“This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” (Hebrews 4:15–16 NLT) When hardship strikes some people, they will turn away from God. If something bad happens to them that doesn’t make sense, they conclude there can’t be a God—or that if there is a God, He doesn’t care about them. So, they turn against Him and essentially find a belief system that accommodates their feelings. It should come as no surprise that the devil does some of his most effective work during times of hardship and suffering. Given half a chance, he’ll turn our attention away from the big picture of God’s plan to strengthen, nurture, and care for us through our struggles and difficulties. Instead, the devil tries to shift our focus to the smaller picture of our immediate circumstances. He’ll appeal to our sense of privilege. “Why should I have to face any hardship or suffering? Why doesn’t God do something about it?” But God isn’t to blame for our difficulties and struggles. Trials and hardship are the byproducts of a fallen world. We suffer because we sinned. God is the One who gives us hope amid our suffering. Jesus said, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world” (John 16:33 NLT). To give us that hope, God had to suffer, too. Jesus Christ was God incarnate, and no one ever suffered like Jesus. Not only did He endure the physical pain of being whipped, beaten, and crucified, but He also bore the sins of the world on Himself as He hung on Calvary’s cross and cried out, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” (Matthew 27:46 NLT). When you’re suffering, you need to know that you’re talking to a God who knows what you’re going through. You’ll find in Jesus a merciful High Priest and a faithful friend who feels your pain. Hebrews 4:15 says, “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin” (NLT). We can’t live in a pain-free world, as much as we would like to try. When trouble comes (and it will come), when crisis knocks at your door (and it will knock), you can either become angry at God or turn to Him and trust in Him. Here’s your choice in life: You can become better or bitter. It’s usually one or the other. When something bad happens, you can say, “I’m mad at God. I’m bitter with God.” Okay. That’s your choice. But you can also say, “I’m going to trust in God. I’m going to cling to God.” And you will become better as a result. It’s really up to you. Reflection question: What situation in your life right now has the potential to make you either better or bitter?

Today, pastor Ray Bentley reminds us of the Bible's warnings against false teachers. It just grieves me, though, that there are still people that are susceptible to weird false teachings, false prophets, cults, and then there's money involved, and you kind of pay your way into the upper echelons of deeper secrets and knowledge and all the rest of it. So be watching and be, you know, wary and be warned.

This week’s message from Hebrews 10:32–39 carries a deeply personal note. Before the sermon, we sang “Walk by Calvary”—a song written by my dad, Dave Garrett. He wasn’t just a pastor; he was a songwriter who lived out Colossians 3:16, letting the Word of Christ dwell richly through hymns and spiritual songs. For me, his words are a heritage of faith, pointing me (and now all of us) back to the cross. He was about centering everything on Christ. I can’t think of a better way to step into Hebrews’ call to remember and endure than by remembering the faithfulness of God through the song of a man who lived it. This sermon is from the "Greater Than" series through Hebrews at La Mirada Christian Church. Listen to the complete series ‪@LaMiradaChurchChannel‬

Pastor Ray Bentley says revelation speaks to believers and unbelievers. God says, I love you. I made you. I want you to be adopted and born into my family. I've made a place for you. I want you if you want me. We're together for all of eternity. God loves you. That's the message to the unbeliever, to those who are believers. His message, basically from the book of Revelation, is this. Don't quit. Don't give up.

Some people want to focus on some spiritual experience they've had. Pastor Ray Bentley says, focus on God's Word. The Word of God is even better than an experience because the Word of God abides forever. God says, I've exalted my word above my name. Therefore you do well to take heed to the written word of God. Heed the word as a light that shines in a dark place.

Pastor Ray Bentley says, Jesus wants us to come to him by faith. I want you to know that first we put our faith in Jesus and confess him, and then he gives us the wonderful confirmation of experience. Now, quite honestly, if God wanted to, he could just have sent Jesus burning and dazzling seven times like the sun and everybody go, well, obviously he's the Messiah.

