The Burning Witnesses Podcast

Empowered to be Witnesses

We live in the reality of the resurrection and the One who is alive from the dead and ascended on high, is head over a body and Lord over a people. He has purchased this people with is own blood (Revelation 5)

He has given us the down payment of the Spirit which has empowered us to be witnesses in the earth. Will you rely on the power of the Spirit to be representative of Jesus where he has planted you in the earth?

 

 

 

Bearing God's Burden

This message is about bearing God's burden in the place of priesthood in our daily lives.

God's intentions toward every believer if for them to live individually as a priest and to enjoy the realities and power of priesthood and to see our lives joined into a spiritual family, a church, that are cultivating ongoing life together in priestly rhythms.

May God have a people who live before Him as priests!

A Peculiar People

In Ephesians 5, Paul charges the church to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. This is not just an individual pursuit but a collective calling—that a people, together, would discover what is pleasing to God and live their lives as a royal priesthood under His leadership.

This means that our faith is not passive; it requires active pursuit. We are called to be on a continuous journey of discovery, seeking out the things that bring delight to God and aligning our lives accordingly.

Testimony of the Temple

God is knitting the hearts and lives of His people together, creating a Temple that will produce a Testimony to the world and the rulers and powers of the air.

Our lives are intended to give off a witness to the rest of the world what it looks like to live free from the influence of the world and be ruled over by God.

It will be believable to the world because they will see it in the Church!

Dead or Alive?

There are only two types of people. It is not good people and bad people, but DEAD people and ALIVE people. We are either DEAD in our sin or ALIVE in Christ!

Listen as Michael preaches from Ephesians 2 and shares his own testimony of encountering Jesus and being made alive in Christ. Instantly delivered from a lifestyle of drugs, promiscuity, and anger and made into a new creation in Christ.

The Beauty and Worth of Jesus

Evidence of Affection

Finding Delight in God

Is your life being lived as a demonstration of joy, hope, and purpose? How do you define success?

We should find our significance, value, and joy in Jesus. Doing all things unto the Lord. Doing the significant unseen things as an offering of devotion to God.

We often times measure our success by the things we do for God and not our every day and ordinary devotion to Him and satisfaction in Him.
