In this earnest exploration of John 14, Pastor Jason invites the congregation into a deeper understanding of Jesus as The Way, The Truth, and The Life, emphasizing that while His claim is exclusive, His invitation is radically inclusive. By contrasting the disobedience of the first Adam in the Garden of Eden with the triumphant obedience of Jesus, the "second Adam," in Gethsemane, Jason illustrates how Christ paved a unique and necessary path to restore our relationship with God. He reassures us that although there is only one way to the Father, there is "plenty of room" in the Father's house for everyone, reflecting a God who never pushes us away but constantly draws us closer with compassion and mercy. The sermon challenges believers to move beyond religious pluralism or mere inspiration and to fully embrace the unique reality of Christ's incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. Ultimately, Jason calls the community to walk in the ways of Jesus—through serving the marginalized and giving generously—believing that as they align their lives with His Lordship, they will witness the "greater things" God has promised for their city and the world.Referenced Scriptures:John 14:6Psalm 113:7-82 Corinthians 8:2John 14:1-3Romans 5:18-19Deuteronomy 30:19-20John 14:9-12John 1:18

What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do.” – Isaiah 46:11, NIV Years ago, I faced a lot of competition for a particular job I wanted. It was so competitive that I wondered whether or not I should even try. But after I prayed about whether I should go for it, I got a strong sense of peace and confidence about doing so. It was a long process! I had to develop a complex creative presentation and go through several interviews with various groups of people. Along the way, I doubted whether or not I could really get the job. I put myself through a lot of unnecessary stress worrying about the outcome. Finally, though, I turned my worries into prayers. After praying regularly about the job, I sensed that God would make a way for me to get it. Sure enough, God did open the door to that job for me. If I had trusted that God would bring that about after I’d prayed the first time, I would have saved myself all that stress I didn’t actually have to go through while waiting. In Isaiah 46:11, God assures us that he really will do what he says he’ll do in our lives. If God has spoken a truth over your life – such as that he loves you, that he’ll never leave you, or that he’ll meet all of your needs – you can really count on God doing that. It’s something you can be sure God will do! If God planned it, he is currently doing the work behind the scenes to make it happen. Just because you can’t see the result yet, because it’s not yet God’s timing for it to happen, doesn’t mean God has abandoned his work on it for you. This verse has real authority behind it. God tells us clearly that he will bring about what he says and that he will do what he has planned. The focus is entirely on God’s power, and God has unlimited power to do whatever he chooses to do. We never have to worry that God won’t be able to keep his promises to us. No matter what, God always keeps his promises. We can also be sure that none of our mistakes will ruin God’s work in our lives. God tells us in Romans 8:28 that all things will work together for our good. God can take all of our broken pieces and incorporate them into the plans he established for us before we were even born. No matter what, God will continue to work to accomplish good purposes for our lives. Jesus is the ultimate proof that what God says in Isaiah 46:11 is true. Thousands of years before Jesus was born, God said he would send a Savior. But as people waited for that to happen, generation after generation passed. People started to doubt that God would really do what he said he would do. At just the right time, though, God brought about just what he had planned and said he would do. Jesus came to Earth at exactly the best time in history to save our world from sin. Since God was faithful to fulfill the massive promise of sending us a Savior, you can trust God to fulfill the promises he has made to you personally. You can stop exhausting yourself trying to force doors open or worrying that you’ve been forgotten. You can breathe. God always tells the truth. If God said it, it’s coming. If he planned it, it’s happening. Your job isn’t to make it happen; your job is to trust the One who is already doing it. Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how you can trust God to do what he says he will do, reflect on these questions: What’s one promise you’re currently waiting for God to fulfill? In what ways are you currently tempted to doubt God’s promises while you wait, and how can you remind yourself of God’s faithfulness regularly? Looking back, when has God brought about a plan in your life that you once thought was impossible? Are you exhausted from trying to force a result in your own strength rather than trusting God’s timing? When you think about how God always tells the truth and how he never fails, how does that change your level of peace?

Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyPsalms 120–124 establishes the pattern of ascent under pressure.This is not emotional expression.This is covenant movement.The ascent does not begin in peace.It begins in distress.Distress exposes deception.Deception forces the cry.From that cry, help must be defined.Once help is defined, order must be established.Once order is established, it will be tested.And when it is tested, endurance reveals what is real.This sequence leads to one conclusion:Deliverance does not come from man.It comes from Yahuah.This is not poetry alone.This is covenant alignment under pressure.────────────────────WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGEDistress Reveals MisalignmentPsalm 120The ascent begins in pressure. Deceit surrounds the righteous, and truth produces conflict. Recognition forces the cry to Yahuah.Precepts:Psalm 12:2Proverbs 6:16–19Jeremiah 9:3Help Must Be DefinedPsalm 121Help cannot be assumed. It must be identified. Help comes from Yahuah alone, not from creation, systems, or men.Precepts:Psalm 20:7Isaiah 31:1Deuteronomy 33:26–27Order Establishes StabilityPsalm 122Gathering is not casual.

