Acts 15 gives us a front row seat to a sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas over John Mark. Pastor Abbie shows how even mission-minded leaders collide when deep convictions pull in different directions. Rather than avoiding conflict, we learn to name the roots beneath our reactions, recognize the gift in our differences, clarify roles and expectations, and keep our lives anchored to Jesus and his mission.You will hear how God still advanced the gospel through their split and later brought reconciliation, and you will be invited to practice the same posture in your everyday relationships. If life is too short and the gospel is too big to let bitterness win, how do we handle conflict and hand it to Jesus? Press play for honest teaching, practical questions, and hope for healing.Bible references usedActs 15:36-41Acts 13:13Acts 13:1-3Acts 14:21-22Acts 1:82 Corinthians 5:201 Corinthians 9:6Colossians 4:102 Timothy 4:11Proverbs 27:17

Tap here to send us a message!The Bible is filled with many stories, but at its core, it tells the same story again and again. From Adam choosing the tree to the Prodigal Son walking away, it is the story of man reaching for his own way and God reaching back in mercy. The tree that brought sin into the world was answered by the tree where Jesus gave His life to redeem it.07/20/2025 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:Genesis 3:22-24Luke 15:17-24Luke 13:3Acts 17:30Romans 5:12Galatians 3:13I Peter 2:24Romans 3:23Revelation 2:7Revelation 22:14Genesis 3:22Revelation 13:8

One of God's great promises is to give us His Spirit -- the Holy Spirit. "The promise" referred to in today's verse is the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38-39). What an incredible gift this is! Sometimes we act like we're entitled to have God's Spirit living in us. We take it for granted. But we shouldn't because we certainly don't deserve this blessing. It's all of grace.Join me for today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.Scripture Used in Today's MessageActs 2:38-39Isiah 44:3Acts 2:16-18Galatians 3:14If you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism expereinces.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.TomthePreacher.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

In this session, we explore the transformative journey of Saul, a harsh persecutor of the early Church, who encounters Jesus on the road to Damascus. This encounter dramatically changes Saul; he realizes that Jesus is the Messiah, leading him to become a fervent proclaimer of the gospel.Bible ReadingsActs 8:1-3Acts 9:1-31Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Joshua BoydI want you to picture in your mind something that you cannot see with your eyes.  Imagine the largest athlete you can think of – a six foot seven 300-pound beast of a man.  This being is with you everywhere you go, night and day.  He is powerful enough to overcome any person.  He doesn't sleep or take a break.  There are more angels in this room than people – we'll get into why that is from the Scriptures later.  There is an entire real other world happening around us all the time.  A world we cannot see or feel with our senses but it existed before this physical world we live in now existed.  They beings in the spiritual realm have been around much longer than any human – they've lived longer than humans have been created.  Angels are real.  Do you believe that?  Do you believe that YOU have an angel assigned to you for life?  Angels have a specific purpose and there are different angels for different purposes.  In this series, we will discover the purpose of angels and how they work.  Scripture References1 Chronicles 21:16, 301 Chronicles 28:11, 182 Chronicles 3:10-13Daniel 10:4-10Matthew 18:1-5, 10Colossians 2:181 Corinthians 6:3Acts 5:17-23

Iron on Iron | Spencer Davis | Friday MorningSome people claim to be Christians but aren't. They infiltrate the church and lead people away from the Lord. How do we spot these wolves in our churches? In this session, Spencer walks through some verses in Jude, where Jude describes characteristics we need to be looking out for. We are called to fight and to contend for the faith. Youth ministry is not JV, it's varsity. Let's lead our students well, recognize the wolves, and take action.Resources:Jude 1:3Acts 20:292 PeterPlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help others grow in their faith.

In this episode, Jori discusses with her listeners what Paul reminded the believers in Galatia concerning the law being our guardian until Christ came in order that we might be justified by faith.  JOIN DR.

