Episode 31 - Son Of Encouragement

December 9, 2024 • Chris Nunn • Acts 4:32–37, Galatians 5:22–24

In this episode of the Weekly Word, we examine Joseph, who was called Barnabas, meaning “son of encouragement,” by the apostles. Barnabas was more than just a name—it reflected his unwavering commitment to lifting others, spreading hope, and offering support to those in need. Like Joseph, let's also become sons of encouragement. Together, we can choose to be a light in the darkness.

Episode 32 - The Fear Of Man Vs. God

December 16, 2024 • Jonathan Hawk • 1 Samuel 10:9, 1 Samuel 13:13

In this episode of the Weekly Word, we learn about the danger of fearing man over God. We read about this topic when exploring the life of King Saul. Saul’s life was marked by a fear of people rather than obedience to God, leading to repeated acts of disobedience. Instead of trusting in God’s commands, Saul often gave in to the pressure of his insecurities. This pattern of prioritizing human approval over God’s authority led to his downfall and rejection as king. Through Saul’s story, we are reminded that fearing man leads to compromise and separation from God, but revering and trusting in God leads to life and blessing. This episode challenges us to examine our own hearts: Are we living to please others, or are we walking in faithful obedience to God?

Episode 30 - Put Others First

December 2, 2024 • Cameron Colace • Psalm 133, James 4:1–4, Philippians 2:3–5

Do you have a hard time putting others first? Is it challenging to put someone else’s needs ahead of your own? In this episode of the Weekly Word, Pastor Cameron addresses these struggles in the lives of believers and explains why putting others first is not just important for personal growth but also for building unity in the church.

Episode 29 - God Never Changes

November 25, 2024 • Theo Ogle • James 1:16–17

This time of year often brings about many transitions and shifts, whether in the weather, the routines of daily life, or the circumstances we face personally. The changing seasons can serve as a reminder of life’s unpredictability and the inevitability of change in our own journeys. Yet, amid all these fluctuations, one truth remains constant and unshakable: God never changes. His character is steadfast, and His faithfulness endures through every season of life. No matter what you may be walking through—whether a time of joy, challenge, or uncertainty—you can find peace and assurance in the unchanging nature of His love and promises.