When Did God Begin to Love Us?Romans 5 tells us that God demonstrated His love for us not when we were striving to live righteous lives, but while we were still pursuing sinful ones. If He loved us in that condition, how much more must He love us now that we belong to Christ?

Join Pastor Shawn and the gang at Calvary Birmingham as they study the Bible verse by verse and chapter by chapter. In this episode, we continue our study in Luke with chapter 13.

If we're really believers, pastor Ray Bentley says it'll show one of the signs that you're actually born again is that you're growing because you're saved. And you're, like, running from that life of the past that brought you to brokenness and repentance in the first place. So if you're not really wanting to grow, then where is your assurance or confidence that you really know the Lord?

1 Corinthians 3: Diet and Exercise (1 Corinthians - Untangling Church) taught by Pastor Dave Rolph on 08-24-25.

Jesus fulfills the law of God for us, through his life, death, and resurrection. When we come to God's mountain, Jesus is our way to God, and to his everlasting party in heaven.

Why is the Christian witness in this world no longer plausible? Why doesn’t it seem to shine as true anymore? Paul told the Philippians that their citizenship was in Heaven—as is ours—and it seems many Christians have forgotten it…

The closer you get to the cross, both the actual one and the daily cross of self-denial, the smaller the crowds you will find around you. When Jesus starts His earthly ministry, He picks 12 men as His disciples, begins preaching, and soon there are thousands following Him. But a funny thing begins to happen, the closer Jesus gets to the cross at Calvary, the more people are offended and leave Him. Why do you suppose that is?

The church received the power in the midst of a Holy Ghost fire explosion. The fire of God came down. This is not when the church was supposed to end. This is when the church was just a baby. Many people have been to Calvary for pardon but we need to go to pentecost to get the power. This message will help to set you on fire for God!

Ibelieve what we're talking about today is one of the most important things wecan talk about in the Bible and especially in the New Testament, and that is theforgiveness of sins. The forgiveness of sins, and knowing that we'reforgiven. Yesterday we started looking at Ephesians 1:7, and there it tells usthat “in Him we have redemption through His blood”. We explained thatyesterday. Redemption through the blood. How His blood has redeemed us, has setus free from our sin, has paid the ransom price to a holy God so that we do nothave to stand guilty before Him. And then next He says, "And theforgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace."  Oneof the greatest feelings I have ever had emotionally, mentally, spiritually, inany way, humanly speaking, was the day that I knew I was forgiven for my sins.February 21st, 1971. God didn't hold my sins against me any longer. The guiltwas gone. The darkness was gone, and the burden was lifted. In the NewTestament, the forgiveness of sins is the central theme of the gospel message. Itemphasizes God's mercy and His grace through Jesus Christ. It addresses thefact that man is a sinner. That man is a fallen creature. Man is separated fromGod. Man is alienated from God. We're separated from God by our sin. And “thewages of sin is death”. The payment for sin is death. But my friend, “thegift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).  Goddoesn't forgive us because He loves us. Many people have that mistaken idea,but that's not true. God forgives us because He sent His Son to die in ourplace for our sin. Jesus took the penalty for our sin. He took the guilt. Hetook the shame. He took all of it, the death of our sin upon Himself and diedin our place in a substitutionary way. Our sin was imputed to Him and Hisrighteousness has been imputed to us, and therefore being justified by faith wehave peace with God (Romans 5:1). The word justified means now we have a rightstanding before a holy God. We're no longer guilty before a holy God.  Theonly way to be forgiven is to first recognize that you need to be forgiven.That you find yourself under the weight and guilt of your sin and you have noway to deal with that. Going to church, living a good life, doing good deeds,doing anything you're trying to do to remove your sin. The sacraments,religion, nothing can remove your sin. No priest, no man on earth can removeyour sin, my friend. Only one person can, and that is Jesus Christ through thedeath, His death on the cross of Calvary. And when we acknowledge that, then wecan cry out to God for forgiveness in repentance of our sins. Atthat point, we express our faith and trust in what Jesus did for us on thecross. And that's when the moment of salvation takes place and we are forgiven becausewe have a Savior, Jesus Christ. There is no other way (Acts 4:12). Oh, nogreater experience than to be forgiven. And that's the love God has for us(John 3:16). He sent His Son to die for us. Love is expressed in the fact thatHe does forgive us through His mercy and the grace of Jesus Christ on the cross. That'swhy when we forgive those who trespass against us those who hurt us we areexpressing not our love because our love is pretty faulty at best, but we'reexpressing God's love because God is love and God only can forgive sin and myfriend you have experienced that, it's then for Christ's sake that you canforgive others, not that they deserve it any more than we deserved it.  Well,this is a great truth. We have the forgiveness of sin according to the richesof His grace. Have you been forgiven? I trust you have.  Godbless!

