What does it mean when Jesus offers us “living water”? In this episode of The Aldersgate Experience, Pastor Jeff sits down with Mark Denton, our Youth and Young Adult Director, to dive into the powerful message Mark shared this past Sunday. Together they trace the flow of God’s story—from the rivers of Eden, to Ezekiel’s vision, to the cross of Christ, and ultimately to the new creation in Revelation. Along the way, they unpack how living water is both a gift of grace and a calling to share God’s love with others. Whether you’re thirsty for renewal, wrestling with burnout, or seeking a deeper connection with God’s Spirit, this conversation will refresh your soul and challenge you to stay rooted in the Source.#LivingWater #FaithPodcast #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #SermonPodcast #StreamsOfLivingWater #GraceInAction #JesusSaves #SpiritualGrowth #KingdomLiving

In this episode of The Aldersgate Experience, Pastors Bob Kaylor and Jeff Markey wrap up the “Seven Churches of Revelation” series with Laodicea—the lukewarm church Jesus warns he’s about to spit out.

What if the very things you cling to for comfort and identity are keeping you from the fullness of God’s intent for your life? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Bob and Pastor Jeff dive deep into the story of Thyatira from the letters of Revelation, emphasizing the theme of idolatry and the peril of compromise in our faith. They illuminate how the early church faced cultural pressures that resonate with our modern challenges—where blending in often means sacrificing our core beliefs. Through relatable anecdotes, like the fear of a mother’s judgment, the pastors urge us to self-examine our lives: What "Jezebels" are we tolerating that draw us away from true worship? Jesus’ words are clear; He scrutinizes our hearts, revealing not just our actions but our motivations.
