Send us a textJoy in the Trial — James 1:2-4 | Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional PodcastScripture Reference: James 1:2–4 (NIV) — “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”Welcome to Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast — your daily 15-minute source of biblical strength and spiritual clarity. In today's powerful episode, Reverend Ben Cooper brings encouragement and perspective for those walking through life's toughest seasons.What do you do when you're hit from every side — financially, emotionally, relationally, or spiritually? James 1:2–4 offers a radical viewpoint: consider it pure joy. Not because suffering is pleasant, but because God uses every difficulty as a tool for our spiritual maturity.Reverend Ben takes us beyond surface-level positivity into the deeper truth of how trials shape us into who God is calling us to be. Drawing parallels to Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, he reminds us that even Christ wrestled under the weight of suffering — sweating blood and asking for the cup to pass. Yet through His surrender came the greatest victory.In this devotional, you'll be guided through:Why trials are not punishments, but platforms for growthHow spiritual maturity is forged in discomfortThe role of perseverance in your Christian journeyReal hope when you're at the end of yourselfBen also leads listeners in a heartfelt moment of prayer, lifting those burdened by health struggles, financial instability, emotional trauma, and relationship breakdowns. Through Scripture and intercession, this episode becomes more than a message — it's a moment of breakthrough.This message is for the weary heart, the questioning soul, and the one who's about to give up. Don't miss this reminder: you are being refined, not ruined. God's plan through your pain is to make you complete, not lacking anything.

Today's Promise: Romans 15:13 This promise is a prayer for me and you. Hope begins with God and only comes from God. Before you came to Christ, you had no hope. When you came to Christ, Jesus filled you with hope. Now you have hope for the future, hope for eternity, and hope in God's help for day-to-day living. Biblical Hope is not just emotional well-wishing. Biblical hope is the confidence that God will fulfill what He has promised. Joy and peace come from the hope you have in Christ.

In this inspiring message, guest speaker Michael Rondon takes a break from the regular series to dive into Matthew 5 and the Sermon on the Mount. Michael explores the Beatitudes, unpacking the eight blessings that Jesus presents as a roadmap to a fulfilled life, emphasizing a desperate dependence on Christ and a heart for Scripture. He challenges the congregation to live as "salt" and "light" in the world—called to be rare, precious, and impactful in Jesus' name, influencing their communities without being diluted by cultural values. Michael encourages believers to embrace kingdom values over worldly virtues, pursue intimacy with God, and return to Matthew 5-7 annually for spiritual renewal.

In this compelling episode, Pastor Karl dives into Romans 14, exploring what he calls "Applied Christianity." This chapter challenges both seasoned and new believers to navigate the balance between personal freedom in Christ and public restraint for the sake of others. Pastor Karl unpacks the concept of spiritual maturity, emphasizing private liberty and public restriction as biblical principles rooted in love. He addresses the tension between those strong in faith, who live in the freedom of grace, and those weak in faith, who adhere to stricter rules, using the historical context of meat sacrificed to idols to illustrate disputable matters. Through practical examples like alcohol, Halloween, and homeschooling, Pastor Karl highlights how non-essential issues should not divide the church. He introduces the "law of love," urging listeners to prioritize others' faith over personal freedoms, and explains the Bema Seat judgment, where Christians are rewarded for their sacrifices, not judged for salvation. Join Pastor Karl for a thought-provoking discussion on living out faith with grace, love, and unity.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

In this Episode i will be just updating you guys on my life and the podcast then i get into talking about what biblical Hope look like. I having did a podcast in almost 2 years but i just glad to be back doing Podcasting

