    And Then They Will Fast

    Fasting is one of the most neglected gifts Jesus gave His Church. In Matthew 6:16–18, Jesus doesn’t say if you fast—He says when. He assumes fasting will be part of the normal rhythm of life for those who follow Him. But what exactly is fasting? Why do we do it? How long should we fast? And what does fasting actually accomplish in us? In this message, Neil Broere looks at the who, what, why, when, and how of biblical fasting—and we discover that fasting is far more accessible than many of us have assumed. Fasting humbles the soul. It exposes what distractions normally keep hidden. It reminds us that we are dependent creatures. And ultimately, fasting is a discipline of longing—a way of saying with our whole selves, “What I need most is God.” We’ll look at: • Why Jesus assumes His followers will fast• What qualifies as biblical fasting• Why hunger reveals what is happening in the soul• Fasting as longing for the Bridegroom• The ordinary biblical rhythm of fasting• When to fast in seasons of crisis, repentance, and decision• Practical ways to begin fasting without comparison or legalism

    God & Money

    What we treasure always tells the truth about who is really on the throne of our hearts. In this message from Matthew 6, Chad unpacks Jesus’ words on money, mammon, and generosity, showing how our use of resources reveals our true allegiance. Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, the parable of the rich fool, the rich young ruler, and real-life examples of radical generosity, we’re invited to dethrone rival “kings” and trust our Father with every part of our lives—including our finances. In this message, you’ll learn: Why you can’t serve both God and money and how mammon subtly becomes a functional “lord”What it means to store up treasure in heaven and be “rich toward God”How generous eyes fill your whole life with light and reshape your lifestyle, margins, and priorities

    Mark 5: Go Tell How Much God Has Done For You

    What happens when the most unlikely, offensive, “too far gone” person runs to Jesus? In Mark 5, the demonized man with Legion becomes a living display of the Father’s heart. This message exposes how our small views of God create big bondage in our lives—and how Jesus, gentle and lowly, meets us at our worst with abundant pardon, not condemnation. Drawing from Mark 5, Isaiah 55, and Ephesians 2, we explore: Why no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercyHow Western church culture often disciples us into passive unbeliefHow to let Jesus’ scars, not your own, define your identityThe power of simple testimony to shift a whole regionIf you’ve ever wondered, “Have I gone too far?” or “Is there mercy left for me?”, this message is for you.

    The Secret Place

    What if the simplest prayer Jesus taught could shape your entire life? In this message from Radiant Church, Pastor Chad unpacks the Lord’s Prayer from Matthew 6 and shows how “Our Father” is not just a phrase—it’s the foundation for a lifelong, prayer‑saturated walk with God. From the Father’s loving gaze in your panic and weakness, to daily consecration, forgiveness, and spiritual battle, this teaching invites you into a life where prayer and obedience become one seamless conversation. In this message, you’ll learn: What it really means that God is your Father through Jesus ChristWhy the Father is immediately accessible in the secret place—anywhere, anytimeHow God values your proximity more than your performance in prayerHow to use the Lord’s Prayer as a practical templatefor daily lifeWhy a prayer‑saturated life is the only way to live a kingdom‑saturated lifeWhether you feel stuck in performance, distant from God, or unsure how to pray, this message will help you return to the secret place with confidence and clarity. 📖 Key Scripture: Matthew 6:5–15, Psalm 32, Luke 18, John 1, Colossians 1📍 Recorded at Radiant Church – “Our Father” series / School of Prayer emphasis If this encourages you, share it with a friend and consider joining us as we contend for a coast filled with prayer, mission, and the presence of the Father.

    Motives Matter

    Be Seen or Stay Hidden? What Jesus Really Meant About Good Works | Matthew 6:1–4 Jesus says, “Let your light shine before people” — and then, just a few verses later, He says, “Take care not to practice your righteousness in the sight of people.” So which is it? Be seen… or don’t be seen? In Matthew 6:1–4, Jesus exposes the subtle danger of self-righteousness and asks a deeper question: Who are you performing for? As Jesus addresses giving, He reveals that the issue isn’t simply what we do, but who our righteousness is aimed at. The same good work can either point people toward God or point them toward us. In this message, we explore three truths: 1. The Kingdom asks, “Who are you performing for?”Our righteousness is meant to make the Father visible, not ourselves. Like a window rather than a mirror, our good works should point beyond us to Him. 2. You get what you aim at.Jesus says that those who seek the applause of people “have their reward in full.” But when we aim our righteousness toward the Father, we discover that He is the One who sees what is done in secret — and He rewards those who seek Him. 3. Lose yourself in righteousness.“Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing” isn’t merely a technique for keeping our giving secret. Jesus is describing a righteousness so captivated by the person in front of us that we stop thinking about ourselves altogether. The goal isn’t to become invisible. The goal is to make Him visible. True righteousness isn’t about whether people see what we do. It’s about who receives the glory when they do. 📖 Text: Matthew 6:1–4🎙️ Message: The Kingdom, Righteousness, and Who We're Performing For #Matthew6 #Sermon #Jesus #Christianity #BiblicalTeaching #Righteousness #GoodWorks #Giving #Faith #KingdomOfGod #Matthew5 #Matthew6

