Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 11:5-13 Jesus said to his disciples: "Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him,' and he says in reply from within, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been locked and my children and I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.' I tell you, if he does not get up to give him the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give him whatever he needs because of his persistence. "And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?” Reflection Jesus first makes his disciples aware that when we need something, really want something, persistence will often produce it. But what he's really wanting us to realize is that when we pray to God and ask him to give what we need, so that we can grow and become and change, we need to be persistent in seeking and knowing and learning what the answer is. Seek and you will find. Ask and you will receive. Knock and the door will be opened. That's a process one consistently goes through so that when we ask for something from God, we don't give up what is not there immediately, when the response isn't quick. It's not that we are testing his desire, but he's testing our work at finding and seeking and knowing the answer. Closing Prayer Father, bless us with an eagerness, a longing, a persistence of knowing your will for us. Knowing what answers you long to share with us when we don't know the answer. Bless us with perseverance. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 10:38-42 Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” Reflection Jesus in this story has two ways of understanding the way in which we spend time with God. One is doing everything we can to make ourselves, and our life, and what we do, and what we think we're to make it all what God wants, like setting the perfect dinner table and making the perfect food. And that is a way of honoring our guest. But what people really want, what God wants to teach Martha, is it's not about the setting. It's about the interchange that happens when people are together eating a meal, sharing their wisdom, sharing their struggles. It's about intimacy, and that's what God wants with us. He doesn't want us presenting something that we work on, so that it's as perfect as possible. No, he just wants us to be ourselves in his presence, to speak and to listen and to learn. Closing Prayer Father, everything you say to us through Jesus, through your holy Spirit, is always focused on the one thing, a closeness with you, a oneness with you, an ability to spend time listening to you, and not thinking so much or working so hard. Bless us with that kind of contemplative spirit. And we ask that in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Join us as Pastor Chad Benson wraps up our series "Bless this Mess" as he dives into Bless this Mess: Blessed are the Persecuted
Many times, we aren't confident in telling the story of how Jesus has changed our lives because we're either unprepared or our experience with Jesus is out-of-date. This week at Maplewood, we're wrapping up our series on learning how to Bless others by focusing on how to be prepared to share our story when others ask.
Un biologiste marin connu, Mauricio Hoyos, s'est fait blesser par un requin.A well-known marine biologist, Mauricio Hoyos, was injured by a shark.Ça s'est passé pendant une mission scientifique super importante près de l'Île Cocos, un spot incroyable pour la vie marine.It happened during a super important scientific mission near Cocos Island, an incredible spot for marine life.Alors, premièrement, les faits.So, firstly, the facts.Mauricio Hoyos c'est un biologiste mexicain de 48 ans.Mauricio Hoyos is a 48-year-old Mexican biologist.Il a été sérieusement touché samedi dernier.He was seriously injured last Saturday.En gros, il essayait de marquer un requin, un beau spécimen d'environ 4 mètres pour pouvoir le suivre.Basically, he was trying to tag a shark, a beautiful specimen about 4 meters long, so they could track it.Et là, au large de l'Île Cocos, le requin l'a mordu à la tête, visage et bras.And there, off the coast of Cocos Island, the shark bit him on the head, face, and arm.Heureusement, on a pu le stabiliser avant de l'envoyer à l'hôpital à San José.Fortunately, they were able to stabilize him before sending him to the hospital in San José.C'était pas juste un touriste qui plongeait, hein, Hoyos, il était là pour une expédition de la One Ocean Worldwide Coalition.He wasn't just a tourist diving, you know, Hoyos, he was there for an expedition with the One Ocean Worldwide Coalition.Son truc à lui, c'est vraiment la protection des requins.His thing is really the protection of sharks.Et les responsables insistent, ce genre d'accident en recherche, c'est vraiment exceptionnel.And officials insist, this kind of accident in research is truly exceptional.Et finalement, parlons du lieu et de la rareté.And finally, let's talk about the location and the rarity.L'Île Cocos, c'est un Parc National, un vrai paradis pour les requins.Cocos Island is a National Park, a real paradise for sharks.Une quinzaine d'espèces différentes.About fifteen different species.Plein de plongeurs y vont, mais malgré tous ces requins, les attaques c'est rarissime là-bas.Lots of divers go there, but despite all these sharks, attacks are extremely rare there.La dernière fois qu'il y a eu un mort, c'était en 2017.The last time there was a death was in 2017.Donc ce qui vient de se passer, c'est vraiment une exception.So what just happened is truly an exception.Ça nous rappelle juste que bosser au plus près des animaux sauvages, même quand on est un pro, bah ça comporte toujours des risques imprévisibles.It just reminds us that working closely with wild animals, even when you're a pro, well, it always involves unpredictable risks.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 60 Gary continues his response to Amir Tsarfati, who tried to take Kirk Cameron to task for comments he made about Israel. Gary shows how inconsistent, ahistorical, and unbiblical Tsarfati's view of Bible prophecy really is. It is nothing more than repackaged information from many other dispensational speculators over the last 50 years.
Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 10:13-16 Jesus said to them, "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. And as for you, Capernaum, 'Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld.' Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.” Reflection To watch Jesus perform miracles was thought, in most people's minds, as the major way in which Jesus changed people's lives and drew them into his teaching. But the fact is that many people witness these miracles and never, ever believed in Jesus because they didn't listen to his message. It wasn't the power he had to heal, it was his message that they had to embrace. And if one focused only on one, the other just seemed to melt away. Jesus even had a hard time going to certain places because they were there only for a miracle. And Jesus longed for his message to take root in our hearts. Closing Prayer Father, we humans have a problem with power. If you give us a great gift that everybody recognizes and we feel empowered by that, our ego just goes crazy. We end up getting caught up in something that's about our self-importance. Bless us with a consistent focus on your message. Yes, we have power to help and to heal people, but the real issue is whether we are understanding the role that you have created for us. Giving us the wisdom we have to reach whatever level you wish, and not to let our ego start running the show. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.

