Atlantic Gospel Hour

Are you living with secrets that are making you sick? Research shows that people who hide their deepest selves are twice as likely to struggle with relationships, moral choices, and personal satisfaction. In this powerful exploration of Psalm 139, Mike Eells reveals why God's complete knowledge of you—your thoughts, words, and actions—isn't meant to terrify but to transform. Discover how the God who knows your darkest moments accepted you anyway, why you can never outrun His presence (and shouldn't want to), and how His infinite knowledge becomes your ultimate security. Whether you're struggling with guilt, seeking deeper faith, or simply want to understand God's personal care, this message offers the freedom that comes from being fully known and fully loved.

Every day you make thousands of choices—what to eat, what to wear, where to go. But some choices carry eternal weight. In his final address to Israel, Joshua didn't ask for casual interest or half-hearted commitment. He demanded a choice: "Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve... but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Eric McLaren unpacks Joshua 24 to reveal why God doesn't accept neutrality, why fence-sitting is actually a decision against Him, and what wholehearted commitment looks like in everyday life. If you've been coasting spiritually, trying to serve both God and the world, or struggling to make a decisive commitment to Christ, this message will challenge you to stop straddling the fence. Discover why the most important choice you'll ever make isn't just a one-time decision but a daily recommitment to serve the Lord—no matter what everyone else is doing.

What if you worked all day in scorching heat, then watched your employer pay the guy who showed up in the last hour the exact same wage you earned? You'd be furious, right? That's exactly the reaction Jesus wanted when He told the parable of the workers in the vineyard. This eccentric employer—representing God Himself—demolishes our human notions of fairness, merit, and what people "deserve." Mike Eells unpacks this controversial parable to reveal a stunning truth: God's kingdom doesn't operate on our economy of fairness but on His economy of grace. If you've ever felt like you're doing more than others and getting less, if you've struggled with comparing your spiritual journey to someone else's, or if you secretly think God owes you something for your faithfulness, this message will challenge and transform your understanding of God's generous character. Discover why grace that seems unfair is actually the best news you could ever receive.

Are you living like your faith matters—or like it’s optional? In 1 Timothy 6:1–14, Paul gives his young protege Timothy a threefold mission: to command certain people, fight the good fight, and guard the gospel deposit until the return of Christ. In this message, Duane Brown unpacks each of these responsibilities and shows how they apply to us today—whether in our work, faith, or spiritual calling.
This sermon challenges shallow Christianity, urging believers to take ownership of their faith. If you’ve ever felt lukewarm, sidelined, or uncertain of your role in God’s kingdom, this teaching will help you step into faithful obedience with clarity and courage. You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of your calling, strengthened resolve to persevere in faith, and renewed motivation to honor Christ in all you do.

What if everything you’re chasing is ultimately temporary? Eric McLaren unpacks Jesus’ radical teaching about laying up eternal investments rather than earthly wealth. Using Scripture, illustrations, and probing questions, he challenges believers to evaluate where their true treasures lie—and how that perspective reshapes everything from generosity to daily priorities.
This message helps you see how your choices today echo into eternity. If you’ve ever felt tension between what you own and who you want to become, this sermon offers clarity and guidance. You’ll gain renewed vision for what really matters, courage to let go of lesser things, and hope that what you do for Christ never fades.

When the seas of life rage, where do you look? In this powerful sermon, Mike Eells draws us to Scripture and comfort through the storms. He reminds us that even when circumstances overwhelm, Jesus is not distant—He draws near and takes the role of our anchor in the tempest. With biblical examples, personal stories, and eternal promises, Mike helps believers face fear, doubt, and despair through the lens of Christ’s presence.
This message offers more than encouragement—it gives you a spiritual lifeline. If you’ve ever felt alone in your struggle, weary from the fight, or broken by life’s pressures, this sermon will help you reorient your heart to the truth that Jesus is in the boat with you. You’ll gain renewed trust, fresh perspective, and the courage to stand firm when everything around you is shifting.

How do you respond when your life seems out of control? Joseph’s journey—sold into slavery, falsely accused, forgotten in prison—shows us the tension between suffering and sovereignty. In this message, Stefan Johnson walks through Joseph’s life to remind us that God never loses control, even when circumstances suggest otherwise. From the pit to the palace, Joseph’s faith was tested, stretched, and refined—but his confidence never wavered in God’s purpose.
If you’re currently in a season of waiting, hardship, or uncertainty, this sermon brings both perspective and hope. You’ll learn how to see God’s unseen hand in every plot twist, hold onto faith in seasons of silence, and trust that the “delays” may be part of a greater design. Let this message remind you: your story isn’t random—it’s held in God’s purposes.

How does God respond when those He loves repeatedly turn away? The story of Israel is our story: unfaithfulness, rebellion, wandering. But in the midst of their failure, God’s grace shines all the brighter. In this message, Mike Eells guides us through Israel’s lapses—idolatry, disobedience, backsliding—and then brings us to the cross where God’s mercy triumphs. He doesn’t hide His anger, but neither does He withhold compassion.
This sermon helps you face your own patterns of unfaithfulness honestly, yet with hope. It shows that God’s grace is not just a safety net—but the anchor in the storm. You’ll see the call to repentance, the power of restoration, and the sure promise that you are never too far for God’s redeeming love.

What does resurrection even mean—spiritual metaphor, or future reality? Jesus confronted that question head-on in His earliest followers’ minds—and their confusion should mirror ours.
Mike Eells dives into Easter’s greatest mystery: How are the dead raised? Drawing from Scripture and the evidence of Christ’s rising, he explains how death is not the end, but the doorway to new, imperishable life for those in Christ.
This message is for anyone wrestling with doubt, fear, or questions about what comes after death. You’ll gain clarity on what it means to be raised with Christ, how this hope anchors your everyday faith, and why the resurrection isn’t just Easter hype—it’s the foundation of our confidence that death has lost its sting.
Let this sermon remind you that in Christ, life wins. Death cannot hold those who believe.