I invite you to continues our exploration of the French words for hope, "espoir" and "esperance," and to dive deeper into their biblical and cultural significance. Scripture draws parallels between the biblical story of Babel in Genesis 11 and the unifying power of hope in Christ. God orchestrated Scripture to be translatable in all languages, which reverses the curse of Babel and offers the potential in Christ to unite us under the banner of hope. As I was researching the connections between "espoir" and "esperance," I was blown away to discover two verses in Scripture that hold both verses together. They have much to tell us, as we too hold both "espoir" and "esperance" in our own hearts. The first, in the Old Testament, unveils the significance of Job's despair and his quest for true hope; the second, in the New Testament, highlights Paul's profound insights into the essence of hope. These complementary perspectives on hope, stemming from Job, the oldest book in the Bible, and 1st Timothy, one of Paul's last letters, ground us deeply in our King and Savior, Jesus Christ. But Esperance is fading from the French landscape. So, I asked both Christian and non-Christian French friends and family members about the influence of Esperance in their lives today. The answers are striking, and I want to invite you to discover them with me – so that you too can form your own informed experience of Esperance in Christ. It has much to do with a deeply felt experience of despair apart from Esperance. Next, I invite you to (re)discover a famous French thinker and author, Blaise Pascal, to embrace the delicate interplay between reason, faith, and mystery. Through Pascal's eloquent words and profound insights, let's see what we can learn about the transformative potential of faith and reason working in harmony. The emphasis on humility, the coexistence of science and faith, and the acknowledgement of the limitations of human understanding in the life and work of Blaise Pascal inspire contemplation and introspection, encouraging us to explore the depths of our beliefs with open hearts and minds.

  Today's Promise: Romans 15:13 This promise is a prayer for me and you. Hope begins with God and only comes from God. Before you came to Christ, you had no hope. When you came to Christ, Jesus filled you with hope. Now you have hope for the future, hope for eternity, and hope in God's help for day-to-day living. Biblical Hope is not just emotional well-wishing. Biblical hope is the confidence that God will fulfill what He has promised. Joy and peace come from the hope you have in Christ.

Pastor Dale Benson Romans 5:1-5   We throw the word “hope” around a lot. Most often in scripture we find hope accompanied by other virtues or circumstances that shape it or give definition to it.   * “Where then is my hope – who can see any hope for me?” – Job * “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord.  Plans to prosper and not to harm you.  Plans for a future and a hope.” – The Prophet Jeremiah Very often, hope gets overshadowed by the other virtues it gets grouped with. Take for example, Paul's letter to the church at Corinth: * “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love.” – The Apostle Paul Hope is rarely revealed in isolation. Often, hope brings along companions like faith, love, joy, patience, long suffering. For the Christian, hope should be compared more too a huge, solid, safe rock, rather than a vapor.   Biblical Hope vs Western Hope (The Rock/Anchor vs Vapor) * In Greek Mythology: * Pandora brings with her a jar containing "burdensome toil and sickness that brings death to men,” diseases, and "a myriad other pain.”  * Prometheus had – fearing further reprisals – warned his brother Epimetheus not to accept any gifts from Zeus. But Epimetheus did not listen; he accepted Pandora, who promptly scattered the contents of her jar. As a result, Hesiod tells us, “The earth and sea are full of evils.” One item, however, did not escape the jar: hope. * Only hope was left within her unbreakable house, she remained under the lip of the jar, and did not fly away. Before [she could], Pandora replaced the lid of the jar. This was the will of aegis-bearing Zeus the Cloud gatherer. * We are not told why hope remained in the jar.  Was one of the other demons or spirits to be released on humanity? Was hope different than the others? Elipis does not maintain a very important role in Greek mythology and some even hold a negative view of her as Elpis is often simply translated “anticipation.” * We must remember, however that the Hebrew people from whom the Jews were descendants, did not view hope from the same perspective. * The Hebrew word Tikvah has the meaning of something strong and sure. Like we read earlier in Jeremiah: I know the plans I have for you. . . Not for evil, but for a future and a hope!   Romans 5:1-5 (NLT) Hope that is seen is not hope. . . What Paul is basically saying here is you don't have to hope for something when it is already in your hand.   Colossians 1:25-29 (NLT)   Hope lights the path to the manger that reminds us of God's faithfulness in the past.  Hope lights the path toward the return of Christ and our faithfulness in the future.   “Christ in you” assures the reflection of that same hope through you to others in the present!

Biblical Hope finds rest in God's promises. Therefore, we must know the promises of God found richly in His Word. We also can look to certain Biblical figures, such as the Virgin Mary, as models who cultivated Hope in habit and in prayer, doing so in ways that caught God's attention and earned His treasured descriptor of “highly favored”.

