Ever feel like you have to earn your place with God? Scripture says otherwise.This week we discover that, in Christ, we are adopted...wanted, named, and given full rights as sons and daughters. In Paul's world, adoption meant a new family name and secure inheritance; in God's family it means freedom from fear. The Spirit Himself whispers “Abba” to our hearts, silencing the old orphan reflexes of performing, hiding, and comparing. Today is identity before activity: receive the Father's welcome, declare who you are in Christ, and live like secure family who can boldly love and invite others to the table.

Where is your life heading? Is it a path that leads to abundant life, or are you being deceived? The Word of God warns us that “wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction” (Matthew 7:13, NKJV). But there is one way—and only one way—to escape that destruction: His name is JESUS CHRIST.In God's Kingdom, there are no exceptions. His love, His grace, and His calling reach everyone without distinction. He shows no partiality, and each of us is invited to come boldly into His presence.

 Please hear this famous song by ABBA after the divorce of one couple. And the looser loses it all?When I was 10 years old I started skiing and saw the great teachers skiing straight down a very steep mountain with the legs closed … I admired them and wanted to become the same…With 21, we skied quite well and my twin brother had the fancy idea to ski down the most dangerous piste, - Langkofel Scharte… I said you are insane,… I don't so so…Tricky as he was, he said I don't care I do it in any case… The next day he said, there is a beautiful other piste and we with our friends, all medical students, agreed… And it was so dammed steep, it was the second most dangerous piste,- Podair Scharte…,It was so steep, I scared and then I abused my twin-brother…How to come down… ?I tried it slowly and then I decided it is too dangerous … I went straight down with high speed and with all of my techniques, it was doable… Then I waited for a half-hour for my friends and brother.5 years later, I joined the University Bremen Skiing and I was even better skiing than the ski instructors…Nothing was too difficult… But I got severe knee problems with my Kamikaze skiing …  And the winner takes it all?   All wanted me as a Ski instructor, I took the beginners and the most advanced.I taught my skiing, first learn to fall, second get rid of your fear…Other groups saw me instructing and I got 3 offers to teach the whole wintertime,I became the darling of the girls… All that I wanted and the nights were exciting… But I had to go to the orthopedic doctor, luckily I found one of the best, - from Werder Bremen the orthopedic doctor…The diagnoses were devastating, Skiing and Mountain climbing was over…The winner takes it all?That I smile without to have to win (Konstantin Wecker).And then I started with meditation… The looser takes its all!It is just so over stupid to ski like a mad man to go “in the flow” (meditation state for athletes), to be totally relaxed without any thoughts… If you have one thought when you ski with the high speed you will fall … And this I have done a lot… 2 times my skies broke but never my bones. If you learn to relax with meditation or dancing, you can go beyond the “flow state” in a bliss and love state and this is far better and even for a long time without needing any equipment! You can have it right now… And the girls love to be together with a guy who is meditating… Just go to a meditation or dance courses …80% are women and are even very attractive!Skiing is just stupid…My Video: Episode 9 The winner takes it all https://youtu.be/QTTmnzc8f0cMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/Episode-9-The-winner-takes-it-all.mp3

