Lucas Crawford delivers a compelling message from Matthew 7, continuing the Sermon on the Mount series, challenging believers to judge righteously with humility and restoration in mind. Framing the sermon around a baby dedication for Hank Holland, Lucas emphasizes the community's role in raising children in faith. He unpacks Jesus' teaching on avoiding hypocritical judgment, urging self-examination before correcting others, using vivid illustrations like a house beam versus a speck and a personal story of handling cactus spines. Lucas warns against misinterpreting “judge not” as a blanket excuse for sin, instead calling for God's standard alone to guide correction. With practical applications like using the Ten Commandments for self-reflection, he encourages a church of soft hearts, committed to mutual growth and gospel-sharing with wisdom.Verse References: Matthew 7 verses 1–6, Leviticus 19 verse 15, John 7 verse 24, 1 Corinthians 5 verses 12–13, Matthew 6 verse 12, Romans 2 verse 1, Galatians 6 verse 1, 1 Corinthians 5 verse 5, 2 Peter 2 verse 22, Matthew 13 verses 45–46, Acts 13 verses 45–46Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Worship isn't just a song it's a lifestyle that anchors us in the middle of uncertainty, pain and pressure. In this weeks Leadership Lesson, our Worship Director Tameeka Walker unpacks the power of worship when life doesn't make sense. Drawing from Acts 16, Tameeka shows how Paul and Silas didn't wait for breakthrough to worship, they were already prepared. Worship shifts atmospheres, builds spiritual endurance and keeps our hearts aligned with God even when we're pressed but not yet delivered. In the middle of the process, the tension and the unknown, worship creates space for God to move.

In this Month of Iyar we have been realigning our boundaries as we establish our grounding for the 6th day of Sivan or Feast of Shavuot. This week in the midst of boundary reestablishment, we are reminded that Iyar 27 or May 25 , is Ascension day- or the day Jesus ascended , which was 40 days after resurrection and 10 days before He sent the Holy Spirit to the upper room. It is from the ascension realms we are to make boundary decisions that will position us for the remainder of the year. Don't make decisions from earthly realms but from eternal realms where there is limitless thinking and no restriction. It is here we will make heavenly decisions first because this is the boundaries of heaven. Make decisions from the place of abundance and peace. Set your boundaries for decision making here first ! Heaven first to make earth decisions.Acts 1:1-3 When Jesus ascended He gave spiritual gifts to men and women. These gifts have his identity and power that will fix the brokenness of the body and redeem all that is lost. It is from ascension gifts that kingdom advancement arises through the 5 fold ministry.Ephesians 4:7-16 Talk with God about the gifts He has given you and prepare yourself for greater gifts and Fire on Feast of Shavuot. As we receive promotion and new mantles that day!Shavuot or Pentecost is the 2nd Feast of the calendar year and time again for a special offering according to Deuteronomy 16:16-18- Offering for Feast of Shavout “Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty: Every man shall give as he is able,according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.”In the Month of Iyar grab a copy of Dr Candice new book “365 Prophetic Revelations from Hebrew Calender”- go to www.Candice Smithyman.comhttps://amzn.to/4aQYoR0Want the tools to equip others to be good disciples and group leaders in the Kingdom of God?

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses . . . to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 1:8 Before going back to heaven, Jesus called each of his followers to be a witness for him. A witness is someone who can attest to what they have seen or experienced personally. This calling applies to all of us who follow Jesus today as well. We are called to be reliable witnesses, sharing with others the grace of God that we have personally witnessed and experienced in our lives. This lies at the heart of our identity as followers of Christ. The task that Jesus has entrusted to us is to carry his life-saving message wherever we go. This magnificent, global mission began with Jesus' first-century followers, and it continues with his 21st-century followers today. Empowered by his Spirit, we have a story to tell and a life-altering encounter to share. While others may have doubts about the Bible's teaching or quibble about theology, they cannot refute our personal experience. They cannot change what we know to be true about God's work in our hearts and lives. Jesus recognized that a transformed life becomes an unstoppable force for good and for God in this world. To the people around you, there is no one better positioned to testify to the life-changing power of God than you. Think of a story you can share with someone about the Lord's work in your life. Whom will you tell today? Dear Jesus, fill us with your Spirit. Empower us to be living testimonies of your grace and love, sharing with others our stories of your grace-filled work in us. Amen.

