Back To Eden | Easter 2026 | Dr. Phillip Martin

Every human being is searching for peace — in relationships, in vacations, in achievements, in escapes. But most of us never stop to ask why. In this Easter Sunday message, "Back to Eden," Dr. Phillip Martin answers that question by taking listeners from the very first garden in Genesis to the New Garden in Revelation 22, with the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the turning point between the two. You'll hear: Why every decision we make is really our soul searching for the peace we lost in Eden What life in the first garden was actually like — and why God had no choice but to drive Adam and Eve out What death has stolen from you, and what the resurrection promises to restore Why Easter is not a holiday tradition but the hinge point of all human history What Revelation 22 describes as the New Garden — where there is no death, no curse, no doubt, and no decay Why not everyone is going — and why this message may be someone's last opportunity to say yes to Jesus What it means that your seat in heaven is already reserved, waiting on you, because of the cross and the resurrection Subscribe, rate, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear the hope of the resurrection today.

Live On Bedrock | Dr. Gary Alley

Most of us say we believe in the resurrection — but does the way we actually live our lives show it? In this message from 1 Corinthians 15, Dr. Gary Alley walks through the ancient Christian Creed embedded in Paul's letter to the Corinthians and presents compelling historical evidence that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a myth — it is the most well-supported event in ancient history, agreed upon by over 95% of New Testament scholars, including atheists and agnostics. You'll hear: How the Corinthian church was missing the standard in almost every area — and how we still do today Why Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 15 as the motivation for everything he corrected in the first 14 chapters What the ancient Christian Creed says and why it was being repeated within 2 to 4 years of the crucifixion The "minimal facts" approach to the resurrection and why no other theory accounts for all the evidence What Paul means when he says if the resurrection didn't happen, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins Why a 2023 study showing 53% of Americans now call the Bible a myth should wake up every believer What it means to steward your "sliver of history" as a resurrection believer — and why that matters for the people around you If the resurrection is real — and the evidence says it is — then it should be changing everything: how you think, how you treat people, how you live every single day. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:1–20; Galatians 1 Subscribe, rate, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear that the resurrection is not just real — it is bedrock.

Becoming The Man He's Never Seen | Week 5 | Dr. Phillip Martin

Biblical manhood is under pressure—from pride, from isolation, and from desires that feel too strong to control. In “The Man Who Stands – Part 2,” Dr. Phillip Martin continues the Becoming the Man He’s Never Seen series in Psalm 15 and unpacks three men we’ve all seen (and often have become): the prideful “I’m the man” man, the isolated “man with no name,” and the man who “had to have it” and lost self-control. You’ll hear how: Psalm 15 describes a man who walks in integrity, practices righteousness, and speaks truth from the heart Isolation quietly destroys marriages, families, and friendships—and why humility and shared purpose are the cure Philippians 2 calls us to stop living out of selfishness and empty conceit and to regard others as more important than ourselves Lust, pornography, addiction, and comfort can rule a life when we won’t tell ourselves “no” Proverbs 25:28 warns that a man without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls, wide open to the enemy Whether you’re a husband, wife, parent, or teenager, this message will challenge you to step out of isolation, lay down pride, and let Jesus rebuild real strength, self-control, and connection in your life. Scripture: Psalm 15; Philippians 2:1–4; 1 Corinthians 16:13; Proverbs 18:1; Proverbs 25:28

6 Ways To Waste Your New Year | Week 1 | Dr. Phillip Martin

Life is short. Time is limited. And God has entrusted every one of us with something. In this message from Matthew 25, Pastor Philip launches the series “Six Ways to Waste Your New Year” by confronting one of the most common spiritual traps: playing it safe. Using the Parable of the Talents, he challenges believers to stop burying their gifts out of fear and start living with active, obedient faith. This episode explores how comparison, hesitation, and overthinking can quietly waste a life, and why joy is found not in comfort, but in using what God has already given you. If you’re tired of feeling stuck or spiritually passive, this message will push you to stop waiting and start stepping forward. Scripture Focus:Matthew 25

