One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to Daily Radio Bible for March 13th, 2025! In today's episode, Hunter guides us through day 73 of our journey in the scriptures, inviting us to gather with brothers and sisters from around the globe and warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. We read through Deuteronomy chapters 22–24 and conclude with Galatians 4, reflecting on the demands of the Law and the liberating grace found in Christ. Together, we'll explore themes of justice, compassion, and responsibility—from caring for neighbors and strangers, to the hard truths of Deuteronomy and the freeing message in Paul's letter to the Galatians. Hunter encourages us to set aside legalism, embrace our adoption as God's children, and rejoice in the freedom and forgiveness given to us. We'll finish with heartfelt prayers, a reminder of the importance of community, and gratitude for the partners who make this podcast possible. So take a moment to pause, join in the journey, and let the message of God's love and joy renew your spirit today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Set Free Many of us have not been free, and many of us have been sentimental legalists. You know, we flatter ourselves and think that we are better and more righteous than we really are. And that's why Paul says in verse 21, "Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says?" And the answer to that question would be no. The demands of the Law are impossible. It is downright hard to read sometimes. Breaking the Law warrants death. And if you want to get sobered up to the demands of the Law and the judgment due us because of it, you do not have to go much further than our reading in Deuteronomy today. So, let us do our best to ditch that sentimental, self-righteous fantasy that we are somehow able to pull this thing off, because we're not. Holiness is so far out of reach of my flesh that I'd sooner turn into a unicorn than a saint if it were up to my effort to be holy. But thanks be to God, the right standing that I couldn't achieve has been achieved and purchased for me. By the one and only man, Christ Jesus himself. He did achieve this spotless life. His sacrifice of death for people like you and me has not only set us free from the penalty of sin, but he has given us his Spirit so that we can live this life now in him. He has made us his children. We've been adopted. This whole glorious transaction creates a new desire within us and a new cry within us that says, "Abba, Father! Father, you, not I." There is new life and there is real freedom. But don't be fooled into sentimental, legalistic, powerless living. Instead, embrace your sonship. Wake up to the power that now resides in you, the Holy Spirit. Rejoice daily that you are forgiven, that you've been made holy. There's nothing that you've done to achieve that. Allow your eyes to be drawn to the glorious grace that has been given to you in Christ. There's only one glorious man who lived the righteous life, and he lived it for all of us in order that we all might be found in him. The Christian life is impossible apart from Christ, but in Christ, all things are possible. So let's live free today. Let's live in him today, because that is where we are. And the prayer of my own heart is that I will see it. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Because Jesus brings us with him into his prayer of submission, we must entrust our honest desires to the Father rather than withholding them or insisting on our own way. Mark 14:32–36 (ESV): 32 And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.” 35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

Come journey with me to the cosmos and engage Yahweh

In this powerful teaching, Prophet Robin-Huws Barnes explores the biblical revelation of God's names and how they progressively reveal His nature and character. From Elohim in creation to Yahweh, El Shaddai, El Elyon, and others, Scripture shows that every encounter with God unveils a different dimension of who He is. However, the ultimate revelation comes through Jesus Christ, who reveals God not merely as a distant divine being, but as “Abba Father.” Understanding these names helps believers grasp the mind of Christ concerning God and deepens our relationship with Him. Each name reveals a dimension of God's character—His power, provision, healing, faithfulness, and closeness to His people. Ultimately, Jesus brings the greatest revelation: God is our Father, inviting us into intimacy, identity, and inheritance as His children.   Key Teaching Points 1. Jesus Came to Reveal the Father The foundation of Jesus' life, ministry, and identity was His relationship with the Father. To understand the mind of Christ, believers must understand how Jesus relates to God as Father. Christ reveals the true nature of God beyond religious concepts. 2. God Revealed Himself Progressively Through His Names In the Old Testament, God revealed aspects of His nature through different names. Elohim – The Supreme Creator Refers to God as the mighty divine being and creator. Though the term could refer to divine beings, God is the Elohim above all Elohim. Scripture: Genesis 1:1 Yahweh – The Self-Existent One Revealed to Moses at the burning bush. Means “I Am Who I Am.” Shows that God is: Self-existent Eternal Covenantally faithful Personally involved with His people. Scripture: Exodus 3:14-15 El Elyon – God Most High Revealed after Abraham's victory over multiple kings. Shows God as the supreme authority who grants victory. Scripture: Genesis 14:18-20 El Shaddai – God Almighty Revealed when God made covenant with Abraham. Emphasizes God's power to fulfil His promises and sustain His covenant. Scripture: Genesis 17:1-4 El Olam – The Everlasting God Declares God's eternal and unchanging nature. Scripture: Genesis 21:33 El Roi – The God Who Sees Revealed to Hagar in the wilderness. Shows that God sees the suffering and needs of His people. Scripture: Genesis 16:13 Yahweh Jireh – The Lord Will Provide Revealed when God provided a ram for Abraham instead of Isaac. God provides because He sees the need. Scripture: Genesis 22:13-14 Yahweh Rapha – The Lord Who Heals Revealed to Israel after leaving Egypt. Healing was connected to covenant obedience and divine health. Scripture: Exodus 15:26 Yahweh Nissi – The Lord My Banner Revealed during Israel's battle with Amalek. God is the banner of victory over His people. Scripture: Exodus 17:15 Core Revelation: God as Abba Father While the Old Testament revealed many dimensions of God, Jesus revealed the greatest truth — God is Father. “Abba” expresses: Intimacy Relationship Trust Identity as children of God Through Christ, believers move from simply knowing God by titles to experiencing Him as a loving Father.

