  • The Word Unleashed - A New Year’s Prayer - Part 1
    The great English puritan Thomas Watson wrote that “prayer is ... the soul’s breathing.” In that brief statement, Watson captures the seriousness of prayer: it is to your spiritual life what breathing is to your physical life! In other words, without prayer, your Christian life can’t survive.

  • Hardwired with Jeff Wickwire - 01.01.2026 - 03 - Why The Flood Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

    God isn’t going to let sin reign unchecked forever! If you look at the news today, it feels like evil is winning! All around the world, innocent people are suffering, and people have fallen away from the love of God. Well, Pastor Jeff wants to remind you today that there is a reckoning coming. It won’t be a worldwide flood like there was in Noah’s time, but it will be a great judgment where all of mankind, from the beginning of time to the end, will be held accountable for the sins they committed on this Earth.

  • Parenting Today's Teens - A Fresh Start for Your Family

    As a new year begins, Mark Gregston, Wayne Shepherd and Courtney Lafleur encourage families to pause and have honest, grace-filled conversations with their teens. This is a powerful opportunity to listen to what your teen hopes will be different and to offer a fresh start rooted in relationship, not control. By focusing less on surface issues and more on the heart, parents can strengthen connection while gradually giving teens more responsibility and freedom. A new year doesn’t require perfection — just intentional steps, patience and grace as growth unfolds over time.

  • Greg Laurie: A New Beginning - Here I Am...Send Him | More Than Staying Put

    The first word of the Great Commission is an important one . . . and a challenging one. “GO and make disciples.” “How ‘bout if we STAY and make disciples? Can’t we just phone it in. Can we text them? Maybe a clever meme on social media?” No, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we need to go and share our faith on their turf. We can’t expect them to come to church, Jesus expects us to go and meet them right where they are. Today’s talk is from our series of best of messages.

  • Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast - How Does God Measure Generosity?, Part 2

    Wouldn’t it be great to enjoy the“Christmas Spirit” 365 days year? In this message, Chip shares how you can cultivate that winsome spirit of Christmas in your heart 24/7.

    Breakthrough Concept #4: God does not measure generosity by the size of our gift, but by the size of our sacrifice.

    The Christmas Story: A graduate course in generosity

    • The Magi -Mt. 2:11 - Your Money
    • The Shepherds -Lk. 2:15-17 - Your Time
    • Joseph -Mt. 1:18-24 - Your Reputation
    • Mary -Lk. 1:26-38 - Your Future
    • Jesus -Mk 10:45 - Your Life
    • The Father -Jn 3:16 - Your Most Precious Possession

    Three observations:

    1. Generosity is not so much a virtuous act, as it is a virtuous RESPONSE.
    2. God does not measure generosity by the size of our gift, but by the size of our SACRIFICE.
    3. Increasing levels of generosity bring increasing levels of REWARD / BLESSING.

    Generosity is to love as thunder is to lightning: Luke 6:38
