If you are a disciple of Jesus, then the Spirit is at work in your heart, your mind, and your behavior, to make you into a Gospel-shaped person. In this message, Gordon Dabbs introduces us to Joseph of Cyprus, better known as Barnabas. He was a Gospel-shaped guy who consistently chose the upside down way of the underdog. Barnabas helps us see what a Gospel-shaped life looks like.

How do we translate our feelings of love in a way that others understand? The Bible says God has been trying since the beginning of time to translate his love for us, to communicate the passion he has for us so we can understand it, trust it, find hope in it and be transformed by it. In this message, Gordon Dabbs shares the good news of Easter, which is God's way of telling you with all his heart that he loves you, that he cares about your life, your eternal destiny, and that he longs to share a in a deep relationship with you. Gordon also interviews Brigitte Nyiraneza, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, who shares her story and tells how Jesus is present in her life.

How do you respond after you've blown it? In this message, Gordon Dabbs shares the story of Simon Peter, how Jesus told Peter that a moment of trial would come for him. Peter was singled out and sifted like Job was in the Old Testament. Here's what you need to see in Peter, the guy never quit. He never gave up on God. He never decided that his sins outweighed his Savior's love. He found full restoration in Jesus. He found a new beginning in Jesus.

John the Baptist was a first-century doomsday prepper, calling people to repent of their sins and to get ready for the Kingdom of God. God was coming. He didn't want anyone to get distracted and miss their moment to connect with the Almighty. In this message, Gordon Dabbs explains that because we live in a world that is a wonderful place to be distracted, John's message is still valid to us today. It is about agreeing with God about the ways you have lived below the life he called you to and accepting his cleansing forgiveness.

God chose a very unusual way for Jesus to enter the world, bring born of a young virgin named Mary. What was it about Mary that caused God to choose her? In this message, Gordon Dabbs examines why Mary was "highly favored" by God. There is just something about Mary that unleashed the power of God's possibilities in the midst of her impossibilities. It was by her obedience that she moved into the favor of God. Obedience is about stepping into the blessing of God. It's about living in the favor of God. Obedience is about trusting that Father knows best.

There are unique moments when you are called upon to make a split-second decision and, sometimes, the consequences of your choice will have a big impact on the situation. In this message, Gordon Dabbs asks if making the convenient, easy, don't-get-involved decision is often easy to rationalize. But is it the right one? Is it the God-honoring one? Esther had one of those moments where she was called upon to make a decision and she knew that the stakes were high. She chose the courageous decision to put her life on the line and to be a voice for innocent people who were soon to be in harm's way.

The tale of Rahab in the Old Testament prompts us to remember what matters most. In this message, Gordon Dabbs tells how a prostitute named Rahab became a key player in helping, protecting, and saving the lives of the spies, an important part of the lineage of Jesus Christ, and an example of faith that we are called to imitate. Rahab is an example of how your life story can turn on a dime. She reminds us that the failures of the past don't have to determine a person's future.

The world measures how "blessed" someone is by God by looking at the size of their house, their portfolio, or the kinds of vacations they can afford. But the true measure of our blessedness is the prosperity of a person's spirit. In this message, Gordon Dabbs examines how God takes care of us and provides for our needs. Taking the little bit you have and trusting God with it, that's called walking by faith, that's the attitude that releases the power and provision of God into your life. What you have, little or much, is God's gift to you, what you do with it is your gift to God.

God knows you. God loves you. If you put your faith in God, then you never have to battle your giants alone. In this message, Gordon Dabbs tells the story of David vs. Goliath. Perhaps the most famous battle of all time. A teenaged boy taking on a seasoned warrior. But David didn't defeat Goliath. David and God defeated Goliath, so the giant didn't have a chance. The story of David and Goliath is a story that reminds us that we can stand strong in the battles we face and not despair because standing behind us, flexing his muscles, is God Almighty.

There is a positive invasion that is taking place right now, right here, right under our noses. It is an invasion of youth. In this message, Bryan Borden shares that young people are really important to Jesus. Within just a few short years every pulpit, every president's chair, every doctor's office will be filled by someone who is a young person today. They will govern every state and control the media. They will fill the halls of congress and make every decision. And they will lead our churches. Young people are used by the Lord. Young people are accountable to the Lord.