Can something as simple as kindness really change someone's view of God? Simple acts of love and kindness are how Jesus shows up in people's lives. When someone feels seen, heard, and cared for—especially in their mess or suffering—it softens hearts. It opens a door. That's when people start to wonder, “Why are you doing this?” And we get to say, “Because Jesus loves you.” When we meet people in their suffering with compassion—feeding them, clothing them, praying with them—we're not just meeting physical needs, we're revealing the heart of Jesus. And when people experience that kind of love, they start to believe again that God is real, that He sees them, and that He hasn't forgotten them. In today's episode, I sit down with Mandy Busch and Amanda Pfeiffer to share the incredible story of how their parish community responded after an EF4 tornado struck. Instead of just reacting, they mobilized hundreds—each person using their unique spiritual gifts—to serve with compassion, leadership, and faith. We talk about how discovering and using our charisms—the gifts given by the Holy Spirit—can be a game changer for unity and fruitfulness in mission. When we stop comparing and start collaborating, the Church comes alive. Like a puzzle, every piece matters. And when we come together in love, the result is powerful.

Today we'll resume our study in Acts by beginning a mini-series in chapter seventeen, titled “How to Witness”. The ministry of Paul and Barnabas and friends was turning the world upside down! Or I should say turning it right side up! This message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ was controversial to say the least, but God was saving a lot of souls! We're about to see how we too can be a witness, in this generation. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

For 21 May 2025, Wednesday of the 5th week of Easter, based on Acts 15:1-6

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Acts 11, in which Peter explains the reception of the Gospel by a Gentile family and a vision he'd been given by God. Anyone who calls on the name of Jesus is made clean by the shedding of his blood.

May 20 2025 Tuesday Your Words Matter / Week 16 Believing Without Seeing #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our series through the Book of Acts, The Fifth Act, with a powerful message from Acts 4:18–31 on how the Early Church responded to resistance with unified prayer. In this passage, we see Peter and John boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus in the face of commands, threats, and pressure to conform.  Today, we are also called to respond to resistance by choosing faithfulness over fear, and pressing in with prayer instead of retreating.

A new MP3 sermon from Iglesia Biblica del Señor Jesucristo is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Heridos en el camino, firmes en la misión Subtitle: Hasta lo último de la tierra Speaker: Sugel Michelen Broadcaster: Iglesia Biblica del Señor Jesucristo Event: Sunday Service Date: 5/18/2025 Bible: Acts 14 Length: 59 min.

This weekend, we're studying Acts 11:1–18 under the theme “Religious Discrimination.” In this pivotal moment, Peter defends his mission to the Gentiles after God reveals that the Gospel breaks through ethnic and religious barriers—proving salvation is not by cultural conformity but by grace alone. We'll see how God confronts human prejudice, expands our understanding of His grace, and calls us to reject man-made divisions in favor of His unifying Gospel.SERIES SUMMARY: The Book of Acts is the story of the early Christian Church. For centuries after the first Easter, the Christian Church has studied Acts. The logic is that, after we celebrated Jesus' rising from the grave and subsequent ascent into heaven, perhaps we should try to do what the early church did, contextualized to our time and place. Throughout this series, we will look at snapshots of Acts, from supernatural healing to strategic planning, cultural diversity to Christian celebrity. This is the story of what Jesus continued to do even after he ascended into heaven and sent his Spirit to form the Church.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

