In this message, Pastor Dobbs ministers from Philippians 3:10 on how we as a Learned Church should know about Jesus and His resurrection along with the fellowship of His suffering and being conformed to His death. As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, let us never forget that because of His love for us, He suffered and died but He rose again and is alive today! Scripture: Philippians 3:10 - that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

Let love continue, give thanks, and help others.

Know God, and keep his word in your heart. He will be merciful, and forget your sins.

You love God. You want to obey Him. So why do you keep doing the very thing you said you’d stop? This isn’t just a discipline issue. This isn’t just a lack of willpower. There is a war happening inside of you, and most believers have never been taught how to fight it. In this episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis exposes the internal battle described in Scripture, the tension between flesh and Spirit, and why so many believers stay stuck in cycles of frustration, guilt, and defeat. We’re not talking about surface-level behavior modification.We’re talking about transformation from the inside out. If you’ve ever felt like: ● “Why do I keep going back to this?” ● “Why does obedience feel harder than sin?” ● “Am I the only one struggling like this?” This episode will open your eyes and give you a clear, biblical path forward. Because victory doesn’t come from trying harder…It comes from walking differently. Scriptures covered: Galatians 5:16–17 Romans 7:15–25 James 1:14–15 Here’s the Uncommon Truth: You don’t lose because you don’t love God… You lose because you’re trying to fight a spiritual war with natural strength.

Palm Sunday was a time of conflicting emotions, political and social dynamics, and the possibility of a coming Messiah. There was a lot of pressure on people, on the government and on Jesus. It’s no different for us today. If we are dealing with the pain and pressure of life, the best response is prayer, praise and worship. In this message from Corey Pearson, worship director at Covenant Life, we explore the various things that may be keeping us from fully praising God. We will discover together that praise built on outcomes doesn’t last in the face of pressure, but if our worship is built on our identity in Christ, it can endure the cross.

In this message, Pastor Dobs ministers from Matthew 21:9 and Matthew 21:16 on how the learned believers are working on perfecting their praise and their worship of Jesus. Scripture: Matthew 21:9 - Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Hosanna in the highest!” Matthew 21:16 -16 and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying? ”And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise’?”

Be comforted with the knowledge that Jesus is praying for you.

Be patient, and remain faithful. God's word is true, and it always comes to pass. It just might take some time.

What if the freedom you’ve been chasing… isn’t actually freedom? In today’s culture, freedom is defined as doing whatever you want, following your feelings, and living your truth. But what if that definition is incomplete, or even misleading? In this episode, we unpack a powerful truth that challenges the way most people think: what culture calls freedom, Jesus often calls bondage. You’ll discover why sin rarely looks like chains at first, how deception works by redefining truth, and why the very things people turn to for freedom often end up controlling them. We also explore the idea that obedience isn’t restriction, it’s protection. Just like guardrails on a mountain road, God’s commands aren’t there to limit your life, but to preserve it. Most importantly, you’ll hear what real freedom actually looks like, the kind of freedom that doesn’t just change your behavior, but transforms who you become. If you’ve ever felt stuck, restless, or unsure why “freedom” hasn’t delivered what you expected… this episode is for you. You think you’re free… but what if you’re actually trapped? This episode challenges everything culture says about freedom and reveals why following your feelings and doing whatever you want might be the very thing holding you back. Discover how real freedom is found….not in self-rule…..but in truth.