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover the indictment of James Comey, a national DOJ investigation into George Soros, Pete Hegseth's extraordinary call for all generals to return to Virginia, Trump's warning to Democrats about pushing conservatives too far, and headline updates on tariffs, green energy, AI, and global flashpoints. Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend.   James Comey Indicted: The former FBI director faces charges of false statements and obstruction of justice. Trump pushed prosecutors to act before the statute of limitations expired, insisting Comey's role in Crossfire Hurricane was “a coup” against the elected government. Bryan argued, “James Comey deserves the death penalty… it would be a righteous and correct judgment.”   DOJ Targets Soros's Open Society Foundations: At least seven U.S. attorneys will probe Soros funding networks for alleged terrorism support, arson, fraud, and racketeering. Bryan compares the crackdown to federal efforts in the 1960s and 70s against the Weather Underground.   Pentagon Showdown Next Week: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned every U.S. general and admiral worldwide to a meeting in Virginia as Trump demands a 20 percent cut in four-star officers. Politico reports many senior leaders are unhappy with the rebrand to the Department of War.   Trump Warns Democrats on Violence: After MSNBC and the John Brown Gun Club suggested ICE agents “deserved” recent attacks, Trump warned, “The Left better not get the Right energized because it won't be good for the Left.”   Turning Point Rejects Kimmel's ‘Apology': Spokesman Andrew Kolve said, “What we need is, ‘I'm sorry, I lied, I was wrong, and I won't do it again.' Otherwise… his political agenda is more important than the life of my friend who was just taken from us.”   Dallas Shooter Update: The killer searched “Charlie Kirk shot video” while planning his ICE attack, suggesting a copycat killing. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed he used Democrat-developed tracking apps to stalk ICE agents.   NYC Worker Punished for Helping ICE: A city staffer was retrained after reporting two criminal illegals to ICE, violating sanctuary laws that protect even convicted felons from deportation. Bryan called it “diabolical.” Tariff Cheaters and Whirlpool's Complaint: Appliance makers are under DOJ investigation for undervaluing imports to dodge tariffs, costing U.S. producers.   Green Energy Failures: California's $2.2 billion Ivanpah solar farm is shutting down after killing 6,000 birds annually. Bryan added, “That's wonderful news for the birds.”   AI Revolution Goes Federal: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot is now the U.S. government's official AI system, including for secret agencies, despite studies showing AI is unreliable and prone to lying.   Global Watch for the Weekend: Farmers furious at Argentina selling soybeans to China, European leaders ready to shoot down Russian aircraft, Britain exploring digital IDs, Tony Blair offering to run Gaza, and new medical studies on obesity, eye health, and aging.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: James Comey indictment Crossfire Hurricane, Trump DOJ Lindsey Halligan Erik Seibert, Comey Steele Dossier coup, DOJ Soros Open Society terrorism probe, Pete Hegseth Pentagon generals meeting, Trump warning Democrats violence ICE, John Brown Gun Club Hey Fascist Catch, Turning Point rejects Jimmy Kimmel apology, Dallas ICE shooter Charlie Kirk copycat, Kash Patel ICE tracking apps, NYC sanctuary laws ICE prisons, Whirlpool tariff cheating DOJ, Ivanpah solar farm shutdown bird deaths, Elon Musk Grok chatbot federal contract, Sam Altman AI smarter than humans, Argentina soybeans China, Europe NATO Russian jets, UK digital ID program, Tony Blair Gaza Strip, Greta Thunberg Gaza flotilla hacked ABBA

Who Is the Holy Spirit? • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give The Holy Spirit is not a vague influence or an optional topic in Christianity. He is God Himself—personal, powerful, and present. Many believers struggle to understand who the Spirit is, yet He is the One who makes Christ real in us. Without Him, our faith becomes mechanical and powerless; with Him, it becomes alive and victorious. Let's look at 10 truths about who the Holy Spirit is, with Scripture and clear explanation. 1. The Holy Spirit Is God Acts 5:3–4 (NKJV): But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” 2. The Holy Spirit Is a Person Ephesians 4:30 (NKJV): And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 3. The Holy Spirit Is Our Helper John 14:26 (NKJV): But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 4. The Holy Spirit Is the Spirit of Truth John 16:13 (NKJV): However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 5. The Holy Spirit Is the Empowerer Acts 1:8 (NKJV): But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 6. The Holy Spirit Is the Sanctifier Romans 15:16 (NKJV): …that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 7. The Holy Spirit Is the Teacher 1 Corinthians 2:13 (NKJV): These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 8. The Holy Spirit Is the Giver of Gifts 1 Corinthians 12:7–11 (NKJV): But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. 9. The Holy Spirit Is the Spirit of Adoption Romans 8:15–16 (NKJV): For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. 10. The Holy Spirit Is the Spirit of Revival Joel 2:28 (NKJV): “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” The Holy Spirit is God Himself—personal, present, and powerful. He comforts, teaches, empowers, sanctifies, and equips us. He makes the Christian life not just possible but victorious. As Galatians 5:25 (NKJV) says: “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” To know the Spirit is to know God. To walk with the Spirit is to walk in step with heaven. CCLI: 21943673

