In his sermon "Love Your Enemies," part of his ongoing series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Micah Stephens explores the radical call to love those who oppose us by following Christ’s example—dying for us while we were still God’s enemies. He clarifies that "an eye for an eye" was meant to limit retribution, ensuring punishment fits the crime, not to license unchecked vengeance, while "turning the other cheek" is often misinterpreted as passivity but is actually a strategic de-escalation to break cycles of retaliation. Stephens emphasizes that loving enemies as Jesus did isn’t a path to weakness or abuse but a powerful tactic to reflect Christ’s love, trusting God’s wrath and the Holy Spirit’s conviction to transform lives far beyond what human justice or vengeance could achieve. He urges believers to relinquish personal retaliation, allowing God to work in their enemies’ hearts through love.Verse References: Matthew 5 verses 38-48, Exodus 21 verses 23-25, Proverbs 16 verse 32, Proverbs 26 verse 4, Romans 12 verses 19-21, Acts 20 verse 35, Luke 6 verse 45, 2 Timothy 3 verses 16-27, Romans 5 verse 8Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

In this episode of Faith Forward, Pastor Rob McCoy, Pastor Micah Stephens, and Garrett Backstrom unpack President Trump’s March 4th speech to the Joint Session, critiquing the Democrats’ apparent indifference to applauding a child cancer survivor or empathizing with mothers grieving daughters killed by illegal immigrants, suggesting a prioritization of political revolution over genuine American struggles. They also address the "woke right" and its misguided antisemitism, arguing that while Israel, like all nations, is flawed due to human imperfection, it’s inaccurate and unfair to scapegoat Jews for all societal evils. The trio wraps up the discussion with a lighter segment, sharing their favorite book recommendations for viewers, blending political commentary with personal insights in this faith-driven conversation.Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

In his sermon "Jesus For My Family - Passover," Pastor Rob McCoy bridges the books of Exodus and Mark to illuminate the profound connection between the first Passover in Egypt and the final Passover meal Jesus shared with His disciples before His crucifixion. He explains how the Israelites’ act of marking their doors with lamb’s blood to escape the Angel of Death foreshadowed Christ’s ultimate sacrifice as the Passover Lamb, whose blood spares humanity from the judgment of sin. McCoy underscores that just as the lamb’s blood ensured the firstborn’s survival in Exodus, Christ’s blood secures eternal life for believers, weaving a consistent thread of redemption through Scripture. He marvels at how God’s story of salvation, culminating in Jesus, unfolds as the central narrative of world history, inviting families to embrace this timeless truth.Verse References: Exodus 12 verses 1-29, Mark 14 verses 23-25Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

In this powerful episode of the sermon series, "A Man Named Daniel," Pastor Craig Linquist unpacks the extraordinary life and visions of Daniel from the biblical book that bears his name. Unlike the major prophets, Daniel stands out as a unique figure—prophetic in nature, he received divine visions that span the entirety of human history, from his day to the end of time. Pastor Craig addresses the debates surrounding the book’s authorship, noting that even Jesus Himself affirmed Daniel’s significance. Through this sermon, listeners are reminded that the book of Daniel serves as a testament to God’s omniscience—knowing the end from the beginning—and His ability to work miracles through a surrendered life.

In his sermon "Shiprah & Puah," Pastor Rob McCoy draws from the book of Exodus to explore the life of Moses, dividing it into three distinct phases: his upbringing in Pharaoh’s house, his time as a shepherd in the Midian desert, and his role as the leader of God’s people after their liberation from Egypt. Pastor Rob highlights Moses’ early pride and reliance on his own understanding, exemplified by his murder of an Egyptian in a misguided attempt to liberate his people—an act with good intentions but flawed execution, a pitfall many face when disconnected from God’s will. He emphasizes that even well-meaning efforts can falter if not aligned with divine guidance, using Moses’ later disobedience—striking a rock instead of speaking to it as God instructed—as a cautionary tale that cost him entry into the Promised Land. Pastor Rob urges listeners to trust God’s direction, warning that taking matters into our own hands risks failure, while obedience to His commands unlocks the fullness of His promises.Verse References: Exodus 4 verses 1-17Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

In his sermon titled "The Great Commission," Pastor Rob McCoy delves into the teachings from the book of Matthew, emphasizing Jesus' assertion of His divine authority equal to God the Father. Pastor McCoy explains that with this authority, Jesus commissions His followers to make disciples across all nations, not merely converts. He stresses the importance of active disciple-making through sharing personal testimonies and experiences, arguing that the decline in this practice has led to a society where many only give lip service to faith without understanding its deeper implications or the call to engage in public life. Pastor McCoy urges his congregation to embrace their role in this mission, advocating for a return to making true disciples who live out and defend the truth of Jesus Christ.Verse References: Matthew 28 verses 18-20Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

In "Cast It From You," Pastor Micah Stephens deepens his exploration of the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing Jesus' teachings on sin beyond the physical acts. He explains that murder includes not only the act of killing but also hateful speech, while adultery encompasses lustful thoughts, highlighting the seriousness of these sins in God's eyes. Pastor Stephens questions whether these commandments are for God's benefit or ours, urging believers to consider how far they will go to emulate Christ. He vividly illustrates the gravity of these sins by referencing the drastic measures Jesus suggests — like removing a part of one's body to avoid hell — to stress that as Christians, our actions should reflect Christ's image, not distort it through murder or adultery, which misrepresent our Lord to the world.Verse References: Matthew 5 verses 27-30, Matthew 28 verses 19-20, Ephesians 5 verses 31-32, 1 Kings 11 verses 1-2, Deuteronomy 22 verse 22, Revelation 2 verses 20-23, Romans 1 verses 24-25, James 1 verses 14-15, 2 Samuel 11 verses 2-4, Proverbs 2:26-27, Exodus 15 verse 6, Genesis 38 verses 11-12, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Hebrews 12 verses 16-17, 1 Corinthians 10 verse 13, Romans 8 verse 18, 1 John 1 verses 7-9, James 5 verse 16, Titus 2 verses 11-12Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

In episode 10 of the Faith Forward Podcast, Pastor Rob McCoy, Pastor Micah Stephens, and Garrett Backstrom dive into the implications of Bobby Kennedy's confirmation as HHS director on the health of American citizens, particularly children. They also address the revelations from DOGE, under Elon Musk's leadership. The conversation turns to the role of churches in promoting a Christian worldview and how they can better articulate what's uniquely valuable about America to its people. The hosts tackle the question of why Christians might support figures like Trump, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr., suggesting that the church's withdrawal from public discourse has led to God using these individuals to steer the country back on track.Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
