Where do we draw the real borders of the Christian faith—and how do we stop calling every disagreement “heresy”? We open with a simple map: some doctrines are state lines where family can differ, while others are national borders that define the gospel itself. From there, we get practical about discernment, separating theological essentials from ministry methods so we stop breaking fellowship over style and start uniting around mission.We walk through classic flashpoints with clarity and care. Calvinism and Arminianism? Both sit within historic orthodoxy, even as they debate God's sovereignty and human responsibility. Mormonism's familiar vocabulary with foreign definitions? That crosses the border by redefining Jesus and salvation. Catholicism's complex system? Many trust Christ and are saved, yet its most consistent soteriology clashes with the finished work of Christ. The goal isn't scoring points; it's identifying when the foundation shifts from grace through faith in Christ to something else.We also tackle the messy middle where most people live: biblical illiteracy, borrowed talking points, and sincere but misguided convictions. That's where patient correction matters. Like Priscilla and Aquila with Apollos, we open the Bible, strengthen what's weak, and watch for fruit over time. Jesus told us to test teachers by their fruit, not their flair. So we address spiritual malpractice—manufactured “prophecy,” platform-driven hype—and explain why public wolves require public rebuke, while confused brothers need fatherly guidance, community, and discipleship.Finally, we caution against rushing to endorse celebrity conversions. Hope is good; haste is not. The Gamaliel test—wait and see—keeps us anchored while we pray for lasting repentance and steady obedience. Our charge is simple: be Bereans, surround yourself with wise mentors, keep the Bible as final authority, repent quickly when corrected, and draw strong borders around the gospel while keeping generous state lines where Scripture allows faithful disagreement.If this conversation helped you think more clearly about truth and charity, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend who loves theology and hates hot takes.Send a textSupport the show

We zijn er weer. Na een kerst-nieuwjaars-bluemonday-en-dryjanuary break zijn we weer terug. En we waren nog bezig met Paulus. Paulus gaat door. En in deze aflevering besluit hij de boel om te gooien. En aan het einde komt er een mysterieus figuur om de hoek kijken die doet wat Paulus niet lijkt te lukken.

Daar leerde hij Aquila kennen, een Jood uit Pontus, die kort daarvoor met zijn vrouw Priscilla uit Italië was gekomen omdat Claudius had bevolen dat alle Joden Rome moesten verlaten. Paulus bracht hun een bezoek, en omdat ze hetzelfde ambacht uitoefenden als hij – ze waren leerbewerker van beroep – trok hij bij hen in en ging bij hen werken. [...]

Love, Actually – Week 2: What Your Marriage Is Missing Texts: Acts 18:1–3; Romans 16:3–5Most marriages don't implode. They drift.In Week 2 of Love, Actually: The Love That Restores, Pastor Kevin explores what quietly erodes relationships—and what actually strengthens them. Looking at the marriage of Priscilla and Aquila in Acts 18 and Romans 16, this message reveals that healthy relationships are built not just on chemistry, but on shared mission and strong community.Marriage was never meant to be two people isolated on an island. It was designed as a covenant inside a people. When couples drift into maintenance mode or isolation, even small tensions grow heavy. But when relationships are anchored in shared direction and surrounded by wise community, love strengthens instead of strains.This message speaks to married couples, singles, and those dating—offering practical wisdom, hope, and a Gospel-centered reminder that Jesus belongs at the center of every relationship.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

In this pastoral message from “Co-Workers, Servants, and Friends – Romans 16:1–16”, Pastor Jim Schultz walks us through the often-overlooked closing chapter of the book of Romans. What may seem like a simple list of names becomes a beautiful portrait of Christian love, unity, and faithful service.From Phoebe's generous support and servant leadership, to the courageous partnership of Prisca and Aquila, we see that every believer has a meaningful role in God's kingdom. Pastor Jim reminds us that what matters most is not how we serve, but that we serve—working hard in the Lord with sincere love for one another.This sermon encourages us to embrace our place in the body of Christ, celebrate the diversity of the church, and cultivate deep, gospel-shaped friendships. As we near the end of Romans, may we be inspired to live as faithful co-workers, humble servants, and beloved friends for the glory of Christ.

Healthy, loving community doesn't happen by accident—it's built through devotion, sacrifice, and Christ-centered relationships. In Romans 16:3, Paul honors Priscilla and Aquila as faithful co-workers. In Acts 18, we see their lives intertwined with Paul and the early Church. And in John 15:9, Jesus gives the foundation for it all: “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.”This message, “Keys to a Loving Community,” reveals the biblical patterns that create strong, life-giving relationships among God's people. True community grows when love is practiced, shared, and rooted in Christ—not convenience or preference.

Romans 16:1-27 | Ed Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from February 1, 2026. Paul's goodbye is a portrait of a living church: he honors co-laborers like Phoebe (a servant/deacon) and the couple Priscilla and Aquila, highlighting a gospel culture that values women, hospitality, and partnership. He urges unity and vigilance, then promises that “the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet,” framing everything in the grace of Christ. Paul reminds believers that God is able to establish us by the gospel—the once-hidden mystery now revealed to all nations: salvation through Jesus by grace through faith. The closing doxology lifts all glory to the only wise God and calls the church to respond with obedience of faith. In short: receive one another, contend for unity, depend on daily grace, and live on mission in confidence that God is in control. - Ed Rea - Sunday, February 1, 2026

Ephesians 4:11-13 “Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. He said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.'” – Matthew 9:35-38  NLT   “like sheep without a shepherd” – Mark 6:34  1 Kings 22:17  Ezekiel 34:5  Zechariah 10:2 Jesus to Peter, “Feed my sheep / Shepherd my sheep.” – John 21:15-17  CSB Jesus loves us. Jesus gives us gifts. Spiritual gifts given by Jesus, not to be limited (There is no prescribed formula or “gift mix” for any particular office, as God uses different people in different ways in each of these five ministries Christ has given.), not to be confused with gifts given by Father God listed in Romans 12:6-8, or gifts given by God the Holy Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10. “And he (Jesus) himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God's Son, growing into maturity with a stature measured by Christ's fullness.” – Ephesians 4:11-13  CSB Ephesians 4:11-13 with context of Ephesians 4:1-16. Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors/Teachers: Jesus' agape love = motivation and evaluation. A person who functions in a particular way for the purpose: “Jesus gives some a gift for ___ and equipping each of us to be active in ___.” Equipping – making, preparing, training, perfecting, making fully qualified for service, (in classical language the word was used to describe setting a bone during surgery – The Great Physician is now making all the necessary adjustments so the church will not be “out of joint”) Shepherds – one who is responsible for the care and guidance of a Christian congregation “pastor or minister” Pastors – Care-giving leadership Shepherd understanding from: Psalm 23, Ezekiel 34, Luke 2:8-20, John 10:7-18, Luke 15:4-7, Hebrews 13:20, 1 Peter 5:1-5, Acts 20:28, “In Ephesians 4:11 there are four classes of person, not five, for the last class involves two complementary roles, pastor and teacher, in other words, to guide and help a congregation as well as to teach.” – Louw & Nida Greek – English Lexicon Teachers – feeders Teacher – one who explains or shows how to do something, one who provides/imparts instruction, 70 times Jesus is referred to as a teacher. “You have one Teacher…one Instructor, the Messiah.” – Jesus in Matthew 23:8-10  CSB  (teaching disciples humility when they lead, in contrast to the Pharisees) Biblical – a spiritual leader who explains God's Word, guides believers into spiritual maturity, equips them for ministry, and models Christ-likeness, acting as a conduit for divine truth to build up the church and lead people to obedience and worship. This role involves diligent study, sound doctrine, discipleship, and fostering growth. In the New Testament, this includes the apostles, Paul, Barnabas, Apollos, Priscilla, Aquila, and Timothy. Paul – 1 Timothy 2:7  2 Timothy 1:11  Teachers recognized in Antioch, Acts 13:1. Elders/pastors are required to be able to teach the local church, in 1 Timothy 3:2 and Titus 1:9. How would we describe the pastor-teachers mentioned in Ephesians 4:11? Jesus-following, care-giving, feeding, serving leaders, equipping the local church members for the work of the ministry, growing into great spiritual maturity, stability, and ability to refute deceptive narratives. Leading you to a place that you may not have been able to arrive at on your own. If Jesus gives good gifts, for his purpose and our benefit: What are pastors? What are pastors NOT? What is the purpose of our interactions with pastors? …according to Ephesians 4:1-16 What should we do? 1.       Read Ephesians 3:14-21 and 4:1-16. 2.       Pray, asking God for guidance. 3.       Think about what we are reading. 4.       Write down elements of God's purpose for us. 5.       Write down ways in which we should interact.

Greet also the church that meets at their house. — Romans 16:5 Paul was a traveling preacher on mission for the Lord Jesus, and Priscilla and Aquila welcomed him to stay and work with them (see Acts 18). They knew the importance of the gospel and were willing to do what it took to help share God's love in their community. Priscilla and Aquila offered genuine hospitality and were not afraid to open their home to others so that the good news of Jesus could be preached. And when Paul greets many of his friends in Romans 16, he calls on them to greet the church that met in Priscilla and Aquila's home. We need to pay attention when God gives us people to share with. They might be tired and worn out, needing rest and a listening ear, or they might be eager and needing direction for something God has been preparing them to do. Not long ago, at an event where I was speaking, an older woman came up to me and said, with a twinkle in her eye, “It's your fault.” I wasn't sure what she meant, but she explained that at another gathering about a year earlier, I had told a story that had inspired her. She then began opening her home for a weekly Bible study that is now blossoming in her neighborhood. I am not sure if she would consider herself a person of peace, but I suspect that Jesus does. In what ways have you been encouraged to step out and risk doing something new for the sake of the gospel?  Thank you, God, for opportunities to show hospitality and to share your love with others. Help us to be a voice of encouragement to all. Amen

C'è stato un tempo in cui l'Egitto ha avuto un ruolo determinante per il commercio mediterraneo. Per ben 450 anni Il Cairo fu l'epicentro economico del Mediterraneo. La sua economia interna era tra le più sviluppate del tempo. Siamo in pieno Medioevo e l'Egitto era una sorta di enorme centrale energetica, alimentata dalla straordinaria millenaria energia del fiume Nilo. La solidità della produzione e della domanda egiziana era tale che senza l'Egitto difficilmente si sarebbe potuta creare una rete mediterranea di qualsiasi tipo. L'economia dell'Egitto era certamente la più stabile e, per molti versi, la meglio documentata del Mediterraneo dell'XI secolo. Del resto, la complessità dell'economia egiziana era stata una caratteristica costante della storia del Mediterraneo, già nel mondo classico e anche molto prima. Ma nel Medioevo e per qualche tempo dopo, acquisì un ruolo ancor maggiore per la strutturazione degli scambi mediterranei di quanto non lo fosse stata in epoca romana. Ne parliamo prendendo spunto da una lezione che il medievista Amedeo Feniello ha tenuto l'11 gennaio 2026 all'Auditorium Parco della Musica di Roma dal titolo "Cairo 969 d.C. Una nuova capitale per l'impero Fatimide". Amedeo Feniello insegna Storia medievale all'Università dell'Aquila.

Samuel J. Aquila, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Denver, joins Dan for two segments to discuss his recent public comments on the issue of immigration in the United States, along with our nation's right to enforce its own borders against the influx of illegal aliens by the Trump administration.

