Read OnlineFrom Sinner to SaintAs Jesus passed by, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.” Matthew 9:9Saint Matthew, whom we honor today, makes following Christ seem so simple. Jesus said, “Follow me,” and Matthew did so, leaving behind his former life and all the baggage he carried. Or did he? Though Matthew's instant response is inspiring, we should not presume that everything became easy from that moment on. When we have deeply ingrained habits of sin, it takes time and grace to root them out. But none of that healing can begin until we take the first step, which Matthew courageously did in today's Gospel.After leaving his customs post, Matthew hosted a dinner for Jesus in his home. Though his home may have been comfortable and the food rich, Matthew—like any new convert—had a long way to go. Tax collectors were despised by nearly everyone, except fellow tax collectors and those branded as sinners. The Jews saw them as traitors to both faith and nation, often barring them from synagogue and Temple worship. Their families, too, were commonly treated with contempt, sometimes even disowned. Ironically, even the Romans, for whom they collected taxes, looked down on them, as they were not true members of the Empire.This religious and social isolation inflicted deep suffering on these “sinners.” Though tax collectors may have lived outwardly lavish lives, their hearts often bore the sting of loneliness and rejection. It was into this wounded world that Jesus stepped when He encountered Matthew.The fact that Matthew followed Jesus quickly and eagerly reveals much about Matthew's inner life. He had heard of this new preacher—perhaps even whispers that He might be the Messiah—and the news had stirred something within. When this rabbi not only noticed him but spoke compassionately to him, commanding him to follow and accepting an invitation to dine in his home, it must have awakened a flood of emotion. Perhaps for the first time in years, Matthew felt something stirring within that had long been buried. Freedom, excitement, hope, and curiosity filled him, and he was willing to walk away from the past and begin anew.But conversion is not the end; it's only the beginning. Consider the weeks, months, and years that followed. Like us, Matthew likely wrestled with second thoughts. He would have struggled with guilt and shame, felt unworthy to be among Jesus' disciples, missed aspects of his old life, and faced the unfamiliar turmoil of inner transformation.For Matthew, as for all disciples, conversion is the first step. Discipleship is the ongoing journey by which the light of Heaven slowly and steadily penetrates every dark corner of our hearts. We begin to see our attachments more clearly, to understand the harm we've caused others, and to navigate the confusion that often arises when grace begins its work within.Today, we honor Saint Matthew because he kept going after that first step. The three years he spent at Jesus' side during the public ministry would have been years of profound transformation. After the Ascension, that transformation deepened as the Holy Spirit enlightened him from within, leading him to even more glorious things.Reflect today on the long and often painful journey of conversion and purification that Saint Matthew endured faithfully until the end. According to tradition, Matthew eventually traveled to the region south of the Caspian Sea—modern-day Iran or Armenia—where he gave his life in martyrdom. His most enduring legacy, however, is the Gospel he wrote. If God could use a tax collector and sinner like Matthew to do such great things, He can use each of us as well. Seek Saint Matthew's intercession. Ponder his Gospel. And pray for the grace to imitate his holy perseverance, one step at a time. Saint Matthew, when Jesus called, you followed without hesitation. Please pray for me, that I may respond to every prompting of grace as soon as it is offered. Intercede for me, that I—and all followers of Christ—may imitate your heroic journey: from sinner, wounded and isolated, to saint, dwelling forever in the glory of God's Kingdom. Jesus, call me as You called Matthew, and grant me the grace he received to follow You faithfully to the end. Jesus, I trust in You. Image: Saint Matthew the Evangelist, by Liviu Dumitrescu Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

He was born to a noble family in Maastricht (in modern-day Netherlands). When his spiritual father Bishop Theodard was killed in 671, St Lambert was elected Bishop of Maastricht despite his youth. He was loved by his flock for his holiness, ascetic labors and almsgiving, but was driven from his see in 675 after his patron King Childeric II was assasinated. He withdrew to the Monastery of Stavelot where he lived for seven years as one of the brethren, claiming no privileges despite his office. Once, getting up to pray during the night, he accidentally disturbed the monastic silence. The Abbot called out for whoever was responsible to do penance by standing barefoot in the snow before a cross outside the monastery church. In the morning the Abbot was dismayed to see the Bishop standing barefoot, covered with snow, before the cross, his face shining. The Abbot sought to apologize, but Lambert replied that he was honored to serve God like the Apostles, in cold and nakedness.   When King Pepin of Heristal took power in 681, he restored Lambert to his see, despite the Saint's desire to remain in obscurity. The holy bishop renewed his pastoral labors with vigor, visiting the most distant parishes and preaching the Gospel to the pagans who still inhabited the area, despite danger and threats. But when King Pepin put away his wife and replaced her with his concubine Alpais, St Lambert was the only Bishop who dared to rebuke him. For this he incurred the wrath of Alpais, who ordered his death. His assassins carried out their evil commission, even though they found a cross shining above the humble dwelling where he was staying.   Saint Lambert is one of the best-loved Saints of the Netherlands and Belgium, where many parish churches are dedicated to him. His relics are now in the Belgian city of Liège.

