Under the law, the people constantly toiled to become righteous through their own efforts. Any blessings they received were conditional and based on their performance; they had to work for God's approval. Under grace, everything has flipped: because of the finished works of Jesus and our faith in them, we're no longer working for righteousness but from righteousness. When the world pressures us to fall in with its principles, we must make the effort to agree with the salvation God has given us. Believers have been taken from grinding through hard work and drudgery to get closer to God to simply responding to the nearness we already have with Him.

Most Christians live defeated, not because of sin, but because they don't know who they are in Christ. In this study, Travis and Rachel Peters walk through the "In Him" scriptures in Ephesians 1 that change how you pray, how you see yourself, and how you live. If this blessed you, don't just watch and leave. Get plugged in today so you can begin to experience God's Promise for Increase on new and exciting levels:

On today’s edition on SUFTT, Tim and Mary take a look at the topics du jour that help the listener see that there is so much they are not hearing about. Believers have a choice to make with every passing day and headline, what will we believe about what we have heard? How does the Scripture address it?  Do we have the whole picture? A godly worldview implies that there will be a testing of the spirits and the ongoing action of being a Berean, and when it comes to the news, training ourselves to read between the lines. Today we talk about the Iran deal; with most news commentaries coming against Trump, is there something we are not considering? Not everyone thinks it is a bad deal. We also look at the latest on Fauci, RSV vaccine experiments in the 1960s, and the replacement of Keir Starmer – good, bad or same? Sometimes we subtly believe half truths innocently, but are we also refusing truth at the same time? Proceed with caution here in 2026.

Angela explains that believers often need wisdom in complicated situations, but the challenge is learning to distinguish between human opinion and the wisdom God generously promises to give when we ask.The discussion also highlights the importance of testing the spirits, making sure every word, impression, or piece of advice lines up with Scripture and confesses Jesus Christ as Lord. TS emphasizes that true wisdom will never contradict the Word of God and that prayer must remain central when giving or receiving counsel.Angela shares practical insight on giving wisdom with gentleness, mercy, sincerity, and humility. She also discusses how wisdom applies to relationships, marriage, forgiveness, reconciliation, and difficult conversations among believers. Together, they stress that pursuing peace does not mean avoiding truth, but speaking truth in love under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.The episode also connects wisdom with prayer, faith, and knowledge. Angela reminds listeners that a healthy prayer life helps believers stay in step with God, while TS encourages praying the Word and giving up the need to always be right so that God's wisdom can take its proper place.Angela also briefly shares about her book, Difficult to Conceive: A Godly Perspective for the Road Ahead, written for women walking through infertility.

Do you want to know God's vision for your life but feel like you keep shrinking your dreams down to what you can figure out on your own? In this teaching, Travis Lee Peters breaks down what vision, mission, and purpose actually mean for the believer, and how to hear what God wants to do in your life clearly, then walk it out through daily obedience. You'll learn why most of us settle for a vision that's "too small" (just get out of debt, just get comfortable), how to stop dreaming without God involved, and why His vision for you is always bigger than anything you could engineer in the natural. We cover the spiritual version of "10X is easier than 2X," how to get quiet and let God drop the vision in your heart, and how that vision turns into a mission you live out one obedient step at a time. If you've ever felt stuck, scattered, or unsure of your purpose, this one is for you. If this blessed you, don't just watch and leave.

A Distinct AccentActs 11:19-30Teacher: Pastor Tommy BaileyDate: June 21, 2026In Acts 11:19-30, the gospel reaches Syrian Antioch, the third-largest city in the ancient world. Believers scattered by persecution arrived, speaking the name of Jesus, and the hand of the Lord was with them. Something about their words and their lives set them apart, a spiritual accent the city had never heard. Their way of life was so unusual that the pagan city of Antioch had no category for them. Likely as a derogatory term, believers were called Christiansfor the first time.Join Pastor Tommy as we consider what made this young church so unique: what they said, how they lived, and who they turned to. These believers were so captured by Jesus that their whole way of life pointed to another home.Join Our Community:Our Sunday morning worship services are comprised of verse-by-verse Bible teaching, Christ-centered worship, and a time of congregational prayer.In-Person: 9 am & 11 am in Nashville, TNOnline: 10 am at https://thevillagechapel.online.churchConnect With Us:Dive deeper into our verse-by-verse studies.