In this episode of the Rokcast, Jaden Bales sits down with Aquila Brown, a BC hunter who flat-out earned a monster timber giant mule deer the hard way. This wasn't some glass-a-basin-and-pick-a-buck hunt. This was thick, steep, nasty timber on an over-the-counter tag, with almost no visibility and plenty of pressure. Aquila spent close to 20 days scouting and hunting one specific buck and made the decision early that he was either killing that deer or eating the tag. We dig into how he hunted mule deer where glassing barely works. Trail cameras became his eyes in the woods, snow tracks kept him in the game, and still-hunting was the only real way to make something happen. Aquila breaks down how slow is actually “slow enough,” how he handled missing the buck by hours or a couple hundred yards, and why believing the deer was still there mattered more than anything. If you hunt dark timber, pressured OTC units, or country that just feels hopeless most days, this episode will hit home. It all comes together on the very last day of the season with a fast, offhand shot through a tiny opening in the trees. We talk about passing good bucks late in the season, trusting the process, and what it feels like when everything finally clicks after weeks of grinding. This is a real look at killing a giant mule deer on purpose, not by luck, and why sometimes the hardest hunts are the ones that stay with you forever.

In diesem Gottesdienst schauen wir auf die Liebesgeschichte von Priscilla und Aquila – einem Paar, das zeigt, wie stark eine Beziehung werden kann, wenn sie nicht nur um sich selbst kreist. Ihre Ehe ist geprägt von einer gemeinsamen Vision, Gott zu dienen und andere im Glauben zu stärken. Priscilla und Aquila ziehen am selben Strang, öffnen ihr Leben und ihr Zuhause für andere und prägen damit die Kirche ihrer Zeit. Ihre Geschichte lädt uns ein zu entdecken, wie Beziehungen wachsen, wenn sie auf einer gemeinsamen Ausrichtung und einem gemeinsamen Auftrag basieren.

Big Idea: God strengthens His church through ready and receptive disciples   Disciples that strengthen the church are: 1. Ready  (v.18-23) 2. Humble (v.24-26) 3. Receptive (v.27-29)   Discussion Questions:  1. What does Paul's “strengthening” ministry show us about discipleship? 2. What stands out about how Priscilla and Aquila correct Apollos? How can we apply this in our life?  3. How can you stay teachable—even if you're experienced, gifted or knowledgeable? 4. What do verses 27-28 teach us about churches helping and sending each other? How can we better partner with local gospel-preaching ministries?

