  You Are Not Your Own

  Aug 15, 202615 min

  What is the deepest question in sanctification? It is not simply, “What must I stop doing?” but, “To whom do I belong?” In this concluding episode, Pastor Kent turns to 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 to show that Christ did not purchase part of our lives. He purchased all of us with His blood. Our bodies, time, relationships, ambitions and private lives all belong to Him. Surrender is therefore not allowing God to change selected rooms while we retain ownership of the house. It is presenting the entire life to Him in response to His mercy. Jesus held nothing back when He gave Himself for us. Are you still withholding any part of yourself from Him?

  Held by Him

  Aug 14, 202617 min

  Have you been carrying your walk with God as though everything depends on you? After hearing that we must be sent, faithful and distinct, the weight can feel overwhelming. But John 17:19 takes us beneath every responsibility to the foundation holding it all together. In this episode, Pastor Kent explains why Jesus sanctified Himself for our sakes, how His once-for-all offering made us holy, and why the One who began a good work in us will complete it. Your confidence is not that you will never stumble, but that Christ will never abandon what He started. You do not have to hold everything together. You are held by Him.

  Present but Distinct

  Aug 13, 202614 min

  What does it mean to live in the world without becoming like it? In John 17, Jesus rejects two extremes. The first is withdrawing so completely that we lose the people we are called to reach. The second is blending in so thoroughly that our witness loses its distinction. In this episode, Pastor Kent shows how Jesus remained completely holy while being genuinely present among people. God has placed us in our workplaces, families and communities not to hide or conform, but to shine. We must remain close enough to serve, distinct enough to show Christ, and faithful to the mission for which He sent us. Are you present, yet unmistakably His?

  Press On

  Aug 12, 202614 min

  What happens when the life of the messenger does not match the message being carried? In John 17:17–18, Jesus places sanctification and mission side by side. God sends us while He is still changing us, but He never calls us to become comfortable with the things His truth confronts. In this episode, Pastor Kent explains the crucial difference between stumbling and settling. Your imperfections do not disqualify you from representing Jesus, but defending your sin and refusing His transforming work will weaken your witness. God is not asking you to pretend that you have arrived. He is calling you to remain yielded, keep facing Him, and press on.

  Set Apart and Sent

  Aug 10, 202614 min

  What does God save and sanctify us for? Through Isaiah 6 and John 17, Pastor Kent reveals the divine pattern: undone, cleansed, and sent. God does not cleanse us so that we can hide from the world. He sets us apart so that we can return as witnesses who belong to Christ and are no longer shaped by the world around us. This devotion challenges us to recognise the doors God is opening in our homes, workplaces, relationships, and communities, and to respond like Isaiah: “Here am I! Send me.” God has prepared you. The door is open. Will you go?
