Firehouse Revival

In this remarkable episode, Ed Holmes knits together last week's message on suffering with the Biblical understanding of comfort. So often we are coming to the God of Comfort to remove all pain and suffering, when Paul reframes this posture in 2 Corinthians: God’s comfort is perseverance and encouragement in the midst of suffering—not simply the removal of pain.You will be encouraged to grow stronger by trusting God through hardship rather than avoiding, numbing, or withdrawing from community. Also, Ed offers an invitation to not only recognize God’s presence in present struggles, but also to share those stories of His faithfulness with one another.

This message will radically open your eyes to one of the most profound and glorious revelations of God: He is the One who chose to suffer. Caleb Messerall explains how suffering and love are indelibly connected, how only through a revelation of the Godhead's suffering can each of us begin to grasp His everlasting Love. You will be encouraged and empowered throughout this entire message!

What a divine mystery to behold the truths of our God who stands outside of space, matter, and time and yet chose to create it all...and then to step INTO that very substance and make Himself so very near to each and every one of us. It will take an eternity to being to grasp this magnificent, majestic, and loving Father, Son and Spirit. Join us in this episode as we stand in awe of the scriptures as they reveal the character of our God.

The Name of Jesus is the most powerful name in the universe. What a privilege we have to pray in His Name, to be saved and healed by His Name, and to partner with the Holy Spirit to do mighty works in His Name. But to live 'in His Name' is a posture of total surrender, humility and death to self. In this series, you will learn about all the names that live inside the Name of Jesus and stand in awe of the beauty and power of His Name!

Are you skimming over the stories you think you already know? Think again. In this episode, Pastor Jay Venzke opens up the Parable of the Prodigal Son and invites us into a deeper understanding of God's heart. This parable is not just about the actions of BOTH the sons, it's about choice, identity, and the depths of the Father’s heart, . This teaching will shift your perspective and renew your hope. Get ready to see yourself—and God—in a whole new light.

Renewing the mind isn’t simply self-improvement. It’s not behavior modification that we achieve through our own efforts. Authentic transformation only happens with Jesus at the helm. He teaches us how to see, how to feel and how to think, and then beautiful change from the inside out transforms us into His image. In this teaching, Ed Holmes shares his own journey with the Lord and how he was able to get unstuck from guilt, shame, and frustration as he allowed Jesus to reset his character to God’s original intention. Get your journal and pen ready…you will learn keys that will help bring transformation into your life!

The Holy Spirit is the only One who can reveal the Father to you and me...and we need Him to do this daily. Imagine a life in which you truly never feared, felt 'less than,' or worried about tomorrow. This freedom only comes through a deep revelation that Jesus came to show us the Father, and gave us the authority to become children of God. Wow. Let's go after this with a hungry, humble heart!!

Carol Howard is a true friend of God. She and her husband, Jeff, began ministering in the Philippines over 20 years ago, and the wonders of Jesus they were blessed to witness are awe-inspiring. Even after Jeff graduated to heaven, Carol still travels today to bring the Gospel and the signs and wonders that follow. Prepare your heart to hear these incredible testimonies!

The Holy Spirit has never changed: in Genesis, we see Him hovering over chaos, separating light from darkness. And still today He hovers over the chaos of our souls, and calls out the light from the darkness. He draws us to Jesus, and transforms us little by little into the image of Jesus, by recovering sight to our blindness.It’s not about reaching or earning; it's about recognizing what’s already inside of us! The Spirit of Jesus and the Father lives within us—giving us boldness, sight, and power to know and experience Jesus more intimately to become more like Him.

The Day of Pentecost is a momentous event in the history of the Church. The infilling and pouring out of the Holy Spirit is the culmination of Jesus's finished work on the Cross, of His resurrection and of His ascension. Because of the Holy Spirit that you and I are never alone. That we our eyes are open to see Jesus rightly. That we have the power and authority to live out the Great Commission! In this message, through this lesson taught by Pastor Molly, the power of the Holy Spirit will ignite a fire in your heart to draw nearer to Him every day of your life.

