A Life That Points To Jesus

Guest speaker Rev. Augustine Mathur of Vishwa Vani Ministries in India encourages us through the example of John the Baptist—a life marked by clear calling, holiness, courageous truth, humility, and a wholehearted commitment to preparing others for Jesus. Drawing from Vishwa Vani’s 40-year ministry among unreached villages in India, this message reminds us that God can use faithful prayer, everyday witness, and surrendered lives to bring lasting transformation—both near and far.

Compassion & Purity

Listen as Pastor Stephen Wonbenyakeh, guest speaker, shares about the mission of Serve Africa and God’s heart for the most vulnerable of people.

Responding to the Voice of God

What if God speaks, and we don’t respond? Our response to God’s voice is just as important as our ability to listen to Him. It’s the difference between admiring what Jesus says and actually doing something about it. Responding to God’s voice can be risky, but it’s always worth it.

Into the World

What should the church’s relationship look like with the world? As individuals, how should we interact with the people around us? The world longs to be seen, heard, and loved. As followers of Jesus, we have an opportunity to engage in the ministry of reconciliation with our community.

Mission

As we explore “the real Jesus” behind the many counterfeits we find in society, we are challenged to respond. Listen as Pastor Steve explores Christ’s mission on Earth, influencing how we engage with the people and world around us.

Feeding the Hungry

Pastor Brent looks at a famous and miraculous story of Jesus when he fed over 5,000 people to see how often we are invited in by Jesus to be a part of meeting needs miraculously but are unable to participate when we operate from a theology of scarcity instead of a theology of leftovers.
