Ashley Bell shares a moving sermon centered on surrender, redemption, and the transformative power of faith. With uplifting worship, reflections on Joseph of Arimathea’s bold sacrifice, and a deep dive into the significance of Jesus' resurrection, this service invites listeners to embrace freedom in Christ and renew their personal relationship with Him. Whether you're seeking hope, healing, or a fresh start, this message offers encouragement and a clear call to action.

Ash discusses the characteristics of a healthy church, focusing on the importance of revering the lordship of Christ, as demonstrated through the events surrounding Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. This message highlights how a healthy church mirrors the early Christian community depicted in the book of Acts, emphasizing breaking bread together and maintaining a strong relationship with Jesus. Ash also encourages us to dig in as we approach the Easter season, building up to the death and resurrection of Christ.

In this message Ash encourages us to develop a consistent, personal prayer life, likening it to digging a spiritual well. Just as digging a well requires hard work, effort and persistence to reach life-giving water, prayer requires intentionality and perseverance.

This message reminds us that prayer isn’t just something we do at church—it’s about real connection with the Father. The early church in Acts 2 didn’t treat prayer like a task, but a way of life. It wasn’t about getting results, it was about a relationship with God. Prayer is how we stay close to God, hear His voice, and walk with Him daily. Every believer is invited personally into that kind of connection.

Ash encourages us to live with open hands, just like the early church who shared what they had so no one was in need. It’s not just about giving—it’s about positioning ourselves to be part of God’s movement, living out our faith through real, everyday actions.

In this week’s episode, we dive into Ash's message on what makes a church truly healthy. He unpacks some key ingredients—community, spiritual growth, and devotion to God’s Word—reminding us that a thriving church isn’t just about Sunday services, but about how we live out our faith together. Each of us has a role to play in making the church a place of life and light in the community. So, let’s ask ourselves—how are we contributing to the health of our church? Let’s lean in, step up, and be the light God calls us to be!
