Praise with Alan Beauchamp Podcast

In a culture obsessed with self-promotion, Philippians 2 calls us to something radically different: humility, unity, and Christ-centered love. This week Pastor Lynette shows us how selfish ambition quietly divides hearts, relationships, and churches; but how the Gospel invites us into a better way of living. Through practical truth, honest reflection, and Paul’s challenging words from prison, this message will encourage you to become the kind of person who reflects Jesus to a divided world.

What if following Jesus isn’t just about what you believe but how you live when pressure hits? Pastor Alan unpacks Philippians 1:27–30, and helps us discover what it really means to live as a citizen of heaven: standing firm, striving together, and refusing to flinch in the face of opposition. This is a call to a faith that’s not passive; instead it’s powerful, united, and unmistakably different.

Is the key to facing an uncertain future figuring everything out ahead of time or could it be settling what your life is really about? This week Pastor Alan helps us uncover how Paul stands on the edge of life and death with unshakable joy, and the four postures that gave him that kind of freedom. If you’ve ever felt anxious about what’s next, this will reframe your future in a way that changes how you live right now.

What if the worst thing happening in your life right now is actually the very thing God is using to move His story forward? This week Pastor Alan dives into Paul's letter from a Roman prison where hie is surrounded by political chaos, chained to soldiers, and betrayed by people on his own team. Yet he still says "I rejoice" why? If you've ever wondered what actually matters most when life gets hard and the pressure is real, this message will challenge you, unsettle you, and point you toward something worth building your life around.

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because God stopped working but instead He’s building something far bigger than you can see? This week Pastor Alan unpacks how prayer is meant to pull heaven into the middle of your real life, and why the promise of Philippians 1:6 changes everything about your growth. If you’ve ever felt stalled, distant, or just going through the motions, this will help you see what God is actually doing beneath the surface.

On the very day the tomb was found empty, two followers of Jesus walked away confused, disappointed, and convinced their hope was gone…until Jesus Himself showed up and started walking with them. What if the resurrection isn’t just something to celebrate for a moment, but a reality that meets you right in your questions, your doubts, and even when you’re heading the wrong direction? Pastor Alan will challenge you to see that Jesus isn’t waiting for you to have it all together, He’s already walking with you, inviting you to let Him in and experience a life-changing turnaround.

Sometimes in life it feels like you’re going backward. You find yourself tired, frustrated, and running on empty. This week Pastor Alan walks into the tension of the wilderness and exposes the deeper problem we often ignore: not our circumstances, but what’s broken within us. Through the strange and powerful story of the bronze serpent in Numbers 21, we’ll discover how we can end up resenting the very things we once prayed for, and how God meets us not by removing the struggle, but by making a way right in the middle of it. Ultimately pointing to Jesus in John 3, where He invites you to stop trying to fix everything yourself and instead find life in a simple, personal, and life-changing response: look and live.

Ever felt trapped in a dead end? What if that place is actually where God is about to do His greatest work? Pastor Alan talks about when the Israelites found themselves trapped between the sea and an approaching army, it looked like everything had gone wrong, but it was the exact moment God was preparing a rescue they could never create for themselves. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how God could possibly make a way forward, this Sunday come discover how the God who rescued people then still rescues people today.

What if one of Jesus’ most confusing parables is actually a wake-up call about how we’re living right now? This week Pastor Alan unpacks the shocking story of the dishonest manager and discover why Jesus says money, one of the least valuable things we own, is the most revealing test of our hearts. If time is short and eternity is real, the question becomes unavoidable: are we using what’s in our hands for what truly matters?

Since we are the church, our lives are the only Bible some people will read. Chaplain Justin Nichols instructs us to steward our calling. We are called to love and lead the people around us. Our calling empowers us to show, live, and bring Jesus to our circles.

In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a story that doesn’t feel fair. Some get five bags, some two, some one and suddenly we realize the “bags” in our own lives might look a lot like pain. What if the real question isn’t why you were given what you were given, but whether you will bury it, become defined by it, or entrust it back to a God who wastes nothing? Come discover how the valleys you never would have chosen can become wells of strength for others and how even your deepest hurt can grow into something eternally beautiful.