Believers may be taught what is the power and effectiveness of that plague of sin that is in and among them by the effects the same plague produces in and among others, the unregenerate—who have not those corrections of its poison and those preservatives from death with which the Lord Jesus Christ has furnished believers.

Believers rest in transcendent peace by the power of his indwelling Spirit   Preached on June 22, 2026

The term “law” occurs eight times in Romans 7:1-6, and it is among the topics of greatest confusion for believers today. What is the believer in Jesus' relationship to the Law of Moses and the entire Old Testament? What do we do with this giant first chunk of our Bibles? These verses show us that, while the law is good (Rom. 7:12), Jesus is better. In other words, the New Covenant is better than the Old Covenant. For you “have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.” (Rom. 7:4) Take-Home Message: Believers have been joined to a better husband.The Purpose of the Law (1-3)What is the purpose of the Law?A Teacher: The Law teaches me about the Lawmaker.A Mirror: The Law reveals my sinfulness.A Guardian: The Law prepares me for Christ.A Christ-Exalter: The Law reveals and exalts Jesus.The Believer's New Way of Life (4-6)The Believer's New Way of Life:Believers have been released from our old way of life (5).Believers have been joined to a better husband (4).Believers are joined to Christ to bear fruit for God (4).Believers bear fruit through the Holy Spirit (6).

Grace is often described as God's unmerited favor, but Scripture reveals something even deeper: Grace is a Person. Jesus Christ is grace personified, and the Christian life begins, is sustained, and reaches its fullness through Him. In this revelatory exposition with Prophet Robin-Huws Barnes, we explore what it truly means to walk in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. We discover that grace is not merely a doctrine to study or a blessing to receive—it is Christ Himself living in and through us. Through Scripture, we learn that grace is God's favor, enabling power, active presence, and divine supply for every season of life. Whether facing temptation, weakness, ministry responsibilities, family challenges, or difficult circumstances, God's grace is sufficient.

What does it mean to walk in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ? In this Bible study with Prophet Robin-Huws Barnes, we discover that grace is not merely a blessing, a doctrine, or an abstract concept. Grace is fully revealed in the person of Jesus Christ. To walk in grace is to walk in the reality of who Christ is, what He has accomplished, and what He has made available to every believer.

Message from Daniel Ritchie on June 21, 2026

In Acts 15:36–16:5, Paul and Barnabas prepare to return and strengthen the churches, but a sharp disagreement over John Mark leads them to separate. Even in this difficult moment, the mission of the gospel continues as Paul chooses Silas, Barnabas takes Mark, and Timothy joins the work.This passage reminds us that being on mission together does not mean we will never face conflict, make hard decisions, or sacrifice personal rights for the sake of others. Yet through it all, God continues to strengthen His church and grow His people.

A look at 1 John 1

John 16:10 “and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;” After Jesus' resurrection, ascension, and sending of the Holy Spirit, the disciples were transformed by the presence of the life of Christ dwelling in them. Even though the disciples no longer could see Jesus with their physical eyes, their testimony was that Jesus was in them. So it is with everyone who lives to love with Jesus. They convict the world of what they lack—the righteousness of God. Unlike the world, who cannot see Him, we practice righteousness (live to love with Him) because He lives in us. We love because He first loved us. His love was seen in His coming to perform a righteousness for us, bearing our sins in His body on the cross, going to the Father, having made a place in Himself for us to live with Him, and then sending the Holy Spirit to us. The presence of His love in us testifies concerning righteousness. Rom. 5:1-5 says it best. “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” There is the truth that convicts the world concerning righteousness. Believers have the love of God poured out in them and through them. May Jesus' love flow through us today for the glory of God.

