Ep. 75 I Long For You (pt 1 of “You, Not Me: The Heart Of Worship”)

True worship is a deep longing for God that draws us to pursue His presence, honestly pour out our hearts, and cling to Him in hope—even when He seems distant—because every longing of our souls finds its fulfillment in Jesus. Psalms 42-43. 10-4-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 74 Secure (pt 8 of “A Firm Foundation”)

Because Jesus is the Good Shepherd who gave His life for His sheep, conquered death, and holds them securely in His hands, believers can rest confidently in the security of their salvation and respond by resting in, returning to, representing, and receiving the Shepherd. John 10:7–11, 14–18, 27–30. 9-27-63. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 73 Membership Has Its Privileges (pt 7 of “Firm Foundation”)

Because Jesus is our perfect High Priest, believers have direct access to God’s mercy and grace and are called to respond by offering their lives in worship, obedience, generosity, praise, and service. Hebrews 4:14–16; 1 Peter 2:5. 9-20-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 72 W-H-O-L-E Giving (pt 6 of “A Firm Foundation”)

Because everything we have comes from God, wholehearted generosity is more than giving money—it is an act of worship, honor, obedience, love, and evangelism that reveals what we truly treasure. Malachi 3:8–12; 2 Corinthians 9:7,11,13. 9-13-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 71 Turn Over Control (pt 5 of A Firm Foundation)

Paul shows us that the key to a Spirit-filled life is surrender—turning over control to the Holy Spirit so that His power can transform the way we worship, live, love, serve, and respond to the challenges of life. Ephesians 5:15-21. 9-6-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 70 Assembly Required (pt 4 of A Firm Foundation)

God gave us a spiritual family so that, together, we can draw near to Him, hold onto our hope in His promises, and encourage one another to love and good works. Hebrews 10:21-25. 8-30-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 69 Basics Of Believer’s Baptism (pt 3 of A Firm Foundation)

Biblical baptism is a believer’s first act of obedient discipleship—a public declaration of faith that identifies us with Christ, pictures His death, burial, and resurrection, and proclaims the transforming power of the gospel. Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 6:4-7. 8-23-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 68 Birthmarks Of A Believer (pt 2 of “A Firm Foundation”)

Spiritual birth leaves evidence. When we’re born again through faith in Christ, our lives begin to align with Him. Believers bear the birthmarks of Christ through confidence in salvation, commitment to love, and the consistent pursuit of a Spirit-led life. 1 John 5:11–13. 8-16-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 67 God’s Instruction Manual (pt 1 of “A Firm Foundation”)

Because Scripture is God's very Word, believers must rely on it to be shaped, strengthened, and equipped to persevere faithfully in every good work God has prepared for them. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. 8-9-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 66 Open My Eyes (pt 10 of “The Books Of Eli”)

When God opens our eyes to His perspective, we discover His presence, trust His protection, and extend His mercy to others. 2 Kings 6:8–23. 8-2-26. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com