  In this episode of our Goddess series, Kathleen Joan and I explore Mary Magdalene, the woman behind the stories, her place in early Christianity, and why her presence still matters so deeply today.    Mary Magdalene was a real woman who walked the earth. She was a devoted follower and the wife of Jesus, a spiritual leader in her own right, and a powerful presence in the resurrection story. And yet, over the centuries, her role was diminished, rewritten, and in many ways pushed to the edges.    So Kathleen and I ask a different question.    What happens when we bring Mary Magdalene back into the center of the story?    We explore the woman she was, the wisdom she carried, and how she has become such a powerful expression of the Divine Feminine for women who are hungry for a deeper, fuller understanding of the sacred.    My co-host for this series is Kathleen Joan, a priestess of Brigid devoted to the resurrection of the Divine Feminine in today's world, especially for women with Christian ancestry. Kathleen spent more than 15 years in ministry and holds a dual Master's degree in theology and ministry. Today, she brings that deep understanding of the Christian tradition into her work helping women reclaim the wild, sacred Feminine through Goddess teachings, channeling, energy healing, circles, and retreats.    Like Mary Magdalene, the Feminine has been erased, softened, and minimized in so many of our sacred stories.    But she was never truly gone. This conversation is an invitation to remember her, reclaim what was pushed aside, and make room again for the sacred Feminine wisdom that has been there all along.      Episode Highlights    00:00 — Introducing Mary Magdalene Knowing Mary Magdalene from three perspectives: the stories told about her, the historical person who lived, and the spiritual presence many people continue to connect with today.  02:27 — The Apostle to the Apostles Mary Magdalene is consistently named as the first witness to Jesus' resurrection. Her role as the person who carried that news forward gives her a foundational place in the Christian story.  06:28 — How Official Religious Narratives Were Shaped The episode examines how religious authorities established official teachings centuries after Jesus' death. Many writings associated with Mary and other women were excluded, hidden, destroyed, or lost, leaving gaps in the historical record.  08:39 — The First Message of Resurrection The central Christian message of life continuing after death was first brought to the community by Mary Magdalene. Her testimony was initially dismissed, revealing how women's spiritual authority was questioned even when they carried the core message of the faith.  11:48 — Why Her Teachings Were Threatening The idea that Jesus would teach a woman profound spiritual truths challenged emerging patriarchal leadership structures. Mary's experience was questioned because it did not fit the belief that divine knowledge should be controlled by male authorities.  12:43 — Connecting with the Divine Through the Heart Mary's message emphasizes that people can access the divine through their own hearts. Spiritual connection does not necessarily require an external institution to define or authorize the experience.  18:01 — Reclaiming the Feminine Story Mary's message focuses on correcting the narrative around her and restoring the feminine presence in sacred traditions.   20:23 — Seeing the Feminine in the Divine The divine is described as far more expansive than a solely male figure.   23:19 — Passion as Spiritual Power Passion, devotion, and deep feeling are described as spiritual powers that connect people with their loved ones, their souls, and the divine.  24:23 — The Divine Power of Devotion Love is framed as a force that lives within the body, heart, and whole human experience. Devotion can help keep wisdom and connection alive even through loss and separation.     Mentioned  Wild Wisdom Goddess Temple is Kathleen's online circle where Christian-rooted women reclaim their whole selves as sacred through the Divine Feminine. This 13-moon journey will help you return to honoring the Sacred She within as you meet Her in Her many names & forms, supported by a loving circle of sisterhood.  The Wealthy Witch Way is Julie's membership. Inside we weave together money work, magic, ritual, the Akashic Records, and feminine business wisdom to help you deepen your connection to Source, expand your receiving, and grow the work you're here to do profitably.    Connect with Kathleen Joan    Website: https://www.brigidsflame.org/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathleenjoanns   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brigidsflameministry   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@brigidsflame-kj     Connect with Julie Foucht     Membership:  https://juliefoucht.com/wealthywitchway/  Website: https://juliefoucht.com/   Quiz: https://bit.ly/witchpreneur-quiz  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artoffemininebusiness/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JulieFouchtCoaching/   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FeminineMarketingMagic/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JulieFoucht   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachjulz/  Podcast: The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht at https://juliefoucht.com/podcast/    

In this episode of the Evangelism Podcast, I interview Apostle Ben Okello, an apostle, a pastor and an evangelist from Homa Bay. This city is one of the poorest cities in Kenya with the highest rate of HIV AIDS but now the Gospel had brought significant transformation. 26 years ago, Ben started his church with five people and has since grown his congregation to thousands. He has planted churches, and conducted crusades across the Lake Victoria region, including Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi. Today we talk about how the Gospel is more powerful than witchcraft.