What if the way you train your body is shaping the strength of your faith? Today, Pastor Rocio unpacks 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 to help us discover how Paul’s picture of the ancient games in Corinth challenges us to run our spiritual race with purpose, discipline, and endurance. If you’re ready to align your physical health with your calling in Christ and run for an eternal prize, this word will inspire you to get back in the race and finish strong.

Often the most powerful doors God opens are to the people already in your life. This message from Colossians 4 unpacks how prayer, awareness, gratitude, and integrity shape a kind of influence that’s sacred, fragile, and deeply impactful. If you’ve ever wondered how to recognize the moments God is giving you, and steward them well. This is a message you don’t want to miss.

What if peace isn’t something you wait for, but something you learn to steward? From Philippians 4, Pastor Alan show teaches how to lead your inner life—redirect anxiety, guard your mind, and intentionally fill your thoughts with what is true and life-giving. If your mind feels noisy, your heart feels restless, or your soul feels tired, this message offers a practical path toward real, lasting peace.

What if faithfulness isn’t about trying harder but about paying better attention? In Ephesians 5, Paul calls us out of living on autopilot and into a grace filled, Spirit-led way of walking wisely in a world designed to distract us. Pastor Alan explores how stewarding your attention can redeem your time, awaken your faith, and help you live fully present to God and the people right in front of you.

What if stewardship isn’t about what you own—but about the very life you’ve been given? In Athens, Paul declares a God who doesn’t just give resources, but gives life and breath, entrusting every moment to our care. Pastor Alan invites you to slow down, breathe, and wrestle with the most important question of all: What am I doing with the life God is sustaining right now?

By examining Paul’s missionary work and the church in Ephesus Reverend Dennis Rivera gives us a guide for discipleship, faithfulness, and ministry.

God is not distant, since the garden He has been moving toward us, crossing every barrier our sin built, until Jesus became Emmanuel, “God with us”. From tent, to temple, to the Spirit dwelling in us, the story of Scripture is the God of love drawing near, not out of obligation, but delight. This Christmas, we remember that love is not an abstract idea, but a Father giving His beloved Son so that we might fully live in Him and live that love toward others.

When the future is uncertain, and strength has run out, God speaks a promise: deserts will bloom, the weak will be strengthened, and joy will break in where it seems impossible. Isaiah 35 reveals a joy that doesn’t wait for circumstances to improve, but arrives because Emmanuel, God is with us. Restoring what was lost and turning wilderness into a garden. Pastor Alan invites you to see Jesus as the safe path home, where sorrow flees, hope endures, and even the weary are carried all the way to joyous singing.

To protect our peace, we build fortresses against the wrong enemy. True Peace dismantles those walls brick by brick. Peace is a person, and He has come.

Pastor Heather walks us through the hope we find in Jesus.

In a world that often feels stuck in the middle between pressure, uncertainty, and the not-yet; Revelation 11 lifts the curtain on the moment everything finally turns, when God says, “ My kingdom come.” This week Pastor Alan takes us to the after of all redemptive history, where every injustice is answered, every tear is acknowledged, and gratitude erupts because the victory is undeniable. If you’ve ever wondered whether God will make good on His promises, this message will show you the end of the story—and why gratitude becomes the anthem of those who’ve seen Him carry them through.

Daniel’s world is turned upside down yet he shows us what it looks like to stay rooted in gratitude. His story reminds us that grace isn’t just found after the miracle, but right in the messy, uncertain, unfair middle. If you’re standing in a “middle” of your own, this message will help you see how gratitude can steady your soul and reveal God’s presence right where you are.

Imagine being tossed at sea for two weeks. The sun and stars gone, cargo gone, hope gone. Yet in the eye of that chaos one man’s simple act of faith changes everything.Paul stands, gives thanks before the outcome, and proclaims God’s promise, “Take courage; none of you will perish.” Showing how courageous gratitude steadies the soul and spills protection over everyone around us.Join us for Through It All to learn how to give thanks in the not-yet, hold fast when storms rage, and believe God before you can see the shore.

Missions Sunday

In the middle of a siege and locked in prison, Jeremiah gets a strange word from God: buy a field. What seems absurd in the moment becomes a living prophecy of hope, obedience, and trust in God’s timing. In this message, Pastor Alex explores how God still speaks through both words and actions inviting us to deeper trust, courageous obedience, and openness to the Spirit’s leading.

