Send us a textWhen did strength start sounding like a shout? We open Philippians 4 and discover a better way: a life marked by steady joy and a reputation for gentleness that disarms cynicism and heals conversations. Joy here isn't tied to lucky breaks or perfect outcomes; it's a Spirit-formed conviction that God is worthy of worship in every season. Gentleness isn't weakness either. It's a practiced willingness to yield, to meet people halfway, and to use influence without crushing the bruised reed.We walk through Paul's rapid-fire commands and unpack how joy is birthed in the gospel, grown by the Holy Spirit, nourished by Scripture, and paradoxically deepened in trials. Then we turn to gentleness, a layered word that carries reasonableness, forbearance, and courtesy—exactly what our combative moment lacks. From traffic merges to tense meetings to unwanted sales calls, we trace everyday places where believers can trade point-scoring for peacemaking and show what grace sounds like under pressure.Everything centers on a short phrase with massive weight: the Lord is near. Hope looks forward to Christ's return, and presence steadies us right now. With that anchor, we can rejoice without props and answer discourtesy with calm. Expect practical handles, real stories, and a vision big enough for hard weeks: resolve to be joyful and pursue a reputation for gentleness.

ROMANS 8 OVERVIEWRomans 8 is a chapter that focuses on the life of believers who are "in Christ" and led by the Holy Spirit, emphasizing freedom from condemnation, strength over sin, and the assurance of future glory and God's unbreakable love. It highlights that the Holy Spirit provides spiritual life, helps believers overcome sin, and intercedes for them in prayer, solidifying their status as God's children. Romans 8 provides a message of hope and security, assuring believers that nothing can separate them from God's love.FREEDOM“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”Romans 8:1 LIFE IN THE SPIRIT“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”Romans 8:6 “For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.”Romans 8:13 ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”Romans 8:28 MORE THAN CONQUERORS“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”Romans 8:37 NOTHING CAN SEPARATE“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”Romans 8:38-39

Discerning spirits, the nature of God, glorious sociality, the timing of the Second Coming, eternal marriage, and plural marriage. In this pivotal lesson, we jump into the deep end of Restoration doctrine, covering Joseph Smith's most profound teachings on the nature of God, our eternal potential, and the covenants that bind us forever. Summary: This episode explores D&C 129–132, revelations containing foundational and high-level doctrine for the Church. D&C 129: Discerning Spirits. The Lord provides "three grand keys" to distinguish a resurrected being, a righteous spirit, and the devil appearing as an angel of light. This section emphasizes the eternal reality of the body and the importance of discernment. D&C 130: Eternal Knowledge and Timing. Joseph records several "items of instruction," including the promise that "whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection," providing an "advantage in the world to come." He also recounts the Lord's gentle command to "trouble me no more" about the timing of the Second Coming. Crucially, we learn that the "same sociality" we enjoy here, "coupled with eternal glory," will exist in the world to come. D&C 131: The New and Everlasting Covenant. This section reveals that in the celestial glory, a man "must enter into this order of the priesthood [the new and everlasting covenant of marriage]" to obtain the highest degree and have an eternal "increase." D&C 132: Eternal Marriage and Law. This essential revelation lays out the foundational law of eternal marriage, which must be "sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise" and entered into by revelation through the authorized servant. We discuss the stark difference between marriages that "have an end when men are dead" and those that lead to "thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers." We also examine the difficult topic of plural marriage, seeing it as an Abrahamic test given by command to "restore all things."