What if Scripture sounded as though Peter, Paul, and John had stepped into the room? In this episode, biblical dramatist Lester Smith shares how a life-changing accident redirected his theatrical ambitions for Hollywood into ministry. Through his ministry, Return of the Apostles, he presents memorized books of the Bible with clarity, emotion, and reverence. Lester explains how he memorized more than 1,000 verses, why entire biblical letters affect listeners differently, and how he remains faithful to the text. He also offers practical memorization advice and recounts an unforgettable encounter demonstrating how vividly presented Scripture can still lead people to Jesus Christ today. Lester turned his theatrical gifts into a unique presentation style built on memorized books of the Bible and delivered with a conviction that God still uses dramatic action to communicate truth. Inviting Lester to your group or church will not disappoint!

BIOCROSS Men of Valor Interview With Apostle John E. Ross

ACTS 6:1-7 - SPIRIT & WISDOM - BRIAN SUMNER - 2026ACTS 6:1-7  "In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews[ among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them 4 and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

Welcome to the third Messianic Checkpoint! Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike to introduce the Gospel of Matthew and explain what makes this gospel unique, such as its emphasis on joining the call of Christ as his disciple, sharing the things we've learned during this journey with others in our lives. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

One of the most tragic realities in modern Christianity is that many do not truly understand the Old Testament. Too often, it gets neglected and treated as an optional preamble to the New Testament. However, this collection of books, written over centuries and centuries, informed not only Jewish belief and practice but also pointed to the coming Messiah. These scriptures provided the foundation from which Jesus taught and the Apostles drew extensively. One of the core problems, I think, is that we fail to see the Old Testament narrative as our story. The people seem so distant and different from us, the circumstances almost alien, and the stories and characters confusing. We can, sadly, sometimes be a people with amnesia. An individual who can't access their memories changes; their personality and moods often aren't what they once were. Similarly, our biblical amnesia can mean that we start to change; our spiritual personality is off-center. Sandra Richter, an Old Testament scholar, puts it this way when addressing the consequences of us not understanding this part of Scripture. The first, and to me most heartbreaking, [problem] is that most Christians have not been taught that the Old Testament is their story. This has the consequence that, The Church does not know who she is, because she does not know who she was. I bring this up because this twelfth chapter of Hebrews contains some important, but often difficult, applications. If we dont understand where the author is coming from, we can misunderstand and misapply the principles this chapter gives us. So, I think it would be good to take stock of where weve come from. While we walk through Hebrews 12 together, please keep this in the back of your mind; you are in this story too. To make sure that we are grounded and ready for the applications this passage has in store for us, we need to do some review. Hebrews was originally written as a letter, potentially as a transcription of a sermon, to Jewish Christians in the middle of the 1st century. It was written primarily to show four things: Jesus is preeminent above all things Jesus is the fulfillment of Gods promises Jesus established a new and better covenant Offer a warning against falling away from Jesus Said a different way: Jesus is better than anything, because He is God Therefore, Jesus could fulfill all of Gods promises Therefore, Jesus satisfied the old covenant and made a better one Therefore, we should cling to Jesus because He is our only hope Remember how this letter opens. It starts by pointing to just how much better Jesus is. 1:1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. (Heb 1:1-3a) Ultimately, Jesus is better than everything else because He is God. He radiates Gods glory and is the exact imprint of His nature. The universe was created through Him and is upheld by Him. The letter then goes on to unpack how Jesus is better than anything else the Hebrew people have encountered as the chosen people of God. Were going to fly through this, but please refer back to Shauns sermons if youd like to dive deeper into any of these. According to the text, Jesus is better than: The prophets (1:1-3) The angels (1:4-14; 2:5-9) Moses (3:1-6) The Land of Promise and Joshua (4:1-8) The Sabbath Rest (4:8-13) The Levitical Priesthood (4:14-5:6; 7) The Old Covenant (8:1-13) The Tabernacle and Temple (9:1-10) The Sacrificial System (9:11-10:18) Thats quite a list! And I want us to pause and recognize how revolutionary this was for the people of the time. This would be similar to somebody coming into our church and saying, Im better than Calvin or Luther. In fact, Im greater than Paul, John, Matthew, and the rest of the apostles. I am better than a church service. Even more, Im elevated above baptism and the Lord's Supper. I know Wyomingites can be a