While the world is focused on wealth, popularity, and extraordinary power, the eyes of heaven are upon the meek, the lowly and the people who are simply seeking to love the Lord. These are the ones Jesus spent most of His time with. He values character, humility, and the simplicity of being a light wherever we go. In this lesson, Caleb Messerall brings an incredibly encouraging message about the power (dare we say "extraordinary power"?) of an ordinary life. You will never be the same after hearing this teaching!

As Jesus followers, we are given a promise that we can be holy as He is holy...but how is that even possible? Caleb Messerall breaks down what holiness is and what it is not, and teaches a powerful message about how to walk in holiness through the wonderful Holy Spirit. This podcast will challenge and encourage you to step out in a greater depth of the gift of holiness.

While the world seems to be going crazy, we can find our hearts careening into worst case scenarios. And then our peace goes with it. But Jesus made a promise that even in the midst of the world's tribulations, we need not worry, and that in Him we can have perfect peace. But how to we do that?! In this episode, you will be encouraged to grab on to Hope, even when the world seems hopeless.

2000 years ago Jesus surprised His followers when He taught how to love our neighbor, and who exactly our 'neighbor' was. Today, we still struggle to love those people who are diametrically opposed to us or even those who hurt us. But Jesus' love on the cross redefines who and how we love. This teaching will both convict AND encourage you to stretch your heart to love ALL people in your community.

The love of Jesus is unmatched! His life, death, and resurrection reveal His heart for us, and to comprehend it takes a life time! One of the most precious ways Jesus demonstrated His love was when He washed the feet of His disciples and then gave us a new commandment: Love each other as I have loved you. Wow. In this teaching, you will hear this account like never before and your heart will burn with a deep love for Jesus.

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the multitudes welcomed Him and cried out “Hosanna! Save us!” Hopes were high for the restoration of Israel. And in just a few days, many of these same people would cry, “Crucify Him!” What caused this drastic shift?? Pastor Jay dives into the scriptures and walks us through some very beautiful and convicting truths about this moment in Jesus’s earthly ministry. *** NOTE: the beginning few minutes were not recorded, so please refer to Mark 11:1-11 ***

The Cross is the apex of our Christian faith. God Himself stripped Himself of deity and wrapped Himself in a body so that He could become the eternal sacrifice that reconciled all men and women back to the Father. What a God! There is no one like our God. Join us in a journey to the Cross as we stand in awe of our wonderful Jesus.

We all love renewal…but the victory of renewal in our lives usually comes after a wilderness season of repentance and wrestling. Pastor Jay Venzke teaches how to operate with the Spirit and His power as you walk through wilderness seasons. You will be encouraged with hope and strength as Jay gives several ways to gird yourself up when you are in the throes of the transition from repentance to renewal.

This incredible teaching by Caleb Messerall with fill you with strength and joy. He explains the absolute beauty of repentance and how it opens the door to a deeper intimacy with Jesus. True repentance has nothing to do with shame or condemnation...it's the goodness of God that leads us to repent, and in this lesson, you will encounter His goodness!

There are crossroads in our faith when we don’t understand: unanswered prayers, delayed promises, or even God’s ways that seem so unreachable with our hearts. At these crossroads, we can choose the path of doubt and despair, or the path of faith and hope. Choose HOPE! This lesson will help you anchor your mind and heart into the only One who holds our hope.

How deeply do you trust Jesus? When He speaks easy truths, we are quick to agree, but when His words are more difficult to swallow, do we pack up and walk away? In John 6, we see how many disciples left Jesus because they didn't understand what He was teaching. But when Jesus turned to the Twelve, they expressed their love and loyalty to WHO Jesus was, as opposed to what He was saying. We can all have this type of firmly rooted love and trust for Jesus, and this lesson will reveal how.

