jesus modeled in the garden, He made possible through His death, burial, and resurrection. Through Christ, we are no longer strangers—we are sons and daughters.You are covered because you are His. Because of adoption through Jesus, believers do not approach God as outsiders hoping He will listen. We come boldly knowing our Father covers, protects, sustains, and provides for His children.Key ScriptureMark 14:32–36 Galatians 4:4–7TakeawayThe greatest gift of the cross was not simply forgiveness—it was access.Because of Jesus, we no longer stand before God as abandoned people trying to earn His attention. We stand as sons and daughters with full access to cry out: Abba, Father.Life may feel heavy, the storm may rage, the garden may feel dark… but if you belong to Christ, you are covered because you are His.

By Faith: Is God Pleased? | Hebrews 11:5–6In this message, we continue our By Faith series by looking at the life and testimony of Enoch. Before Enoch was taken by God, Scripture says he had this testimony: he pleased God. This sermon challenges us to examine our own lives and ask the honest question: Is God pleased?Key ThemesFaith is the way we please God. Pleasing God begins with trusting that He is who He says He is and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.Faith is not occasional—it is a walk. Enoch walked with God for 300 years. His life was marked by consistency, trust, and relationship with the Lord.Pleasing God requires obedience. Faith is demonstrated through surrender, submission, and choosing God’s ways over our own.God looks at the heart. A renewed mind and a pure heart matter to God. He is not only concerned with what we do, but why we do it.Faith shows up in how we treat others. A life pleasing to God bears fruit through love, generosity, service, and care for the people around us.Key ScriptureHebrews 11:5–6TakeawayTo please God is a lifelong journey that can only be lived by faith.The question is not just what people will say about us when we are gone, but what testimony we will have before God: Did we please Him?

By Faith: Walking When We Cannot See | Hebrews 11:8–10Faith is not simply believing what God has said—it is moving in obedience even when the destination, process, and outcome remain unclear. In Hebrews 11, Abraham becomes the example of what it means to trust God enough to move when certainty is absent. Real faith is not built on what we can see, but on confidence in the One who has spoken.Key ThemesGod doesn’t require perfect people—He requires trusting people. Faith has never been about perfection, but about a willingness to trust and obey God despite our flaws.Real faith requires movement. Faith is not passive belief. Biblical faith acts upon the Word of God, even when understanding has not yet been revealed.Obedience often leads into unfamiliar territory. God will frequently call us into seasons that feel uncertain, uncomfortable, and unfamiliar—not to harm us, but to grow us.Growth never happens in comfort zones. The process of faith requires leaving behind what feels safe so God can develop trust and dependence on Him.Doubt and faith cannot lead at the same time. When doubt takes control, compromise follows. Doubt causes detours, shortcuts, and often leads us to create solutions in the flesh instead of waiting on God.Faith waits while flesh rushes. God’s promises often involve seasons of waiting. Faith learns to trust God’s timing instead of forcing outcomes prematurely.Obedience impacts more than just you. Abraham’s obedience affected generations to come. In the same way, both obedience and disobedience influence those connected to our lives.Key ScriptureHebrews 11:8–10TakeawayFaith is not certainty in your circumstances—it is confidence in God’s promise.Don’t let doubt preach louder than what God has already spoken. Keep walking, trust the process, and remember: you never know what’s waiting on the other side of obedience.

Podcast Episode NotesThe Remnant Church Podcast Sermon Title: By Faith: The Walk Is the Witness Primary Texts: Hebrews 11:5–6; Genesis 5:21–24 Supporting Texts: Jude 14–15; Amos 3:3In this message, Pastor Stephen J. Walker continues the By Faith series by looking at the life of Enoch — a man mentioned only a few times in Scripture, yet honored in Hebrews 11 as part of the Hall of Faith.Enoch’s life teaches us that faith is not just something we use for moments, miracles, or major decisions. Faith is the lifestyle of the believer. Enoch walked with God for 300 years, showing us that true faith is not an event — it is a daily, consistent walk with God.This sermon calls us to examine our own lives with honest questions: Would God call me faithful? Does my life please Him? Am I walking with God, or am I trying to walk with Him while my heart is still at war with Him?Faith does not only move our feet toward God; faith brings our hearts into agreement with God. Enoch’s witness reminds us that God is not simply looking for religious activity. He is looking for people who trust His character, agree with His word, walk faithfully with Him, and diligently seek Him.Key Sermon Movements1. Faith isn’t an event, it’s a lifestyle. Enoch walked with God for 300 years, proving that faith is more than a moment. It is a life of steady devotion, consistent obedience, and close relationship with God.2. You can’t walk with God and war with God at the same time. Faith requires agreement. Amos 3:3 asks, “Can two walk together, unless they have agreed?” A heart in disagreement with God will struggle to walk faithfully with God.3. Faith walks. Faith seeks. God rewards. Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. The life of faith requires persistence, effort, commitment, and a heart that remains 10 toes down for God because He has always been faithful to us.Memorable Lines“Faith isn’t an event, it’s a lifestyle.”“You can only live by faith based on your proximity to the One who originated it.”“Faith does not just move my feet toward God; faith brings my heart into agreement with God.”“You can’t walk with God while your heart is at war with God.”“Enoch was approved by God because he trusted in the character of God and the consistency of God.”Reflection QuestionsWould God consider me faithful?Where does my allegiance truly lie?Am I trying to walk with God while disagreeing with God?Is my faith only active when I need something, or has it become my lifestyle?Am I diligently seeking God, or casually approaching Him?Closing ThoughtEnoch’s life reminds us that the walk is the witness. He did not have to be known for much else because Scripture tells us what mattered most: he walked with God, pleased God, and was rewarded by God. A life leaned into Christ is a life that leads to true life — both now and in the kingdom inheritance to come.

Join us as we continue our By Faith Series.Minister Jermain Wilson.

In this Sunday morning message, Pastor Stephen J. Walker opens Luke 7:1-10 and teaches from the story of the centurion whose faith amazed Jesus. Though this Roman soldier had not seen Jesus move in his own home, he had heard enough to believe that one word from Jesus was all he needed.This message reminds us that great faith does not wait until it sees everything. Great faith moves because it has heard the good news of who Jesus is. Through the centurion’s humility, character, and confidence in Christ, we are challenged to believe Jesus at His word.When doubt creeps in, when life feels uncertain, and when we are desperate for God to move, great faith bows low, asks boldly, and believes firmly: “Lord, just say the word.”Scripture: Luke 7:1-10

1 Samuel 8Before Israel ever received a king, they first rejected the One they already had. In this message, we explore how a shift in delight led to a dangerous exchange—choosing control over God’s providence. When our hearts drift, we begin to desire substitutes for what only God can be.Key ThemesWhen delight decreases, substitutes increase. Israel didn’t ask for a king because God failed—they asked because their hearts shifted.Comparison kills faithfulness. Wanting what others have can lead us to distrust what God has already provided.Don’t trade providence for control. The desire to control outcomes can cause us to reject God’s leadership for human solutions.God may allow what He doesn’t approve. Sometimes God gives us what we insist on—but not without warning us what it will cost.Key Scripture1 Samuel 8TakeawayBefore God lets you have it, He’ll show you what comes with it.Don’t abandon God’s rule for the illusion of control—because what you choose over Him will eventually rule you.
