    Apr 20 2026

    Dive into Psalm 119:17–24 with Mike Massa as he asks one piercing question: Why am I really doing this? In this teaching, Mike unpacks our hidden motives, the danger of a purely soulish life, and the joy of truly knowing God through His Word.

    You’ll learn what it means to pray,

    Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law, and how fixing your gaze on Jesus moves you from information to transformation.

    In this episode, Mike talks about:

    - The difference between soulish reasoning and a Spirit-led life

    - Why it’s impossible to please God without faith

    - How pride opens the door to darkness—and why God Himself resists the proud

    - The royal, “Berean” call to search the Scriptures to actually encounter Jesus

    - How the living Word exposes motives and sets your heart on fire

    If you’re hungry to move beyond dry Bible study into a living encounter—

    to live by God’s Word, renew your mind biblically, and hear God’s voice—

    this message from Psalm 119 is for you.

  • Psalm Podcast 63 - Psalm 119 & the Wholehearted Life: How God’s Word Sets You on Fire
    Apr 6 2026

    In this episode, we begin a journey through Psalm 119, the “crown jewel” of the Psalms, and explore how God’s Word ignites a wholehearted pursuit of Him.

    Drawing from Psalm 119:1–8, Mike unpacks what it means to be “undefiled in the way”, to walk in the law of the Lord, and to seek God with a whole heart. He weaves together Scripture from Deuteronomy, Hebrews 4, John 5, and 2 Peter 1 to show how the Word of God, when spoken and received by faith, becomes a living fire that transforms our hearts, desires, and daily walk.

    You’ll hear:

    - Why reading the Bible out loud daily is like breathing and eating for your spirit

    - How Psalm 119 is a literary and spiritual masterpiece, not just repetition

    - What it means to seek God with your whole heart (with real-life stories from Mike’s early days at Christ for the Nations)

    - How God’s Word strengthens you to turn from iniquity and walk in His ways

    - Why diligence in God’s precepts leads to freedom, clarity, holiness, and courage

    One key takeaway from this episode:

    “If you will do what they are doing, you will understand why they are doing it.”

    Faith means stepping into obedience first, then understanding follows.

  • Psalm podcast 62 - Hearing God or You?
    Mar 30 2026

    Many believers struggle to know: Am I really hearing the Holy Spirit, or just my own thoughts, emotions, and desires?

    In this message, Mike walks through Hebrews 4:12–13 and unpacks what it means for the Logos of God to be living, powerful, and sharper than any two‑edged sword—able to divide between soul and spirit and expose the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

    You’ll learn:

    - The difference between Logos and Rhema, and why Logos is so weighty

    - How the Word of God carries the very substance of God’s interior reality

    - Why so much of the Western Church is weak without a clear soul/spirit distinction

    - How God’s Word lovingly exposes our motives, pride, fear, and self‑trust

    - What it means that everything is “naked and open” before the One to whom we must give account

    If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re being Spirit‑led or just soul‑driven, this teaching will help you let God’s living Word cut deep, reveal what needs to be thrown away, and strengthen what He wants to grow.

  • Psalm podcast 61 - Why Did Jesus Heal This Blind Man Twice? A Strange Story in Mark 8
    Mar 23 2026

    In Mark 8, Jesus heals a blind man in Bethsaida in a way that breaks His usual pattern: He takes the man out of town, spits in his eyes, lays hands on him, and then ministers to him twice. Why is this story so unusual—and what does it reveal about spiritual sight?

    In this teaching, Mike Massa explores:

    - Why Jesus might have taken the man out of the town before healing him

    - The possible spiritual significance of spitting in Jewish culture

    - Why the man first saw “men like trees walking”—and what that might mean

    - How this moment may reflect overwhelming spiritual power flowing from Jesus

    - What it looks like to grow in spiritual awareness and maturity today

    Rather than assuming the man simply had “blurry vision,” Mike considers whether he was actually seeing into the spiritual realm—perceiving people as “trees of righteousness” (Isaiah 61, Psalm 1).

    This episode will encourage you to:

    - Read the Bible from fresh positions

    - Ask the Lord for deeper, specific insight

    - Develop a greater sensitivity to the movement of the Holy Spirit

    If you’re hungry to see familiar passages in a new way and to grow in spiritual discernment, this teaching is for you.

  • Psalm podcast 60 - No Bowing, No Compromise: Standing Firm When Pressured by the World
    Mar 16 2026

    Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were not guessing.

    They were certain: “Our God is able to deliver us, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.”

    In this message, Mike unpacks Daniel 3 and shows how these three men lived from a deep, settled confidence in God’s deliverance—not a hesitant “maybe,” but a bold confession of faith.

    - Why their final words make no sense if they expected to die in the fire

    - How “but if not” can be understood as: “If you don’t throw us in, we still won’t bow.”

    - The connection between their stance and our confession in Hebrews 3:1

    - How confession is like hugging God back—our wholehearted response to His embrace

    - How to stand firm when you’re pressed, opposed, or under intense pressure

    Mike closes with a pastoral blessing for those in “furnace seasons,” that your confession would be especially strong in your most pressurized places.

  • Psalm podcast 59 - Breakthrough in the Storm: How to Hear God When Everything Is Falling Apart
    Mar 9 2026

    Are you surrounded by pressure on every side—financial, emotional, relational, spiritual—and wondering how breakthrough could ever come? In this powerful message, Mike Massa shares a stirring exhortation on breakthrough and what it really takes to advance when everything seems against you.

    Drawing from 2 Kings 3, 1 Samuel 30 (Ziklag), and Acts 27 (Paul’s storm), Mike unpacks:

    - Why breakthrough requires focus, not frantic effort

    - The difference between natural strength and spiritual authority

    - How half-heartedness leaves us vulnerable in spiritual warfare

    - How David, at his lowest point, encouraged himself in the Lord and recovered everything

    - How Paul, a prisoner with no natural authority, became the spiritual leader of a doomed ship through a single word from God

    You’ll hear about:

    - The Moabite king who sought demonic power through sacrifice—and why Israel couldn’t stand against it

    - The Kazakh (ḥāzaq) kind of courage: a fierce, focused strengthening of yourself in God

    - The critical shift from “I hope it works out” to hearing God and acting on His word with your whole heart

    If you’re in a storm, under attack, or stuck in paralysis, this episode will call you to:

    1. Stop trying to win every battle at once

    2. Find the decisive point where God is asking you to focus

    3. Seek a living word from the Lord

    4. Hold to it with undivided, wholehearted faith until breakthrough comes

    Stay to the end for a prayer over you—asking God to awaken the undefiled place in you that can still hear His voice even in the middle of chaos, grief, depression, and despair.
