Have you ever questioned which parts of God's Word still apply today? In this thought-provoking message, we confront the fundamental question that has echoed through centuries: "Who has believed our report?"

Drawing from Isaiah 53's prophetic vision, we examine five crucial aspects of God's revealed truth that demand our complete acceptance rather than selective belief. The sermon challenges us to consider whether we truly believe God's report concerning salvation through Jesus alone, the continuing reality of spiritual gifts, divine healing, answered prayer, and the five-fold ministry.

The teaching presents a powerful case that Scripture comes not through private interpretation but through divine inspiration. "Men spoke from God, by the Holy Ghost," ensuring the Bible's perfect reliability in its original form. This foundation sets the stage for examining our faith in each key area.

Most compelling is the balanced approach to divine healing, where we learn that "all healing is divine to a believer," whether through medical professionals or supernatural intervention. This perspective bridges the false divide between "natural" and "spiritual" healing, recognizing God works through multiple channels to restore His people.

Particularly challenging is the examination of church practice through the lens of 1 Corinthians 14:26, revealing that biblical church gatherings should include not just teaching and worship, but also spiritual manifestations—a component many modern churches have abandoned.

The message culminates in worship celebrating that our God is able—capable of doing "exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think." If you've struggled with partial belief or selective application of Scripture, this message offers a clarifying call to embrace God's complete report.

Have you ever wondered what invisible chains might be holding you back in your spiritual life? In this powerful, heart-searching message, Pastor Bob delivers a challenging but desperately needed wake-up call to believers who may be living with one foot in the church and another in secret bondage.

Drawing from Isaiah 52, we explore the profound concept of the "daughter of Zion" – representing modern Christians who maintain religious appearances while inwardly struggling with unbelief or hidden sin. The startling truth? We weren't captured or forced into spiritual slavery – we sold ourselves "for nothing" (the Hebrew word "chinem" meaning to stoop low before an inferior). Through cautionary tales of fallen ministers and biblical examples like Peter, Jacob, and Jonah, we discover how deceptive sin can be, taking us further than we intended to go and costing more than we planned to pay.

But here's the beautiful news that brings tears to many eyes: God's response to our self-imposed bondage isn't condemnation but restoration. "Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion!" Like Jesus preparing breakfast for Peter after his denial, our Father approaches us with grace, addressing the root issues while offering complete healing. The message reaches its powerful climax with the declaration that "you sold yourself for nothing, but you will be redeemed without cost."

If something has you bound – a secret struggle, an element of doubt, or a besetting sin – freedom is available right now. You need not remain chained one minute longer. Take that journey to the cross where every shackle will fall, and discover what it truly means to "shake yourself from the dust" and rise into the fullness of who God created you to be.

Are you living in a "used to" Christianity? Perhaps you've heard stories about how the power of God once fell in mighty ways, how healings happened, and how believers were transformed by supernatural encounters—but all of it feels like ancient history rather than present reality.

The baptism in the Holy Spirit represents God's ongoing gift to His church—not a historical footnote, but a living, powerful experience available to every believer today. Like a master musician who can transform random, discordant notes into a beautiful sonata, the Holy Spirit takes our chaotic, broken lives and creates something magnificent when we receive His fullness.

This teaching explores the scriptural foundation for the baptism in the Holy Spirit, tracing its roots through both Old and New Testaments. While all believers receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, Scripture clearly establishes a distinct, subsequent experience that Jesus Himself emphasized in His final commands before ascending to heaven. This wasn't a suggestion but a direct order: "Wait in Jerusalem until you receive power from on high."

The baptism brings two essential elements into the believer's life: power and purity. The rushing mighty wind represents the supernatural empowerment that energizes our witness and ministry, while the tongues of fire symbolize the purifying work that separates the spiritual from the carnal. Without this experience, we may know Christian terminology and practice religious rituals, but we'll lack the authentic spiritual life that transforms us and impacts others.

Don't settle for going through religious motions or living on stories of what God used to do. His Spirit is still moving today, offering every believer the opportunity to experience His fullness, speak in unknown tongues, and receive supernatural power for effective ministry. Ask today for this precious gift that Jesus promised to all who follow Him.

Have you ever purchased a new, high-tech appliance only to leave it sitting unused because you never bothered to read the instructions? According to our latest message from Valley Gospel Church, many Christians approach their new life in Christ the same way—accepting salvation but never consulting the manual on how to operate it.

Through a powerful, relatable washing machine analogy, this episode challenges our fundamental understanding of Christian living. It's not about fixing our old life but building an entirely new one. In this episode, Ted Gardner vulnerably shares his own struggles with putting his old life to death, admitting that despite being surrounded by church family, he still finds himself stumbling—or as he candidly puts it, diving headfirst into old patterns.