Ephesians 1:3–14 is a powerful reminder of the incredible blessings believers have in Christ. Before the foundation of the world, God chose His people in love, adopting them as His children through Jesus and calling them to be holy and blameless. Through Christ's death, we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance that is secured by God's grace. Believers are also sealed with the Holy Spirit, who serves as the guarantee that God will fulfill all of His promises and bring His plan to completion.

If you’ve spent any time on social media, you’ve likely seen a video of some influencer showing how to use a product that he or she claims will change your life. You may or may not have even heard of the product before the video, but its purpose was to get you to see the need for the product being advertised. If the influencer is really good, he or she will get you to think that you will miss out if you don’t get your hands on what’s being offered. God can change lives, because He changed ours! In our encounters with those knowingly or unknowingly in sin, we must point out the sin but also point to the One who can forgive and remove sin.” Believers need to connect with others in the same way that social media influencers do with viewers of their videos. We should have a similar mindset, but the difference is that we’re not trying to sell a product that may or may not work. When we call out sin, we do so knowing that God can change lives, because He changed ours! In our encounters with those knowingly or unknowingly in sin, we must point out the sin but also point to the One who can forgive and remove sin.

By Jay Ledbetter - The Apostle Paul discovered one of the greatest spiritual truths a Christian can learn. Weakness is not the enemy of God's work; it is often the very pathway through which God's power is revealed. As Believers, we can take courage that our inadequacies, struggles, and limitations do not disqualify

In our current generation, we face the unclean froglike teachings such as: Critical Pedagogy, Postcolonial Theory, Critical Race Theory and Queer Theory. We need to stand apart from these, be uplifted and guided from the principles found in the Bible. Then we will “keep our garments” and be ready for Jesus' return. A @Christadelphians Video: [Inspiring] We, as Christadelphians, found this final instalment of the Watchman Report to be an outstanding and wonderfully revealing exposition of the spiritual battle raging for our minds. This thought-provoking and insightful presentation cuts through the noise of modern culture, exposing how the “frog‑like spirits” of Western Marxism and critical theory are reshaping society, education, and even our understanding of truth. Using the sword of the Spirit – our Bibles – we are called to watch, to fight, and to stand firm until our Lord returns.

Romans 8:16 anchors the believer’s identity in a powerful truth: through the Holy Spirit, we are affirmed as children of God. In this devotional, Cindi McMenamin unpacks what it means to live from that identity rather than slipping back into fear, anxiety, and emotional chaos. When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to function as if we are spiritually alone, but Scripture reminds us that believers are fully adopted, fully known, and fully secured in God’s family. Highlights Romans 8:16 confirms believers are children of God through the Spirit. Stress and anxiety often reflect a forgotten identity in Christ. In Christ, believers are adopted, forgiven, and fully secure. God’s love is unshakable and cannot be separated from His children. Identity in Christ replaces an “orphan mindset” with confidence. Believers are complete in Christ, not unfinished projects. Our daily behavior reflects what we believe about God’s care. Living as God’s child produces peace, trust, and spiritual stability.