Romans 8:9-17   9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.   John 14:25-27   25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Swedish-born Alicia Vikander won global acclaim in 2015 for playing Vera Britten in Testament Of Youth, and a humanoid robot in the thriller Ex-Machina. The following year she won an Academy Award for her supporting role with Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl, along with a Screen Actors Guild Award and BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations. Since then her diverse range of screen roles have included playing a spy boss in the film Jason Bourne, computer game heroine Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, and Gloria Steinem in the biopic The Glorias. The daughter of acclaimed stage actor Maria Fahl, she tells John Wilson how she first performed on stage at the age of seven in a musical written by Benny and Bjorn of ABBA. She also appeared in Swedish television dramas and films as a child actor. In 2025 Alicia Vikander makes her return to the stage in a new version of Ibsen's The Lady From The Sea at The Bridge in London, her first theatre role since she was a child. Producer: Edwina Pitman

In this episode, we discuss fake people. No, not people who pretend to be somebody they're not, but true fake people and their potential use in UX research. AI-powered participants? AI researchers? There are companies creating these fake participants for usage in product and market research, and we discuss the pros and cons. Then we contemplate other use cases for fake people, and Oprah and ABBA become involved. In Condensed Soup, we tell the one thing we would want our own fake double to carry out.

Romans 8:9-17 reveals that our truest identity is not self-made but given through the Spirit of adoption, who frees us from slavery and fear and anchors us as beloved children of God. Though the world pressures us to define ourselves by achievement, rebellion, or belonging to others, Scripture shows that we are not our own—we are named and claimed by the Father. Through Christ, we are brought from orphanhood into the family of God, and the Spirit Himself bears witness within us that we are sons and daughters, heirs with Christ. This identity anchors us against the world's lies, empowers us to put sin to death, and calls us to live with the security, confidence, and joy of children who cry out, “Abba, Father.”

Comme toujours, nous commencerons notre émission par une discussion sur l'actualité. Le sujet de notre première discussion porte sur le changement de nom du ministère américain de la Défense, qui va devenir le « ministère de la Guerre ». Nous aborderons ensuite un différend historique de longue date entre l'Ukraine et la Pologne, qui a été réglé entre les deux pays. Puis, nous nous intéresserons à un document rédigé à l'intention du ministère américain de l'Énergie par 85 climatologues en réponse au rapport sur le changement climatique produit par l'administration Trump. Et enfin, nous parlerons de la liste des canons culturels du gouvernement suédois, qui comprend 100 œuvres, marques et idées visant à définir l'identité suédoise. Étonnamment, ABBA n'y figure pas.    Notre leçon sera The Imperfect Tense Verbs of the 3rd Group Lesson 3: Verbs ending in eindre, tendre, prendre, and crire. Nous ferons un tour d'horizon des sorties culturelles de la rentrée et nous nous intéresserons particulièrement à deux expositions sur des peintres français de renom : Georges de La Tour et Kandinsky. Pour terminer, nous verrons comment utiliser l'expression de la semaine : Être à cheval sur quelque chose. Le rapport annuel de l'OCDE publié mardi met à jour les caractéristiques du système éducatif français, qui a ses points forts et ses faibles. Mais que retenir de ce rapport ? - Trump rebaptise le ministère de la Défense « ministère de la Guerre » - L'Ukraine et la Pologne tentent de régler un différend datant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale - Les climatologues critiquent le rapport sur le climat de l'administration Trump - Les canons culturels nationalistes et réducteurs du gouvernement suédois - Les expositions de l'automne à ne pas manquer en France - Un rapport de l'OCDE révèle les caractéristiques de l'école en France

