Where do you go when you're in trouble? When you have messed up, when you sinned and you know it, who do you go to? Our natural tendency is to hide our sin or pretend it never happened. When we sin, we hide from God. Today we are going talk about praying for forgiveness. When we are caught in sin, we ask God for forgiveness and He does! God promises to forgive us because Jesus has already paid for our sins. Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, July 6, 2025, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.Powered by Restream https://restream.io/(Bensound Royality Free background music)

Pastor Ben Kilcup preaches on James 1:5-8.

Purposeful prayer includes repentance. Forgive us our sins, help us to forgive others, because while we are at odds with creation we can't hope for petitions to be heard or granted.If we want God to hear and provide, we can't make requests with sin-filled hearts.Asking God to help you forgive others is a recognition of our spiritual weakness. Refusing forgiveness is a spiritual weakness.Our sin accrued a debt. Christ paid that debt. And so God is faithful to forgive.Matthew 6:12 is about your relationship with God.You have a debt. Christ paid the debt. God erased and continues to erase the debt while the Spirit tries to keep you out of debt.Forgiveness is free. Fellowship comes at a cross.Proof of your relationship with God is a merciful disposition.Matthew 6, Mark 11:24-25, James 1:13-14, 1 John 1:9, Ephesians 4:32, Romans 5:8, Romans 12:19-20

In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. (1 Kings 3:5) 1/ Asking God to give to us personally . 2/ Some things to be asked to be given . 3/ The proof of that given . Sermon summary The sermon explores the significance of approaching God in prayer, drawing from the account of Solomon's request for wisdom. It emphasizes the importance of articulating the reasons behind our petitions, mirroring Solomon's thoughtful rehearsal before asking, and highlights the Lord's willingness to bestow spiritual gifts like wisdom, The Holy Spirit, grace, and rest. The message underscores the need for faith and discernment in our requests, cautioning against asking for selfish or worldly desires, and ultimately affirms that God's provision will be evident through the transformative impact on our lives and the lives of those around us, demonstrating His grace and faithfulness.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Mark Blumenthal from Charlotte, NC. Mark, your partnership with us through Project 23 is a testament to your faith and a blessing to us. This study is for you. Our text today is Mark 8:11-13: The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.— Mark 8:11-13 The Pharisees show up again—not to listen, but to argue. They demand a sign. Not because they're curious—but because they're testing Jesus. And Jesus responds with a deep sigh—not the frustrated kind, but the disappointed kind. The sigh you make when someone just doesn't get it. He says: “Why does this generation seek a sign?” The irony is Jesus has given them plenty of signs. Healing. Exorcism. Bread. Fish. Hearing. Sight. Storms calmed. But these religious elite are not looking for evidence—they're looking for control over a situation that is scaling beyond their control. And Jesus doesn't play their game. He doesn't cave to pressure. He doesn't bend to cynicism. He walks away. This is a sobering moment. Jesus doesn't chase them. He doesn't argue back. He gets in the boat and moves on. Some people don't want to believe and surrender—they want to control and stay in charge. And that's the Pharisees. They have not come to inquire of Jesus or have any desire to follow him. They merely want Jesus to play by their rules. And we can all fall into the same trap. We think: “God, show me something and then I'll believe.” “Fix this first, and then I'll trust you.” “Give me a sign, and then I'll surrender.” But that's not how belief and faith work. Faith moves before the sign. It steps out without a guarantee. It trusts in Jesus—without forcing his hand. There's a huge difference between asking by faith and demanding with pride. One walks toward Jesus. The other makes Jesus sigh and walk away. Jesus, I don't want to test you—I want to trust You. Help my faith walk ahead of the sign I think I need. Amen. #FaithNotSigns, #TrustJesus, #Mark8 ASK THIS: Have you ever asked God for a sign to prove Himself? How do you respond when God seems silent? What's the difference between testing God and trusting Him? How does pride keep us from surrender? DO THIS: Choose to trust Jesus today in one area where you've been waiting for proof. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I don't want to test you—I want to trust You. Help my faith walk ahead of the sign I think I need. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Trust in You” by Lauren Daigle.

Series: N/AService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Justin Monts

In this episode, we'll discusses the struggles many men face in breaking free from destructive habits like pornography and masturbation. Based on scripture, we'll outline three key conditions for achieving spiritual fulfillment and joy: recognizing one's deep thirst and desires, believing in the truth and promises of the word of God, and asking the Holy Spirit to dwell in one's life. 