JOHN 10:22-42 - I & THE FATHER ARE ONE - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025“Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. 24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. 30 I and My Father are one.”Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” '? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,' because I said, ‘I am the Son of God'? 37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” 39 Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.The Believers Beyond Jordan40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed. 41 Then many came to Him and said, “John performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.” 42 And many believed in Him there.”To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 17:11-19 As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voice, saying, "Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!" And when he saw them, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?" Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.” Reflection Whenever this is read, people wonder why did the other nine not thank Jesus? It's because they were like so many of us, that when God enters into our life and does something wonderful for us, we sometimes don't focus so much on who was the source of our healing, our transformation and just go on thinking that we're doing much better. We're growing, we're changing, we're healing. Nothing is more important than recognizing the ways in which God continues to heal us and draw us into his kingdom by slowly, one miracle after another miracle after another miracle. A transforming love is what God offers us. And when that transformation happens, we often think it's our own doing. We need to focus on the source and give him praise and thanks for who he is. A God who saves. Closing Prayer Father, increase our awareness of your flow of grace that comes to us over and over again. Help us to live in a disposition of gratitude, knowing that as we make progress, as we grow in our fullness or consciousness, as we grow and change, let us give the credit to the one who is the source of all healing, of all transformation. God within us, the Holy Spirit's power filling us. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Cristino Bouvette joins Ken Yasinski to reflect on Pope Leo's first six months as successor of St. Peter — his tone, gestures, and early decisions — and what they reveal about the direction of the Church today.

I'm wondering, have you read the verse which says, "Be kind to everyone who is kind to you. Be kind to the people you like. Be kind when you want to impress someone, or when there's something in it for you"? No, you haven't seen this verse in Scripture, but Paul wrote to Timothy, And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful (2 Timothy 2:24). That's my word of wisdom for the workplace today: Be kind to everyone. In fact, we've put these words on a set of cards, designed to help you remember them or to pass them along to someone else who may need a word of wisdom for the day. You'll find them ready for your use here. Today it's “Be kind to everyone.” I once witnessed a situation in which a Christian sister was obviously unkind to a person simply because she didn't like that kind of person. Based on her prejudices and some bad experiences she had, she had classified a group of people as undesirable. And so, she was obviously unkind to this person. My heart was hurt to see a Christian treat someone unkindly. Then I realized I probably do similar things all too often. I mean, it's easy to be kind to people who seem to deserve our kindness. But the Bible says we are to be kind to everyone. That includes strangers, people who irritate us, people who are not kind to us—everyone includes everyone! Once I was unkind to a clerk at a hotel who was not very efficient at her job. Her lack of efficiency inconvenienced me just a bit, and though I didn't say anything, I'm sure the look on my face and my body language was most unkind. How easy it would have been for me to say something kind to her, to make her feel a little more comfortable, to forget my minor inconvenience and try to help her a bit. The Holy Spirit hit me between the eyes as I walked away. I heard him say, “You had one chance to show her what Jesus is like, and you showed her what you are like.” Ouch! The Lord's servant must be kind to everyone, even people who don't do their jobs as well as they should. Where do you often fail to be kind? Shore up this area with prayer and ask God to help you to be kind, as the servant of the Lord should be, to everyone.
In 1727, a small group of believers gathered in a German village called Herrnhut — and what happened there changed the world. The Holy Spirit fell on a divided community, transforming it into a movement of love, unity, and unceasing prayer that would ignite missions across the globe.In this episode, Jack unpacks the powerful story of Count Zinzendorf and the Moravian Pentecost — the revival that led to a 100-year prayer meeting and influenced revivalists like John Wesley and the modern missions movement.If you've ever wondered what real revival looks like… this is it. It doesn't begin with noise. It begins with love.#prayer #revival #faith
Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Josaphat (1580-1643), a Catholic and a Ukrainian Basilian monk who is invoked as the “Apostle of Unity.”As Archbishop of Polotsk (present-day Ukraine), he promoted unity between East and West by fostering an Eastern liturgy in union with Rome.Josaphat was murdered by an angry Orthodox mob in Russia on November 12, 1623, at the age of forty-three.With furious cries of "Kill the papist!", the killers rushed upon him with gun and sword. Josaphat's body was thrown into the river but emerged, surrounded by rays of light.His murderers, when sentenced to death, repented their crime and became Catholics.Josaphat is one of the patrons of Poland.Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Welcome to Episode #190 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our sixth of eight episodes in our Twenty-Fourth mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [3]. On today's episode, we will explore the second coming of Jesus in contrast to the greatest news for the church —the Great Snatching Away, or Rapture of the church. On our last episode (#189), we addressed a plethora of New Testament passages that speak of the return of Jesus Christ for his bride, the Church. Jesus is coming back aerially, the same way he went up in Acts 1:9-11. Jesus is returning to snatch believers off the earth before the tribulation that is to follow, which will come upon every person remaining on the earth. That tribulation ends on the Day of the Lord, when Jesus returns bodily to judge the world and establish his kingdom that will have no end.
In Christ, our true identity is unshakable. Even when we stumble or have off days, we are still righteous, whole, joyful, and free in Him. The beautiful truth is that we always gravitate back to who God says we are. Today, we invite the Holy Spirit to fill us with fresh fire and resurrection power—breathing life into our dreams, faith, hope, and vision again. Where His Spirit reigns, there is freedom, healing, and victory! Let's walk in our divine DNA and overflow with His presence. Praise God for who He has made us to be!
We're so excited to welcome our special guests, The Lubecks, to Soul Harvest Worship Center!Be inspired and refreshed as they share what the Holy Spirit has placed on their hearts!#TheLubecks #SoulHarvestChurch #GuestSpeakers #Faith #Encouragement #Hope #Worship
In this episode, Krispin unpacks John 15:18–27 — a powerful passage where Jesus prepares His followers for rejection, not as punishment, but as proof of their purpose. When the world pushes back against your faith, it's easy to feel isolated or discouraged. But Jesus reminds us that standing apart is part of walking with Him. Listen in as Krispin breaks down what it really means to be “set apart,” why opposition often accompanies obedience, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to stay bold, loving, and unshaken in a world that doesn't always understand our faith. If you've ever felt misunderstood for doing the right thing or questioned whether your struggle has meaning, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone — you're chosen, covered, and called.

