What would happen to your faith if you could no longer depend on a pastor, teacher, or podcast to tell you what God says? One of the most important things we can learn as followers of Jesus is how to meet with God in His Word for ourselves. In 2 Peter 1, Peter knows his life is nearing its end, and his concern is that believers will continue to remember the truth and faithfully follow Christ after he is gone. In this episode, Francis calls us back to a personal love for Scripture and a faith that isn’t built around a personality or dependent on someone else’s teaching. In a world filled with competing voices and constantly changing ideas, we need to become people who know God’s Word, seek His truth, and tremble at what He has spoken. This message was originally shared on November 29, 2009 at Cornerstone Church.
What does it actually look like to be filled with the Holy Spirit? In this classic teaching, Francis explores the unmistakable marks of a Spirit-filled life. Scripture describes a people whose hearts are filled with worship, whose words encourage one another, whose relationships are marked by love and humility, and who continually give thanks to God, even when life is difficult. But when problems arise, gratitude is often one of the first things to disappear. We become consumed with what needs to be fixed, what needs to get done, or what we wish would change. Francis challenges us to consider whether making the most of our lives means simply accomplishing more, or whether God is calling us into something deeper. This message, originally taught at Cornerstone Church on May 14, 2010, is an invitation to become people whose joy, gratitude, worship, and love make the presence of God difficult to hide.
It's easy to let the newest thing become the biggest thing. A fresh argument, a new controversy, a detail we feel certain about - these tend to take up the most room in our minds, while the things that matter most quietly move to the background. In this Staff Talk, Rob Zabala shares about a neighbor in need and the moment he felt like he was looking at Christ. Francis picks up from there, reflecting on why God's people have so often divided over lesser matters while neglecting what Jesus called the weightier things. Walking through church history, Matthew 23, and 2 Corinthians 7, he reminds us that the first love we were made for was always the point. He closes in Revelation 19 with a sobering picture of the returning King, and the staggering contrast between standing against Him and being called His son or daughter. When we see God clearly, everything else finds its proper size.
Following Jesus has never been about doing whatever feels right. Today, Francis looks at the striking difference between Joshua and Judges. One shows a people moving together in faith. The other shows what happens when everyone does what is right in their own eyes. In a culture that celebrates independence and speaking your mind, it can be easy to confuse courage with rebellion. But Scripture gives us another picture - one of humble leadership, willing submission, and people who care more about God's kingdom than their own opinions. There is a courage that leads. And there is a courage that follows. Both require us to lay down our own way and trust God enough to seek His kingdom first.
It's never been easier to do ministry alone. With AI, social media, and endless platforms, we can build an audience without ever building the Body. But that's not the vision we find in Scripture. In this Staff Talk, Francis reflects on the growing pull toward independence and why followers of Jesus are called to something far more difficult: depending on one another. God's Kingdom isn't built by isolated individuals, but by a people who choose unity over personal influence.
Jesus never invited people to become more religious. He invited them to be born again. In this message from THE SEND Philippines, Francis Chan teaches from Ephesians 2 and shows that the heart of the gospel isn't self-improvement, it's new life. Because God is rich in mercy, He doesn't simply forgive our sin. He makes us alive through Christ, fills us with His Spirit, and begins transforming us from the inside out. This message is a compelling reminder that following Jesus isn't about trying harder. It's about receiving the new life that only God can give.
Many of us spend our lives asking God to bless what we're doing, when the greater invitation is to discover what He's already doing and join Him there. In this Staff Talk, Francis shares why following Jesus is about more than serving faithfully. It's about learning to recognize when His Spirit is leading the way. As he reflects on recent ministry experiences, we're reminded that God is still at work in powerful ways, inviting His people to walk by faith rather than relying on their own strength. If you've ever wrestled with discerning God's direction, this conversation is a reminder to remain humble, stay submitted, and keep your heart ready to follow wherever the Lord is moving.
In a culture that constantly demands something bigger, louder, and more entertaining, it's easy to lose sight of what truly transforms us. In this message, Francis Chan challenges the modern Church to examine what has captured our attention and affection. He reminds us that God's Word was never meant to compete with personalities, production, or emotion. The deeper issue isn't that Scripture has become less powerful - it's that our hearts have become less captivated by the God who speaks. When we recover a higher view of God's holiness, His presence becomes enough, His Word becomes alive again, and worship is no longer something we manufacture but something that naturally overflows from awe.
