The Day We've Been Waiting On

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/826234/fan_mail/new] Summary: Preaching from Psalm 118:24, the message from Pastor Sean Burch, reminds us that "This is the day the Lord has made" is not about a 24-hour clock — it's about a God-appointed breakthrough. Life gets hard. Chaos comes. But God steps into our messy days to remind us that trouble doesn't last. The sermon breaks down three reasons to celebrate: God made the day, we can rejoice in it (visible, expressive joy), and we can be glad in it (steady, internal joy even before the breakthrough shows up).  Remember: Rejoicing is what you do when you see it. Gladness is what you do when you believe it.

The Prayer Life of a Resurrected Community

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/826234/fan_mail/new] This anointed message comes from Matthew7:7-8. In this message Pastor Burch reminds us that the prayer life of a resurrected community is characterized by shameless audacity rather than timidity. Jesus' commands in Matthew 7:7-8 to ask, seek, and knock are written in the present active imperative, meaning we should continuously and persistently pray. We ask repetitively like the persistent widow, seek God's wisdom with expectation, and knock aggressively through embodied prayer that includes action. Because the tomb is empty and Jesus lives, we can pray with bold confidence knowing that the God who raised Jesus from the dead is still listening, responding, and opening doors today. Listen and be blessed.

Who Is This

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/826234/fan_mail/new] This is an annointed message from Matthew 12:1-11. Rev. Patricia Smith reminds us that Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, where crowds asked 'Who is this?' While they recognized Him as a prophet, they missed His true identity as King of Kings. Jesus came humbly on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy and demonstrating His role as the Prince of Peace. Though the crowd expected a political deliverer, Jesus came for a greater purpose - to give His life as a ransom for sinners. The question remains relevant today: Is Jesus truly the King of your heart, or have you placed something else on the throne of your life?
