Brian and Zach discuss the importance of relationship with Jesus over religious performance. Brian uses the Bereans from the book of Acts and the Pharisees as examples for these two contrasting lifestyles. We learn warning signs of religion that might have crept into our own heart and practicals of how to get rid of it. This podcast is from Brian's weekly Culture Shift zoom calls.

Michael Koulianos comes to speak about Jesus. He reads out of 1 Corinthians 2 about how we cannot rely on our own skills and talents to lead, but we must rely on the message of Jesus above all else. Michael tells us that the power of God has never and will never move past the cross and we must do the same. He calls out the different appearances of Jesus throughout the scriptures and commands us to find Jesus for ourselves in the scriptures. This is so that we can live out a lifestyle of dying to ourselves and living in the fullness of Christ in our lives.

Sam Storms talks about the power of partnering with God in prayer to influence the world around us. He reads about the testimony of the early Church in the book of Acts and their desire to devote themselves to prayer, and how we must also follow suit. Sam tells us that our language while praying must change to match the prayers that God is praying. He gives us 10 reasons why our prayer is so important and calls us to engage in a deep pursuit of a personal prayer life.

Nick Brennt speaks on the Church community and our purpose as members of the Church. He confronts the modern culture which tries to change and reject the church and calls us higher in representing Jesus as a church. Nick addresses the way we isolate ourselves from others and end up in distress and challenges us to engage and take part in what Jesus is doing in the church. He recalls several facts about the early church and calls us to invest in building the church like the believers in the book of Acts.

Zach Nash speaks on the significance of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection; and how life truly is hopeless without the Gospel. He reads scripture throughout the New Testament that highlights how significant Jesus' life is for us. He then emphasizes how God reconciling Himself to us is incomplete without the Good News of Jesus. He talks about how we must put Jesus at the center of our hearts-replacing our selfish desires for His selfless love. Zach ends the message by encouraging us to give Jesus full lordship over our lives and trust in his sovereign plan for us.

Derek Mack speaks on the character and nature of the Holy Spirit, and what He does. He first explains the difference between hearing about God and having head knowledge versus knowing Him personally, which can only come from developing a relationship with Him. Derke goes through the Old and New Testaments to point out the attributes and Godhood of the Holy Spirit. He then explains our need for the Holy Spirit in our life: to guide us, lead us, and bring us closer to the Father. He ends the message with a reminder that the Holy Spirit is our comforter and that He is always with us when we walk through the valleys of life.
