Mystery Riches
October 07, 2019 13:20 - 55 minutes - 77.1 MBGod had a mystery hidden for generations that He was specially waiting to reveal to His church. This mystery was focused on a group of people that we once neglected. As we discover this mystery together and the riches that come through this mystery, we pray and hope that your soul would be awakened to see this amazing gift and cause you to love your Lord Jesus passionately. Blessings!
One Family In Christ
September 30, 2019 14:02 - 58 minutes - 81.5 MBFor those who understand how far we once were from God, it's an amazing gift to know that God has adopted us into His eternal family! In this sermon, we will dive into what God has done for us through Christ and how that should greatly motivate us to appreciate this adoption, to unify with our eternal family and to give our all to Jesus. We hope this blesses you!

Enlightened Hearts
September 16, 2019 13:11 - 55 minutes - 76.4 MBWhat if we could clearly see and know the hope, riches and power we can have through Jesus Christ? Do you think that would make a difference in how we lived the Christian life? Well, that's exactly how the Apostle Paul prayed for the Ephesians. And as we'll see, it's exactly what we need as well to love our God the way He deserves. We hope this message would bless your soul!
What Is Your Mission?
September 09, 2019 13:52 - 50 minutes - 69.7 MBWhat is the reason God placed us here on the earth? Are we here for us? Is God here for us? As we'll learn or be reminded from Ephesians 1, we are here for God's will and purpose. And if we pay attention, that is the best possible thing for us! Pastor Mel takes us on a journey of what our mission is as people of God, and it's rooted in eternal riches. We hope this blesses you!
Heirs Of Life
September 02, 2019 13:01 - 1 hour - 89.3 MBWe know God is good and loving towards us, but have we grasped that every single blessing, whether big or small comes from His Hand? As we start a series through Ephesians, we'll seek to calibrate our minds to the Truth that God is the One through Whom all good things exist and Jesus is the One through Whom God blesses His people. Our hopes are to be motivated and inspired to trust God, to obey Jesus confidently and to love them with our ALL. We hope this blesses you!
The Great I Am
August 26, 2019 13:17 - 1 hour - 87.8 MBWe have a different lesson this Sunday as we explore 7 declarations Jesus made about Him being "The Great I Am". And we invited our children to stay for this lesson. So using several illustrations to explain what Jesus meant, we seek to understand that Jesus is EVERYTHING we need and want, and that giving Him our ALL should seem obvious once we understand that. We hope this blesses you!
The Tragedy Of Delay
August 19, 2019 13:05 - 1 hour - 90.2 MBIn our lesson this time, we look at a story Jesus told once about being prepared for His 2nd coming. This story is also a warning to all of us and it's something we need to really listen to so what we're confident about who we belong to and where we are going for all of eternity when the Lord returns. We pray this would bless you and help prepare you to meet Jesus!
The Great Commitment
August 12, 2019 13:08 - 52 minutes - 73.3 MBPastor Mel speaks to us about commitment to Jesus from John 21, using a conversation between the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Peter during breakfast. The question is simple from Jesus, "Do you love, Me?" The Apostle Peter 3 times declared that he did indeed love Jesus. But Jesus' response Peter is what the Lord wants from all of us - commitment and love towards Him. We hope this blesses you!
The Stronger Man
August 05, 2019 13:15 - 1 hour - 83.7 MBIn this lesson, we will look at 3 stories and 3 strong men who controlled people and wouldn't let them go. But, thanks be to God, there is a Stronger Man and His Name is Jesus. And this Jesus will prove His almighty power and authority over sickness, demon possession, and even death and free us forever from sin to live for righteousness. We hope this is a blessing to your soul!
The Bread Of Life
July 29, 2019 13:12 - 1 hour - 87.3 MBThe Lord Jesus came to shape our thinking, to give us Eternal Life and to nourish our souls. In John 6, He gave us insight into these spiritual blessings, but for some it was hard to understand and believe. We will look at what the Bread of Life is and how important it is for our eternal well-being. We hope this blesses you and increases your faith in the Lord!
Fruitful Branches
July 22, 2019 13:07 - 1 hour - 99.6 MBGod is both our Creator and our Redeemer. His desire for us is that we bear Him much fruit of righteousness. In this lesson, we will discover that bearing fruit is our chief end as God's people, that we cannot do it on our own, and that the Lord Jesus Christ is our strength and hope to do so. We also will see that the secret to bearing fruit for God is by loving His people. We hope this blesses your soul!
The Great Decision
July 15, 2019 13:08 - 51 minutes - 71.8 MBIn our lesson today, we'll discuss "The Great Decision" from Luke 9, whether we should follow Jesus or get what we want first. Pastor Mel (in spite of losing his voice) lays before us some wonderful truths about how we can trust the Lord with our present, future and our past and why all of that should cause us to go forward for Jesus in faithful devotion to Him. We hope this blesses your soul!