The conversation critiques the misconception that getting 'saved' is the end goal and emphasizes the ongoing process of growing in spiritual maturity. The discussion goes into the importance of repentance, heartfelt humility, and understanding our broken nature. They highlight the role of the Holy Spirit in giving believers a new heart and spiritual DNA, illustrating the growth from spiritual infancy to maturity. Emphasizing relational discipleship over mere knowledge and obedience, they argue that true spiritual maturity is rooted in genuine love for God and others. The panel reflects on the pitfalls of modern discipleship methods, the need for a redefined understanding of love, and the importance of familial relationships within the church community. Ultimately, the end goal is to mirror the love and humility of Jesus Christ, urging leaders and believers to foster deep, loving relationships as the foundation of genuine discipleship.

In this final instalment of The Emblems of the Holy Spirit series, Pastor Kong Hee shares about the Fire of the Holy Spirit—His presence, purity, power, passion, and prompting. The fire of the Spirit rekindles our hearts, setting them ablaze and alive once more.
What if the problem isn't your limits, but how you handle them? We explore a different kind of freedom: the kind that serves, restrains itself for others, and returns to the heart for renewal before going out again. From hidden bitterness to budget choices, from envy of public gifts to neglect of quiet callings, we trace how small, unexamined habits shape big spiritual outcomes.We dig into Romans 14's vision of the kingdom—righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit—and why love sometimes means limiting your liberty. The parable of the talents gets practical here: God isn't stingy; he's wise. He increases responsibility when we're trustworthy with small things. You'll hear a real-world story of walking away from a lucrative role that conflicted with conscience, and a candid look at why transparency is rare in church life: accountability makes us honest, and honesty makes us change. We also draw sharp parallels between political and religious cultures that promise liberty while practicing control, and why knowing our core texts—Scripture for the church, the Constitution for citizens—matters for resisting manipulation.This conversation is a call to own your decisions, tell the truth about your capacity, and practice your actual gifts rather than coveting someone else's platform. If you're asking for “more,” start by stewarding what's already in your hands. With great liberty comes great responsibility—use it to edify others, not to indulge yourself. If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs a nudge toward faithful stewardship, and leave a rating to help others find the show.