reserved bunch, but Im pretty sure there would be a riot. When Jesus stepped into history, was born of a virgin, died a criminals death, and then rose in grand victory, He defied all 1st-century Jewish expectations of the Messiah and, indeed, the entire notion of what it meant to be Gods people. But it goes even further! The author of Hebrews not only gives us this grand language about Jesus being really awesome (thats a technical theological word, by the way), but also explains how Jesus fulfills Gods promises made in prophecy. No other New Testament book has a higher density of Old Testament quotations than Hebrews. The author constantly points back to the prophets who promised a Messiah to save both Israel and the world. We see that Jesus would: Become incarnate as a human (2:5-8) Be a priest outside of the Levitical priesthood (5:6) Establish a new covenant (8:6-12) Do away with the sacrificial system (10:5-7) Die on a cross (12:2) These are just a few examples, but they get us to the heart of the matter. The author is trying to get his audience to see that Jesus is the one theyve been waiting for, the one of promise. He lived the perfect and sinless life that they could not, and yet died the death that they deserved. Put in more personal terms, Jesus lived the perfect and sinless life that I cannot, and yet He died the death that I deserve. This gave Him the ability to satisfy the Old Covenant on our behalf, pay our penalty, and then rise to new life, conquer death, and make a way for us to enter again into the presence of God. Hebrews tells us of this new covenant. 6 But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. ... 12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more. 13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. (8:6-7, 12-13) Brothers and sisters, there could be no better news than this. Because of Jesus, our sins are no longer remembered, and we receive Gods mercy. We no longer stand condemned by the Law, but have been restored to a relationship with the living God. Remember, this is the story of all Gods people. Try as we might to live up to the Law, we cannot. But Jesus did. And then He ushered in a new covenant. But we must be careful, however. The author also has warnings for us. You can hear this writer's pleading to his readers in the opening of the second chapter. 2:1 Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, 4 while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. (Heb 2:1-4) Pay attention! the author is shouting. Dont drift away! Look at what happened in Israels past when they walked away from God and tried to forge their own path. Remember the golden calf. Remember the exile in Babylon. Jesus rose and spoke to us! Hear how many people testified about what they saw. Remember the miracles. We have a better covenant now! Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Consider what happened to those who ignored the old covenant. What will happen to us now if we neglect the better covenant? We still hear the author's plea nearly 2,000 years later. Dont let go. Whatever you do, dont let go of Jesus. You can write this progression of thought as a formula. Remember it; I promise it will be important later on. Jesus is better

2 Corinthians 12:11-21 September 13, 2026 AM.We completed last week's notes, focusing this time on Paul's hesitancy about the upcoming visit to Corinth. Things were very awkward between Paul and the church because of serious sins being committed there. He again implicitly calls them to repent and we reminded ourselves of God's mercy to cleanse and restore any sinner who turns to him in repentant faith. God is very kind and gracious!

Rosh Hashanah is not a history lesson but a set of faith formulas the Jewish people have carried for thousands of years, all pointing at one thing: a good, sweet, victorious year. Our calendar is winding down; God's calendar is just getting started, and tradition holds that Adam himself was formed on this day, so the God who formed a man out of dust can form something out of what looks like nothing in your life. Eight keys carry the year: it is not over, crown Him first and He crowns you back, believe for a sweet year, take your position as the head and not the tail, walk in freedom from everything that needs to be torn, cut off, removed and ended, declare abundance and increase, expect new fruit, and open your mouth, because in 5787, the decade of Peh and the year of Zayin, silence was never the weapon God gave you. The passage that opens this feast does not end with a sound; it ends with an offering. Rosh Hashanah was never a spectator's holiday. It was always a giver's holiday.

TO THE END OF THE EARTH: A Sermon Series Through the Book of Acts–––––––––––––Jesus called them, taught them, and prepared them. But would the Apostles and the early church be able to continue the work without Him? The Book of Acts tells the story of how the Holy Spirit empowered the church to spread the gospel. Through His power and the faithful obedience of the people, Christianity exploded, spreading from Jerusalem to the end of the earth. Two thousand years later, the mission is still ours. We must continue to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world. Please join on this amazing and challenging journey! –––––––––––––Message Focus: Jesus called His first disciples to leave everything and follow Him because He wanted to include them in His Kingdom work.

