Obedience Episodes

From the garden of Eden to the camp of Israel, Scripture shows a consistent truth: sin that is hidden is never truly covered. In Part 2, we examine how hiding sin leads to separation, consequences, and exposure—but also how God invites us into honesty and restoration. If Part 1 asked “Who are you serving?”, this episode asks, “What are you hiding?” and reminds us—God already knows.

Is salvation by faith alone—or do works play a role? In this episode, we confront one of the most misunderstood tensions in Scripture: the relationship between faith and works. Drawing from James, Paul’s letters, and the words of Jesus Himself, we uncover a powerful truth—works don’t save us, but saving faith always produces evidence.This message cuts through empty religion, exposes false assurance, and calls believers into a living, active faith rooted in Christ alone. If your faith is real, it will show up in how you live.

Does faith in Jesus cancel the Law of God? Or does it actually confirm it?Many wrestle with this question. Some believe grace replaces the Law entirely. Others cling to the Law without understanding its purpose. But Scripture shows us something deeper: the Law was never the means of salvation — it was the mirror that revealed our need for one.In this episode, we walk through Romans and the words of Jesus to understand the purpose of the Law, the power of faith, and how the gospel does not abolish God’s standard — it fulfills it.Faith does not make the Law void. It establishes it.

Unbelief rarely announces itself loudly. It doesn’t usually begin with rebellion — it begins with drifting. In this episode, we walk through Hebrews 3:12–19 and confront the danger of a hardened heart. God’s warning to Israel in the wilderness is a warning to us today: proximity to miracles does not guarantee perseverance in faith.We’ll talk about the slow creep of unbelief, the deceitfulness of sin, the importance of daily exhortation, and what it truly means to endure to the end. This is a sobering but necessary reminder: guard your heart, stay tender, and keep believing.

In today’s episode, we look at what it really means to build a life that stands. In Luke 6:46–49, Jesus confronts the danger of hearing His words without doing them. Then in 1 Corinthians 10:1–14, Paul reminds believers that spiritual privilege does not guarantee spiritual stability.You can have exposure to truth and still fall.You can hear the Word and still collapse.The difference is obedience.This episode is a sobering and encouraging reminder: storms will come—but only what is built on Christ through obedience will endure.

Conquering your old life is not about self-improvement—it’s about spiritual displacement. God does not bring us forward so we can negotiate with who we used to be. In this episode, we explore how pride, self-reliance, and forgotten dependence can quietly resurrect the old life God already delivered us from. Drawing from Deuteronomy 8 and 9, we confront the danger of crossing into promise while carrying yesterday’s mindset—and how humility is the key to true victory.

When it comes to giving, are you giving to God first, or just giving Him the leftovers? In todays episode, we will see where Cain failed, but Abel was successful at giving. What did Cain do wrong, and how can we make sure we don’t fall into he same trap?

Yesterday, we talked about keeping mercy and truth at the center of your life. Today, we are looking at a couple real life examples of men who did just that, and see how God worked in them. If you are in your darkest hour right now, it is not the time to abandon your faith. Instead, it’s time to keep focused on God, because He may be preparing you for something beyond your wildest dreams.

In Proverbs 3, the writer lists two things we must make sure is at the very center of our lives. In fact, he tells us not to let them forsake us, it’s that important. Is your life centered on these two things?

As we turn our thoughts to the new year ahead of us, many of us will utter the phrase, “In the New Year I will…..” We’ll make our new year resolutions-things we want to change about us and the life we live. Sadly, many of those resolutions will fail in the first couple weeks. In todays episode, I’ll show you some resolutions we can make to be the Christian that God wants us to be.

What comes to mind when I say the word “peace?” Is it a spot on a tropical beach under a palm tree with no one around? Maybe a log cabin in the woods next to a babbling brook? Today’s episode is about peace, about finding peace. Where does peace come from? Take a listen and get the help you need to find peace in your life.

Today, we are looking, again, at Proverbs 2:12-15. We see, in these verses, how easily we can fall away from the right path, into the evilness of false teachings. Unless we study and apply the Bible, we will fall for any and all teachings-whether they are biblically sound or not. This episode gives practical advice, through Scripture, to help make sure you stay on the right path, the path that is led by the Spirit.