Biblical hope is trusting in Gods promises to be filled in surprising and creative ways.  God breaks into the darkness with his light as he seeks to redeem and restore. If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

As we enter the Advent season, we embark on a journey of reflection centered around hope. Hope can be viewed at from all different perspectives. However, the way we choose to envision hope could prove to be the defining factor that sets our path either towards despair or towards a fuller, more abundant hope.

When the world looks hopeless we need to remember where our  hope comes from.  The enemy promises darkness, death and hopelessness while Jesus promises light, life and True  Hope!  The world will get our hopes up by promising things that don't last, Jesus gives us a hope that is firm and secure, an anchor for the soul.  Join me to take a journey through what biblical hope looks like and gain practical insights on how to live with radiant hope.Learn through this Podcast:Worldly vs. Biblical HopeWhy we need HopeWho gives true HopeGod's hope for your lifeResourcesRevelations Podcast:WebsiteInstagramApple PodcastThis Episode is brought to you by Advanced Medicine AlternativesGet back to the active life you love through natural & regenerative musculoskeletal healing: https://www.georgekramermd.com/ 

Hope, God, Bible, Parkwood, Barefield 

What is biblical hope and where does it come from? In what truth is our hope placed in and who does it come from? Often, we place our hope in the temporary. We strive after things which we think will give us confidence. We forget the Creator of the Universe has called us to hope in something different... something more... Himself. Today, Pastor John Flint, who will be launching Summit Ridge Henderson gave his inaugural sermon at Summit Ridge. Listen as he reminds us of the foundations of Biblical hope and the Person and Work in which we put our hope in.

The identity Christ gives to us guards us from devastation when painful breakups happen. We are secure in Jesus no matter what.

Today's Promise: Romans 15:13 This promise is a prayer for me, and you. Hope begins with God and only comes from God. Before you came to Christ, you had no hope. When you came to Christ, Jesus filled you with hope. Now you have hope for the future, hope for eternity, and hope in God's help for day-to-day living. Biblical Hope is not just emotional well-wishing. Biblical hope is the confidence that God will fulfill what He has promised. Joy and peace come from the hope you have in Christ.

True, Biblical hope has very little in common with what most people call hope. True, Biblical hope is a vital component in the life of faith.To watch the video of this message, you can watch us on Victory Channel (Dish 265 or DirecTV 366 or Spectrum cable) and you can always watch our broadcasts on demand on our website or our  YouTube Channel!For more information regarding David Weeter Ministries, to send prayer requests, praise reports or to become a Covenant Partner with us to get this uncompromised Word of the Living God out to the world, please visit our website: DavidWeeter.orgSupport the show

We continue in the second half of the first chapter in the book of Ephesians for our sermon series called Together in Him and for Him. Today we ask God to open our eyes to the hope that he has called us to, the riches of his glorious inheritance, and the incomparably great power that is available to us as Christians. As followers of Christ, our main purpose is to know and pursue God more and in this we need to realize that we are God's greatest treasure now and forever more. Because we have biblical hope, we can trust with certainty that God treasures us, and we are not left abandoned. We learn from scripture that our faith in God and our love for others is a constant and continual litmus test of the condition of our souls. Do you have hope for eternity? Are there questions gnawing at your faith? Know that that's perfectly normal, and we'd love to answer any questions you have and take time to pray with you.

We will all experience pain at some point in our lives. When pain does come, what do we do with it? There are helpful and unhelpful ways to deal with it. The Bible gives us plenty of direction in what we should do with our pain. When we lament Biblically we open ourselves up to God's healing mercy. Bible Text: Psalm 77 | Preacher: Jeremy Hager

As we close our shared season of Advent, we look at Hope through both a social and theological lens. Biblical Hope, we learn, focuses far more on waiting well than on the potential satisfaction of desire. As people of the Word, we need a personal Liturgy that helps us “eat the scroll” of God's scripture, which uniquely refreshes us in seasons of Hopeful waiting.
