Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song and Praise
Third Sunday after Pentecost June 29, 2025 Faith, Okemos I Kings 19:15-16, 19-21. Psalm 16, Galatians 5:1, 13-25[26], Luke 9:52-62 The apostle Paul wrote, I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 …it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me… [And these words from Paul's letter to the church in Rome: Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore, we have been buried with him by baptism into death. So that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life…So you must also consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:3-4, 11] As I was preparing this week for a small group study of the life and writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, I thought a lot about his vocation as a pastor in Germany in the 1930's and 40's, about his participation in the escalating resistance to Hitler's Nazi regime. Dietrich came to believe that Christ truly lived in him and that Christ Jesus living in him did battle with the forces of darkness within his own soul and within the soul of the nation he deeply loved. My brothers and sisters, I believe that Jesus living in Dietrich also lives in now each of us. Know that in our restlessness and fear in this troubling time, Jesus is doing battle in and with us against our leanings toward despair and anxiety and cynicism, against our leanings toward disgust and hatred of other sisters and brothers perhaps in all three branches of our government with whom we may have come to increasingly distrust and despise. I think of the huge budget reconciliation bill now before Congress, a bill affecting countless of the poorest, the most vulnerable among us, a bill negatively affecting our efforts to conserve and preserve the Earth. Members of Congress and we whom they represent could easily give way to what St. Paul includes in what he calls “the works of the flesh”: heightened strife, anger, quarrels, dissensions, and factions. But if it is really true that “it is no longer [we] who live, but rather Christ Jesus who lives in [us]”, then our hearts, our words, and our behaviors radically change. Then these beautiful words increasingly become who we are: people of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. But let us make no mistake: as long as we live in a fallen world, we remain vulnerable to speaking and acting badly, even in a congregation so full of love as this one we so cherish. In uncertain, stressful times we could can be nasty or at least indifferent to each other. We could hurt one another even if unintentionally, whether we are young or old, whether new or long-time members. That was certainly true in the little church in Galatia. Harsh, ill-considered, judgmental words and behaviors toward one another threatened to irreparably break the bonds of love and kindness that held them together, wounds that effectively muted their witness to God's mercy and grace. The little church in Galatia and our congregation in Okemos, Michigan did have this in common: the same crucified and risen and healing Jesus Christ who lived in the Galatian congregation 2000 years later also lives in us. They were then and we are now the very presence of Christ! Individually and collectively, we are called to be the very presence of Jesus in this time and in this community whenever our love for one another and for our neighbors especially in Meridian Township is clearly expressed. But when these Galatian sisters and brothers sinned against each other, and if and when we sin against one another, this same indwelling God who spoke plainly and firmly in their hearts through this little letter to them from Paul, now speaks words of judgment plainly and firmly in our hearts. Christ Jesus dwelling in their hearts, this Jesus, through the Holy Spirit who convicted them of their sins, now truly dwelling in our hearts, will convict us of our sins against each other. But Jesus, the Son of God, gave them, and now will give us both the courage and the humility to repent, to put to death our pride and stubbornness, and to ask for forgiveness from those we have hurt. It has been and it will be a wonderful thing to be part of a congregation where members can courageously acknowledge to one another their lack of kindness or patience or gentleness or self-control. It has been and it will be a wonderful thing when we can say to one another, “Please forgive me” and to hear back, “I forgive you.” It is a wonderful thing when we regularly practice confession and forgiveness with one another! This practice may be the most primary, most powerful, deepest witness we can give to our own families, to our neighbors, to a country, to a world so divided, so full of hate. Confession and forgiveness “levels the playing field.” In it no one of us is either higher or lower than any of our siblings. Before God we are all sinners. And in Christ Jesus, we are all saints, truly cleansed and forgiven through Jesus' death on the cross for us. Until we reach our heavenly home heaven, we will always be both sinners who need to repent and saints who have been forgiven. There is great freedom is this dual