Romans 8:14-17For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

Onkuntíð heldur tú teg vera í tónleikaheiminum hjá ABBA, aðrar løtur á ferð við CHESS. Soleiðis er henda Tema- og frumpláta hjá Gemini frá '85, ið systkini Karin og Anders Glenmark sungu. Kendasta lagið er 'Another You, Another Me'. Hesin temaplátutáttur er eisini ein minnissending um Karin Glenmark, sum doyði í oktober 2025. Hon var eina av Chess-sangaranum og saman við bróðrinum, Anders Glenmark, stovnaði hon duettbólkin Gemini, hvørs frum- og sjálvheitisútgáva, 'Gemini', koma árið eftir Chess-plátuna, har Karin hevði leiklutin sum Svetlana, ið sang frá kórinum á konsertum. Tónleikin til Chess skrivaðu Benny Andersson og Björn Ulvaeus, og teir skrivaðu eisini ein fittan part av hesi Temaplátu, sum teir haraftrat framleiddu saman við Anders Glenmark. Tað var soleiðis, at Björn og Benny høvdu einar 20-25 minuttir av tilfari, sum teir ikki fingu nýtt í samband við sangleikin og útgávuna Chess, og sumt av tí vit hoyra frá hesi temaplátu, var nevniliga avlop frá Chess sangleikinum, umframt Abba avlop. Á Gemini systkina-debutini spæla eisini fleiri av gomlu Abba-tónleikarunum við, eitt nú bassgittaristurin, Rutger Gunnarsson, sáli, og Benny Andersson spælir allar tangentarnar. Haraftrat tók upptøkumaðurin hjá Abba, Michael B. Tretow, tvey av løgunum upp. Hetta nú gott 40 ára gamla verk hava onnur enn eg, verturin, lýst sum dapurt, myrkt, við vónloysi og sorblýdni lagt aftrat. Tó eins og hjá Abba kunnu tekstir vera tungir, samstundis sum lagið er lívligt, okkurt dømi um tað er á Gemini. Talan er um eitt fleirstreingjað og minimalistisk ljóðlandskap, hvørs treytir Benny setti við sínum synthezisara. Sangtekstirnir hjá Bjørn fylgja eisini hasum, tó teir harumframt prógva góðu evnini hjá Bjørn Ulvaes sum orðasmiði. Aftrat Ulvaeus og Andersson skrivaðu Ingela Forsman og Anders Glenmark tilfar til útgávuna. Plátubarrin 7. mars 2026  

And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And [Jesus …] took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. And He said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death.

Living Bold, Not BoundScripture: Romans 8:15 — “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”Romans 8:15 makes something very clear—fear is not your identity, and bondage is not your portion. God did not give you a spirit that chains you to worry or paralyzes you with uncertainty. He gave you the Spirit of adoption. That means you belong.Accept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You. I believe that Jesus is Your Son, who died and rose for my sake. I ask you to forgive me for my sin. I place my trust in You for salvation. I receive you as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, I am forgiven! Amen!"****Congratulations! You are now a child of the most high. John 1:12 says, But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. If you just prayed this prayer to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, I welcome you to the family of God.

Release the ABBA cut! This week we pick back up with our Andor coverage as Paul, Kieran and I tackle the second Ghorman arc which comprises of the episodes 'Messenger', 'Who Are You?' and 'Welcome to the Rebellion'.

Svärds- och yxhugg. Skäggiga barbarer som invaderar de fromma munkarnas heliga kloster. Sommaren 793 kliver vikingen in i den skrivande kristna världens historia. Men var plundringen av Lindisfarne år 793 början på något helt nytt — eller bara ett dramatiskt ögonblick i en förändring som redan pågick? I det här avsnittet dissekerar vi den händelse som ofta pekas ut som startskottet för vikingatiden. Vi följer spåren bakåt genom handel, hallkultur, elitkonkurrens och skeppsteknologi för att förstå varför nordbor plötsligt dyker upp i de europeiska källorna.

