    A Centurion From Capernaum | Centurion (Part 6)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 010), I share one of the most remarkable stories of faith found in the Gospels—the centurion of Capernaum in Luke 7 and Matthew 8. As we conclude our Centurion series, we discover a powerful biblical template for approaching God when we need healing, restoration, or a miracle. Through this Roman officer's encounter with Jesus, we learn how to walk in the balance of faith and God's sovereignty, avoiding the extremes that often keep us from experiencing what God wants to do in our lives. Whether you're believing for physical healing, emotional restoration, spiritual renewal, or a breakthrough for someone you love, this message will encourage you to approach Jesus with desperation, humility, and confidence—not confidence in yourself, but confidence in who He is. The centurion understood a truth that still changes lives today: when you need something only God can do, you call on the name of Jesus. – Travis Rutland

    Julius | Centurion (Part 5)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 009), I explore the story of Julius the Centurion in Acts 27 and what Paul’s perilous journey to Rome teaches us about our own walk with God. As storms arise and uncertainty surrounds us, we are reminded that God often calls us beyond our comfortable “Fair Havens” into new seasons of faith, purpose, and dependence on Him. Together, we'll discover why blessings must be held with open hands, how trusting the God of blessing is greater than trusting the blessing itself, and why our ultimate calling is to love and care for others along the journey. Through Paul's example, we'll see that the God who leads us through the storm is also faithful to bring us safely to His purpose for our lives. – Travis Rutland

    4 Centurions | Centurion (Part 4)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 008), we continue our Centurion series by examining four unnamed centurions in Acts 23–24 and the role they played in the life of the Apostle Paul. As Paul faces conspiracies, imprisonment, uncertainty, and danger, we discover powerful truths about the character of God in difficult seasons. If you're walking through a hard time, this message will remind you that God remains sovereign in every circumstance. From Acts 23–24, we'll see how God protects His people, provides freedom even in difficult places, and remains faithful through every trial. No matter what you're facing today, God has not abandoned you, and His purpose for your life is still moving forward. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Pastor Travis Rutland(00:00:42) - 4 Centurions in the Bible(00:01:57) - Andy Kaufman: Reading The Great Gatsby(00:04:35) - The Story of Paul(00:08:16) - God remains sovereign in difficult times(00:12:45) - God's Sovereignty in Difficult Times(00:17:43) - Paul the Centurion(00:23:13) - Paul the Apostle: Freedom in the Hard Times(00:26:41) - When I Was in Detention(00:31:24) - Paul's Liberty in the Prison(00:38:13) - One 80 year old woman's wedding

    A Centurion in Jerusalem | Centurion (Part 3)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 007), I explore the story of an unnamed centurion in Jerusalem and what his response teaches us about hearing the voice of God. While the crowd refused to listen and the religious leaders argued among themselves, one centurion paused long enough to hear the truth. Through Acts 21–23, we discover that God is still speaking today, but the challenge is not whether He is speaking—it is whether we are listening. Join me as we examine how God often speaks through His Word, through prayer, and through other people. If we are constantly distracted, offended, arguing, or looking for a different message, we may miss what God is saying. This message will encourage you to quiet the noise, humble your heart, and listen for the still, small voice of God that can guide your purpose, strengthen your faith, and transform your life. — Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Pastor Travis Rutland(00:00:41) - A Centurion in Jerusalem(00:06:15) - Billy Mitchell(00:11:32) - Heavenly Hearing(00:13:23) - How Do We Respond to Words from God?(00:19:03) - Paul the Apostle: The Challenge(00:22:46) - Paul on the Issues of Voting(00:28:35) - Paul the Centurion(00:33:00) - How Do We Pray?(00:37:15) - God's Word Through Others(00:42:17) - God's Calling us to a Church in Cartersville