reality. We are set free from having to prove how good we are, how much better or better behaved we are than others, how surely “we are right” and “they are wrong.” At the same time, we no longer need to wallow in guilt or remorse for how awful we are, for how badly and stubbornly wrong-headedly we've lived. Christ in our hearts continually sets us free! Jesus through the Holy Spirit struggles in us and with us and for us to name and dethrone the false gods that deceitfully promise a better, happier, safer life if we only we isolate ourselves, cut ourselves off from people with whom we disagree or whom we regard as beneath us. I want to witness to our life in following Jesus, who is our Life, who day after day resides in our hearts, a life that keeps getting richer and richer. I want to share a little of what that was like in my own life this past week. Just days ago Janet Boyer was on my mind. I called her and rejoiced with her in her gratitude to God for still having her voice after major thyroid surgery performed dangerously close to her vocal cords. Then I think the same day, I was asked to see Jane and her daughter and some close friends. Jane, a member of Immanuel, Grand Ledge, was in hospice care, just hours away from her death. Together we prayed and hugged and commended Jane into God's eternal embrace. Then I privileged to be with a developmentally disabled young man in jail who as I was leaving promised to pray for me as I for him. Then on Thursday evening Phylis and I were with a very crowded church in Grand Rapids, blessed by the presence of Nadia Bolz-Weber, a very down-to-earth, unpretentious ELCA pastor, who testified of the unending grace of God even in and from her mother's womb, the grace of God through years of drug addiction, and to this day sharing the beautiful fruits of the Holy Spirit with countless people who were lost… Nadia sensing even in her darkest hours that Jesus was not far from her. She could echo the words of St. Paul: “It is no longer I who live but it is Christ who lives in me.” With her we sang many songs that evening, songs including these two verses of Amazing Grace… I believe that experiences like those given to in these last few days…expressions of love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, given and received, are meant to be experienced by all of us, all of us in whom Jesus dwells, all of us whom Jesus calls to courageously follow him for the rest of our lives. Please sing with me “Lord Jesus, You Shall Be My Song” [ELW 808] Amen. JDS
Before God ever gave the world a prophet, a king, or a pastor—He gave the world a father. Before there were positions, platforms, or pulpits —there was a garden…and in that garden, God planted a man. Not as a ruler to dominate, but as a reflection of Himself— A cultivator, a protector, a name-giver…Fatherhood is sacred. Not just functional. Not just biological. Not optional. It's part of the Very Good design of God.
This Episode is a recording of a message delivered at First Baptist Church of Massillon on Sunday, May 4th, 2025. Notes No guest today. In addition to my work at WeddingChaplain.com, I am also a local church pastor. In May 2025, our church went through a series called "No Ordinary Family." For the first part of the series, I discussed my passion for wedding ministry and my book, Before God and These Witnesses: How to Start a Marriage Ministry to Save Your Church, Reach Your Community, and Change the Culture While You're at It. I share some of my favorite stories from my wedding ministry over the past twenty-five years: the good, the bad, and the crazy. I also call for our church and others to re-engage the wedding world. Churches should be the central place couples turn to when they get engaged. The church should own the wedding industry, not watch from the sidelines.

In this message, Pastor Marco explores the story of Abraham being asked to sacrifice his son Isaac. Before God would use Abraham to father many nations, He first tested what was in Abraham's heart. God was more concerned with who Abraham was becoming than with what he was called to do. Like Abraham, we shouldn't just ask God, “What should I do?”—but instead, “Who am I becoming?”

“I know the plans I have for you…to give you a future with hope.” That's a popular Bible passage, giving hope to people who are in a hard times, but it's only half of the story. Before God gives this promise, God says to settle down and make homes and families there – in this case, in a foreign country as refugees. Our faithful actions now – even if they seem small and insignificant – are part of ushering in God's promise of a future with hope. This message is presented by Pastor Sarah.The Scripture lesson comes from Jeremiah Chapter 29, and our Gospel is from John, Chapter 21.

Before God does something through you, often times he will do something in you. Before Peter and John saw the lame man healed in Acts 3, Acts 2 happened. They sought the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room, and the Spirit showed up, filled them up and sent them out. Listen as Pastor Joel walks through the story in Acts 3 to unpack 6 challenges in following a Holy Spirit prompt.