Last week, I started talking about the nature of this Gnostic Reformation that I’m describing here. It turns out that the approach to Gnosticism that I am sharing with you here at Gnostic Insights is a reformation of what is understood to be Gnosticism. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode yet, it would be really good for you to start there. Go back and listen to or read the episode called, This Gnostic Reformation. I didn’t read any books about Gnosticism; I actually read the Nag Hammadi itself. I used my own method of discernment, my own model building method called A Simple Explanation to understand what I was reading. We all do that. We all have internal structures that help us to interpret what we understand about the world around us–what we understand about the nature of anything, whether it’s God or people or oneself. I had already previously come up with a very coherent system for understanding the things around me. That’s what I call A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything. That book is available. You can check it out. I’ll put the link here in the transcript. When people say, “My goodness, your Gnosticism is so different than what I have come to understand Gnosticism to be,” that’s because I didn’t take it from secondary sources. I took it from the original sources.  Then of course, Valentinian Gnosticism is an early form of what has come to be called Christianity. Christianity diverged immensely from the original message around the 300's and on up, when the gnostic books were taken out of Orthodoxy. Those folks that are called heresiologists are the people that went around slapping heresy labels on the early Christianity—the early Valentinian Gnosticism. They weeded it out of the official sacred texts that made their way into the New Testament. The main book of the Nag Hammadi that I relate to is called the Tripartite Tractate. I believe it to be the purest form of gnosis. It has very little in the way of mythologies, of extraneous characters, of the names of things and the numbers of things and the astrology of it all. Valentinian Gnosticism from the Tripartite Tractate is unique in that the fallen Aeon is not called Sophia, a female character. In the Sethian mythology, the female character—and by the way, that presupposes that there are genders among the Aeons in the Fullness of God, but that really doesn’t make much sense because there’s no sex. That is not the way that Aeons procreate. Aeons procreate by giving glory to the Father in various combinations, and it’s those various combinations of giving glory that produce amalgamations of those combinations. It’s a logarithmic progression of Aeons. It keeps growing as various Aeons recombine with one another and give glory to the Father and the Son—upstream, as I like to call it. That has nothing to do with gender. It has to do with giving glory to God with your friends and neighbors. See, we have gender because it has to do with procreation, and this is what is causing all of the gender confusion going around now. Differences among us—what we typically call masculine or feminine—these are personality traits. They don’t have to have anything to do with your sex. So the idea that you have to change your physical sex to reconceive of your gender or reconceive of who you are or your personality—this is a false teaching. You are who you are. You are a combination of various Aeons. You are the fruit of those Aeons, and it really has nothing to do with gender. The Father is not a male figure. Barbelo is not the mother. These are gendered identifications, but they are not truly gender because they’re not sexed. Does that make any sense? So last week we talked about the first emanation. In Sethianism, it’s Barbelo, the mother figure, the womb of all, the matrix of divine life. In Valentinian Gnosticism, that first figure is the Son, and in most of the Valentinian texts, the Son is conflated with the Christ. Oh, by the way, Christians get very bent out of shape about calling Christ the Christ. They say, if anybody—and I heard this from a radio preacher not long ago—“If anyone says ‘the'Christ, you know right off they’re not saved. You know right off they’re not Christians, because ‘the' Christ is a made-up figure, whereas Jesus is Christ, and Jesus is the Son of God.” Well, Jesus is a human being, so we know that Jesus is not the originating Son of God, which an ethereal figure. The Son, in Valentinian Christianity, was the immediate self-expression of the Father. The Father emanated the Son, and the Son entirely represents the Father. Jesus is way downstream here, along with the rest of us humans. He was called the perfect human because he expressed the Father and the Son in his human personality. Jesus came to be well downstream, along with the rest of us humans. In Sethianism, the Barbelo, the first expression, isn’t the Savior. She’s the source of the Savior. She’s the mother of Autogenes, whom they call the Christ. In Valentinianism, the Son is the immediate self-expression of the Father. There’s no Barbelo figure, and the Son is the primary mediator of divine knowledge. The Son is fully expressive and representative of the Father, and he stays plugged into the Father—or it stays. It’s difficult when speaking English not to use gendered pronouns, because that’s the way our grammar works. So, forgive me for saying “he” when I speak of the Son or the Father, but “it” just seems so impersonal. And the Son is personal to us. The Son is our Father, our Abba. In Sethianism, Christ, also known as Autogenes, is not the initial revelation of the Father. He’s the restorative agent who repairs the damage caused by the fall of the Aeon. And in Sethianism, the Aeon who fell was a female figure, Sophia. Christ is often paired with Seth, and Seth is a character out of the mythology of Sethianism that is the heavenly archetype of the Gnostic race. Sethianism has distinctions amongst humans. There are the elect and there are those who are not elect. There are those who are called hylic-only, which is material only. And so, if you’re a Sethian Gnostic, you don’t believe that all of the people that you see around here are carriers of divinity. You believe that only Gnostics are carriers of divinity, much like Christians only believe that those who have come forward and professed belief in Jesus Christ are the elect, and they’re the only ones who are saved. Gnostics have the same type of distinction, only they think only the Sethians are those who are saved. And that really doesn’t have to do with Jesus. It has to do with Christ and Seth—that Christ’s role is to descend and rescue the elect, and the elect would be Sethians. Now, in Valentinian Christianity, you don’t have that kind of distinction. Christ is the direct image of the Father. Most of the books of the Nag Hammadi, the Valentinian as well as the Sethian, still identify Sophia as the fallen Aeon; they still have a gendered pleroma of the Fullness of God. This is one of the big, big differences between the Gnosticism that I share with you and these more ancient Gnostic strains of thought. I do not think that Aeons are gendered. It’s an unnecessary step of confusion, the idea of syzygies and marriages and pair bonds. No, that’s not necessary. At least in the Tripartite Tractate, if you read it, nowhere is anything like that mentioned. There’s no gender identification mentioned at all. In Valentinian Christology, [which is what it’s called when you study Christ], outside of the Tripartite Tractate the rest of the books that talk about Christ say that Christ is the direct image of the Father. His incarnation is intentional, therapeutic, and as a teacher, and he brings knowledge of the Father, not merely rescue from the Fall. Christians generally believe that Christ brings knowledge of the Father because he talked about the Father, or he taught—that he’s a pedagogical character. He’s a teacher, but that his actual salvation came from dying on the cross, from death and then overcoming death. He brings everyone who believes in him forward in overcoming death. Now, the Tripartite Tractate doesn’t put it that way. The Tripartite Tractate explains how Christ came not to die and not only to teach, but salvation lies in the very fact that Christ came to Earth in the perfection of the Father. Jesus said, “If you see me, you see the Father. He who loves me loves the Father, and he who loves the Father loves me.” That was Jesus speaking as the embodiment of the Christ. Jesus embodied the Fullness of the Christ in his human body walking around on the Earth, and so he built a bridge between the ethereal plane and the material plane. He brought them back together for the first time since Logos fell out of the pleroma. He brings them back together, and he brings restoration in that manner. There’s another primary difference between Sethian Gnosticism and Valentinian Gnosticism, other than Barbelo being the first emanation or the Son being the first emanation. In Sethianism, Christ’s role is as a cosmic rescuer, and in the Valentinian tradition, he is the revealer of truth and the healer. Sethians tend to think of the world as completely hostile and alien. This material world is a prison. It’s a trap. Everything’s wrong down here.   