What makes this message particularly striking is the revelation that personal transformation isn't even the ultimate goal of our salvation. While freedom from destructive habits and inner peace are wonderful benefits, they're merely preparation for our true purpose: building God's kingdom. With refreshing honesty, Ted Gardner confronts how rarely most believers think about reaching the lost, often praying for God to save others without offering themselves as instruments for that work.

The episode draws from powerful scriptures in James and Peter that emphasize the importance of not just hearing the Word but doing it—continuing to add virtues like self-control, perseverance, godliness, and brotherly kindness to our faith. These qualities keep us effective and productive in our knowledge of Christ.

Perhaps most compelling is the call to community that concludes this message. We're reminded that Christ designed us to function as one body, supporting each other through challenges. Brother Gardner pushes beyond Sunday morning pleasantries, challenging listeners to develop deeper weekday relationships that sustain spiritual growth.

Ready to stop letting your spiritual "washing machine" sit unused? This episode provides practical guidance for reading the manual, building your new life, and becoming an effective kingdom builder. Listen now and discover what happens when you finally plug in to the power source God has provided.

Have you ever felt spiritually stuck—saved but defeated, redeemed yet overwhelmed? You're not alone. In this powerful message, we dive deep into the paradox many Christians face: having eternal security while struggling with daily victory.

Victory isn't a one-time event but an ongoing journey. As we explore Colossians 2:6-10, we discover that the same faith that saved us initially must sustain us daily through life's challenges. Like Jehoshaphat in the Old Testament, we face overwhelming enemies—doubt-ites, fear-ites, family-ites, money-ites—that threaten to derail our spiritual progress. The crucial question becomes: do we run to the phone or to the throne when troubles come?

The internal conflict between our old nature and new Spirit-led nature creates constant tension. While the world teaches us to see first, then believe, God's kingdom operates in reverse: believe first, then you'll see. Our assignment isn't to achieve but simply to believe, allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us. This produces the fruit that pleases God and brings lasting victory.

We all have "But God" stories—testimonies of divine intervention when circumstances seemed hopeless. They said the affliction would worsen, "but God." They said there was no way out, "but God." And these stories aren't just about your past; there are more "But God" moments in your future.

Whether you're a new believer wondering where the initial joy has gone, or a seasoned Christian facing fresh battles, this message offers practical wisdom for walking in victory over sin, the world, the flesh, and the devil. Faith calls us out of comfort into the unknown, but it also enables us to answer that call with confidence, knowing we are indeed "more than conquerors through Him who loved us."

Have you ever wondered why we're invited to "buy without money" in Isaiah 55? In this powerful message delivered by Daniel Johnson, we discover how this paradoxical invitation encapsulates the entire gospel message.

The sermon examines God's passionate call—"Ho, everyone who thirsts"—as He tries to get our attention like a vendor at a ballgame. This cry isn't just an Old Testament metaphor; it's God removing every barrier between us and salvation. The preacher weaves together Isaiah 55 with the suffering servant passage of Isaiah 53, revealing how Jesus paid the ultimate price so we could come freely to God's table.

What's particularly striking is the challenge to modern Christianity. Have we forgotten what it means to truly follow Christ? The message asks whether we've downgraded our relationship with Jesus from bride to mere roommate. Through references to the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus's parable of the Great Supper, we're confronted with a critical question: Why do we spend our money, time, and energy on things that don't satisfy when God offers us abundance freely?

The most compelling insight comes when Mr. Johnson addresses how Satan attacks our testimony. Like a witness being discredited in court, our Christian witness loses power when our lives don't match our words. "Your preaching is pennies and your deeds are dollars," quotes the sermon from Spurgeon.

This call to authentic Christianity culminates with Jesus's invitation from the parable: "Come, for everything is now ready." The time to respond is now—not when we've finished our business, checked our property, or satisfied worldly obligations. God has prepared the feast; will you accept His invitation today?

The pendulum of end-times teaching has swung between alarmist date-setting and dismissive indifference—but what does Scripture actually say about Christ's return? In this powerful message, we cut through centuries of misguided predictions to uncover a refreshing biblical perspective on the rapture and second coming.

From medieval apocalyptic fears to modern blood moon hysteria, Christians have repeatedly been led astray by those claiming to know exactly when Jesus will return. But these failed predictions have caused many believers to either live in constant dread or completely ignore end-times teaching altogether. Neither response honors what Scripture actually teaches.

Through a careful examination of Jesus' ascension and the promise of His return "in like manner," we discover that the rapture won't be a secret, silent event but an announced reunion between Christ and His bride. The Greek word for "air" in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 places this meeting less than a mile from earth—a powerful image of our Bridegroom's eagerness to meet us.

