    Journey to Midian | Road Trip (Part 3)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 019), I take a look at Moses’ journey to Midian in Exodus 2 and what happens when we get ahead of God’s timing, act impulsively, depend on our own strength, or become more concerned with what others think than what God is saying. Moses made serious mistakes, but his time in Midian was not the end of his story. If you feel like your past mistakes have disqualified you, I want to remind you that setbacks are not failures. God still has purpose, destiny, and a calling for your life. Just as God called Moses from the burning bush in Exodus 3, He can call you forward from whatever season you are in. Through the victory of Christ, we are not defined by our past. We are more than conquerors because of Christ in us. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Podcast(00:00:42) - Journey to Midian(00:03:36) - The Case for a Large and Impressive Navy(00:09:03) - The Journey to Midian(00:14:29) - We experience setback when we act impulsively(00:21:21) - God's Will to Help You(00:26:13) - We Experience Stoppage When We Refuse to Confess Our(00:32:19) - When You Can't Hide Your Sin(00:34:32) - Never A Failure(00:37:25) - God's plan for Israel(00:41:44) - Crucified at Communion

    Journey to Canaan | Road Trip (Part 2)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 018), I take us into Genesis 11 and 12 and the journey of Abram toward Canaan. God had called Abram to go, but the journey itself would reveal what God was doing in him. Sometimes the greatest danger is not turning back, but stopping too soon and settling for a place God never intended to be our final destination. As we follow Abram’s journey, we’ll look at what it means to leave the old things behind, refuse to be defined by the world, by other people, or even by our own accusations, and keep moving toward what God has called us to do. But there is one command that must shape the entire journey: “Be a blessing.” Wherever God has us going, we are called to love, encourage, forgive, serve, and bless the people we encounter along the way. Don’t stop in Haran. Keep moving forward, and be a blessing on the journey. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Pastor Travis Rutland(00:00:42) - Abram the Journey to Canaan(00:01:41) - Thomas Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase(00:06:33) - God's call to go to the land of Canaan(00:10:22) - We Almost Did Die In Canyonlands National Park(00:14:16) - Don't Stop on Your Journey(00:19:15) - Letting Go of Others(00:23:22) - God's call to Abram in Genesis 12(00:26:31) - Be a Blessing to the People on the Journey(00:28:53) - Journey of Global Servants: The Challenges(00:34:02) - God Bless Every Person on Their Journey

    Journey to East of Eden | Road Trip (Part 1)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 017), I take us on a journey from the Garden of Eden to the promise of eternity. Genesis 3 and 4 show us what sin did to humanity—separating us from the intimate presence of God and sending us “east of Eden.” But the story does not end there. Jesus came to give us life, and life more abundantly. Through John 10:10, Acts 1, and Revelation 22, we see the incredible work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to restore what was lost. Salvation opens the way, the Holy Spirit gives us power to overcome, and the Father has prepared an eternal garden where there will be no more curse. If you feel yourself drifting “east of Eden,” this message is a reminder that victory, freedom, and the presence of God are available to you. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - PODCAST(00:00:44) - Journey to East of Eden(00:02:24) - Road Tripping to Mackinac Island(00:06:54) - The Garden of Eden(00:11:51) - The Garden of Eden(00:16:39) - The Garden of Eden(00:22:38) - The Garden of Eden(00:27:28) - Jesus said, I Have Come to the Garden(00:32:20) - You Will Receive Power Through the Holy Spirit(00:36:22) - The Garden of Eden(00:40:05) - Going Home: The Garden of Eden(00:42:42) - Have You Made Jesus Your Lord and Savior?(00:46:51) - You Shall Receive Power This Morning

    Kings | 9 to 5 (Part 6)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 016), I conclude our “9 to 5” series by looking at John 18 and the trial of Jesus before Pilate. In this message, we see three visions of kingship on display—Caesar representing earthly supremacy and power, Herod representing sensual desire and self-indulgence, and Jesus standing as the true King of sacrifice who redefines what it means to rule and reign. From the courtroom of Pilate to the cross and ultimately the empty tomb in Mark 16, this sermon proclaims the victory of Christ over sin, death, and the grave. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 8:11) is the Spirit that brings us new life, forgiveness (Colossians 2:13), and lasting victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15). This is the gospel: not occasional breakthrough, but the finished victory of the risen King. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Pastor Travis Rutland(00:00:42) - 9 to 5: Good Friday and King's Day(00:03:01) - The Oldest Crown in Human History Found(00:05:37) - John 19: Pilate the Cruel(00:07:36) - The King of Supremacy(00:13:42) - Jesus: The King of Kings(00:19:50) - The King of Sensuality(00:24:35) - In the Name of Pleasure(00:25:20) - Jesus Turns the Kingdom Upside Down(00:31:30) - The King of Sacrifice(00:33:28) - The King of Sacrifice and His Resurrection(00:39:39) - The King of Sacrificial Lives(00:42:10) - 1 Corinthians 15: Thanks Be to God, Who Gives us(00:45:21) - Jesus Christ

