  • The Empty Space Within: How Only God Can Fill the Void
    Sep 26 2025

    Send us a text

    What does it take to find genuine contentment in a world of empty promises? In this powerful debut episode of Truth Talk, Pastor Greg Abraham and Brother Hubert Saylor cut through the noise to address the void we all feel inside—a space designed specifically for God's presence.

    The hosts share profound insights about how humans frantically attempt to fill this emptiness with possessions, relationships, achievements, and addictions. "People try to put all kinds of things inside that space," Pastor Abraham explains, pointing out how even Hollywood celebrities with seemingly perfect lives turn to substances because material success never satisfies our spiritual hunger.

    Brother Hubert recounts a touching story of helping a 66-year-old man discover salvation through a simple, sincere prayer. This powerful testimony illustrates how spiritual awakening often begins when we finally acknowledge our emptiness and respond to God's gentle drawing. The biblical parable of the Prodigal Son comes alive as they discuss how many of us, like the wayward son, imagine fulfillment exists somewhere beyond God's presence, only to discover true satisfaction in returning home.

    One of the most memorable moments comes when Brother Hubert shares the story of a grandmother who baked brownies with "just a little" contamination to teach her grandchildren why even small compromises with sin are unacceptable. This vivid illustration drives home their message that spiritual victory requires both submission to God and active resistance against temptation.

    The conversation concludes with a beautiful invitation from Isaiah 55, encouraging listeners to "taste and see that the Lord is good" through personal experience rather than mere intellectual understanding. If you're searching for authentic spiritual truth that addresses life's deepest questions, this thought-provoking conversation between two seasoned spiritual mentors offers wisdom that transcends religious clichés and speaks directly to the human condition.

  • Jesus Is Coming: Are You Ready?
    Sep 24 2025

    Send us a text

    Sister Deb delivers a soul-stirring wake-up call about the imminent return of Jesus Christ. With unwavering conviction, she emphasizes a truth too often overlooked in today's churches: "Ready or not, He's coming." This isn't merely a theological concept but a promised reality that demands our immediate attention.

    The urgency in Sister Deb's message resonates throughout as she points to the unmistakable signs surrounding us—wars, rumors of wars, nation rising against nation, famines, pestilence, and earthquakes occurring with increasing frequency. These aren't coincidental events but biblical prophecies unfolding before our eyes. She reminds us that God's track record of fulfilled prophecies is perfect; every prediction from Noah's flood to the virgin birth of Christ came to pass exactly as foretold. His future promises, including Christ's return, carry the same certainty.

    What makes this message particularly powerful is the stark contrast presented between preparedness and unpreparedness. For believers living in holiness and service, Christ's return brings unimaginable joy—the end of suffering, pain, and death. For those unprepared, it means judgment with eternal consequences. Sister Deb doesn't mince words: "Heaven is free, but hell is forever." Salvation costs nothing because Jesus already paid the price, yet many continue postponing this life-altering decision.

    The most sobering reminder comes when Sister Deb describes how Christ will return "in the twinkling of an eye"—the fastest human reflex possible—leaving no time for last-minute prayers or repentance. Now is the acceptable time; today is the day of salvation. Not tomorrow, not someday, but right now. Don't gamble with eternity or make the same mistake as the foolish virgins who delayed their preparations until it was too late. Your relationship with Jesus Christ is the only thing that will matter when He splits the skies.

    Ready to make that life-changing decision? Listen to Bible Talk every Sunday at 4 pm on WTUK 105.1 FM or stream the podcast on Apple or Spotify. Your eternal destiny hangs in the balance—choose wisely.

  • CCOG Sunday morning Service 9-7-25. When Band-Aids Aren't Enough: Jesus Heals the Root Cause
    Sep 9 2025

    Send us a text

    Through powerful biblical examples, we explore how genuine encounters with Jesus result in profound, lasting change that addresses the root causes of our pain rather than merely masking symptoms.

    • No one comes to Jesus and walks away unchanged
    • We are invited to come as we are with all our scars, wounds, and brokenness
    • Band-aids cover wounds but don't heal the underlying cause
    • The leper's story demonstrates faith, desperation, and Jesus's willingness to touch the untouchable
    • Levi (Matthew) left everything behind when Jesus simply said "follow me"
    • The sinful woman at Simon's house showed greater love than the religious host
    • Religious pride is often harder to break free from than other sins because it masquerades as righteousness

    If you're looking for a church home, join us at Cawood Church of God in Cawood, Kentucky. Sunday School at 10:30am, Sunday morning service at 11:30am, and Wednesday night at 6:30pm. Visit hor421showbuzzsprout.com for more information or email hor421ministries@gmail.com.

  • Your tongue weighs two ounces but carries the weight of the world.
    Sep 8 2025

    Send us a text

    Your words can set forests ablaze or bring healing to wounded hearts. Sister Deb Osborne delivers a powerful, challenging message about the critical importance of taming our tongues in a world where speech runs wild.

    Drawing from James 3, Sister Deb confronts the reality that while humans have successfully tamed ferocious lions, grizzly bears, and elephants, we struggle to control that small two-ounce muscle behind our teeth. "If we don't control our tongue, it will control us," she warns, reminding listeners that our words carry weight far beyond their momentary utterance.