    Be Perfect: Loving Your Enemies in a World of Retaliation | Matthew 5:38–48

    Jesus’ command to “love your enemies” and “be perfect as your Father is perfect” can feel impossible—especially in a world shaped by revenge, outrage, and violence. In this message, Pastor Chad Bohi walks through Matthew 5:38–48 and shows how Jesus offers a radically different way to be human. We explore: The Old Testament “eye for an eye” law and why it was actually a mercyWhat it means to turn the other cheek, give your coat, and go the second mileHow followers of Jesus are called to break the cycle of retaliationThe tension between the Sermon on the Mount and Romans 13 (civil authority, police, military, just war)The ultimate kingdom vision where weapons become plowshares (Isaiah 2, Micah 4)Anchored in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, this teaching calls us to grow up (telios) into the likeness of our Father—people who trust God to vindicate, refuse to recycle revenge, and overcome evil with good. Scripture References:Matthew 5:38–48; Genesis 4–6; Deuteronomy 24; Romans 12–13; Isaiah 2; Micah 4; 1 Peter 2:21–25; Colossians 1; John 17 Chapters (Suggested):0:00 – Story: 20-year-old Chad vs. the Christian pacifist4:55 – “Eye for an eye”: the law of retaliation explained10:30 – Turn the other cheek: breaking the cycle of revenge18:30 – Give your coat also: exposing false visions of flourishing23:30 – Go the second mile: enemy love under empire28:40 – Love your enemies, pray for your persecutors33:30 – “Be perfect” (telios): growing into maturity, not performance38:30 – Private disciple vs. public officer; Romans 13 tension43:00 – Just war, Bonhoeffer, and a fallen world45:30 – The peaceable kingdom: swords into plowshares47:24 – Jesus’ example: entrusted to the One who judges justly49:36 – Response and prayer

    The Integrity of Your Yes

    What does Jesus see in our everyday words that we often miss?In Matthew 5:33–37, Jesus confronts the games we play with language—the half-truths, exaggerations, empty promises, and carefully worded escape clauses we use to protect ourselves. He reminds us that there is no part of life outside the presence of God. Every word matters, because every word reveals something about the heart from which it came.In this message, we explore why Jesus tells His followers to let their “Yes” be yes and their “No” be no. A whole heart does not need to support its words with elaborate promises. It speaks truthfully, consistently, and without manipulation.We also look at the faithfulness of God, whose promises never fail. Jesus is God’s eternal “Yes”—the faithful and true witness in whom every promise of God is fulfilled.This sermon is both a call to repent of divided speech and an invitation for those who have been wounded by someone else’s broken word to learn to trust the One whose words are always kept.To CONNECT with our church, submit a PRAYER REQUEST, download FREE encouraging material, GIVE to this ministry or FOLLOW US on social media, click the link below!https://linktr.ee/radiantcentralcoast

    Jesus on Marriage

    In this episode, Pastor Chad continues our journey through Matthew and tackles one of the most sensitive and important topics in our culture: marriage, divorce, singleness, and celibacy. Starting with Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:31–32 and Matthew 19, we look at: God’s original design for marriage: one man, one woman, for lifeWhy the real issue is first: “Is Jesus Lord?”The cultural debate in Jesus’ day and how He cuts through it by going back to creationThe three A’s as biblical grounds for divorce: adultery, abuse, and abandonmentA kingdom vision for singleness and celibacy that reflects the life of Jesus and the writings of PaulThe hope of the gospel for those who carry deep pain, betrayal, or regretThis episode is for you whether you’re married, single, divorced, or walking through sexual brokenness. Jesus is not indifferent to your story. He is the faithful Bridegroom who knows betrayal, who understands covenant, and who comes to heal, restore, and rewrite broken chapters with His mercy. Scripture references: Matthew 5, Matthew 19, Deuteronomy 24, Exodus 21, 1 Corinthians 7, Hosea 2, Jeremiah 3, Revelation 19.