Comenzaremos el programa discutiendo la actualidad. El tema de la primera discusión trata sobre el cambio de nombre del Departamento de Defensa de EE. UU. a “Departamento de la Guerra”. Continuaremos con una larga y enconada disputa histórica entre Ucrania y Polonia que fue resuelta entre los dos países. La siguiente noticia es sobre un documento enviado al Departamento de Energía de EE. UU. por 85 científicos del clima, en respuesta al informe sobre el cambio climático elaborado por la Administración Trump. Y, para acabar, hablaremos del canon cultural del Gobierno sueco, que consiste en 100 obras, marcas e ideas que ayudan a definir la identidad sueca. Sorprendentemente, el grupo ABBA no fue incluido en la lista. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. En ambas conversaciones viajaremos al siglo XVI. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, General Use of prepositions Por and Para - Overview. En esta conversación hablaremos de los matrimonios reales en la España del siglo XVI. Los enlaces matrimoniales se utilizaban para forjar alianzas políticas, asegurar la sucesión al trono y consolidar el linaje. ¡Los príncipes y princesas nunca se casaban por amor! Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Al pan, pan y al vino, vino. La usaremos para hablar de San Lorenzo de El Escorial, el mausoleo real de los padres del rey Felipe II, construido en el último tercio del siglo XVI. Esta edificación está considerada como la octava Maravilla del Mundo, y en 1984 fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco. Expressions: Al pan, pan y al vino, vino — to call a spade a spade   Trump vuelve a cambiar el Departamento de Defensa a Departamento de la Guerra Ucrania y Polonia intentan resolver una disputa de la Segunda Guerra Mundial Los científicos del clima critican el informe climático de la Administración Trump El canon cultural del Gobierno sueco, calificado de nacionalista y excluyente Matrimonios reales en la España del siglo XVI Al pan, pan y al vino, vino — to call a spade a spade

The music industry is reeling due to what's being called the 'largest intellectual property theft in history' — we'll dig into the fight between Big Tech and the people who make the music. Meanwhile, Sweden's new cultural canon has people fuming — not least because it leaves out ABBA. We'll also hear from Der Spiegel's Gunter Latsch about his chilling investigation into the shadowy world of organ trafficking. And we'll finish, as always, with something a little lighter: archaeologists in Denmark have been uncovering a kind of Stone Age Atlantis beneath the sea and they've been using a funky underwater vacuum to do so.

