Send us a textIn this episode, Pastor Dom teaches about the great commission and it's impact on taking communion. Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. Matthew 28:17- 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.Mark 16:14…He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Hebrews 13: 55…For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”Ephesians 1:1313In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,Acts 1:99 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”John 16:77 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.Mark 16: 2020 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

Message Summary (by OpenAI) Title: “Lord, Teach Us to Pray – Part Two: Kingdom, Power, and Glory Forever” Speaker: Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Main Text: Luke 11:1 | Matthew 6:9–13 Introduction Dr. Bryan Hudson continues his teaching series based on the Disciples' request to Jesus in Luke 11:1, “Lord, teach us to pray.” The message narrows in on the concluding phrase of what is commonly known as the Lord's Prayer: “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:13) Rather than a line to recite, this statement is a declaration of divine ownership, authority, and purpose. Dr. Hudson emphasizes that believers are called not only to pray this truth, but to live in it, sustain it, and ultimately become kingdom. I. Immersed in the Kingdom of God Not just experiencing the Kingdom — Believers are called to become Kingdom. Like language immersion makes one fluent, immersion in God's ways makes believers fluent in the Kingdom. Jesus taught us to prioritize God's reign: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”(Matthew 6:33) Key Statement: “If you seek the Kingdom, things will find you. You don't have to chase after blessings.” II. How to Sustain God's Kingdom, Power, and Glory in Your Life Dr. Hudson identifies four foundational principles that sustain a life infused with God's presence and purpose: 1. Faith in God Trusting God's character and promises. Root of spiritual stability and resilience. 2. Prayer Ongoing, intentional communication with God. Modeled by Jesus and commanded to His disciples. 3. Quality Decisions Definition: A decision made with clarity, alignment to God's Word, with no retreat. Quality decisions reflect maturity and purpose. They allow believers to move forward without being hindered by past mistakes. Examples of Quality Decisions: Moses choosing to suffer with God's people (Hebrews 11). Ruth choosing loyalty to Naomi, leading to her place in Jesus' lineage. Jesus choosing God's will over His own in Gethsemane. Examples of Poor Decisions: Esau trading his birthright for temporary satisfaction. Saul disobeying God and offering unauthorized sacrifices. Judas betraying Jesus. 4. Agreement The power of walking in unity with others in purpose and direction. Dr. Hudson explains Amos 3:3 as “agreement to walk together,” not “agreement on everything.” True agreement requires shared purpose and relational unity, not identical opinions. III. The Power of Agreement A. Biblical Agreement Matthew 18:19–20: Jesus promises to be present where two or three are gathered in His name. Agreement brings authority: binding and loosing — declaring what is proper or improper according to God's will. Agreement leads to divine presence and intervention. B. Misused Agreement: Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) The people were united, speaking one language, and agreed to build a tower to glorify themselves. God intervened by confusing their language, breaking their agreement, because: They were united in self-exaltation. The principle of agreement was valid, but the purpose was wrong. Key Insight: “Right principle, wrong people, wrong purpose.” IV. Biblical Unity and Corporate Purpose A. 1 Corinthians 3:9 “For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building.” Without agreement in purpose and practice, there is no fruitful ministry. The church must function in unity, not uniformity. B. Psalm 133 Unity is compared to oil flowing from the head of Aaron — symbolizing divine blessing and anointing. Unity is the place of commanded blessing. V. Application to Life and Ministry A. In Marriage and Relationships Agreement doesn't require total sameness, but commitment to shared purpose. Dr. Hudson uses humorous examples from his marriage to illustrate mutual compromise and unity. B. In Church Life God's power is available, but we must come into agreement and unity to access it. No agreement = No blessing. The power and glory of God are not “awaited” — they are present and available when we are aligned with His kingdom. VI. Confession of Faith, Unity, and Purpose The sermon concluded with a corporate confession, reinforcing the message's themes. Believers affirmed that they: Walk in purpose Live in divine power Make quality decisions Serve with unity Are becoming “kingdom” through immersion in God's ways Are fellow workers, fields, and buildings of God “Forever starts today.” Agreement with God and one another allows believers to experience His kingdom, power, and glory in their lives now, not only in eternity. Final Charge and Prayer Summit Invitation Pastor Hudson invited the church to a corporate prayer summit, underscoring the importance of gathering in agreementas a church body. He exhorted believers to show up physically, not just spiritually, emphasizing that God is waiting on us, not the other way around.