2 Corinthians 12:11-21 September 6, 2026 AM.Paul wraps up the defense he has been offering, in which we see that Paul is not merely defending himself as if he is irked that his name has been run through the mud. His personal reputation is by far secondary to the apostolic office invested in him by Jesus Christ and the gospel message that comes with it. His defense is of the Lord's work in and through him. He has made his whole appeal to the church “before God” and “in Christ” with the purpose to build them up. And even though Paul was an apostle, he was willing to sacrifice himself for the spiritual benefit of the Corinthians.

Sunday Morning Service Series - A Series covering the Book of Romans: Today we cover Romans 7: 7-14, Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde! Romans is a theological letter written by Paul the Apostle explaining the gospel and how God saves humanity through grace by faith in Jesus Christ. It teaches that all people—both Jews and Gentiles—are sinners in need of salvation, and that righteousness comes not through the law but through faith in Christ. The letter also calls believers to live transformed lives marked by humility, unity, love, and obedience to God.

A Rule of Faith | 1: What Do We Believe?For generations, the Apostles' Creed has helped Christians put words to the central truths of our faith. Our hope in this series is not simply to better understand what we believe, but to allow those truths to shape how we live.As we return to these ancient words together, may the good news at the heart of our faith become even more central in your life.Teaching Text: 1 Corinthians 15:1-7Preached by Paul Khochay

Paul relates everything to Christ crucified, including his own ability to preach. How else could he promote faith that boasts in God's power?

Like the apostles themselves, the life of the Christian is a call to be close to Jesus and to go out and spread the Good News.  Holiness and apostolate are two sides to the same divine vocation.   To be an apostle, however, we have to confront various obstacles which would keep us from sharing Christ with others.

Good Morning ARISE Family! The Prophetic Winds Of Superabundance Are Blowing. The Lord Has A Word For Us This Morning. Remember, LEAVE NOTHING ON THE TABLE!   God Bless

Skillet's John and Korey Cooper just described spiritual abuse they endured at an NAR church. Unfortunately, their story shapes a pattern showing up in many churches across the country. Josh, Michael and Michael will speak with a former elder of the Cooper's church to understand what happened and learn how to better recognize spiritual abuse. ABOUT THIS EPISODE:John and Korey Cooper recently sat down for a long, detailed interview on Alisa Childers' YouTube channel (link to full episode below) and described what they say happened inside Korey's lifelong church. Leadership they'd trusted for decades had quietly embraced New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) theology. When the Coopers began asking direct theological questions, they say the response wasn't a proper answer. Instead, it was pressure, prophetic words used against people close to them, and warnings that leaving would cost them God's blessing.In reviewing the Coopers' story, Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, and Michael Rowntree will walk through what the New Apostolic Reformation actually teaches about apostolic authority, why "sound doctrine" so easily gets redefined once a leader claims that kind of role, and why asking a direct question about a church's beliefs should never be treated as rebellion. We'll look at where this movement's theology runs into what Scripture actually says about who qualifies to lead (1 Timothy 3, Titus 1:9), who the church is actually built on (Ephesians 2:20), and whether any leader, even a real apostle, is above correction (Galatians 1:8).Join us to better understand the Coopers' story and learn how to spot spiritual abuse before it costs you.ALISA CHILDERS' INTERVIEW:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GwayjaKqfQ 0:00 – Introduction 2:13 – Caleb's Background Story 3:20 – Reacting to Cooper Interview 9:36 – Church Structure Overview 15:12 – VNC Course Explained 18:23 – Apostles as Foundation Doctrine 27:47 – Caleb's Theological Journey 33:35 – Relational Leverage and Control 39:24 – Darvo Text and Gaslighting 44:07 – Right vs Wrong Loyalty 50:41 – Isolation and Matthew 18 58:00 – Gossip vs Slander Defined 1:06:35 – Third-Party Investigation Findings 1:11:24 – False Visions Red Flags 1:16:11 – Hope and Healing After  Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

ACTS 5:12-32 - OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MAN - BRIAN SUMNER - 2026ACTS 5:12-32 "And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's Porch. 13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.Imprisoned Apostles Freed17 Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with indignation, 18 and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. 19 But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”21 And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. But the high priest and those with him came and called the council together, with all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.Apostles on Trial Again22 But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported, 23 saying, “Indeed we found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing outside before the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside!” 24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they wondered what the outcome would be. 25 So one came and told them, saying, “Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, 28 saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man's blood on us!”29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. 31 Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW
