We dive into the story of Zechariah from Luke 1 and the powerful transformation that happens when silence leads to clarity. Pastor Nicole Barnett shares how losing the ability to speak gave Zechariah the opportunity to listen, observe, and recognize the faithfulness of God in a way he never had before.

How often do our words and doubts get in the way of seeing what God is doing? What if the noise in our lives is keeping us from experiencing gratitude and faith?

Join us as we explore what it means to embrace stillness, open our hearts to God’s promises, and live with bold gratitude, even in challenging times. Plus, discover how a prayer list of praise can transform your Advent season.

Advent is a season of waiting, reflection, and preparation as we celebrate the arrival of Jesus and look forward to His return. In this episode, we dive into Psalm 25:1-10, a powerful prayer for guidance and deliverance.

What if, instead of focusing on gifts, we turned our Christmas lists into prayer lists? Psalm 25 teaches us to trust in God’s paths, pursue His truth, and rely on His grace as we align our lives with His loving will.

Join me as we explore what it means to wait on the Lord this Advent, humbling ourselves to follow His tracks—the ones left by the cross. Let’s prepare our hearts for the ultimate gift: Jesus Christ.

Episode Description: Anything Less

This Thanksgiving, as we enjoy family, friends, and delicious food, we're reminded of the incredible blessings we’ve received. But sometimes, we overlook the greatest blessing of all—the grace and freedom found in Jesus.

In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, we dive into Galatians 5:1-12, where Paul passionately warns against adding anything to the gospel of Christ. Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is more than enough to save us and set us free from sin’s power. Yet, too often, we try to carry the weight ourselves, relying on rules, rituals, or self-reliance.

Through this message, you’ll be challenged to trade the "cans of green beans" in your life for the feast of grace Jesus offers. Discover how faith in Christ alone leads to true freedom and transforms us into people who love like Him.

Are you ready to let go of anything less and embrace the fullness of God’s grace? Tune in now!

We explore the story of King Hezekiah in Isaiah 39 and his choice to settle for "peace in his time" rather than seek lasting security for future generations. As Election Day approaches, we’re reminded that our loyalty is to God’s Kingdom above any earthly allegiance. Hezekiah’s story reveals a powerful lesson: true peace requires a vision that goes beyond ourselves and seeks to bring Christ’s peace to others—even those not yet born. Join us as we unpack what it means to carry this mission forward, so that our faith today leaves a legacy of peace tomorrow.

We conclude our series, "Joseph & The Honest Men," by diving into Genesis 42:29-38. Jacob is faced with a gut-wrenching decision—whether to send his beloved son Benjamin to Egypt or hold onto him in fear. Through Jacob’s story, we explore the powerful lesson of letting go and trusting God, even when it feels risky. Just like a monkey caught in a mental trap, clinging to what we value most can keep us stuck. But when we release it into God's hands, we open ourselves to blessings far greater than we imagined. What are you holding onto today, and can you trust God with it?

We continue our series, Joseph & The Honest Men. Have you ever been skeptical of something good, fearing there’s a catch? Joseph’s brothers faced the same dilemma. Haunted by guilt and shame over their past sin, they couldn’t see Joseph’s act of kindness as anything but a trap. In Genesis 42:21-28, their fear and guilt clouded their ability to recognize grace. Join us as we explore how our own past and skepticism can blind us to God's goodness, and how His grace—unlike anything else in this world—comes without strings attached.

We explore the powerful story of Joseph and his brothers from Genesis 42:1-20. While Joseph’s brothers boldly claim to be "honest men," they are hiding a painful truth—one that has haunted them for years. We’ll dive into the challenge of honest self-examination and the human tendency to deny our own faults while carrying the weight of guilt and shame.

Join us as we uncover the lie that traps us into believing we are "good" people and discover the freedom found in God’s grace when we accept the truth about ourselves. Are you ready to let go of the guilt and embrace the mercy God offers? Let’s journey together in this first part of the series, Joseph & The Honest Men.
