Studies That Strengthen

What does it mean that Jesus gave us the keys of His Kingdom? In this episode of His World, we look at Christ’s authority, the Kingdom He established, and what it means for us to live under the authority of our King. The Kingdom is His, the keys are His—and our lives are meant to reflect His rule.Come study the Word with me as we learn to see the world through the truth of Scripture.

Amanda Moore and Lauren Stevens join us for a live panel discussion on "Reclaiming Biblical Womanhood". This was the Women's Breakout Session during the "For The Kingdom" Conference at Bud Baptist Church.

Is education neutral? Why homeschool? What IS your why? We welcome Candice Sesco, as we continue exploring His World and consider education within it. If Christ is Lord of all, then He is LORD OF ALL.

Who owns time? Is time simply a gift God has given us, or does it ultimately belong to Him?In this episode of His World, we take a deeper look at time, eternity, and the reality that our days are not truly our own. From the beginning to the end, God is sovereign over time—and one day, time as we know it will be no more.How should knowing that change the way we live today?#HisWorld #UntilTimeIsNoMore #GodsSovereignty

What does it mean to wait well in a world that feels like it’s constantly moving? In this episode of His World, Pastor Derek Sesco joins us for a conversation about what we are waiting for—and how our waiting can point us back to Christ, His kingdom, and His promises.Sometimes waiting isn’t about doing nothing. It’s about learning to trust the King while we wait for what He has promised.#HisWorld #WhatAreWeWaitingFor #KingdomOfGod

We begin Season 4 by opening Psalm 24 and asking "Who is this King? Before we can understand our place in His world, we must first answer this question! Join us as we explore the character of God and why a right view of the King changes everything.

Before we step into a new season, we must return to the foundation that holds us firm: the truth of God’s Word.In this bridge episode between Season 3 and Season 4, we revisit the mission of Strengthen Your Stakes—to lead us deeper into Scripture, not just knowing what the Bible says, but understanding its context, its authority, and its purpose in revealing Jesus Christ.Just as Jesus opened the eyes of the disciples on the road to Emmaus, showing them how all of Scripture pointed to Him, we are reminded that the Bible is more than a collection of stories—it is God’s revealed truth that shapes our faith, strengthens our foundation, and equips us to live faithfully.In this episode, we discuss the authority of Scripture and share five practical tips for studying the Bible well, encouraging every believer to approach God’s Word with humility, diligence, and a desire to know Him more.As we prepare for Season 4, may we be women who are firmly planted—not on opinions, feelings, or shifting ideas—but on the unchanging truth of God’s Word.Strengthen your stakes. Know His Word. Stand on His truth.#StrengthenYourStakes #BiblicalStudy #Scripture #BibleStudy #EmmausRoad #GodsWord #WomenOfFaith

What do we truly deserve from God? Nothing. Yet because of His mercy, He has given us everything.In this final episode of Owed Nothing, Given Everything, we look at the heart of the gospel: a God who was not obligated to rescue us, yet chose to love, forgive, and restore us through Jesus Christ. Mercy reminds us that we are not standing before God because of our goodness, our achievements, or our ability to earn His favor—we stand because of His grace.As we close Season 3, we reflect on the transforming power of receiving mercy and the question every believer must answer: How will we respond to the mercy we have been given?May this episode remind you that the greatest gift was never something we could earn—it was something God freely gave.You owed nothing. You were given everything. And that changes everything.#StrengthenYourStakes #OwedNothingGivenEverything #BecauseOfMercy #Grace #Gospel #BiblicalTruth

If we respond only in ways that people deserve, is that truly representing a Christ that responds to us in ways that we DON'T deserve? By His mercy and grace he hands us what we fully do not deserve, but have now received through Christ.

What happens when everything you thought you deserved is stripped away, and all that remains is God?In this episode, Pastor Dalton explores the life and perspective of Asaph, the worship leader who came to a life-changing conclusion in Psalm 73: “Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You.” Asaph learned that true contentment is not found in possessions, status, or even earthly blessings, but in God Himself.Join us as we discuss the powerful truth that believers are owed nothing, yet have been given everything in Christ. Through Asaph's journey from confusion and envy to worship and contentment, we'll discover why God alone is our portion, our inheritance, and our everlasting treasure.Key Scripture: Psalm 73:25–26Theme: Owed Nothing, Given Everything — He Is My Portion Forever#Psalm73 #ChristianPodcast #Asaph #ContentmentInChrist #GodIsMyPortion #GospelCentered #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #FaithInChrist #StrengthenYourStakes
