The apostle Paul was honest about not being where he wanted to be in the Christian life—and maybe you can relate. But he refused to stay stuck where he was. In this next message from his "Lessons from Philippians series, Keep Moving Forward," Pastor Bayless reminds you that growth isn't about perfection, but about direction. You'll discover what it means to forget what's behind and reach forward to what's ahead in your spiritual life. Find out how to discern the next step God is calling you to take, stay in your lane, and press forward with all your heart in this powerful message!
The Bible is clear that all fall short of God's perfect standard, so what are you trusting in to be made right? In his message, "Lessons from Philippians: How to Be Made Right with God," Pastor Bayless explains that righteousness comes when faith in Jesus Christ alone makes us right with God. You'll discover how it's not religion, but relationship—an intimate, personal knowledge of Christ—that makes you right with Him. Learn to lay aside self-reliance and draw closer to Christ, where true life is found, in this encouraging message!
What do you do when sin, guilt, or shame make God feel distant—or leave you wondering if you're even welcome in His presence? In his message "A Prayer of Repentance," Pastor Harrison Conley explores Psalm 51, one of the most vulnerable, honest, and raw prayers in the Bible. You'll discover how this Psalm is a blueprint for how to approach God when you feel like you can't. And you'll find out how repentance begins with God's character, not our worthiness. Find out how you can approach God honestly and let Him restore the joy of your salvation. Listen today!
Tough times are inevitable in life. So how can you rejoice when circumstances are hard? In "Lessons from Philippians: Unspeakable Joy," Pastor Bayless explains that true joy does not depend on what's happening around us, but on the Lord. You'll discover why that truth is the safest place to be as a believer. And you'll be encouraged to trust in Jesus for your salvation rather than your own efforts. Discover why joy rooted in Christ—not in performance or self-effort—is the true mark of a believer in this powerful message!
Many believers today struggle with exhaustion, overcommitment, or pressure. In those moments, it's essential to lean on God's mercy and wisdom. In this message from his series on Philippians "New Every Morning," Pastor Bayless dives into the story of how Epaphroditus "was sick almost to death, but God had mercy on him." You'll learn how reckless overwork can leave you exhausted, why caring for your body matters, and how you can rest in the promise that God's mercies are new every morning. Let God's mercy, rest, and strength meet you right where you are in this refreshing message!
What are the most important lessons you would want to pass on to the next generation? In this special Father's Day message, "Faith, Forgiveness, Faithfulness, and Fun," Pastor Bayless shares four essentials he longs to pass on to his own children and grandchildren. Discover why unforgiveness becomes a heavy weight no heart is meant to carry, why your word is sacred, how faith "comes by hearing" God's Word, and why God never intended life to be all work and no joy. These four simple but powerful principles can take deeper root in your life and help you leave a legacy that impacts generations to come.
Sometimes your influence may feel small or unnoticed—but even then, God calls you to shine. In this message from his Philippians series, "You Are the Light," Pastor Bayless shows you why believers are called to be "blameless and harmless," and "shine as lights in the world." You'll learn how your everyday choices can preach the gospel so people see your good works and glorify your Father. And you'll find out what it means to "hold forth the word of life," offering the hope of Christ to those who need Him most. Don't hide your light—listen to this message and discover how God can shine through your life in meaningful, practical ways.
As believers, we are called to be transformed. But that transformation can sometimes feel confusing or slow. In his next message from Philippians, "What It Means to Work Out Your Salvation," Pastor Bayless explains what it truly means to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." You'll discover how the new inward life must be expressed in your attitudes and speech, and how sharing the gospel, generosity, purity, faith, and thankfulness all please Him. Discover how to actively cooperate with the God who is already at work in you—through this practical and powerful teaching.