Teacher: Adam Barnett Responsibility – the state or fact of having a duty (an obligation requiring loyalty and faithfulness). We carry the responsibility of sharing God's love and truth with others (through word and deed). We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. - 2 Corinthians 5:20a An ambassador is the highest-ranking diplomatic officer, designated by a government as its resident representative in a foreign land. "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." 1) Promise: you will receive power. 2) Person: the Holy Spirit. Before God sent the Church into the world, He sent his Spirit into the Church. "Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But with the Holy Spirit, the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you." - Corrie ten Boom “Without the power of the Holy Spirit, our work will be drudgery. With it, it becomes a joyful task, a refreshing service.” - D.L. Moody 3) Purpose: to be a witness. “The church is closed today due to lack of power.” 4) Place: intentional and spontaneous. But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. - 1 Peter 3:15 5) Prayer: trust God with the outcome. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. - 1 Corinthians 3:6-7
Before God made you, he imagined all you could become. He had a clear imagine of you at your fullest potential, then he went about forming you individually, equipping you with every strength, gift, talent, attribute, trait, and passion to one day become all he imagined.

Before God used Gideon to defeat Israel's enemies, He told him to tear down the idols in his own home.

We talk real about sin, courage, spiritual warfare, and what it means to follow Jesus when it costs something. If you've ever felt the tension of truth versus acceptance, this one's for you.

The abundant life isn't found in our work for God. It's found through God's work in us. Before God can work through us, He must work in us. The abundant life is a life of eternal value with supernatural power, freedom, victory, and liberty. In John 10, Jesus called Himself the Good Shepherd. He guides us in how to live an abundant life, fully surrendered to Him. When Jesus talked about an abundant life, He was not talking about material prosperity or promising an easy life. Following Jesus can be very costly, but He is the only place where we find true freedom and satisfaction. The abundant life is the resurrected life! The power of resurrection only comes by way of a crucifixion. The abundant life is not found through commitment but through consecration. Consecration is more than commitment; it's about a crucifixion. You are consecrated to whatever you're willing to die for. Are you consecrated to the Good Shepherd? The abundant life is the obedient life. Following Jesus means trusting the Good Shepherd enough to do whatever He says to do. Through Jesus, you can have more than an average life. You can have an abundant life! ● Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: / abundantlifels Instagram: / abundantlifels ● Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: / philhopperkc Instagram: / philhopper_kc Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/ ● Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

In Part 3 of our Community series, we explore the power of unity and how it sets the stage for God's anointing, breakthrough, and presence in our lives. Looking at 2 Samuel 5, we see how Israel's unity at Hebron led to fresh anointing, new territory, victory over the enemy, and the return of the Ark of the Covenant. Unity isn't just about getting along—it's about making space for God to move. When the church is unified, we're positioned for greater impact. Before God expands a church, He unifies it. Before God moves in our lives, He calls us to unity. What could God do in your life if you truly pursued unity in your heart, home, and relationships? Join us as we unpack how unity fuels the miraculous and why division is one of the enemy's greatest weapons against the church. Don't miss this powerful message! From Sunday 02.23.25
Before God even created the world, He already had a perfect plan: He would send His only Son to die for us because He loves us more than we could ever imagine. When we choose to accept His gift of salvation, He writes each of our names in the Book of Life. He's calling us to Himself so that we can be saved from the destruction of this world's end, and spend eternity with Him.
Before God even created the world, He had a perfect plan already in place that the blood of Jesus would wash away our sin because He loves us more than we could ever imagine. His plan included each of us, His followers, by name in the Book of Life, and He is calling us to Himself so that we may be saved from the destruction of this world's end and spend eternity with Him.

Jezebel is always in close proximity to God's chosen ones. He or she has come to manipulate, control, distract, and destroy. This person is no stranger, but a character in your close network... friend, family, and even spouse/companion. Before God elevates you, you must be able to assess who your Jezebel is and manage them accordingly. You and I can only serve one God, therefore it's essential we remove them from any positions of influence or dominance. Be discerning, be disciplined, be blessed- not stressed.