Eyes must remain fixed under pressure and contempt.Precepts:Isaiah 66:5Psalm 2:1–4Job 12:4Deliverance Comes From Yahuah AlonePsalm 124When destruction is certain, Yahuah delivers.

Deliverance proves the source of help.Precepts:Exodus 14:13–14Psalm 34:19Isaiah 43:2────────────────────WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSThe righteous do not avoid pressure.They ascend through it.Distress exposes what surrounds you.Dependence reveals what you trust.Order stabilizes your position.Contempt tests your alignment.Deliverance proves your source.This pattern does not change.If help is misplaced, instability follows.If order is rejected, collapse follows.If endurance fails, alignment breaks.This ascent reveals whether a person is truly aligned with Yahuah or only stable when conditions are easy.────────────────────SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYPsalm 120Psalm 121Psalm 122Psalm 123Psalm 124Psalm 12Proverbs 6Jeremiah 9Psalm 20Isaiah 31Deuteronomy 33Deuteronomy 12Psalm 133Exodus 18Isaiah 66Psalm 2Job 12Exodus 14Psalm 34Isaiah 43Precept upon precept.Law interpreting law.Scripture reinforcing Scripture.────────────────────ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No denominational systems.No theological overlays.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart Check────────────────────SUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.No CashApp.No PayPal.────────────────────FINAL WORDThe ascent is not emotional.It is covenant alignment under pressure.The righteous are not preserved because pressure is removed.They are preserved because their help is correctly defined.Final Heart Check:When pressure comes,do you look to what is visible,or do you stand on the help that comes from Yahuah alone?

Scripture: Proverbs 4:23“Life is getting faster.

“Where are You, God?” If you’ve ever whispered that question through tears, sleepless nights, or silent disappointment, you’re not alone. In this episode, we talk about the painful seasons when God feels distant — when prayers feel unanswered and discouragement makes it hard to even find the words to pray. Yet Scripture tells us something steady and unshakable: Jesus promised He would be with us always. Not sometimes.Not when we feel spiritual.Always. Even in silence. Even in valleys. Even in doubt. What We Discuss Why God can feel distant during hardship How discouragement can drain our ability to pray The truth that God hears even unspoken prayers The danger of believing the lie that God has abandoned us Drawing near to God when emotions say He’s far Finding encouragement through Scripture, worship, and Christian community This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

By Alexis A. Goring Bible Reading:“Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:20 (NLT) “Where are you, God?” If there was a consistent question I asked God last year, that was it. Little did I know that by the start of this year, God would answer my question in profound ways that proved He hears my every prayer and He is always here with us. It started with simple things that were concerning me, then it snowballed into many other issues and situations that were troubling my heart and keeping me awake at night. Sleepless nights were the norm for me that year. I tried praying my way through it, but at times I was too tired to pray. Have you ever been so discouraged that you can barely talk to God about it? However, God taught me that He knows our hearts and He hears even the prayers we don’t have the energy or capacity to pray. He even considers the tears that roll down our faces when we cry as silent prayers, and He understands our pain before we have words to give voice to it. If you’re looking for someone who knows you better than you know yourself, your Maker (God) fits that bill perfectly. Because we live in a world that is negatively affected by sin, we all may face situations in life that cause us to ask, “God, where are you?” It is then that we are tempted by the enemy to believe that God has forsaken us. But in those moments, we need to believe what the Bible says: God will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:8). When you feel far away from God, draw near to Him and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). If you’re having trouble seeking Him, ask God to help you feel His Presence and experience His peace. Remember: He’s always been pursuing a relationship with you before you realized you needed Him and started seeking Him. Now, there’s the fact that God is invisible (1 Timothy 1:17). But the truth is that He is real (Psalm 14:1). Don’t let His invisibility become a barrier to your seeking Him. Over the years, I’ve heard people debate that since we cannot see God, that must mean He doesn’t exist. Well, to that I’d say, we cannot see the air we breathe, but we know that if we don’t have air, we’d be dead. Same with God. We cannot see Him, but we need Him to live. When we are in pain so deep that we can barely get out of bed in the morning and start going about our day, it is important to remember that God is with us in our pain. Soon after the start of this year, God showed me that He had heard my prayers and questions last year. He did this by inspiring a Christian author to ask me if I wanted to read an early copy of her book that is releasing in January 2026. After seeing that the title of the book is “God, Where Are You?”, I knew this was encouragement from God for me. He recommended a whole book (in addition to the Bible) to answer my question. I agreed to read her book and was blessed by it. The author’s name is Dominique Young. The full title of her book is “God, Where Are You?: Unmasking Your Pain, Uncovering His Presence”. It is advertised on Amazon as “a safe space for your deepest questions and your hidden pain.” It’s for people who have been silently suffering under the heavy weight of anxiety, grief, depression, shame, and spiritual doubt. Through this book, she helps the reader discover how near God is to them through their toughest trials in life. God doesn’t abandon you in the valley lows. He’s with you through it all. And He can heal our brokenness. The author invites the reader to stop pretending they are okay when they are not, face the pain you’ve been hiding, and learn how you are seen by the Almighty God as one He deeply loves. Dominique encourages the reader to remember that even when God is silent, He is near and will not leave you. After reading the first few pages of Dominique’s book, I thanked God for answering my prayers on this topic because it was like He was speaking to me through her messages that were supported with Scripture. I am grateful He used this author’s debut book to encourage me in my faith walk. I believe this book will encourage you, too, if you read it. In closing, I’d like for you to listen to three songs (listed below) that remind us God is here with us and He’s going to stay with us until the end of the world. Song of Reflection #1: “God is with Us” by The Afters. Listen to it HERE. Song of Reflection #2: “I Know You’re There” by Casting Crowns. Listen to it HERE. Song of Reflection #3: “When You Walk Through the Water” by Allison Durham. Listen to it HERE.

