In this episode, Becoming the Gospel, we explore what it means to not just believe in Jesus—but to identify with His life, death, and resurrection until His story becomes our own. From the Incarnation to the Return of Christ, we trace how every stage of His journey reveals our calling and identity in Him. This isn’t just theology—it’s an invitation to build. For the next 1–3 years, we’re committing to become a house of prayer in Galveston—a resting place for God marked by worship, prayer, and authentic family.
In this episode, The Glorious One | Returning, we look at the radiant hope of the believer — the return of Jesus — and how it transforms the way we live right now.
Through the lens of Peace, Power, and Purity, we explore how the work of Jesus—past, present, and future—secures our salvation and shapes our identity.
Christ’s sacrifice brought peace between God and humanity once and for all. Hebrews 9:27–28 reminds us that while man faces judgment after death, Jesus has already taken that judgment upon Himself. The believer’s verdict has been rendered: “You have been judged as righteous as Jesus.”
The episode challenges the lie that we are right with God only when we behave well, and anchors us in the truth that righteousness is a gift — not earned by performance, but received by faith. Romans 1:16–17 declares that the Gospel itself is the power of God because it reveals this very righteousness.
When we lift up His works instead of our own, the Spirit draws us nearer and transforms us into Christ’s likeness. This isn’t self-improvement; it’s divine empowerment. The Spirit enables us to live boldly, free from shame, abiding in the reality that God calls us “very good” — restored through the second Adam, Jesus Christ.
As we live from this identity, we discover that holiness is not a burden but a byproduct of knowing who we are in Him.
Jesus’ first coming dealt with the penalty and power of sin; His second coming will remove its presence entirely. For those eagerly awaiting Him, His return will be a day of joy, not fear (Hebrews 9:28; Revelation 21:3–4).
The early church constantly encouraged one another with this hope. 1 Peter 1:13–16 calls us to “set our hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” That future grace isn’t distant—it’s meant to shape our purity and perseverance today.
1 John 3:2–3 declares that when we see Him, “we shall be like Him.” And Titus 2:11–14 shows that this hope purifies us even now, training us to renounce ungodliness and live godly lives while we wait for our blessed hope—the appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
This episode concludes with a call to anchor your heart in hope. The grace awaiting us at His return isn’t just a future reality—it fuels endurance through trials and joy through persecution.
When we set our hope on that day, we begin to live for that day—not reacting to the chaos of the present, but rooted in the certainty of His coming glory.
Peace from the Cross. Power through the Spirit. Purity through Hope.
The Glorious One is returning—and His grace is making us like Him.
In this episode, The Glorious One | Seated, we explore what it means that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father — and how this truth transforms the way we live today.
Drawing from Hebrews 8:1–2 and Ephesians 2:5–6, we unpack the mystery of union with Christ: not only is Jesus seated in the heavenly realms, but we are seated with Him. The episode dives into why this “seated” posture matters — because it signifies completion, rest, and victory. Our High Priest has finished the work, and now we’re invited to live from His finished seat of authority, not striving to earn identity, purpose, or value.
We look at how the power of sin isn’t found in our “old self,” but in the law — the system of striving under the old covenant. Through Romans 7:4, we see how we’ve died to that system and have been joined to Christ under a new covenant of grace — where the Holy Spirit empowers us instead of the law restraining us.
The conversation then turns to Hebrews 3–4, where faith and rest are deeply connected. Faith is obedience; unbelief is disobedience. The writer of Hebrews warns not to harden our hearts, but to enter His rest — trusting that the work is finished and that God speaks today. We confront unbelief head-on, calling listeners to repent of the lie that “God doesn’t speak to me,” and to walk forward in faith even if they stumble — because every step of faith is a victory.
Finally, we return to Hebrews 8, where Jesus’ seated position is a reminder of heaven’s perspective. Faith, at its core, is agreeing with that perspective. Our response? To be seated with Him by faith. To stop striving. To enter His rest.
Key Themes:
Jesus as our eternal High Priest
The end of striving under the law
The invitation to live from grace, not for it
Faith as rest and agreement with heaven’s perspective
Takeaway:
You don’t have to keep standing to prove something to God — you can sit down with Him. The work is finished. Rest in grace.
Speaker: Robert Lee
In this episode, we explore what it really means that Jesus not only rose from the grave but ascended — and how that reality transforms the way we live today. The ascension isn’t just the end of Jesus’ earthly story; it’s the beginning of our shared story with Him.