I'm gonna be real with you—if you're stuck on someone who confuses you, this episode is for you. You're not crazy. You're not weak. You're just caught in a cycle that was never meant to keep you.I know what it's like to crave the person who leaves you overthinking every text, praying for a sign while ignoring all the red flags. I've been there—calling it love when it was really emotional addiction. Asking God why it hurts while still holding on to the thing that's draining me. You say you want peace, but you keep chasing the storm. You call it chemistry, but your spirit calls it chaos. So let's talk about it—soul ties, spiritual confusion, and the psychological addiction to people who never fully choose us. God is not the author of confusion. And if someone is leaving you anxious, exhausted, and doubting your worth… they're not your person. They're your lesson.This episode isn't just advice—it's a wake-up call. Let this be the moment you finally choose clarity over confusion.You're not meant to be addicted to what God is trying to remove.✨ Stay Connected with Me! ✨

In this episode, I walk you through six powerful Bible passages that create a roadmap for Christian wellness. These passages can guide you toward healing, whether you're dealing with chronic fatigue, whether you need autoimmune healing, or whether you simply want to align your health journey with your faith. Together, we'll explore:

Pentecost A Sermon by Brenard Rowe, Elder at Victory Church in Providence, RI.   Introduction and Opening Remarks Expression of gratitude for the opportunity to minister. Acknowledgement and prayer for the pastor's recovery. Personal anecdote about being asked to preach on short notice. Setting the Context: Pentecost Sunday Explanation that Pentecost is recognized as the birth of the church and a pivotal event in Christian doctrine. Emphasis on the empowerment of the disciples by the Holy Spirit and the ongoing relevance of Pentecost. The Role and Power of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit transforms believers from fearful followers to bold witnesses. The Holy Spirit provides strength, peace, wisdom, unity, and equips believers for service. Biblical Foundation Reference to Acts 2:1-4 describing the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Jesus' instructions to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-5, Acts 1:8). Importance of receiving the Holy Spirit before undertaking ministry. The Experience of the Early Church Disciples' state of confusion and despair after Jesus' death. Fulfillment of Jesus' promise through the coming of the Holy Spirit. The supernatural signs accompanying the Spirit's arrival (wind, tongues of fire, speaking in tongues). Speaking in Tongues Definition: A supernatural language for worship and communication with God. Old Testament examples of the Spirit coming upon individuals (e.g., Moses' elders, Gideon, Samson, Saul's messengers). New Testament affirmation of speaking in tongues as evidence of Holy Spirit baptism. Instances of Holy Spirit Baptism in the New Testament Jerusalem (Acts 2:4): Disciples receive the Holy Spirit. Samaria (Acts 8:14-17): Believers receive the Spirit through the apostles' laying on of hands. Saul/Paul (Acts 9:17): Receives the Spirit after Ananias lays hands on him. Cornelius' house (Acts 10:44-48): Gentiles receive the Holy Spirit while Peter preaches. Ephesus (Acts 19:1-6): Believers receive the Holy Spirit through Paul. Benefits of Being Filled with the Holy Spirit Power for ministry (Acts 1:8). Spiritual refreshing (Isaiah 28:11). Ability to witness and reveal Christ (John 16:13-14). Inner strength and comfort (John 15:26). Spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). Spiritual quickening (Romans 8:11). Who Can Be Filled with the Holy Spirit? Everyone: Rich, poor, young, old, sinners, saints, children, etc. Reference to Psalm 81:10 as encouragement to receive. Who Cannot Be Filled with the Holy Spirit? Those satisfied with mere salvation and unwilling to serve. Disobedient and unyielding Christians. Those who do not believe or are closed off to the Holy Spirit. Conditions for Receiving the Holy Spirit Repentance and baptism (Acts 2:28). Asking God with faith (Luke 11:13). Deep conviction, consecration, and willingness to live for God (John 7:37-39). The Ongoing Work of the Holy Spirit in Believers Teaches and makes believers teachable. Enables true worship and confession. Guides prayer and leads by God's word. Conclusion The Holy Spirit is the comforter and helper sent by God. Encouragement to be open to the Holy Spirit's work and to fulfill commitments in service to God and the church.

