After reading Daniel 10, one may be tempted to ask, “Why does this matter to me?” Often, when reading Bible passages with complicated content, it can be easy to miss the relevance in our own, modern lives. However, as “spiritual warfare” is the focus of Daniel 10, our role in what the Bible presents as […]

You don't have to be alone to feel lonely. Many working Christian moms spend their days surrounded by coworkers, family, church members, and endless responsibilities—yet still carry a quiet ache of feeling unseen, disconnected, or unknown. Loneliness isn't always about having too few people around you. Sometimes it's revealing that something is keeping you from experiencing the kind of relationships God created you to have. In this episode, we're answering the question, "Why do I feel so lonely?" from a biblical counseling perspective. Together we'll explore how busyness, disappointment, fear, and self-protection can quietly isolate us, and what Scripture teaches about finding meaningful, Christ-centered community. If you've been longing for deeper friendships, wondering why you still feel lonely despite a full life, or struggling to find your place in the church, this episode will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and encourage you toward one faithful next step. In This Episode You'll Learn: ✔ Why loneliness isn't always caused by being alone ✔ How busyness can quietly isolate us ✔ Why disappointment and fear often keep us from being fully known ✔ What the Bible says about biblical community ✔ Practical ways to begin pursuing meaningful Christian friendships ✔ Why Jesus understands loneliness—and how He meets us in it Scripture Mentioned Genesis 2:18 Hebrews 10:24–25 Galatians 6:2 Romans 12:9–18 John 13:34–35 Mentioned in This Episode If you're tired of living overwhelmed and want practical, biblical guidance for creating healthier rhythms at home, work, and in your faith, my Faithfully Balanced course was created specifically for Christian working moms who want to live faithfully instead of frantically.

In this episode of Kingdom Now, Pastor Karl continues the verse-by-verse study through Matthew 18, picking up where Jeff Stemple left off. Building on the disciples' question of "who's the greatest?", Karl unpacks Jesus's answer: none of us are — apart from Him, we're all dependent and called to humble, childlike faith.Walking through verses 7-20, Karl explores how Jesus's kingdom is neither casual about sin nor stingy with mercy. He digs into Jesus's strong warnings about cutting off whatever causes us to stumble, the parable of the wandering sheep (and why it's different from Luke 15's version), and God's heart to pursue those who wander — even when they know exactly where home is. The episode closes with practical, biblical steps for restoring relationships when a brother or sister sins against you, emphasizing that the goal is always restoration, not winning.A convicting and grace-filled look at how radical discipleship requires taking sin seriously while never giving up on people.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Chapter 9 of Daniel reminds us that our God is “awesome!” And, with the same “awesomeness” of His character, He both judges and saves. Since He is perfectly righteous, He must judge those in rebellion against Him, while, at the same time, bring salvation to those who repent, believe and accept His offer of forgiveness […]

Join New Hope, as Youth Pastor Kyle Denny walks through a passage in 1 John 1. In honor of Father’s Day, we’re going to look at what it means for us to have fellowship with our spiritual Father.

Church growth is a gift, but it comes with real challenges. In Acts 6, the early church faced a crisis when rapid growth caused some of its most vulnerable members to be overlooked. Rather than slowing down or shutting the doors, the apostles restructured, delegated responsibility, and built a team capable of caring for everyone. The result was not less growth but more. A healthy church grows relationally, not just numerically, and every believer plays a role in making sure no one slips through the cracks. That means connecting with people you do not know yet, interceding for one another, inviting people into your everyday life, and serving where there is a need. Rest is also part of the equation, because sustainable faithfulness matters more than burning out. The mission has not changed: making disciples who carry the presence of Jesus into every area of life.Support the show

Friend, I want to talk to you about something that has carried me through the hardest year of my life — something that didn't exist three years ago, and something I almost didn't start because I was scared, tired, and a little bit hurt. In this episode, I'm sharing the full story of how this podcast came to be — including the season I lost my voice trying to be strategic, the prompt from the Lord to come back to my roots, and the prayer call I didn't want to start that has now been carrying me for two and a half years. This is the lesson midlife has taught me, and the one I want to leave you with: you don't find your community. You create it. In this episode, I share: The behind-the-scenes story of my podcast — from Educated, Empowered, Inspired to Marketing Tips for Small Businesses to where we are today as Midlife Made Simple The moment I realized I had lost my voice trying to be "strategic" The fall morning the Lord nudged me to start a prayer call (and why I really, really didn't want to) What two and a half years of weekly prayer has actually looked like — and what we've prayed each other through Why God removes people from your life as preparation, not punishment The one question to ask yourself this week to start building your own community Why going first — and not waiting for reciprocation — is the move The most quoted line from this episode: "You don't find community. You create it." One question to sit with this week: What do I crave? A prayer group? A walking buddy? A monthly dinner with friends? A book club that actually talks about the book? Name it — and then take one small step this week to start building it. Mentioned in this episode:

Marks of Biblical Community, part 2God's Blueprint for a Healthy Church1 Timothy 5:1-16Dr. Ken MitchellWestside Chapel | May 17, 2026

Worship with us 9 + 11 AM 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010. For more information or to get connected, please visit: www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit What was Jesus' vision for His church and why does biblical community matter so much? In this powerful message from Ephesians 4, we continue the Why Church series by exploring one of the most important and challenging callings for followers of Jesus. Unity in the body of Christ. In a world shaped by division, isolation, and individualism, this sermon reminds us that Jesus did not design His people to follow Him alone. He calls us into deep spiritual community centered on Him. This teaching begins with a profound question. Is the version of Christianity we are living closer to Jesus' vision for His church or closer to a private and isolated faith shaped by culture? Drawing from Jesus' prayer in John 17 and Paul's words in Ephesians 4, this sermon reveals that God's desire is not simply individual spirituality but a people united together in Christ. Throughout this message, we see that unity is not something we create through personality, preferences, or agreement on every issue. True biblical unity is rooted in Jesus Himself. There is one body, one Spirit, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father over all. This changes how we see one another and how we live together as the church. This sermon also addresses the tension many believers feel when they hear about unity. It can seem impossible. People are different. Relationships are difficult. Pride, fear, selfishness, and hurt often stand in the way. Yet Paul reminds us that the Christian life is impossible apart from the power of God. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is at work in His people, making possible what feels impossible to us. As the message unfolds, we are challenged to examine our posture toward others. Are we living with humility, gentleness, patience, and love? Are we eager to maintain unity or are we allowing culture to shape the way we relate to people? This teaching honestly confronts the reality that many Christians have unknowingly embraced an individualistic faith that stands in contrast to the vision Jesus prayed for. One of the central themes of this sermon is that the church is not meant to be a performance or a weekly event. It is a people being formed together into the likeness of Christ. God uses community, prayer, worship, communion, Scripture, and shared burdens to shape His people. Spiritual growth was never intended to happen in isolation. This message also provides practical encouragement for how believers can move toward deeper community. Read Scripture together. Pray with others. Invite people into your life. Move toward relationships instead of withdrawing from them. As believers gather together around Jesus, the church becomes a powerful witness to the world of God's love, grace, and reconciliation. You will also hear powerful reminders about identity in Christ. Followers of Jesus are chosen, redeemed, forgiven, adopted, and filled with grace. Before any role, career, title, or achievement, believers are sons and daughters of the Most High God. This truth reshapes how we live, work, love, and serve. If you have ever felt disconnected, isolated, frustrated with church, or unsure of where you belong, this sermon will encourage you to rediscover God's design for His people. Jesus is not building isolated individuals. He is building a united family that reflects His love to the world. Join us as we continue the Why Church series and discover the beauty, challenge, and hope of unity in the body of Christ.

FOLLOW: Walking the Narrow Way is a spiritual formation journey designed to move Liberty Church from believers to disciplesFrom spectators to participators, from saved to surrendered, from interested to invested. This series calls our church to return to the original invitation of Jesus: “Come, follow Me” (Matthew 4:19) Following Jesus is not a moment, it's a lifestyle. It's not casual, it's costly. It's not cultural…it's countercultural. Jesus described it as the narrow way, a path few choose but all are invited to walk.This series will challenge, stretch, and grow our church. It will confront casual Christianity, deepen spiritual hunger, and raise the standard of what it means to be a follower of Jesus in a culture of convenience.But more than challenge, it will inspire hope.Because the narrow way is not walked alone—it is walked with Jesus.And where He leads, He transforms.FOLLOW: Walking the Narrow Way is more than a sermon series.It's an invitation.It's a calling.It's a formation path.It's a turning point for Liberty Church.#discipleship #churchonline #follow #walkingthenarroway #sundaysermon Subscribe to receive our latest messages: • Latest Sermons To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.lccleveland.com/giveIf you've just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE:https://share.fluro.io/form/623355a72...Liberty Church is located in Cleveland, TX, and is led by Pastors Preston and Paige Bostwick.Stay ConnectedWebsite:https://www.lccleveland.com/Liberty Church Facebook: https:// / lcclevelandtx Liberty Church Instagram: https:// / libertychurchctx Click here for our latest sermons: / libertychurchcleveland CCLI License: 22259469Used with permission under CCLI License.