Most importantly, this message reframes our anticipation of Christ's return from fear to joy. Rather than dreading the trumpet sound, true believers should be lifting up their heads because "your redemption draws near." When we understand the distinction between the rapture (Christ coming for His church) and the second coming (Christ returning with His church), we gain clarity about God's prophetic timeline without getting lost in speculative details.

What would change in your life if you knew Jesus was returning tomorrow? Start living ready today. Don't get distracted by worldly pursuits or compromise your walk with Christ. Look up, stay watchful, and rejoice—your Bridegroom is coming!

What happens when we replace Biblical truth with worldly values? Pastor Jackson delivers a passionate call to return to Scripture as our foundation for life, salvation, and spiritual growth. In a society where moral boundaries blur and entertainment too often displaces sound doctrine, this message strikes at the heart of authentic Christian living.

"This book is a key to your life," Pastor Jackson declares, emphasizing how Scripture reveals our need for salvation, equips us for growth, and prepares us to share God's truth with others. Drawing from Paul's final letter to Timothy, we're reminded that all Scripture comes through divine inspiration, making it "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

The message confronts a sobering reality: "Sometimes you can't tell the difference between a worldly person and a Christian person." Has the church compromised its distinctive calling to be light in darkness? Are we merely entertaining congregations rather than transforming lives through God's Word?

Through personal testimony and biblical insight, Pastor Jackson makes a compelling case that daily Scripture reading isn't optional but essential. "No word, no peace. No word, no joy. No word, no hope." His passionate delivery underscores the urgency of building our lives on God's unchanging truth rather than shifting cultural sands.

Whether you're new to faith or a longtime believer who's drifted from regular Bible study, this message will challenge you to make Scripture central again. Open your Bible today—your spiritual growth depends on it.

The concept of a "remnant" isn't just biblical history—it's a powerful spiritual reality unfolding before our eyes. Like quality carpet remnants cut from the original roll, God's remnant people maintain the same purpose and quality despite being fewer in number.

Collette Quinten will guide you through an exploration into the last days remnant church. From Noah's family of eight to Elijah's 7,000 who didn't bow to Baal, from Gideon's army reduced to 300 to Jesus' faithful 120 disciples, God consistently works through committed minorities rather than compromising majorities. This pattern continues today as mainstream churches increasingly accommodate cultural pressures rather than biblical truth.

The last days remnant church bears distinctive characteristics: they follow the Holy Spirit into deeper relationship with Jesus, choose the narrow gate, die to self daily, and maintain spiritual readiness like a bride awaiting her bridegroom. They hunger for God's Word, demonstrate compassion for the lost, proclaim an uncompromising gospel, and possess spiritual discernment against deception. Though Satan rages against them (Revelation 12:17), they function as spiritual warriors equipped with God's full armor.

What makes this message so urgent? Scripture warns in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 that before Christ returns, a significant "falling away" from faith will occur. Yet amid this apostasy, God preserves a remnant by grace (Romans 11:5) who resemble the original Acts church in pure faith, sound doctrine, and sacrificial commitment.

Are you part of this remnant? The question deserves honest self-examination.  God is calling His people to rise up in these last days as revival begins to emerge. This Spirit-filled remnant will demonstrate such spiritual authority that "no power on earth will be able to ignore them." Will you answer the call to be among the faithful few who change the world?

The modern church stands at a crossroads, caught between two dangerous extremes when it comes to the Holy Spirit's power. On one side, many denominations reject spiritual gifts altogether; on the other, counterfeit manifestations and fleshly displays run rampant. In this powerful Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Bob cuts through confusion to deliver biblical truth about the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Drawing from Peter's inaugural sermon in Acts 2, this message explores the profound declaration "This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel" - establishing that the Holy Spirit's outpouring wasn't just for the first-century church but for the entire "last days" period from Pentecost until the tribulation. The sermon confronts both religious tradition and charismatic excess, providing a balanced perspective on genuine spiritual power.

Why do so many Christians walk alongside "this Holy Ghost river" instead of diving in? Pastor Bob addresses common objections - from "I think I have it" to "I don't need it" - while demonstrating why this baptism remains essential for effective ministry and victorious living today. Most compelling is his explanation of how this experience democratizes spiritual power, available to everyone regardless of status, gender, or position.

Through biblical examples and practical teaching, listeners discover how genuine Holy Spirit baptism transforms believers "from worriers to warriors" and "from stressed to blessed," providing the discernment needed to navigate increasingly challenging times. If you've struggled to understand this vital experience or wondered why it seems missing from much of contemporary Christianity, this message offers clarity, hope, and a practical pathway to receiving God's power.
