POSC Podcast

In this week’s sermon, Pastor John D. Putnam concludes the month of February with a powerful and deeply convicting message titled “The Greatest Act of Love.” Centered on the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, this message reveals a profound biblical truth: the highest expression of love is not emotion, words, or sacrifice alone—but total surrender to God.

Through the life of Abraham, listeners are invited to explore what it truly means to trust God when faith is tested. Abraham’s willingness to place his promised son on the altar demonstrates that real love is proven not in comfort or blessing, but in obedience and surrender. Pastor Putnam challenges believers to consider the question: What are we unwilling to place in God’s hands?

“The Greatest Act of Love” is both an invitation and a challenge: to move beyond belief into complete trust, beyond emotion into obedience, and beyond control into the life-changing love found through surrender.

In this week’s sermon, Pastor John D. Putnam delivers a powerful and deeply practical message titled “Love Takes Time.” In a culture built on speed, instant results, and quick gratification, Pastor Putnam challenges believers to embrace a biblical truth that runs counter to modern expectations: real love is not formed in a moment—it is developed through process.

Drawing from Philippians 1:6, this message reminds us that salvation is the beginning of our journey, not the finished product. While God’s love toward us is immediate and unconditional, our growth into Christlikeness requires shaping, refining, and time. Love is not microwaved; it is formed.

“Love Takes Time” is a call to surrender our timelines to God and allow Him to complete the work He has begun. Whether you are a new believer or decades into your walk with Christ, this message will challenge you to stop resisting the formation and start embracing the refinement. God is not finished with you yet. You are still on the wheel. And if you remain faithful in the forming, He will complete what He started.

In this week’s sermon, Bishop Putnam brings a heartfelt and Spirit-led message titled “The Greatest of These Is Love.” Building upon recent teachings on love, Bishop Putnam dives deeper into the divine nature of agape—the selfless, sacrificial love that defines God Himself.

Using Scripture from Mark 12 and 1 Corinthians 13, this message reminds us that while faith and hope remain powerful pillars of the Christian life, the greatest of these is love. Not emotion. Not sentiment. Not romance. But the agape love of God—unearned, unconditional, and transformative.

“The Greatest of These Is Love” is both a reminder and a call to action—an invitation to receive afresh the Spirit of God and to let His love shape every interaction, every response, and every relationship.

If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to reflect Christ, this message will encourage you, convict you, and inspire you to pursue the highest virtue heaven offers—the love of God.

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Putnam delivers a timely and deeply challenging message titled “Love vs. Love.” Speaking into a culture saturated with sentimental and self-centered ideas of love, Pastor Putnam draws a sharp and biblical contrast between the world’s definition of love and the transforming, covenantal love of God.

Using Valentine’s Day as a cultural backdrop, this message exposes the emptiness of emotion-driven, convenience-based love and points listeners to the enduring power of Christlike love found in Scripture. Anchored in 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Putnam walks verse-by-verse through the defining attributes of true love—patience, kindness, humility, forgiveness, perseverance, and truth—revealing how essential these qualities are to authentic Christian living.

This teaching challenges believers to examine not just what they believe, but how they love. Listeners are reminded that spiritual gifts, knowledge, sacrifice, and even faith itself are meaningless without love flowing from God’s heart. Biblical love, Pastor Putnam explains, is not self-seeking, easily offended, or record-keeping—but is rooted in commitment, grace, and surrender.

It is a central truth: real love cannot be manufactured by human effort. It must be received from God and lived out through His Spirit. Whether addressing wounds from the past, struggles with anger, pride, or unforgiveness, this message offers hope, healing, and a call to allow God’s love to reshape the heart.

A call to reject counterfeit love and embrace the agape love of Christ that restores relationships, transforms lives, and reflects the gospel to the world.

In this week’s POSC Podcast, guest minister Chaplain Jim Bontrager delivers a bold, sobering, and hope-filled message titled “A Call to Action.” Speaking as a chaplain, historian, and servant of God, Chaplain Bontrager challenges the church to recognize the urgency of the moment and the responsibility believers carry in this pivotal hour of American history.

Drawing from Scripture, American history, and personal testimony, this message confronts the spiritual roots behind cultural confusion, moral decline, and societal unrest. Chaplain Bontrager reminds listeners that freedom is not the absence of restraint, but the presence of self-governance under God. True liberty, he teaches, flows from the work of the Holy Spirit transforming hearts—not from political systems, ideology, or human effort.

With clarity and conviction, this teaching weaves together biblical truth, the foundations of the United States, and the church’s role as stewards of freedom. From the writings of the Founding Fathers to the warnings of Scripture, listeners are called to wake up, stand firm, and refuse spiritual apathy. The message emphasizes that while the world may be acting as expected, the church must rise as salt and light—bringing hope, truth, and courage to a searching generation.

At its core, “A Call to Action” is a rallying cry for personal responsibility, spiritual resilience, and wholehearted surrender. Bro. Bontrager reminds believers that hardship is often God’s training ground, that faith is forged through perseverance, and that God is still looking for men and women willing to stand in the gap and say, “Here I am, send me.”

This message will challenge complacency, strengthen conviction, and reignite purpose—calling every listener to live boldly for Christ, right where God has placed them, for such a time as this.
