Episode Title: The Test Of Rest
Series: Reframing Rest
Speaker: Pastor Dennis Gallaher

Main Idea:

True rest begins with trust.
We struggle to embrace rest because we don’t fully trust that God will provide, protect, or come through. Sabbath isn’t just about stopping—it’s about surrendering. It’s a test of trust that reminds us: God is enough, and we don’t have to hold everything together.

In This Message:

What if your restlessness isn’t just about your schedule… but your trust?

In this episode of Monday Moments, we look at the story of manna in the wilderness and how Sabbath rest was never just about sleep or recovery—it was about trust. Trusting that God will provide. Trusting that we don’t have to hustle to hold everything together. Trusting that when we stop, He doesn’t.

If you’ve ever struggled to rest without guilt, feared falling behind, or felt like stopping meant losing control—this episode is for you.

Key Points:

• Why rest is more about trust than time
• How the Sabbath exposes our fears and self-reliance
• What it means to live in the “daily bread” mindset
• How Sabbath is a countercultural resistance to burnout

Key Scriptures:

• Exodus 16:1–35
• Hebrews 3:7–4:11
• Psalm 127:1–2

Episode Title: When Rest Becomes Resistance
Series: Reframing Rest
Speaker: Pastor James Gallaher

In This Episode:
What if rest isn’t just for recovery—but for remembering?
In Part 2 of Reframing Rest, Pastor Dennis takes us deeper into the biblical concept of Sabbath—not as a break from life, but as a bold resistance to the world’s lies. In a culture obsessed with hustle, status, and distraction, Sabbath realigns our hearts with God’s truth.

Through Scripture and soul-searching questions, this episode explores how Sabbath reveals what we’ve forgotten: that our identity, value, and peace come not from what we do, but from who God is.

📌 Key Points:

• Sabbath is spiritual resistance against hustle, consumerism, and self-reliance.
• Rest is remembrance. God calls us to stop so we can remember what’s true.
• Our desires are shaped by what we continually consume—rest re-centers them on God.
• Sabbath is a weekly invitation to live as people set apart, not driven by culture’s demands.
• It’s not about doing nothing. It’s about doing what restores your soul in God’s presence.

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Exodus 20:8–11 – “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy…”
• Deuteronomy 5:15 – “Remember that you were slaves in Egypt…”
• Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform to the pattern of this world…”
• Matthew 11:28–30 – “Come to Me… and I will give you rest.”

Psalm 23:1–3 – “He makes me lie down… He restores my soul.”

Is God’s judgment something to fear… or something to trust?

In this week’s message, Pastor James challenges common assumptions about final judgment—and invites us to see it not as a threat, but as a promise. When we understand judgment through the lens of God's justice, we realize: He’s not just cleaning house—He’s setting things right.

Main Idea:
God’s final judgment isn’t just about wrath—it’s about restoring what’s right. Justice reveals His goodness, and trusting Him means living in light of eternity now.

📖 Key Scriptures:
Hebrews 6:1–2
Matthew 25:31–46
Revelation 20:11–15
2 Peter 3:8–10

🔑 Key Points:
Eternal judgment is a foundational truth of the Christian faith.
God’s justice and love are not opposites—they are perfectly unified.
Final judgment brings hope: God will restore all things and make wrongs right.
This isn’t just about eternity—it’s about how we live now.

Episode Title: The Eyes Of Faith
Series: Core Christianity
Speaker: Pastor Bobby Hill

In This Episode:
What if the greatest battle in your life isn’t what you see—but what you can’t see? In this powerful message from 2 Kings 6, discover five key lessons from the story of Elisha and the Syrian army that will radically reshape how you face fear, make decisions, and trust God. This sermon challenges us to live with eyes of faith—trusting that God's presence and power are greater than what surrounds us.

This message, based on 2 Kings 6, unpacks the story of Elisha and the Syrian army to encourage believers to see life “through the eyes of faith.” Using the powerful moment when Elisha's servant sees the angelic army surrounding them, the speaker challenges listeners to look beyond the natural and into the spiritual. He unpacks five core lessons: God's omniscience, the power of hearing God's voice, how to handle fear, the reality of the spiritual realm, and the truth that God plus one is always a majority.

Main Idea:
We are called to live by faith, not by what we see—because God is working in the unseen.

Key Themes:

• Nothing is hidden from God – God sees and knows everything, even when we don’t.
• Hearing God's voice is powerful – Prophetic insight and spiritual sensitivity change outcomes.
• Don’t panic in the face of fear – Faith brings peace even in overwhelming situations.
• Spiritual realities are invisible to the natural eye – There are two realms, and we must learn to live in both.
• God + one is a majority – When you align with God, you're never outnumbered.

Scripture References:

• 2 Kings 6:8–23 (Primary passage)
  Elisha and his servant are surrounded by the Syrian army. Elisha prays for the servant’s eyes to be opened to the spiritual reality: “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
• 2 Corinthians 5:7
  “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
  Foundational verse for the call to live beyond the visible.
• Psalm 34:7
  “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and delivers them.”
  Reinforces the truth of God’s unseen protection.
• Hebrews 11:1
  “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
  Defines faith as the ability to trust what we cannot yet see.
• Romans 8:31
  “If God is for us, who can be against us?”
  Undergirds the idea that God + one is a majority.

Series: Core Christianity
Speaker: Pastor Dennis Gallaher

In This Episode:
Anxiety is one of the most normalized struggles in our culture—even inside the Church. But Scripture gives us a better way.

Episode Title: Extending Hands
Series: Core Christianity – Part 5
Speaker: Pastor James Gallaher

In This Episode:
The laying on of hands isn’t just for pastors. It’s a core part of how the Church functions—with healing, blessing, affirmation, and commissioning. But somewhere along the way, we outsourced it to the “professionals.” This message reclaims the simplicity, humility, and spiritual power of this biblical act—calling every believer to be the hands of Jesus in a world desperate for a touch from the Father.

Main Idea:
The laying on of hands isn’t mystical—it’s foundational. It’s how we bless, heal, restore, and affirm one another in the name of Jesus.

Key Themes:

• The biblical pattern of laying on hands
• Blessing, healing, commissioning, and affirmation
• Why Jesus made this part of His ministry
• Barriers that keep us from engaging (pride, pain, fear, busyness)
• How to begin walking in this call as a follower of Christ

Scripture References:

• Hebrews 6:1–2
• Luke 4:40
• Matthew 19:13–15
• Acts 6:6; 13:2–3
• Mark 10:16
• 1 Timothy 4:14
• Numbers 27:18–23

Title: The Gravity Of The Soul
Series: Core Christianity – Part 4
Speaker: Pastor Daniel

In This Episode:
It’s possible to believe the right things and still not follow Jesus. Why? Because we don’t follow what we know—we follow what we love. In this message, Pastor Daniel challenges us to examine our deepest affections. From Peter’s reinstatement to the story of the prodigal son, we see that love determines direction. If we don’t love Jesus most, we’ll always struggle to follow Him fully.

Key Themes:

• Loving Jesus as the foundation of discipleship
• How misplaced love leads to compromise or drift
• Repentance as a redirection of love
• Belief vs. affection: why knowledge isn't enough

Reflection Questions:

• What competes for your love more than Jesus?
• Are you a believer or a follower—and how can you tell?
• How can you return to your first love this week?

Scripture References:

• John 21:15–19
• Matthew 10:37–39
• Luke 15 (Prodigal Son)
• Mark 10 (Rich Young Ruler)
• 1 Corinthians 13:2
• Romans 1:25