We dive into the intriguing question of where Jesus is in the biblical story so far. While Jesus may not be explicitly named, we explore how he is described and the context surrounding his coming. Through promises, such as defeating evil, blessing nations, and ruling in an everlasting kingdom, the Bible builds anticipation for the arrival of the promised Seed. We uncover the significance of various pictures in the story, such as the Passover Lamb, the Tabernacle, and the Temple which provide further understanding of the Seed's purpose. Finally, we discover the role of faith in righteousness and the anticipation for Jesus as the solution to humanity's problems.Bible ReadingsPsalm 1:1-6Psalm 2:1-12Psalm 145:1-21Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

What if joy isn't something you chase—but something you receive? In this Advent message, Pastor Aaron McRae explores the deep, lasting joy that Jesus brings—a joy that is often unexpected, received by faith, and anchored in eternity.Drawing from Luke 2 and the Christmas story, this message reframes joy beyond temporary happiness, success, or comfort. Pastor Aaron contrasts the world's pursuit of happiness with the biblical invitation to joy—one that meets us in brokenness, suffering, uncertainty, and fear. From the unlikely joy announced to shepherds, to reflections from thinkers like C.S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and modern neuroscience, this message shows how true joy is not circumstantial, but relational.This sermon speaks directly to those navigating stress, grief, anxiety, financial pressure, health challenges, or spiritual dryness. It reminds us that Jesus came not only to save what is lost, but to heal what is broken—and His joy is available here and now, regardless of circumstances.If you are searching for meaning beyond happiness, longing for hope this Christmas season, or wondering where to anchor your joy, this message will help you make room for the lasting joy found only in Jesus.Scriptures ReferencedLuke 2:1–14Psalm 16:11Psalm 51:12Galatians 5:22Philippians 4:4–6Psalm 119:14Romans 15:13Hebrews 12:2Resources & References MentionedArthur Brooks — Leadership and Happiness (Harvard Business School)Dietrich Bonhoeffer — Conspiracy and ImprisonmentC.S.

In celebration of the release of The Way of the Wildflower (now available wherever books are sold), tune in to this episode where Ruth shares a sneak peek of it as she reads meditation #11. Scripture referenced:Proverbs 3:5-6Psalm 139:1John 10James 1:5 Resources mentioned:The Way of the Wildflower by Ruth Chou Simons