Salvation is a free gift. Christian growth requires some work. Pastor Wright says the effort is worthwhile. It is worth pressing for the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. It is worth the effort. God rewards those he said that diligently seek him. You seek me with all your heart. You will find me.

Men, we are in a fight. The world is trying to strip us of our faith, silence our voices, and make us conform. But the truth is this: Christ has already won. From the 20th Sunday in OT, Fr. Dom shares his recent experiences on pilgrimage, ministry, and the frontlines of the faith. You'll hear about the authentic pilgrimage through Italy walking in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare, the power of worshipping with 1.1 million young Catholics at a youth rally with the Holy Father, and the profound gift of the Holy Mass, our greatest weapon in the battle for souls.This isn't about comfort. It's about sacrifice, endurance, and courage. It's about laying your very self on the altar of sacrifice every single Mass. That is where strength is forged. That is how we set the world on fire for Christ.If you're tired of being silent. If you're tired of compromise. If you're ready to fight for your family, your Church, and your soul, this homily will equip you with clarity, conviction, and challenge.3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:“Every Mass we go to is Calvary in a supernatural way.”“Stand up for the truth, we will be persecuted sometimes. But what a gift—God says that's a gift.”“You're so focused on the offertory and putting everything on the altar, because it's going to be radiated in a supernatural way the Church teaches.”Key Takeaway for Men: At every Mass, lay your very self—your struggles, your family, your sins, and your victories—on the altar of sacrifice. This is not optional. This is how men become holy, strong, and prepared to fight.Send us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Today we start reading Paul's letters to the Corinthians. The believers there had been converted from the foolish philosophies of the Greeks who believed in a spirit after-life; also in many gods of their imagination – of whom they erected idols. We have had a parallel experience in going into Indian temples in recent years..Paul says, “The Jews demand signs and the Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and folly to the Gentiles.”  We can understand their reaction to a message built around a man who was crucified!   But that was the ‘bare bones' of the picture!What a wonderful meaning to life and of hope in the future sprang from the terrible event at Calvary that we have just read in Mark's Gospel.  The next words of Paul are, “but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” [ch.1 v.22-25]Paul then asks them to “consider your calling, brothers; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.  But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God” [v.28,29]   The scribes and the Pharisees were brought to nothing!The worldly wise indulge in another kind of boasting today – that, in the ‘wisdom' they have acquired through present human ‘scientific' deductions,  they have come to the ‘knowledge' that there is NO God!   In contrast, our wisdom is to recognise what turned the thinking in the world of the First Century upside down – as to the meaning of life; “It was not a wisdom of this age” [2 v.6] says Paul, then he stresses that, “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God, that we might understand the things freely given to us by God.  And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit… [v.12,13]And God's Spirit caused Paul and the other apostles to write things down so that we can feed our minds on this spirit inspired word.  Remember how Jesus told his disciples, “The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” [John 6 v.63]  Let us make sure our minds carefully and prayerfully feed on God given food every day.

