Wishing all my dads out there a happy Father's Day. Also well as celebrating Abba Father for being the best dad ever :The importance of sharing the gospel for such a time as this.

This Father's Day, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a soul-shaking, Spirit-filled word that cuts through shame, silence, and struggle with a blazing invitation: Stop Hiding Hope. Whether you had the blessing of a godly father—or carry the scars of absence, pain, or brokenness—this message reminds us that we all share a perfect Heavenly Father. One who protects, provides, and calls us His own. But this message goes deeper. It's not just about who your Father is... it's about what He's done for you—and why it's time to TELL IT. Are you in the test of your life? Has your joy, peace, marriage, or purpose been under fire? Pastor Travis prophetically declares that your test is the evidence of a coming testimony. It's not just a story—it's spiritual warfare. Your testimony is a weapon. It's a prophecy. It's the power of salvation for someone else. From the ashes of Job to the shout of the woman at the well, the Bible echoes with one truth: what God did for you, He wants to do through you. Your story is more than pain survived—it's hope revealed. But it only works if you stop hiding hope. It's time to go public with your story. Let your scars preach. Let your survival speak. Let your breakthrough roar louder than your breakdown. Because hell doesn't fear your church attendance—it fears your testimony.

Henry Ogbuchi - June 15, 2025 - OUR FATHER, MY FATHER-ABBA FATHER The Father and His Beloved Son–Unity (Mathew 3:17,17:4-5 & John 12:28 )  Abraham – The Foundation of Generational Leadership (Genesis 18:19; Hebrews 11:8-10).  Eli – The Consequences of Passive Fatherhood (1 Samuel 2:12–17; 3:13) A Father Must Affirm His Child's Identity and Worth. Matthew 3:17 – God publicly affirms Jesus during His baptism, declaring Him as His beloved Son.  Children need clear verbal affirmation from their fathers — not just correction or instruction.  This builds emotional strength and reinforces their sense of identity and belonging A Father Must Express Love and Delight Consistently. Matthew 17:5 – God repeats His affirmation of Jesus, expressing deep love and pleasure in Him.  Fathers should take intentional moments to say “I love you” and express pride — not only in achievements, but in the child's being and character.  This nurtures confidence, stability, and openness in the relationship A Father Must Endorse and Support His Child's Purpose. John 12:28 – As Jesus approaches His mission of sacrifice, the Father affirms: “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”  Like God did for Jesus, a father's role is to help their child see the value and impact of their life's mission.  This includes encouragement, prayer, and guidance — even when you don't fully understand their path. Abraham-Foundation of Generational Leadership Genesis 18:17-19 & Hebrew 11:8-10 A Father must Lead his Family with Faith and Righteous Instruction  In Genesis, Abraham is praised for being a father who actively instructs his household in God's ways.  In Hebrews, Abraham is marked as a model of faithdriven obedience.

The Garden of Gethsemane stands as one of Christianity's most profound moments – the final hours before Jesus faced his destiny on the cross. In this deeply moving exploration of Mark 14:32-41, we unpack the raw humanity and divine purpose revealed as Christ approaches his darkest hour.From the symbolic setting of Gethsemane (which literally means "oil press") to Jesus sweating drops of blood under immense pressure, this passage offers extraordinary insight into Christ's experience. We examine how Jesus, despite knowing what awaited him, still brought his closest disciples for support – modeling the importance of spiritual community during life's most challenging moments.The tender moment when Jesus addresses God as "Abba Father" (similar to saying "Daddy") reveals the intimate relationship between Son and Father even as the cross loomed. His prayer – "Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will" – perfectly demonstrates how to balance honest human desire with ultimate submission to God's perfect plan.Meanwhile, the sleeping disciples provide a sobering counterpoint to Jesus' vigilance. Their failure to "watch and pray" offers powerful lessons about spiritual alertness and the reality that "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." When Jesus addresses Peter by his old name "Simon," we see how our unregenerate nature tends toward spiritual slumber while our new nature desires faithfulness.Whether you're facing overwhelming circumstances or simply seeking deeper understanding of Christ's sacrifice, this episode provides practical application for staying spiritually alert through prayer, community, and submission to God's will. Join us as we witness Jesus at his most vulnerable, yet most triumphant moment – teaching us how to face our own Gethsemane experiences with faith and courage.Support the showThank you for listening!!