John 13:36-14:4,36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.” 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”Let not your hearts be troubled. The text was chosen months ago. And your pastors believe it was chosen before the foundation of the world for this church, on this Sunday, January 25, 2026.“Let not your hearts be troubled.” (John 14:1)Has your heart been troubled this week?Pastor Jonathan talked last week about Jesus giving his disciples both a new commission — that we love one another — and a new location. For the first time, these men were going to follow Jesus in a world without Jesus. A world without Jesus. We know that kind of world, don't we? Most weeks, we live out there in a world without Jesus, and we see and feel his absence in all kinds of ways… Some of you were deeply troubled long before last Sunday — you've been staring down serious financial trouble. Or stubborn marriage trouble. Or sudden health trouble. Or heartbreaking trouble with your kids. All this might feel small compared to what weighs on you most right now. I know because we pray for you as pastors. You have laid in bed at night and wondered, Jesus, where are you? Why would you leave me here, to deal with this?Every week, we live out there in a world without Jesus. And then once a week, we come together here, and it feels like he's really here… He is of course here, we all know that. We say it at the end of every service, Matthew 28:18-20,“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations. . . . And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”He was with us last Sunday, and he's with us this Sunday, and if he doesn't return, he'll be with us next Sunday, whatever comes. He'll never leave us or forsake us… And yet we can't see him. But when we come together like this, it's almost like we can — the singing, the preaching, the praying, the one-anothering — this gathering pulls his throne back down out of the clouds for an hour or two, just long enough for us to run back in and spend 6 days facing all the things that trouble us. And then, last week, the trouble broken in and interrupted even that. Or did it? It's true that the service we had planned didn't immediately continue as planned, that a scene unfolded that none of us wanted to witness much less experience, but as I watched it all happen, standing right over there, Jesus was so real in the chaos. Jesus was really real. He was real in you.One mom injured herself rushing another family out of the Sanctuary. More moms quickly getting our kids to the safest part of the building. Men like Pastor Mike and the other Pastor Mike and Ben and Tommy and Eli and Warren and others quickly standing to shield others and calmly but firmly surround the protestors. Our people engaging the aggression with calmness, kindness, and truth. Attempting to talk and reason with them. Praying for them, and even with one or two of them. Pastor Jonathan, with mics shoved in his face, responding with Jesus and Jesus and more of Jesus. We're here to worship Jesus! And then since Sunday, you haven't stopped. Every day, sometimes hour by hour, we've watched dozens of you rise to meet some need.I've talked to a number of you now who have gone to visit immigrants in our church community who are hurting and afraid, bringing food and Scripture to strengthen them.You keep stepping up, each in your own way, to comfort one another, to feed one another, to protect one another, to pray for one another.We heard in the sermon last Sunday:“They will know you are my disciples by the way you love one another.”And, brothers and sisters, the whole world knows we worship Jesus because of how you loved one another last Sunday.But last Sunday was troubling — the state of our city is deeply troubling. And the sermons of the last couple months are helping me process the trouble. Just a few verses before we get to verse 1, we heard, John 13:21,“After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.'”What does that mean? It means it's not always wrong to be troubled. There is an unholy troubled — an unholy anxiety, an unwillingness to trust God. May God guard us from that. But Jesus knew Judas was going to betray him, he knew why he was going to die, he knew he was going to rise from the dead, he knew he was saving the world from their sins — and he was still troubled. It's not always wrong to be troubled.And so, when Jesus says to his disciples here, with his own heart troubled by Judas, “Let not your hearts be troubled,” I don't think this is mainly fatherly correction — “Boys, stop being so worried and upset about all of this.” He's certainly not afraid to confront and correct them (in fact, he corrects Peter right here in these verses), but that's not the tone here. No, this isn't mainly fatherly correction; this is fatherly encouragement for battle. They needed courage to face the trouble ahead, and a good father knows how to give courage in moments like these. These men have good reasons to be troubled, and he's reminding them they have even better reasons to trust him and take heart. And he gives us reasons right here in these verses.My three main points are questions:How could he leave?Where did he go?How do we get to him?1. How Could He Leave?Before I get to how Jesus strengthens his friends, we need to try and feel their trouble with them. We all know the things we're troubled about — I know what's troubling me — but what was troubling them? I'm thankful that we put the end of John 13 with the beginning of 14. John 13:36, our first verse, helps define the trouble for us:“Simon Peter said to him, ‘Lord, where are you going?'”It's a little hard for us to put ourselves in their shoes, isn't it? They were desperate for a savior, for a king to come and conquer Rome. And they really believed this was their king. He's here. And now this is the moment. We're going up to Jerusalem again, but now we have the promised Messiah, the king, the champion. We're going up there and we're going to win. This time's going to be different. We don't have to live in a world without our king anymore.And then as they gird up their loins and prepare for battle, the Messiah says, “Actually, I'm going to leave you now.” What! It felt like their savior was leaving right when they needed saving. . . . The wine at the wedding, and the bread and fish in the dessert, and even raising Lazarus from the dead, that's all amazing, but we need you now, Jesus. Like, none of that means anything if you don't come through for us now. You're supposed to be the one who delivers us. . . . And now you're deserting us? You're leaving us to try and live here, without you?Now, we know where he's going, and so we want to say, “Hey Peter, relax, it's going to be alright. He's going to die and rise. You're going to win — like really, really win.” But we do the same thing they're doing, don't we? We might not get in Jesus's face like Peter did, but we ask the same questions — we do if we're human anyway. Some of you were asking verse 36 questions this week. Jesus, you're just going to leave us here — with this? Jesus, why did you have to leave? If you loved us, why would you let us go through all this without you? You were already here! You could have just stayed and made all of this right by now. How could you leave?How could he leave? He had to leave. The question we should ask is: Where did he need to go? And that's really what these next verses are about.2. Where Did He Go?“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?”Where was Jesus going when he left his disciples behind? He says he was going to his Father's house, and he was going to prepare a place for them, for us.He's talking about heaven, the place where God dwells. That's where he was going. But why did he call heaven “the Father's house”? . . . The Bible doesn't talk this way about heaven a lot. I think Jesus calls heaven a house at this particular moment, right before intense suffering and opposition, because he wanted them to know that heaven isn't just a shelter for forgiven believers — no more sin, no more fear, no more tears. That would be an improvement on these cities. That would be an improvement on any city. It's certainly better than eternal destruction in hell. No, Jesus wanted these men to know, in the face of great danger, that heaven is more than a shelter; it's a home — it's a place where you belong, where you're loved, where you feel safe. It's a place for family. The heaven Jesus bought for you is a home — and don't you want a new home? Don't you want to be a part of that kind of family? You might think you have a great home, in a great part of town, hemmed in by great neighbors, but even there you're hit with waves of heartache and temptation and uncertainty. Because of sin and all the horrible consequences of sin, we all want to go home. We're all out of place here. And some of us feel that more than others. You feel very, very far from home here. Jesus is going to say in just a few verses, “I will not leave you as orphans . . . ” (John 14:18). I'm going to provide a home for you. A place to belong. A place to be loved. A place where you are fully and finally safe.And in that house, he says, there are many rooms. Why did he say that? Because he wants us to know that there's plenty of room.“For God so loved the world that he sent his only Son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).Heaven isn't going to be like the inns in Bethlehem when Christ first came. No, there's always room in this house. Do you want to live in this house? There is room for you — and there's room for everyone you know (and everyone they know). If every soul in these cities turned to Jesus, he'd have a place for every single one of them. And that's our mission as a church. This is a big, big house, and our prayer is that God would fill up the rooms — that he would bring many, many in our city home, even through the horrors of what's happening right now. The people in our city are hurting and divided and afraid and they need a King. I've prayed, with all the extra attention on our church, Lord, fill up the rooms! Make Jesus impossible to ignore. And make him impossible to resist. There's always room in this house. He won't turn you away.And if you'll believe in Jesus, not only is there room for you, but there's a room for you. Listen to him carefully, “In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?” When you get to this house, he's not going to be scrambling around to make room (Hey, Epaphraditus, can you bunk with Aquila until we find a spot for Pastor Max?). No, there will be a place prepared for you. And when you get there, you're going to know it's yours. Our kids got a number of things for Christmas this year, but the biggest hit was a case of colored pencils my wife bought for our son. I didn't know my wife had gotten this gift for him, and so when he opened it and I saw his eyes, I cried. I cried! Why did I cry about some colored pencils?Because as soon as I saw it, and saw him holding it, I knew it was the perfect gift for him. You could have shown me that pencil case anywhere in the world, and I would have said that's something my wife would buy for our boy, because she's a good mom who knows and loves her son. No child in the world is going to love this more than he does. That's what your room's going to be like. Your place in heaven. It's going to be obviously yours, prepared for you.Some of you have never had a home like that. A lot of people feel that way in Minneapolis and St. Paul right now. You sit in your home, in this city, and it feels like anything but home here. You're anxious. You're angry. You're troubled. And into that persistent sense of homesickness, Jesus says, “If you're with me, Oh I have a home for you. I'm going to prepare a place for you.”And the best part of the home he makes for you is going to be him. “In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”So he left to prepare a place for you, and he's coming back to make sure you get there safely. Did you hear that? He's not going to prepare a place for you and then waiting to see if you can get there on your own. No, when it's time, he's going to come back, pick you up, and escort you there himself. Not one of you will be lost or left behind.And when you get home, he'll be at the center of everything you love about that place. You'll be happier than you've ever been — Do you believe that about heaven? You'll be happier than ever before, and it's not going to be about the colored pencils he put next to the bed — it's not going to be about all the things you'd want to do if you could do anything you want in heaven (and I think we'll do all those things in heaven). No, you'll be happier than you've ever been, and it'll be because he's there. I promise you. You won't have to convince yourself he's the best. No, it'll be so good to be with him that it'll be a little hard to believe that he's really just there, every day, for thousands and thousands of years.More than anyone besides the Bible, Randy Alcorn has helped me long for that home. He says in his book on heaven,“Nothing is more often misdiagnosed than our homesickness for Heaven. We think that what we want is sex, drugs, alcohol, a new job, a raise, a doctorate, a spouse, a large-screen television, a new car, a cabin in the woods, a condo in Hawaii. What we really want is the person we were made for, Jesus, and the place we were made for, Heaven. Nothing less can satisfy us. . . . Not only will we see his face and live, but we will likely wonder if we ever lived before we saw his face!” (Heaven, 166, 172)So he's going to the Father's house, which has many rooms, there's a room prepared for you, with him at the center, and he's coming back to make sure we get there. But how do we get there?3. How Do We Get to Him?Verse 3:“If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”You don't think you know. That's exactly what Thomas says in the next verse,“Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Pastor Jonathan will preach those verses in a couple weeks, but we get a taste even here in these verses. When Jesus says, “I go to prepare a place for you,” what did he mean by prepare? Did he mean he had to leave because he needed to do some work on the house to get it ready for us? Is he framing out doors and laying sheet rock on a couple floors? No, this isn't that kind of preparation. The house is finished. All the rooms are ready. No one has been forgotten, and no detail has been missed. The problem isn't the readiness of the house; the problem at this point in the Gospel of John is that there's no way to get in. When he says he's going to prepare a place for them, he's going to install the front door. And this glorious door is made of two horrifying beams of wood. He's going to die for his friends. That's really why he had to leave. When he says he's preparing a place, he's opening the home. And so yes, where's he going? He's going to the Father's house. But he gets there through the grave. “I am the good shepherd,” he told them. “The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. . . .” (John 10:11). He's going to die for their sins, so that they get to go home. He's going to lay down his life for the sheep, for his friends. As he's leaving them, we realize he's not abandoning them; he's rescuing them. All they can see is the immediate threat — we can relate to that — all they can see is the immediate threat ,but he was focused on a far greater threat. They're focused on little Rome, and he's about to go to war against hell — and he's going to win.Colossians 2:13–15:“And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.” How could he leave? Where was he going? That's where he's going. “And,” he says verse 4, “you know the way to where I am going” (John 14:3–4). Again, you don't think you know the way — we've felt that way this week, haven't we? We don't think we know the way forward, but we do know the way, because we know him.Even You, PeterAs we turn to the Table, then, that leaves us with three verses I've said almost nothing about. This is chapter 13:36–38. I'll be brief here, in closing, but I'm so jealous for you to see this. “Simon Peter said to him, ‘Lord, where are you going?' Jesus answered him, ‘Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.' 37 Peter said to him, ‘Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.' 38 Jesus answered, ‘Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.'”Next verse, next words out of his mouth, in the very next breath as far as we know:“Let not your hearts be troubled.”Think about that. “I will lay down my life for you!” “No you won't, Peter. You're going to fail me, you're going to disown and betray me three times today . . . . and I'm still going to lay down my life for you, so you don't have to be troubled.” He doesn't say that to Judas (he's already left by now), but he says it to Peter. I'm going to prepare a place for you, Peter. Yes, even you. And so I say to you this morning, it doesn't matter how you have betrayed him and how many times you have betrayed him — how many times you have run from him and sinned against him. Maybe you betrayed him three times in the last 24 hours. It doesn't matter where you're coming from this Sunday. And it doesn't matter where you were sitting, standing, or shouting last Sunday. If you will turn and believe, he has prepared a home for you. You can be forgiven. His death can cover you. His wounds can heal you. His house can shelter you. Yes, even you.So, Cities Church, let not your hearts be troubled.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 31 October 2025, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 6:22-71 and three conversations that Jesus has with the crowd, with the Jews in the synagogue at Capernaum, and with his disciples.Mark points out that life is a gift. You cannot have life without Jesus. However, you cannot have Jesus unless the Father chooses you and gives you to him. Mark reminds us that even though the Bible's teaching on election is offensive to some, it is of monumental comfort to us.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

