May 01, 2025 Episode 1: Breakfast With Jesus
What if the greatest gift of the Christian life isn’t what Jesus gives—but Jesus Himself?

In 50 Days: Road to Pentecost, Pastor Harry Wilson launches the series with Breakfast with Jesus, a message from John 21:1–14 where the risen Christ meets His disciples on the shore. After a long, fruitless night of fishing, Jesus brings light to their darkness—not just with a miracle, but with His presence.
This story reminds us that we don’t need to perform for Jesus—we just need to be with Him. The sooner we shift our focus off ourselves and onto Christ, the sooner we find true joy, purpose, and peace.

April 23, 2025 Episode 5: Easter 2025
What’s holding you back from believing?
In Easter 2025: Belief Beyond the Doubt, Pastor Adam Stadtmiller shares the powerful moment when Jesus meets Thomas—known for his doubts—right in the middle of his obstacles. Locked doors, emotional wounds, and intellectual questions couldn’t stop Jesus from showing up. And the same is true for you. There is no barrier that can keep Jesus from reaching you with peace, truth, and resurrection power.

Have you ever felt like you let God down?
In Crowing for Grace, Pastor Adam Stadtmiller reminds us that while our zeal may sometimes outpace our strength, God's grace never runs out. Even in failure—like Peter’s denial—Jesus meets us not with shame, but with truth and restoration. There’s grace beyond the rooster’s crow… because His grace is enough.

April 09, 2025 Episode 3: The Battlefield of Glory
Are you facing a battle in your life?
Sometimes the place of our greatest struggle is also the place where God’s glory is revealed. In The Battlefield of Glory, Pastor Adam Stadtmiller unpacks how the cross wasn’t a detour from glory—it was the glory. When we invite God into our suffering and fight with the weapon of love, we find ourselves on holy ground, glorifying Him in the trenches.

April 03, 2025 Episode 2: The Betrayal: The Upper Room Series
Jesus knew that one of His closest followers would betray Him, and it troubled His spirit. This moment highlights a sobering truth—we are all capable of abandoning Jesus in some way, whether through betrayal, denial, or fear. Jesus offering Judas the bread was an act of deep significance, recalling Old Testament themes of friendship and trust, yet Judas had already let his heart turn away. His love of money and personal ambition made small compromises grow into ultimate betrayal. Still, Jesus did not react with anger but allowed Judas to make his choice. This passage challenges us to examine our own hearts: Are we making small compromises that lead us away from Christ? Are we extending mercy to those who have wronged us, as Jesus did? True faithfulness requires guarding our hearts against sin, while true love calls us to show grace even in the face of betrayal.

March 12, 2025Episode 7: The Struggle: The Story of Isaac
Life is full of struggles—physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual—but the key to handling them is trusting God instead of trying to control everything yourself. In Genesis 25:19-28, Jacob and Esau struggled even before they were born, showing that challenges are just part of life.

What We Learn From This Story:
Struggles Are Inevitable – We all face challenges in different ways:
Worldly struggles – Competing for success and recognition.
Family struggles – Tension between parents, siblings, or loved ones.
Spiritual struggles – Wrestling with doubt, purpose, or God’s plan.
Physical struggles – Health problems, pain, or exhaustion.
Emotional struggles – Feeling anxious, lost, or forgotten.
Jacob Made Life Harder for Himself –
From birth, he grasped Esau’s heel, always fighting for position.
He tricked his family but was later deceived himself.
He played favorites with his own kids, causing division.
Letting Go & Trusting God – Jacob’s life changed when he stopped striving and started surrendering to God (Genesis 32:26).
God Fights for Us When We Trust Him – Instead of trying to handle everything on your own:
Romans 9:10-13 – God’s plan is bigger than we understand.
Exodus 14:14 – “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Reflection Questions:
What are the biggest struggles in your life right now?
How do you usually seek answers from God?
In what ways do we make life harder for ourselves?
What does it mean to let go and trust God in your own life?
How can you stop fighting for control and start surrendering to God?
Practical Steps:
Recognize your struggles – Talk to God, read His Word, and seek wise advice.
Let go of control – Trust that God knows what’s best for you.
Shift from striving to surrendering – Instead of trying to fix everything, lean on God’s strength.
Struggles will always be part of life, but God is bigger. Will you keep fighting for control, or will you trust God to lead the way?

March 05, 2025Episode 6: The Birth of Jacob and Esau
In Genesis 25:19-28, we witness the power of prayer, God’s sovereignty, and the unfolding of a divine plan through the birth of Jacob and Esau. Isaac and Rebekah's story reminds us that God's blessings often come with both promise and struggle, requiring faith, perseverance, and a deep commitment to seeking Him in prayer.