RSM Podcast Archive Room revisits a 1963 sermon by evangelist Fred Huckleberry, unpacking Acts 2:37–38 and the steps to become a Christian: belief, repentance, and baptism leading to the gift of the Holy Spirit. This episode features historic radio announcements, an old‑fashioned revival call to obedience, and a heartfelt invitation to commit to Christ.
Start with the breathtaking claim of Hebrews chapter 1: the same Jesus who walked dusty roads laid the foundations of the earth and shaped the heavens with his hands. We walk through the text step by step, showing how the author of Hebrews applies the divine name to Jesus, places Him above angels, and calls Him unchanging. If creation wears out like a garment, Jesus remains. That single truth reframes faith, hope, and every promise we bank on.We then pivot from soaring theology to a sober warning in Hebrews chapter 2: do not drift. Most of us don't renounce truth in one loud moment; we slide away in silence. Drift looks like busyness without Bible, borrowed convictions without Berean checking, and reading Scripture through the lens of our times instead of reading our times through Scripture. The remedy is clear and possible: pay closer attention to what the eyewitnesses handed down. The word was confirmed with signs, wonders, and gifts of the Holy Spirit—evidence we should not treat lightly.Together we explore why “neglect,” not just “reject,” is the danger of our age. For those outside The Church, ignoring Jesus' rescue leaves no alternate path around a just penalty for sin. For believers, casual faith invites discipline and loss, even as salvation rests secure in Jesus the Messiah. Through Israel's history and the coming judgment on Jerusalem, we're reminded that God's patience is holy, not permissive. The invitation is not to fear for fear's sake but to anchor to the only One who does not change. If you've felt the pull of the worldly tide, this conversation will help you tie the mooring line again—daily Scripture, honest community, and a fresh gaze at the majesty of Jesus.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs an anchor, and leave a review to help more listeners find these studies.

What happens when God gives you a vision that no one else understands? In this powerful interview episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards talks with author, producer, and filmmaker Julie Castro, whose radical obedience to God's call led her to create the unique and spiritually moving film—I Am Life: Wonderment in the Womb. Julie shares her incredible faith journey, from writing her first book On Earth as It Is in Heaven: A Personal Allegory to producing the TV series Thirst No More and Bear Fruit—and now stepping into the world of filmmaking to celebrate life through interpretive dance, music, and divine dialogue. In this inspiring conversation, Julie and Doug discuss: ✅ How God turns obedience into a legacy of creativity and faith ✅ The four-year journey behind I Am Life—and why timing is everything ✅ What it means to create art that glorifies God when the world says "there's no category for that" ✅ The power of waiting on the Holy Spirit before taking your next step ✅ How young artists, pastors, and parents can hear God's voice clearly and walk boldly in their calling
Text: Romans 12:1-2 The Mercies of God is the Basis For the Challenge of Total Commitment GRACE, is when we get what we don't deserve. MERCY, is when we don't get what we DO deserve. Total Commitment Means Being Totally Transformed. The word we get transformed is where we get the word metamorphosis. It's continual and gradual. We should allow the Holy Spirit to help. (2 Corinthians 3:18) In order to know the will of God, we must surrender to that will.
In this episode, Ashley Campbell explores the themes of inner conflict and spiritual warfare through the lens of Mark chapter 3. He discusses the importance of understanding the concept of a divided house, the role of the strong man in spiritual battles, and the significance of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The conversation emphasizes the need for forgiveness, the will of God, and the true nature of family in faith. Ashley encourages listeners to reflect on their relationship with God and to seek understanding and revelation through the Holy Spirit.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Purpose of the Discussion02:25 Understanding the Concept of a Divided House07:47 The Role of the Strong Man and Spiritual Warfare09:48 Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit16:52 The Will of God and True Family23:14 Conclusion and Call to ActionTakeaways-Are you rising up against yourself?-A house divided against itself cannot stand.-Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy.-All sins will be forgiven the sons of men.-Whoever does the will of God is my brother.-Have you really entered into remission?-God's come to forgive us all sins.-The Holy Spirit is a clean spirit.-You need to ask him for revelation.-God wants to give you the word with the word.Keywordsspiritual growth, understanding scripture, Mark chapter 3, inner conflict, Holy Spirit, forgiveness, family in faith, spiritual warfare, Christian teachings, personal reflectionRumble Account: https://rumble.com/user/AshleyCampbellFacebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/dailyencouragementwithashleycampbell/Want to purchase a signed copy of mybook?https://buy.stripe.com/7sI8xdg6F2kZgSIfZ6ORRead the reviews on Amazon? https://a.co/d/gwyks9gWant to send me a financial donationbecause you value what I am doing on social media?https://buy.stripe.com/eVacNt3jTbVz9qg4gkWant to join my Facebook group thatwill equip you with the knowledge of the History of the UnitedStates, what the Constitution means and how you can preserve this great nation we live in?Join my paid group today!

