What do you do when the thing you've been praying for hasn't come yet?

This week Greg Ramage brings a message on the power of persistence, and it is both a challenge and an encouragement. He walks us back to Peter, the disciple who was so confident and then denied Jesus three times, and reminds us that Peter's failure was not the end of his story. The same man went on to preach at Pentecost and see thousands come to faith, because failure is never final with God.

Greg also opens up honestly about his own journey of seeking after God, the disappointments and delays along the way, and the day he decided to start saying yes to God before He even asked.

Woven through it all is one steady truth: persistence is simply faith that refuses to let go. If you've grown weary or quietly set a dream down, this one will stir you to pick it back up. Come and be encouraged with us.

What does God actually look for in a man? On this Father's Day, Mike Wilson brings a heartfelt and honest word for the men of our church family, and the answer might surprise you. Looking at the lives of Saul and David, two kings who were both chosen and anointed, Mike shows us that the measure of a godly man was never perfection. It was a heart that stayed surrendered to God. Saul made excuses and clung to his pride. David failed too, and yet he kept God's heart because he knew how to repent and turn back. Along the way Mike opens up about fatherhood, legacy, and the truth that our earthly dads will always fall short, but we have a perfect Father in heaven who knit us together and has watched over us all along. Whether your memories of dad are sweet or tender or complicated, this one is a reminder that the cycle can change and a new legacy can start with you. Come and listen in.

Who are we really trying to impress? This week Pastor Adam Biro keeps us in the Sermon on the Mount, moving into Matthew 6, where Jesus gets surprisingly practical about the everyday stuff of following Him: how we give, how we pray, and how we fast. The challenge isn't to hide these things away, it's to check the motive underneath them. Are we doing them so people will notice, or for the Father who already sees in secret?

Pastor Adam unpacks how generosity keeps our hearts right toward others, prayer keeps us close to God, and fasting keeps our own appetites in their place. And the good news woven through it all is that God is a rewarder of those who genuinely seek Him. If you've ever wondered whether your quiet, unseen faithfulness actually counts, this one is for you.

We say it all the time: Jesus is Lord. But what happens when we let those words travel into every single room of our lives? This week Pastor Adam Biro continues through the Sermon on the Mount and shows us that confessing Jesus as Lord is where the journey begins, not where it ends. Walking through Matthew 5, he reminds us that Jesus is Lord over our emotions, our desires, our relationships, our words, and even how we respond to the people who are hardest to love. It is a challenging and freeing message, because everything Jesus asks of us is actually for our good. If you have ever quietly kept one part of your life off limits, this one is a warm and honest invitation to hand it all over. Grab a coffee and listen in with us.

What if following Jesus was never meant to be something you tack onto the life you already have? This week we open Matthew 4 and watch Jesus walk up to ordinary fishermen and say, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." He does not erase who they are. He takes their trade, their skills, their whole identity, and gives it a brand-new purpose. Pastor Adam walks us through what it means to repent as a daily turning, why Jesus redefines the "blessed life" in the Beatitudes, and how each of us is called to be salt and light, the most noticeable thing in the room. Whatever you do, builder, teacher, parent, student, this message is an invitation to let Jesus make you into something you could never become on your own. Pull up a chair and listen in with us.

What has God put inside you — and what are you doing with it?

In this special graduation message, Evangelist Brad Mayer brings a timely and energetic word from 1 Peter 4:10 and the Parable of the Talents. Drawing from decades of global missions experience across 70+ nations, Brad challenges graduates — and every believer — to stop waiting on the sidelines and start discovering, developing, and deploying the gift God has placed inside them.

With humour, honesty, and hard-won wisdom, this message cuts to the heart of one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: am I actually using what God gave me?

This message invites us to:

• Understand that God has given every person a gift — no one is left out
• Learn why you don't decide your gift, you discover it
• Recognize the difference between burying your gift and multiplying it
• Stop being intimidated by others' gifts and start walking in your own
• See why the meaning of life is not just to receive your gift, but to give it away

The poster boy for how not to use your gifts well buried his in the ground and handed it back at the end of his life. Don't be that guy.

Your gift was made to be multiplied. Don't go to your grave with it undiscovered, undeveloped, or unused.

Key Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10; Matthew 25:14–30; Proverbs 18:16

This message was delivered by Evangelist Brad Mayer on May 24th, 2026 at Faith Alive Family Church in Saskatoon, SK.

What does it really take to receive what God has promised?

In this message, Pastor Adam Biro teaches from Hebrews 6 and Isaiah 40 on two essential and often misunderstood qualities of the Christian life — faith and patience. Not passive acceptance of whatever life brings, but an active, determined pursuit of God and His promises even when the answer hasn't arrived yet.

Drawing from the story of Abraham, the author of Hebrews, and a vivid picture of a fisherman waiting at the shoreline, this message challenges us to stay the course — to keep our line in the water — even when faith starts to feel like it isn't working.

This message invites us to:

• Understand why inheritance is not automatic — and what it actually requires
• Discover the difference between godly patience and spiritual sluggishness
• Learn why faith and patience must work together to see God's promises fulfilled
• Recognize that waiting on God is an active, not passive, posture
• Be encouraged that God has not forgotten your work, your love, or your faith

If you've been waiting on a promise — if discouragement has been creeping in and the answer hasn't come yet — this message is for you.

The fish is still going to hit the line. Don't reel it in now.

Key Scripture: Hebrews 6:9–12; Isaiah 40:27–31; Hebrews 11

This message was delivered by Pastor Adam Biro on May 17th, 2026 at Faith Alive Family Church in Saskatoon, SK.

PODCAST DESCRIPTION

What does it mean to be a woman after God's own heart and what does God say about who you are?

In this Mother's Day message, Pastor Cecy Biro draws from the lives of three women of the Bible, Eve, Mary, and Deborah, to remind us that God has always had a purpose, an identity, and a calling for every woman He created. And whether you're a mother or not, this message carries a word for you.

From the Garden of Eden to the battlefields of Israel, we see women who were not perfect, but who said yes to God and changed everything around them because of it.

In this message you'll discover:

• Why women are carriers of life and why there has always been a war against them
• What Eve's name teaches us about the gift God placed inside every woman
• How Mary's simple response, "I am the Lord's servant," is a prayer that can transform your life
• What it looks like to make room for the Word of God instead of your own agenda
• How Deborah arose as a mother in Israel and why God is calling you to arise too
• Why sometimes you have to prophesy over yourself and sing a new song, even when you don't feel like it

You were not created to stay small, carry shame, or live under oppression. God has a purpose for you that was written before you were born and He is faithful to fulfill it.

Wake up. Arise. Sing a new song.

Key Scripture: Psalm 138:8; Genesis 3:15; Luke 1:38; Psalm 40:8; Judges 4-5

This message was delivered by Pastor Cecy Biro on Sunday, May 11th, 2026 at Faith Alive Family Church in Saskatoon, SK.