Now, in the Valentinian system, it is also thought that the world is wrong. It’s fallen, but it is redeemable, and so salvation comes through transformation of what is around us, whereas in the Sethian system, salvation comes by escaping the trap. The goal in Sethianism is to return to Barbelo, and the goal in the Valentinian system is to return to the Father. So, Sethianism is much more apocalyptic. It’s about crashing the world and getting out because there’s nothing good down here. Valentinian is more therapeutic because it believes in transformation through love and spreading the gospel–the good news. That’s what gospel means. The good news of Christ, the good news of the Father, the good news of eternal life beyond materiality. In the Gnostic Reformation that I am proposing here, we can combine somewhat the two schools of thought. This is a bridge Gnosticism between Sethianism, Valentinianism, and Christianity, although churchgoers aren’t going to like any of this, right? Because they’re fine in the system that they believe it to be, and I think that’s okay. If you’re a non-hypocritical Christian who goes to church and prays, and you’re in touch with the Father, and you embody the Christ, that’s great. No problem with that. And did you know that Valentinian Christians were accepted as full Christians for the first 300 years? They were side by side, sitting in the same churches, giving the same prayers, sharing in the same rituals. It was only after the Nicene Council and the takeover by the Catholic Church that Valentinians were excluded from Christianity. So I’m not trying to crash Christianity. I’m only trying to bring a correction to the hypocrisy and misunderstandings of Christianity. Well, we know there’s a ton of hypocrites. I’m an idealist. That’s my nature. So when I discuss these things, it’s in their ideal form. It’s the way they ought to be. It’s the way they’re described. It’s the way they were designed by God and the Aeons. If you take your knowledge from what you see around here in this fallen world, then you have got a very poor idea of what it is. And you may sit in a Christian church, and you may go through the motions of being a cultural Christian. But unless you are in touch with the Father, and unless you are embodying the Christ, you’re taking your guidance from the world. And this is how it is that many people nowadays think they’re doing good, when actually they’re doing bad. And even worse than that, people who say they’re doing good, and they know they’re not doing good, they know they’re doing bad. That’s hypocrisy. That’s what hypocrisy is. So when I describe these systems, or I describe the nature of the Christ, the nature of the body of believers, the nature of love, the nature of the Father, the nature of our aeonic or heavenly home in the pleroma of the Fullness of God, I’m describing it in an idealistic manner, in the way it’s designed to be. And that’s what we aim for. We aim for the ideal. You cannot take your cues from this earthly realm. And make sure that you don’t take your cues from teachers who are themselves fallen and not embodying Christ. In this Gnostic Reformation that I’m sharing with you, the Son is the primal emanation, the direct image of the Father. He stays fully plugged into the Father. He has all of the direct knowledge, wisdom, love, consciousness of the Father–life. While Christ is a later restorative agent, formed through the prayers of the aeons, the Son, and the Logos after Logos returned back to the Fullness. They prayed for help to come to the mess that Logos made down below when he fell. They pray for help to rescue the Demiurge, which is part of Logos—it's his ego. It’s his presenting face. They want the Demiurge to come out of its amnesic state and remember the Father, remember the Fullness, remember Logos, its better half. And when that happens, that is when the big roll-up can occur—when all of the shadows will disappear. Because when the Demiurge comes to awareness, to Self-awareness, as being part of the Logos, as being part of the Son, then all of the shadows that have come out of the Demiurge—all of this material construction—will just vanish. Dissolve like snow, as the old hymn says. There’s nothing in the Nag Hammadi like Armageddon. Christian theology culminates with a great bloody battle called Armageddon, where all the sinners are killed and only the elect remain. And only the elect are up there in heaven then. And that’s why it’s all good, because they killed all the bad people, and they all went to hell, and they’re locked down there in eternal torture. Well, that does not sound like the Father Jesus spoke of. And that doesn’t appear anywhere in the Nag Hammadi. The way we Valentinian Gnostics do battle is not with swords and bullets and fists. We are to do battle with love. We love them. That’s what we’re supposed to do. We demonstrate love. We are called the second order powers. All creatures on the earth are second order powers. The Aeons above are the first order of powers. We are their descendants. We are their children. We are their fruit. And we are called the second order of powers. We were sent here to remind the Demiurge of love and life and consciousness. See, the Aeons and the Logos–this was their plan. They cooked it up. We were sent here to bring love and remembrance to the Demiurge. Restoration in that way. It didn’t work out, because we get caught up in this material life; because we get caught up in the never-ending war. You can’t remind people of good through evil. You cannot remind people of love through hatred. Only love breeds love. Now let’s look at how all of this affects Christology, the study of Christ. In the Gnosticism that I am sharing with you, the Son is the primal emanation. He’s the direct image of the Father. He represents divine Self-knowledge, and he is stable, he is eternal, and he is not fallen. The Christ is a later emanation. He’s a third order power. He’s generated for the purpose of restoration. He is shaped by the Son, Logos, and the Aeons, praying together to the Father for help to come to the Fall. He is the agent of healing, reconciliation, and revelation. So we have a Son, which is the first emanation, and we have a Christ, which is the restorative agent that comes after the first and second order of powers. Christ teaches the soul to recognize the Son. Christ repairs the cosmic imbalance caused by ignorance, and salvation flows from the Father, through the Son, through Christ, and into our souls and the Demiurge's soul—his ego. You see, we all have a perfect Self that is an embodiment of the pleroma of the Fullness of God. All of the first order powers are within us as they were with Logos, within him in a fractal manner, and then we are further fractals of Logos. It’s a nested hierarchy. We are children of the Elohim of Adonai Elohim So when the Christ comes into the cosmos to bring perfection and healing to the Demiurge and to us, it’s very similar, because the reason we feel less than perfect is because we have both an ego and that perfect Self, as did Logos. And it was the ego of Logos that became the Demiurge. Well, our fractal version of that same exact phenomenon is when our ego is not in alignment with our Self. And when the ego is not in alignment with the Self, when the ego has forgotten its origin, like happened to the Demiurge, when the ego has forgotten that it’s not the boss—our boss is our big S Self because that has the direct connection to the emanations of the Father and the Aeons above. Consciousness, life, love, all come from above, and that comes through our Self. The Self at the center of our souls is a fractal of the Fullness of God Then when we are melded onto this material world, to the molecules of the egg, the zygote that is now splitting, splitting, splitting, and leveling up to become the organism, we become lost in the materiality of this cosmic space. And it’s harder for our Self to shine forth through the material. And our egos are more than willing to identify with the material, with the Demiurge, because the Demiurge is pure ego. And so our egos come to resonate with the Demiurge. Even the Aeons have egos. Even the Son has an ego. Ego is merely your address. It’s your name, your rank, your function in the overall hierarchical pleroma of the Fullness of God. That’s what your ego is—it's your ID. The Aeons in the Fullness all have their position, place, power, function. So ego in and of itself is not a bad thing. It is easily led astray once we are in these material bodies down here on the earth. The pleroma of the Christ is the 3rd Order of Powers And so Christ’s function is to remind us of the purity of God, the purity of the soul, the purity of our Self, where we come from, and where we will be returning to, and what our job is down here. Because it’s only then, through the Christ, that we can feel the love, that we can embody the love, in order to share it with others and with the Demiurge. Consciousness and life only comes from above. The computers come from below. Life cannot jump into the molecular level. Okay, we’ll come back around to all of this one more time next week. Please leave me your thoughts. Let’s have a discussion on these things. We’ll pick it up again next week. God bless us all, and onward and upward!

