    Three Scenes, but Only One Answer | The Gospel, The Kingdom, The World

    In this episode, we explore Acts 16 and three encounters where the gospel changed lives. From a respected business leader to a demon-oppressed slave girl and a hardened jailer, each person experiences the same transforming truth: salvation through Jesus. This message challenges us to live gospel-first and to see every encounter as an opportunity to point someone to Christ.

    • In with the New

      In with the New | Burnt Hickory Baptist Church

      The beginning of a new year is often filled with goals and plans—but what about your walk with God? In this episode, we talk through how to build a stronger foundation for spiritual growth by setting your mind on things above, putting off the old self, and actively walking with Christ. This message gives you seven practical steps to keep your faith from being just a feeling and start living out real change.

      Key Insights:

      • Spiritual growth requires daily intentionality—you won’t accidentally grow closer to Jesus without effort.
      • Your mindset matters—setting your focus on Christ is the first step to real transformation.
      • You must actively put sin to death—it won’t just fade over time. Confront it and replace it with godly habits.
      • We grow best in community—faith isn’t meant to be lived in isolation. Join the church body and serve.
      • Forgiveness and love are essential—holding grudges stunts spiritual growth, but grace keeps us united.
      • Scripture Focus: Colossians 3:1

          • Jesus doesn’t just care for the world—He cares specifically for you and wants to walk with you through everything.

          • The Wonderful Counselor | The Child is Born

            The Wonderful Counselor | The Child is Born

            Week one of our Christmas series explores how Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor from Isaiah 9:6. This message calls us to surrender our struggles to the One who understands and has the power to bring healing and hope. Subscribe and listen wherever you are.

            Key Take Aways:

            1. Jesus is more than a Savior—He’s a Counselor who walks with you through pain and brings healing.
            2. The root of many of our struggles is spiritual, not circumstantial. Knowing God rightly changes everything.
            3. God cares more about your soul than your situation. He offers lasting peace, not just temporary relief.
            4. Real healing begins with honesty. You can’t move forward until you're willing to be fully seen.
            5. Surrender comes before breakthrough. God often waits for your trust before showing you what’s next.

            7. Don’t Fight God! | His Word, His Plan, His People

              Don’t Fight God! | His Word, His Plan, His People

              Through the story of Peter’s escape from prison and Herod’s collapse, we’re reminded that fighting God always ends in loss—but trusting Him leads to freedom. If you’ve been feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure, lean into this message and let God lead.

              Key Insights:

              • Fighting God only leads to loss—even if it feels like you’re winning in the moment.
              • God’s power can release you from any physical, emotional, or spiritual bondage.
              • Earnest, persistent prayer activates God’s movement in ways we often underestimate.
              • There is peace available in the storm when you truly trust God to lead.
              • You can’t glorify yourself and expect God to bless it—His glory is non-negotiable.
              • Key Scripture: Acts 12:1

                Living Your Calling | Mission Sunday | His Word, His Plan, His People

                • God uses ordinary people in unexpected places to do extraordinary things for His kingdom.
                • Your workplace, neighborhood, or school may be your Antioch and your unique place of influence.
                • The gospel spreads most through intentional relationships and community support, not just programs.
                • Generosity and service are natural results of living a life surrendered to Christ.

              • A Moment That Sparks a Movement | His Word, His Plan, His People | DNOW 2025

                A Moment That Sparks a Movement | His Word, His Plan, His People | DNOW 2025

                What does it take for a movement to start? Acts 10 shows us how the obedience of two men opened the door for the gospel to break cultural boundaries and change lives forever.

                Key Insights:

                1. God meets a seeking heart with clarity, not silence.
                2. Religious actions don’t equal salvation.
                3. God may send you to someone you've been avoiding.
                4. You don’t have to know every step—just say yes to the next one.
                5. The gospel spreads when everyday believers speak up.
                6. Key Scripture: Acts 10:1

                  This sermon invites you to look at your faith, your circles, and your next steps through the lens of purpose. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to say yes.
