“And hardworking farmers should be the first to enjoy the fruit of their labor.” (2 Timothy 2:6 NLT) Many times, when people feel burned out or overwhelmed, it’s not because God has given them too much to do. It’s because they haven’t spent time with Him. Psalm 91:1 says, “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty” (NLT). Likewise, the apostle Paul wrote, “And hardworking farmers should be the first to enjoy the fruit of their labor” (2 Timothy 2:6 NLT). That simply means you can’t give out what you don’t possess. If you’re going to operate from a position of spiritual strength, you first have to do the things that build your spiritual strength. And at the top of the list of spiritual strength-builders is living in the shelter of the Most High. What does it mean to live in the shelter of the Most High? The Hebrew word translated live in Psalm 91 speaks of a consistent presence. It parallels the New Testament word remain that Jesus used in John 15:5: “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing” (NLT, emphasis mine). It means to stay in a given place. Essentially, God is saying, “I don’t merely want a relationship with you. I want fellowship. I want you to come close and to remain consistently in My presence.” What an opportunity—an invitation to rest and recharge while we bask in God’s love and mercy! Who could refuse? Yet many believers do, knowingly or unknowingly, because of the challenge involved. Our culture is wired to discourage the kind of rest God offers. Our time and attention are monopolized by the 24/7 news cycle, an addictive and endless parade of social media timewasters, season after season of programs to binge, and countless other diversions. And that’s in our “down” time! Even when our busyness has a purpose, we need to make sure that it’s being fueled properly. Believers sometimes substitute perspiration for inspiration. We substitute work for worship. We get so busy doing Christian things with Christian people in the Christian church that we forget about Christ. Did you know that’s possible? I ask you today, are you living in the shelter of the Most High? There’s a time and place for Christian work. But the best Christian work will always overflow from a life of worship. That work can never take the place of worship. Because it’s in worship, in spending purposeful time in God’s presence, that we become equipped to carry out God’s work. If you want to grow in your Christian faith, and make a difference for God’s kingdom, make sure you’re spending consistent, quality time in God’s presence. That’s the place where life-changing things happen. Reflection question: What would living in the shelter of the Most High look like in your life?

The spiritual laws of the kingdom are available to all—but are we operating in true relationship with Christ or just working spiritual principles for our own gain? While following God’s ways leads to life and abundance, we see these principles can be operated outside of relationship. We see this with: * Unrighteous people who seem to prosper outside of loving God and others * New Age seekers who tap into spiritual laws without Christ * Believers who mix truth/ministry with manipulation, compromise, and personal agendas Operating out of intimate relationship with Christ causes us to not only experience life and abundance as He defines them, but do the one eternal thing that ultimately matters: love as He loves. The sobering reality? Any of us can fall into the trap of valuing things above relationship with Him That’s why Jesus warns: Matthew 7:21-23 (TPT) “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into heaven’s kingdom... I will say to them, ‘Go away from me, you lawless rebels! I’ve never been joined to you!’” God only relates to who we truly are: not the false deceitful manipulative and fallen ways of beings and false identities - they will not last the fires of His Love. In this powerful and eye-opening message, we’ll explore: * Why relationship with Christ matters more than spiritual principles * How to examine our hearts and remove hidden motives * Why seeking God’s kingdom first leads to true abundance (Matthew 6:33) * How to recognize false prophets and avoid deception (Matthew 7:14-25) * The difference between operating in power vs. operating in love Let’s shift from simply working spiritual laws to walking in true, life-giving relationship with Jesus!