Romans 8 hits different when you realize what's on the table:Because of Christ, you're not just “forgiven”—you've been adopted. You can cry “Abba, Father”… not with cheesy casualness, but with bold intimacy and holy reverence.And when doubts creep in, assurance isn't finally built on vibes or self-checklists. The Holy Spirit bears witness that we belong to God—and He does it through the Word, never against it.Then Paul stares straight at the pain of the world: evil, suffering, the “where is God?” questions. The missing piece is sin… and the loudest answer is the cross.Yes, the suffering is real. But it's temporary. Future glory is so massive Paul says it's not even comparable.And it's not just us—creation itself is groaning, waiting, longing for the day God finishes what He started.Hope isn't a crutch. It's oxygen.

Yes!  You are in!  Why does accountability often lack in community and friendship groups?  Because accountability is annoying.  I've been fired multiple times for following up.  In fact, my two most recent cases, they are now both dead.  Not from me.  From choices.  Here you go...Ok, bonus episode as God willing I'm scheduled to interview Spirit Filled Matthew today.  As for a hard look in the mirror, accountability is so annoying.  This is why our accountability groups lack so much.  We will avoid accountability.  It's human instinct.  It adds friction.  As for the deaths, brutal.  Both died to what we were trying to tackle.  As for me, avid listener, you know I'm flawed.  My dirt is all over it.  In fact, I added another accountability brother and he was in my face.  I'm further working on my financial plan.  Getting rid of other debt that I have been procrastinating on.  Are you good at procrastinating?  Depends on what it is right?  I'm too good at procrastinating.  I confess.  It is why I am where I am today.  If you want the full story, go back to the summer of 2020.  We don't just need accountability partners.  You've heard me mention Ola.  I forgot to put the link in the last episode.  You can find it right here in the show description page...https://ola-by-gcross-surf-3f7a020f.base44.appIt is still in beta stage.  Yet, listeners get early access.  It works.  In fact, it works very well.  New users should check the in-app guide and read the prologue, which better explains where I dug my holes.  Matt 22: 36-40.  Ultimately, that's all that matters.  As for Loving God with all your heart and soul, that does mean coming clean.  You honor your Abba by following His Word.  Yes, you and i trip up.  Check Rom 3:23.  It why we all need Rom 8:1.  Yet part of our journey is to honor our Lord with correction.  Repentance means to turn.  We all need to run at times.  Oh and loving your neighbor includes tough love.  Not rude love.  Tough love means lovingly telling someone what they need to hear versus what they want to hear. want to hear.  If you see someone drinking themselves to death or cheating on their spouse, you can't be down with that.  That does not honor your Heavenly Father or your neighbor.