Episode Summary: If you’ve ever struggled with discouragement, and we all have because life is full of disappointment and disillusionment, then this episode is for you. In honor of National Day of Encouragement, my co-host, Rev. Jessica Van Roekel and I talk about How to Find Biblical Encouragement for Your Everyday Life. Discouragement can rob us of joy, peace, and a sense of purpose. Encouragement is more than a feeling - it’s a powerful tool to propel us toward hope and confidence even when life feels less than happy. Today we’re going to talk about how to find biblical encouragement for your everyday life. Quotables from the episode: In 2007, a group of young people at the National Leadership Forum at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas saw a lack of encouragement as one of the main obstacles that people face. While dedicating a day to encourage others is noble, we can experience encouragement every day when we turn to the Lord and receive his encouragement. The challenge to receive biblical encouragement is when we know God’s promises but don’t see him working. This topic is close to my heart because I’ve seen firsthand how knowing God, and his promises have encouraged me in the face of difficult and seemingly unchanging circumstances. I know many of our listeners and viewers struggle with discouragement, and my prayer is that today’s conversation will bring encouragement and hope. Knowing God’s names helps us learn to trust him. When we trust him, it’s easier to experience encouragement in our every day. Psalm 9:10 says, Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. Relationships are an area where we can experience extreme discouragement. Personality differences can create division. Unforgiveness leads to rifts. It can feel discouraging to desire a healing in a relationship, but every effort is rejected. We’ve talked about the temptation to judge God’s goodness based on humanity’s failures. If our in-person relationships are broken, and we don’t have a vibrant or growing relationship with God, we grow discouraged because we were made for relationship. Friend, if you’ve found yourself in a place of discouragement—especially when you're facing relationship struggles—you are not alone. As a neuropsychologist, I’ve seen how deeply our relationships impact not only our emotional well-being but also our brain health. God designed our brains for connection. We were created in His image, a God who is relational by nature, and He wired us for fellowship—with Him and with each other. When our relationships are strained, whether due to misunderstanding, unmet expectations, betrayal, or emotional distance, our brains register it as a threat. That triggers our stress response—what we often call “fight, flight, or freeze.” Over time, if that stress continues unchecked, it leads to anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, and a foggy, overwhelmed mind. Our thought life becomes a battlefield, and discouragement sets in. But here's the hope: God doesn’t leave us to navigate this alone. He sees every tear, hears every unspoken word, and knows the condition of our hearts and minds. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Our healing begins when we bring both our brain health and our relational wounds to the Great Physician. Practical steps include tending to your thought life—taking every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), practicing forgiveness to unburden your heart, and choosing truth over lies. Sometimes that means setting healthy boundaries or seeking wise counsel. And always, it means leaning into the One who offers peace that transcends understanding. Your brain can heal. Your heart can mend. And your relationships can be restored—if not with others, then certainly with the Lord, who is the source of all true comfort and strength. Discouragement may visit, but it doesn’t have to take up permanent residence. Knowing God as Abba leads us to know God as a wonderful Father. (Galatians 4:6) He is the Alpha and Omega – Jesus was in the beginning as the Word of God and he is God’s final word for all eternity. (Revelation 21:6) As Adonai, we recognize his leadership in our life. He is our Lord and Ruler. (Ezekiel 16:8) El Chay, or Living God, reminds us that the entertainments, enticements, and other distractions are not worthy of worship. (Psalm 84:2) El Roi, The God Who Sees, encourages us with God’s mercy, grace, and comfort. We are not invisible to him. (Genesis 16:13) Jehovah-Jireh, The Lord our Provider, tells us God is our provider, and it is the same Hebrew word as Moriah, the region where God sent Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. God may ask us to give something up, and he gives us himself in return, and becomes all we need. (Romans 8:32) Jehovah-Nissi, The Lord Our Banner, paints the picture that we live under God’s banner. It was the name revealed when Moses erected an altar to commemorate the defeat of their enemies. It encourages us that we live under God’s victory. He goes before us and comes behind us to make us victors in life’s battles. (Exodus 17:15) The Lord Our Healer, or Jehovah-Rapha, encourages us because God heals our hearts in the here and now. (Exodus 15:26) The Lord is Peace, Jehovah-Shalom, our security, sufficiency, and serenity. (Judges 6:24) Jehovah-Tsuri, the Lord our Rock, helps us remember God is permanent, faithful, protective, a firm foundation, a hiding place and shelter. (Psalm 18:2) Knowing the names of God gives us insight into his character, which encourages us when we face different situations where we need to rely on a different aspect of God’s character. For example, if someone feels discouraged because of life’s chaos, remembering God is Jehovah Shalom encourages their heart because God is their serenity. God is a covenant making and covenant keeping God. The primary promise of the covenant is the Lord’s promise to “be God to you and to your offspring after you.” The goal of God’s covenant with humankind is to bring salvation, not just to one nation, but to the entire human race. This covenant was eventually fulfilled through Jesus Christ as his followers began to spread the good news about him throughout the world. God made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Israelite nation, David, and finally the whole world through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Covenants, or promises, are conditional because they are based on the agreements of two parties. God cannot go back on his promises, but we can refuse the comfort of the promises when we fail to take God at his word and allow doubt to lead us to sin. Because of God’s covenants, we have promises like the promise of his presence. Isaiah 41:10 says, “Do not be afraid for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” (NLT) Deuteronomy 31:8, “‘Do not be afraid of discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (NLT) Isaiah 43:2, “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Joshua 1:19, “This is my command – be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Those are wonderful reminders of God presence. I know I’ve needed to believe them by faith because sometimes what I see, and what I feel don’t match up with what I know to be true. I also cling to the promise of Victory found in: John 16:33, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” Exodus 14:14, “The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, “Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, persecutions, and troubles I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Isaiah 40:29, “He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.” God promises to guide us: Psalm 32:8, “The Lord says, I will guide along the best pathway for your life. I will advise and watch over you. Psalm 37:23-24, “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 23:1-2, ‘The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. Not only does God promise us his presence, victory, and guidance, but he also promises rest, life, peace, and forgiveness: Rest: Matthew 11:28-29, “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Life: John 3:16, “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” Peace: Isaiah 26:3, ‘You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you.” Forgiveness: 1 John 1:9, “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleans us from all wickedness.” Our faith grows when we plant our feet on God’s promises. (Psalm 34:18) He is close to the broken hearted and rescues those who are crushed in spirit. (2 Cor. 4:8-9) We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. (Isaiah 54:17) “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD. I think it starts with looking at the end of Hebrews 11, knowing the stories of those who have gone before us, remembering the past so we can encourage ourselves in the present and build hope for the future. Hebrews 11 opens with this verse: Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. The next several verses list people who lived by faith and received what God promised and those who died without receiving things promised and yet, they are commended for having faith. It’s faith in the promise maker which matters. Looking at our circumstances for “proof” of God keeping his promises leads to disappointment. Remember, faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Sometimes, we need to cling to other’s people’s stories when our stories are littered with doubt and disappointment. One story which encourages me when I am feeling discouraged is Mary, Martha and Lazarus when Lazarus became ill and died. That story reminds me that things are not always as they seem, but God always has a plan and he sees the end from the beginning. he bible is full of encouragement and doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulties people of faith faced. If Job can lose his entire fortune, family and health and still remain faithful to God—believing him to faithful and true—then I can look beyond my circumstances and see that God is bigger than what’s right in front of me. I can take the magnifying glass off of the things in my life that discourage me and point my magnifying glass to the God who breathes stars and breath in my lungs. I am encouraged by Abraham, when he looked the impossibility of his reality (too old to have children) and yet remained believing that God would fulfill his promise. I’ve been in situations where I couldn’t see a way forward and following Abraham’s example encourages me so much. Knowing God intimately is a great first step toward experiencing biblical encouragement. Understanding his heart and loyalty toward us is key. Second, we can remember to look beyond what we see to what we know to be true. Sometimes feelings follow an act of faith. Take Hebrews 11 to heart.

