In this episode, we walk through 1 Timothy 1:12–17 and hear Paul’s confession: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” Pastor Seiber shows how Jesus saves sinners, even the worst, then enables and uses them in His service—all so that “the King eternal, immortal, invisible” receives all the glory.

In this episode, The Missionary-Minded Church – Part 2, we return to the church at Antioch and watch the first missionary team come home. Acts 14:26–27 tells us that Paul and Barnabas sailed to Antioch, from which they had been sent out by the grace of God to fulfill the work they had been given. This isn’t just a travel note—it’s a window into how a truly missionary-minded church thinks, prays, sends, receives, and evaluates the work of missions for the glory of God.

Pastor Seiber walks us through the powerful Greek word behind “recommended,” showing how the church didn’t simply “wish them well,” but solemnly entrusted these men to the grace of God for a specific work. This episode explores what it means for a local church to be genuinely responsible for the missionaries it sends—examining their doctrine, character, and calling, and remaining committed to pray for them and support them until the task is complete. Missions is not freelance; it is a sacred stewardship given by Christ to His churches.

We then step into the scene as Paul and Barnabas return and gather the church together to “rehearse all that God had done with them, and how He had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.” You’ll hear how biblical missionary reporting is not shallow, vague, or man-centered, but detailed, God-centered, and filled with testimony rather than self-promotion. Their report is not, “Look what we did for God,” but, “Look what God did with us.” This is missions as worship—God’s people rejoicing together over doors of faith He has opened.

From there, the episode follows the story into Acts 15, where false teaching quickly follows fruitful missions. We see why a missionary-minded church must also be a discerning church—testing spirits, guarding the gospel, and refusing to support any work that adds to Christ or confuses the message of grace. The same church that sends must also protect the purity of the gospel being preached in its name, measuring everything by Scripture, not by emotion, personality, or impressive stories.

Finally, Pastor Seiber lifts our eyes to the ultimate goal of missions: the glory of God in the salvation of sinners. From Psalm 96:3 to Revelation 5:9, we’re reminded that missions exist because worship does not—and that every church has the privilege of helping gather that blood-bought, every-tribe-and-tongue choir around the throne of the Lamb. You’ll be challenged to see your praying, giving, and discerning as real participation in God’s global purpose.

Listen in as we ask: Will we be an Antioch kind of church—church-sent, church-supported, church-accountable, Christ-centered, and God-glorifying?

Heaven isn’t a hazy dream or a long soul-sleep—it is to be with Christ, and that is “far better.” In this lesson, Pastor Seiber walks through Luke 23:43, 2 Corinthians 5, and other key passages to show that the moment a believer dies, they are immediately, consciously in the presence of Jesus, awaiting the resurrection body. Be encouraged, comforted, and anchored in biblical hope about what truly happens when we step into eternity.

Greater Days Are Coming! – Haggai Series #5

What if your greatest days in Christ are not behind you, but still ahead? In this powerful message from Haggai 2:6–9, “Greater Days Are Coming!” Pastor Seiber walks us through one of the most hope-filled prophecies in the Old Testament and shows why believers never have to live chained to the fear that the “glory days” are over.

The returned exiles in Haggai’s day looked at their small, unimpressive temple and felt defeated. They remembered Solomon’s glory, and what they were rebuilding seemed weak, insignificant, and not worth the effort. Into that discouragement, God spoke: “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts.” This sermon takes that promise apart, line by line, and applies it directly to weary hearts and struggling churches today.

You’ll hear what it really means that our God is “the LORD of hosts”—Yahweh of armies—the One who can shake heaven, earth, sea, dry land, and all nations at His command. You’ll be reminded that your job is not to be powerful, but to be faithful; it is God’s job to be God. When He says, “I will shake…” and “I will fill…” and “I will give peace,” He is staking His own Name on the future of His work.

This sermon also unpacks the rich phrase, “the desire of all nations shall come,” pointing you to the Lord Jesus Christ as the true Treasure every heart is longing for, even when it does not know His Name. You’ll see how this prophecy points forward to Christ’s first coming, His unshakable Kingdom, and the glory yet to be revealed when He returns.

Pastor Seiber then shows how God’s promise, “I will fill this house with glory,” changes the way we view church and the Christian life. The glory is not in gold, buildings, or outward impressiveness—it is in the manifest presence of God. You’ll be encouraged as you’re reminded that believers today are the temple of the Holy Ghost, and that the gathered church is “an habitation of God through the Spirit.”

Finally, this sermon presses home God’s ownership of all resources—“The silver is mine, and the gold is mine”—and His promise to give true peace: deep, soul-restoring shalom through the finished work of Christ. Whether you’re discouraged about your life, your church, or the culture around you, this message will lift your eyes to a sovereign, sufficient Savior and a future that is brighter than you can imagine.

If you need fresh hope, if you’re tempted to believe your story with God has already peaked, listen in and learn why, for the child of God, greater days really are coming—not because of us, but because of Him.

In this message from Acts 13, Pastor Seiber shows how missions in the New Testament flows through the local church. Antioch prayed, fasted, gave, and sent Barnabas and Saul, and the Holy Ghost sent through them. Learn why missionaries must be church-sent, church-supported, and church-accountable—and how you can be a “fellowhelper to the truth.”

Midweek Bible Study: Heaven—Will It Really Be Worth It All? From Romans 8:18, we weigh present sufferings against the “glory…revealed in us.” In this Wednesday Bible study series, we’ll set our affection on things above, count the cost of discipleship, and see why following Jesus is never loss but gain. Clear KJV teaching on Heaven, reward, the Judgment Seat of Christ, and the hope that anchors endurance—because Heaven will surely be worth it all.

Discouraged by “the good old days”? In Haggai 2:1–5 we meet a people who compared the present work to Solomon’s glory—and lost their joy. This message exposes the danger of comparison and calls us to rejoice in God’s present grace, learn contentment in Christ, and take courage because “I am with you… My Spirit remaineth among you; fear ye not.” Be strong, and build—by His presence and power.

Safeguarding the Church #4 — The Pioneering Spirit (Acts 13:4–5).

GOD IS MAKING SOMETHING NEW (All Things New • Part 4). From Jeremiah 31:23–31, 38 we hear, “Behold, the days come.” The LORD promises a new beginning, a New Covenant written on hearts, and a new city—rest for weary souls: “I have satiated the weary soul” (31:25, KJV). In Jesus’ blood the covenant is inaugurated; forgiveness is permanent; hope is sure. Lay down excuses, take up faith, and let HIM turn your life and future toward His building and planting.

GOD’S RESTORATIVE LOVE (All Things New • Part 3). From Jeremiah 31:1–7, we see the shift from judgment to consolation: the LORD draws with “everlasting love” and gives rest to wilderness hearts. In Christ, our ransom is paid, our mourning turned to joy, and the Father gathers the broken home. Will you say, “Turn Thou me, and I shall be turned”? (Jer 31:3, 9, 18; Lam 3:22–23; Rom 8:38–39, KJV).
