    Stop Running From What God Called You to Fight by Ps. Dan Stephan | 2026 Sydney Conf.

    What if the thing you keep asking God to remove is the very thing He intends you to conquer? Preaching from 2 Samuel 23:20 at the 2026 Sydney Conference, Pastor Dan Stephen looks at Benaiah, one of David's mighty men, who didn't run when he found a lion in a pit. He went after it. This message is a challenge to reject spiritual passivity, confront the battles standing between you and your calling, and recover an aggressive confidence in what God can do. There will always be adversaries when God opens a door. The question is whether we retreat from the lion or chase it. In this sermon: Why difficulty is often connected to destiny The difference between self-confidence and God-confidence How passivity quietly buries calling Why discipleship keeps your spiritual edge What happens when believers attempt something bigger than themselves How a few courageous decisions can completely change your future Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:20 Message: Chase the Lion Speaker: Pastor Dan Stephen Event: 2026 Sydney Bible Conference If this message challenged you, share it with someone who needs to stop retreating and start moving forward.

    How to Know If Your Faith Is Actually Real | Image Vs. Truth by Ps. Wayman Mitchell

    Crowds, influence, and religious knowledge can create a convincing image—but Jesus looks for something deeper: a genuinely changed heart.In this Wayman Wednesday message from John 9:35–41, we examine the difference between appearing religious and truly knowing Jesus Christ. The Pharisees possessed recognition, structure, and knowledge, yet their pride kept them from recognizing the work of God directly in front of them.This sermon challenges us to look beyond numbers, reputation, and outward success and confront the question Jesus asked the man whose sight had been restored: “Do you believe on the Son of God?”You’ll discover:• Why popularity is not proof of spiritual truth• How expectations can prevent us from recognizing God• Why religious knowledge cannot replace a personal encounter with Christ• The true evidence of a changed heart and life• What it means to possess eternal life through the Son of GodKey Scriptures: John 9:35–41, Romans 12:1–2, Isaiah 7:14, Micah 5:2, Matthew 16:13–18, John 3:1–3, 1 John 5:10–13, and Matthew 7:21–23.What matters most isn’t the image we present—it’s whether our lives have truly been changed by Jesus Christ.Subscribe for a new Wayman Wednesday message each week.#WaymanWednesday #ChristianSermon #Faith #JesusChrist #BornAgain 00:00 Image vs. Truth 03:59 John 9: The Blind Man Healed 07:07 The Pressure to Conform 10:20 Spiritual Discernment 13:05 Who Is the Son of God? 17:48 Personal Faith Over Religious Image 22:24 A Changed Heart and Life 26:09 The Final Measure: Reality ## SUPPORT WORLD EVANGELISMGet the **Taking the Land Premium Subscription**:• No ads • Early releases • Full-length Testimony Tuesdays **Supercast - $3/month** https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/**Spotify - $3.99/month** https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe**Apple Podcasts - $4.99/month** https://apple.co/4owjo5Z**All proceeds go to world evangelism.**## CONNECT📍 **Find a CFM Church near you:** https://cfmmap.org⭐ **Enjoying Taking the Land?

    Don’t Give Up on Them Yet | Pastor Garret King

    TakingTheLandPodcast.com Someone in your life may look completely uninterested in God. They may have rejected every invitation, ignored every conversation, and shown no outward sign of change. But you don't know what God may already be stirring inside them. In Luke 19, Zacchaeus was known as a corrupt tax collector, a traitor, and a sinner. Everyone in Jericho thought they knew exactly what kind of man he was. What they couldn't see was that something had already begun happening in his heart. He climbed a tree hoping to see Jesus. He had no idea Jesus was looking for him. In this message, “A Tale of a Tree,” Pastor Garret King of Tucson, Arizona examines the conversion of Zacchaeus and the incredible grace of Jesus toward people others have written off. We cannot save anyone. But God can use our friendship, testimony, prayers, invitations, and faithfulness to help someone see Jesus more clearly. Don't give up on them yet. 📖 Scripture: Luke 19:1-10 If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who is praying for a loved one, friend, coworker, or family member who seems far from God.