This message is for anyone who’s ever obeyed God and felt like it only made life harder. It’s for those who’ve grown weary of pretending everything’s fine, when deep down you’re not okay. “The Real You and the Real Jesus” reminds us that real transformation happens when we stop performing and start being honest with God, with ourselves, and with others.

This message is for anyone who’s ever obeyed God and felt like it only made life harder. It’s for those who’ve grown weary of pretending everything’s fine, when deep down you’re not. “The Real You and the Real Jesus” reminds us that real transformation—and real power—happens when we stop performing and start being honest with God, with ourselves, and with others.

When Jeremiah walked into the potter’s house, he didn’t just see clay being shaped — he saw the heart of God at work. A vessel that collapsed wasn’t thrown away; it was reformed in the potter’s hands, a living picture of mercy and second chances. This message reminds us that no matter how marred or hardened we’ve become, the Potter hasn’t left the wheel — and if we’ll yield to His touch, He can still reshape our lives, our callings, and even our future.

In the middle of collapsing empires and political chaos, God spoke to a young and hesitant Jeremiah. Instead of strategies or armies, God placed a personal call: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Jeremiah’s story reminds us that God is not surprised by our moment in history, rather He places His people in specific times and places on purpose. Just like Jeremiah, you don’t need to have it all figured out; you only need to raise the sail and let God’s Spirit provide the wind.

In a world where algorithms and A.I. keep pressing us into predictable patterns, Paul’s ancient words in Romans 12:2 ring louder than ever: Do not be conformed to this world. What if the greatest danger isn’t just bad information, but living on autopilot—outsourcing our thinking, our choices, even our desires to the default settings of culture? This message is an urgent call to let the Spirit renew our minds so that we don’t just copy and paste life, but live transformed lives that shine with the will of God.

AI promises connection, wisdom, prosperity, and purpose. But can it deliver, or is it just a cheap shortcut? In Mere Mortals, Pastor Dylan pulls Psalm 8 into the AI age to ask what really makes us human and why God crowns us with glory when we are so willing and quick to trade it for cheap imitations.

A young king admits he’s in over his head, asks God for an “understanding heart,” and receives wisdom sharp enough to reveal a true mother when two desperate women plead before him. Today, in a world where A.I. can sound certain while saying nothing true, the same Holy Spirit that gave the king discernment also teaches us to test every voice, weigh the fruit, and refuse to entrust our souls to algorithms. This message calls us to seek wisdom from above, train our hearts below, and place our full trust not in shifting systems but in Jesus—the way, the truth, and the life.

Humanity has always been tempted to use its inventions to make itself greater, from the Tower of Babel to today’s breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. The story in Genesis 11 isn’t just about bricks and towers, it’s a warning of what happens when technology becomes an idol that replaces our trust in God. In this message, we’ll explore how to engage with innovation without losing sight of the One who created us, and why only a living relationship with Jesus helps us not to build “artificial idols” of our own making.

From the very first pages of Scripture, the Bible shows humanity inventing, building, and shaping the world with God-given creativity—but Job reminds us that ingenuity is not the same as wisdom. We can mine the earth, split the atom, and even create artificial intelligence, yet without the fear of the Lord, all our progress can lead us astray. This message invites us to rediscover where true wisdom is found—not in the next breakthrough, but in the God who laid the foundations of the earth and in Christ, the wisdom of God.

Life has many different seasons. Some you love, some you’re just trying to survive, and others you wish you could return to but God is faithful through them all. His mercies are fresh every morning, and your circumstances don’t need to change for God to be with you and help you.

Elijah’s whirlwind exit wasn’t just the end of a prophet—it was the beginning of a greater move of God. Elisha’s uphill journey, armed with nothing but a borrowed cloak and bold faith, mirrors the path we’re all invited to walk—one where the Spirit isn’t reserved for a few, but poured out on all. You don’t need a mantle from a prophet; you need a moment with the Holy Spirit—because your peak is still ahead.

When King Ahaziah ignored God and leaned on idols, he found himself face to face with the same truth his father rejected and the fire of God’s judgment fell. But hidden in this dramatic showdown is a glimpse of the mercy that would one day come through Jesus. Come discover what it means to stand on truth.