Daily Dose of Hope January 23, 2026   Scripture: I Corinthians 1   Prayer:  Abba Father, You are the potter, we are the clay, and the work of Your hands. Mold us and fashion us into the image of Jesus, your Son. Father, may we be one in You as He is in You, and You are in Him. Glory and praise to you, forever and ever. Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the daily Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.  We have been journeying through Paul's letters.  Today, we are starting our fourth pastoral letter, I Corinthians.   Let's start by talking a little bit about Corinth.  It was a Greek city, about forty-five miles from Athens.  It was highly prosperous but also known for its immorality.  We read about Paul's time in Corinth in Acts 18 during his second missionary journey.  It's in Corinth that Paul meets Priscilla and Aquila, fellow tentmakers and believers.  He started his time there by preaching in the synagogues but the Jews were generally not responsive.  That led Paul to begin to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles in the area.  And he was very successful.  Thus, the church in Corinth included both Jews and Gentiles.  Paul stayed with the Corinthians for roughly a year and a half.  During that time, there were some Jews who brought charges against Paul for his teachings.  The discord continued after he left.  Thus, the Corinthians church was dealing with these outside pressures, as well as serious internal discord and immorality.  Paul stayed in touch with them through letters.  We have two of these letters (there were probably others) in the New Testament.   In this first chapter of I Corinthians, we immediately notice this is a letter. Paul starts by identifying himself as the author and makes it clear that the recipients are those in the church at Corinth. After a brief expression of thanksgiving, Paul wastes no time at getting to a most pressing point. There is disunity in the church. Factions have emerged over who to follow. Some say they follow Paul, others say Apollos or Cephas, and some say Christ.   We don't know the details of the disagreements, or how the factions came about. Really, I don't think the fine points are that relevant. What's more interesting to me is how Paul handles the situation. He reminds them who and whose they are. He reinforces the mission. We get so distracted by our own egos and allegiances; the mission is what suffers. The mission is sharing the Gospel, spreading the Good News of Jesus.   Let's fast forward 2000 years. How often have we as individual Christ-followers and as a church gotten off track because of disagreements with other Christians? Think about people you have personally known who have left a church because they got mad about something. Conflicts over individual personalities, music styles, bruised egos, miscommunication, or even the color of the new carpet, can totally derail a church from the true mission! What if we just had laser focus on Jesus? What if the mission trumped everything else? How might that change things?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal.Tonight, we sit on the water's edge of a new year. With the sun set and moonlight piercing the darkness, we watch the slow ripple on the waves of yesterday and watch for dawn. It may not seem it, but the hours before sunrise are some of the best for fishing. This silent time lit soft by stars is the perfect time to cast wide our net into the new year. I'm not talking about new year's resolutions that only last a day or two. I'm talking about epiphany! Epiphany is the culmination of prolonged effort—like wisemen from the East making their long journey to Bethlehem or a faithful fisherman patiently casting out His net. At the beginning of last year, Jesus enlightened us with his preaching (Matthew 5-7). On a mountainside He spoke light and life, opening our eyes and ears and illuminating our hearts. Now, Jesus will come down from the mountain and walk among us, living His message into our world (Matthew 8.1). As we set out with Jesus the Messiah, would you enter this new year challenged by our fourth century sibling, Chromatius of Aquila, who wrote:“‘The kingdom of heaven is near.' So do you want the kingdom of heaven to also be near for you? Prepare these ways in your heart, in your senses and in your soul. Pave within you the way of purity, the way of faith and the way of holiness. Build roads of justice. Remove every scandal of offense from your heart. For it is written: ‘Remove the stones from the road.' And then, indeed, through the thoughts of your heart and the very movements of your soul, Christ the King will enter along certain paths,” (emphasis added).Beloved, the King and His Kingdom are near, so let us begin this new year intently going through the gates, preparing the way for all people, building up the way of the Lord to dwell among us (Isaiah 62.10). Let us join Jesus in the journey as He casts the net wide.