No matter where we are in our lives, prayer is our vital connection to God's presence. In essence, we should pray out of our inherent need for Him and a deep desire to please Him. Recognizing these fundamental motivations unlocks a profound resilience within us, ensuring that we remain connected to Him.03/21/2024 - Thursday NightScriptures Used (In Order of Occurrence):II Chronicles 7:14Ephesians 4:30James 5:16Psalm 63:1-3Acts 17:24-28Psalm 40:17Psalm 37:23Titus 3:5Micah 7:18Psalm 42:3Isaiah 53:5

Series: Guard the TreasureTitle: Who leads the Church & how?Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:1-13 NIV 1 Peter 5:1-3Acts 20:17-31Titus 1:5-9Acts 6:1-7Eph 4:11-12Luke 22:27Bottom Line: When we grow in Christ-like character and competency, we move towards being qualified to lead in the church.SERMON OUTLINENOTESOUTLINESDISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDSERMON OUTLINEIntroduction“1 Timothy 3 (The Bible Exposition Commentary): As we noted before, even though the church is an organism, it must be organized or it will die. Leadership is a part of spiritual organization” -WWSeveral others I read said that everything rises and falls on leadership. We know this intuitively. We see it in the workplace. We see it in sports. We see it in politics. Great leaders lift everyone else up. And the great leaders aren't just great in competencies. They are great in character. So it should not surprise us that most of God's qualifications for his leaders are based on character. ContextOUTLINE (Based on Wiersbe & Platt)Key theme: How to manage the ministry of the local churchKey verse: 1 Timothy 3:15I. The Church and Its Message (1)II. The Church and Its Members (2–3)A. Praying men (2:1–8)B. Modest women (2:9–15)C. Dedicated officers (3:1–13) THIS WEEK STARTS HEREThe Bible identifies 2 primary leadership roles in the church:Pastors/elders, who are servant-leaders. (Aka overseers, bishops, shepherds)Presbyter or elder, referring to the person (mature)Pastor or shepherd, referring to their role. (Lead, feed, protect, model)Bishop or overseer, referring to their role. (Watch over, see Pastor) We do not see bishops over elders/pastors in the early church.1-3 are all interchangeable because their all referring to the same person/role.Minister or deacon, referring to those who support the pastor/elder.Deacons, who are leading servants.The Bible identifies 4 responsibilities of pastors/elders: (3:1-7; Acts 20:17-31)Lead under the authority of Christ. #LEADOur pastors/elders are accountable to the church members i.e. Matt 18:15-20Our pastors/elders are accountable to GodCare for the body of Christ. #PROTECT (Acts 20:28-30; 1 Peter 5:2) “be on guard” for “savage wolves” in sheep's clothingTeach the Word of Christ. #FEEDModel the character of Christ. Bottom line: What will happen if the church imitates this leader? #MODEL 3 Responsibilities of Deacons (3:8-13)Meet needs according to the Word.Support the ministry of the Word.Unify the body around the Word.Model the character of Christ is appropriate here to. 1. Pastors (3:1–7)Generally/summarily: “Above reproach” or “blameless” literally “nothing to take hold upon”; irreproachable observable conduct.“Faithful to his wife” literally “one woman man”Can mean one wife for life thus excluding divorced and/or remarried men (in every case though? No)What about the innocent party when the other was unfaithful?Paul allowed a new believer to let their unbelieving spouse leave the marriage Would not exclude widowers who remarry; Paul may not have ever married—wished for followers to be single like he; Paul encouraged young widows to remarryDoes not require marriage but seems to lean in that direction; this tends to take care of itself in that the typical pool of candidates is usually mostly married menPolygamy obviously not okMost likely meaning: Faithful to your current (some would say one and only) wife in every area of life. From porn to adultery, you are faithful. To not be is to be disqualified.Self-masteryTemperate—sober; clear-headedSelf-controlled—sensible; disciplinedRespectable—the outward expression of an inward self-control Hospitality—showing love to strangers (whether a traveling preacher or a needy church attender)Able to teach—specifically, the word of God. This is our authority and we must know it, believe it, and obey it. This is gifting and a skill.Drinking habits—While drinking is not forbidden by scripture, it is treated as the depressant that it is. A depressant that impairs about ability to make good judgments. This is why in the Old TestamentPriests weren't to drink while on dutyKings were discouraged from becoming drunkMagistrates were warned that they would more likely pervert justice under the influenceProphets would struggle to teach under the influenceSo it makes sense that Paul would discourage it to those who lead and teach in the churchTemper and temperamentGentle—humbly gracious and yielded or even submissiveNot violent—not a bully physically or verballyNot quarrelsome—patient with difficult people; not argumentativeAttitude to money—not a lover of money; greedyDomestic disciplineAnalogy between the family and the church family (Oikos = household)If you don't discipline at home well, you won't discipline the church well, if at allSpiritual maturity—not a new believer or pride may take him down; first called “elders” because they were senior in age and mature in faithOutside reputation—the non-Christian public2. Deacons (3:8–13)—these qualifications have a lot of overlap with elders including able to teach, at some levelSelf-masteryWorthy of respectSincere—genuine, authentic, honestNot indulging in much wineNot pursuing dishonest gainOrthodox convictionsThey must keep hold of the deep truths (mysteries or sum total of the revealed truths of the faith) of THE faith (not just any faith) with a clear conscience (as opposed to letting go of these truths like false teachers).Trusting & ObeyingTested and approved—period of probation where the congregation can assess your character, beliefs and gifts of the candidates.Irreproachable home lifeIf a woman deacon or wife of a deaconWorthy of respectNot malicious talkers (gossipers)TemperateTrustworthy in everythingDomestic disciplineFaithful to his wifeManages his household wellIf served well so far they receiveAn excellent standingGreat assurance in their faith in Jesus ChristD.

