King Solomon is often remembered as the wisest man who ever lived—but wisdom alone didn’t keep him from drifting. In this message from our Inner Life series, we take a deeper look at Solomon’s story and uncover how a leader who started strong slowly compromised from the inside out.

Solomon had wisdom, wealth, influence, spiritual experiences, and divine calling—yet his inner life eroded as self-reliance replaced submission to God. This sermon explores the quiet dangers of compromise, the difference between gifting and humility, and why finishing well matters more than starting strong.

If you’re a leader, pastor, communicator, or simply someone navigating success and responsibility, Solomon’s life offers a sobering and necessary warning: spiritual experiences are not a substitute for spiritual formation.

What does it really mean to have a heart after God? ❤️ In this message, we take a deep look at the inner life of King David—warrior, poet, leader, and deeply flawed human being. For years skeptics doubted David even existed, until archaeology confirmed his story. But the Bible shows us something even more powerful than proof: the condition of his heart.

David’s life was full of contradictions—courage and compromise, worship and failure, strength and brokenness. Yet what defined him wasn’t perfection, but repentance. When confronted with his sin, David didn’t hide or make excuses—he turned back to God. And that choice shaped his legacy.

This sermon challenges us to examine our own inner life. Are we managing sin instead of confessing it? Hiding instead of healing? Justifying instead of surrendering? The quality of your inner life will always shape your outer life—and God is still looking for hearts that will return to Him.

Watch now and be encouraged that no matter your past, a repentant heart can always be redeemed. 🙏

In week two of The Inner Life series, Pastor Bob invites us to look closely at the life of Saul—the first king of Israel—and what his story reveals about the condition of our hearts. Saul’s downfall wasn’t rooted in one catastrophic mistake, but in an undeveloped inner life that prioritized outward appearance, people’s approval, and conditional obedience over deep submission to God. 👑

As we trace Saul’s journey, we see a striking contrast between external success and internal formation. Unlike David or Solomon, Saul stepped into leadership without a season of preparation, testing, or obscurity. The result was a life driven more by image management than inner transformation—doing most of what God asked while justifying compromise along the way. Scripture reminds us that partial obedience is still disobedience, and Saul’s story shows us the cost of that reality.

This message challenges us to reflect honestly on our own inner lives. Where might insecurity, comparison, or fear of others be shaping our decisions? Are we responding to God with full surrender—or navigating life based on shifting signals from the people around us instead of anchoring ourselves to His Word? 📖

The good news is that Saul’s story doesn’t end in despair—it ends with an invitation. God isn’t looking for perfection, but for hearts turned toward Him. The wilderness seasons, the hidden work, and the unseen obedience are all meant to form us, not destroy us. If we’re willing to do the work now, our story doesn’t have to end like Saul’s—it can become something altogether different. 🌱

In the middle of the desert in Bahrain stands a remarkable tree known as the Tree of Life. With no nearby water source and surrounded by heat, sand, and wind, it seems impossible that it could survive. And yet, after more than 400 years, it is still alive—still green, still standing. 🌿

Its survival isn’t explained by what’s visible above the ground. The secret lies beneath the surface. Deep underground, its roots have reached a hidden source of water—one that sustains it through drought, isolation, and relentless pressure.

This tree gives us a powerful picture of the inner life. While the outer life is what people see, it is the unseen life within us that determines whether we endure. You don’t become resilient by hardening the surface, but by deepening the roots.

In this message, we explore how your inner life—your heart, soul, and spiritual direction—shapes your outer life. The vertical direction of your life, your relationship with God, always impacts the horizontal: how you live, love, lead, and respond to pressure.

Jesus invites us to root our lives in Him, the true source of living water. When our roots go deep in Him, resilience becomes natural—the kind that can recover from pain, endure under pressure, and finish well.

So the question remains: What is shaping your inner life right now? 🌱

As the world enters a new year filled with predictions, fear-driven headlines, and end-times speculation, Book of Revelation 22 offers a radically different voice.

This message walks through the final chapter of Scripture to answer a crucial question:

Rather than fueling anxiety or chasing timelines, Revelation 22 calls God’s people to discernment, faithfulness, and hope rooted in truth. The Bible does not end with panic, charts, or speculation. It ends with presence, restoration, and reign.

In this teaching, we explore:

Why fear often spreads faster than truth in the digital age

The biblical warning against adding to or subtracting from God’s Word

How Revelation completes the story that began in Eden

The Bible’s second narrative: a faithful Husband pursuing His Bride

Moses’ longing to see God’s face and how Revelation 22 fulfills it

What it means that the curse is gone and humanity reigns with God

Why Revelation ends with an invitation, not a threat

Revelation was never meant to make us anxious.

The Bible does not end with escape from the world.

This is the world we were made for.

The Bible tells one great, unified story—from Genesis to Revelation—and it doesn’t end in a courtroom, but at a wedding 📖✨ In this message, we explore God’s covenant heart, revealed not first as Judge, but as a faithful Husband pursuing His Bride.