Holy Communion is one of the highest and most sacred expressions of our Christian faith. The early church and the founding fathers of our faith cherished this sacrament as a miraculous mystery through which we partake intimately of the eternal Son of God, His Passion and His Resurrection. Through communion there is forgiveness of sins, divine healing, unification of the Body, and so much more. In this lesson, we open scripture to deepen our revelation of holy communion and learn the power of taking the Body and the Blood.

In this dynamic lesson, Jay Venzke teaches about the absolute authority of God's Holy Word. The Bible isn't just a book; its words are brought to life by the Holy Spirit and heals your flesh, renews your mind, and reshapes the world around you.

The Holy Word of God is alive and powerful! It's not just something to add to your life...it actually IS your very life. Jesus taught us that His Words are the very substance of our faith, and the means by which we build every aspect of our lives. In this lesson you will be inspired to go deeper into His Word and to stand more powerfully on its authority.

As we begin a series about the Authority of the Word, Caleb Messerall shares a powerful message about the role the Word can have in each of our lives. Are you in charge of your life, or is the Word in charge of your life? How much have you allowed God's word to shape, to refine, and even kill you? It's the degree that we've died to self that we will experience the power and glory of God in our lives. You will be convicted AND inspired!

Is there a certain kind of prayer that pleases God? Am I doing it right? Am I doing it enough? You might be surprised!

The richness of the Magi account is so much more than the wealth they brought to worship Jesus. They possessed a hunger to experience the Kingdom of God, a patience to wait upon the Lord for the signs, a courage to leave their comfort and make a perilous journey, and a humility to bow down to a humble baby boy. You will be both challenged and inspired by this powerful lesson. ** NOTE: ** The live discussions from this service were edited out.

Jesus is the True Light that illuminates every single person...the fact you can think and read this right now IS part of the Light of Jesus! The first of creation was Light, made by THE Light, and THIS is the Light that was born in Bethlehem. And the darkness has never overpowered this God, this Life, this Light, This Son of the Most High God. Allow the awe of the Incarnation fill your heart as you listen to this teaching.

“Glory to God in the Highest!” was heralded from the night sky. And yet the Most High became the lowest because He loved us so much. Jesus could’ve came on the earth in any family, in any way, and He chose the most humble young girl betrothed to a humble and poor man. And the moment He was born, the sky exploded with a Host of Angels announcing the Savior to the most lowly of shepherds. What an awesome God!

Faith that is not tested is not faith. And sometimes these tests of our faith hit us suddenly like a Goliath shouting us down! Jesus told us that when we are pressed on every side, we have to stand and take the Kingdom by force. In this lesson, you will get five smooth stones to kill any Goliath that would try and bully your mind and soul.

We are so lucky to be alive right now! The Lord is offering more of Himself, drawing us closer to His heart, and asking us to respond with a YES!

In Matthew 25, Jesus teaches a profound parable about 10 virgins: 5 wise and 5 foolish. The one thing that distinguished each 5 was their stash of oil, or the presence and relationship with the Holy Spirit. Every day Jesus comes to invite us into an adventure...but do we have the oil to obey and to shine brightly to those around us?

In Matthew 25, Jesus teaches a profound parable about 10 virgins: 5 wise and 5 foolish. Deep in these scriptures are invitations for each of us, as Jesus followers, to draw nearer to the heart of Jesus...but sometimes our own hearts get in the way. Listen and be inspired to Trim the Wick!

If you find yourself getting bogged down and discouraged with what's happening in our world...you MUST listen to this.

Are you living free? I mean, completely free? The Holy Spirit has been poured out, and it is for freedom that you have been set free! Jesus wants freedom for you so badly that He came and paid the most costly price for you to experience it. Listen and be encouraged!

The Holy Spirit offers us transformation every single day of our lives, and it's through the encouragement and love of conviction. The Lord loves you too much to leave you the way that you are, and so He woos you into becoming more like Jesus ... it only costs you your flesh. :) You will laugh and be encouraged as you listen and learn from this powerful lesson.

The Holy Spirit wants all of you so that He can empower every aspect of your life. But so often, we like to stay in control and only invite the Holy Spirit in when it's convenient for us.
