Every day, somebody is discipling you. Preachers. Podcasts. YouTube. TikTok. News networks. Political commentators. Social media. We have access to more voices than ever before, but access to information isn't the same thing as biblical discernment. In UNC042, Jon Ellis asks a challenging question: Who is discipling you? Beginning with Jesus' words in John 8 and the example of the Bereans in Acts 17, Jon explores what it means to test what we hear against Scripture, even when it comes from a preacher or teacher we trust. This episode also introduces a new rhythm for The Uncommon Christian: The Uncommon Truth, The Uncommon Response, and Live Uncommon. Because the goal isn't simply knowing what Jesus said. The goal is becoming the kind of person who does what Jesus said. What happens when Scripture disagrees with something you've always believed? For the Uncommon Christian, Scripture wins.

In this message, Pastor Dobbs ministers from II Corinthians 4:7-10 on how we may have to deal with difficult circumstances, but with God's power working in us, learned believers do not quit. Scripture: II Corinthians 4:7-10 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

Are you living in full victory, or are you just getting by? In this powerful message, "Beyond Forgiveness: Power Over Darkness," Pastor Mark Stroud breaks down what it truly means to be justified in Christ.

In this message, Pastor Dobbs ministers from Psalm 78:4 on how learned grandparents tell of God's strength and God's wonderful works. He ministered this message on Grandparent's Day as Overcomers Christian Center celebrated our grandparents. Scripture: Psalm 78:4 - We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

Between the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and the loss of two members of our church, this has been a difficult week for many. It’s easy to believe that bad things only happen to sinners, but the truth is that bad things happen to good people every day. Jesus said as much in Matthew 7:24-27. In this passage, He contrasts the difference between what happens to those who follow Him and what happens to those who don’t, but do you know what they had in common? The storm came for both of them. You can be the chief of sinners or the chief of saints, but the rain is going to fall, the wind is going to blow, and the floods are going to come against both houses. Being a follower of Jesus does not mean you won’t face any tragedies or that your life will be perfect. Jesus said that the distinction between the two is not whether or not the storm comes but the foundation on which you build your house. The houses look the same in the sunshine, but the difference gets really clear when the storm rolls in.