Acts 12:12-17 John 8:42-51

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” - Matthew 25:40Some exciting things are happening that will give you more ways to help “the least of these” in God's Kingdom. Brian Holtz joins us today with details about how we can all have the greatest impact in helping those in need.Brian Holtz is the CEO of Compass Financial Ministry and the author of Financial Discipleship for Families: Intentionally Raising Faithful Children.A Call to Reach the MarginsWhen it comes to helping families in financial crisis, good intentions aren't always enough. Real transformation requires more than quick fixes—it takes relationships, discipleship, and time. That's the heart behind Making Ends Meet, a small group video study from Compass Financial Ministry designed to equip churches and communities to walk with struggling families toward lasting financial health.Most financial ministries have historically focused on middle—and upper-income families, but Compass felt God pushing them to address those with no financial margin at all—those who aren't just managing poorly but truly don't have enough income to meet basic needs.In response, Compass partnered with ministries that specialize in serving low-income families to learn the unique challenges these households face, many of which go far beyond budgeting.Why Money Alone Isn't EnoughSimply giving money doesn't create lasting change. It may provide short-term relief, but study after study shows that injecting money into poverty doesn't solve the deeper problem.That's not a reason to stop giving—it's a reason to start giving differently.Jesus didn't just heal people and walk away. He invited them to follow Him. That's the model we need to follow—combining financial help with relational investment.When someone is experiencing financial hardship, it's often not just a matter of dollars and cents—it's about identity, family history, and deeply ingrained beliefs. That's why true transformation requires more than a checkbook; it requires presence.When we invest relationally, we gain credibility. That allows us to speak into someone's life in a way that supports their heart and habits.Understanding the Emotional BarriersOne of the surprising lessons Compass learned during the development of Making Ends Meet is how emotional the journey out of poverty can be.Many poor communities are deeply interdependent. They share what they have and support each other in powerful ways, like the early church in Acts.But when someone begins to move toward financial stability, it can create fear: Will I lose my community if I start to thrive? Will I be accepted if I have more than those around me?This anxiety can be paralyzing, which is why patience and prayer are so critical. These are generational challenges. They won't be overcome overnight, but change is possible with consistent love and support.Learn More and Get InvolvedThe beauty of Making Ends Meet is its simplicity. You don't need to be a financial expert to use it. If you care about people and are willing to walk with them, the study provides a step-by-step framework to break cycles of poverty and help families build a new mindset.This is for anyone already serving in their community through their church, a shelter, or a mentoring ministry. Compass provides the tools to make that investment more effective.To explore how you or your church can use Making Ends Meet, visit CompassFinancialMinistry.org. Whether you're looking to lead a group or come alongside a struggling neighbor, this resource is designed to equip you to serve with compassion and wisdom.Helping others financially isn't just about generosity—it's about discipleship. When we combine truth, love, and time, God can do amazing things.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How do I get banks to produce my bank statements further back than the seven-year period usually required to keep records?

In our new series, On Earth As It Is In Heaven, we are diving into the book of acts. This book is a recorded history of the church's birth and what Jesus continued to do after His resurrection, this time through His people. Jesus entrusted this movement to normal, everyday people—People who allowed the resurrection to lay claim on their lives. Not perfect people, not polished or platformed people, just forgiven sons and daughters who said "yes." For our fourth week, Lead Pastor Grant Bruscoe continues by leading us through Acts 3:1-20.

Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my DISCIPLE must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. (NIV) Matthew 7:21–23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (NIV) 1. The Salvation Stage 2. The Milk Stage 1 Peter 2:2-3 Like newborn INFANTS, long for the pure spiritual MILK, that by it you may GROW UP into salvation 3 If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. (ESV) 1 Corinthians 3:1–3 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere INFANTS in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are STILL WORLDLY. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? (NIV) Hebrews 5:13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. (ESV) 3. The Maturing Stage 1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. (NIV) Hebrews 5:14 But solid food is for the MATURE, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. (NIV) 4. The Others Stage Ephesians 4:12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, (ESV) 4A. Mature Christians Get Connected to Other Christians 4B. Mature Christians Get Equipped for Ministry 4C. Mature Christians Serve Others So The Body Can Grow 1 Peter 4:10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. (NIV) 5. The Disciple Making Stage Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (NIV) Hebrews 6:1 So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and BECOME MATURE in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God. (NLT) Hebrews 5:12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! (NIV) Acts 6:7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith. (ESV)

Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Easter. Life is difficult. You don't have to move on alone. In a difficult life and a difficult mission, Paul had someone with him who helped him continue to do the work he was called to do. Paul had someone who helped him move on.