Key Themes:
The Power of a Prayer-Filled Life – Prayer is not just a reaction to difficulties but a transformative force that brings about change.
Two Types of Prayer:
Intercession – Praying on behalf of others, as Isaac did for Rebekah’s barrenness.
Inquisition – Seeking God’s wisdom and understanding, as Rebekah did when she sensed a struggle within her womb.
Intercession Leads to Divine Intervention – Isaac’s prayer resulted in God granting a miracle, emphasizing that prayer is often the catalyst for breakthrough.
Seeking God for Understanding – Rebekah didn’t just wonder about her situation; she actively inquired of the Lord, showing us the importance of seeking God when faced with confusion or struggle.
Prayer as a Daily Discipline – Rather than only turning to prayer in crisis, believers are called to develop a habit of seeking God consistently through Scripture, wise counsel, and intentional quiet time.
Reflection Questions:
Why do people often turn to prayer only in crisis rather than making it a daily habit?
What is one prayer you’ve seen answered in a way that strengthened your faith?
How can we become more consistent in seeking God’s guidance before making big decisions?
What are some practical ways to deepen our prayer life beyond just asking God for things?
How has praying for others changed your perspective on their situation?
Practical Steps:
Make a Prayer List – Write down 10 intercessory prayers, ensuring that at least half focus on others.
Identify Areas for God’s Wisdom – Choose five areas where you need clarity and actively seek God’s guidance through prayer, Scripture, and counsel.
Develop a Prayer Habit – Schedule regular times for intercession and inquisition, making prayer a consistent part of daily life.
This passage reminds us that prayer isn’t just about asking—it’s about aligning with God’s will, seeking His wisdom, and interceding for others. Are we willing to cultivate a prayer-filled life that leads to powerful transformation?

February 19, 2025Episode 4: Isaac and Rebekah : The Story of Isaac
This sermon explores Genesis 24:1-4, 10-14, the story of how Isaac and Rebekah’s marriage came to be—a story rooted in faithfulness, prayer, and God’s steadfast love. Abraham, his servant, and Rebekah each demonstrate faithfulness in their own way, showing us how God blesses those who trust in Him.

Key Themes:
God Blesses Faithfulness – Abraham had seen God’s promises unfold, and now, in his old age, he ensured that faithfulness continued in the next generation.
A Faithful Trifecta – Abraham, his servant (likely Eliezer), and Rebekah all play key roles in trusting God’s plan.
Abraham remains committed to keeping Isaac in the promised land.
The servant prays for clear guidance, relying on God’s ḥesed (steadfast love).
Rebekah is chosen because of her servant’s heart—going above and beyond to serve a stranger.
Knowing Your Forsaken Land vs. Your Promised Land – Abraham refused to let Isaac return to the land he left. This reminds us to recognize where God is calling us forward rather than backward.
Reflection Questions:
How does Abraham’s trust in God challenge the way we make big life decisions?
How do we identify our own forsaken lands and avoid returning to them?
The servant prayed specifically for guidance—how can we develop a habit of seeking God’s direction?
Rebekah demonstrated faithfulness through her servant’s heart—how can we reflect that in our daily lives?
Where have you seen God’s faithfulness in your life, and how does that encourage you to remain faithful?
This passage reminds us that faithfulness is not just about waiting—it’s about action, trust, and obedience. As we seek God’s guidance, may we have the heart of Abraham, the faith of his servant, and the willingness of Rebekah.

February 12, 2025Episode 3: Here I Am: The Story of Isaac
In this sermon, we examine Genesis 22:1-8, where God tests Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Abraham’s response, “Here I am,” reveals a heart fully surrendered to God’s calling. This moment reflects a larger biblical pattern of faith and obedience seen in figures like Moses, Samuel, and Isaiah, who also responded with “Hineni” (Here I am) when God called them.

Through this passage, we explore two key themes:
God Knows Your Name – Abraham had followed God for years, but it wasn’t until this moment that God called him by name. Scripture reminds us that God calls each of us personally, not as a number, but as His beloved.
Cultivating a “Here I Am” Attitude – True faith requires surrender. Abraham trusted that God would provide, even in the most difficult test of his life. His willingness to say “Here I am” challenges us to consider how we respond to God’s call in our own lives.
Reflection questions for personal or group study:
What does Abraham’s response teach us about faith and trust in God?
Why do you think God called Abraham by name for the first time in Genesis 22:1?
How does the concept of “Hineni” apply to our daily walk with God?
What are some things in your life that might challenge your willingness to say “Here I am” to God?
How does Abraham’s trust in God’s provision encourage us in our own faith journey?