There's no teaching in the Christian life more unnatural to our human flesh than saying, “Bless those who persecute you” (Rom. 12:14), and do not repay “evil for evil . . . but overcome evil with good” (Rom. 12:17, 21). Yet this is the calling of a Christian. Thankfully, we’re not simply given a new set of rules, but a new nature—and out of that new nature comes a completely different way of living. So, when the world curses, you bless. When others succeed, you rejoice. When someone is crushed, you weep. When you're wronged, you turn and feed your enemy. This is the life of the person who has died and risen with Jesus Christ, who’s presented his body as “a living sacrifice” (Rom. 12:1).

Join us as Pastor Chad Benson continues in our series "Bless this Mess" as he dives into Bless this Mess: Blessed are the Peacemakers
When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He gave them a vision not just for God's kingdom “up there” but for transformation “down here.” Prayer is how we align with God's purposes in our neighborhoods and world. Paul reminds Timothy that we are to pray for all people—because God's desire is for all to be saved. We're called to pray with boldness and specificity—for our neighbors, workplaces, and cities. Matthew 6:5–13 (ESV)“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this:“Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name.Your kingdom come,your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread,and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.1 Timothy 2:1–4 (ESV)First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Rubrique:nouvelles Auteur: william-john-locke Lecture: Clémentine PacherieDurée: 32min Fichier: 15 Mo Résumé du livre audio: Blessé, un jeune homme perd temporairement la vue. Soigné, il s'éprend de la voix de celle qui lui rend visite et qu'il ne voit pas. A sa demande elle se décrit, mais sous un jour peu flatteur. Plus tard, ayant recouvré la vue, il rencontre une jeune femme qui a la même voix et se méprend, s'imaginant que c'est celle qu'il ne connaît que par la voix. Or ce n'est pas le cas. La confusion qui s'en suit dans son esprit le perturbe à jamais. Cet enregistrement est mis à disposition sous un contrat Creative Commons.
“Bless” is a word often used and rarely defined. Therefore, we want to try to study some of God's blessings in Genesis. At the beginning, God blesses creatures with the capacity to flourish— to be fruitful, to multiply, and to abound. Every time we see life spreading and thriving in creation, it's a sign of God's blessing at work. Humans were given an additional blessing: responsibility over the earth. God invited humanity to be partners in extending blessing everywhere. Sometimes humans get it wrong and the blessing is distorted. In this series, we'll explore Genesis through the lens of blessing—what it means for us, and how we are called to live as participants in God's blessing to the world. This week we talk about what we do when we have to wait for the blessing.Support the show

BLESS Series: Part 2 - B is for Begin with Prayer Do you ever wonder if your prayers actually make a difference? You might hope your neighbors find their way back to God, but Jesus invites us to start actively helping by getting on our knees. This week let's hear about the amazing (and slightly terrifying!) hairbrush story and unpack how Jesus Himself consistently prioritized prayer, even when choosing the team that would change the world. (Hint: the choices weren't obvious!) The big idea is simple: In order to BLESS our neighbor, Jesus invites us to begin with prayer. Don't just sit on the sidelines hoping. It's time to move from "hoping" to "helping"! Challenge:This week, use your BLESS Card to write down the people God is calling you to pray for. It all starts with a simple conversation with Him. #BLESSYourNeighbor #BeginWithPrayer #PrayerLife #MissionDriven#ChurchOnline #LoveGodLoveOthersNoLimits Worship Notes on YouVersion Connect with Us: New here?