Todays episode is studying Proverbs 1:10-19 where we are taught not to follow along with, or walk in the paths and ways of the sinner. As Christians, we need to make sure we don’t fall back into sin. Instead, we need to walk in the ways of the LORD. In our world today, it’s easy to give into peer pressure, it’s easy to walk in the ways of the world. It takes self control and the LORD to make sure you stay on the right path.

Did you know that you can have a faith that could move mountains? All it takes is a tiny amount of faith, yet we all even lack a tiny bit of faith. The disciples could not cast out a demon, even though Jesus ordained them to. Why? Their unbelief. Their lack of reliance on God. We can’t do anything apart from God, yet we all try and live our day to day lives in our own power and strength. If you want a faith that can move a mountain, you must rely on God in all areas of life.

Have you ever been in a spot, like the father was in Mark 9:24, when you exclaim something like “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief?” That father was desperate for healing for his son, yet the disciples could do nothing for him. The fathers faith was tested as he tried to get his son healed, but then he met Jesus. His honest, open dialogue with Jesus revealed he had no where else to turn. Maybe your faith needs to be open and honest with Jesus as well.

Do you know what time it is? In todays episode, we are studying Romans 13:11-14, where Paul is challenging us to realize the time we are living in, and make sure we are living wisely.

Why do we try and cover up or hide our sins? It’s not a new concept. In todays episode, we look at some people in the Bible who had tried to cover up or hide their sin, along with some reasons why we try and hide sin. What are you trying to hide today?

In Mark 7:1–13, Jesus confronts the religious leaders for elevating human traditions above God’s commands. In this episode, we explore how easy it is to slip into routine, performance, and outward religion while the heart drifts far from God. Christ teaches us that true worship begins within, and that obedience to God’s Word must never be replaced by man-made practices. This episode calls us back to authenticity, sincerity, and devotion from the heart.

What does it really mean to keep the words of Jesus? In a world drawn to convenience, shortcuts, and selective obedience, Scripture calls us back to the simple but transformative truth: love for Christ is proven in the keeping of His Word. From Noah’s radical obedience in a corrupt generation to Abraham’s steps into the unknown, and to Jesus’ own teachings about abiding, this episode invites listeners to rediscover the blessing, intimacy, and power found in aligning our lives with the words of Christ.

Disobedience rarely shows its cost upfront. It often begins subtly—a small compromise, a silent justification, a moment of self-will. Yet Scripture reveals repeatedly that turning from God’s word always leads to loss, bondage, and separation. In this final installment of our obedience series, we explore how biblical figures from Adam to Samson to Saul illustrate the heavy price attached to disobedience—and how Christ calls us back into surrendered alignment with His will.

Discipline is not God’s rejection—it is His commitment to your transformation. Today’s episode explores the difference between punishment and discipline, why God’s correction flows from His love, and how submitting to His training leads to spiritual maturity and lasting obedience. Drawing from 1 Samuel 15:22, Proverbs 3:11-12, Psalm 94:12, Hebrews 12:5-11, and Deuteronomy 8:5-6, we uncover how the Father shapes His children through discipline so that we may walk in reverence, obedience, and fruitfulness.

True love for God is revealed not in emotion, intention, or religious activity—but in obedience. In this episode, we explore the sobering contrast between Jesus’ call to keep His words and Saul’s tragic downfall in 1 Samuel 15. God desires obedience over sacrifice, and when we choose our way over His, we silence our ability to hear Him clearly. Through Scripture, we uncover how obedience restores intimacy with God, keeps our hearts teachable, and positions us to walk in His will without delay.

In a world drowning in opinion, preference, and shifting definitions, biblical love stands firm on truth. The Word of God teaches that genuine love never celebrates sin, self-deception, or anything that pulls us away from the character of Christ. Instead, love finds joy in what aligns with God’s Word, God’s will, and God’s ways.This episode explores why love and truth are inseparable—and how the believer must guard against the false forms of “love” promoted by a culture that often denies truth altogether.

As we close our series on prayer, Jesus shows us the clearest contrast between the prayers God rejects and the prayers He receives. In Matthew 6, He exposes the empty, self-centered, performance-driven prayers that lead nowhere—and then gives us the pattern for prayer that moves heaven. In this episode, we will walk through practical examples of “wrong prayers” and compare them to the God-honoring posture modeled in the Lord’s Prayer. Silence becomes a teacher when it pushes us toward praying the way Jesus instructed.
