October 26 Is This Part of the Ministry, Too? - Season 5, Episode 123
Is a church picnic merely fun after the real ministry is over, or something more? Many believers quietly divide life into spiritual activities and everything else. Preaching on the morning of the church's fall festival, Pastor Dorrell turns to Joshua 4, where God commanded twelve memorial stones so children would one day ask what the Lord had done. Drawing also from Acts 2 and Colossians 2, he shows that God uses shared memories to pass faith to the next generation, fellowship to turn a congregation into a family, and love to knit hearts together. Listeners are challenged to widen their circle, learn names, and treat ordinary time together as part of the ministry, too.

October 26 Colossians | Put on Christ - Season 5, Episode 122
Can a person change their habits without changing their heart? It is possible to learn religious language, attend church faithfully, and still be ruled by pride, bitterness, and anger. In Colossians 3:10-17, Paul shows that the Christian life is not a fresh coat of paint on a rotten fence but a new identity worked from the inside out. Because believers have put on the new man, renewed by the Word of God, their thinking must change before their conduct can, and that renewed mind is seen in mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering, forgiveness, and love. Listeners are challenged to stop excusing their behavior, let the word of Christ dwell in them richly, and do everything under the authority of Jesus' name.

October 19 Thanksgiving | The Theology of Thanksgiving - Season 5, Episode 121
Why do we complain so easily and give thanks so rarely, even after God has answered the very prayers we once prayed? Opening a five-part series on Thanksgiving, Pastor Dorrell turns to Colossians 2:6-7 and confronts grumbling as more than a harmless habit: it is spiritual forgetfulness and a quiet accusation against God's goodness. Biblical thanksgiving is rooted in what Christ has already done, established against the entitlement that blinds us to grace, and meant to overflow. When gratitude grows, complaining loses its oxygen and joy follows. Listeners are challenged to trade the lens of scarcity for the lens of grace, starve their grumbling, and begin each day thanking God for who He is and what He has done.

October 19 James | Where Does Fighting Come From - Season 5, Episode 120
Why do the same arguments keep erupting at the kitchen table, in the car, and at church, no matter how often the circumstances change? Preaching from James 4:1-10, Pastor Dorrell confronts our instinct to blame the people around us and traces conflict to its real source: runaway desires warring within the heart. He shows how selfish wanting turns into frustration, unmet expectations, and prayers asked amiss, setting off a war within ourselves, a war with others, and even a war with God, who resists the proud. Yet God gives more grace to the humble. Listeners are challenged to name the desire being blocked, submit to God, wave the white flag first, and draw near to the One who promises to draw near to them.

October 15 Colossians | The Old Version is Gone - Season 5, Episode 119
Why do so many believers who know they are forgiven still give quiet room to lust, greed, bitter words, and half-truths? In this message from Colossians 3:5-9, Pastor Dorrell examines Paul's call to mortify the appetites of the old nature and put off anger, wrath, malice, slander, filthy speech, and lying. Because the believer has died and risen with Christ, the old version is gone, and no Christian can make peace with the very sins that nailed the Savior to the cross. Obedience does not earn God's approval; it reflects a grace already received. Listeners are challenged to starve the supply lines of temptation, seek accountability, and rely on the Holy Spirit so their new identity shows up at home, at work, and in every conversation.

October 12 Elijah | Burn the Ships & Don’t Quit - Season 5, Episode 118
Why do so many good commitments, to church, marriage, ministry, or work, quietly collapse the moment they become difficult? In this message from 1 Kings 19:19-21, Pastor Dorrell examines the calling of Elisha, a prosperous farmer who answered Elijah's mantle by slaughtering his oxen, burning his plowing equipment, and giving the meat away. By destroying his means of return, Elisha secured his dedication not on a passing feeling but on the removal of every plan B. The sermon confronts a culture of easy quitting and shows that the greatest threat to faithfulness is often the safety net we keep behind us. Listeners are challenged to finish the small things they start, weigh their commitments carefully, and refuse to let retreat remain an option in following Christ.

October 12 James | Wisdom From Above - Season 5, Episode 117
Why does a generation with more information than any before still struggle to raise children, manage money, and keep relationships whole? In this message from James 3:13-18, Pastor Dorrell confronts the gap between knowledge and wisdom, showing that true wisdom is proven not by what we say but by how we live. Earthly wisdom, rooted in envy and self-interest and often dressed up as savvy cultural advice, produces confusion and every evil work, while wisdom from above is pure, peaceable, gentle, merciful, and sincere. Listeners are challenged to examine the source of their behavior, reject the world's counsel for the Word of God, and become peacemakers whose Monday practice matches their Sunday profession before a watching world.

October 12 Colossians | Our Identity in Christ - Season 5, Episode 116
Why do so many believers know they belong to Christ yet keep living at the mercy of their feelings, frustrations, and old habits? In this message from Colossians 3:1-4, Pastor Dorrell shows that Paul begins with identity before conduct: the believer has died, been raised, and now has a life hidden with Christ in God. Because that union is real rather than metaphorical, Christians are called to seek and set their minds on Christ enthroned, letting renewed thinking retrain the heart over time, like a thermostat that sets the climate instead of merely reflecting it. Listeners are challenged to reckon their position in Christ daily, govern the space between stimulus and response, and live now in light of Christ's appearing, displaying to a watching world a reality it cannot see.

October 05 Elijah | God Is Still At Work - Season 5, Episode 115
What happens when a faithful servant reaches the end of himself? Fresh from fire on Mount Carmel, Elijah sits alone under a juniper tree, praying to die. Preaching from 1 Kings 19, Pastor Andrew Calabrese shows how God meets His weary prophet with food and rest, speaks to him in a still small voice, and reveals a work far larger than Elijah could see. Using a poster board with a small window cut through it, he illustrates how a limited perspective breeds despair, while God sees the whole picture, including seven thousand who never bowed to Baal. Listeners are challenged to receive God's care, listen to His Word, and take the next faithful step, trusting that God is still at work.

October 05 James | Taming the Tongue - Season 5, Episode 114
Talk may be cheap, but are our words ever truly harmless? Preaching from James 3:1-12, Pastor Dorrell examines the disproportionate power of the tongue: a small bit that turns a horse, a small helm that steers a ship, a single spark that sets a forest ablaze. He confronts the hypocrisy of blessing God while cursing people made in His image, and he applies James's warning to the words we type and post online, where every reader makes us a teacher with greater accountability. Because the tongue is only the bucket and the heart is the well, real change must begin within. Listeners are challenged to filter their words, speak life into their homes and church, and bring every thought captive to Christ.
