Metro Life Church Podcast

How many of you know what a bouncer is? A bouncer is a person employed by an establishment to prevent troublemakers from entering or to eject them from the premises. Have you ever seen a bouncer throw someone out of a venue? That bouncer determined that someone’s presence and actions were not welcome in that establishment. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran talks about how you are God’s child and how God’s love is your bouncer. God does not want fear in His establishment. If your heart is filled with God’s love, then there’s no room in there for fear. Has fear stopped you in the middle of an attack? Has what was meant to be a season become a lifestyle for you? If you’ll receive God’s perfect love, fear will have no option but to go. Allow God’s bouncer to throw out fear from your life so that you can obtain the promise that awaits you.

In this message, Pastor Alicia Moran talks about the power of the imagination and the part it has to play in fear having access to us and our outcome. The enemy likes to present himself in our thought life. This is his access point. So to have access in any area of our lives, he begins in our thought life. These thoughts are always on assignment to bare some sort of fruit in our lives. A thought allowed to stay becomes a meditation of the heart. According to 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 it says we are to pull these thoughts down, cast them out, and replace them with God's thoughts. We must realize the power of casting down imaginations the enemy will feed you, and begin to replace those images with God-given dreams and promises. See yourself on the the other side of adversity, having kept your confidence and obtaining the reward!

Too many times we make the wrong decisions at the wrong times in our lives. If you haven’t already, you will come to a point in life where your every decision is critical – life or death. What you do in that moment can either make or break you. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran will discuss the one thing that you should not cast away – your confidence. Fear causes us to lose confidence. Casting away our confidence causes us to lose our reward. Rewards come through developed endurance. If you can outlast the storm, your reward will outweigh your trouble. There is a reward for you that satan will do everything within his power to stop you from obtaining. Stay in faith, remain confident, and weather the storm with hope, trust, and an unwavering confession of faith.

As Christians, we must do as Christ did and center our lives not around ourselves – but around others. If whatever we plant in the house of God will flourish, we must bring this opportunity to those we are in relationship with. This begins with our lives flourishing for others to see. Believe it or not, your life is a marketing tool. In this message Pastor Caleb Moran talks about how planting our network in the house of God is one of the greatest things that we can do for the Kingdom. Church should never be your “best kept secret”; it should always be the greatest testimony and marketing strategy of your life.

Inside every person are gifts and talents that God has given them to be used for His glory. Often times people use their gifts for their own glory and gain – never planting them in the house of God to be used to help others. When your gift is planted in God’s house, not only will you flourish, but you will help someone else flourish. God has designed you for a purpose, and has placed within you a gift that He desires for you to plant in His house. Many times, God will reveal your gift to you when you make the choice to plant yourself.

Anything you plant, you desire for it to grow and flourish – not just through one season, but through all seasons, and for as long as possible. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran talks about planting our Resources in the house of God. When we are planted, God grows and increases us to be used for the building of His house. Planting your resources in God’s house enables you to be fruitful and flourishing throughout the seasons of life. When you plant your resources in the house of God, you become a flourishing asset that He continually uses to build His Kingdom.

We are designed for relationships. Relationships define us, grow us, challenge us, strengthen us, and bless us. In this message Pastor Caleb Moran talks about how life change happens in the context of relationships. We are a church OF Community Groups rather than a church WITH Community Groups. Community Groups are a place you can be equipped to become more like Jesus and to live a faith-filled life.

Anything you plant, you desire for it to grow and flourish – not just through one season, but through all seasons, and for as long as possible. What does it mean to be a person who is planted somewhere? What can you and or should you plant? In this message Pastor Caleb Moran talks about planting yourself in the house of God. When you plant yourself, you begin to see what you are truly made of. The House of God is known for producing the best fruit in any plant. Determine to live a planted life and you will begin to flourish.

In this day and age, we would like nothing to do with process. Not only do we want the end result, but we want the fast track to get there. The problem is that on the fast track, you miss all the necessary ingredients that make you ready to obtain the promise. In this message Pastor Alicia Moran talks about how there is always purpose in the process. There are times when it feels like process is destroying you, delaying you and discouraging you-but its quite the opposite. Determine to yield yourself to the POWER OF PROCESS.

As children of God, we must have a clear understanding of God’s plan for our lives. God not only wants to prosper you, He has a plan by which He will do it. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran talks about how God is magnified through the prosperity of His kids. God likes it when his children are healthy, happy, and wealthy and he says in His word that he has already taken care of your needs. There is nothing wrong with having money and possessions, as long as they don’t have you. The value of your life is worth more than the price of your need. If you’re not careful – or disciplined – needs will distract you from your God-given purpose. Determine to not be distracted by need, and experience the exhilarating life of faith as you trust God as your source.

In life, there are times when you get into a bind, and you need someone to bail you out. Those people who come to your aid, are people that you know have your back. In this message Pastor Caleb Moran talks about how when you cannot speak or stand up for yourself, the blood of Jesus will speak for you, and that you have someone who is standing up for you always – HE’S GOT YOUR BACK!

The enemy will always feed you the lie that relief is better than resilience. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran talks about about how resilience is always better than relief. There is always joy on the other side of your resistance. Determine to have PERSISTENCE THROUGH RESISTANCE and you will come out on the other side victorious!

In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran talks about healing and how health is a promise from God for all of His children. As children of God, we are not to live with sickness or anything else that Jesus removed from us on the Cross. To live with something would mean that you’re in relationship/covenant with that thing. As children of God, we are not in relationship/covenant with sickness – we are in relationship/covenant with Jesus our Healer. Who you are in relationship with, will determine what you are going to live with. We are in covenant with the blessing of God. Once you know God’s will, you can align your faith with it and see it come to pass in your life. Whatever is in Christ is in you. Whatever isn’t in Christ, should not be in you. Jesus became your substitute – he lifted those things off of your life. As is Christ, SO AM I.

The love of God is the most powerful force known to man. There have been many powerful things made, but none compare to the power of God's love. Love is active; it moves forward. In this message Pastor Caleb Moran talks about when you step out of love, you step backwards and how progress cannot happen without love. Because of God’s love, victory is ours; success is available to us at any time and for anything. When we love, it propels us forward into God’s best for our lives. Don’t allow small setbacks to be major setups for you to fail. Love, whether anyone else does or not, and you will far exceed any limitation.

Throughout this series Pastor Caleb Moran discussed the fire of God associated with the Holy Spirit, and how it effects our lives. Naturally speaking, fire changes whatever it touches. The fire of God can not only change things, but it can change people. The fire of God is a change agent. The fire of God not only burns stuff OUT, but it also burns stuff IN. If you will allow the fire of God to burn in your heart, it will change you into a different person. Determine for your heart to burn for the things of God, rather than the things of this world.