    Money Changers | 9 to 5 (Part 5)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 015), I want to show you that Palm Sunday is about far more than Jesus riding a donkey into Jerusalem. When you trace the story from Ezekiel's vision of God's glory leaving the temple, through the promises of Haggai, and into Matthew 21, you'll discover that Jesus is the fulfillment of every promise. He is the returning glory of God, entering the temple through the eastern gate exactly as Scripture foretold. We'll also look at why Jesus drove out the money changers, what that means for our lives as the temple of the Holy Spirit, and why His grace opened the door for everyone who had been kept on the outside. No matter your past, your failures, or your struggles, Jesus still answers the cry of "Hosanna"—"Save us now." His glory still transforms lives, His holiness still purifies His people, and His grace is still available to all who will come to Him. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - PODCAST(00:00:42) - Palm Sunday(00:02:23) - Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan(00:07:08) - The Glory of the Lord Has Departed from the Temple(00:12:50) - God's Glory in the Second Temple(00:13:42) - The Ark of the Covenant(00:20:21) - Jesus on the Money Changers(00:25:00) - Isaiah calls the Holy Spirit to drive out the unrighteous from(00:30:27) - Matthew 21, The Blind and the lame(00:31:17) - Leviticus 21:16(00:37:27) - Palm Sunday(00:44:34) - Palm Sunday

    Potters | 9 to 5 (Part 4)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 014), I want to take you to the potter's house in Jeremiah 18-19 and remind you of one life-changing truth: we are not the potter—we are the clay. God is the One who shapes, molds, and forms us according to His purpose. No matter what you've done, your failures, your past, or the mistakes you've made, the marred clay is never beyond the reach of the Master's hands. God is still able to redeem, restore, and use your life for His glory. We'll look at three powerful lessons from the potter's house: why your past does not disqualify you, why God—not you—determines your purpose, and why your heart must remain soft and pliable as He continues His work in you. If you've ever questioned your calling, wondered whether God can still use you, or struggled to surrender your plans to His, this message will encourage you to trust the Potter's hands more than your own. Stay on the wheel, remain humble, and let God shape your future according to His perfect will. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Podcast(00:00:43) - The Job of Potter(00:01:49) - Samuel Bringle(00:07:18) - lessons from the potter(00:12:25) - Clay doesn't decide what clay becomes(00:15:54) - What I Wish I Knew About Me(00:20:29) - God's Calling on Your Life(00:23:35) - Jeremiah 19: Thus Says the Lord, Go and Get a(00:28:07) - Christians: Remain Pliable in the Potter's Hands(00:34:24) - Stay Pliable in the Potter's Hands

    Tax Collectors | 9 to 5 (Part 3)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 013), I take a fresh look at the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19—a passage many of us know, but one that often gets reduced to a man climbing a sycamore tree. Together we'll look beyond the familiar details and discover how an encounter with Jesus brings healing, produces mercy, and leads us to the gift of salvation. We'll also connect Jesus' teaching in Matthew 9 with Hosea 6:6 to see why God desires transformed hearts that extend mercy to others. Whether you're carrying wounds that need healing, struggling to show grace to someone in your life, or simply longing for a deeper relationship with Christ, this message is for you. Jesus didn't come for those who think they have it all together—He came to seek and save the lost. Just as Zacchaeus' life was forever changed by the presence of Jesus, yours can be too. The only true source of lasting joy, healing, and eternal life is found in Him. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Pastor Travis Rutland(00:00:43) - Tax Collector(00:02:39) - Tax Collector(00:03:44) - Zacchaeus(00:06:21) - Zacchaeus the Tax Collector(00:11:10) - A Christmas Carol(00:14:15) - Jesus at the Feast of the Doctors(00:16:17) - Zacchaeus(00:21:59) - Extending Mercy to People Who Deserve It(00:26:49) - Jesus says, Salvation Has Come to This House(00:32:29) - The elixir of life(00:37:16) - Jesus transforms and heals sinners

    Hunters | 9 to 5 (Part 2)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 012), I want to challenge you to look beyond the obvious struggles in your life and ask a deeper question: What if the real battle isn't anger, insecurity, addiction, or comparison? What if pride is the hidden root beneath them all? Looking at the story of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel (Genesis 10–11), we'll see how pride separates us from ourselves, from the people around us, and ultimately from God. But where pride destroys, God's grace restores. We'll also walk through Romans 3, Galatians 6, James 3, Proverbs 14, and the Psalms to discover why Scripture calls us to humility and dependence on Christ. No matter what you've done, what you've become, or what you're carrying today, God's answer is not condemnation—it's grace. His grace is sufficient for your past, your present, and your future. I pray this message encourages you to lay down pride, receive His mercy, and walk in the freedom only Jesus can give. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - PODCAST(00:00:44) - Job 6: Hunter(00:03:10) - Achilles' Achilles heel(00:07:07) - How Pride Makes Us Hate Our Own Self(00:12:31) - In the Elevator With Dr. Oz(00:14:24) - Pride and Self-Envy(00:17:43) - How Pride Destroys Our Relationships(00:22:56) - What Does Pride Do to Us?(00:28:17) - Amenities of Pride(00:30:48) - The Great Divorce by CS Lewis(00:36:44) - His Grace Is Enough For Me
