This week at Zion, Executive Pastor Anthony Rivera continued our series, Romans: The Gospel Changes Everything, with a message titled Am I Right With God? from Romans 5.Paul answers one of the most important questions we can ask: How do I know I'm right with God? The good news is that our standing with God is not based on our performance, but on our faith in Jesus Christ. Through Him, we have been justified, given peace with God, access to the Father, and a firm place to stand in His grace.We explored three powerful truths:We don't live for acceptance, we live from acceptance. Because of Jesus, we no longer have to strive for God's approval. We have full access to our Heavenly Father and can approach Him with confidence.Affliction doesn't get the final word. Romans 5 reminds us that suffering is part of life, but God uses it to produce endurance, character, and hope. Our circumstances may be real, but they don't have to define us because we are being filled and formed by Christ.The cross settles what our circumstances cannot. When we question whether God loves us, Paul points us back to the cross. Romans 5:8 reminds us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God's love was proven long before we had anything to offer Him.Drawing from Hebrews 12:2, Anthony shared a powerful reminder: the joy set before Jesus as He endured the cross was us. He willingly endured suffering because He loved us and desired to bring us back into relationship with the Father.The message concluded with a challenge to remember the blood of Christ. When life feels uncertain, when suffering feels overwhelming, and when we wonder where we stand with God, we can look to the cross and remember what Jesus has already done. Because of Him, we can trust God with our future and rest in the assurance that we have been made right with Him.NEXT STEPS: Whether you're exploring faith, growing in your relationship with Jesus, or looking for a church community, we'd love to help you take your next step.

"It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes" (Psalm 119:71).

Text: 2 Corinthians 1:1-11

SERMON LXV.THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION.I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.—Isaiah xlviii. 10.GRACIOUS words indeed! words worthy of a God! who has promised that “he will not always chastise, that he will not keep his anger for ever;” but, on thecontrary, will take care in the midst of judgment to remember mercy, and ifhe strike with one hand, will uphold with the other.I hope I need not tell you, my dear hearers, that these words were spokento comfort the captives in Babylon, who, for their various sins and greatbackslidings, constrained the God of love, the God of mercy, their covenantGod, to send them captives into a foreign soil; upon this, their enemies takeoccasion to insult them, “Where are now your songs?” say they; give us oneof your temple songs, with which you used to pour out your hallelujahs; let us see now whether you can praise him in a strange land. The enemy of soulsjoining inwardly with them without, makes some that can sing, even afraid“that God hath forgotten to be gracious, that he hath shut up his lovingkind-ness in displeasure,” that the darkness in which they were now involvedwould not be a temporary, but a perpetual one; and notwithstanding theprophets were sent in mercy of God to comfort them in their trouble, yetmany of them were tempted to say, “All men (yea the prophets) were liars;”it is very well if they stopped there, and did not say, God is a liar too. The enemy being thus suffered to break in upon them like a flood, it was hightime for the blessed God to lift up a standard against him; and therefore thegreat Redeemer, the angel of the everlasting covenant, …not for any good foreseen, but he says, “for my own name's sake;” that theheathen might not say God had utterly forsaken them, he will appear for theirrelief, and “make them more than conquerors through him that loved themthat however dark the season of affliction might be, yet he would let his ownpeople know that all that happened, happened out of love; that it was so farfrom being true, that they were really cast off from God, that, on the contrary,he intended to overrule these troubles, both foreign and domestic, to bringthem nearer to, and at last to lodge them safe in, the world above; well there-fore for their comfort might it be ushered in thus, “For my name's sake willI defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not2off.” And to fix their attention and gratitude, it is added, “Behold I have re-fined thee, but not with silver;” for this is so far from being contrary to theeverlasting decree or purpose, hid in my bosom, that, on the contrary, it isthe fulfilling it; for, saith God, in the words of our text,“ I have chosen theein the furnace of affliction.”Though the words are spoken in the singular number, yet they are of acomplex and large import: the great God not only speaks to them as a peoplecollectively considered, but particularizes them in this manner; not, “I havechosen you, but I have chosen thee;” for the word of God itself will never,never, never do us good, if it is not applied by the blessed Spirit of God toyou and I. The wisdom and kindness of the Holy Ghost deserves our notice;had the prophet gone on and said, “I have chosen you,” unbelief might havesaid, Ah, this prophecy belongs only to the people of Israel, the words wereaddressed to those who were under the Jewish dispensation, what have I todo with them? or unbelief would persuade us to say so of such a generalpromise as this; …God has chosen me in the furnace of affliction.” Perhaps,there is not a more comfortable passage in the whole book of God; I do notknow of one that has a greater tendency to silence a complaining child ofGod, or to make a poor suffering believer happy, and to rest under the prom-ise, to kiss the rod of God that strikes the blow.