Guest Speaker Pastor John Davis brings a message about the spiritual warfare believers face and how to overcome it with awareness and divine truth. The schemes of the enemy—distraction, drifting, and disturbance—seek to hinder God's purpose by attacking not possessions, but purpose itself. Believers are urged to confront misinformation, embrace spiritual renewal, and lean on God's grace for strength, discernment, and transformation through what he calls a “holy exchange.” If you would like to support WOCC financially you can give by clicking here: https://www.worldovercomers.church/give/ Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 2 Ephesians 6 Hosea 4 2 Timothy 1 2 Timothy 2 John 4 2 Kings 1 Ecclesiastes 3 2 Corinthians 10 Philippians 1 Isaiah 61
Jesus knew that His people would struggle with staying together. When we quarrel with other Christians over trivial matters, we look just like the divided world around us. The Bible teaches that there are times when divisions are necessary, and we need the courage to separate when it is for God's glory. But may we only separate from professing Christians when the Bible tells us to do so. As the High Priestly Prayer concludes, Jesus reiterates His theme: our Union with Him. His earnest prayer throughout has been that we be united with Him. When we are united with Christ and with His people, a divided world takes notice. Take-Home Message: The Lord's greatest prayer reveals His greatest priorities. Jesus Prays for Our Unity with Believers (20-23). When should believers not separate?Over trivial differences Perceived slightsTo avoid accountability When should believers separate?When professing Christian churches are in obvious error.When professing Christians are in sin and unrepentant. Jesus Prays for Our Union with Him (24-26). What is Union with Christ?NOT God then meNOT God not meNOT God plus meGod in me. Take-Home PrioritiesBe united with Christ.Be united with Christ's people. Message: Jesus Prays for Us Scripture: John 17:20-26 Simple. Authentic. Jesus. Prairiebible.org

Don't you perceive it? Holy Spirit is actively at work, stirring Believers to let go of yesterday with its former glory and familiar structure, and orchestrating a deep yearning for something new. He is deconstructing “what was” and is re-introducing us to “what is” - a new and ongoing encounter of God's presence in our lives - which is the whole point. And from that, He will build His church.

In his 2024 address to 1,200 university graduates, billionaire businessman Robert Hale, Jr. said: “These trying times have heightened the need for sharing, caring and giving. [My wife and I] want to give you two gifts: the first is our gift to you, the second is the gift of giving.” His words were followed by the distribution of two envelopes each to the unexpectant graduates—five hundred dollars to keep and five hundred to give away to a person in need. Though Robert Hale’s wealth has allowed him to share like this on more than one occasion, generosity isn’t reserved for those with great means. Believers in Jesus in ancient Macedonia gave out of their poverty so the needs of believers in Jerusalem could be met. Paul said of the Macedonians, “In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity” (2 Corinthians 8:2). He commends them because “they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people” (vv. 3-4). Those who recognize that they’ve been given much grace from God through Jesus can respond with generous hands to the needs of others. With God’s help, let’s give after the example of the One who said, “It’s more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).
Hebrews 13 begins, “Let brotherly love (Greek “philadelphus” the love among brothers) continue”. And this is the message of the first nineteen verses. There are many ways to show brotherly love and in verse 2 the writer shows that hospitality is one of the ways. Everyone is a stranger until you get to know them; and who knows whether the unknown person to whom you show kindness might even be an angel. In Genesis 18:3 strangers came to Abraham's tent bringing great blessings. Verse 3 focuses on supporting the afflicted and counsels believers to encourage the afflicted through visiting and exhorting. This helping of strangers has often been done by Christadelphians resulting in people becoming believers. Even if that was not the outcome of your actions you will still be blessed in your care being shown to another. Verse 4 tells of the honourable and elevated state of marriage among believers; and states that sexual relationships outside marriage are totally unacceptable to God. Verse 5 tells of the dangers of coveting and explains that knowing God is the best way to counter this. It is important to be content (see 1 Timothy 6:5-10) with all that you have. The literal Greek of this verse Hebrews 13:5) is – “I will never, no not ever, leave you, nor forsake you”. How incredibly encouraging are these thoughts – so that whatever is before us can overcome in the confidence of knowing that God is with you. One person and God is always an overwhelming majority (see 2 Kings 6:16). Always (v7) show respect for those who guide you to understand the Word and counsel from God's Word. Imitate their faith, for it is sustained by an unchanging Lord Jesus Christ (v8). We must be led by grace (v9). We ought not be focused on the present – this includes foods, which are all too important a part of today's transient world. Verse 10 we are constrained to live lives sacrificing everything upon our altar, Christ, who gave all to bring us to God. The Law of Moses taught the same in its code of offerings. The Law was leading us to Christ; as the writer was through the spirit reminding and encouraging the believers (compare Galatians 3:23-26). As a consequence of his doing this our Lord was crucified and we must take up our stake and follow him. Believers are citizens of the coming Zion and not of the then present Jerusalem, which was awaiting destruction. Our sacrifice is of praise – an attitude of gratitude (v15). The readers are encouraged to show submission to their guides in the Word, because it is not for their own benefit that they give their counsel. Those leaders, too, will be called to give account for their words. Pray for the writer, indeed for all who labour in the Word, that all will magnify our Sovereign and His incomparable Son. Verses 20-21 give us the closing benediction. ESV “Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” Pause and ponder. Final greetings follow and finish with a request for God's grace to be with them.

