“Dad went to war last night” read Vance Boelter's text to his family in the early hours of June 14. This was sent after his shooting rampage aimed at Democratic lawmakers, which left two dead and two critically wounded. Turns out Boelter is an ordained pastor in a church associated with the New Apostolic Reformation, which sees the world as a spiritual battlefield and whose leaders have preached that political enemies are possessed by demons. This is not some small fringe movement. Key figures in the Trump administration are adherents. We revisit this apocalyptic evangelical Christian cult and consider its political violence and religious extremism.

Sermon by Jesse Cupp
Send us a textPaul the Apostle closes Colossians chapter 2 with five spiritual adherences that have been fulfilled in Christ. He calls them a "shadow." a Shadow has no substance. It is darkness. But they did serve a purpose. they pointed people to Christ. Now that we have Christ, the shadow can flee away!Sadly, the heresy of two thousand years ago is still alive and well today, even in the Christian church!

We begin our examination of the sacrament of Confirmation. Fr. Mike emphasizes that the reception of Confirmation is necessary for the completion and strengthening of baptismal grace. He also highlights the vital importance of the reception of Confirmation because it gives us the power to be a witness to God's grace on earth, just as the Apostles received that same power at Pentecost. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1285-1289. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
When Jesus introduced the new blueprint for marriage—no divorce, total monogamy—it stunned the Apostles. His vision was bold, uncompromising, and utterly countercultural. But with the power of the Holy Spirit, it's not only possible—it's transformational.Enter Father Josiah Trenham: Orthodox pastor, husband of 37 years, and father of ten. In this episode, he unpacks the divine design for marriage—why it's essential for civilization and for sanctifying your soul.

Friends, this year, the feast of Saints Peter and Paul falls on a Sunday, and I want to spend some time reflecting especially on Saint Peter. Around the year 64, Shimon Bar Yonah, a fisherman from Galilee, was put to death brutally in the Circus of Nero. But while the Roman Empire is long gone and the successor of Nero doesn't exist, the empire of this fisherman, Peter the Apostle, is everywhere, and in May, his 266th successor walked out onto the loggia of Saint Peter's Basilica, built over the very spot where he was buried.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/forgiveness-ressurectionForgiven, Raised, Alive Forever // Lifeblood // Week 9Hey New Song—so glad you're here with us today!We're wrapping up our Life Blood series by diving into the final line of the Apostles' Creed:"I believe in the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen."Today's message centers on the heart of our faith—the forgiveness of sins—and what it really means to live forgiven, walk in grace, and rest in the finished work of Jesus. We're not just talking about a religious idea… we're talking about soul-level freedom, shame-breaking truth, and the justice-loving, mercy-giving God who carried the weight we couldn't.

The church grew in such an exponential way that there arose practical concerns and needs amongst the people in Jerusalem.

The Apostles VI - Judas Iscariot - Jn. 17:12
The final statement in the Apostle’s Creed is about our future hope and the destiny of all believers. What is the Bodily resurrection? How do I get life everlasting? Join us as we explore these questions and more from God’s Word.
What is the truth about what history really reveals about how the apostles died? What did Foxes Book of Martyrs get right, and what did it get wrong? I published my Ph.D. dissertation on the deaths of the apostles in 2014, an academic book in 2015, and just completed a 1-year update (Routledge). In this video, David Wood asks me all the right questions about their fates. Enjoy...and please share!

I was raised as a cessationist. That means I was raised to believe that all miracles and revelations and spiritual gifts ENDED when Jesus ASCENDED and the New Testament was finished. Only the APOSTLES were able to access them. This means that when the last apostle died, those special abilities ceased. They were only necessary to validate Jesus and the church to help it get established, and would not be needed after that. Is that true? This study investigates that view, and you might just be surprised what Scripture actually teaches in this area. (By the way, if I was a paid preacher at most any kind of church today, WHATEVER position I took would most probably get me fired. The good news for me is that since you don't pay me you can't fire me. Therefore I am free to just teach what the BIBLE says on this.) I just want to “speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent,” but the Bible conclusions here might shock you… Part 6 focuses on miracles.

Alam mo ba na si Apostol Tomas—kilala bilang "Doubting Thomas"—ay naglakbay hanggang India upang ipalaganap ang Ebanghelyo? Sa episode na ito, tatalakayin natin ang nakamamanghang paglalakbay ni Tomas mula sa Jerusalem papuntang Silangan, ang kanyang mga misyon, mga himala, at ang kanyang pagka-martir sa India. Ang kwento ni Tomas ay patunay na ang pananampalataya ay walang hangganan—kahit sa harap ng panganib at kamatayan.

In this episode of Cinema D'Amore, hosts Chuck and Justin dive into the eerie world of Apostle, exploring its unsettling atmosphere and supernatural themes. Building on their previous discussion of The Ritual, they uncover surprising connections between the two films, highlighting director Gareth Evans' distinct shift from his action-packed Raid series to a more haunting and visually arresting narrative. The duo breaks down Apostle's chilling story, examining its kinetic camera work, gothic tone, and standout performances, especially Michael Sheen's commanding presence. With their signature blend of humor and thoughtful analysis, Chuck and Justin untangle the film's mysteries, leaving listeners to ponder the deeper horrors lurking beneath its surface.

