In Week 3 of 'A People Who Pray,' Pastor Michael reminds us that God's blessing in our lives is not an endpoint—it's a pathway meant to overflow for the good of others through intentional, intercessory prayer.

Listen to the message, share it with someone who needs this reminder, and let us know in the comments how God is calling you to pray for others!

What if the darkest season of your life is exactly where God does His greatest work? Pastor Michael shares a raw, personal story of running from God's call — and what happened when he finally surrendered.

What does God actually expect from you? The answer might surprise you.

What happens when leaders fail us? Pastor Eric dives deep into Micah 3, exposing how corrupt leadership destroys trust—but revealing the hope found in Spirit-filled leadership. From a powerful camp story to a moving tribute to mentor John Davis, this message challenges us to examine our own leadership legacy. One key takeaway: Ask yourself, "If I died tomorrow, would my faith legacy point others to Jesus?" Ready to discover what true, Spirit-filled leadership looks like?
Watch now and let God transform how you lead.
Speaker: Eric Addison Text: Micah 3:1-12 ESV
Pastor Michael reveals how some of our sin isn't just reactive—it's premeditated, planned in the darkness of our hearts, but God offers premeditated grace that breaks through our schemes. When's the last time you reflected on how you positioned yourself intentionally in a dangerous place, avoiding God's warning signs?
Share this message with someone who needs to hear about God's extravagant grace today.
Speaker: Michael Bayne Text: Micah 2:1-13 ESV
Ever feel like God is tearing down everything you thought was secure? Pastor Michael dives into Micah 1 to reveal a game-changing truth: God's not passive or distant—He's actively pursuing you with love, even when it feels like discipline. Through the story of rebellion, secret rap tapes, and a rural prophet watching his world crumble, discover why God tears down what we trust wrongly to rebuild us rightly. One takeaway: Ask yourself honestly where you might be rebelling against God's ways in your life, and consider what He's inviting you to surrender. Ready to see God's pursuit in a whole new light? Hit play and let Micah's ancient wisdom speak to your modern struggles!

This week, we engage Luke 5:12-16 ESV with Jesus healing a man with leprosy and His heart for the outsider.

What is our message as we wait for the arrival of Jesus? John the Baptist, the cousin of Jesus, was the prophet appointed by God to announce the arrival of the Kingdom of Heaven. When Jesus arrived as a child, His Kingdom was about to break into Earth and establish itself as a beacon of light in the darkness.

This is a bonus podcast from Greenville Community Church and East North Church in Greenville, South Carolina included in our Seminar Series. Holy Scripture and Christian tradition claim human beings have a soul; however, most neuroscientists claim belief in the soul is obsolete. It is said that human attributes once ascribed to the soul can now be ascribed to the brain, making belief in the soul superfluous.

We then proceed to establish solid ground for belief in the soul through the works of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas. Last, we underscore the importance of the human soul in relation to God.

The global church has moved into a new season where we are being pushed to rethink church and gathering due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This week we continue our Bigger Story series as we explore the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Let's really process how we are loving our neighbors...the people around us in our city.

Jesus was a storyteller that was always trying to lead people to think about His bigger story of redemption, restoration, and hope. This week we begin this journey through the parables captured in the Gospel of Luke with the Parable of the Sower.

We tell others about things we love. We talk about phones, restaurants, vacations, sports, family, and all kinds of things we are passionate about. Why are we so afraid to talk about our faith in Jesus? Join us this week as Dr. Chuck Lawless from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary leads us to see how the grace of God can lead us to fully engage in the mission Jesus gave us.
Text: Luke 22:31-34, 54-62
Jesus gives us a mission and invites us to go and make disciples. If we are going to make disciples we need to lead others toward Him. I know the thought probably makes you nervous. Join us this week as we talk about how we serve and share the message of Jesus with others.
Jesus gave us a clear mission but much of the time it seems like good advice rather than a mission that drives our lives. Maybe it's because we try to carry out the mission in our own strength. Join us this week as we discover how prayer impacts the mission Jesus has given us.

We all have things we want to change in our lives but we seldom slow down long enough to ask why we want the change. What's our motivation? Listen this week as we discover how to finish well by checking our motivation for change in the first place. What drives us will shape how and if we finish well!

Everything changes when we actually verbalize publicly what God is stirring in our hearts. We open ourselves to feedback and criticism. Join us this week as we see how Nehemiah went public with his vision and what we can discover from his intentional efforts to protect the vision.