Michal's Rebuke2 Samuel 6:1–23Is it ever right to challenge those who are in authority? If it is, then with what spirit should we issue that rebuke or challenge. We have a case study in King David, who despite his kingly authority was challenged over and over again. In this study we see:The ACT David did,The ACCUSATION Michal made,The AFFLICTION that resulted.And we even, in passing, note that this passage is not a description of the inclusion of dancing in our corporate worship!Recorded LIVE at Ballymacashon Congregational church, Killinchy, Co.Down, BT23 6RN.Read the NOTES HERE.

When we spend our time always focusing on all the things that could go wrong, it only results in discouragement, fear, and living unfruitful lives. God has promised His victory and is all that we are waiting for. When we place our hope in His victory, we live hopeful, encouraged and fruitful lives. In this episode, Associate Pastor Josh speaks about the hope of God's eternal promises for the lives of believers from 2 Thessalonians 2.Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa

What are we looking for to make the Christian life worth it for us? If we would just believe God's Word and live in response to it rather than focus on the afflictions of this world, we would see the goodness and joy that comes from His Gospel, now and into eternity. In this episode, Associate Pastor Josh talks about the fulfillment that comes from faithfulness from 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12.Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa

ou did everything right — and the storm still came.Right after the miracle of the five loaves, Jesus constrained His disciples to get into the boat and cross to the other side — and obedience sailed them straight into a tempest. In this message from our Faith series, Pastor Nana Boadum opens Matthew 14 and asks the question so many of us carry: if I'm following God, why is the wind against me?Four anchors for the storm: faith gives you victory over your past — you don't have to fear that old failure will repeat itself. God is awake — while you're rowing at 3 a.m., Jesus is on the mountain interceding for you (Hebrews 7:25). Storms are not proof you've missed God — "in the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). And when the wind argues with the word, hold on to what God has said — then praise Him through it. Not denial: a higher truth.Affliction may try to rise a second time (Nahum 1:9). But hear this: the season will end — and you will not.Jesus Generation (P246 Church) · Athens, Ohio · Join us Sundays, 10:30am–12:30pm · 726 East State Street · p246church.org#JesusGeneration #P246Churches #YouMatterToGod #onOurWayToAThousand #EmbracingHisPower #PursuingHisPresence #YouAreLoved #Ohio #AthensOhio

Dr. Darrin Wright,FBCW,FBC Wheeling,Romans Sermon, Romans,The Path of Affliction and Goodness , Psalm 119, Psalm 19:65-72

What if the difficult circumstances in your life are not evidence that God is against you, but evidence that He is trying to lead you back to Himself? Manasseh repeatedly rebelled against God, ignored His warnings, and eventually experienced the painful consequences of his choices. Yet in his affliction, he humbled himself, called on God, and discovered that God was still willing to hear and restore him. Sometimes God's goodness looks like grace and mercy. Other times, His goodness allows us to experience the consequences of our choices so that we will recognize our need for Him. Affliction does not have to destroy us. In God's hands, it can lead us to repentance, restoration, and a return to His ways. If you or someone you know is struggling with the consequences of past decisions, this message is a reminder that it is never too late to humble yourself, turn to God, and follow His way.

The way of affliction- God's word will be an encouragement to us in times of affliction if it is stored up in our hearts and minds. Affliction can be a tool used by God to help get us back on the right course.

In honor of its recent 50h Anniversary, here is our newly remastered (with additional content) review of one of The Most Influential Films of the 1970's.....What can be said about one of THE most iconic movies of the past 50 years which hasn't been said already?   Well you probably know that it was directed by Martin Scorsese, one of our greatest living American filmmakers.  And you probably also know it stars the legendary Robert DeNiro in one of his most iconic roles playing Travis Bickle, the titular taxi driver.  You might also know that it was also written by the renowned writer/director Paul Shrader who would go on to craft other iconic films including American Gigolo and Affliction, along with several other collaborations with Scorsese.  You probably already have an idea that it tells the story of an Vietnam veteran, disgruntled cab driver who eventually finds himself on a mission to "clean up the streets" of mid '70's New York City in his own unique way of course. Whatever you might know regardless,  it's never a bad time to revisit this classic film which has inspired millions of imitators since its release......all pretending to be tough staring in a mirrow, uttering, "You talkin' to me??"Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Acts: The Revolution Begins With Dr. Clint Archer. Today's Sermon Is Unstoppable: Enduring Affliction For The Gospel From Acts 14:19-28. Sermon Outline - 4 Truths That Make Christians Unstoppable For The Gospel: 1. We Expect Attacks From Our Opponents 2. We Endure Setbacks Through Our Courage 3. We Encourage Others By Our Example 4. We Enjoy Victory Through Our Lord