Through Scripture and reflection, we trace the movements of the gospel — from incarnation to resurrection to Christ’s exaltation in heaven — and discover that what is true of Christ is now true of us.
You’ll hear how the renewing of the mind is like tending a garden: planting truth, watering it by faith, and letting God bring the increase. We’ll talk about setting our hearts and minds on things above (Colossians 3), the invitation to live from heaven’s perspective, and how beholding the Ascended One empowers us to put sin to death and walk in freedom.
This message invites you to slow down, seek the things above, and let the Holy Spirit pull up the weeds of false belief — because your Father is the gardener of your heart.
In this episode, we explore the resurrected Jesus and the ongoing power of His gospel in our everyday lives. Too often, believers see salvation only as an eternal destiny, missing the daily transformation Jesus offers. Through Scripture and story, we highlight how the gospel reveals Jesus as Savior, protector, and satisfier—bringing freedom from fear, sin, and brokenness.
Looking at Romans 6 and Revelation 1, we see that what is true of Christ in His resurrection is true for those united with Him: dead to sin, alive to God, and filled with resurrection life. Just as John fell before the risen Jesus, we too are invited to behold Him, confident that the gospel is not only the power of God for salvation but also the means by which His Spirit transforms us from glory to glory.
The episode ends with a challenge: Where in your life do you need resurrection life today? As children of God, we have the right to put off the old and walk in the newness of Jesus’ life.

In this episode of The Glorious One series, we turn our eyes to the cross—the ultimate revelation of God’s fierce love. The goal of this series is simple but transformative: to behold Jesus more clearly so that our love for Him deepens with all our heart, mind, and strength.
Scripture teaches that the way we see shapes our reality (2 Corinthians 3:18; Matthew 6:22–23). At the cross, Jesus removes sin, doubt, fear, and anxiety so that we might fully receive His love. What looks like foolishness to the world is actually “the power of God” to those who are being saved (1 Corinthians 1:18).
We’ll explore how the cross not only reconciles us to God but also demolishes the lie that He is indifferent to our struggles. Romans 5 declares that Christ died for us while we were still sinners—proving once and for all that His love is never in question. At the cross, our worth, identity, and nearness to God are secured.
The cross is not just an event to look back on but a lens through which to see God, ourselves, and others. It declares: you are wanted, valued, and brought near by His blood (Ephesians 2:13). The blood of Jesus “speaks a better word” (Hebrews 12:24), calling us to repent of lies, embrace truth, and build our lives around beholding Him daily.
In this conversation, we invite you to let the cross matter more than the sins committed against you, the lies of the enemy, or the pain of your past. Instead, live under the “better word” of the gospel—a word of fierce love, real power, and eternal hope.
Speaker: Robert Lee
Synopsis:In this episode, we explore the mystery and beauty of Jesus as the Incarnate One—God embodied in human form. We’ll unpack what it means that “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14), and why the gospel is more than just good news—it’s the very unveiling of Christ Himself.
Through Scripture, we’ll see how the gospel places us in the delight of the Father (Galatians 1:11–12), how God now speaks through His Son (Hebrews 1:1–2), and how Jesus calls us to follow Him just as He called the first disciples by the Sea of Galilee (Matthew 4:18–20).
We’ll wrestle with practical questions like: Are you truly following Jesus? and What does it look like to walk as He walked? (1 John 2:6, Hebrews 12:2). And finally, we’ll sit with the wonder-filled question at the heart of the incarnation: “Lord, why did You come to earth as a man?”
If you’ve ever wanted to see Jesus more clearly and understand how beholding Him transforms your life, this episode will stir both your mind and your heart.
In this episode, we explore Paul’s climactic call in Ephesians 6:10–20—to stand firm in the Lord’s strength and in His armor. Building on the progression of the letter, we trace the journey of discipleship through SIT, WALK, and STAND, a framework made famous by Watchman Nee’s classic Sit, Walk, Stand.
SIT: Our position in Christ, seated with Him in heavenly places.
WALK: Living empowered by the Spirit, yielded to His leadership.
STAND: Holding our ground in Christ’s authority against the schemes of the enemy.
We unpack Paul’s truth claims:
We are in a very real spiritual battle, but people are not the enemy.
God invites us into partnership with Him through prayer, granting us His authority.
Our strength does not come from self-effort, but from the Lord Himself.
