We had the privilege of learning from Pastor Austin from Beloved Church this Sunday! He led us through the book of Malachi, reminding us of God's faithful love and His invitation to return to Him with our whole hearts. We were challenged to consider what we're giving to God and whether we're offering Him our best or simply what's left over. Ultimately, Malachi points us to Jesus, who meets us in our unfaithfulness and brings restoration through His grace.-----------Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9AM & 10:45AM.Decided to follow Jesus?

1. Glorious Church 2. Active Members 3. Divine Assurance The sermon presents a reflection on the Church as Christ's beloved bride, emphasizing her glory, unity, holiness, catholicity, and apostolic foundation, rooted in God's eternal election, Christ's redemptive sacrifice, and the Holy Spirit's work through the Word. It calls believers to embrace their identity as active, living members of this divine community, rejecting cynicism and complacency while affirming the necessity of church membership, mutual service, and spiritual accountability. Drawing from Ephesians, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Psalms, the message underscores that the Church's permanence and security are grounded in God's sovereign grace, assuring believers of their eternal belonging and compelling them to live in joyful, self-giving fellowship. The sermon concludes with a call to reverence the Church, not as a flawed institution, but as the redeemed body of Christ, worthy of love, defense, and unwavering loyalty.

In this episode, Greg and Nathan explore the New Testament letters—from Romans to Jude—and how they reveal the struggles, growth, and grace of the early church. They discuss how the apostles, especially Paul, pastored these young communities through conflict, confusion, and theological questions. From justification and sanctification to unity and correction, these letters show what it means to be a gospel-shaped community—still messy, still growing, but held together by grace. Whether you're new to the Bible or have read it for years, this episode will help you see the letters not as distant doctrine, but as deeply personal words that still speak to today's church. Why did God choose so many letters—and what do they mean for us now?

When Pastor Cassell walked into Self Evident’s recording studio, we had no idea what we were in for.

Gabe directs behind the scenes for the podcast and just wait until you hear him at the table!In addition to Gabe, we have Pastor Will Chung, the Lead Pastor of Beloved Church in Buena Park, CA, the people's padre, Adam Mesa and Chelsie. We haven't had a debate in a while, so we thought, we'd have another! This episode unfolds a profound conversation revolving around the complex role of language and representation in contemporary Christianity.Another contentious yet intriguing subject discussed was the use of cussing in Christian communication. Yes, we said CUSSING. The conversation evaluated reactions to Tim Ross's use of cuss words in his podcast, assessing whether this communicative approach could potentially attract people to the faith. The discussion also reflected on historical instances such as Paul's use of a cuss word in the Bible for emphasis. This thought-provoking episode encourages self-reflection, understanding, and dialogue, reminding us of the need for compassion, conviction, and clarity in our approach to evangelism and the necessity of recognizing and addressing the power of language within Christianity.So, grab your tea or coffee and join us in this weeks conversation.--Get connected with our guests:Will Chung https://www.instagram.com/willkchung/?igshid=Y2I2MzMwZWM3ZA%3D%3D--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Get to know some of the team:@amesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Gabe - does not have instagram@chelsiebaham https://www.instagram.com/chelsiebaham/@nancysnavas https://www.instagram.com/nancysnavas/

Shepherd's Community Church Sunday Service - 07/11/2021 - To the Weak Beloved Church The sixth letter of Christ to his churches in Revelation 2-3 is the most encouraging letter by far. In it Christ encourages and expresses his love for the weak but faithful church of ancient Philadelphia. In this sermon, we will explore what can learn from the way Christ speaks to this church in Revelation 3:7-13, and how we can become more like this church.

In the wake of the murder of George Floyd by the MPD in our neighborhood, we are giving space for our clergy of color to share their stories and perspective.

Give me your young, your old, your faithful masses yearning to worship freely. This revision of The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus could well be the rallying cry of Pastor Steve Cassell of Beloved Church in Lena, IL. On this edition of Spotlight, Pastor Steve joins me for a timely discussion regarding the perilous intersection of COVID-19, governmental “authority,” and Constitutionally-guaranteed personal liberties. Pastor Steve and I consider how churches and people of faith should respond to Illinois' lockdown and examine the dangerous precedent that could be established by our governor's abuse of his executive power. We also detail some of the horrific consequences of the lockdown, as well as the incredible opportunities for the Church to be an instrument of God's healing and restoration in the midst of the pandemic. If you would like to know how you can support Pastor Steve in his fight for religious freedom and personal liberty in our state, you can reach him at (815)-908-0321 or contact him at PastorSteve@BelovedChurchIllinois.com