Rememberwhat Paul had just said at the end of verse 5: “You know what manner of menwe were among you for your sake.” Their message and their manner of lifeagreed. That is important because Christianity is not simply learning a set ofdoctrines. Certainly, doctrine is essential. We must know what we believe. ButChristianity is ultimately about following a Person—the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesusrepeatedly said to His disciples, “Follow Me.”  Butthen Paul reminds us of the circumstances in which these Thessalonians receivedthe Gospel. He says they had “received the word in much affliction.” Rememberwhat happened in Acts 17. Paul came to Thessalonica and preached Christ. Somebelieved, along with a great multitude of devout Greeks and a number ofprominent women. But almost immediately opposition arose. A mob was gathered.The city was thrown into an uproar. Jason's house was attacked because Paul andSilas had apparently been staying there. Eventually Paul and Silas had to leaveThessalonica during the night. These new believers had barely begun theirChristian lives before persecution came. Think about that. They did not hear aGospel that promised them that if they trusted Christ, all their problems woulddisappear. Actually, their faith in Christ created some new problems! FollowingJesus cost them something. And yet they stayed faithful. Thatis one of the strongest evidences that something genuine had happened in theirhearts. Jesus spoke about the seed that falls on stony ground in the parable ofthe sower. Some receive the Word with joy, but when tribulation or persecutionarises because of the Word, they fall away. But that did not happen inThessalonica. Affliction came, but they continued following Christ. And then wecome to what I believe is one of the most beautiful phrases in this verse: “Withjoy of the Spirit.” Notice those two things together: Much affliction—andmuch joy. Humanly speaking, those things do not seem to belong in the samesentence. We usually think, “When the affliction is gone, then I can have joy.”“When this problem is solved, then I'll rejoice.” “When my circumstancesimprove, then I'll be happy.” But these believers teach us something veryimportant:Christianjoy does not depend upon favorable circumstances. They had affliction on theoutside, but they had joy on the inside. Why? Because their joy came from theHoly Spirit. Thisreminds us of something we learned together in Philippians. Paul wrote thatletter from prison, and yet over and over again he talked about rejoicing. Theworld gives us happiness when circumstances are good. But Jesus gives us joyeven when circumstances are difficult. There is a tremendous difference. Happinessis often determined by what is happening around us. But spiritual joy comesfrom knowing Who is living within us.Jesussaid in John 16:33, “In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of goodcheer; I have overcome the world.” He did not promise a life withouttribulation. He promised His presence and His victory in the midst of it. Maybetoday you are going through some affliction. Maybe there is a burden in yourfamily. Maybe there is a physical difficulty. Maybe you have experienceddisappointment, loneliness, financial pressure, or uncertainty about tomorrow. Thisverse does not tell us to pretend those things do not hurt. Affliction is real.But it reminds us that our affliction does not have to steal our joy. Why? Becauseour joy is not rooted in our circumstances. Our joy is rooted in Christ.

In this episode Chris returns to Opinion Scholarship on Carl Jung's infamous Red Book. We cover 3 of Jung's visions, which pick up where we left off...when Jung discovered that he and God are not distinct beings, but One. Today's visions take us into Jung's depths, where he must confront Christianity, the shackles of his own ego and the very thing he most wants to avoid--his Shadow. What a frightening thing it must be, after discovering that you and God are One, to realize that your Shadow is also God's Shadow; that God has a Shadow! The Shadow must be integrated. Enjoy ;)

Taste and See That the Lord Is Good[a] Of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.34 I will bless the Lord at all times;    his praise shall continually be in my mouth.2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;    let the humble hear and be glad.3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,    and let us exalt his name together!4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me    and delivered me from all my fears.5 Those who look to him are radiant,    and their faces shall never be ashamed.6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him    and saved him out of all his troubles.7 The angel of the Lord encamps    around those who fear him, and delivers them.8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!    Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!9 Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,    for those who fear him have no lack!10 The young lions suffer want and hunger;    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.11 Come, O children, listen to me;    I will teach you the fear of the Lord.12 What man is there who desires life    and loves many days, that he may see good?13 Keep your tongue from evil    and your lips from speaking deceit.14 Turn away from evil and do good;    seek peace and pursue it.15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous    and his ears toward their cry.16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,    to cut off the memory of them from the earth.17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears    and delivers them out of all their troubles.18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted    and saves the crushed in spirit.19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,    but the Lord delivers him out of them all.20 He keeps all his bones;    not one of them is broken.21 Affliction will slay the wicked,    and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants;    none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

The Bible declares that God works all things together for good to those who love God. The Lord will use trials that we encounter to render the fruit of endurance and strength. God can use evil that is committed against the believer for good. Affliction strips us of ourselves and drives us to the Lord and His word, positioning us where He will use us most. God can use your failure. Like Peter, having thrice denied Jesus, all of your failures can be turned to a testimony of God's grace and mercy if we will just give it to Him. Have you given all of your life to Jesus, who can make it new?

Sooner or later, everyone will suffer, and some people will suffer a great deal more than others. Have you ever wondered why God allows so much suffering in the world, and why some people seem to experience much more adversity then their fellow man? Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explains the purposes and sources of affliction in the life of a believer.