Wie immer beginnen wir unser Programm mit einem Rückblick auf einige aktuelle Ereignisse. Das Thema unserer ersten Diskussion ist die Umbenennung des US-Verteidigungsministeriums in „Kriegsministerium“. Anschließend sprechen wir über einen seit langem bestehenden historischen Streit zwischen der Ukraine und Polen, der nun endlich beigelegt wird. Danach geht es um ein Dokument, das von 85 Klimawissenschaftlern als Reaktion auf den Klimawandel-Bericht der Trump-Regierung verfasst wurde. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über den Kulturkanon der schwedischen Regierung, der aus 100 Werken, Marken und Ideen besteht, die die schwedische Identität definieren sollen. Überraschenderweise hat es ABBA nicht auf die Liste geschafft. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Coordinating Conjunctions. Wir sprechen über den Schrebergarten. Das ist ein kleines Stück Land, dass man in Deutschland pachten kann, um Obst und Gemüse anzubauen und sich eine Auszeit vom städtischen Trubel zu gönnen. Für einige ist der Schrebergarten eine persönliche Oase, für andere der Inbegriff von Spießigkeit. (Pause, Themawechsel) Wenn man eigene Hühner und täglich frische Eier haben will, gibt es viel zu beachten. Jeder sollte sich über die Anfangskosten und Unterhaltskosten im Klaren sein. Auf jeden Fall muss man von zäher Natur sein, und genau das ist die Redewendung dieser Woche.
