Ep. 35 The Servant Love Of Jesus (pt 3 of A Savior Is Born)

The Son of God—who arrived humbly, lived selflessly, and died sacrificially—calls us to a life marked by the same love. From the manger’s straw to the cross’s wood, His humility is not only our salvation but also our example. Luke 2:1-7 / Philippians 2:5-11. 12-21.25.

Ep. 34 The Joy Of Anticipation (pt 2 of A Savior Is Born)

True Christmas joy is born the moment we believe God’s promises, grows as we share the good news of Jesus, and endures as we fix our eyes on the joy He envisioned beyond the cross. Luke 1:39-45 / Luke 2:8-15. 12-14-25. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 29 Your Biggest Fan

God is not a distant observer but your greatest admirer—your “biggest fan”—who relentlessly seeks, saves, savors, soothes, and shouts over you in love, proving that His devotion to you is deeper and louder than any earthly fan’s enthusiasm. Zephaniah 3:17. 11-9-25. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 28 Stand Courageously (pt 3 of Game Changer)

Real courage is choosing unwavering faith in God over compromise, trusting that even if the fire comes, He will meet us there for our good and His glory. Daniel 3:13–18, 26–28. 11-2-25. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 27 Pray Fervently (pt 2 of Game Changer)

When life’s pressures threaten to overwhelm us, fervent prayer connects us to God’s wisdom, power, and purpose—transforming panic into peace, dependence into confidence, and our crises into opportunities to reveal His greatness. Daniel 2:14-24,27-30. 10-26-25. Colonial Church in Wichita Falls. www.colonialchurch.com

Ep. 26 Develop Conviction (pt 1 of Game Changer)

Although culture constantly pressures believers to conform, true followers of God must purpose in their hearts to honor Him above all—resisting compromise, revealing conviction through obedience, and trusting that God will ultimately reward their courage and faithfulness to fulfill His greater purpose.