Welcome to our Podcast.Listen to Rev.Dr. Matthew Everhard,as he preaches on Romans 8:12-17Abba! Father!

Why was it necessary for God to save us from our “good works” as well as our sin?- God Sent His Son to Redeem Us (1-5), “God sent forth his Son…to redeem those who were under the law…” (4)- God Sent His Spirit to Adopt Us (6,7), “God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba Father!” (6)

We have an Abba Father who is Himself love. His hesed--his steadfast, loyal love--relentlessly pursues His people for their ultimate good.

Picture yourself as a kid once more. When you find yourself in a situation where you're completely lost, it's natural to reach out for a little guidance. That's the moment when your parents rush in to lend a hand. Today, Pastor Richard shares how your Abba Father is always there, ready to hear your cries for help. When you reach out to Him in prayer and ask for His guidance, God is there to help you and illuminate your path forward. Isn't that just incredible?

05/11/25 Galatians: God Sent His Spirit Into Our Hearts Crying Abba Father by Heritage Church

"Thou shalt not be ashamed..."- Isaiah 54:4."God resisteth the proud...Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God , that he may exalt you in due time."- 1 Peter 5:5-6."Let not your heart be troubled..."- John 14:1."Write the vision..."- Habakkuk 2:2-3."God is faithful..."- 1 Corinthians 10:13.Merciful Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we thank you for loving us and for hearing our cry.Abba Father, we thank you for bearing our grief and carrying  our sorrows...for healing us.Lord we thank you for being close to the broken hearted: we thank you that joy comes in the morning, and that your plans for us are always good.We thank you for giving us peace that no one can take away.We thank you that Faith, Hope, and Love are eternal.Jesus Christ, we thank you for providing unlimited access to You, God Almighty, through your obedience and ultimate sacrifice: we receive you Holy Spirit.Wonderful, Counsellor, we thank you for giving us power, love, and a sound mind;we thank you for telling us not to worry...especially about tomorrow. Lord and Saviour,  we thank you for making us unashamed, and for being faithful.We repent of our sin.We forgive and receive forgiveness. We receive your unconditional love and do our best to love others as ourself. We receive all of the faith, hope, love, grace, mercy, special miracles, heart's desires, answered prayers, and blessings that YOU have for us.Jesus is the Lord: Amen."This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes."- Psalm 118:23.

God the Father is generous in every way—in creation, our senses, relationships, and grace. Through Scripture and Jesus' life, we see Abba's heart to give freely and without hesitation.

God the Father is completely trustworthy, not because of what we do, but because of His unchanging character. Jesus revealed Abba as faithful, loving, and near, inviting us into deeper trust.

This 8-week series, Abba Father, explores how Jesus related to God as a loving, intimate Daddy, and invites us to know and trust God the Father with the same closeness. This week, we explore what Jesus revealed about the goodness of God the Father.

“And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus Christ has provided eternal redemption through the shedding of His blood. On this broadcast, Dr. Robinson reminds us that we are eternally redeemed. God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts crying out, "Abba Father."

Pslam 91:4 says "His truth shall be your shield and buckler." Abba Father wants us to know that His truth is our shield, our divine protection, our defense against the enemy of our soul. On this broadcast, Dr. Robinson takes us through the 139th Psalm and shows us Abba's truth, operating as a shield, providing divine guidance and protection for us.