There is provision in the covenant of grace against peace-ruining, soul-perplexing sins, is not, as to the administration of it, absolute. There are covenant commands and exhortations, on the attendance whereunto the administration of much covenant grace doth depend. To watch, pray, improve faith, to stand on our guard continually, to mortify sin, to fight against temptations, with steadfastness, diligence, constancy, are everywhere prescribed unto us; and that in order unto the insurance of the grace mentioned.

Pastor Richard Barcellos, An Orthodox Catechism Q.44
A new day is coming, when the typical model of the church as it has always been will shift and begin to look completely different. Eye has not seen what it will look like, because there is no model for it. Our call in this day is to counter the culture of typical and build an atmosphere for the glory of God to saturate a certain place for those who are weary of the glass shell that religion has created and are needing something authentic, a place to truly find Him. This will be an awakening like no one has ever seen before, a new day of unity among Believers who are joined together, not by preferences or theology, but in simply recognizing that we all come from the same source, Our Father.
The fuller sermon title would be THE CURE TO A CRUMBLING CHURCH IS THE SAVIOR & THE SCRIPTURE. This is true in Crete and Lenoir City, and every other place on the globe. The modern church in America is consumed by the social instead of the spiritual. Transformation comes from Christ, not cultural change.

"When You Believe in God but Worry All the Time" explores how chronic worry among believers reflects a lack of trust in God. So many of us have a restless soul. We are always searching but never finding. We are interested in everything, but satisfied by nothing. Worry is futile and harmful. Believers must surrender anxiety, focus on what they can control, and trust God's provision in order to their deepen faith.
In this powerful message, we're reminded that ministry isn't just for church leaders - it's for all of us. The early church faced challenges of discrimination and neglect, as seen in Acts 6. But instead of letting this divide them, they found a solution that brought unity and growth. We're called to step up, use our unique gifts, and serve where God has placed us. The apostles' wisdom in delegating tasks shows us the importance of knowing our calling and empowering others. This isn't about hierarchy, but about maximizing our collective impact for God's kingdom. Are we willing to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our spheres of influence? Let's embrace the Holy Spirit's power and be the church to both believers and non-believers alike.

