    Everyday Disciple Part 24: The Practice Of Fasting

    Why did Jesus expect His followers to fast—and what if we've misunderstood it all along? For many Christians, fasting feels intimidating, outdated, or simply unnecessary. But throughout Scripture, fasting was never about earning God's favor or proving your spirituality. It was about creating space to seek God with greater dependence, humility, and intentionality. In this conversation, Pastor James explores why Jesus said "when you fast," what fasting actually changes, how spiritual disciplines can quietly become empty routines, and why practices like fasting still matter in a culture built around comfort and instant gratification. Whether you've fasted for years or have never considered it before, this episode will challenge you to think less about giving something up—and more about what God may want to do within you.

    Everyday Disciple Part 23: Lord Of Rest

    Sabbath isn't a rule to keep — it's a person to know. In this message, we dig into Matthew 11:25–12:14, the passage that reveals what Jesus really meant when he said, "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." We'll look at why the Pharisees turned Sabbath into a list of do's and don'ts, why Jesus blew the doors off that system, and what it means for him to be Lord of the Sabbath today. Abide. Rest. Repeat. That is what we mean when we say "Life At God's Pace." Key Scripture: Matthew 11:25–12:14

    Everyday Sabbath Part 22: Soul Rest

    Are you running on empty, always just one more thing away from finally being able to rest? In Part 22 of the Everyday Disciple series, we take a closer look at one of the most misunderstood commandments in Scripture — Sabbath. This isn't just a rule to follow; it's a gift God designed for your soul. We'll explore what Sabbath actually means (hint: it's so much more than a day off), why so many of us make excuses to avoid it, and what happens when we keep chasing rest in all the wrong places. Drawing from Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Mark, and Philippians, this message will challenge you to stop redefining God's gifts on your own terms — and start receiving the peace, provision, and presence He's been offering all along. 📖 Scriptures Referenced: Genesis 2:2–3 | Exodus 20:8–11 | Deuteronomy 5:12–15 | Isaiah 56:2 | Mark 2:27–28 | Philippians 4:4–8 🔔 Subscribe for weekly messages and follow along with the Everyday Disciple series.

    Everyday Disciple Part 21: Faith On Fire

    What if the problem isn't that you need more faith? In this message from our Everyday Disciple series, we explore one of the most foundational characteristics of a follower of Jesus: faith toward God. When the disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith, His answer wasn't about having bigger faith—it was about learning to trust the right Person. Through Luke 17, Hebrews 11, and Hebrews 12, we discover that faith is not simply believing God for blessings. Real faith is developed through dependence, perseverance, discipline, and trust when circumstances don't go as planned. The greatest examples of faith in Scripture weren't people who avoided hardship—they were people who trusted God through it. If you've ever wondered why prayers seem unanswered, why your vision feels delayed, or why God allows difficult seasons, this message offers a powerful perspective on how God uses trials to build a faith that endures. Scriptures:  Luke 17:1-6  Hebrews 6:1  Hebrews 11  Hebrews 12:5-11  1 Peter 4:12-14  Romans 8:28

    Everyday Disciple Part 20: Salt And Light

    In Part 20 of the Everyday Disciple series, we continue through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount by examining Matthew 5:13-16. Following the Beatitudes, Jesus describes His followers as the salt of the earth, the light of the world, and a city set on a hill. Salt preserves, heals, and adds value. In the same way, believers are called to stand against spiritual decay and bring God's healing presence into a broken world. Light illuminates the path for others, not by drawing attention to itself, but by reflecting Christ. Jesus reminds us that every disciple has been given this light and is called to shine it openly. Like a city on a hill, our lives should provide hope, direction, and a visible testimony of God's work. This message emphasizes that discipleship is not about trying harder but about allowing Christ's life to be lived through us. True influence begins with a surrendered heart, is demonstrated first in our private lives, and extends outward through acts of compassion, service, and faithful witness. As followers of Jesus, we are called to help others find hope by pointing them to Him.

    Everyday Disciple Part 19: Kingdom Living

    What does a true follower of Jesus actually look like? In this message from Matthew 5, we continue through the Beatitudes as Jesus paints a picture of Kingdom people—merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, and willing to endure persecution for righteousness. This teaching explores forgiveness, mercy, repentance, purity of heart, reconciliation, and what it means to choose Jesus over the comforts and approval of the world. The Beatitudes are more than inspiring sayings—they are the marks of a life being transformed by Christ. Scripture: Matthew 5:1–12

    Everyday Disciple Part 18: Kingdom Citizens

    What does it actually look like to live as a citizen of God’s Kingdom? In this message from Matthew 5, Pastor Charlie walks through the opening words of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and unpacks the first four Beatitudes. Together, we explore what it means to be poor in spirit, to mourn over sin, to walk in meekness, and to hunger and thirst for righteousness. This message challenges the self-sufficient mindset our culture celebrates and calls us back to a life of humility, repentance, dependence on God, and transformation through the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom of God is not built on pride, performance, or self-promotion—it’s built on surrender. If you’ve ever wondered what genuine discipleship actually looks like, this message is a powerful invitation to rethink the kind of life Jesus calls blessed.

    Everyday Disciple Part 17: Known And Chosen

    Why would Jesus intentionally travel through Samaria—a place most Jews avoided—to meet one woman at a well? In this message from John 4, we see Jesus pursue someone society rejected, shame isolated, and religion overlooked. The Samaritan woman thought she was hiding her pain, her past, and her brokenness—but Jesus met her there with truth, grace, and living water. This message is a reminder that no matter where you fall on the spectrum—like Nicodemus, who seemed to have it all together, or the woman at the well, who felt disqualified—Jesus still comes for you. If shame, secret sin, regret, or spiritual exhaustion have kept you hiding, this message will remind you that Jesus knows exactly where you are—and He still offers healing, purpose, and freedom.