    The message explores how our speech reflects what's in our hearts—"what's down in the well comes up in the bucket." When our hearts harbor anger, bitterness, or selfishness, these emotions inevitably flow through our words, sometimes causing lasting damage that can't be undone. Sister Deb shares personal observations of hurtful words spoken even within church walls, emphasizing that careless speech has destroyed families, marriages, and faith communities.

    With practical wisdom, Sister Deb offers a five-question filter for our speech: Is it true? Will it help someone? Is it inspiring? Is it necessary? Is it kind? This thoughtful approach, coupled with prayer for divine intervention, provides a pathway to more conscious, edifying communication. After all, as Matthew 12:36-37 reminds us, we will give account for every careless word on judgment day.

    Whether you struggle with gossip, angry outbursts, or thoughtless remarks, this message delivers both conviction and hope. The solution begins with heart transformation and continues with daily, intentional practice. Listen as Sister Deb challenges you to examine your words for an entire day and consider: Would God be pleased with what you've said? The answer might transform not just your speech, but your relationships and spiritual life.

  • 8-31-25 CCOG Sunday Service Follow Me: Leaving Everything Behind Changes Everything
    Sep 2 2025

    Send us a text

    We explore the transformative power of faith and the importance of believing not just that God can work in our lives, but that He will. Jesus meets people exactly where they are—whether in a tax office, on a street corner, or in a church pew—and calls them to follow Him without prerequisites.

    • Faith requires believing that God is and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him
    • Jesus came primarily as a teacher and preacher, not just a miracle worker
    • Everyone who genuinely encounters Jesus walks away changed
    • Band-aid Christianity only covers problems temporarily without healing the cause
    • The story of Levi (Matthew) demonstrates leaving everything to follow Jesus
    • Jesus finds us where we are and accepts us as we are
    • The difference between tax collectors and Pharisees was recognizing their need for healing
    • Salvation happens "in the field" as well as in church buildings
    • We must forgive others as we have been forgiven

    If you're carrying burdens today, the Great Physician is here to make you whole. You don't need to clean up first—just commit to following Him, and He'll take care of the rest.

  • Bible Talk with Sister Deb: Crying Out to God: How Passionate Prayer Transforms Lives
    Sep 1 2025

    Send us a text

    Prayer—it's the heartbeat of Christian life, but are we truly engaging with it as Scripture intends? Sister Debra Osborne delivers a soul-stirring message about the transformative power of fervent prayer that will challenge your approach to communication with God.

    Drawing from James 5:16, Sister Deb unpacks what it means to pray with fervency—not just reciting memorized phrases but pouring out your entire being before the throne of grace. She reveals how the most powerful prayers often transcend words entirely, with the Holy Spirit translating our tears, groans, and emotional outpourings into perfect petitions before the Father.

    Through vivid biblical examples, we witness prayer that changed history: the early church's intercession that freed Peter from prison chains, Hannah's tearful supplications that birthed the prophet Samuel, and Jesus Himself praying so intensely His sweat became like drops of blood. Sister Deb shares the remarkable account of James the Apostle, whose knees became calloused like a camel's from countless hours spent in prayer.

    Beyond spiritual inspiration, this episode offers practical guidance for developing your own fervent prayer life. Learn why finding a quiet place matters, how forgiveness prepares the heart for effective prayer, and why praying for others might be the most powerful form of intercession. As Billy Graham wisely noted, "Heaven is filled with answers to prayers that nobody even asked for."

    The world around us faces unprecedented challenges—illness, homelessness, spiritual lostness—that demand we "touch heaven" with passionate prayers. When God's children pray fervently, heaven moves and circumstances change. Join Sister Deb in answering the call to deeper communion with God that transforms not just our own lives, but the world around us.

  • CCOG 8-24-25 Sunday Morning Service. Your New Identity Awaits Beyond the Struggle
    Aug 26 2025

    Send us a text

    Have you ever felt like you're wrestling with God? That intense, all-night struggle where you're fighting against transformation even though you desperately need it? This powerful message takes us deep into Genesis 32, where Jacob's wrestling match with God forever changed his identity.

    The struggle is familiar to all of us. We run from our past, carrying names and labels that were never meant to define us. Like Jacob the deceiver, we've developed survival mechanisms and manipulative tendencies that seem impossible to shake. But God meets us in our darkest night, initiating a wrestling match that targets the very core of our strength.

    What makes this encounter so profound is God's question: "What is your name?" It's not that He doesn't know—He's waiting for us to acknowledge who we truly are before He can transform us. The moment of honest confession becomes the turning point where God doesn't just give us a new label, but fundamentally changes our nature.

    "You are not in recovery; you are recovered. You are not sick; you are healed. You are not defeated; you are victorious." These declarations remind us that our new identity in Christ isn't just aspirational—it's our current reality when we embrace who God says we are. Even our wounds become reminders of blessing, not curses. Like Jacob's permanent limp, our scars tell the story of divine encounter.

    Whether you're in the midst of a spiritual struggle or carrying labels from your past that no longer serve you, this message invites you to a divine name-change ceremony. Stop asking God who He is when His nature is already embedded within your new identity. Your morning of blessing is coming—hold on and don't let go until He blesses you.
