Inspire Churches

Jesus said, “the harvest is ready, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that he would send laborers.” Notice that Jesus does not tell us to pray for the harvest–it’s ready–he tells us to pray for the church which seems to be too apathetic, ill equipped, or insecure to go out and proclaim the gospel. Because Christ died for the lost, Inspire Church should passionately pursue them and proclaim the good news. This is the primary mission of the church. In this episode we want to paint a picture of what it looks like to “tell the story and to live it out” in our own lives as we seek to become a church that lives in rhythms of witness. Panelists Name: Philip Muela & Roger Pethybridge Pastor Phillip Lee (Senior Pastor of Hope Community Church)

The book of Ruth has been called one of the most beautiful short stories ever told. It’s a human story about tragedy, loyalty, and love. But it’s also a divine story about how the invisible hand of God is redeeming and renewing the world through the personal lives of ordinary people. Join us as we explore the both the tragedy and hope of the opening lines of the story.

The motivation behind everything that we do at Inspire Church is the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is why our mission statement begins with the phrase, "We exist for the gospel to inspire" rhythms of life and movements of renewal. Everything that we do is in response to the goodness of God in Christ Jesus. In this episode, we want to paint a picture of what it looks like to "enjoy grace" in our own lives and the lives of our churches.

Signs of Glory // Easter 2025 by Inspire Churches

Throughout human history many men have made wild claims. But only one man claimed to the source of all life and then proceeded to validate that claim by showing up to a funeral and raising up a dead body. Join us as we look at Jesus’ final public miracle, resurrection life.

The work that God most desires to display is the Gospel: Jesus made it all, but we lost it all, so Jesus gave it all, and now we get it all.

Jesus the one who walks on water and calms the sea is more than a miracle worker. He is God revealed, God in flesh and God who has come to bring peace and order. Listen as Katherine Castrence takes a deeper dive on the fifth sign in the gospel of John.

Signs of Glory // The Bread by Inspire Churches

We are delving into the seven miracles in the Gospel of John, which he described as "signs." These signs serve not as ultimate ends but as guideposts leading us to the ultimate destination: the glory of Jesus Christ. While the first and second miracles prompted belief among those who witnessed them, affirming that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God, the reactions to the third miracle were divided between two groups. Even so, the glory of Jesus was revealed—despite the healed man's lack of awareness of who healed him, despite Jesus' goodness being unacknowledged, and even when awe was absent. God’s glory shines through Jesus’ acts of goodness, mercy, and compassion. Join us as we explore the profound story of the healing at the pool.

Why does the church have to talk about money? Why did Jesus spend 25% of his teaching addressing money, generosity, and financial stewardship? Because in spotlighting our spending, he can expose our hearts.

All of us are born into a nuclear family, but those who have put their faith in Jesus are born again into a new family. Join us as we discuss one of Jesus’ most subversive statements yet, “For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.”

We’re too busy to gather. We must work, raise kids, travel, and participate in youth sports. We have birthdays, baby showers, and weddings to attend. And yet we are confronted by a sacred text that reminds us that in order to be stirred up, we have to prioritize being with one another.

In a noisy, busy, overstimulated world, Jesus invites us to be deeply formed in the quiet and lonely places of prayer.