We are told in 2 Timothy 3 verses 16 that "all Scripture has been breathed out by God". This includes the book of Revelation which is known in the Greek as 'the Apocalypse'. It was as its first verse tells us given to the Lord Jesus Christ by his Father who showed our Lord the matters "revealed" in that book. But having received those wonderful matters Jesus 'reveals' those matters via his angel through John the Apostle to all believers. In Revelation we have the only book in the Bible directly given to believers by the Lord Jesus Christ (1 verse 1) and encompassing blessings on the diligent readers (v3). It contains letters of advice in chapters 2-3 from the Lord which are portrayed in the opening vision of 1verses 9-20,. Each of the seven ecclesias in Turkey are told what's wrong with their attitude, and also they receive commendation for their successes. The 7 letters all emphasise faithful works that are necessary to please our Father and His Son. These works are seen in the faithful lives of His children as they strive to walk to the Father's kingdom guided daily by the energy drawn from the love of the Father and His Son and given to us through the Word of the Almighty. From this amalgam of instructions we are to be both warned and encouraged; in order for us to, like our Lord 'overcome' the world (2 verses 26-27) and so be blessed to inherit the Kingdom.
Today,we're continuing to look at Luke 22. We are now in the upper room on Thursdayevening with our Lord Jesus Christ and His twelve disciples. In verses 14–16, theyhave sat down at the table to eat the Passover meal with Jesus the night beforeHe will be crucified. According to John's Gospel (John 13), Jesus had risenfrom the table and washed all the disciple's feet which would have includedJudas before they went through the eating of the Jewish Passover. It is afterthis that Jesus reveals the disciple who has already betrayed Him and made adeal with the chief priest (Matthew 26:14). Ona number of occasions Jesus had already hinted to His disciples that one oftheir number was not truly with Him (John 6:66-71), but now He openly spokeabout a traitor in their midst. However, He did not do this just for the sakeof the disciples, but more for the sake of Judas. Jesus had kissed Judas andwashed his feet, and now He was giving Judas another opportunity to repent. Itis most significant that Jesus did not openly identify Judas as the traitor butin a sense had protected him until the very end. Aquestion we all ask is that if Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him, why didHe choose him in the first place? And, if somebody had to betray the Lord, whycondemn Judas? After all, he simply did God's will and fulfilled the OldTestament prophecy in Psalms 41:9; 55:12-14; 69:25; 109:8; Acts 1:15-20. Youmight remember that before Jesus chose His 12 Apostles, He spent a whole nightin prayer (Luke 6:12-16), so we must believe that it was the Father's will thatJudas be among them (John 8:29). But the selection of Judas did not seal hisfate; rather, it gave him opportunity to watch the Lord Jesus closely, believe,and be saved. God in His sovereignty had determined that His Son would bebetrayed by a friend, but divine foreknowledge does not destroy humanresponsibility or accountability. Judas made each decision freely and would bejudged accordingly, even though he still fulfilled the decree of God (Acts2:23). Thefact that the disciples were puzzled by this strange announcement reveals thatthey did not know Judas' true character, their own hearts, or the prophecies inthe Psalms. It appears that they all ask the question after Jesus made thisannouncement, “Is it I?” (Matthew 26:22-25). Nor did they remember the Lord'sstatements that He would be betrayed into the hands of the enemy (Matthew17:22; 20:18). If Peter had fully understood what was happening, he might haveused his sword on Judas! Thereis much about Judas that remains a mystery to us, and we must not speculate toomuch. Judas is certainly a witness to the sinlessness of Jesus Christ, for ifanybody could have given witness against Him, it was Judas. However, theauthorities had to find false witnesses in order to build their case againstJesus. Remember when Judas went back to the chief priest and gave them back theirmoney admitted that he had "betrayed innocent blood" (Matthew27:4). Itis at this point that Judas left the Upper Room to go to the religious leadersand get ready for the arrest of Jesus in the Garden. Judas went out "andit was night" (John 13:30), for he was obeying the prince of darkness(Luke 22:53). Jesus had said, “Woe to that man by whom He is betrayed”. That man was Judas, and for him it was night,and is still night, and always will be night! Wemust also remember that Satan can still appear as an angel of light, and like Judas,sit in our church, stand in the pulpit, serve on the leadership team, and deceiveeveryone as he destroys the church. Paul warned the church about these peoplein 2 Corinthians 11:13-15. Oneday Jesus will expose these people for who they really are! In the meantime, weshould be aware! Godbless!

He was one of the Twelve and a kinsman of the Lord according to the flesh (see Luke 6:16, Acts 1:13; according to holy Tradition, Joseph the Carpenter, before he was widowed, had four sons by his wife Salome: James, Hosea, Simon and Jude). As an Apostle, St Jude preached in Mesopotamia, Arabia and Syria, and met a Martyr's end in Beirut. He is the author of the New Testament Epistle that bears his name. His name ("Judas" in Greek, from "Judah" in Hebrew) means "praise".
What's Paul's Focus as a Leader? | Learning Leadership with the Apostle Paul, pt. 2 The focus of the leadership books, conferences and trainings of the last 25 years or so has been on organizational leadership. This has created a situation where good christian leaders are people who can grow big and impressive orgs. But for Paul the standard is different... the way he thinks and talks about leadership as a Christian is focused on developing people not organizations. Colossians 1:28-29 28 We proclaim Him, admonishing every person and teaching every person with all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete in Christ. 29 For this purpose I also labor, striving according to His power which works mightily within me. 2 Corinthians 11:2-3 2 For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his trickery, your minds will be led astray from sincere and pure devotion to Christ. Galatians 4:19-20 19 My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you— 20 but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone of voice, for I am at a loss about you! The primary metric Paul used to evaluate effective Christian leadership is people being formed into Christlikeness.