Pastor Ray Bentley says, God never lets go of us, but neither does he let us off the hook. I think that our father in Heaven sometimes allows us in situations where we stomp and we pout and we cry and we kick and we scream and we throw ourselves around and he goes, you're not quitting. You're not quitting on life, and you're not quitting on me.

Salvation doesn't come by the good works we do. But pastor Ray Bentley says, once we're followers, we'll do good works. Salvation is a gift that you don't earn it. But once you are saved, then you work that salvation out. Why? Because it is God who is at work in you, and he is the one giving you the will, both the will and the power to do his good pleasure spreading.

For the rest of this season, we are releasing the Main Session messages from this year's CGN International Conference.This year's conference was held at Reliance Church in Temecula, CA - and the Theme was: “The Way Forward: Ministry According to Jesus” - in which we studied through the' “Upper-Room Discourse” in John 13-17.The second message of the conference was taught by Pastor Daniel Williams — Lead Pastor of Calvary Chapel of the Palm Beaches, on the East Coast of Florida.The text is John 13:34-35 & 15:14-15, and the title is "A New Commandment"

"I'm about to do something brand-new" is indicative of God's promise of renewal and transformation.  In order to continue moving well in this new life in Christ, thank Him not just for His present help in our lives, BUT also for His sacrifice on Calvary and gift of eternal life with Him. This new life is a gift of God's grace, made possible by Christ's sacrifice and resurrection. Also, in order to continue moving well in this new life in Christ, ensure your mind and behavior are transformed. Actively and continuously change your thinking and actions to one that reflects God's character [e.g., love, kindness, and holiness].

Receive His Grace, Not in Vain • Part of our midweek verse-by-verse study through 2 Corinthians.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 20th of August, 2025 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of Luke 17:17-18:”So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” I want to say to you this morning, don't forget to say, ”Thank You.” That's all we've got to say, ”Thank You.” Jesus healed ten lepers. Only one out of the ten came back to say, ”Thank You”, and he wasn't even a Jew. He was a foreigner. What about you and I today?I remember many, many years ago, going to a beautiful church in Midrand in Johannesburg. As I walked into the doors of that church, there was a big neon sign up in the front of the church which said, “Missionary work is gratitude for Calvary.” That has stuck with me all these years. I'm talking maybe over 30 years ago. People go to the mission field because they want to say “thank You” to Jesus for what he has done in their lives. It is so sad when a man gets despondent when he says, ”I've done all this work for these people and not one of them appreciates it.” If you are doing it for Jesus, your reward will be from Him. : ”And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”Matthew 25:40That is why we go to the mission field. That is why we are determined to tell people about Jesus Christ, because we are not doing it even for the people, we are doing it for Him, because He told us to go into all the world and to preach the Gospel to every creature. When I fell in love with the Lord Jesus Christ, on the 18th of February, 1979, I could not contain myself. I wanted everyone to have the peace, the joy and the love in their hearts that I had, and that is why I would do the most outrageous things when I look back on it. It wasn't for any self-gain at all. It was just my way of saying, ”Thank You Jesus, for healing me, for setting me free, for giving me new life.” He says, ”Every time you do it to somebody who can't give you anything back, you are doing it for Me.”Now, today, let us not be like the nine who just went away and forgot to say thank You to the Master. Let us be like that one foreigner who came all the way back and said, ”Lord, thank You for healing me.”Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Pastor Ray Bentley says, we need to remember we're on the winning side in spiritual warfare. There are times when you get intimidated by overemphasis izing the enemy. Rather than emphasizing the greatness of our God, the greatness of our Savior, the greatness of the power of the Holy Spirit. We don't stand against Ray Bentley, against the devil. You laugh.

The Results of JustificationPaul concludes that, through Christ, we now have peace with God, access to His grace, hope in tribulation, and the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
