    Abraham & Sarah | AKA (Part 1)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 24), I look at Genesis 17 and the moment God met Abram and Sarai after years of waiting, failure, and silence. God first reveals Himself as El Shaddai, God Almighty, reminding Abram that his mistakes have not canceled God’s covenant or His promises. Then Abram becomes Abraham and Sarai becomes Sarah, revealing both a renewed promise and a deeply personal relationship with God. What do you need to leave behind to become who God is calling you to be? Through Abraham’s covenant, Sarah’s new identity, and the picture of baptism, we are reminded that God still has a purpose for us. Sometimes we have to die to what is in our present so we can step into the promise and destiny God has prepared for our future. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Introduction and Series Overview(00:02:00) - Abraham and Sarah: Setting the Scene(00:02:52) - Funny Name Changes: Michael Caine and Sting(00:05:26) - Personal Nicknames and Relationships(00:07:41) - Background: Abram, Sarai, and Ishmael(00:10:14) - 13 Years of Silence(00:13:44) - God Reveals Himself as El Shaddai(00:17:09) - The Covenant Renewed Despite Failure(00:18:30) - Abram Becomes Abraham: The Promise(00:23:38) - Sarai Becomes Sarah: The Personal Relationship(00:28:18) - Defined by Relationship, Not Just Context(00:31:08) - Circumcision and the Call to Sacrifice(00:37:25) - Circumcision of the Heart in Romans(00:39:57) - New Names Through Baptism in India(00:42:23) - Altar Call and Baptism Invitation(00:45:12) - Closing Prayer and Podcast Outro

    Journey to Ephesus | Road Trip (Part 7)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 023), I take us to Acts 19 and the journey of the believers in Ephesus. Paul shows us that repentance is necessary, but repentance alone is not the destination. We must believe in Jesus Christ for salvation, and then receive the power of the Holy Spirit to live the life God has called us to live. Salvation is the foundation, but the journey does not end there. As we look at Acts 19, 1 Corinthians 11, and the promise of the Holy Spirit, I challenge us to ask an honest question: Do I have the power of the Holy Spirit operating in my life? God has not called us to remain bound by sin, addiction, fear, or the wounds of our past. There is power, freedom, and life available through the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that our heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. All you have to do is ask. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Podcast(00:00:42) - Paul's First Journey to Ephesus(00:06:16) - Paul meets Christians in Ephesus(00:11:10) - Paul: Repentance is Incomplete(00:17:24) - What Must I Do to Be Saved?(00:22:29) - Christ's Communion(00:25:59) - Communion(00:28:54) - The Power of the Holy Spirit in Ephesus(00:33:48) - The Journey from the Savion to Ephesus(00:38:49) - Free from bondage(00:43:36) - The Journey to Ephesus

    Journey to Macedonia | Road Trip (Part 6)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 022), I take you to Acts 16 and the journey of Paul and Silas to Macedonia. Even after being beaten, imprisoned, and chained, they chose to pray and worship God at midnight. What happened next reminds us that true worship is always transformational. Worship can transform the atmosphere around us, transform the people we are praying for, and transform us in the middle of our own trials. Maybe you feel like you are in a cave or a difficult season right now. My prayer is that this message will remind you that your circumstances do not have to determine your worship. As we focus on God, He can bring transformation where we need it most. Worship transforms everything. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - PODCAST(00:00:42) - Journey to Macedonia(00:01:54) - The Brain of Apple Fans(00:04:54) - Wonders of the World(00:07:21) - What of Wonders?(00:07:56) - Paul and Silas(00:10:20) - Worship Transforms the Atmosphere(00:15:34) - Wonders of the World(00:16:23) - Wonders of the World(00:21:10) - Worship Transforms Us(00:25:14) - What David Knew in That Cave(00:27:28) - What is True Worship?(00:29:59) - Wonders of the World(00:32:55) - Worship

    Journey to Caesarea Philippi | Road Trip (Part 5)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 021), I take us on the journey to Caesarea Philippi in Matthew 16 and ask the most important question we can ever answer: Who do you say Jesus is? The world will try to reshape Jesus into whatever fits our beliefs, desires, or worldview, while legalism tells us that His grace is not enough. But Jesus is not who we make Him to be. He is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and Jesus is Lord. His grace is sufficient, and His blood has redeemed us once and for all. The question is not only whether we have made Jesus Lord for salvation, but whether we have surrendered every part of our lives to Him. Is Jesus Lord of your relationships, your thoughts, your actions, your future, and everything you hold back? As you listen, I pray this message challenges you to lay it all down and experience the freedom that comes through the grace of God. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Pastor Travis Rutland(00:00:42) - The Journey to Caesarea Philippi(00:02:12) - Who Is Jesus?

    Journey to Jezreel | Road Trip (Part 4)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 020), I take us on a journey with Elijah from Mount Carmel to Jezreel in 1 Kings 18. After the fire falls from heaven and God gives Elijah victory, we see that the story is not over. There are more victories ahead, and the journey teaches us what it takes to walk in them. Victory requires preparation through humility, perseverance through prayer, and faith to move forward when God gives the promise. If you are waiting on God, praying for a breakthrough, or tempted to live in yesterday’s victory, this message is an encouragement to stay humble, keep praying, and believe that God still has more ahead. The same God who sent fire from heaven and broke the drought is still faithful today. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Pastor Travis Rutland(00:00:43) - Journey to Jezreel(00:05:25) - God's Victories(00:11:17) - Elijah's Preparation for the Victory(00:16:47) - Elijah's Process of Inheriting the Victory(00:22:49) - God's Process of Prayer(00:27:55) - Elijah's Prayer for the Desert(00:33:26) - Elijah the Prophet(00:37:07) - Folk Hero: John Henry(00:42:31) - Perseverance in Prayer

    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