The Betrothed of Christ reframes familiar passages by viewing Mount Sinai as a covenant (wedding) moment and Jesus as the true Groom who fulfills every promise. Through the lens of ancient marriage, we’re invited to see the Church as the betrothed Bride—called to live with faithfulness, expectation, and hope while we wait for His return.

Communion is more than remembrance; it’s covenant participation 🍞🍷—a moment where we again declare, “I am Yours.” This message asks a simple but searching question: What story are you living in? And if we are the Bride of Christ, how should that shape the way we live today?

This sermon is an invitation beyond religion and into covenant—to respond to the pursuing love of Jesus, our faithful Groom ❤️.

In this message from our His Name Shall Be Christmas series, we unpack what Isaiah 9:6 truly means when it calls Jesus our Everlasting Father. Jesus is not replacing God the Father—He is revealing Him. Through Jesus’ life, words, and works, we see the heart of a Father who is faithful, protective, patient, and always present.

Rooted in Isaiah 9 and John 14, this sermon explores how Jesus shows us what the Father is like, how our lives are meant to reflect Him, and how we are invited into a covenant relationship that brings hope, healing, and purpose. If your picture of God has ever been shaped by disappointment or loss, this message is an invitation to look again. ❤️

👉 Whether you were with us in person or catching up online, we pray this message encourages you to rest in the love of the Father who never leaves and never stops guiding His children.

Was Jesus an accident of history or was His life, death, and resurrection foretold centuries in advance?

In this Radiant Midweek Christmas Special of Escaping Babylon, we go deep into Daniel 9:24–27, one of the most significant prophetic passages in the Bible. Written hundreds of years before Jesus was born, Daniel’s vision outlines a divinely determined timeline that points directly to the arrival and death of the Messiah.

This episode is designed for those who want to go deeper in Scripture, while still being accessible to seekers exploring faith.

Daniel’s prayer in exile and God’s immediate response

The meaning of the “seventy sevens” and why the Hebrew word ḥāṯak (“decreed”) matters

How biblical prophecy unfolds in stages

The six redemptive purposes of Daniel 9:24

Why the prophetic clock begins with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, not the temple

How the prophetic timeline aligns with the historical period of Jesus’ ministry

Why scholars focus on AD 30 and AD 33 for the crucifixion

The significance of Passover, the Day of Preparation, and the “high Sabbath”

How dozens of Old Testament prophecies converge on Jesus

Why fulfilled prophecy should lead us to awe, worship, and trust in God’s faithfulness

The power of Daniel 9 is not that it gives us a modern calendar date.

Jesus was not an accident.

This Christmas message reminds us that our greatest problem is not circumstances or suffering — it’s a broken relationship with God. And God, in His love, sent His Son to reconcile us back to Himself.

Salvation is not found in effort or religion.

Daniel 9:24–27 • Jeremiah 25; 29 • Nehemiah 2 • Isaiah 53 • Micah 5:2 • Zechariah 9:9 • Matthew 1–2; 21; 27 • Luke 3 • John 2; 6; 11; 19 • Romans 5; 11 • 2 Corinthians 5 • Galatians 4 • Hebrews 9–10 • Revelation 11–12; 22

Radiant Midweek exists to go deeper than Sunday mornings — slowing down, asking harder questions, and letting Scripture stretch us while always pointing back to the gospel.

Is Jesus your Savior and your King?

“Repent and believe, for the kingdom of God is at hand.” (Mark 1:15)

Merry Christmas.

What do you do with God’s greatest gift?

In this message, we’re reminded that Jesus isn’t just someone to believe in—He’s a gift to be received. Drawing from Isaiah’s words, “To us a Child is born, to us a Son is given,” we’re invited to consider how personal and intentional God’s giving really is.

Through the powerful story of John Newton and the reminder that only a Mighty God can rescue us, this message challenges us to move beyond self-sufficiency, religiosity, and “playing with the box” while ignoring the gift inside. Faith often calls us to trust God in ways that don’t always make sense—but His ways are higher, His power is real, and His might is available to us right now.

As you watch, take time to reflect:

“Lift up your heads… that the King of glory may come in.” (Psalm 24)

📖 Scriptures: Isaiah 9:6, Psalm 24, Ephesians 1 & 6, Philippians 2

This week we’re launching our Christmas series, “His Name Shall Be.” 🎄

In a world full of noise, opinions, and conflicting advice, Jesus offers something better: wisdom rooted in truth, discernment shaped by the Spirit, and understanding that brings clarity. He doesn’t just give counsel — He walks with us, leads us, and fills our sails when we feel stuck or overwhelmed.

If you’ve been needing direction, peace, or a reminder that you’re not navigating life alone… this message is for you. ❤️

👉 Watch, share, comment, and let us know how God is speaking to you this Christmas season!