This is the last epistle Paul would write and he has encouraged Timothy to take the baton and keep going. He has warned him of the challenges he faces and he has exhorted him to continue even in the face of persecution. He gives some final thoughts and gives some greetings to some coworkers including Priscilla and Aquila. These two people started the church at Ephesus which is where Timothy is when he receives this letter. But as he closes his letter, Paul has one request for Timothy...he tells him to get there before Winter. Why? Because he had just told him to bring his coat that he had left behind with Carpus at Troas. The man needs his coat because it will be cold soon! Paul is ready to go and he sees death as a ride into eternity to be with his Savior.

Pastor John Nuzzo announces the release of his first book, The Acceleration Mandate:  God's Blueprint for Generational Impact, and summarizes the content of the book in this month's podcast.  The Acceleration Mandate is available starting January 6 along with a workbook and videos for small group use. The Acceleration Mandate is not a message; it is a mandate and move of the Spirit of God.  God is always dealing with three generations at one time.  God is endeavoring to bring His people to a place where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob do not divide again so that the church can accelerate and the Kingdom of God can expand.  God must turn our hearts toward one another.  The content of the book is an action plan based on Malachi 4:6 – God is going to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers or else the land will be destroyed.God is wanting the emerging generation to be accelerated by the previous generation.  The Abrahams can accelerate with their aged wine. The biblical template of this is Aquila and Priscilla's interaction with Apollos, which accelerated the call of God on Apollos's life.  The Acceleration Mandate provides a step-by-step approach to accelerating the next generation in your church and provides a way to avoid pitfalls that others have had to navigate.  The Acceleration Mandate can be found at major book retailers and online stores. You can also find it Here.