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus faced His most intense moment of suffering, not just anticipating physical pain, but the spiritual anguish of bearing the world's sin. He demonstrated profound intimacy with God by addressing Him as Abba Father while honestly expressing His desires. Despite His distress, Jesus ultimately chose submission to God's will over His own desires. This pivotal moment teaches us about authentic faith, the power of surrender, and the true cost of following God's plan.

Well, hello there! Hope you are doing well, growing in grace, enjoying the Lord's love, spending time with Him daily, and living a Kingdom focused life. I'm thankful you're listening today. This is episode number 207 of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show, featured on the Edifi app, iHeart radio, Spotify, Apple podcasts, and pretty much all the places. Let's jump into today's episode. The Power of God's Will - 40 Days of God's Promises Devotional now available on Audible If you were, say, looking at the last week of Jesus' life, those days leading up to the crucifixion - if you were looking from the outside, those events leading would leave you with an entirely different impression than they do for us who know Jesus, who love Him and live for Him. In Him we live and move and have our being, it says in Acts 17:28. When you know that for yourself in a personal way, you look at the events between Palm Sunday and Resurrection Sunday with thankfulness, gratitude, humility, awe, and hope for what comes next. When you look at it from the outside in, it probably doesn't create those same emotions. It looks like a series of terribly unfortunate events from that perspective. Jesus' arrest, trial, crucifixion - those are gut wrenching moments in history and may be incredibly difficult to make sense out of for someone looking at the life of Jesus for the first time.    The week seems like it ended in utter hopelessness, like those three and a half years of the Lord's life were all for naught. And that would be discouraging, if you only saw it from that perspective, from the outside looking in.    But when you are in Christ, you look at things from a heavenly perspective. You are seated with Him in the heavenly places, is says in Ephesians 2:6, and that means we don't see things from the world's point of view. We see everything in a different light, and not like the old Bangles song from the ‘80s (yes, I am Gen X and yes, the 1980's produced a vast volume of songs, enough that there are references available for almost everything…and I wish the word of God was as easy to memorize as all those song lyrics from my teenage years were).    When we only see something in part, only have access or clarity on bits and pieces of a situation, it can easily feel pretty discouraging. Let me reiterate that: when we only see in part, we can easily become discouraged.   It makes sense that the last week of Jesus' life could be discouraging to someone looking at the life of Jesus from the outside. But doesn't it also make sense that you and I can also become discouraged about the things we can only see in part? And since we are not yet with the Lord, we do see in part. We don't have the whole picture. But what we do have is actually far better; we have Jesus Himself, we have the Holy Spirit indwelling us, we have the promise of heaven with Him, we are forgiven, we have access to the Father via prayer directly, at any time, because the veil was torn at Jesus death and thanks to His resurrection, death and hell are defeated for us.    I say all that to remind you that when you start feeling discouraged about something, I hope you can pause and remember that just because you can't see it all with total clarity, that does not mean things are hopeless. Sunday is coming, and for the Christian, Sunday always, always comes, into every scenario and situation and problem and pitfall. Always.    How can I say that and be so certain that it is true, no matter what is happening in your life? Because when you know Jesus, when your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life, in the end you get eternity with Him. And that is, for you, the joy of Resurrection morning, the empty tomb, the defeat of death for you, and eternal hope.    We who know the Lord understand that Jesus accomplished the Father's will, and we know absolutely that the tomb is empty, there is no body of Jesus entombed in Israel. No grave holds Him. That tomb? It was empty 2000 years ago, it's empty right now, and it will remain empty for time and all eternity. The deed is done. The goose is cooked. Satan truly is a defeated foe, as Revelation chapter 20 so powerfully and beautifully teaches.   The seeming series of unfortunate events was in actuality a series of events leading to the greatest moment to ever occur. There's nothing else like it!    You and I know this to be true.  So, can we also trust that God is doing His will - His good and perfect and pleasing will - on behalf of His dearly loved children, even in the areas of our lives that are painful?    