Join Pastor Mark Stroud in the third installment of his ‘Being Prepared’ series. Today, we’ll explore the divinity of Christ and discover who He is in these end times. Understanding what you believe and why you believe it, are of the utmost importance in these last days. Who is Jesus to you? And why is He important to your faith? Let this series inspire you to dive deeper in your discovery of Jesus.

A new year doesn’t need better intentions, it needs divine power. In this New Year episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis exposes why so many believers feel spiritually exhausted: they’re trying to live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit leading it. The Spirit-filled life isn’t emotional hype or theological preference — it’s the difference between survival and victory. In this episode, you’ll discover: ● Why willpower and discipline can’t sustain obedience ● What Scripture actually says about the role of the Holy Spirit ● How cultural Christianity replaced power with effort ● Practical steps to enter the new year Spirit-led, not burned out If you’re tired of striving, stuck in cycles, or hungry for real transformation, this episode resets everything. Willpower has never transformed anyone. In this New Year episode, Jon Ellis reveals why the Spirit-filled life isn’t optional, it’s essential. You don’t need a new calendar; you need new power.

We want to bring joy to the heart of God. When we continually abide in His presence fruitfulness is the natural outcome. And fruitfulness brings Him great joy. http://www.prayerdrive.com/

Holiness didn’t disappear…..it was replaced. In this Christmas episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis confronts the quiet erosion of holiness in modern Christianity. Not legalism. Not perfectionism. But what Scripture actually means when it calls believers to live set apart, not as an image to protect, but an identity to walk in. Christmas didn’t come to make us comfortable, it came to make us holy. And when holiness is redefined or avoided, devotion fades, obedience delays, and spiritual hunger slowly dies. In this episode, you’ll discover: ● Why holiness feels outdated in today’s culture ● How Christmas Christianity celebrates Jesus without surrendering to His lordship ● What holiness is, and what it is not ● How to return to a set-apart life without legalism, fear, or exhaustion This message is pastoral, prophetic, and deeply practical, calling believers back to identity, obedience, and a faith worth the cost. Holiness didn’t disappear, it was replaced. In this Christmas episode, Jon Ellis exposes how cultural Christianity celebrates Jesus without surrendering to Him, and why being set apart is still worth the cost. Holiness isn’t a burden, it’s a rescue.

Why did Christmas have to be the way it was?The birth of Jesus was so unconventional and so unexpected that even good Jewish people, who had been anticipating the coming of Messiah their whole lives, missed it. Galatians 4:4-6 tells us that there was a plan and that God was waiting for the right time. One version calls it the fullness of time. If God had a plan for WHEN it was going to happen, don’t you think there must have also been a plan for HOW it was supposed to happen and — more importantly — for WHY it had to happen the way it did? This week, we’re looking at Jesus’s life, talking about Christmas the way it had to be and exploring the big picture God was trying to accomplish.

In this message by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers from Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23 on one of the reasons that we celebrate the birth of Christ is that He said He would be with us. God will never leave us nor forsake us. Scripture: Isaiah 7:14 - Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Matthew 1:23 - “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

God's word is His reviled will for our lives. When we spend time in HIs word and in prayer we'll receive clear direction and guidance. http://www.prayerdrive.com/
