    Scrub to the area you'd like to listen to,
    What “scrubbing” means
    Scrubbing just means moving through the audio to find a certain part of the sermon, instead of listening from the very beginning.
    Think of it like fast-forwarding or rewinding a movie, except you drag with your finger instead of pushing a button.
    How to scrub on Podomatic:
    Start the sermon on Podomatic.Under the play button, there’s also a line with a little circle that moves as the sermon plays.Tap and drag that circle left or right to go backward or forward.Let go when the time looks close to the part you want.

    This isn’t fear-mongering; it’s Bible clarity. Jesus lays out the last-days landscape and tells believers, “See that you be not troubled.” Walk through Matthew 24:1–14 with supporting texts in Luke 21 and Luke 19, and learn how to live steady, holy, and hopeful while the world shakes.

  • Episode 31: Lights in a Dark Place
    Philippians 2:12–16
    Paul’s letter from a Roman dungeon is filled with joy, encouragement, and challenge. Salvation is God’s free gift, but we are commanded to “work out” what He has “worked in.” That means living joyfully, blamelessly, and courageously in a dark and perverse nation.
    Are you shining? Are you holding forth the Word of Life? This message calls us back to the core of Christian witness: living as bright lights in dark places.
    Scriptures: Philippians 2:12–16, Ephesians 2:8–10, Matthew 5:14–16.

  • Episode 30: The Mind of Christ — Philippians 2:5-11
    The Mind of Christ — Philippians 2:5-11
    Few passages describe Jesus Christ more beautifully than Philippians 2. In these verses, we see His eternal deity, His humility in becoming man, His obedience unto death, and His exaltation as Lord of all.
    This sermon will encourage Christians to adopt Christ’s attitude — humble, obedient, serving — and it will confront seekers with the life-changing Gospel: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day.
    Key Texts: Philippians 2:5-11; John 17:5; Ephesians 2:8-10
    Application: Work out what God has worked in. Let the Holy Spirit transform you. Shine as a bright light in a dark world.

  • Episode 29: Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth. The Key to Understanding your Bible.
    RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH
    The Key to Understanding Your Bible
    Text: 2 Timothy 3:15 | Ephesians 1:10 | Ephesians 3:2
    The Bible is God’s inspired, infallible, inerrant Word—but how do we make sense of 1,300+ pages of people, places, covenants, and commands? In this timely message, we’ll discover the simple method God gives us to interpret His Word clearly: Rightly Dividing—a principle we call Dispensationalism.
    You’ll learn why this Bible-centered approach has been embraced by generations of faithful preachers and missionaries—and why it’s under growing attack from influencers, celebrities, and theologians who deny Israel’s role and blur God’s promises.
    From Eden to Calvary, from Law to Grace, the plan of salvation has never changed: a blood sacrifice for sin, fulfilled in Christ. The question remains: What will you do with Jesus?
    Don’t miss this foundational teaching. Watch. Take notes. Share it with someone searching for clarity in a confused world.