Full Transcript Below: No Longer an OrphanBy Cindi McMenaminBible Reading:“The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” (Romans 8:16 NKJV). Do you realize that when we worry and fret and start living a drama-filled life, we are forgetting who we really are? We are, in a sense, starting to live like orphans. After all, when you are trusting Christ alone for the forgiveness of your sin and for eternal life, you have become His adopted child (John 1:12; Romans 8:14-17). And in that relationship as His child, you have a new identity that does not include the corruption or chaos of your past, or the problems in your present, or the fears of your future. Your drama or problems don’t define you either. In your new role, God calls you: His child – John 1:12 says: “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” His friend – Jesus said “No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15). A saint – In Ephesians 1:1, believers in Christ are called saints. Yeah, but I’m not a saint, you may be thinking. Your actions may not always say it. But your position in Him says it. You are seen as perfect by Him because You are covered in the righteousness and goodness of Christ. Forgiven – Colossians 1:14 says you have been redeemed (bought back) and forgiven of all your sins—past, present, and future. So your past sins—or your past wounds—can no longer define you. Your slate is wiped clean. Complete – Do you feel like a “work in progress”? Many people describe themselves this way, referring to how they are not yet what God desires of them. But God’s Word is the final authority, and it says “you are complete in Him” (Colossians 2:10). The work has already been done. You just need to live in that truth and wear it. Secure – both eternally and daily, in Him. You are free from condemnation (Romans 8:1-2), free from condemning charges (Romans 8:31-34), and free from the possibility of abandonment (Hebrews 13:5). Unconditionally loved – Romans 8:35-39 says “nothing” will be able to separate you from the love of God – not death, life, circumstances, sin, poor choices, a season of rebellion, nothing! His temple – that means He lives within you. Your heart is His home. And He dwells with you daily (1Corinthians 6:19). Royalty – He says you are seated with Him in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). His masterpiece –created in Him for good words which He prepared for you before you were ever born (Ephesians 2:10 NLT). Fully capable by His power –You are able to accomplish “all things” through Christ, who gives you strength (Philippians 4:13). His possession –You are not your own, you belong to Him because you were “bought at a price” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). That means He protects you and provides for you as His own. That also means nothing can touch you that hasn’t first gone through His loving hands. Intersecting Faith & Life: So, why do we stress about our needs, our problems, our finances, our health, and our relationships? Is that our way of saying God has forgotten us and He won’t really be a good Father to His child? Through our stress and striving, are we saying to others around us, “I’m on my own because God won’t—or can’t—help me.” How you and I live day to day is evidence of what we truly believe. An orphaned child says, “I am all alone. I have no one to help me.” A child of God lives confidently in the words: “My Father is with me. And He will help me.” The more you reaffirm who you are in Christ, the more your behavior will reflect your true identity—a loved, well-cared-for child of the Most High God who never needs to stress or worry. Why would you want to live any other way? Further Reading:Romans 8:12-17 For more on living like a loved child of God, see Cindi’s book, Drama Free: Finding Peace When Emotions Overwhelm You.

Psalm 37:7 calls believers into a posture of stillness and trust when circumstances feel unjust or when others seem to undermine our plans. In this devotional, Jennifer Slattery reflects on the emotional turmoil that arises when people act against us—intentionally or otherwise—and how easily fear, anxiety, and anger can take over. Through the life of David, we see a powerful example of someone who endured prolonged opposition yet learned to rest in God’s sovereignty rather than react out of panic or revenge. Highlights Psalm 37:7 encourages stillness and patient trust in God’s timing. Opposition from others can trigger fear, anxiety, or anger if left unchecked. Emotional reactions often intensify situations rather than resolve them. David’s life shows both suffering and unwavering trust in God’s promises. God’s plans are not derailed by human sabotage or resistance. Waiting on God develops patience, perseverance, and spiritual maturity. God often works behind the scenes before His promises are visible. Believers are called to rest in God’s sovereignty rather than react in fear.

