episode The Journey: Part 5 | It's Not Yours cover

Description

Are you a manager or an owner? In this message, Pastor Brandon Woodard continues "The Journey" series by tackling a topic that often makes us uncomfortable: Money. By looking at the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, we discover that as disciples of Jesus, we are called to be stewards of God's resources. True stewardship means shifting our mindset from personal ownership to Kingdom management—using what we have to love people and push back darkness. 📍 Key Takeaways: Character & Calling: Your calling will never outpace your character. The Principle of Effort: God doesn't care about the amount; He cares about the action you take with what you've been given. The Manager Mindset: "You don't own it." Everything we have belongs to God. The Strategy: Love people, use money. 🎥 Video Chapters [00:01] - Welcome & Service Intro [01:08] - Church Announcements (Kids Team, Missions, App Setup) [04:13] - Sermon Start: The Journey / Stewardship [06:50] - Review: 5 Marks of a Disciple [09:12] - Why money is part of your relationship with God [11:20] - The Kingdom of Heaven: "There Then" vs "Here Now" [13:20] - Scripture Reading: Matthew 25:14–30 (Parable of the Talents) [16:45] - Why character must match your calling [20:55] - Why effort matters more than the amount [22:45] - The danger of "playing it safe" with God's resources [28:35] - The Mindset Shift: "You Don't Own It" [31:30] - Kingdom Investing: Love People, Use Money [34:00] - Practical Application: Give First, Save Second, Live on the Rest [36:10] - Next Steps: Financial Peace University (FPU) [39:00] - Compassion International: Child Sponsorship Opportunity [46:50] - Closing Prayer & Response Next Steps Download the App: Search "Church Center" and select New Post Church for all sign-ups and calendars.

episode Hall of Faith | Joseph | Pastor Brandon Woodard artwork

Hall of Faith | Joseph | Pastor Brandon Woodard

What do you do when life isn't going the way it's supposed to — when you did the right thing and got punished for it, when you trusted God and got silence? Most of us start making decisions based on what we feel instead of what we believe. The bitterness creeps back in. The prayers get shorter. The tithe quietly stops. In this message, Pastor Brandon walks through the life of Joseph — the pit, the prison, the palace — and the one phrase that keeps showing up over and over: the Lord was with him. "True faith acts like God is with you." In this message you'll discover... The difference between intellectual faith and active faith Why Joseph kept showing up even when nothing in his circumstances confirmed God was there How thirteen years of unseen faithfulness set up one of the most powerful statements in all of Scripture A simple question that will change the way you live this week If you're stuck in your own pit or prison right now, this one's for you.

Hall of Faith | Jacob | Pastor Brandon

What if the name you've been carrying isn't actually yours? Most of us are still answering to a name somebody else gave us — a parent, an ex, a coach, a voice from when we were nine years old. And we've been living up to it ever since. In this message, Pastor Brandon walks through the story of Jacob — the heel-grabber, the deceiver, the second-born — and the night everything changed. "Faith is not about who they say you are. It's about who God says you are." In this message you'll discover... Why the names other people give you have so much power over your life What it takes for God to finally rename you How your wounds can become your worship posture A simple way to step out from under a name you were never meant to wear If you've been carrying a name that's been weighing you down, this one's for you.

Hall of Faith | Isaac | Pastor Brandon Woodard

What if the most important thing you leave behind has nothing to do with money? Most of us are working hard to build something for the people we love — but we rarely stop to ask: what are they actually learning from watching us build it? Whether you know it or not, they're taking notes. In this message, Pastor Brandon looks at Isaac's story and asks a question every parent, leader, and person of faith has to answer: What does faithfulness look like when the wells keep getting filled in? "Your legacy isn't what you have — it's how you live." In this message you'll discover... Why faith is choosing God's word over your own fear What Isaac's well-digging teaches us about obedience and blessing How your faithfulness reaches further than you can see A simple, practical way to pass on what matters most this week If you've been wondering whether the way you're living is actually making a difference — this one's for you.

Hall of Faith | Noah | Pastor Brandon Woodard

What if the reason God keeps telling you to do something isn't to restrict you — but to protect you from something you can't see yet? Most of us wait until the storm arrives before we start paying attention. By then, it's too late. In this message, Pastor Brandon looks at Noah's story and asks a question we all have to answer: What does obedience look like when you have no evidence it's going to pay off? "Obedience always costs you something — but it's always worth it." In this message you'll discover... Why God's commands are actually His mercy toward you What it really costs to trust God before you can see the outcome How to stop waiting for the storm and start building now A simple, practical way to pre-decide the kind of person you want to be If you've been avoiding something God's been telling you to do, this one's for you.

episode Hall of Faith | Abraham | Pastor Brandon artwork

Hall of Faith | Abraham | Pastor Brandon

Trust is the currency of any relationship, but when it comes to God, we often find ourselves bankrupt. We throw the word "faith" around in church until we’ve domesticated it—making it feel safe, predictable, and internal. But real faith isn't a feeling; it’s a movement. It’s acting like something is true before you have a single shred of proof. In this message, Pastor Brandon Woodard kicks off our Hall of Faith series by looking at the life of Abraham. When God called him to leave the thriving, prosperous metropolis of Ur, He didn't give him a GPS coordinate or a five-year plan. He just gave him a direction. Abraham had to choose between the comfort of the city he knew and the promise of a God he was just beginning to trust. Your faith doesn’t need a destination to be valid; it just needs a direction. Whether you’re facing a "midnight hour" or standing at the edge of a life-altering decision, discover why God’s faithfulness isn't dependent on your perfection, but on His promise. Learn how to respond with the same astounding obedience that defined the "Father of Faith": So he went, as the Lord had told him. In This Message: Domesticated Faith vs. Dangerous Faith: Why we have to stop treating faith like a feeling and start treating it like a footstep. The Cost of the Call: A look at what Abraham actually left behind in Ur—wealth, culture, and security—for a land he’d never seen. The Messy Patriarch: Confronting the reality that Abraham was a liar, a doubter, and a sinner—and yet, God remained 100% faithful to the covenant. Direction Over Destination: Why following God often means walking into the unknown with nothing but a Word to lean on. Next Steps: New to New Life?