When Jesus spoke about being His disciple, it contained some pretty overwhelming requirements to even qualify for a shot at the position. It's not unusual to see the world of religion try to "Christianize" something Jesus said that was specifically intended for those to whom He was speaking ... Jewish people who were still under the Mosaic law, before the cross. It meant hating family by comparison, carrying your own cross, and giving up ALL possessions. Jesus wasn't speaking to you but was showing would-be followers that they would be unable to cover the cost of what was needed. Only He could carry that cross in order to bring redemption. Compare the rigorous conditions of being a disciple of Jesus with this: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:28-30). Notice the difference between working through your dedication and commitment at trying to become more like Jesus by what you do ... compared to letting Him release you from such a burden. --Available on Amazon - "Clash of The Covenants: Escaping Religious Bondage Through the Grace Guarantee" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0713ZSKY7

« Pour ceux qui aspirent à la plus haute félicité, le Yoga Vasistha est pareil au nectar. C'est un puits de sagesse. » Swami Venkatesananda. A ceux qui désirent connaître le sens de la vie, on prescrit depuis la nuit des temps la lecture et l'étude des Ecritures. En se fondant sur de telles sources, ils ne sont jamais induits en erreur. Le Yoga Vasishtha décortique la conscience, notre perception du monde, sa dissolution ultime, la libération de l'âme et la création de l'univers, du point de vue du sage libéré. Parmi les grands monuments fondateurs de la pensée hindoue, il est une référence incontestée en matière d'Advaita Vedanta. Abondamment citée par les grands maîtres, cette oeuvre intemporelle fait partie de ces textes radicaux qui vont droit à l'essentiel, bousculent et répondent à toutes les questions. Attribué à Valmiki, voleur devenu sage, également auteur du Ramayana, le Yoga Vasishtha présente l'enseignement du saint Vasishtha à son élève, le prince Rama, alors en proie au doute et au découragement. Ses trente-deux mille versets dispensent la connaissance ultime, depuis la création du monde jusqu'à la transcendance absolue qu'est notre identité véritable. Ses multiples éclaircissements, ses contes révélateurs regorgeant d'analogies et ses répétitions nécessaires, tant l'ego et le mental sont retors, font de l'enseignement de Vasishtha un guide fiable. Il apaise immanquablement et le tourbillon des pensées ralentit pour laisser poindre peu à peu la quiétude. Disciple proche du grand maître de Yoga et de Vedanta, Swami Sivananda [1887-1963] de la Divine Life Society de Rishikesh, Swami Venkatesananda [1921-1982] nous offre ici la quintessence absolue du Yoga Vasishtha. Parue en anglais il y a bien longtemps, sa traduction est la version de référence. L'essentiel, autant que l'essence des trente-deux mille versets de l'oeuvre originale, s'y retrouve, inaltéré, dans toute sa pureté et sa puissance salvatrice. Troisième section du Yoga Vasistha traitant de la création. Ce chapitre traite de l'irréalité de la création. Bibliographie: Le Yoga Vasistha par Swami Venkatesananda, traduction de Patrice Repusseau, éditions Inner Quest (https://www.babelio.com/livres/Venkat...)

Jesus exhorts his apostles "do not be afraid," inviting us to discern the fears in our hearts as we cast them out with our faith in Christ. (Lectionary #388) July 12, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com
Why would anyone in 2025 spend any time reading Deuteronomy, Israel's covenant renewal book? Maybe the only answer is because Jesus did. Yet did not Jesus in Matthew 19: 1-9 declare Deuteronomy 24 : 1-4, a teaching on divorce, to be an accommodation to human hard heartedness? It sounds like that for Jesus Deuteronomy is “out” and Genesis 2:4-6 is “in.” But, wait a minute! Also in Matthew, chapter four, Jesus at one of the great crisis moments of his life, in answer to Satan's temptations in the wilderness quotes Deuteronomy authoritatively three times as the word of God for Jesus. Jesus was immersed in the Old Testament scriptures and quotes Deuteronomy as a well taught child would quote Deuteronomy as the word of God for his life. So maybe Deuteronomy is not a waste of time! 2 Timothy 3:15-17, written to a Christian believer by an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, says of the Old Covenant Scriptures, “You have been taught the holy scriptures since childhood, and they have given you wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” (New Living Translation) So we are called to read Deuteronomy and all Scripture, Old and New Covenant, through the lens of Jesus the Lord, and in the power of the Spirit. Come join us as we submit ourselves to Jesus who promises us that Deuteronomy will “prepare and equip us for every good work.”