Senior Pastor Tony Foreman from First Baptist Church Williamstown continues his sermon series “The Daring Direction of the Church” with this weeks’s message titled “The Church Who Cares” from Acts 6:1-7.
DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES Sermon Summary: "Live in the House of Wisdom" by Dr. Bryan Hudson Pastor Bryan Hudson delivers a powerful and practical message rooted in the wisdom literature of Scripture, particularly the book of Proverbs. The central theme of the sermon is an invitation not merely to admire or visit wisdom, but to live in the house of wisdom—to make it our dwelling place and guiding principle. Purpose of Proverbs (Proverbs 1:1–3) Proverbs is given to teach wisdom and discipline, to understand wise insights, and to help people do what is right, just, and fair. Discipline is emphasized—it's not what others do for you, but what you choose for yourself. Discipline leads to order, consistency, and purposeful living. The Structure of Wisdom (Proverbs 24:3–4) Wisdom builds the house Understanding establishes it Knowledge furnishes it with pleasant and precious things This creates a metaphorical structure: Wisdom = the house, Understanding = the foundation, Knowledge = the furniture. This priority counters worldly assumptions—knowledge is not enough; it must be applied through wisdom and guided by understanding. Illustration of Wisdom with Cooking Knowledge is like having the recipe and ingredients. Understanding is knowing how to use them. Wisdom is putting it all together effectively and appropriately. Path Principle and Decision-Making Proverbs teaches to ponder the path of your feet (Proverbs 4:26). Life is about the paths we walk, not merely our intentions. Just as walking on a moving walkway takes you in a fixed direction, so do life choices—you arrive where the path leads, regardless of your good intentions. Living in God's Wisdom vs. Worldly Lack There is both abundance and lack in the world—not only materially but spiritually. There's a famine of hearing the Word of the Lord (Amos 8:11), despite abundance all around. True abundance is not material wealth, but spiritual richness, rooted in wisdom and relationship with God. Warnings and Encouragement Covetousness is a danger—desiring something just because someone else has it. Jesus was not poor, but He lived simply. True wealth is in wisdom and purpose, not possessions. Don't lower yourself or dilute your wisdom to fit in—let others rise to the level of truth and light. Mind of Christ God's ways and thoughts are higher (Isaiah 55:8–9), but they are not unattainable—we must rise to them. Believers have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16), giving access to divine wisdom. Final Call: Choose Wisdom Daily God's wisdom is a path, not just an idea. Living wisely leads to stability, fulfillment, and God-directed success. Don't just visit the house of wisdom—live there. Closing Prayer Dr. Hudson ends with a prayer of thanksgiving, asking God to help believers live in the house of wisdom and guide others into the same. Summary Phrase: "Let's not just visit the house of wisdom—let's live in it." This message is both instructional and deeply spiritual, calling believers to a lifestyle rooted in God's wisdom, discernment, and understanding.

Our Listener asks, “About 40 years ago I joined a very legalistic church. They taught salvation by grace, but taught salvation was only a beginning. Now that one was saved they must now endure, and the ‘inheritance' was now the pursuit. They taught that not all Christians would be Overcomers, and that some, though saved, might have the door closed on them to further Christian growth due to disobedience. As God had told the Israelites that they could no longer enter the land -- He had sworn in His wrath that they could no longer enter ‘His rest' -- that God could do the same to Christians who rebel. They taught that the Israelites, though shut out of the land, decided to enter their own and were soundly defeated, for God ‘was not with them.' They taught that Hebrews 6, where it says ‘and this we will do if God permit' was teaching that some Christians, though seeking to grow in Christ, were prevented from doing so as God had ‘closed the door' on them. Though they attempt to grow in Christ, they cannot, for ‘God is not with them' to accomplish that. They are still ‘saved,' but they cannot move forward any more. I left that group years ago, but the fear still comes back. I try to advance as a Christian, but fear God has shut the door to growth because I angered Him to the point where He swore in his wrath that I can proceed no further. Again, this based on Numbers 14 combined with Hebrews 6. I realize this sounds strange and irrational, but that fear has remained for years! Perhaps I am trying to ‘move forward' as a Christian, but God (as he said to the Israelites) is saying ‘don't attempt to enter the land, for I have shut you out of it.' I don't walk daily with this fear, but it comes and goes. I just wish I had clarification regarding this.Was there any scriptural basis for what this group taught, Pastor Jesse? Or is the enemy just using that teaching to stall me in my Christian walk, and cause my relationship with God to be fractured? ...