Jesus In Us
July 07, 2019 23:33 - 1 hour - 88 MBWhen Jesus was about to leave this earth, He made concessions for His people so that they could continue and even surpass the works that He had done. So He left us a very special gift. This gift was going to change the world and it just might be the most profound thing anyone can ever experience on this earth. We will look at the Holy Spirit and what exactly He enables us to do, for the sake of God's glory. We hope this blesses your soul!
The Perspective of Forgiveness
July 01, 2019 13:49 - 51 minutes - 71.9 MBIn this lesson, we'll look at a story of two different characters and their treatment towards Jesus and consider what our love and worship should be towards the Lord based on having a proper perspective of forgiveness. We hope this blesses your soul!
The Calm In The Storm
June 24, 2019 18:09 - 58 minutes - 81.5 MBDoes the Lord promise to calm every storm or trial in our lives? We'll take a look at a story from Matthew 8 at a time Jesus' disciples had to learn this answer. Jesus does offer us a calm, but the calm He offers us is actually much more profound than calm waters in the physical realm. Hopefully we will gain a calmness in the soul by looking at the Calm of every storm - the Lord Jesus. Blessings to you!
Be Church!
June 17, 2019 04:15 - 58 minutes - 81 MBWe have spent the last 4 weeks studying the Church and its value in our lives. And now it's time we take what we learned and put it into practice as we seek to scale the Summit of Christianity. We will use the illustration of climbing Mount Everest to hopefully inspire us to climb the biggest, boldest mountain to ever exist - being fully pleasing to our Lord Jesus. We hope this will bless you as you seek to Be the Church!
How Church?
June 10, 2019 13:18 - 57 minutes - 79 MBContinuing our series on the Church, we now turn our focus to how to function as the Church. Pastor Mel Walker breaks down many spiritual gifts the Lord has given and the Church needs if we want it to blossom and flourish. He also gives us several very practical principles from God's Word to help us stay committed and get invested in our unique and special God-given role as the Church. We hope this blesses your soul!
Who Church?
June 03, 2019 14:16 - 56 minutes - 78.8 MBIn our series on the Church, we have studied what the Church is and why the Church is so important to both God's will and our benefit. This time we will study who makes up the Church and why the Church offers us something no one else or nothing else can. We seek to set our eyes upon the Lord Jesus so that His Church becomes our greatest treasure and purpose. We hope this blesses your soul!
Why Church?
May 27, 2019 14:44 - 1 hour - 93.7 MBOnce we understand what the Church is according to God's Word, we then must understand why it's so beneficial for our souls and the Kingdom of God. As Pastor Mel Walker expounds, the Church is BIG, it's God's plan for spiritual/eternal domination, but it's also the best fit for each person who has turned to Jesus. The Church is strongest when we buy into it and embrace our roles. It's important to know that we fit in God's Church! We hope this is a blessing to you!
What Church?
May 20, 2019 13:23 - 52 minutes - 73 MBWe begin a series on the Church. There's a confusion today of what is the Church. This confusion is hurting God's people and weakening our ability to defeat evil on the earth. If we see and define the Church the way God does, we greatly increase our ability to fight the devil as well as unlock the greatest purpose and plan any of us could ever find. What is the Church? Let's find out together...
The Thankless Nine
May 13, 2019 13:18 - 45 minutes - 62.5 MBIn this lesson, to go along with Communion, we study the passage from Luke 17:11-19 about Jesus healing the 10 lepers. Jesus heals 10 lepers and only one returns back to give Jesus thanks for what He did. So we'll discuss Jesus' posing question "Where are the 9?". And along the way, we'll discover an amazing parallel for what Jesus could have been asking every single one of us. We hope this is a blessing to your soul!
The Final Fight
May 06, 2019 13:48 - 58 minutes - 80.9 MBIn many respects, the Christian life is a battle. And we all have one common enemy in that battle, the devil. This devil is doing all he can to destroy us, and so God (through 1 Peter 5:8-14) gives us some very important instructions for how to fight and win this battle against our spiritual foe. We hope you would pay very close attention to these truths and arm yourselves today against evil. If we're in Christ, we fight as Victors! Blessings!
A Proper Church
April 29, 2019 13:20 - 1 hour - 85.8 MBDoing some things in an improper fashion can still bring about a desired result, but operating a church in an improper fashion will result in total failure. In this special message, Pastor Todd and Pastor Mel tag-team to discuss how to have and lead a church the proper way; the way God has designed it, by following our Chief Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ. We truly hope this blesses your soul!