Psalm 96 WorksheetNKJV heading – A song of praise to God coming in judgment.I prefer to summarize Psalm 96 with “Come and worship; ____________ and tell!”As I read Psalm 96 look for words repeated at least 3 times as I read the text. Also consider whether those repeated words help us with an outline. One interesting thing about this Psalm is that much of what it contains was the second part of an earlier song written by _________________________ for Asaph to have the people sing (1 Chronicles 16:23ff). Psalm 105 mirrors the first part. On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the LORD. -1 Chronicles 16:7The ____________________ to sing to the Lord Verses 1-3A lot of people seem to resent the fact that the Bible presents Israel as God's chosen people. But don't forget that in the Bible Israel was blessed to be a blessing to the ___________________ world (Gen. 12:1-3).Romans 9:1-5Remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. -Romans 11:18Verses 2-3 reminds us of two of the greatest themes of the Bible: that God will get the ________________ He deserves and the good news of His salvation available to humble sinners.According to verse 3, who are we who know the Lord to declare the glory and wonders of God to? _________________ peoples! “Missions is not the main purpose of the church – worship is; Missions exist because worship does not!” -John PiperAnd they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of EVERY tribe and tongue and people and nation, and have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on earth.” -The saints in Heaven in Revelation 5:9-10 The _______________________ we sing V. 4-6Psalm 96 repeats the pattern from Psalm 95 – “Come, Sing, For…” Remember that the word for feared can also be translated reverenced. Those who love God and submit to His ____________________________ over them build their life around worshipful ‘reverence' of the Lord. Those who don't should be fearful of the coming judgment (verse 13).We do well to meditate on the characteristics of God.The call to ___________________ serve the Lord V. 7-10What is the chief end (main purpose) of man?To _______________________ God and enjoy Him forever! 5 G LivingNotice there is no sense of “have to” for the Psalmist; He “_________________ to” serve the Lord and declare His greatness to others. That's a great example for us! Levels of motivation to serve God:LoveHopeFaithGratitudeGuiltObligationFear Let all creation celebrate the Lord and _______________________ His coming V. 11-13Verse 13 states a message for the world:There is a God who created and sustains the worldHe is coming to the earth to rule over itHe will ________________ the world with fairness in the end times.

How do you struggle to let Jesus lead your Christian business? This was the first of four questions I asked in my social media survey to understand how Christian women in business navigate success with Jesus in the lead. It was eye-opening to hear from 100 women who willingly bared their souls in talking about their challenges and desires in letting Jesus lead. Their responses fell into five categories: Trusting Him.Surrendering to His will over their own.Understanding if they hear His voice (and believe it)Allowing His timing over their own.Finding self-worth in Him, not their productivity or achievements. This is the first of 3 episodes sharing the data from the survey, and I'm betting their responses resonate with you, my dear sister in Christ! Listen in and see what speaks to you. Then, consider joining the fall cohort of the Navigating Success with Jesus Masterclass which addresses how to let Jesus in the real life of your business!

God desires His truth to reside in our "innermost being."  I hope that's your desire as well.However, there's one big obstacle to His truth reigning in our heart / our innermost being. What is that obstacle? It's us! God doesn't play second fiddle, and we're already occupying the throne of our heart. For God and His truth to reign in our hearts, we've got to abandon the preeminent place on that throne.Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to a more.Scripture Used in Today's MessagePsalm 51:6Psalm 119:711 Peter 4:1-2Galatians 2:20To find Scripture Songs, here are a couple of sources to check out.Jim Snedeker who wrote many of these songshttps://soundcloud.com/jim-snedekerDave Cook / Scripture Release was also an early writer of Scripture Songshttps://scripturerelease.com/Gator Christian Life in Gainesville, Florida has recorded oldies and continues to write new oneshttps://gatorchristianlife.com/resources/followingIf 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 experiences.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.

Do you connect emotionally with God's word? Some believers don't, and sometimes we don't even think we're supposed to connect emotionally with the Scripture. After all, God's word is true, and since what's true is true, we wouldn't want to let our emotions get in the way of faithful obedience. But while we don't want to be ruled by our emotions, I contend that if we never connect emotionally with the Word, we'll never truly get it into our innermost being. Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to a more.Scripture Used in Today's MessagePsalm 51:6Psalm 119:2, 47, 50, 97, 114, 131, 136, 139, 161, 163, 165To find Scripture Songs, here are a couple of sources to check out.Jim Snedeker who wrote many of these songshttps://soundcloud.com/jim-snedekerDave Cook / Scripture Release was also an early writer of Scripture Songshttps://scripturerelease.com/Gator Christian Life in Gainesville, Florida has recorded oldies and continues to write new oneshttps://gatorchristianlife.com/resources/followingIf 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 experiences.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.

From the early days of my stroke recovery, home—and all the rituals of home—have been a major part of my healing. Home has looked a lot of ways over the years, but my family and I have always tried to make it a place of comfort, rest, and connection. If you're on a journey to finding a “new normal,” I cannot overstate the importance of making your home into a place of healing.So how do we do that exactly? Today I'm joined by Phylicia Masonheimer, who believes in the power our homes have in forming us and ministering to others. We're talking through the big and small ways that any home can be a place of soul-deep rest and renewal.Phylicia is a mom and wife, bestselling author, Bible teacher, and the founder of Every Woman a Theologian. Her work is all about helping Christian women understand, live out, and communicate their faith with clarity and grace. I took away so much from our conversation.

How was the serpent able to deceive Eve into eating the forbidden fruit?She had everything, and yet Satan convinced her God was withholding something from her. If she could fall for Satan's lie, certainly we are vulnerable as well.
