Dan River Church Podcast

Our faith in Jesus must be personal, but it cannot be private. The message and authority of Jesus will divide people. Jesus desires our complete loyalty and to be our first priority, but following Jesus has a cost.

Your words are the most powerful and most dangerous resource you will ever possess. The words you speak are powerful. They will bring healing or pain; they will unite or divide. The words you listen to are powerful since they determine what you believe about God, yourself, and others. And your words reflect your heart.

How can we truly forgive others? Forgiveness requires increasing our faith, looking inside first, giving what we have received, choosing healing and freedom, and surrendering control.

Unconditional love is uncommon, but not impossible. Unconditional love celebrates the success, releases the offense, endures the adversity, and sacrifices the agenda.

Since great relationships start with us, how can we be different in our relationships? Be different in your thinking, your heart, and your habits.

3 Essentials to Personal and Corporate Revival

When you are inside the belly of a fish (crisis), you quickly realize:1. You are not IN CONTROL.2. It's a good time to PRAY.1. Jesus has POWER AND AUTHORITY over all creation.2. Stop pursuing WORTHLESS IDOLS.3. SALVATION is found in Christ alone.4. HUMBLE yourself and CONFESS your sin.

The story of Jonah isn't about A FISH; it's about the Son of God. 1. Our BELIEFS will be challenged by our CIRCUMSTANCES.2. Our SIN impacts the PEOPLE CLOSEST TO US.3. Our BIASES could determine if others HEAR THE GOSPEL.4. Our REBELLION does not stop God's GRACE.

Hope is the confident expectation that there's more to come. Have you lost hope? When you feel betrayed, trust in the voice of God. When you feel like less than enough, focus on eternity with God. When you're tired of waiting, hold tight to the promises of God.

Busyness creates anxiety, division, and pride. Are you too busy? What's the solution to busyness? Start your day in God's presence. Stop trying to earn God's approval (which is based on who He is, not on what you can or will do). Schedule God's priorities.

Pastor Todd Hartley brings a word on how jealousy steals our Christmas. Jealousy troubles our hearts, hides the truth, removes our joy, impacts our actions, and focuses on what we may lose rather than what God has given.

Pastor Scott Randlett brings a powerful message in what steals our Christmas. We all have an ENEMY who wants to steal our TRUST in who God is.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd. You can know about the shepherd without knowing the shepherd. How can you truly know the Shepherd? Follow the voice, rely on the strength, and accept the love of the Shepherd.

Pastor Scott Randlett continues to preach on the I AM statements of Jesus. This week he takes a dive into, John 8:12 -- Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” Pastor opens his message reminding us that everyone starts life in the dark. We must understand that light defeats the dark, exposes the truth, heals the broken and revives what is dead.

As we begin this new series diving into the "I AM" statements of Jesus, Pastor Scott Randlett looks at the statement, "I am the bread of life." From this statement Jesus is telling us that he satisfies, strengthens and saves us, no matter the situation we are in.

Pastor Scott Randlett delivers an encouraging message on leadership. He opens his message by stating "Everybody can LEAD somebody, but leadership is INFLUENCE."Leaders always look beyond appearance.Leaders always go first.Leaders always desire to learn more.Leaders always pour into others.Leaders always examine their own life.

Pastor Scott Randlett covers a great portion of Timothy where Paul is teaching us to train to be godly. Training is always better than repairing. In order to train for Godliness we need to:Stay faithful to the gospel. Keep our eyes focus on eternity.Expect the pain and never give up.Realize that our integrity is far greater than our words.

Pastor Scott Randlett provides a great reminder on how we should pray and who we should pray for. Prayer is a conversation with God, and is very important in our relationship with Him. Jerry Falwell Sr. once stated, "Nothing of eternal significance is accomplished apart from prayer."

Pastor Scott Randlett begins our new series with not wasting our time. We need to stay focused on the Truth and stay amazed by the Gospel. These are two important details that are discussed throughout the first chapter of Timothy.