I had the absolute joy of talking with Dr. Dave Jones—and what a powerful conversation it was! He shared his personal journey from religion to deep Kingdom revelation, and how a divine encounter opened his eyes to the truth of who we really are in Christ.Dave carries a bold vision to see sons and daughters awakened to their true identity and walk in Kingdom authority—not someday, but now. We talked about leaving behind fear-based thinking, accessing the unseen realm, and living from the spirit as a daily reality.His story is full of heart, hunger, and Holy Spirit fire. Get ready to be stirred!BIO:Dave grew up in Western Pennsylvania and spent most of his early childhood and adult life in and out of hockey rinks around the world; playing in cities such as Ottawa, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids. His love and skill for hockey lead into a professional career in Europe playing in many countries including Luxemburg, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland and finally Germany.For over 13 years, Dave has worked NHL, NFL, Track and Field, and CrossFit athletes with their mental preparation, and hundreds of organizational leaders and executives around the world. Dave's personal vision is to unify excellence in the marketplace. He has founded 4 thriving companies in the Raleigh, North Carolina community. Dave Jones has B.S. in Management Studies from the University of Maryland, European Division.He also earned his Doctorate in Sport Psychology in 2024 after a long pursuit and determination. Dave is a sports consultant who coaches CEOs, executives, professional athletes to help achieve their vision, by executing and developing mental skills training, and enhancing thought blocking techniques.He works with organization leaders on their strategy, execution and communication, and managing the gaps between employees and management.As a thought leader and highly motivated individual, Dave engages executive teams by consulting on analytics, oversight of talent initiatives, and one-on-one coaching. He helps leaders improve the effectiveness of their organizations, by utilizing practices such as strategic planning, mental skills training, organizational assessment, and team interventions.Dave and his wife Laura currently reside in Raleigh, NC and have two young boys.HIGHLIGHTS:Slapshot to SalvationA literal slapshot to the face (yes, like broken-nose, nerve-damage kind of slapshot) became the divine wake-up call that pivoted Dave's life. Sometimes it really does take a hockey puck to the face to hear God clearly.Jesus Over HangoversAt 16, fresh off a state championship and a hangover, Dave had a holy interruption when his brother from Moody Bible Institute asked him if he wanted to keep living like that—or receive Jesus. Hungover or not, Dave said yes to Jesus.Grace-Fueled GritHe barely passed high school, but chased knowledge like a beast and just finished his PhD (hello, Dr. Dave!)—proving that being “not academic” doesn't disqualify you when God's the one writing your story.Marketing Ministry that Moves MountainsDave has been running M is Good for 24 years, managing $1.6 million a month in ad spend for 38 Christian orgs globally. It's not just marketing; it's ministry with strategy and Holy Spirit-led messaging.Turtle on a Fence Post WisdomHis favorite analogy: if you see a turtle on a fence post, you know it didn't get there by itself. That's how he sees his journey—with God as the one lifting him higher than he could ever climb on his own.God doesn't always pick the obvious candidates—so relax.Dr. Dave reminds us that God tends to use the least expected people to do powerful things. You don't have to be a marketing guru to start a Christian marketing business (he sure wasn't)—you just have to say yes and be willing to figure things out as you go.Confidence isn't always spiritual—it can come from just doing what you love.Confidence doesn't have to float down from heaven on a cloud. Sometimes it's built in the trenches—or on the ice rink. Dr. Dave leaned on the grit and resilience he learned from sports to push through early business doubts and roadblocks.Ask the hard question: “Am I usable?”While soaking in a worship song about being used by God, Dr. Dave had a wake-up moment. He asked himself if he was actually in a place where God could use him. That led to some personal soul-searching and change. A humbling reminder that being “called” doesn't mean skipping character work.Don't over-spiritualize—just listen, think, and align.Dave's not the type to claim burning bush moments. Instead, he hears from God through alone time, journaling, and reading Scripture. His method? Follow peace, check the fruit, and if it's not hurting anyone (including himself), take a step forward and see if things line up.What knocks you down doesn't define you.That slapshot to the face (literal blood and trauma) taught him a deep truth: Painful events don't get to label you. Whether it's a business failure or personal screw-up, it's just a moment—not your identity. Shake it off, reset, and remember who you are.“If you don't like who you are, you can change it” — and Dave did!One simple statement from a mentor changed everything for Dave. He turned off the TV for two years, devoured 30 books, and jumpstarted a whole new trajectory for his life. Bookworm phase = Destiny shiftThose two years of focused reading didn't just upgrade his mindset—they altered his impact. Talk about a ripple effect! Sometimes the quiet seasons with a stack of books are what set you up for legacy-level impact.Divine ambush in GermanyOn what was supposed to be just a business trip, Dave gets singled out by an apostle at church, receives a powerful word, hits the floor, and has a Holy Spirit encounter that shakes him to his core. Not your average business travel story.The birth of “R7” from a spiritual downloadThat prophetic moment planted a seed that grew into his full-blown life and business framework: R7. It came through soaking, wrestling, believing—and waiting. God even sent mentors for each piece of it, for free. That's what we call Kingdom provision.He didn't shelve the word—he stewarded itEven though he didn't act right away, Dave didn't dismiss or forget the word he got in Germany. He sat with it, prayed about it, and waited on God's timing. That's a masterclass in how to honor a word from the Lord without rushing it.LINKS for DR.

