Harvinaista herkkua ja rehellistä puhetta Jumalan palvelijoille.
Raamatusta löytyy monia uskon -- ja uskollisiakin tekijöitä, mutta Jeesuksen lisäksi ei yhtäkään ilman arpia kyljessä tai luurankoja kaapissa. Ei edes helluntain jälkeen.
Miksi esitämme, että me olemme sitä parempia?
Tarjoan hyviä uutisia: Ei tarvitse esittää, ja se on Jumalalle OK! Toivon, että se voi myös olla OK seurakunnassa.
(toinen puolisko hieman äänitettä pidemmästä saarnasta)
There is a lot going on in the world that, with the natural eye could be cause for some concern. Wars and rumors of wars, geopolitical uncertainties and martyrdoms may cause some fear and even worry in the life of a modern Christian.
It is something we all experience, but the Father in Heaven has something better for us.
God has promised us a Spirit not of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.
This is one of those moments from the road where I was facing that myself, and God encouraged me by His Spirit and I want to share that as an encouragement to your soul as well in this shaking hour.
Like the rest of us, you may sometimes feel like a total zero. So let me share with you quickly how the number zero works.
The work of God has never been about your skills, about your limitations, about your abilities, resources, influence or your last name.
The work has always been His, but He does it through His people!
(Recorded in Iglesia Vida in Asuncion, July 2025)
The most surprising answer to any of my questions on the whole podcast so far!
I asked them about what are some of the hard challenges they face as missionaries, and what I heard was something very precious that we should all be mindful of.
In this episode, I want to introduce you to two actual names and voices of real people in the eye of something that God is doing around the world; He is making Gen-Z into a full-blown missionary generation!
Teresa ''Sister Harvest'' Niikko and Konsta Riihinen both answered (actually answered) the call to GO in their teenage years, and have been used by God in powerful ways in many nations throughout the Earth.
Why do they ''waste'' their lives and best years doing hard things in hard places when they could be living for themselves? Have they experienced miracles along the way? Could God do the same with you?
If you are a teenager or you have teenagers in your life, this episode will be an encouraging blessing to you!
Jumalan Valtakunta toimii kylvämisellä ja niittämisellä, mihin vaaditaan kestävyyttä. Rakkaus on kärsivällinen ja kaiken se kestää, mikä on joskus helpommin sanottu kuin tehty.
Kuule tosielämän esimerkkejä kestävän kylvämisen ja niittämisen toteutumisesta, ja rohkaistu jaksamaan.
Saarna nauhoitettu Nortwhind Church -seurakunnassa Helsingissä 1.6.2025. sunnuntain ensimmäisessä tilaisuudessa (toinen tilaisuus nähtävissä seurakunnan Youtube -kanavalla)
Can we actually reach the entire world with the good news of Jesus during the lifetime of our generation?
On the back-end of a historic week in Finland, we sit down with a very special guest, a friend of God and a great leader in His work; Ashley Wilson. He is the executive director of Empowered21, a global apostolic umbrella network uniting over 650 million believers in the world.
We discuss some of the many ways that different ministries and movements can harmonize together in order to evangelize nations, some of the opportunities we have been given in the work of the Great Commission, and how we can truly -- within our generation -- see the whole gospel be taken to the whole world!
(Note: Throughout the episode, multiple mentions are made of Ashley's father, which is referring to Dr. Billy Wilson)
Why do so many ministers fall, and even those that seemed to really have a genuine walk with God? And does it mean that it was all fake?
There is a lot of teaching and preaching to encourage about surviving our challenges and failures. But there is another field of danger that we are much less aware of; the traps and risks posed by success. In this raw, heart-to-heart, semi-spontaneous talk to young ministers, we offer lessons that have been learned from good and bad experiences alike, about what we can do to not end up getting killed by success.
Where did human suffering start, and why is it a part of everybody's life?
Does suffering come as a divine punishment for sin, and how should we relate to it in an individual's life?
In this episode we discover that suffering is not meaningless, nor is it something we ought to escape or shield ourselves from. It is a promise of God and an altar we all get to freely use for the glory of God!
There are many buzzwords in Christianity, the meaning of which we are not always so aware of. Among them could be counted the word ¨anointing'', which is often thrown around especially in the Charismatic church without any properly defined understanding of it.
We may read a really encouraging book, and call it an anointed book. We may really be moved by a worship moment, and call it an anointed song. Or maybe we see a very charismatic and powerful preacher and consider them an especially anointed minister.
So what is the anointing? Is it some kind of spiritual superpower that comes by fasting and prayer? Or is it an ethereal goo in the air that gives goosebumps and warm fuzzy feelings in the bellies of the people in the room? Let's explore what the Bible refers to when it uses this word, and what does that have to do with any of us?
Sermon preached in Awakening Church in Eimeldingen Germany, on February 8th 2024
Usein ajattelemme Jeesuksen tarjoamaa elämää ja pelastusta jonakin, mikä pätee vasta tuonpuoleiseen kuoleman jälkeen. Vaikka onkin upea tosiasia että Hän pelastaa meidät kuoleman jälkeiseen elämään, se ei suinkaan jää siihen, vaan Hänellä on hyvin paljon tarjottavaa myös tässä ajassa. Osa sitä on merkitys.
''Tiedättehän, ettei teitä ole lunastettu isiltä perimästänne tyhjänpäiväisestä elämästä millään katoavalla tavaralla, hopealla tai kullalla, vaan Kristuksen, tuon virheettömän ja tahrattoman karitsan, kalliilla verellä.'' 1. Pietari 1:18-19
Lahden helluntaiseurakunnassa 28.7.2024
Part two of our discussion with Matthew Mccluskey, in which we explore how we can do our best to be Christ-like leaders in the chaotic 2020's. How can we navigate chaos and danger with our teams? How does the devil try to destroy God's work how can a leader protect their team against it? What is servant leadership, and how can you grow into your calling and role as a leader of people?
In this episode, we sit down with Matthew McCluskey to discuss the nature of Christ-like leadership, what it means and what it can look like to follow the Holy Spirit as a leader of people in the chaotic 2020's.
The issue of suffering has troubled theologians, philosophers and -- even more so -- ordinary people throughout the ages, but the life of Jesus offers us a way to overcome suffering with Christ, and let it work to our advantage.
In this series, we explore the reality of suffering and pain in the Kingdom of God in an honest and raw way, through the word of God and real-world experience.
This is another raw recording from a session -- just one part of a nine-day package, but in this hour we touch on a truly precious understanding of the life that God has promised for us -- which the whole Church should live in.
You do not need to be a slave to money, the approval of others or the fear of man anymore. You have been adopted into freedom as a child of God!
In four months of revival, we've never preached a single message on revival. If you are interested in a glimpse of what we do preach, this is a raw, unprofessional recording of real moments in the revival history of a nation. Recorded in a spontaneous leaders' conference in Venezuela.
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Sometimes it is uncomfortable, but it is part of the noble journey on the way of Christ. Anything worth having is worth effort, and so it is -- I guess -- with finding a wife.
Let's talk about some steps to take in order to make that dream of yours a bit more real again.
What if no one wants to date you? What if you can't find any good options? In part 4 of the Christian dating series, we explore some possible roadmaps to help anyone struggling with a lack of serious good options in trying to find a partner.

Why do some people experience more miracles than others? What is faith and what is unbelief? How to grow in faith? How is faith misunderstood in the modern church?
In this episode, I sit down with David Rotärmel, a friend of mine and leader of Reviving the World, which is an international ministry committed to proclaiming the message of Jesus throughout the nations through mass gospel campaigns. We discuss matters of faith, the role it plays in the Christian life, and the possibilities it opens up to the people of God.
*Footnote:
The Bible verse referred to at 33:07 is 1. Corinthians 1:17
''For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.''