To the “educated” (6:20–21)ConclusionBottom Line: When we grow in Christ-like character and competency, we move towards being qualified to lead in the church.Questions to ask elder candidates:In his personal lifeIs he self-controlled?Is he wise?Is he peaceable?Is he gentle?Is he a sacrificial giver?Is he humble?Is he patient?Is he honest?Is he disciplined?In his family lifeIs he the elder/shepherd in his home?If he's single, is he self-controlled?If he's married, is he completely committed to his wife?If he has children, do they honor him?In his social/business lifeIs he kind?Is he hospitable?Is he a friend of strangers?Does he show favoritism?Does he have a blameless reputation (not perfect but above reproach)?In his spiritual lifeIs he making disciplines of all nations?Does he love the Word?Is he a man of prayer?Is he holy?Is he gracious?Questions to ask deacon candidates:Is this person honorable?Is this person genuine?Is this person self-controlled?Is this person a sacrificial giver?Is this person devoted to the Word?Is this person faithful? (Not perfect, but morally pure)Is this person honoring Christ in the home?If a woman, Is she worthy of respect?Is she a malicious talker?Is she temperate and trustworthy in everything?Is she faithful to her husband?In conclusion, let's ask some summary questions:Q. What do I want them to know?A. The qualifications for pastors/elders and deacons.Q. Why do I want them to know it?A. Because they are to select their leaders based on these qualifications.Q. What do I want them to do about it?A. 1. Choose qualified leaders to lead your church.Become a qualified leader whether you are ever selected or not.Q. Why do I want them to do it?A. Because this is what a true disciple of Jesus Christ looks like and what we're to become over time.Q. How can they begin to do this?A. 1. Take the test yourself. Go through the qualifications and grading yourself.Repent where appropriate and believe that God can transform you into a qualified leader.PrayNOTESElders in the New Testament are tasked with several key duties, including:1. **Spiritual Oversight:** Providing spiritual guidance and leadership to the church community.2. **Teaching and Doctrine:** Instructing and ensuring adherence to sound biblical doctrine.3. **Shepherding the Flock:** Caring for the well-being of the congregation, like a shepherd caring for a flock.4. **Modeling Character:** Demonstrating a godly and mature character for others to follow.5. **Prayer:** Engaging in prayer for the church and its members.6. **Protecting from False Teaching:** Guarding the congregation against false doctrines or teachings.These duties are outlined in passages like 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9 and 1 Peter 5:1-5 in the New Testament.OUTLINESBKC OutlineI.

