“I Have Learned To Be Satisfied In Jesus!” – Part 2

Praise God! Isn't it good to know that angels have been sent to minister for you, to protect you, and to assist you.

The old life is gone. We have been renewed in the image of Christ, so let's put on the new man.

Why does doing what God says sometimes feel harder than doing what we know is wrong? Many believers quietly struggle with this tension. We know what Scripture says. We feel the Holy Spirit prompting us. Yet something inside us still hesitates. In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis explores why obedience can feel difficult in the moment and why sin often seems easier at first. Drawing from powerful biblical examples like Peter stepping out of the boat and Abraham trusting God with Isaac, this episode reveals a truth many Christians overlook: obedience rarely begins with full understanding. Sin promises immediate comfort, control, and relief. Obedience often requires faith before we see the outcome. But Scripture consistently shows that real freedom, growth, and transformation happen on the other side of obedience. If you've ever felt the tension between what God is asking and what feels easier in the moment, this episode will challenge and encourage you to take the next step of faith. Because uncommon faith is not built by accident. It grows through everyday obedience. In this episode, Jon Ellis explores the tension many believers quietly face between knowing what God says and actually doing it. From Peter stepping out of the boat to Abraham trusting God on the mountain, Scripture shows that obedience often requires faith before understanding. Sin promises immediate reward, but obedience leads to lasting freedom. If you want to grow deeper in your faith and stop negotiating with obedience, this episode will challenge you to take the next step. #christiandiscipleship, #obedience, #followingjesus, #faithinpractice, #christianpodcast, #theuncommonchristian, #biblicaltruth, #spiritledlife, #christianfaith, #walkwithgod, #faithoverfeelings, #christianencouragement, #Bible, #Jesus, #HolySpirit

We are in a series called Holy Water. The goal is to de-mystify the Holy Spirit and re-frame Him in your mind using scripture. This is important because there is so much unbiblical teaching and opinions about Him out there — some out of ignorance and some that is intentionally deceptive. So far, we’ve learned that the Holy Spirit is God, and He serves many important roles in the life of a believer. Last week, we also discovered that there is a deeper (not different) work that the Holy Spirit wants to do in us and through us. This week, we are starting to explore what Jesus told the 500 believers who were gathered on the mountain in Acts 1:8. He said, “You will receive power after the Holy Spirit comes upon you. ”Many churches have emphasized other things when it comes to the Holy Spirit, but Jesus made it clear: conversations about what the Spirit offers to us after we’re saved must be rooted in the idea of power. For the next two weeks, we’re looking at what the Holy Spirit empowers us to do when we surrender to Him, starting with prayer.

In this teaching by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers from John 4:14 on the water that Jesus gives that a person will never get thirsty again. This living water completely satisfies a believer and we can partake of the living water. We may go to the well of money, school, work, social media, etc. but none will satisfy like Jesus' living water. Scripture: John 4:14 - but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

It's the little miracles that happen in our lives everyday that showcase God's goodness. HE really does care for you.

God delights in doing us good. HE loves to take care of His children.

Most Christians were told how to believe in Jesus. Very few were actually shown how to follow Him. Somewhere along the way, Christianity in the modern world became centered around decisions instead of discipleship. We invited people to pray a prayer, attend church, and try to live a good life, but many believers were never shown what it actually means to walk with Jesus day by day. And the result is something many people quietly feel but rarely talk about. They believe in Jesus… but they feel stuck. They love God… but they don’t know what following Him is supposed to look like. In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis breaks down the difference between belief and discipleship, why so many Christians feel spiritually stalled, and what Jesus actually meant when He said: "Follow Me." This conversation will challenge assumptions, bring clarity to what real discipleship looks like, and help you take the next step toward living the kind of faith Jesus actually called people to. Because Christianity was never meant to be casual. It was meant to transform your life. Most Christians were taught how to believe in Jesus, but very few were ever shown how to follow Him. In this episode, Jon Ellis explores the gap between belief and discipleship, why so many believers feel stuck, and what Jesus actually meant when He said, “Follow Me.” If you’ve ever felt like faith was supposed to be deeper than what you’ve experienced, this conversation will help you understand why.

Join Pastor Mark Stroud as he dives into ‘There’s Only One Way,’ Part 8 of the ‘Prepare for Battle’ series. This video explores why the belief in Jesus as God is considered essential for salvation, examining various names of God and scriptural perspectives. Remember, the goal is to know what you believe and why you believe it. www.kingdomrock.org #finalhour #endtimes #biblestudy #spiritualgrowth #christianliving #intime #powerofgod #walkinginpower #beprepared #trinity #endtimes #faith #spiritualempowerment #christianfaith

We’re in the third week of a series called "Holy Water," which is all about walking slowly through the Bible to understand who the Holy Spirit is and how believers are to approach, understand, and interact with Him. So far, we’ve discovered that the Holy Spirit is just as much God as the Father and the Son, He has been revealing Himself since the beginning and He resurrects a person’s spirit when they are saved and begins to influence their soul to follow Christ. This week's message challenges the idea that life for a believer after salvation is only a matter of trying to win the daily battle with the flesh. Together, we will learn that there is "something more” that is not different than salvation but deeper and expected. This "something more" is intended for everyone who gets saved, making salvation the beginning rather than the end, but to experience this saturation, the believer must surrender their soul to the Holy Spirit.