    How Faith Dies in One Generation | Ps. Paul Stephens

    https://takingthelandpodcast.com How can one generation experience the power of God, only for the next generation to grow up not knowing Him? ⭐ SUPPORT WORLD EVANGELISM — PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTIONNo ads • Early releases • Full-length Testimony TuesdaysSupercast — $3/monthhttps://taking-the-land.supercast.com/Spotify — $3.99/monthhttps://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribeApple Podcasts — $4.99/monthhttps://apple.co/4owjo5Z Pastor Paul Stephens preaches from Deuteronomy 6 and Judges 2 about one of the most sobering responsibilities given to parents, grandparents, pastors, mentors, and the entire church: passing a living faith to the next generation. Israel had seen miracles, deliverance, supernatural provision, and victory. Yet Judges records the tragedy that followed: “another generation arose after them who did not know the Lord, nor the work which He had done for Israel.” How did that happen? This message examines the dangers of partial obedience, silence in the home, cultural influence, fading spiritual leadership, and assuming our children will inherit a relationship with God simply because they grew up around church. Pastor Stephens also challenges young people directly: your parents' relationship with Jesus cannot become your substitute for knowing Him yourself. In this message: • Why spiritual legacies can disappear in a single generation • The responsibility of parents and grandparents • Why children need to hear your testimony • How compromise can multiply in the next generation • The danger of allowing the world to shape your children's appetites • Why church kids need their own encounter with Jesus • How every member of a congregation influences the young people watching them Key Scriptures: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Judges 2:7-12 Deuteronomy 4:9-10 Joshua 4:5-7 Psalm 127:3 Matthew 5:14-16 Ecclesiastes 12:1 Psalm 119:9-10 If we want another generation to know God, we cannot be silent about what God has done.

    Why God Corrects You (And Why It Hurts) | Correction And Chastisment by Ps Wayman Mitchell

    Why does God correct the people He loves? In this powerful Wayman Wednesday message, Pastor Wayman Mitchell opens Hebrews 12 to reveal why correction is not rejection—it is proof of God’s love and a process that shapes us into people He can use. From the struggle of human will and rebellion to the peaceable fruit of righteousness, this sermon challenges us to stop resisting God’s authority and receive the character-building work He wants to do in us. Scriptures referenced include Hebrews 12, Isaiah 14, Acts 9, Galatians 3, 2 Peter 1, and 2 Timothy 2. Subscribe for more Wayman Wednesday sermons and timeless preaching from Pastor Wayman Mitchell.

    What To Do If You Miss The Rapture | Pastor Lopez

    Pastor Lopez preaches an unusual message from Matthew 24 and Revelation designed not only for Christians today, but for the people they fear may one day be left behind.What happened? What happens next? And most importantly, what should you do?From the rise of the Antichrist and the Great Tribulation to the Mark of the Beast, persecution, the return of Jesus Christ, and the urgent need for salvation, Pastor Lopez walks through his understanding of Bible prophecy and delivers one overriding warning:Don't wait until tomorrow to get right with God.This message was originally preached on May 26, 2021, so references to political leaders, international conflicts, technology, UFO reports, inflation, and other current events reflect the world as it existed at that time. Some connections between those events and end-times prophecy represent Pastor Lopez's personal interpretation and speculation.Key Scriptures:Matthew 24:21-221 Corinthians 15:51-531 Thessalonians 4:16-182 Thessalonians 2Daniel 9:27Revelation 6-14Revelation 13:16-18Revelation 19:11-16Luke 21:36If this message makes you think of someone you love, don't just think about them.

    God Is Going to Finish What He Started in You | The Assurance of Salvation by Ps. Wayman Mitchell

    Can you really know that you’re saved? Pastor Wayman Mitchell preaches from Ephesians 1 on the assurance of salvation and one of the most encouraging truths in Scripture: God is committed to finishing what He started in you. New converts and longtime Christians alike can struggle with condemnation. Old habits surface. Wrong thoughts return. The devil accuses you and tells you, “You haven’t really changed. You’ll always be this way.” But God says something different. In this message, Pastor Mitchell explains what it means to be redeemed by the blood of Jesus, accepted in Christ, and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. That seal is more than a religious idea. It speaks of ownership. God has put His mark on those who belong to Him. Philippians 1:6 says: “He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Your confidence is not that you are strong enough to save yourself. Your confidence is in the God who saved you and is working to bring His purposes to completion. Scriptures: Ephesians 1:3-14, Romans 6:23, Isaiah 52:3, Acts 20:28, Colossians 1:12-14, Romans 8:1, Luke 10:20, Philippians 1:6, Jude 24-25 Subscribe for more classic preaching from Pastor Wayman Mitchell every Wayman Wednesday. 00:42 Why Christians Doubt Their Salvation 01:21 Ephesians 1: God Is Dedicated to Your Salvation 03:27 God Had a Plan Before the World Began 04:50 God Is Not Limited by Time 05:27 God Is Going Somewhere 06:53 When God Interrupts Your Plans 07:34 How Prophecy Brought Mary to Bethlehem 09:19 God Has a Purpose for Your Life 10:28 Why We Need Redemption 11:44 Jesus Paid a Debt You Could Never Pay 14:04 Redeemed and Forgiven Through His Blood 15:04 You Can Have Assurance of Salvation 16:26 “You Will Always Be an Addict” Is a Lie 18:10 God Has Put His Mark on You 19:00 Sealed With the Holy Spirit 20:03 What the Seal of God Means 21:25 Your Name Is Written in Heaven 22:19 The Seven Sons of Sceva 23:51 God Will Complete What He Started 25:00 Israel’s Great Mistake 26:17 If God Wanted to Destroy You, He Would Have Left You in Egypt 27:08 God Is Able to Keep You From Falling 27:44 When the Devil Says You Won’t Make It Notes ALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISM Locate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.org We need five-star reviews!
