In this message from Psalm 146, Pastor Jim explores the justice of God and why His people are called to reflect it in the world. Unlike earthly leaders whose plans eventually perish, God reigns forever, remains faithful, and actively cares for the oppressed, the hungry, the imprisoned, the blind, the fatherless, the widow, and the stranger. Jesus reveals this justice fully by drawing near to the vulnerable, welcoming outsiders, and enduring injustice Himself to bring forgiveness and freedom. Because God has rescued and raised us up, we are called to praise Him, do justice, love mercy, and join His work of bringing healing and wholeness to others.
Jeremiah 29:1-23// Nathan MillerWe often hear Jeremiah 29:11 quoted on graduation cards, but what does it mean when it is spoken to people living as captives in a foreign land? In this study of Jeremiah 29:1-23, we look at the letter Jeremiah sent to the exiles in Babylon. Instead of telling them they would escape quickly, God told them to plant gardens, build houses, and pray for the peace of the city they were trapped in. This sermon explores what it looks like to trust God when life does not look the way you planned, how to find him when you search with all your heart, and why his promises are reliable even in the middle of difficult seasons.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49636417 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.07.19

Send us Fan MailNEW EPISODE: This is where our conversation takes an even deeper turn.Caleb shares the story of his personal confrontation with Christian nationalism—how an invitation to participate with Turning Point USA forced him to take a much closer look at the movement and the version of Christianity it was promoting. That investigation eventually led him to write his remarkable book, Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor.We also explore the rich biblical imagery behind the title. In Scripture, Leviathan represents the mysterious forces of chaos that only God can ultimately tame. Caleb uses that ancient symbol as a powerful metaphor for Christian nationalism itself—a force fueled by fear, political idolatry, and cultural anxiety over demographic change, political marginalization, and the perceived loss of traditional values.But this isn't simply a critique. It's an invitation to faithful engagement. Caleb challenges us to respond not with condemnation but with empathy, courageous conversations, genuine listening, and radical hospitality.For anyone struggling to relate to friends or family who have been drawn into the MAGA movement or Christian nationalism, Caleb offers thoughtful, practical wisdom that I believe you'll find both hopeful and deeply challenging.

The sermon delivers a powerful, biblically grounded call to protect the vulnerable, centering on Jesus' solemn warning against causing little ones to stumble and the moral imperative to defend the innocent. It confronts the systemic failure to protect children from grooming, trafficking, and abuse in the UK, highlighting how political correctness and institutional neglect have enabled evil, echoing biblical warnings against perverting justice and calling evil good. Drawing from Scripture, it emphasizes that God's heart is for the fatherless and oppressed, and that parents, churches, and leaders bear responsibility to uphold righteousness, speak truth, and pursue justice with courage and compassion. The message calls believers to prayer, vigilance, and active resistance against darkness through spiritual warfare, while anchoring hope in Christ's redemptive mission and the promise of a future where God will wipe away every tear. Ultimately, it affirms that protecting the vulnerable is not optional but essential to the Christian identity, rooted in divine justice and love.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we discuss the political attacks surrounding Thomas Massie, growing concerns over foreign lobbying influence in American politics, and why millions of Americans feel their government no longer represents them.We also discuss the continued secrecy surrounding the Epstein case and why the American people are demanding full transparency, the complete unredacted Epstein files, and lawful accountability for every individual involved regardless of status or political connections.As corruption, manipulation, and moral decay continue spreading through powerful institutions, Americans must hold tightly to their God-given Constitutional rights, speak truth boldly, and refuse to surrender their freedoms out of fear.Truth matters. Justice matters. And no one should be above the law.--https://www.bible.com/
Listen to this week's sermon, Parables In Practice preached by Rev. Benjamin Kandt from Luke 16:14-15, 19-31.
Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible mothers out there. Today's episode is a deeper conversation about the urgent need for stronger, more biblical men and women in our culture, people willing to stand for truth, protect the vulnerable, and refuse to stay silent in the face of evil.We discuss the ongoing outrage surrounding the Epstein files, the lack of accountability for powerful people, and the broader cultural failure to protect victims from wicked and predatory individuals. But this conversation goes beyond headlines. It's about morality, courage, justice, faith, and what happens when societies stop valuing strong families, strong character, and biblical principles.This episode is ultimately about hope too, because evil does not win forever. Real justice matters, truth matters, and good people still have a responsibility to speak up.
Judges 16:23-31 // Gabe CoyleIn this sermon, we look at the final moments of Samson's life within the temple of Dagon. We discuss the irony of the Philistines celebrating a victory they credited to a false god, while the true source of Samson's power prepared for one final display of justice. We analyze the layout of the temple, the significance of the two central pillars, and Samson's prayer for strength. Through this study, we see how God can use even a flawed and fallen leader to bring about his will, showing that his power is made perfect in weakness and that he remains faithful to his word even when his servants have stumbled.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49594463 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new26.04.19
Send us Fan MailIn Episode 8 of Echoes of Eden, Tim and Steve explore one of the most misunderstood stories in Genesis: Cain and Abel.Was this story really about two offerings—or something much deeper?This episode uncovers the destructive power of envy, the danger of unchecked sin, and the profound question at the center of the text:“Am I my brother's keeper?”Through the lens of Genesis 4, we discover how this ancient story still speaks directly into modern life, relationships, justice, and the call to love our neighbor. In this episode: Why Cain and Abel is not mainly about offerings The difference between sins and the deeper power of sin How envy, bitterness, and resentment distort the human heart What “sin is crouching at the door” really means Why reconciliation matters to God The connection between loving God and loving your neighbor How this story challenges injustice, division, and indifference today This is a powerful conversation about repentance, restoration, and becoming people who reflect the way of Christ.

True discipleship shapes not just what we believe but how we live - especially how we treat the "least, last, and lost." In this class, we will look at the heart of God and His priorities to care for the overlooked & underserved throughout the Old Testament, the life of Christ, and in the early Church. The challenge is for every follower of Jesus and every church to have a Mission Action Plan (MAP) to make disciples who are forgiven, healed, and whole amongst "the least of these."

In this conversation, Caleb is joined by Joshua Greever (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) associate dean of seminary programs and associate professor of New Testament at Bethlehem College and Seminary to discuss the concept of biblical justice as outlined in his edited volume, Let Justice Flow Like Water. The discussion explores the definition of justice from a biblical perspective, the role of God's holiness, the storyline of Scripture, and the implications for the church and individual Christians. Greever emphasizes the importance of understanding justice in light of the gospel and how Jesus fulfills the hope for justice. The conversation also addresses the expectations of justice in a fallen world and the church's mission in embodying justice.Resources:Let Justice Flow Like Water: Toward a Theology of Biblical Justice by edited by Joshua Greever When you use the code JUSTICE40 on Lifeway.com, you can get 40% off this title."

What does it mean to take Jesus seriously when he announces good news to the poor, freedom for the captive, and release from debt? In this episode of Shifting Culture, I'm joined by theologian and practitioner Kelley Nikondeha to talk about her new book Jubilee Economics and the disruptive, concrete vision of Jubilee found in Scripture. We explore why Jubilee was never just a spiritual metaphor but a real economic practice involving debt forgiveness, land, labor, and community restoration. Kelley shares stories from her work in Burundi—where economic collapse forced hard, human decisions about care, reentry, and neighbor-love—and helps us reframe Jesus's sermon in Luke 4 as dangerous, embodied good news. This conversation asks what Jubilee might look like today, and what it might cost us to love our neighbors well in a debt-saturated world.Kelley Nikondeha is a liberation theologian, community development practitioner, and author of First Advent in Palestine and Defiant.
