episode Do Not Be Afraid | Pastor Jonathan Mast | Genesis 46-47 cover

Description

As Joseph's story continues, Jacob faces a difficult decision: leave everything familiar behind and move to Egypt. In the midst of uncertainty, God speaks a comforting promise: "Do not be afraid." In this message, we explore how God guides His people through seasons of transition, teaches them to live differently from the world around them, and reminds them that their true home is ultimately with Him. Key takeaways: ✅ Don't be afraid to go—God grows us through new seasons. ✅ Don't be afraid to be separate—God protects us through holiness. ✅ Don't be afraid to surrender—God saves through surrender. ✅ Don't be afraid to die—God brings His people home. Jacob's journey reminds us that we are sojourners in this world, trusting God one step at a time as we await our eternal home.

Come Home | Pastor Jonathan Mast | Psalm 84

What does "home" mean to you? In Psalm 84, the psalmist reminds us that our deepest longing isn't for a destination—it's for the presence of God. This beautiful pilgrimage song follows God's people as they journey toward His house, teaching us that true joy is found not only in arriving home but in walking with God along the way. In this message, we'll explore: 🏡 The Longing for Home (Psalm 84:1–4) 🚶 The Journey Home (Psalm 84:5–7) 🎉 The Joy of Home (Psalm 84:8–12) Whether you're walking through a season of joy or traveling through the "Valley of Baca," God invites you to find your strength, your rest, and your home in Him. Ultimately, Psalm 84 points us to Jesus—the One who came to dwell among us so that we could forever dwell with Him.

When God Interrupts | Precious Mast | Psalm 81

What if the greatest obstacle to hearing God isn't His silence—but our unwillingness to listen? Psalm 81 opens with joyful praise, but suddenly the focus shifts. God interrupts the celebration with a heartfelt plea: "Oh, that my people would listen to me!" In this message, we explore three powerful truths from Psalm 81: 🎵 The Danger of Empty Praise (vv. 1–5) 👂 The Divine Interruption (vv. 6–13) 🍯 Sweetness in Unexpected Places (vv. 14–16) God isn't looking for songs alone—He's looking for surrendered hearts. And His invitation is still the same today: "Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it." Ultimately, Psalm 81 points us to Jesus, the true Rock, who alone satisfies our deepest hunger. If you've been going through the motions spiritually or struggling to hear God's voice, this message is an invitation to stop singing over His voice—and start listening.

How To End Well | Pastor Jonathan Mast | Genesis 48-50

As the book of Genesis comes to a close, we see the final chapters of Joseph's life and discover what it means to finish well. Joseph's journey began with dreams, passed through betrayal, slavery, prison, and suffering, but it ended with forgiveness, fruitfulness, and unwavering faith in God's promises. In this message, we'll explore three keys to finishing well: ✅ Forgive & Forget like Manasseh ✅ Let God Make You Fruitful like Ephraim ✅ Keep Your Eyes on Your Future like Joseph Through Joseph's story, we're reminded that God can heal the wounds of our past, use our suffering to produce fruit, and give us hope that extends beyond this life. No matter where you are in your journey, God is still writing your story—and He is faithful to keep every promise He has made.