Today we will finish our study in Luke 10. From thiswonderful chapter we have learned from the sending of the seventy (vv. 1-16),that we are to be ambassadors for Christ. We are His representatives,“standingin His stead, beseeching people to be reconciled to God through the blood ofHis cross”(2 Corinthians 5:18-21). From the story of “Good Samaritan” (vv.25-37), we are taught that as Christ followers, we should be “good neighbors”. Weshould be willing to take the time from our busy life to stop and help theperson closest to us that has a need of any kind. Now in these last verses of Luke 10, we are reminded not toforget that the most important thing that we are to be is worshippers (vv.38-42). Before God calls us to go as ambassadors, or serve in the house(church), He calls us to worship Him. We were created for the purpose ofworship! Jesus told the woman at the well in John 4:23-24,“But the hour iscoming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spiritand truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, andthose who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." You can't help but notice, especially when you study theBook of Revelation, that all of heaven and eternity is about worship. In theopening scene of heaven in Revelation 4:8-11, we find the “four livingcreatures” never resting day or night, as they give glory and honor and thanksto Him who sits on the throne saying,"Holy, holy, holy, Lord GodAlmighty, Who was and is and is to come!"Then the twenty-four eldersfall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives foreverand ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:"You areworthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created allthings, And by Your will they exist and were created." And Revelation 5:13-14 ends with another worship scene! Yes, we are created to worship. And for sure we willworship God, or we will worship someone or something else. If we are notworshipping God, we are worshipping ourselves, money, sports, cars, houses,work, or anything that consumes our attention, time, and pocketbook. The devil,just like he did with Jesus in Luke 4:1-12, will do everything he can to distractus from worshipping our Father in heaven, and many times it is with very goodand legitimate things. Martha got distracted with her service to Jesus! She was doingsomething that was very good and commendable. But Jesus pointed out that shewas “worried and troubled about many things(v. 41). Mary received Jesusinto her home and then neglected Him as she prepared an elaborate meal that Hedid not need! Certainly a meal was in order, but what we do with Christ is farmore important than what we do for Christ. Remember, it is not an either/orsituation; it is a matter of balance. Mary had done her share of the work inthe kitchen and then had gone to "feed" on the Lord's teachings.Martha felt neglected after Mary left the kitchen, and she began to complain andto suggest that neither the Lord nor Mary really cared! Few things are as damaging to the Christian life as tryingto work for Christ without taking time to commune with Christ."Forwithout Me ye can do nothing" (John 15:5). Mary chose the better, thegood part, the part that could not be taken from her. She knew that she couldnot live "by bread alone" (Matt. 4:4). Whenever we criticize others and pity ourselves because wefeel overworked, we had better take time to examine our lives. Perhaps in allof our busyness, we have been ignoring the Lord. Martha's problem was not thatshe had too much work to do, but that she allowed her work to distract her andpull her apart. She was trying to serve with the wrong spirit! If servingChrist makes us difficult to live with, then something is terribly wrong withour service! Today, are you taking time to“sit at the feet of Jesus”? God bless!