Todayin Ephesians 3, we're talking about the mystery of the church. The word mysteryis used at least six times in the New Testament to refer to the church that wasborn on the day of Pentecost. In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit would comeupon people and anoint them to do special deeds, great works such as Samsondid. But in the New Testament, something new takes place. Something that washidden in the Old Testament. The Holy Spirit would not only come down upon thepeople and upon the church (Acts 2:1-4), but He would enter the hearts of thebelievers and dwell there and never leave. TheHoly Spirit might be grieved (Ephesians 4:30), and He might be quenched (1Thessalonians 5:19), but the Holy Spirit will still be there. Our body is thetemple of the Holy Spirit, the temple of God. 1 Corinthians 6:19:20. My friend,we need to believe and understand this truth, this truth of the mystery of thechurch, being born on the day of Pentecost, is now God's agency, God'sinstitution that He is using to spread the Good News, the Gospel to let theworld know that by faith you can have a relationship with God through JesusChrist. The church is “according to theeternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord”. Thisgreat mystery and truth was important to Paul (vv. 1-5). It was important tothe Gentiles that now they could be one with the Jews and be one in Christtogether (vv. 6-8). It was important to the angels (vv. 9-10). And as we've been seeing through this chapter,it is also very important to the believers that today we should understand thisgreat truth. When God saved Paul, He deposited with him the precious treasuresof the Gospel truth (1 Timothy 1:11). Paul in turn committed these truths to othersand exhorted them to commit the truths to faithful men who would guard and sharethem (2 Timothy 2:2). And in those apostolicdays, the truth of the church was being made manifest in such a way thateverywhere everyone went and they knew as they became a part of that local bodyof believers, the body of Christ, that they were a part of something specialand they had a plan and program. They had a mission to be on with God, and theyturned the world upside down for Jesus Christ (Acts 17:6). And in a very wicked,evil, cruel world, things changed because of the church. Today,I believe that the same thing is happening again. I really believe in theselast days before Jesus Christ comes again. This great truth, the mystery of thechurch should be important to us today as we study through the Scriptures. Weknow that this “mystery” is the key to what God promised in the Old Testament.What Christ did in the gospels, what the early church did in the book of Acts, whatPaul and the other writers teach in the epistles, and what God will do asrecorded in the book of Revelation. God's program today is not the headship ofIsrael, Deuteronomy 28:1-13, but the headship of Christ over the church. Wetoday are under a different leadership, dispensation, if you want to call itthat, from that of Moses and the prophets. We must be careful not to confusewhat God has clarified. Thereason so many churches are weak and ineffective because they do not understandwhat we have and what they have in Jesus Christ. This great truth concerning the church is not a divine afterthought. Itis part of God's eternal purpose in Christ (Ephesians 3:11). When we know this truth, we will have boldness and access with great confidenceinto the Holy of Holies, into the presence of God, and to go forward againstthe gates of hell with the message of Jesus Christ. Oh,my friend, today, like Paul, we ask that you don't lose heart over what ourspiritual leaders and the people of God might suffer on behalf of sharing thisgood news with the others in the world. This passage of scripture shouldencourage us today to give our all to Christ, live for Him, and let His Gospelbe known to the world around us.
We live in a culture in which many believe that the fruit of the spirit are character traits people are born with, and those who are not born with these attributes must work to attain them. In reality, we do not bear fruit through our own efforts but by yielding to the Holy Spirit. In this series, we'll dissect each fruit, differentiating real fruit from its worldly counterpart.