    Cornelius the Centurion | Centurion (Part 2)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 006), I continue our Centurion series by looking at the remarkable story of Cornelius in Acts 10. Through the repeated theme of “all,” we discover a powerful message about influence, obedience, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Cornelius used his God-given influence to lead his household toward faith, remained open to hear all that God wanted to say, and became part of a historic moment when the Gospel was revealed as good news for all people. This message explores the life-changing power of the Holy Spirit, the call to surrender what holds us back, and the invitation to receive everything God desires to give. Whether you need fresh direction, renewed spiritual strength, or a deeper understanding of God's purpose for your life, this sermon points us to the truth that God's power, presence, and promises are available to everyone who believes. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Pastor Travis Rutland(00:00:42) - A Centurion in the Bible(00:01:10) - Acts chapter 10, The Early Church(00:03:44) - Mark 10: Cornelius and Simon Peter(00:04:51) - Mixed Messages: Escape Room(00:08:31) - Cornelius the Centurion(00:14:13) - The Cornelius Prophecy(00:16:46) - Cornelius(00:20:58) - The Holy Spirit came upon Peter(00:26:05) - The Power of the Holy Spirit(00:26:49) - Pentecostal Challenge(00:31:03) - The Fear of Being Filled With the Holy Spirit(00:38:05) - Release and Receipt of the Holy Spirit

    The Centurion at the Cross | Centurion (Part 1)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 005), we begin the “Centurion” series by standing at the foot of the cross through the eyes of the Roman centurion who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus. Looking through Luke 23, Matthew 27, Mark 15, Romans 8, Colossians 1, and 1 John 2, I want to show you why this hardened Roman soldier publicly declared, “Surely this was the Son of God.” Jesus was different in His actions, different in His power, and different in His righteousness. This Resurrection Sunday message is a call to move beyond religion and make Jesus truly Lord of your life. The same resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead can break chains, destroy addiction, heal brokenness, and bring new life to anyone who surrenders to Him. If you’ve ever wondered whether freedom, forgiveness, and transformation are really possible, this message points directly to the cross and the empty tomb. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Pastor Travis Rutland(00:00:43) - Centurion at the Cross(00:03:23) - Decisions that are complicated enough to make themselves(00:05:11) - The Centurion Who Oversees the Crucifixion(00:08:06) - The Centurion Who Stood Opposite Jesus(00:15:49) - The Centurion Noticed Jesus' Power(00:22:54) - Paul Reaches out to the Firstborn from the Dead(00:26:08) - The Centurion(00:31:41) - Access to the Forgiveness of God(00:33:24) - C.S.

    The Communication Gifts | Empowered (Part 4)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 004), I conclude our “Empowered” series by diving into the communication gifts of the Holy Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12: prophecy, different kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues. Together we walk through Scripture to discover why these gifts are still for the Church today, how they are meant to operate in biblical order, and why the Holy Spirit’s power was never intended to divide believers, but to point people to Jesus. We explore Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12–14, and powerful real-life testimony showing how the gifts of the Spirit can transform lives, strengthen faith, and reveal the reality of God’s presence. If you have ever wrestled with questions about spiritual gifts, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, or what it means to walk in God’s power today, this message will challenge and encourage you to seek more of the Holy Spirit and everything God desires to do through your life. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - Pastor Travis Rutland(00:00:42) - The Communication Gifts of the Spirit(00:01:12) - Wonders of the Spirit reading(00:02:14) - Wonders of the Spirit(00:07:59) - Pentecostals: No Shame in Our Tongues(00:10:08) - Give Me Different Kind of Tongues(00:16:24) - A message from the Holy Spirit(00:17:09) - Wonders of the World(00:21:01) - Private Prayer Language in the Gifts of tongues(00:24:45) - interpretation of tongues in the Christian Church(00:29:19) - Paul the Apostle and Prophecy(00:33:54) - Paul the Apostle: Trust God in the Prophecy(00:40:22) - The Gifts of the Spirit(00:45:38) - Wonders of the Spirit Prayer

