Psalm 31 In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;     let me never be put to shame;     in your righteousness deliver me! 2 Incline your ear to me;     rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me,     a strong fortress to save me! 3 For you are my rock and my fortress;     and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me; 4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me,     for you are my refuge. 5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;     you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God. 6 I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols,     but I trust in the Lord. 7 I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,     because you have seen my affliction;     you have known the distress of my soul, 8 and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;     you have set my feet in a broad place. 9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;     my eye is wasted from grief;     my soul and my body also. 10 For my life is spent with sorrow,     and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity,     and my bones waste away. 11 Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach,     especially to my neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances;     those who see me in the street flee from me. 12 I have been forgotten like one who is dead;     I have become like a broken vessel. 13 For I hear the whispering of many—     terror on every side!— as they scheme together against me,     as they plot to take my life. 14 But I trust in you, O Lord;     I say, “You are my God.” 15 My times are in your hand;     rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors! 16 Make your face shine on your servant;     save me in your steadfast love! 17 O Lord, let me not be put to shame,     for I call upon you; let the wicked be put to shame;     let them go silently to Sheol. 18 Let the lying lips be mute,     which speak insolently against the righteous     in pride and contempt. 19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness,     which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you,     in the sight of the children of mankind! 20 In the cover of your presence you hide them     from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter     from the strife of tongues. 21 Blessed be the Lord,     for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me     when I was in a besieged city. 22 I had said in my alarm,     “I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy     when I cried to you for help. 23 Love the Lord, all you his saints!     The Lord preserves the faithful     but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride. 24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,     all you who wait for the Lord!   Key Words: Refuge, Fortress, Trust, Distress, Affliction, Times, Hand Keystone Verse: Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.

The Plea of the Afflicted (vv. 1-6, 14-22) The Hinge of Affliction (vv. 9-13; Luke 23:44-47) Theology Made Practical (Two Thieves) (Luke 23:39-43)

3 Goals: 1. To be reminded of Biblical Lament, and that God wants to hear from us and will help us in our affliction. 2. To strengthen our faith in the truthfulness of the gospel. 3. To encourage us with the hope of the gospel, and Christ's amazing love for us. What is Biblical lament? - A prayer, in pain, that leads to trust. - A journey of the heart, in faith, with God from beginning to end. The "journey" of Biblical Lament has 4 parts: Turn, Complain, Ask, and Trust 1. Turn: Turn to God in prayer, and be honest with Him about how you feel 2. Complain: Tell God your reasons for pain and confusion The "journey" of Biblical Lament has 4 parts: Turn, Complain, Ask, and Trust 3. Ask: Boldly ask God to act, according to His character and promises 4. Trust: Reaffirm Who you know God to be, and choose to trust Him The "journey" of Biblical Lament in Psalm 22: 1. Turn: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (vv. 1-2) 2. Complain: "I am scorned and despised" (vv. 3-10) "A company of evildoers encircles me" (vv. 12-18) The "journey" of Biblical Lament in Psalm 22: 3. Ask: "Be not far from me" (v. 11) "Save me!" (vv. 19-21) 4. Trust: "He has not despised the afflicted, and has not hidden his face from him, but He has heard." (vv. 22-31) Goal #2: To strengthen our faith in the truthfulness of gospel. Goal #3: To encourage us with the hope of the gospel, and Christ's amazing love for us. 1. Remember what Jesus endured for you. 2. Remember the hope of the resurrection. (Hebrews 5:7) 3. Remember that Jesus knows what it feels like to face affliction and feel like God has forsaken you. (Hebrews 4:15

It appears that reports of Paul's trials and suffering during his missionary journeys were being used to call his apostleship into question. He puts his trials into perspective. In this he also gives the Corinthians a gentle rebuke.

In THE HEADACHE: The Science of a Most Confounding Affliction-and a Search for Relief (Mariner Books; on sale 7/15/2025), veteran science journalist Tom Zeller Jr. delivers a deeply reported journey into the world of headaches-equal parts gripping memoir, cutting-edge science, and insightful exploration of what it means to live with severe, unexplained, and recurrent head pain.For decades, Zeller has battled excruciating cluster headaches, a disorder so painful it is sometimes described as "suicide headache" in the scientific literature. But instead of succumbing to despair, he used his unique skills as a journalist to dig deeper. THE HEADACHE chronicles his personal quest for answers-from experimental drug trials to groundbreaking research on brain function, and even the unexpected possibilities of psychedelic therapy. Zeller's captivating narrative explores the history of headache treatment, the science behind the nervous system, and how modern medicine is finally starting to take these conditions seriouslyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Psalm 34English Standard VersionOf 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.