You've been praying… but nothing's changing. In this powerful message, Dr. Eric Thomas explains why many of us are still stuck even though we're seeking God. The truth? We're out of position. You can't receive divine blessings while ignoring divine order. From the covering of God's cloud by day to the loyalty of Jonathan, ET unpacks what it really means to walk in alignment — and how rebellion, even subtle, delays destiny. Whether you're in a season of needing to be covered or being called to cover someone else… this message will realign your spirit and your strategy.

Let’s be honest—most of us have questions we’re holding close to the chest. Why am I struggling? Why didn’t God intervene? Why now? The beauty of faith isn’t in pretending we don’t have questions—it’s in knowing exactly where to take them.

The tune for this song is the Scottish air ‘Ae Fonde Kiss,' and the Psalm acts as a benediction prayer. Asking God's gracious blessing on all people and all nations, it also recalls God's kindness and sustaining presence and asks for God's face to shine on us all.Continue your reflections with the accompanying journal, which includes further questions for reflection and some invitations to prayer and practice.Paid subscribers receive a free journal PDF, or you can purchase a paperback versionVisit the Celtic Psalms website for scores/books, mp3s, CDs, and videos for May God Be GraciousFind out more about the Habits for the Spirit course: an 8-week online course exploring habits and daily spiritual practices to promote wellbeing in body, mind, and spiritFollow Kiran's monthly reflections on Bless My FeetPsalms for the Spirit is a reader-supported publication.

It's vulnerable to ask for what we need or desire. Opening our hearts to others cultivates connection and trust but also leaves us susceptible to rejection and disappointment. And it's no different in a relationship with Jesus — depending on him wholeheartedly always requires risk.Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi talk about the nuances of prayer. The closer you grow to the Good Shepherd, the more you'll sense him move you away from transactional prayer and into a conversational relationship. It's in this space of vulnerable interaction that you become more confident in Jesus' love, grow in self-awareness, and develop a larger capacity for emotional honesty and empathy. Resources for this Episode:Attend a Soul Shepherding RetreatMeet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

Have you ever asked God for a miracle? I have.Why not? We know and believe that God is all-powerful.When you are all-powerful, that means that it takes you no effort to do anything that you do.How difficult was it for God to create the universe? It was not difficult at all. It took no effort. How difficult to create my soul? Easy.How difficult is it for Him to work a miracle? He can work any miracle that He wants, at any time, no problem. Curing cancer, removing tumors, raising from the dead, curing blindness, whatever.Besides this, it seems that Our Lord wants us to ask for miracles.His word about having faith the grain of a mustard seed. “the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith. And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou transplanted into the sea: and it would obey you” (Lk. 17:5-6). This seems to be a gratuitous miracle, without any purpose, and Our Lord is saying that they could ask for that.Our Lord working so many miracles without being asked. Today's miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes happened, even though there was no request or faith.Two Masses of this week will give us Our Lord's two greatest miracles: the raising from the dead of the son of the widow of Naim and the raising of Lazarus; in neither case was Our Lord asked to raise them from the dead.Meanwhile, there are many occasions in the Gospel when Our Lord immediately grants a request for Him to work a miracle. Most often, after He works the miracle, He praises the person for asking for the miracle and tells them it was because of their faith that He granted it. It seems that the manifestation of our faith by asking a miracle delights Him.Besides this, Our Lord encourages us to pray for whatever we need. His words are so strong and encouraging! “Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.” (Lk. 11:9-10)

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: God's Will for Your WorkDevotional: 4 of 4The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. (Psalm 37:23-24)We've been in a series exploring biblical truths for discerning God's will for your work. Here's the fourth and final I'll share:Truth #4: Some Christians need to spend less time discerning God's will and more time doing God's will.Now, notice that I didn't say “spend no time discerning God's will.” That would be unbiblical and foolish as the wisdom of seeking wisdom from the Lord is everywhere in Scripture (see Proverbs 3:5-6, James 1:5, etc.).The problem is that many of us spend so much time worrying about God's will for the future that we never get around to doing his will in the present. This stands in stark contrast to the example of Christ's followers in Scripture. Take Paul as an example. Yes there were times when Paul waited on the Lord in prayer (see Acts 13:1-2, Acts 16:6-10, etc.). But as pastor Jerry Sittser explains, the New Testament offers no hint that Paul agonized about the will of God as it pertained to the future…If we sense any agony in the heroes of Scripture, it is not in discovering the will of God but in doing it.”Now I hear what you're thinking: OK Jordan, so long as I am seeking to obey God, I have lots of freedom in the decisions I make at work. I get it. But I still have a decision to make! So how do I choose? Let me suggest 3 practices that put the truths we've learned in this series into practice.#1: Pray and ask God for wisdom. But as I mentioned before, don't be surprised if his answer is, “you choose.” #2: Seek wisdom from Christians who understand your work. This could be a small group in your church, a Christian Employee Resource Group at your company, or my own Mere Christians Community (which is open for enrollment this week).#3: Flip a coin. Absent an exceptionally clear answer from God or others, choose whichever option you want. Still can't decide? Flip a coin. As music producer Rick Rubin explains, “When the coin is spinning in the air, you'll likely notice a quiet preference or wish for one of the two to come up. Which are you rooting for? This is the option to go with.”God's will for your work is that you would work with him and be obedient to his commands. That gives you tonsof freedom to make decisions today. Maybe you need to stop asking God about his will and start doing his will. Because as Saint Francis de Sales once said, “Deeds give God far more glory than any amount of time wasted in trying to discriminate between good and better.”