The armor of God—truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word, and Spirit-led prayer—anchors us in Christ’s victory.
Rather than striving for victory, we rest in the victory Christ has already secured. Our battle is chiefly about believing and agreeing with God, even when circumstances, feelings, or lies press against us. As Paul reminds us, the weapons of our warfare pull down strongholds, renew our minds with truth, and equip us to persevere.
Stop trying to muster strength apart from God—start with Him.
Let Jesus Himself become your great reward.
Acknowledge the battle, but fight from a posture of truth.
Stand, hold your ground, and persevere—knowing you are more than a conqueror through Him who loved you.
This episode calls us back to a God-centered gospel, reminding us that only those who SIT with Christ can truly STAND in His authority.
Speaker: Robert Lee
In this episode, we dive into Ephesians 5:22–6:9 and explore what it means for every relationship in our lives to be lived under the umbrella of our relationship with God. Paul reminds us that the “fear of the Lord” — a deep reverence and desire not to grieve His Spirit — is what anchors marriages, families, workplaces, and the church.
We wrestle with the hard truth that if we claim to love God yet refuse reconciliation with people, our love for Him is called into question (1 John 4:20; Matthew 5:23–24). The gospel invites us into union with Christ, and that union transforms how we treat others — in marriage, in parenting, in our jobs, and in the church. Mutual submission, sacrificial leadership, sincere obedience, and honoring one another flow naturally when we truly value our relationship with God above all else.
We also unpack how the enemy distorts fear, turning it into something destructive, while the true fear of the Lord brings wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), life (Proverbs 14:27), and intimacy with God. Marriage itself is revealed as a temporary but powerful picture of Christ’s eternal covenant with His bride, the Church — a mystery that points us to our ultimate union with Him.
Finally, we consider what a response looks like: cultivating a holy reverence for God, repenting where we’ve lived for man’s approval, restoring broken relationships, and practicing forgiveness. Because when our relationship with God is our highest treasure, every other relationship comes into proper alignment.
Speaker: Robert Lee
In this episode, we continue our series in Ephesians 5:1–21 by exploring what it means to be friends with Holy Spirit. While salvation makes us sons and daughters of God, true friendship with Holy Spirit is something we intentionally cultivate. Paul’s words in Ephesians outline how believers can follow Him, discover what He loves, and live with understanding of His desires.
We unpack seven marks of friendship with Holy Spirit—living in His love, giving thanks continually, attending to His desires, walking in His wisdom, singing to Him and with one another, practicing gentleness in humility, and reverencing God with holy fear.
Through passages like John 14:15–18 and Romans 8:14, we learn that though we are never abandoned by Holy Spirit, we can grieve Him and interrupt our closeness if we value His promises above His presence. Friendship with Holy Spirit means maturing into daily, continual relationship, not merely enjoying God’s benefits.
Our response is to repent where we’ve loved blessings more than God Himself, and to intentionally “put on” His love, thanksgiving, wisdom, songs, humility, and reverence. By setting our minds on Him throughout the day, we move from living as orphans to walking as true sons and daughters led by the Spirit of God.
Speaker: Robert Lee
Synopsis:In this episode, Robert Lee unpacks Ephesians 4:17–32 with a call to yield to the Spirit of God living within you. Putting on the “new man” is not about self-effort—it’s a daily relationship of surrender to the Holy Spirit, who has a voice, emotions, and desires a deep connection with you.
Robert delivers powerful “Ephesians 4 Truth Bombs,” revealing how our thoughts shape our walk, how unresolved relational issues give the enemy a foothold, and why our words and forgiveness matter to God. He challenges listeners to renounce lies, agree with God’s truth, and embrace His grace—the power to walk in the new life Jesus provides.
From guarding our speech to extending forgiveness, Robert shows how we can either grieve or please the Spirit with the way we live. Drawing on passages like Galatians 2:20–21 and Luke 6:45, he calls us to speak words that build up, carry grace, and reflect God’s heart—turning even everyday conversations into moments of encouragement, comfort, and prophecy.
This is a message about renewal, restoration, and the Spirit-filled life, urging us to start with God, walk in truth, and love others as we have been loved.
Speaker: Robert Lee
Episode Synopsis:
Do you know your calling—or have you confused it with your gifting? In this episode, we dive deep into Ephesians 4 to explore the powerful truth that your calling isn’t just personal—it’s corporate. Paul isn’t just talking about what you’re good at, but who you’re joined to.