Sunday, July 13, 2025 – Pastor Mike continues the series on the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God Fellowship. Today, we are exploring Fundamental 12 – which is “Divine Healing.” Earlier, it was mentioned that there are a couple of beliefs that distinctly mark our fellowship as Pentecostal: the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues is clearly one, and our belief in “Divine Healing” is another. Both of these truths affirm that the “Gifts of the Spirit” evident in the early church are still active today, just as much needed in these last days as they were in the early church’s beginnings. Divine Healing is one of those mysterious beliefs, even for the most mature and dedicated followers of Jesus, because we don’t always clearly understand what God is doing in our lives and those we love. Why does God heal some people and not others? Why do good Christian people have to suffer, while those who live without regard for God seem to avoid pain and suffering? And I’m sure you may have other questions about why God doesn’t always work in the manner or timing that we expect. We will do our best to explore what God has for us during these difficult and confusing times. Here’s what we do know – God loves us, and He is the Healer. Our role is to ask, pray, seek, and trust Him with the rest. Worship and study with us…

Sermon Notes:· Where do you find joy when the ups and downs of life are far more than you can handle?· How is your joy level?· God is calling us to embrace the life he has for us. To do that we have to embrace the darkest moments and follow him through.· The Psalms are uniquely suited to foster communion with God. They give voice to our hearts. - Dane Ortland· We often believe that if we are struggling we can't walk with God.· When we isolate we often walk further into darkness and further into shame and guilt.· David models for us how to turn his fear and shame from the darkness into the Joy of worship.· “Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.” Heading of Psalm 34· "I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips." (v.1) What happened this week that made praise difficult for you?· Vs. 2 "I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice."· What are you reflecting to the afflicted around you?· Vs, 3 "Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together."· Who can you show God's glory to this week?· Affliction doesn't disqualify us from praising—it often makes our praise more real.· "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." (v.4)· What is your greatest fear?· Vs. 5- "Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame."· One of the greatest gifts God can give to me is to change me to look more like HIM!· Radiance is God's perfect antidote for Shame.· Shame falls away when we behold the glory and grace of God.· LOOK TO HIM!· "This poor man called, and the Lord heard him. He saved Him out of all his troubles" (v.6)· What do you need God to rescue you from today?· vs. 7 "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them."· "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him." (v.8)· When we are with God, we experience real joy· What might be your next step in the darkness? (next 4 lines on one slide)· Call out to Him in the darkness.· Bring the real you before God.· Seek refuge in the Lord· Find your people· Are you living your darkest moment right now?· Have you said, “I can handle this,” instead of surrendering it to God?· Healing comes when we face darkness and behold the Lord.· He is offering you His joy in the darkness. LIFE Group Discussion QuestionsShare about a time when darkness ruled in your life.

What we do with our time is what we do with our lives. Time is a gift from God. What we do with our time can be our gift to God. If we are convinced we shall answer to God for what we did with our lives, then we should also be convinced that we must answer to Him for our time.

In these verses from Mark 1:29-38, we see Jesus exemplifying the importance of solitude and prayer in His own life. After a busy day of ministry and healing, Jesus sought out a deserted place to spend time in communion with His Father.

This weeks passage in 1 Thessalonians tells of Paul's pastoral heart for the congregation in Thessalonika. He knew they were facing persecution and feared it would cause them to backslide. He was so concerned that he sent Timothy, his right hand man, to check on them. He assured them that affliction was a normal part of the Christian life and that God used it for our good and His glory.

In Psalm 31 we learn David's afflictions were able to shake him, but they weren't able to break him. It's because he anchored his life to God. The reality is afflictions will eventually come, and you need something to anchor your life to when they do come. Pastor Louis reminds us that the only firm foundation you can anchor your life to that isn't shakable and breakable is God.

Facing adversity often feels like a daunting challenge, but what if these struggles are actually stepping stones to profound spiritual growth? On this episode of the Thinking Talmudist podcast, we examine the teachings of Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai and Rabbi Akiva, who illuminate the spiritual gifts attainable through perseverance. Rabbi Akiva's inspiring journey, beginning his Torah study at age 40 and overcoming immense hurdles, reminds us that resilience can lead to understanding and influence that transcend time. By embracing these "afflictions of love," we prepare ourselves for greater achievements and deeper connections with our spiritual heritage.Words hold immense power, shaping reality and relationships in ways we often overlook. We explore how maintaining integrity in our speech, even in the face of social discomfort, is vital for personal and communal growth. Through stories of resilience, like the collective spirit post-September 11th, we highlight how shared struggles can unite and transform communities, urging us to cultivate unity and kindness. Like the process of creating olive oil, where pressure brings forth purity, adversity can reveal our best qualities and foster an indomitable spirit within individuals and communities alike.Parenting holds the delicate power to shape a child's future through affirmation and encouragement. Drawing on Talmudic wisdom and the example of the High Priest, Aharon HaKohen, we discuss the necessity of bending the truth at times for the sake of peace and harmony. Positive reinforcement from parents can set the stage for a child's confidence and success, and we stress how expressing belief in their potential can nurture their greatness. Whether it's encouraging a child or fostering harmony among people, these affirmations are the foundation of nurturing confident, capable individuals who carry forward the legacy of resilience and integrity._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud.This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on May 16, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 6, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings reflects on David's heartfelt plea for mercy, guidance, and forgiveness, emphasizing a posture of humble dependence as he waits patiently on the Lord's unfailing kindness. The message highlights confession, trust, and the enduring hope that God leads and teaches those who fear Him.

“It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.” (Psalm 119:71) This seems like a strange testimony. Affliction is often accompanied by complaining or discouragem... More...

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings highlights how God, through Christ's own suffering, equips us with comfort in our trials so that we can extend that same compassion to others. He reminds us that sharing in both pain and consolation deepens our connection and strengthens the body of Christ.

The difficult season that drains your strength can also be the time when God's fills you with His.