New year, new podcast episodes

Paige is delighted to welcome Alysha Hill to this week's episode of BLOOM Talks! Alysha is a gifted administrator who has a hand in helping the organizational aspects of Church on the Rock flourish and operations effectively flow. Alysha is the wife of Executive Pastor Jonathan Hill here at COTR and a devoted mom to Cambrie and Noah.  In this episode, Alysha shared about asking God about our identity and how powerful that practice can be! As we learn to receive our identity from our Creator, there are so many beautiful opportunities to walk in the freedom that knowledge produces. God delights to show us the unique ways He has made us. As we walk in the fulness of our identity in Christ, we are able to understand that we belong and are cherished as highly valuable in the mundane as well as the highlights of our lives.

If you have found yourself overwhelmed with the burden of making everyone's life perfect or happy? Today, on the Life On Purpose Podcast, I am talking about the power of stepping away and finding clarity through distance. In this episode, I discuss: Asking God to help you lay down what doesn't belong to you. Talking it out with other friends and family and avoiding isolation. Establishing healthy boundaries. Your physical or mental health. If your involvement has to do with your self-worth. Enjoy

Episode 165: Faith Fueled Goals We want you to be equipped to reach your goals. Enjoy these 6 steps guide you 1. Seek God first. (Matthew 6:33) Asking God to direct your day, your To Do list, and everything you do. We have to get out of the way and let Him lead us. Our goals should line up with His goals for us. 2. Ask God. (Matthew 7:7-8) We must seek, ask, and knock. Continue to seek, ask, knock, while allowing Him to guide you. Stop doing and then asking God to bless it. 3. Trust in the Lord, Not Yourself (Proverbs 3:3-5) Don't assume, guess, or feel your way through life. Don't rely on your own understanding. Trust from a higher perspective as you seek God's perspective. Trust is a firm belief in the reliability, the truth, the ability, and the strength of someone or something. 4. Be diligent about your plans, but trust God's timing. (Hebrews 6:12) Daily enter into the process of doing your part to move toward your goal. Be patient, do the work. 5. Transform and Renew Your Mind. (Romans 12:2) How? By the renewing of your mind as you read and study God's word. We are not to conform and do what everyone else is doing. We are told to think differently and to love others more than ourself. 6. Think positive thoughts. (Philippians 4:8) Positive thinking is the food for your mind. Spiritual warfare takes place in the mind. Think on the things that are true, pure, and praiseworthy. This is how to follow God and achieve your goals - which should line up with His goals for you. His has a plan and a purpose for you. Friend, He loves you and His plan for you is good. You can trust that what He is doing is for His glory and for your good. We are here for you.

Asking God for our “daily bread” is a petition for him to fill our physical and spiritual hunger. Fr. Mike breaks down this simple yet profound petition that reminds us of our reliance on God for all our needs. In this part of the Lord's prayer, we turn to God with childlike hearts, trusting that he will nourish us with all the appropriate material goods and, above all, with the Eucharist. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2828-2837.

God brings breakthroughs to our lives so we can experience new fruitfulness in the season that follows. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our response to God's interventions for us. The shepherds in the Christmas story show us how God's plans are fulfilled through the breakthroughs He initiates. Pastor Allen teaches from this perspective, sharing lessons we can learn about accepting God's intervention in our lives. He also provides five steps we can take to overcome the burden of rejection: forgive, lay down our baggage, know we're accepted in Christ, accept ourselves, and find our place in the body of Christ. Asking God for breakthroughs and accepting the new things He reveals to us will help us find more freedom in our lives—and become more effective participants in His Kingdom.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate
