God‘s word is our comfort. There is nothing more comforting than the sweet whisper of a father to His child saying everything is going to be all right. Those who find their comfort in God will find themselves blameless in God‘s eyes and will be found as a source of hope and joy in the eyes of others. Countless stories in scripture show us of the strongest men and women in history who found comfort in no other place than God‘s word. how can we be like them? let's find out.

God is 100% good. Everything He allows and does is ultimately for our good. We will explore God‘s goodness and how it will transform our perspective to live life confidently and hopefully and give us an increased desire to love God’s word. PSALMS 119:65-72. DONATE | AMEN MERCH

God is all we need. trusting that simple statement will make you live confidently and powerfully. you won’t compare. you won’t shame yourself. you’ll live free. but the world, the devil and your own self, want you to remain in slavery. so they say” you need a new vehicle, you need more followers, you need a relationship, you need more money”. in this episode we will listen to what God says about our needs, and what it looks like when His words change our perspective, purpose and inner person. donate

Jesus is risen, our hope is alive. Because he is alive, our hope of forgiveness, revival and eternity will never be taken from us. A major source of our irritability, frustration and sadness is from misplaced hope. Sometimes we may not even be aware of the things that we are hoping in. Any one or anything that we place our hope in outside of God‘s word is dangerous and doomed to disappoint. Today we will learn not only how to hope in God‘s word, but also what happens when we do. donate

we live in a world where if you do not think like everybody else you will get canceled and mocked and laughed at. The person that wrote psalms 119 lived in a similar world. In this episode, we will explore how the unfailing kindness and love of God empower us to live boldly, unashamed and full of freedom in the face of personal attacks from enemies within Christianity and from the outside. amenpodcast.com/donate

the word of God is the Christian’s teacher. teaching leads to learning and learning leads to growth. true growth is measured by how much we obey and delight in the teaching of the word of God. how can we learn to love what God’s word teaches and obey it supremely in our lives and thus experience the joy of growing in confidence, strength, peace and oneness with God? Well, tune in and listen up. donate

revival is defined by robert coleman as “the awakening or quickening of God's people to their true nature and purpose”. in order to receive revival and the new life that comes with it, our old life has to die. this is called dying to self in the bible. but what does that look like? we must know the answer to have this God-promised, new life from above breathed into us. amenpodcast.com/donate

Have you ever tried playing a game or building something without reading the instructions? At first, it’s exciting to take on the challenge of seeing if you can figure it all out yourself. But eventually, you find yourself confused and frustrated because things aren’t going right. The pieces aren’t fitting together.  Well, in the game of life, the Word of God is our guide! Like instructions or a map. In God’s word we will find freedom from the grip of sin and the emptiness of the world that a lot of us are chasing. it also helps us see past the lies of the world and the enemy and reveals the truth of God’s direction and plan for our lives. The Word of God must be our guide, otherwise we will roam this world defeated, wandering and lost. amenpodcast.com/donate

How do we stay pure when we live in a world that encourages us to just do whatever feels right? We do not have the power to overcome this on our own. We cannot muster up enough strength to keep ourselves from doing the things our flesh wants to do or to fight against some of the demonic forces that are behind temptations. We must find strength by hiding God’s word in our heart and truly delighting in it. We can’t just read and memorize scripture. We must love it more than anything else and believe that it is true. amenpodcast.com/donate 

Yesterday we got rid of the 2 tv’s we had in our house. Our oldest son, Amos, loves TV and one might say he was even addicted. When we first told him he was shocked for about 20 seconds, but once we explained why we were doing it and that having better integrity is important, he had the biggest smile on his face. Honestly, he was so joyful, I was the one left in shock. Alex will talk more about how true happiness and integrity are linked together by looking at Psalm 119:1-8. donate

God‘s plan is often different than the world’s spirituality says. God‘s plan is not just blessings and prosperity. It is deeper, darker, simpler, more mysterious, more beautiful and far greater than simple blessings. God‘s plan for you reveals who you are and who you will be. It reveals what has been predicted about you long before the creation of the universe. let’s explore God’s plan. amenpodcast.com/donate

without confidence, you’ll be afraid to make decisions, you won’t have direction, you’ll be afraid to speak up, you won’t know how to walk in your gifts, you won’t experience the joy of your salvation.

refusing to surrender to God is like not having taste. when we don’t surrender, we’re missing out of the abundance of life he has for us. without taste we are also in danger of eating something bad for us or choosing something God doesn’t want for us, because we’re still holding onto our own ways. real christians surrender. to know God is to surrender to His power and His plans. so, how do we surrender?

being faithful to Jesus is rare today. we are faithful to many others things, work, school, social media, friends, hobbies. but not to Jesus. when life gets hard we tend to get going and Jesus our faith behind. oswald chambers says, “The goal of faithfulness is not that we will do work for God, but that He will be free to do His work through us.” in this episode, alex will preach about what being faithful looks like in the next part of the Christmas story. www.amenchurch.live

have you ever heard the phrase built different? it’s a popular internet slang for being “unique, one of a kind, or not-the-norm” but most of the time it’s only applied to small quirks or talents people have. it’s even used in memes to joke about something weird a person does. it seems no one really knows what it TRULY means to be “built different” ….but Jesus does. in fact, Jesus is best friends with “built different” believers. unless we learn how to be built different we will never meet Jesus face to face in heaven and experience true life and purpose. www.amenpodcast.com