It takes some guts, some faith, and often some honest prayer sessions with the Lord to really believe this with every fiber of our being. And if you need to wrestle with God on a topic that's especially raw and real, please do that. Wrestle in prayer with Him. Ask Him those hard questions. Cry if you need to. But don't just cry to your small group, to your friends, to your spouse. Cry out to your ABBA Father, and be still before Him long enough to experience the love and encouragement and peace that He wants to give you right in the midst of your mess.  You are not alone. He has promised never to leave you or forsake you. So please don't live like you're alone, like you've been forsaken. God is not a liar. Do not allow your stress to lead you to a place where your faith is so nonexistent, your trust so shrunken, that you are basically accusing God of being a liar to you. Remember, it is impossible fo rGod to lie, it says that in Hebrews chapter 6, verse 18. Never live in a way that accuses God of something that it is impossible for Him to do. He has not and He will not and He is not in this moment right now today lying to you. He can't and He won't. Please do not forget that!    Let's look at Mark, chapter 4. Verses 24 and 25. I'm going to read from the New Living Translation.    Then He added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given - and you will receive even more. To those who listen to My teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.”  How are you at listening? It's not easy to be a good listener in our always on our phones day and age. It takes a whole lot more effort than it used to. But it's important to train yourself to be a good listener. In say your marriage, your parenting, at work, and all the more so when it comes to what Jesus has said via the Bible.   Are you paying close attention to what He has said? Are you listening closely, so that you can understand and then be given even more? Are you listening to His teaching? Not just during a sermon once a week, but really listening when you open your Bible and read it for yourself? And are you doing that daily? If not, can you start reading your Bible every day? Not to be a legalist, because that is a dead-end road. But because you want to do what Jesus said to do here in Mark chapter 4 - reading your Bible because you want to pay close attention, to listen to Him closely, and to be given more understanding.   The inverse is that what little understanding you have will be taken away from you if you don't pay close attention. That's not a good thing. And so, let's just not do things that way.    As we think about Resurrection Sunday, we almost certainly think about the fact that Jesus finished His work on the cross. It is a finished work. Nothing more needs to be done or added to it. It is finished, that's what He said from the cross, and He meant what He said and said what He meant. Remember, Mark 4? We are paying close attention to what He tells us.  And so, we believe that it is finished, His work on the cross. And since we believe that, we also live without trying to add to the already finished work. The work we have to do is the work of believing according to John 6:29.    We can, and really I feel like we must, we must trust the Lord who paid it all to give us eternal life is the same Lord who is at work in our lives right here and now, today, completing the good work He began in us. Philippians 1:6 tells us to be confident that He will complete the good work He started in us. He is a finisher, our God is. Jesus finished it all on the cross and that sure doesn't indicate that He'll leave you flapping out in the wind, unfinished. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, it says in Hebrews 12:2. The Author, so He started it and He is also continuing to write it out for us, day by day, and He will finish it. Anything Jesus finishes is done to perfection. That's how you need to look at your faith. Jesus authored it, He is still authoring it every single moment of every single day, and He will finish it to perfection. How do we know this is true? Because of the cross; His finished work on the cross proves that Jesus finishes everything He sets His hand to with perfection. Always. Every single time.   He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. Your life and times are in His hands. Those are good, good hands to be in. Jesus isn't Allstate, He doesn't raise your rates when you make a claim. You are rooted and established in Him. He's got you, and if you don't feel like you can see the end of this ordeal right now, just remember that He's got you. He has engraved you on the palms of His hands, and it is impossible for Him to forget you. See Isaiah 49:16.   This Resurrection Sunday, I hope you rejoice and declare with total trust in Him that He is risen! He is risen, indeed!    Lord bless you today, and every day! And may His mercy, grace and peace be yours in abundance. (And one little announcement - my devotional The Power of God's Will - 40 Days of God's Promises is available on Audible as an audiobook. I'll put that link in the show notes.)    I'll see you next time. Bye bye!

Jessica Wahyu (TB) Matius 6 : 9 "Karena itu berdoalah demikian: Bapa kami yang di sorga, Dikuduskanlah nama-Mu." 