Rev. Prof. Mark DeGarmeaux was preacher for this service. Mark 14:32-52: 32 They went to a place named Gethsemane. Jesus told his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 Then he took Peter, James, and John along with him and began to be troubled and distressed. 34 He said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow, even to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.” 35 Going forward a little, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 He also said, “Abba, Father, everything is possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 When he returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not strong enough to keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 Again he went away and prayed, saying the same thing. 40 When he returned, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. They did not know what they should answer him. 41 He returned the third time and said to them, “Are you going to continue sleeping and resting? It is enough. The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us go. Look, my betrayer is near.” 43 Just then, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. A crowd was with him, armed with swords and clubs. They were from the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the elders. 44 Now his betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard.” 45 He went right to Jesus and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him. 46 They laid hands on him and arrested him. 47 But one of those who stood nearby drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 48 Jesus responded by saying to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to capture me as you would a criminal? 49 Day after day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But this happened so that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.” 50 Then the disciples all left him and fled. 51 A certain young man was following him, wearing just a linen cloth over his naked body. They seized him, 52 but he left behind the linen cloth and fled from them naked.

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-10 ESVHe has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son. Colossians 1:13 ESVA decision to live in the Kingdom of God is a decision to reject the kingdom of this world. I am not praying that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. John 17:15-18 CSBServe the LORD alone. But if you refuse to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:11-15 NLTThe only path to real freedom, promise and purpose is in choosing wholeheartedly the Kingdom of God!You adulterers! Don't you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us” James 4:4-5 NLTYou used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil, the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else. But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved! Ephesians 2:2-5 NLTYou can't worship idols and Abba at the same time, and you can't choose to live in two opposing Kingdoms.Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 ESVJacob's ScreensDarkness isn't merely immoral behavior, It is living under the influence of the wrong culture and kingdom. Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is! “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money. Matthews 6:22-24 NLTDon't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world, wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important, has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out, but whoever does what God says is set for eternity. 1 John 2:15-17 MSGThe worst darkness is the darkness we think is right, light! But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. Matthew 6:33 CSBThose who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. 1 John 2:6 CSB So Joshua addressed the people: “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen GOD for yourselves to worship him.” And they said, “We are witnesses.” Joshua said, “Now get rid of all the foreign gods you have with you. Say an unqualified Yes to GOD, the God of Israel.” Joshua 24:22-24 MSG-------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

What if prayer is more central to the overarching story of scripture than we ever thought it was? Paul tells us in Ephesians 2:11-22 that through Christ, we who were once far off have been brought near—we have been given direct access to the Father. But here's the beautiful tension: access doesn't automatically equal intimacy. The entire biblical narrative, from Genesis to Revelation, traces humanity's journey from perfect communion with God in Eden, through the devastating loss of that closeness at the Fall, to its gradual restoration through Christ. We see this progression in Genesis 4, where people first began calling on the name of the Lord in their brokenness, through Moses who spoke with God face to face, to Jesus who modeled a revolutionary prayer life by calling God 'Abba, Father.' The disciples didn't ask Jesus to teach them to perform miracles—they asked Him to teach them to pray, recognizing that His power flowed from His intimacy with the Father. Today, we stand in the inheritance of that access, but we're challenged not to settle for merely having permission to approach God when deep, transformative intimacy is available. Prayer is something we can get better at, a learned skill that develops through consistent practice and relational intentionality. When we abide in Christ through prayer, aligning our hearts with His will, we become conduits through which God's redemptive work advances in this broken world.

Romans 8 exposes the stark reality that there is no neutral ground between humanity and God: the fleshly mind is hostile to Him because it refuses His law, and a life set on the world ends in death. Those who remain “in the flesh” are not merely unwilling but unable to please God—religious effort, morality, and good intentions cannot change that verdict. Hope breaks in with the gospel “but”: believers are no longer in the flesh if the Spirit of God dwells in them, because the Spirit regenerates, indwells, seals, and guarantees future redemption—even the resurrection of the body. This indwelling is the ground of real assurance, guarding against false confidence built on bad doctrine or self-deceived professions, and producing a life that is no longer ruled by sin. Finally, Paul frames the Christian identity as adopted sonship: led by the Spirit, freed from bondage and fear, we cry “Abba, Father,” not because of our works, but because God has united us to His Son and brought us into His family.