In the Christian life, faith can be seen in two ways. First, there is the single act of faith in Jesus that results in our salvation (John 3:16; 6:40; 20:31; Acts 4:12; 16:31; Eph 2:8-9). This refers to our justification before God and is a one-time event that is never repeated. Justification is declared because God has imputed His righteousness to us at the moment we trusted in Jesus as our Savior (Rom 5:17; 2 Cor 5:21; Phil 3:9). This results in our eternal salvation and is conditioned only on faith in Jesus (Rom 3:28; Gal 2:16), for “there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved” (Act 4:12). Second, after being born again, God calls us to a walk of faith where we continually trust Him at His Word and obey His directives (2 Cor 5:7; Heb 10:38; 11:6). The walk of faith focuses largely on what we think (Rom 12:1-2), say (Eph 4:15; Col 4:6), and do (Jam 1:22). God's Word sanctifies us as we walk by faith in Him (John 17:17), and this glorifies Him and advances us to spiritual maturity. Justification sets the ground for sanctification, but does not guarantee it, as the Christian must possess positive volition and make ongoing good choices that are rooted in divine viewpoint. Some believers, like the prodigal son, may turn to a sinful lifestyle. Faith that Justifies us Before God Our righteous standing before God starts the moment we believe in Jesus as our Savior. This is the Jesus of Scripture and history, and not a fake Jesus like those taught by Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, or one we create in our imagination. Jesus is the second Person of the Trinity; He is God in the flesh (John 1:1, 14; 20:28; Col 2:9). Prior to His incarnation, God the Son was involved in planning our salvation with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. God the Father sent God the Son into the world to fulfill a divine mission. God's Word tells us, “The Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world” (1 John 4:14; cf., John 4:34; 7:29; 8:29; 20:21). The Father's great mission was to make salvation available to everyone. This act of God was done in love, as it is written, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16), and “He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:10; cf., Rom 5:8). The Son agreed with the Father, saying, “I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me” (John 6:38), and “The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). When God the Son came into the world and took upon Himself humanity, He executed His mission flawlessly. The divine mission began in time and space nearly two thousand years ago when God the Son took upon Himself humanity. The writer to the Hebrews cites the words of God the Son as He was about to enter the world, saying, “Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says [to God the Father], ‘Sacrifice and offering You have not desired, but a body You have prepared for Me'” (Heb 10:5). The third Person of the Trinity, God the Holy Spirit, facilitated the mission by bringing about the hypostatic union within the womb of the virgin Mary (Isa 7:14; Luke 1:30-35; Gal 4:4). The angel Gabriel told Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:35). At the moment of conception in the womb of the virgin Mary, undiminished deity was combined forever with perfect humanity. Eventually, Jesus was born, and God “became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). The apostle Paul tells us, “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form” (Col 2:9). God's Word also informs us that Jesus was a Jew, born a son of Abraham, in the line of David (Matt 1:1), the promised Messiah (Matt 1:1, 16-17; John 1:41). Jesus grew in human wisdom (Luke 2:40, 52) and lived a perfectly righteous life before God and man. The record of Scripture is that Jesus “knew no sin” (2 Cor 5:21), was “without sin” (Heb 4:15), “committed no sin” (1 Pet 2:22), and “in Him there is no sin” (1 John 3:5). In His humanity, Jesus walked in perfect conformity to God the Father's holy character and divine revelation. This is important, for Jesus' sinless life qualified Him to go to the cross and pay the ransom price for our sins. Jesus said, “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). When the divinely appointed time came for Jesus to go to the cross (John 12:23; 13:1), He went willingly (Isa 53:10; John 10:18). Just hours before the crucifixion, Jesus said to His Father, “I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do” (John 17:4). Then He went to the cross and “offered Himself without blemish to God” (Heb 9:14), and “gave Himself for our sins” (Gal 1:4). Jesus paid our sin debt by means of His “precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ” (1 Pet 1:19). While on the cross, “Christ died for our sins” (1 Cor 15:3), and He died in our place, “the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God” (1 Pet 