    The Power Gifts | Empowered (Part 3)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 003), I continue our series on the gifts of the Spirit by looking at the power gifts found in 1 Corinthians 12: faith, gifts of healings, and the working of miracles. Together, we’ll walk through Scripture and discover how faith is not measured by a perfect outcome, but by a refusal to stop asking, believing, and trusting in who Jesus is. From Acts 3, Acts 8, Acts 12, and Luke 18, we see that God is still healing bodies, restoring hearts, and working miracles today. This message is for anyone carrying physical pain, emotional wounds, spiritual trauma, or impossible situations. We’ll talk about Peter’s restoration after denying Jesus, the healing power of God that reaches beyond the physical, and why persistent faith unlocks the miraculous. No matter what report you’ve received or what burden you’ve carried for years, Jesus is still able. Don’t stop asking. Don’t stop believing. – Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:00) - PODCAST(00:00:42) - 1 Corinthians 12: The Power Gifts(00:04:53) - The 3 Gifts of the Spirit(00:05:47) - 1 Corinthians 12: Gifts of Healings(00:07:09) - Heal Your Soul: Spiritual Healing(00:09:32) - Peter the Apostle and the Holy Spirit(00:14:34) - Jesus heals Peter at the Sea of Galilee(00:18:51) - Power Gifts 6, Working of Miracles(00:20:30) - Working of Miracles(00:25:15) - God brought an American evangelist to Ghana(00:30:35) - What is Faith in the Power Gifts?(00:36:45) - What is Faith in the Gospel?(00:41:16) - Jesus and the unbelief of Nazareth(00:43:24) - Healers of the World

    The Intuitive Gifts | Empowered (Part 2)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 002), I continue our series on the gifts of the Spirit from 1 Corinthians 12, focusing on the intuitive gifts—word of wisdom, word of knowledge, and discerning of spirits. These are not natural abilities, but supernatural gifts the Holy Spirit distributes as He wills, often speaking into situations, people, and spiritual atmospheres in ways that go beyond human understanding, as seen throughout the book of Acts. Join me as we learn how the Holy Spirit still speaks today, how to walk in humility, and how to discern what is truly from God versus what only appears spiritual on the surface. My prayer is that this message strengthens your faith, sharpens your discernment, and draws you deeper into a Spirit-filled life that bears fruit for the Kingdom. — Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - PODCAST(00:00:41) - The Gifts of the Spirit(00:02:29) - God Will Speak to All of Us(00:06:17) - The Gifts of the Spirit(00:08:01) - Walking Through the Gifts of the Spirit(00:09:22) - Word of Wisdom and Knowledge(00:10:57) - Word of Wisdom for Paul's Journey to Rome(00:13:28) - What is Word of Wisdom?(00:17:02) - Introspective Gifts(00:21:57) - Word of Knowledge(00:26:13) - Word of Knowledge and Respect for the Gifts of the Spirit(00:30:40) - Discerning of Spirits(00:35:29) - Discernment of Spirits(00:39:56) - Tom Madden: The Church of God in Cartersville(00:44:32) - Travis Rutland

    What Are the Gifts | Empowered (Part 1)

    In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 001), I begin a foundational series on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Turning to Acts 1:8 and 1 Corinthians 12, I teach what the gifts are, how they operate, and why Jesus first promised power before manifestations. As a Pentecostal, Spirit-filled church, we believe these gifts are active for today and given for the strengthening of the body of Christ. The gifts are diverse, distributed by the Holy Spirit, and given to every believer for the profit of all. But more than chasing gifts, we must first receive the power of the Holy Spirit that transforms us, frees us, and equips us to live boldly for Christ. Do not neglect what God has placed in you—ask, receive, and walk in the power He promised. — Travis Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - PODCAST(00:00:42) - The Gifts of the Spirit(00:02:50) - Acts 1,2-3(00:03:36) - Paul on the Gifts of the Spirit(00:04:25) - The mystery of the spiritual walk(00:10:26) - Spiritual Gifts(00:13:05) - Paul lists the 5fold Ministry Gifts in 1 Corinthians 12(00:15:45) - Spiritual Gifts are Diversity(00:18:21) - Not Everybody Has All of the Gifts of the Spirit(00:23:02) - Receiving the Gifts of God(00:28:10) - Spiritual Gifts, Don't Be Scared(00:33:49) - Spiritual Gifts(00:35:14) - All the Gifts of the Holy Spirit(00:39:42) - Do You Have Power?(00:44:40) - A Fresh Touch of the Holy Spirit