Our N.T. reading of Mark's gospel is the heart stirring 72 verses of his 14th chapter.  It records the ‘last supper' that Jesus shared with his disciples and its' age-lasting simplicity has had heart stirring meaning for his genuine disciples in every generation since that time.  After the supper there follows the heart searching time in the garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prays, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” [v.36]  The individuality of the Father and Son is so evident here, Jesus sets us an example that wherever Scriptural principles are involved we should follow our Saviour's example and say to our heavenly Father, ” not what I will, but what you will.”  These words make it plain that the ‘theology of the Trinity' which the Catholic's invented centuries later, has no place in the mind of the true believer.Judas now comes “and with him a crowd with swords and clubs'.[v.43]  Jesus does not resist, he says, “let the scriptures be fulfilled.”  And so they were, the Old Testament has several prophecies about this; these Scriptures  also make it plain, as we read yesterday, that there will be a final time of trouble for our world. The words Jesus spoke then have a particular application for us now, “Be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand.” [13 v.23]  Back in today's chapter we note what Jesus told the High Priest, and we see its awesome meaning for us as we live with increasing anticipation of this event.  He was warning the High Priest telling him, ” you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” [v.62]   The High Priest will be there, among the goats! What horror will fill his heart!   But what a wondrous prospect of joy their fulfilment hold for us. Our thoughts go to the words of Paul when he described this coming event to the Thessalonians in his 1st letter to them, ” the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” [4 v.16,17]   And where will the Lord be?  Reigning from Jerusalem! The world will experience “a new earth in which righteousness dwells” as Peter puts it in his final epistle [3 v.13]  May the “scriptures be fulfilled” very soon – and may we have the strength of faith to endure the coming tribulation with a sure anticipation of the wonders to follow.

Inside our theme of love this month, this week we are focusing on teaching our kids what love is. We have to lead and be their example, to help them see by words and actions that authenticity is the only way to understand love, especially the brand of love God gives us, not what the world throws at us every day. Real love and intimacy require vulnerability and sincerity. For all these reasons, God's Word is the original love letter from His heart to ours. So with that in mind, let's get started:Regardless of your church or spiritual background you likely know some or all of John 3:16. But sometimes when a verse becomes almost cliché, we can miss its meaning. We no longer consider the deep truth behind the words. For that very reason, I want to read verse 16 and 17 today from The Message Bible. But before I read, I want to challenge you to do something that might be tough, especially if you have any sort of issue with God, and what you feel He has allowed to happen in your life … I want you to hear this passage as if it was the first and only thing you have ever heard about God and His love. … Listen closely to every word …“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; (John 3:16-17 MSG)Hearing this truth with fresh and unbiased ears, what did you hear? Love? Sacrifice? A whole life? No accusations but setting the world right again? And the closing word? … Trust in Him equals acquittal. … Wow.There is no question that the enemy of God, along with the events that occur in a broken and fallen world muddy up and mess up us seeing God as love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness.Whatever negative and harmful concepts life has planted in your heart toward God, I want to encourage you to try and erase those lies and replace it with the truth of God's Word.Whatever your concept of God is, that is what you will show your kids. Your attitude and actions will far outweigh anything you say. To teach them the correct view of their heavenly Father, who Jesus called Abba or Daddy, you will have to first view Him as the God we hear about in today's passage. So what needs to happen for you to correct your view of biblical love, not what the world has shown you, but what God wants to give you … and your kids?Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, Abba, Daddy, help me to get rid of any wrong ideas or concepts I have that are not right about You. I never want anyone to misunderstand or misrepresent me, so help me to learn how to get You right … in my attitude, actions, and words … and to teach my kids who you really are. As above, so below.”