When the kings of Israel and Judah forged a dangerous alliance, they chose compromise and crowd-pleasing over courage and truth — but one lone prophet refused to bow to their lies. In a court full of flattery and false promises, Micaiah stood alone and spoke only what the LORD said, reminding us that moral courage is found in the presence of the true King. This sermon will challenge you to ask: when pressure comes, will you have the backbone to stand for truth, no matter the cost?

When a sulking king covets a vineyard, a sinister plot unfolds that shakes a nation — but what happens when the worst king humbles himself before God? Pastor Alan reveals how pride poisons us, how injustice masquerades as righteousness, and how even the most undeserving can find mercy in God’s eyes. If God showed grace to Ahab, imagine what He can do for you — it’s never too late to turn around.

In a battle between two broken kings, God proves He is not just the God of the mountain—but of the valley too. When the enemy thinks God’s power is limited to the high places, the Lord shows up in the low ones, not just to deliver, but to reveal who He truly is. This week Pastor Alan challenges us not to trade divine victory for personal comfort, but to let the battle lead us to deeper obedience, worship, and relationship with the One who is Lord over every terrain.

Elisha was just a sweaty farmhand behind a plow when Elijah’s smelly cloak landed on his shoulders—and without a word, his whole life changed. This week Pastor Alan talks about what it means to say yes to God with your whole heart, not later, not halfway, but right now, with no backup plan. If you've ever felt unsure, worn out, or like God’s asking for more than you think you have, this is the week you need to tune in.

Elijah thought he was done—alone, exhausted, and ready to quit. But God didn’t show up with fire or thunder; He came in a whisper, asking, “What are you doing here?” This message is for anyone stuck in the same script, believing the same lie—because sometimes the most loving thing God does is rebuke us… and then call us to stand again.

What do you do when you're done—when exhaustion, disappointment, and fear have pushed you to the edge? In one of the most vulnerable moments of Elijah’s story, we find a God who doesn’t condemn, but supplies a meal, provides rest, and reminds us the journey’s not over. If you’ve ever felt like giving up, join us this Sunday and discover how Jesus shows up in the wilderness, not with rebuke, but with life.

There is a showdown on Mt. Carmel. Elijah faces off with the prophets of Baal and it’s gonna be fire! Grab your Bible, turn to 1 Kings 18, and hear the prayer Elijah prayed - a prayer that James references as a model for us. Come along with us and see how God prepares us through faithfulness, challenges us at the crossroads of culture and conviction, and teaches us that the most powerful prayers are often the quietest.

In 1 Kings 18 we find a land devastated and scorched by 3½ years of drought, God sends Elijah to deliver a promise of rain—but first comes a confrontation with sin, idolatry, and spiritual decay. As Obadiah quietly resists from within the palace and Elijah boldly steps into danger, we see a powerful collision between mercy and truth. This message reveals how God often allows dryness not to punish us, but to wake us—inviting us to return to Him before the rain falls.

Pastor Alan Beauchamp walks us into the chaos of ancient Israel—assassinations, civil war, and idol worship—where one unlikely man dares to confront the king and challenge the god of rain. In a world ruled by power and politics, Elijah quietly appears and starts a journey of bold faith, miraculous provision, and unexpected revival. Pastor Alan’s message isn’t just a history lesson—it’s the start of a faith story that reminds us God often does His deepest work in the most desperate places.

What if the resistance you’re facing isn’t a sign of failure, but proof of your identity in Christ? Pastor Alan reminds us that we don’t fight for our identity—we fight from it, resting in what Jesus has already finished, walking it out daily, and standing firm when the pressure comes. You are who He says you are—now live like it.

In the wilderness, people left behind their routines and reputations to confess their sins and step into muddy waters—not for tradition, but transformation. John the Baptist called for real repentance, and Jesus, though sinless, led the way in obedience, showing us that baptism is not about ritual but surrender. It’s not the water that makes us new—it’s the decision to trust, obey, and follow the One who stepped in first.

You are not just someone who goes to church—you are the church, the living, breathing sanctuary of God’s presence. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, meaning every step you take is on holy ground and every interaction is a chance to reflect God’s love. Your life isn’t divided into sacred and secular—it’s all sacred now, because you are the temple.