Full Transcript Below: Trusting God's Plans to Prevail When Others Come Against Us By: Jennifer Slattery Bible Reading: Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. - Psalm 37:7 How do you typically respond when someone does something to sabotage your plans or goals, or in some way makes your life difficult? What if they do this intentionally? Do you feel vulnerable and like they hold power over some aspect of your life? Do you find your anxiety spiking? And if so, does your fear ever present as anger and hostility? Sadly, I’ve reacted to such situations in each of those ways, especially when I felt the other person held power over something I considered important. This never yielded the results I’d hoped for. Most often, in fact, my reactions only made things worse. In some instances, my dysregulated emotions and the behaviors they triggered hurt me more than the “offense.” Although I still have much room for growth, I’m learning to follow David’s example, not just in today’s verse, but throughout his life. (His near homicidal rage in 1 Samuel 24 and his treatment of Bathsheba, which many scholars call rape, notwithstanding.) If you’re familiar with Old Testament history, you may recognize his long, fearful, and discouraging journey to the throne. The most prominent prophet of his day anointed him as ancient Israel’s future king when David was a teenager. But he didn’t step into his calling for another decade and a half. He spent much of the time in between living as a fugitive, hiding in caves and enemy territory in fear for his life. He knew God had glorious plans for him. Although he wrote psalms in which he seemed to express some degree of doubt, he trusted the Lord to do for him all that He’d promised. This trust, and the relational intimacy that supported it, allowed him to remain his godly, spiritually mature self, even when experiencing relentless attack. This amazes me when I consider the emotional weight he carried. When we first meet him, he stepped into a heroic role that gained him access to Saul, the then-reigning king. Soon after, the young warrior moved into the palace, where he faithfully served. He also led the nation of Israel into numerous victories, including against one of their fiercest enemies, the Philistines. One might expect Saul to respond with gratitude. Instead, he became jealous. Feeling threatened, he spent the remainder of his life pursuing David in order to kill him. As a result, David found himself forced from his home and his wife when Saul sent men to stake out his house, again, to kill him. During his flight, he sought help from a priest, who gave him bread and a highly symbolic sword for self-defense. He soon learned, however, that Saul found out and sent one of his men to kill all the priests serving at that particular temple—and their families. Women and children were massacred because one man offered David aid. Understandably, he blamed himself for their deaths. Can you imagine how that must’ve felt? Around age 30, David became king and brought peace to His people. He likely wrote Psalm 37 sometime during this time. Reflecting on his life, his suffering, and how God remained faithful through it all, David confidently proclaimed, in essence, to whoever might listen, “Don’t stress about the actions of evil men. God’s got you. Relax and wait for Him to lead you to your best life.” Intersecting Life & Faith: When we feel under attack and tempted to immediately jump into “fix it” mode, may we instead intentionally still ourselves before the Lord, which implies being still in His presence. That’s where we’re most apt to receive His comfort and strength and hear His perfect wisdom regarding how to respond to our circumstances. Entrusting our situation to God can feel incredibly uncomfortable. It becomes easier, however, when we remember His heart toward us, His power consistently employed on our behalf, and His faithfulness. We can choose to quietly wait on Him to reveal our best path forward, knowing He’s never wrong or ill-informed. He's also never late, although in my experience, his interventions rarely arrive early. It certainly didn’t for David! Although the Lord remained with him at every step and often worked behind the scenes on the warrior’s behalf, it took Him years to fulfill the promise He made to youthful David. That long, painful delay required significant patience and perseverance through a rather exhausting delay. David understood how difficult it can feel to wait, which is why, years later, he could advise his people, us, and countless others besides, to patiently wait on God—trusting Him to make our circumstances right. Friend, wicked people might make your present situation more painful and difficult than it needs to be. But they cannot thwart God’s very good, hope-filled plans for you. Remember that the next time someone does something that leaves you feeling vulnerable and threatened. Remember that Christ Himself guards your path and invites you to follow His guidance as He leads you to the glorious destination He determined just for you.

All eyes remain on the Middle East, especially Iran, as the conflict continues. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, Uncharted Ministries Tom Doyle and Hormoz Shariat of Iran Alive Ministries lengthened our prayer lists as they shared true stories of 7 Iranian pastors who are in jail for their faith in Jesus, the powerful story of Ahamad and how God brought the uncle who wanted him dead for his faith to the foot of the cross as well. We also heard about the massive spreading of the gospel in Iran and why estimates are that there may be up 5 million people there who are walking with Jesus. Once again Laurel Slade-Waggoner answered your questions about the most dangerous personality type including the difference between and overt and a covert narcissist. Apologist Justin Brierly explained that after decades of deception and confusion more people are turning away from atheistic & agnostic thinking to explain life and world and asking whether the God of the Bible really does have the answer to the mysteries of life. Believers are told to be winsome when sharing the gospel, but winsome does not mean weak or unprepared. Greg Kokul gave us practical strategies for creating productive gospel conversations including prompts to guide those talks and advice on dealing with criticism and personal fears. You are invited to another wide-ranging exploration of the headlines through the unflinching lens of God’s truth.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