6 Ways To Ruin Your New Year | Week 2 | Dr.Phillip Martin

In this Sunday message, we continue the series “Six Ways to Waste Your New Year” with a full walk through Romans 12. This episode tackles two common patterns that derail spiritual growth and relational peace: 1) Remaining stubborn and refusing to change2) Feeding comparison and contempt Romans 12 reveals how conformity to the world’s pressure can harden the heart—leading to bitterness, resentment, and conflict with others. You’ll hear a direct call to true worship: surrendering your life to God as a living sacrifice, and experiencing real transformation through the renewing of your mind. This episode also offers a practical roadmap from Romans 12 for rooting out comparison and contempt through Christlike living—humility, love without hypocrisy, honoring others, serving faithfully, persevering through hardship, practicing hospitality, blessing those who hurt you, and leaving vengeance to God. If you’ve been feeling stuck, hardened, or frustrated watching others “move forward,” this message is a reset: stop wasting the year under pressure, and step into who God has called you to be.

Becoming The Man He's Never Seen | Week 2 | Dr. Phillip Martin

Outside of salvation, the greatest step of faith you'll ever make is who you marry. So why do so many marriages end up in survival mode instead of thriving? In this message from the Becoming the Man He's Never Seen series, Pastor Philip gets brutally honest about the state of marriage — the different types of husbands and wives, why 80% of marriages are quietly struggling, and what God actually intended when He brought two people together as one. From Proverbs 18:22, Pastor Philip unpacks the deeper meaning behind finding "a good wife" and obtaining favor from the Lord — and shows how God is working in your marriage long before you realize it. He closes with five practical takeaways for both husbands and wives to move from misery to thriving. This one's for the husbands who feel unappreciated, the wives who feel overwhelmed, the couples on the edge, and everyone in between.

6 Ways To Waste Your New Year | Week 4 | Dr. Phillip Martin

Discouragement is more dangerous than most people realize—because it rarely stops at discouragement. In this Sunday message, we finish the series “Six Ways to Waste Your New Year (or Waste Your Life)” with a powerful final point: when discouragement lingers, it can turn into disheartenment, then drift into indifference, until a person becomes emotionally and spiritually cold. Using John 16:33, we’re reminded that Jesus didn’t promise a trouble-free life—He promised peace and courage because He has already overcome the world. Then in Matthew 24, we see Jesus describe the spiritual condition of people as the world grows darker: “Most people’s love will grow cold.” The sermon paints a vivid picture of a constant “poisoned wind” that slowly wears people down over time—often without them realizing how numb they’ve become. If you’ve been tired, shut down, discouraged, or drifting into “I don’t care anymore,” this episode is a call back to life: Jesus can calm the storm, stop the wind, and help you feel again—before pain becomes the only thing that wakes the heart. Key Scriptures: John 16:33, Matthew 24:3–12

Becoming The Man He's Never Seen | Week 3 | Dr. Phillip Martin

What kind of parent are you really raising your children to become? In this sermon — "The Man Who Is Followed" — part of the series "Becoming the Man He's Never Seen" — we open Proverbs 20:7 and take an honest, sometimes uncomfortable look at how the way we live shapes the children we raise. Dr. Phillip Martin walks through 8 types of dads (from the Devoted Dad to the Anchor Dad), unpacks the concept of good fruit, bad fruit, and bruised fruit, and challenges every parent to ask the questions we often avoid: If your kids follow in your footsteps, will they succeed? Will they be happy? Will they know God? This isn't a message about guilt — it's about legacy. Your children are watching every decision you make, every word you say, and every way you love (or don't love) the people around them. Whether you're a parent trying your best, someone still carrying the scars of how YOU were raised, or a young person who will be a parent one day — this episode will speak directly to your heart. Scripture: Proverbs 20:7 | Psalm 127:4 | Psalm 37:25 Topics Covered: - The 8 types of fathers — which one are you? - How a father's absence creates a void that lasts a lifetime - Why your relationship with your spouse is your children's marriage blueprint - Breaking free from generational curses - Securing blessings for the next generation - Why "train up a child" is the closest thing to a parenting guarantee the Bible offers Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a parent who needs to hear it.