April 22, 2019 13:58 - 48 minutes - 67.6 MBDeath comes for all us on this earth, and it haunts us and terrorizes us. But what if there was a cure for death? What if death could be changed from the thing that spoils our lives, to a door to Eternal Life? Well, thankfully there is a cure for death and He's a person. We will explore this Cure and seek to change our perspective on how we live here on the earth by getting this Cure. We hope this blesses your soul!

If we desire to glorify God with our lives, we must be living for these 3 things. We hope this is a blessing to your soul!
Follow The Leader
April 01, 2019 14:29 - 51 minutes - 71.9 MBIn Christianity we have a clear cut Leader. Our Leader, the Lord Jesus Christ came to earth to die for our sins as well as show us the way to go. We will learn from 1 Peter that suffering is a part of the Christian journey and why it's so important that we follow the Leader. Hope this is a blessing to you!
Good Vs Evil
March 25, 2019 13:32 - 56 minutes - 78 MBWe all know in the movies that good eventually beats evil, but what about in the real world? Is it better to side with good in the face of evil? The reasons in favor of striving to do good are profound. We'll discuss from 1 Peter 3 why being on God's team, the good team is the only place we ever want to be. This world needs more good examples of our Lord Jesus. I pray it's a blessing to you!
The Beauty Value And Confidence Of Godly Wives
March 18, 2019 13:13 - 55 minutes - 76.8 MBUnfortunately, in our day and age, the role of wives and women has been grossly undervalued. The Lord wants us all to begin valuing the beautiful role of wives, because they are a precious gift from Him to husbands. The beauty, value and confidence of a godly wife will live on into eternity, and that is a beauty worth investing in. And as usual, the Lord Jesus is the reason and motivation to do so. I pray this blesses your soul!
Honorable Humble Citizens Of Heaven
March 04, 2019 16:48 - 57 minutes - 79.9 MBBeing born of God is special privilege, and sometimes we lose sight of how special it really is to be a citizen of Heaven. The Apostle Peter seeks to exhort us to live honorably and humbly upon this earth and make ourselves willing servants of God because of all we have waiting for us in Heaven, and even to simply represent God well upon this earth for Christ's sake. Hope this lesson is a blessing to you!
The Precious Stone Of Life
February 24, 2019 21:35 - 58 minutes - 80.5 MBWhat is it about Jesus? What makes Him so polarizing? Some follow Jesus with their entire lives unto death and some wanted to kill Him every time He spoke. We will study from 1 Peter 2:4-12 on why Jesus is God's Chief Cornerstone and if we believe in Him, our Precious Stone of Life. Hope this is a blessing to you!
Reasons For Making The Bible A Priority
February 17, 2019 20:40 - 49 minutes - 68.7 MBIt's hard to overestimate the value of God's Word, but it's very easy to underestimate it. Pastor Mel speaks to us from 1 Peter on why it's so crucial to make God's Word a priority in our lives. This is a very practical look at how God's Word changes our lives for eternity. Hope it's a blessing to you!
Our Glorious Salvation

God's Owner Manual
January 14, 2019 15:50 - 54 minutes - 76 MBIn this life of uncertainty and suffering, we need something that has real answers and something that can help us know what God expects from us.

Blessings!
The Final Test
January 07, 2019 15:03 - 59 minutes - 83.1 MBAs we finish studying the book of 1 John, we look at John's Final Test for us. The test is cumulative - if we pass this test, we pass them all. Once again, the goal is for eternal confidence. Thank you, Jesus! Hope it's a blessing to you!