We’ll break down how union with God through Jesus leads to union with His body—the Church—and how this shared calling is the very place where the fullness of God is revealed. This isn’t about chasing ministry success or personal influence. It’s about growing together into a dwelling place for the living God.
Topics include:
The difference between calling and gifting
Why unity in the Church matters more than ever
How individualism works against the Spirit’s desire for unity
What it really means to walk "worthy of the call"
The liberating truth that your life is part of something far greater—His glory
Whether you’re burned out on doing or just beginning to ask what your purpose is, this conversation will ground you in the truth: you’re called to Him, and from that place, you're empowered to build up His body in love.

📖 Scripture Focus: Ephesians 2:1-10🕊️ Episode Summary:
In this episode, we take a deep dive into Ephesians 2:1-10 to explore the radical transformation made possible by God’s great love. We begin by confronting the reality of our spiritual state before the gospel—dead in sin, enslaved by our flesh, and under the influence of the enemy. But then comes the turning point: “But God…” Rich in mercy and overflowing with love, He intervenes.
We reflect on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, who lived in perfect surrender, died in our place, and rose to offer us life. Through Him, we are made alive, raised up, and seated in heavenly places—not because of our efforts, but by His grace alone.
This episode closes with a call to purpose. You are God’s workmanship—His poiēma—created for good works that reflect His grace and bring Him glory. We unpack what it means to sow to the Spirit, walk in obedience, and live as children of God in a broken world.
💬 Key Themes:
The spiritual reality before salvation
The mercy and love of God through Christ
Grace vs. works
Identity as God’s masterpiece
Sowing to the Spirit vs. sowing to the flesh

Scripture: Ephesians 1:15–23
Synopsis:In this episode, Billy Sieh unpacks Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1—a plea for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. Through vivid illustrations and scripture, Billy explores what it means to have “the eyes of our hearts enlightened,” helping us see clearly in life’s darkest moments.
He reminds us that transformation doesn’t happen in the dark—it happens when we see God for who He truly is. From the hope of our calling, to the riches of our inheritance, to the immeasurable power available to us, Billy emphasizes that spiritual clarity only comes through deep, personal knowledge of God.
Through stories, reflection, and a powerful call to surrender, listeners are challenged to step off the throne of their own lives and submit fully to Jesus—who reigns above all things and empowers us to live in resurrected strength.
Message by: Robert Lee
In this episode, we explore the powerful truths in Ephesians 1 about the will of the Father and the blood of the Son. From the foundation of the world, God had a plan—not driven by pity but by pleasure and deep love—to unite all things in Christ. We are not merely rescued; we are wanted, adopted, and brought near to God through Jesus.
We unpack how God's will is the seat of His desires, joy, and intentions—and the “mystery of His will” is His longing for union with us. Through Jesus' blood, we are not only forgiven but fully cleansed and made righteous. God’s redemptive plan is deeply emotional and intentional, and He invites us to respond by:
Receiving forgiveness through His grace
Walking in the light with cleansed hearts
Living near to Him with confidence and a clear conscience
The gospel reveals a Father whose will is to dwell with His people, and a Son who shed His blood to make that union possible.
In the final installment of the Happy & Free series, Pastor Robert Lee leads us into the powerful and hope-filled conclusion: the return of Jesus. This episode, “The Promise of His Return,” unpacks how the full work of salvation is not only something we have received in the past and experience in the present, but something we will fully realize in the future—at Christ’s second coming.
Robert outlines the triune nature of salvation:
Penalty of sin paid at the Cross
Power of sin broken by the Holy Spirit
Presence of sin to be removed at His Return
We learn that the grace of God doesn’t just cover sin—it transforms. Robert challenges listeners to shift their focus from their own shortcomings to the finished work of Christ. The message is clear: ➡️ "You are as righteous as Jesus—not by your effort, but by His gift."
With rich scriptures like Hebrews 9, 1 Peter 1, and 1 John 3, we’re reminded that the return of Jesus is not about fear or judgment for the believer—but grace, confidence, and transformation. When we fix our hope on His return, it purifies us and empowers us to live holy, zealous lives now.
Takeaways:
Your righteousness is a gift, not a goal.
His return is the final promise of salvation—our blessed hope.
Hope in His return fuels purity, courage, and endurance.
🎧 Tune in as Pastor Robert invites us to cultivate joyful hope, renounce old lies, and walk in confidence—Happy & Free until He comes again.
