🎙️ From The Jesus Effect 🎙️

How do you discover the gifts God has given you?

Many people spend years waiting for a dramatic moment of revelation, when often God reveals our gifts through faithful service.

As we step out in faith, help others, and make ourselves available to God, He often shows us how He has uniquely equipped us for His Kingdom.

This week on Jesus in Your Weekend, we’ll explore 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 and discover why God often reveals the next step after we take the first one.

Don’t wait for perfect conditions.

Take the next faithful step.

🎙 THE JESUS EFFECT 🎙
Who Am I in the Bible?

What do you do when God gives a promise…

but the fulfillment takes years?

This week’s mystery person saw what others could not see.

While others saw obstacles, this person saw opportunity.

While others focused on giants, this person focused on God.

Through decades of waiting, this individual continued to trust, continued to follow, and continued to believe that God’s promises would come to pass.

This episode is a reminder that faith isn’t just about how we start the journey…

it’s about following God wholeheartedly until the end.

🎙 NEW EPISODE 🎙
THE JESUS EFFECT

Jesus: The Power of the Tongue
James Series (Episode 5)

📖 James 3:1–12

Words are small.

But their impact can be enormous.

In this episode of The Jesus Effect, we explore James’ powerful illustrations of a horse’s bit, a ship’s rudder, and a small spark that can start a great fire.

James reminds us that our words have the power to:

✅ Encourage or discourage
✅ Heal or wound
✅ Build up or tear down
✅ Point people toward Jesus or away from Him

More importantly, our words often reveal what is happening in our hearts.

Because when Jesus changes our hearts, our speech begins to change too.

Join me as we discover why our words matter and how God can help us use them to reflect His grace, truth, and love.

Keep your eyes on Jesus…and be a light wherever you go.

🎙 Jesus in Your Weekend 🎙

Created. Gifted. Called. Series

Episode 2: Jesus Has Gifted Every Believer

Have you ever wondered how God wants to use you?

Many believers assume spiritual gifts are reserved for pastors, teachers, or ministry leaders. But Scripture teaches something very different. Every follower of Jesus has been gifted by God to serve, encourage, and make an eternal difference.

In this episode, we’ll explore Romans 12:4-6 and discover how God has uniquely equipped each believer with gifts that matter. Whether your gifts are seen by many or known only to God, they are valuable in His kingdom.

Join me as we reflect on the gifts God has given us, the danger of comparison, and how we can take one simple step this weekend to serve others for His glory.

Key Scripture:
📖 Romans 12:4-6

Remember: God created you for a purpose. God has gifted you for service. And those gifts can make an eternal difference when placed in His hands.

🎙 THE JESUS EFFECT 🎙
Who Am I in the Bible?

What if God is working behind the scenes in ways you cannot yet see?

This week’s mystery is about someone who was searching for God…

A person known for prayer.
A person known for generosity.
A person whose sincere heart became part of a much bigger story than they ever imagined.

Because sometimes…

God is working on both sides of a door before He opens it.

🎙 NEW EPISODE: Faith That Shows Up

📖 James 2:14–26

What does genuine faith look like?

Is faith simply something we believe…

or is it something that should be visible in the way we live?

In Episode 4 of our James series, we explore one of the most well-known passages in Scripture:

“Faith without works is dead.”

James reminds us that we are not saved by our works.

But genuine faith produces visible evidence.

A faith that follows Jesus will eventually show up through:

❤️ Compassion
🙏 Obedience
🤝 Kindness
💬 Encouragement
✝️ Everyday faithfulness

Because when Jesus changes a heart…

it begins to show in a person’s life.

And remember—

We are not saved by works.

But saving faith works.

🎙 New Episode of The Jesus Effect 🎙

Have you ever felt God prompting you to do something that didn’t fully make sense?

A conversation.
A step of faith.
An opportunity to help someone.
A door you never expected Him to open.

This week in our Who Am I in the Bible? series, we explore the story of someone who was willing to obey when God simply said:

👉 “Go.”

What began as a lonely road became a divine appointment that changed a life forever.

This episode is a powerful reminder that God often does His greatest work through ordinary people who are willing to trust Him one step at a time.

❓Can you guess who it is before the reveal?

Listening and Living the Word

What if one of the greatest signs of spiritual maturity isn’t how much we know…

but how we live?

👂 Quick to listen
🗣 Slow to speak
❤️ Faithful in obedience

It’s possible to hear God’s Word, attend church, read Scripture, and still miss what God wants to do in our hearts.

James reminds us that real faith moves beyond hearing.

It responds with obedience.

🎙 THE JESUS EFFECT — James Series
Episode 2 - Jesus: Wisdom for Everyday Life

📖 James 1:5–8

Life constantly places us in situations where we need direction.

Difficult decisions.
Uncertain seasons.
Relationships.
Financial pressures.
Health concerns.

And sometimes…
we simply don’t know what to do.

But Scripture gives us this powerful promise:

📖 “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God…” — James 1:5

In this episode, we talk about:
• seeking God’s wisdom daily
• trusting Him when life feels uncertain
• and learning to make decisions that honor Christ

Because wisdom is not simply asking:

“What do I want to do?”

Wisdom asks:

“What would honor Christ?”

And remember —

Keep your eyes on Jesus…
and be a light wherever you go.

When you encounter Him…
you will experience change.