3:18). Jesus' death on the cross was a one-time event, as He “offered one sacrifice for sins for all time” (Heb 10:12). After Jesus paid for all our sins, “He said, ‘It is finished!' And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit” (John 19:30). Jesus' death on the cross satisfied every righteous demand of God the Father concerning the payment for our sins (Rom 3:25), for “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2). Jesus paid the price for all our sins. There's nothing more to pay. After Jesus died, He was placed in a grave and was resurrected to life on the third day (Acts 2:23-24; 4:10; 10:40; 1 Cor 15:3-4), never to die again (Rom 6:9). Because Christ died for everyone (John 3:16; Heb 2:9; 1 John 2:2), everyone is savable. The Bible tells us that God has brought “salvation to all men” (Tit 2:11), that He “desires all men to be saved” (1 Tim 2:4), and is “not wishing for any to perish” (2 Pet 3:9). Once we understand who Christ is, as God in the flesh (John 1:1, 14), and what He has accomplished for us on the cross—having died for our sins, was buried, and raised again on the third day (1 Cor 15:3-4)—we can then exercise our faith by trusting in Him as our Savior. To receive salvation, the unbeliever is told to “believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31a). Jesus is the object of our faith. To believe in Christ as our Savior means we trust Him to accomplish for us what we cannot accomplish ourselves: eternal salvation from the lake of fire. Faith in Christ is the only condition for salvation. Faith does not save; Christ saves. Faith is merely the instrument by which we receive the free gift of God, which is eternal life. Though the gift was very expensive for the Lord, it is offered totally free to us, for “the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 6:23). And it is “by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Eph 2:8-9). Only the empty hand of faith accepts the gift. It offers nothing but is open to receive that which is offered by another. God's gift is available to everyone, for “whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16), and “he who believes has eternal life” (John 6:47). No payment is required from us to receive it. It's a free gift. The only sin that keeps a person out of heaven is the sin of unbelief, the individual choice NOT to trust in Jesus as one's Savior. The one who rejects Jesus as Savior is judged by God on the sole ground that “he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18). These are the ones who “are always resisting the Holy Spirit” (Acts 7:51; cf. John 16:8), who “do not believe” in Jesus as their Savior (John 16:9), and “are unwilling to come” to Him so that they “may have life” (John 5:40). Those who willingly reject Christ as Savior will, after death, experience eternal separation and punishment away from God for all eternity, for “if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” (Rev 20:15). This need not happen. Hell is avoidable for the one who trusts in Christ as Savior, for “whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16), and “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36). Salvation is a free gift from God (Rom 3:24; 6:23), offered by grace alone (Eph 2:8-9), through faith alone (Gal 2:16; 3:26; 2 Tim 3:15), in Christ alone (John 14:6; Acts 4:12), totally apart from human works (Rom 4:4-5; Eph 2:8-9; Tit 3:5). For lost sinners, the matter is simple: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). Once we have trusted in Christ for salvation, God then bestows on us forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43; Eph 1:7), the gift of righteousness (Rom 5:17; Phil 3:9), eternal life (John 10:28), and many other blessings (Eph 1:3). And having entered into a relationship with God through Christ (John 1:12; Gal 3:26), we are then called to a life of holiness and righteousness (1 Pet 1:15-16), as we learn His Word (2 Tim 2:15; 3:16-17; 1 Pet 2:2; 2 Pet 3:18), walk by faith (2 Cor 5:7; Heb 10:38), and advance to spiritual maturity (Heb 6:1). This new walk with God will honor Him and edify others (Eph 4:1-2; 5:1-2). Dr. Steven R. Cook
Before God can use us to impact others, we first need to go to Him for wisdom in using what He's given us. Part of being a follower of Christ is allowing Him to call the shots in every area of our lives -- including our money. When we seek His will first in our finances, He not only blesses us, but He blesses others through us.
Before God created the heavens and the earth, He thought about us. This Podcast is about God's thoughtfulness.
Before God gives the Law to Moses on Mount Sinai, He commands that Israel be consecrated. Another word for “holy” to be consecrated means to be pure and set apart, and the consequences are literally life and death. Find out why God calls Christians to be consecrated and what it means to live a holy life for Christ on Earth.
Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. Let's look first today at what Noah did. He literally prepared a wooden box (an ark) to save his family from a rain that he had never seen happen. Therefore, his obedience wasn't motivated by reason or natural understanding. We know it was an act of radical obedience simply because of the enormous size of the ark and therefore the time required to complete the project. Second, let's be encouraged by the fact that Noah prepared the ark in reverence. The Greek word translated reverence here was translated piety in Heb. 5:7. “In the days of His flesh, He (Jesus) offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.” It means both Jesus and Noah received well what God told them to do. It describes an attitude of heart that is devoted to accomplishing the will of God. That's why they both received grace to obey, and God gets the glory. We have been commanded to love one another as proof of being Jesus' disciples. Faith enables us to receive Jesus' commandment well, which moves us to confidently seek God for grace to love for His glory. Third, let's consider why he built the ark. I see two motivations in this verse. God told him to, and he loved his family. So the two motivations were obedience and love. Let's note what drove the obedience and love. It was faith—faith that rose up within him when he heard God speak. But Noah wasn't always a man of faith. In Gen. 6:5, God described Noah along with everyone else on the planet at that time. “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Then in 8-9 we find an unexpected declaration. “But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD…Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.” Noah was like Enoch. God chose to act favorably toward Noah. He didn't deserve it. God's grace to Noah was a favor, an act of 100% grace, not a reward for good deeds. Before God revealed Himself to Noah, every intent of Noah's heart was only evil continually. At some point in his life, God gave Noah faith. He believed he continuously walked in God's presence and that God would reward him if he continuously drew near to Him. It was by faith that Noah built the ark and loved his family. Fourth, Noah inherited the righteousness of Christ, which is given in accordance with faith. If God gives faith, then God gives righteousness. They are a package given in love. If we believe in Jesus Christ and intentionally practice abiding in Him, drawing near to Him for grace to trust and love, then we also are heirs of righteousness. Like Noah, may we receive well God's call to live to love with Jesus. I encourage you to draw near to the throne of grace all day, in every situation and relationship. You are building your ark one plank at a time by faith for the benefit of those you love.

Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, continues in our Christmas series.Waiting is one of life's hardest challenges, especially when it feels like God is silent. Whether you're praying for healing, financial relief, or a breakthrough, it's easy to wonder if God cares or if He's even there. But God's silence doesn't mean His absence. His delays aren't His denials, and while you're waiting, He's working—often in ways you can't see. Before God works for you, He's working in you, building trust, patience, and a deeper reliance on Him.At just the right time, God sent Jesus to save the world, reminding us that His timing is always perfect. If you're struggling in a season of waiting, take heart: God hasn't forgotten you. He loves you, and He's working all things together for your good. What if the God you're waiting for is waiting for you?Missioncity.church_______________________________Sermon Notes are available at missioncity.church/watch/

“Before God shifts you to a higher level, a higher dimension in Him, there will likely be a battle. The battle causes something on the inside to get tougher, your faith to become more prominent. When you fight and win, not only do you gain ground, but you can now keep the ground.” – Carlos Rivera
Before God does a great work through you, He wants to do a great work in you. Your Father wants you to be secure in him and to draw you close … to show you who He is and to speak to who you are. In this sermon, Brandon Stacey talks about the importance of knowing who, whose and what we are in our fight for the faith. Before we can contend, we need to know we are called by God. His grace, mercy and love calls us and gives us guarantees in our fight.
Now that you've made peace with your past, what is your next step? Are you afraid of repeating failures you've made before? Before God set Joshua out for the new season, God had a private dialogue with Joshua to tell him exactly what he needed to know. Joshua needed to know what he was doing, who he was doing it with, where he was going, and why. But God did not tell him how. God told Joshua only what he needed to know so that he could process and move forward with the same courage he had 40 years prior, the moment he was deemed a failure by human standards but a success by God's standards.

When facing a new season, there is something missing in our day and age that we need to be doing. We go go go, move on to the next without a thought about anything that's in our past that may still be deeply affecting how we step into the new season. We need to take the nation of Israel's lead and make space to grieve and mourn the bad things, make peace with the things we won't be able to get over, like the death of a person, and celebrate the good things. Before God even called Joshua to lead the nation of Israel into the Promised Land, God gave them a GIFT of time to mourn, make peace, and celebrate Moses' life. What things of your past are affecting how you step into the new? Monologue: Autumn shares her experience with her six week sabbatical and a special gift her husband gave her. Message: Autumn dives into the private conversation God had with Joshua and what believers can take from His words to Joshua. Question: “How do you handle your best friends moving in together when they're not married?” Praise Report: A listener shares how God restored them after she and her husband were victims of a scam that put them in a position of asking for help, endless phone calls with authorities, and facing financial burdens they never faced before.