Romans Overview The Question of Sin (3:23) The Question of Salvation (4:5) The Question of Sanctification (6:16) The Question of Sovereignty (11:33-36) The Question of Service (12:1-2) More to Consider Rome As early as the second century b.c., a Jewish colony existed in Rome. After 63 b.c., when Judea became a part of the Roman Empire, this colony grew. By 59 b.c. Cicero wrote of it as powerful and influential. At times the Jews suffered expulsion from Rome, and as in an a.d. 19 financial scandal. Yet, within a few years the Jews would drift back again to this center of finance, trade, and political power. In a.d. 49 Claudius expelled the Jews from Rome in an act mentioned in Acts 18:2. Strikingly, the historian Suetonius said that the cause of Claudius' action was the "constant indulgence of the Jews in riots at the instigation of one Chrestus." Apparently the message of Christ divided the Jewish community at Rome and, as it did in the cities to which Paul journeyed on his missions, provoked bitter and violent controversy! Priscilla and Aquila, whom we meet later in this letter and who are mentioned in Acts 18, were apparently converted at this time. They were already believers when Paul met them. Claudius' expulsion edict, like the earlier ones, had no lasting effect. A few years later the Jewish colony again flourished and, as before, included Jewish believers in Christ. By the time Paul wrote this letter to the Romans, a large number of Gentile and Jewish Christians comprised a typical church. Paul had longed to go to Rome, both to minister to the believers there and to be encouraged by them. But he was not able to go just then. So instead Paul sent a lengthy letter. In his letter we have our most careful, thorough, and detailed explanation of that Gospel which God called Paul to preach. In Galatians we catch glimpses of themes that Paul now fully develops. As we study Romans, we see that in Christ, God has truly taken a new and dynamic approach to the question of righteousness. The cage of the Law was designed to restrain unrighteousness. The freedom of the Gospel is designed to produce in man the righteousness of God. "In the Gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last" Teacher's Commentary Chrysostom, one of the early church fathers, had the epistle read to him twice a week. And it was Coleridge who said that the Epistle to the Romans was the most profound writing that exists. Further, we find that one of the great scientists turned to this book, and he found that it gave a real faith. This man, Michael Faraday, was asked on his deathbed by a reporter, "What are your speculations now?" Faraday said, "I have no speculations. My faith is firmly fixed in Christ my Savior who died for me, and who has made a way for me to go to heaven." Thru The Bible with J. Vernon McGee. On May 24, 1738, a discouraged missionary went "very unwillingly" to a religious meeting in London. There a miracle took place. "About a quarter before nine," he wrote in his journal, "I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death." That missionary was John Wesley. The message he heard that evening was the preface to Martin Luther's commentary on Romans. Bible Exposition Commentary New Testament, Volume 1.

El águila real (Aquila chrysaetos) no solo impone por su tamaño — con una envergadura que supera los dos metros— sino por la cantidad de leyendas que ha inspirado a lo largo de la historia. Es una de las águilas más grandes del mundo, y su imagen ha marcado culturas enteras. Cuando los mexicas vieron un águila devorando una serpiente sobre un nopal, supieron que habían llegado a la tierra prometida. Hoy, esa poderosa rapaz adorna el escudo nacional de México. Pero también aparece en banderas y emblemas de otros países como Kazajistán, donde cazadores nómadas han practicado con ellas una forma ancestral de cetrería durante miles de años.Listen to this episode in English here. Más información y transcripción en BirdNote.org.¿Quieres más BirdNote?

2 Timothy 4 (NASB) 1 I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But as for you, use self-restraint in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; 8 in the future there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. 9 Make every effort to come to me soon; 10 for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Take along Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service. 12 But I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the overcoat which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Be on guard against him yourself too, for he vigorously opposed our teaching. 16 At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them. 17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion's mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus sick at Miletus. 21 Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters. 22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.   1. Your number one priority 1-4 2. Fulfill your ministry 5-8 3. Final thoughts 9-22

Send us a textStrong Women Strong WorldPriscilla | Part 7Senior Pastor Keith StewartAugust 10, 2025She's a teacher, leader and a valued coworker of the Apostle Paul. She is also the second most mentioned person in the writings of Paul (only Timothy has more mentions). Yet very few Christians know her story or why she matters. This Sunday, our series on strong women brings us to Priscilla____________Discussion Questions 1. Priscilla and Aquila were a couple who served God together and worked alongside each other in the tent making business. If you're married, how well would that arrangement work out between you and your spouse? Are there ways you presently serve God together? What is that like?2. Working regular jobs as tentmakers did not interfere with the calling of God on the Apostle Paul's life or that of Priscilla and Aquila. Yet so many today often view their work as unspiritual and an impediment to doing the work of God. How do we change the way we see our jobs and do our jobs so that it fits better with the plan of God for our life? How do I turn even the most mundane tasks into something meaningful for God? 3. It's obvious, based on how Luke inverts the names of this couple whenever they're mentioned in a ministry context, that Priscilla is the one who leads the way and is operating in her primary gifting. How do you respond when your spouse's gift outshines your own? What qualities would you expect to see in Aquila that allowed him to support his wife in her spiritual gifting?  4. Priscilla's example of teaching the gifted Apollos is one of the best repudiations of the idea that what Paul was saying in 1 Corinthians 14.34-35 and 1 Timothy 2.12 was an attempt to silence women and forbid them a role in teaching men (If you haven't listened to the first message in this series, it's imperative that you do so). Furthermore, that the churches in Corinth and Ephesus (where the Timothy passage is addressed) both started in Priscilla and Aquila's home, is another major hurdle in making these verses say women can't teach. Why is the example of Priscilla ignored? Glossed over? Or distorted? What did you learn today about Priscilla that stood out to you most? How does her example encourage you? 5. There is no question that Priscilla and Aquila were foundational in the establishment of the church especially among the Gentiles. Paul said so himself. They were a key presence in three of the churches that were most instrumental in spreading the gospel message. We'd love to know more than what we do about their lives and influence. But most of the work this couple did was out of the limelight and without extensive records. How content are you to serve in relative anonymity as Priscilla and Aquila did? What are you doing with your life right now that will outlast this life?

Just like Apollos accepted correction, Fr. Mike invites us to courageously open ourselves up to learning and growing. Today's readings are Acts 18, 1 Corinthians 16, and Proverbs 28:19-21.