In this episode we talk about living in the freedom of God's grace versus the slavery of legalism. While this episode is lengthy, there is some much more that could have been said on the topic or even just regarding the book of Galatians. After listening to this episode, I would highly encourage you to go read Galatians start to finish keeping in mind what we discussed today.Purchase The Grace Awakening (Chuck Swindoll).View the definition of "justify".View the definition of "righteousness".Quotes used:AMP Bible footnote: "Being justified is a legal or judicial declaration of righteousness. Justification has two parts: (1) Being declared free of blame, acquitted of sin—not guilty. Believers are justified because Jesus Christ personally assumed the guilt for our sin on the cross; (2) God declares the person righteous, that is, placed in a position of right-standing with Him. A person may not be made righteous by his personal behavior, no matter how good, or by the declaration of any other human being.""There is a battle raging today throughout the world in the heads and hearts of multitudes of people, who just will not accept the fact that they can do absolutely nothing to justify themselves before God!" (Phil Newton)"Paul did not deny that good works were significant. He just denied that they were the grounds of our acceptance. Ephesians 2:8-10 shows Paul's gospel clearly—God's initiating grace, through mankind's faith response, unto good works." (Dr. Bob Utley)Scriptures referenced:Matthew 7:28-29Galatians 5:1Acts 10Acts 13:1-3Acts 13:9Acts 13:46Acts 14:24-15:11Genesis 17:14Leviticus 12:3Romans 3:20James 2:10Galatians 1:1-9Galatians 2:11-14Galatians 2:15-21John 17:20-212 Corinthians 5:21Romans 8:33-34Romans 8:38-39Ephesians 2:8-10Galatians 3:1-3Matthew 22:37-40John 14:15John 3:16Romans 5:8Matthew 3:17Romans 5:3Hebrews 13:52 Timothy 1:7Philippians 4:6Romans 8:1Philippians 3:12-14Hebrews 4:16Psalm 107:6, 13, 19, 282 Corinthians 5:9Colossians 1:9-10Ephesians 5:10John 1:12-131 John 5:3Galatians 5:2-4Revelation 12:10-11Romans 6:1-22 Corinthians 5:17Romans 8:14**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**I said that Paul lists his "credentials" so as to defend against the attacks of his opponents therefore defending against the diminishing of his message. Another reason he lists his credentials is to show how those things cannot save (e.g., Philippians 3:1-11).When I said, "Is that not different than the whole distinction between identity and behavior," I didn't mean to say "not".Support the showIf you feel so led, you can support the podcast by clicking HERE or by clicking the "Support the show" button above.

Elizabeth Marbach was the communications director for Ohio Right To Life.But on that fateful day of August 15, 2023, she dared to do the unthinkable!

What does it really mean to be "equally yoked"? And why is it crucial to every marriage or partnership? Jeanette explains how lopsidedness in faith and relationships can be avoided if partners share the same mindset and are moving in the same direction.It is common knowledge that many famous couples throughout history, literature, and the Bible, like Mark Antony and Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet, Abraham and Sarah, and Beyoncé and Jay-Z have left an indelible mark on the world. But in this episode, Jeanette will tell you more about the power couple she ultimately aspires to be… A couple that fully exemplifies being life partners not only in marriage but also in business and in ministry—Priscilla and Aquila. Get ready for deep love and intimacy by tuning in and letting this faith-filled episode inspire your relationships to be equally yoked. “When you have a partner, you need to be equally yoked. You need to have the same mindset of where you're going. You are going to complete each other because you guys are partners in life.”“There was a whole period in my life where I want me and my husband to be Beyonce and JayZ… Nope! Not anymore… I want us to be Priscilla and Aquila. I wanna be THAT power couple.”“She (Priscilla) is her own person doing her own things, but she's partnering with not only God, but her husband.”“They are the couple to aspire to. They were literal life partners and their partners in ministry, money-making, and in marriage.”“When I see relationships like Priscilla and Aquila's, I'm just ready. I am ready for deep love and intimacy.”Verses: Romans 16:3Acts 18:2,18,261 Corinthians 16:19In this episode:Why it is crucial to be equally yoked with your partnerThe story of Priscilla and Aquila and why they are the power couple you should aspire to be The importance of intimately connecting not only with God but also with your partnerBeing rebellious according to society but doing things according to God's willWanna go deeper?