Through Christ's redemptive sacrifice, we experience the profound transformation of divine adoption, becoming children of God and co-heirs with Christ. This spiritual adoption surpasses earthly adoption, granting us direct access to God's throne of grace and the privilege to approach Him boldly as our Abba Father. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in this adoption process, enabling our intimate relationship with God and producing spiritual fruit in our lives.As adopted children of God, we receive a new identity as part of a chosen generation, royal priesthood, and holy nation. This elevated status comes with both privileges and responsibilities. We're called to walk worthy of our calling by maintaining unity with other believers, demonstrating lowliness and gentleness, and bearing with one another in love. This transformation from being slaves to sin to becoming God's children requires us to live differently, representing His kingdom and maintaining the unity of the Spirit in our daily lives.This week's Sermon:https://christianfellowship.subspla.sh/jnj6jdjAbout our Church:https://christianfellowshiploslunas.orgWas this helpful?

Let's dive in—because this time spent is not only good for the soul, but a wonderful way to start your day. 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's 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 don't have to go much further than our reading in Deuteronomy today. So let's 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

Humans were built for language and communication. It's one of the bits of creative genius God used when He formed His highest creation. And apart from regular communication, whether it's the written word or verbal, we have a great gift from a loving God: prayer.Prayer is an intensely personal way to communicate with our Creator, the One who knows everything about us.Jeremiah 29:12 says, “Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me and I will listen to you.”All through scripture, we see that God is available to us all the time. No regular hours or standing meetings. We can talk to Him anytime we want. There are 650 recorded prayers in the Bible, and we read about people praying while sitting, standing, kneeling, with faces to the ground or hands lifted up.By the way, amen means “let it be,” or “so be it.”The word appears for the first time in Numbers 5:22.Since prayer is human communication with God, we see that the first prayers were way back in Genesis 3 and 4 when Adam and Eve, and later Cain, talked with God. In the second exchange, even though Cain was angry and had just killed his brother, he was having a conversation with God.Jesus famously modeled prayer in Luke 11; and notice that He was talking to God the Father.It can be a fine line when thinking about how prayer is initiated. Often, thoughts come to our minds, or we're reminded to pray for someone. However, there's an indication that God prompts us to talk with Him.Galatians 4:6, that from our hearts we cry out, “Abba Father,” and that the indwelling spirit of the Lord prompts this in us. Of all the great gifts God has given us, prayer is one of the most special. It's how our spirits commune with the One who loves us with perfect love. And He's always ready and waiting to hear from us.Let's pray.Father God, we worship you for who you are. We love you, and thank you for loving us. Thank you for making a way for us to talk with you about the things that lie hidden in our hearts. In Jesus' name, amen.Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us to say to God, "Not my will, but Yours." Notes Our marching orders are clear: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel, making disciples of all nations.” God can and will be found by the true seeker. This was not about food but people, people that God happened to love. It’s time to stop dividing and start uniting. We too can be hard and angry toward people who have hurt us in life. Take the gospel message to the people who have mistreated you. “Everything in life is preparation for something else.” —Pastor Chuck Smith Maybe certain things have happened to you that mystify you … remember, God is in control and the “steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord.” Never say never! Never be afraid to commit an unknown future to a known God. Before Jesus prayed “if it is possible, let this cup pass from me,” He said, “Abba Father, all things are possible for You” (Mark 14:36). We are not childish but childlike; open to and dependent on God without embarrassment. No life is an unfinished life. Even if it’s a short life, if it’s lived for God’s glory, it’s still a success. Not my will, but Yours be done! If we believe in the providence of God, we know that the Lord is in control of all things. If we are a true Christian, we do not have the liberty of saying, “never, Lord!” Who is God calling you to reach out to right now? God has prepared you to bring the gospel to other people. Jesus Christ died on the cross for you! Invest in evangelism in 2025! --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