This week we're hiking to the tree of wisdom to discuss the benefits of the Terpenoid compounds found in Lions Mane mushrooms / Shoutout to Golden Door! / and how they can help repair the cellular death caused by PTSD. Terpenes/Terpenoids are found in so many living things and they seem to fit into our bodies like keys that either unlock or activate certain systems for the management of our health! I also go on a rant about the rapidly changing landscape of our society again lmao; every week I get hit with some new wild information about how fucked society is. The earth is fine and shall live past our fuckery; however it makes me sad that we can't all live in peace and harmony. It would be so easy with just a shift of the general consciousness. At the very end of this episode I feature a new song I've created titled Aquila. It features a Ram Dass sample; if you're from his estate please don't sue me. This track is special to me and captures a beautiful night in my life. Skip to 48:10 to check it out! Thank you all for the continued support as I return back to a cannabis free baseline. I hope to reintegrate it into my existence once I develop more resiliance toward the internal and external horrors that I exist with daily. With a stronger soul will come more enjoyment from one of my life's greatest passions: the cannabis plant. Beyond the culture of it all, this plant is so special to me. My dad taught me the skill of growing it when I was 18 and that changed my life forever. And before my mom died, I was able to connect with her on a human level through the plant. It dissolves the boundaries of the illusion of parent/child and showed me the reality of human/human.Support the show

En una de las leyendas fundacionales más icónicas de América, un águila real (Aquila chrysaetos) devorando una serpiente sobre un nopal marcó el lugar donde los mexicas construirían Tenochtitlan, la capital del Imperio Azteca. Con el paso de los siglos, esa antigua metrópoli se transformó en lo que hoy conocemos como Ciudad de México. Aunque el águila mítica está presente en la bandera nacional, las águilas reales que aún habitan el país necesitan nuestra ayuda, a través de la investigación científica sobre conservación y la protección de su hábitat.Más información y transcripción en BirdNote.org.¿Quieres más BirdNote?

Nuestra “Nube de Testigos”Cuando y era un sacerdote de apenas veintisiete años traje la Santa Comunión a Quintín Nieves. Quintín fue un hombre pobre que vivía en un Campo. Antes y después de yo orar con Quintín y darle el Cuerpo de Cristo, la Santa Comunión Quintín me dio muchos consejos. Me aconsejaba seguir puro y orar mucho. Tocó algo para mi con su pequeño mandolín. Quintín era una de muchas personas que Dios puso en mi vida para ayudarme crecer en la fe, la esperanza y a caridad como buen sacerdote Redentorista. Quintín para mí para este ya joven Padre Martín era uno de los que San Pablo llama mi nube de testigos. Quiere decir esto que Quintín para mí fue un instrumento de Dios para acercarme mas al corazón de Jesús.  Esto fue el motivo de yo leer ese trozo de la carta de San Pablo a los Romanos. Porque Pablo nombra y saluda nueve personas que fueron personas que le ayudaron vivir y predicar la fe en Jesús: en a Prisca y a Aquila, Epéneto, María, Andrónico y a Junías, Ampliato, Eustaquio. Entonces Tercio que escribía la carta, Tercio saluda y nombra otros ocho personas Stachys, Apelles, la familia de Aristóbulo.,Herodion. La familia de Narcisso.  Tryphaena , Persis,  y Rufus,* A lo mejor tú que oye mis palabras tienes, al igual que yo, varias personas como era para mi Quintín Nieves allá en aquella loma dando me consejos que me han ayudado perseverar como hijo de Dios, como amado de Jesús y de nuestra madre común María. Les invito a que durante el día de hoy vayas pensando en todas las personas que te ayudan conocer, amar y seguir a Jesús vivir mejor su mensaje de esperanza. Dale gracias por tus propia nube de testigos.Si me quieren enviar comentarios:tdeely7352@hotmail.com

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, your daily companion on a journey through the Scriptures. In today's episode, host Hunter invites listeners from around the world to gather by the “fires of God's love” on this 23rd day of October. Together, we dive into Job chapters 13 and 14, where Job passionately argues his case before God, wrestling with suffering, justice, and hope. Next, we move into Acts chapters 17 and 18, following Paul and Silas as they face opposition and share the message of Jesus throughout Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, and Corinth. Along the way, we encounter inspiring figures like Priscilla and Aquila, who gently guide Apollos into a deeper understanding of faith in Christ. Through thoughtful reflection, heartfelt prayer, and words of encouragement, Hunter reminds us that our true rest and identity is found in Jesus. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's explore these powerful stories together—trusting that through it all, we are deeply loved and never alone. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Aquila and Priscilla and the Invitation to Rest Aquila and Priscilla went to help Apollos. And they want to help us too. They want to point us to our baptism into Christ. Apollos, we're told, only knew about the baptism of John, but Priscilla and Aquila point us beyond that—to our baptism into Christ, an even greater hope and assurance. This is the amazing, liberating news: that God has reconciled us to himself and drawn us into his life. Our identity is not wrapped up in our striving, our performance, or our attempts at holiness. Our identity is in Christ—deeply rooted in what He has done, not what we can do. Baptism, Priscilla and Aquila would remind us, signifies this new reality. Ours is not to strive after some unattainable perfection, but to rest in who Jesus says we are—trusting in His perfection, His holiness, and His love. In Christ, God assumed all of humanity into Himself, so that we might participate in the loving life that Jesus shares with the Father and the Spirit. This is what Priscilla and Aquila invited Apollos to discover: not just a message about repentance, but the ongoing, participatory life in Christ, where we rest, and our joy and strength is found. And that is the invitation laid before us today—to rest in what Jesus has done, to find our strength and joy there. Let us not be anxious or strive in our own strength, but remember that Jesus has included us, adopted us, and called us His own. That's a prayer I hold for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family—for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer I have for you: may we rest in our true identity in Christ, and live each day from that grace-filled place. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