St. Isaac does not flatter us. He does not tell us that the ascetic life is noble. He tells us it burns. He does not tell us it is peaceful. He tells us it wounds. He does not tell us it feels like fulfillment. He tells us it feels like loss. Because what stands at the heart of the ascetic life is not discipline. It is death. Not the death of the body, but the death of the self that has lived for itself. And until that self begins to die, the soul remains cold. The modern man wants illumination without humiliation. He wants consolation without affliction. He wants joy without tears. He wants Christ without crucifixion. But St. Isaac tells us plainly. The sign that the soul is drawing near to life is not comfort. It is fire. Your heart is aflame both day and night. This fire does not come from effort. It comes from surrender. It comes when a man has ceased defending himself. It comes when he has ceased preserving his image. It comes when he has ceased negotiating with God. He stands stripped of illusions. He sees his poverty. He sees his weakness. He sees that he has nothing. And this is where grace begins. Because God does not fill what is full. He fills what has been emptied. The Lord says through the prophet Isaiah I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite. The fathers knew this. Abba Poemen said The man who understands his sins is greater than the man who raises the dead. Because the one who raises the dead may still live for himself. But the one who sees his sins has begun to die. And it is this death that gives birth to tears. St. Isaac says that tears join themselves to every work. Not because the man is trying to weep. But because he can no longer protect himself from reality. He sees God. He sees himself. He sees the distance between them. And he weeps. These tears are not weakness. They are truth. They are the breaking of the heart that has lived in false strength. King David understood this when he said My sacrifice is a contrite spirit. A humbled and contrite heart you will not spurn. God does not desire your accomplishments. He desires your brokenness. Because brokenness is the door through which He enters. This is why St. Isaac says that afflictions suffered for the Lord are more precious than every offering. Because affliction destroys the illusion that you are alive apart from God. Affliction reveals the truth. That you are dust. That you are weak. That you cannot save yourself. And the ego cannot survive this revelation. This is why affliction is feared. Not because it harms us. But because it exposes us. The Apostle Paul understood this mystery when he said We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed. Perplexed, but not driven to despair. Struck down, but not destroyed. Always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. Affliction carries death into the false self. So that life may be born in the true self. And this is where the paradox appears. Because the man who embraces affliction does not become miserable. He becomes free. St. Isaac says that when this fire is born in the soul, the whole world becomes ashes. Not because the world is hated. But because it no longer enslaves him. He no longer needs it to feel alive. He no longer needs recognition. He no longer needs control. He no longer needs to preserve himself. Because he has found something greater. He has found Christ. And Christ becomes his life. St. Paul says I count all things as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. This is not poetry. This is the testimony of a man who has passed through affliction into freedom. Because when the false life dies, the true life appears. And this life cannot be taken. This is the joy that St. Isaac speaks of. Not emotional happiness. But the unshakable certainty that Christ has become your life. This joy is born in tears. It is born in humiliation. It is born in affliction. It is born when the man ceases running from the cross. Christ did not say Avoid suffering. He said Take up your cross and follow me. Because the cross is not the end. It is the door. On the other side of affliction stands resurrection. On the other side of humiliation stands freedom. On the other side of tears stands joy. This is why St. Isaac warns us. If the fire grows cold, woe to you. Because the greatest tragedy is not suffering. It is returning to sleep. It is returning to self protection. It is returning to the illusion that you can live apart from God. The ascetic life is not about becoming strong. It is about becoming defenseless before God. It is about allowing Him to strip away everything false. It is about allowing Him to destroy what cannot live. So that what is eternal may appear. And when this happens, the man no longer fears affliction. Because he has seen what it produces. He has seen the fire. He has tasted the tears. He has known the joy that cannot be taken. And he understands at last the words of Christ Your sorrow will turn into joy. Not because suffering disappears. But because Christ has become your life. And nothing can take Him away. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:00:58 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 177 paragraph 24 00:07:15 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 177 paragraph 24 00:07:36 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Ascetic life begins where excuses die When a man stops speaking about God and begins to suffer for Him Humility takes root so deeply that tear flow unceasingly Heart burns without knowing why When grace comes the battle grows more dangerous - soul tempted to become prudent. Where most turn back Ascetic life requires a kind of violence against instinct to survive 00:16:15 Jesssica Imanaka: Looks I can attend these retreats since they don't start until the 21st. 00:20:28 Angela Bellamy: The devil does not only tempt with sin — he tempts with carefulness. I remember that from the "Unseen warfare" 00:30:50 Sr Barbara Jean Mihalchick: Baptism of the Holy Spirit? 00:31:58 Ryan Ngeve: Father with his emphasis on tears, does that mean a lack of tears entails the lack of working of the Holy Spirit 00:32:00 Angela Bellamy: Does such a thing that has happened that the unemotional/tenderness tears come... Would "carefulness take it away before time" 00:36:24 Angela Bellamy: Reacted to "Does such a thing th..." with ❤️ 00:39:24 Angela Bellamy: But with certainty one can assume that they are the one who pulled away, not Him? So there can be a drawing near again...? 00:46:03 Holly Hecker: it would appear that consolations at these times could be sort of dangerous - do we want to go back or go forward 00:46:09 David Swiderski, WI: I have noticed when repentance seems distant my mind turns towards pride forgetting being freed from it is not by me but by grace of something. When I turn back to repentance I find myself like Abba moses walking around with a hole in a bag of sand and more open to others struggles 00:50:21 John ‘Jack': Since reading the fathers, I've come to realize that I am only responsible for my own salvation, it seems like our culture has convinced us that we are somehow responsible for others salvation. Since I've been focused on this I've found my “witness” if you will has become far less burdensome. 00:54:35 Joan Chakonas: My prayers are usually in context of afflictions (my judgmentalism, my ridicule, my thoughts in general from living my day )and asking for Gods help and guidance.  When I am at peace I am not actively petitioning God for abstract things - I am trying to repent all the time and peace is what I get when I get His message. 00:55:09 David Swiderski, WI: Sin is followed by shame, Repentance is followed by boldness- St. John Chrysotom 00:56:10 Joan Chakonas: I just say thank you God over and over when I get to peace. 00:56:26 John ‘Jack': Perfectly stated, Father thank you. 00:56:53 Myles Davidson: Reacted to "I just say thank you..." with ❤️ 01:01:18 Anthony: Preach Father! I saw the Faith in Southern Italy was so different in its tone than what I've seen as an American Catholic. 01:01:41 Myles Davidson: A word for sorrowful joy seems like a word we lack in English (bittersweet is probably the closest). Is this the Greek word you mean Father? χαρμολύπη (charmolýpi)… pronounced as khar-mo-LEE-pee 01:02:05 Ben: Anna; This conversation reminds me of something Jesus said, "This is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved you." 01:02:45 Angela Bellamy: Reacted to "Anna; This conversat..." with ❤️ 01:02:57 David Swiderski, WI: Reacted to "Anna; This conversat..." with ❤️ 01:05:51 Angela Bellamy: I'm not really sure why this conversation reminds me of Malachi.