What's the purpose of business? God designed business to be a blessing to your community. What does that look like? It means that the service you provide is always done with excellence. It means your product is safe and does exactly what you say it will do. Your community is everybody you serve. But the community also means the area around where your business resides. Being a blessing to your community can look like investing in your city's infrastructure and in ministries that touch the lives of people there. Being a blessing to your community means much more than just writing a check. It means unleashing your employees in the community as volunteers on a regular basis. If you asked the local civic officials if your business was a blessing to the community, what would they say?

What's the purpose of business? God designed business to be a blessing to the employees of the business. What's that look like? It means paying your people well, treating your people nicely, providing a safe work environment, and listening to them. There are so many things you can do to be a blessing to your employees, but number one is they need to be loved… Have you ever asked your employees how you're doing? Have you ever asked them if they feel blessed to work for you as a business owner? If you haven't, maybe today is the day you start asking those tough questions. If your business isn't being a blessing to your employees, then they're likely not being a blessing to your customers, and eventually, your business will run out of steam and close its doors. Jesus said love your neighbor. Start doing that with your employees today.

What's the purpose of business? God designed business to be a blessing to the vendors that supply your business. What does that look like? It means ordering your supplies well in advance. It means being respectful on the phone when you're making your orders. It means paying your bills on time. It means telling others about the quality of service you receive from the vendors. If your business is blessing your vendors, then they will be a blessing to your business, because you're one of their customers. If your vendors aren't happy with how you treat them, then there's something wrong with your business. As Jesus followers, how we treat others really matters. It's one of the two things Jesus said was more important than anything else. Love God and love people. How are you treating your vendors today?
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Pete Lang from Upland, CA. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 5:9–12. “My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the LORD. Tell of it, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way. To the sound of musicians at the watering places, there they repeat the righteous triumphs of the LORD, the righteous triumphs of his villagers in Israel. Then down to the gates marched the people of the LORD. ‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, break out in a song! Arise, Barak, lead away your captives, O son of Abinoam.'” — Judges 5:9-12 The song of Deborah shifts here from memory to momentum. She looks across Israel and sees leaders who stepped forward and people who volunteered without hesitation. And she blesses the Lord for it. But she doesn't stop there. She calls everyone — the wealthy (“you who ride on white donkeys”), the influential (“you who sit on rich carpets”), and the everyday traveler — to tell the story of God's triumph. Then her voice sharpens. Twice she says, “Awake, awake!” And then, “Arise!” It's the language of urgency. The sound of a spiritual trumpet blast. “Awake” means shake off the slumber, remember who you are, and recall why you're here. “Arise” means stand up, step forward, and move in the direction of God's call. Every believer faces two temptations after God moves powerfully — to relax into comfort or to retreat into passivity. But God's victories aren't the end of the mission. They're the launching pad for the next one. “Awake” is the inner shift — the moment your heart snaps out of distraction and into readiness. “Arise” is the outer step — the choice to act on what God has stirred in you. If you're sleeping through your calling, you're missing the reason you were rescued. Deborah didn't tell Barak to enjoy the win. She told him to get moving. God's Kingdom advances when His people stay awake and keep rising. Maybe your battle is spiritual laziness. Maybe it's fear. Maybe it's comfort. Whatever it is, you can't follow Jesus while hitting the snooze button on His call. ASK THIS: Where in your life is God calling you to “awake” from spiritual complacency? What's one concrete step you can take today to “arise” into obedience? Who around you needs the courage that will come from your obedience? How can you avoid the trap of settling into comfort after a spiritual victory? DO THIS: Say the words “Awake and arise” out loud this morning — then take one action that matches them before the day ends. PRAY THIS: Lord, don't let me drift into spiritual sleep. Wake me up to Your call, and give me the courage to rise and follow You into whatever comes next. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Awake My Soul."

What's the purpose of business? God designed business to be a blessing to the customers of the business. That may sound oversimplified, but if your customers aren't feeling blessed by your product or service, then you won't have a business for very long. What does it look like to be a blessing to your customers? It means that the product that you provide is well-built, long-lasting, and meets the needs of the customer. It means that the service you provide is done with excellence, on time, and exactly what you told the customer you would do. Do you ever survey your customers to see if they're satisfied? To see if you're a blessing to them? There really is no point in being in business if your business isn't a blessing to your customers. Ask them today how you're doing.
Check out the Fits Everybody Collection at https://www.skims.com/notforeveryone #skimspartner__Welcome to the N4E megachurch, kooks! Today, Jess and Caroline navigate the multiverse, exploring how reading and horror movies make them think of different versions of themselves on some parallel timeline, and how gamifying everything leads to some odd religious connections. It truly is a multiverse of topics in this episode, as they get into sexual harassment at work, dealing with doubt about your gut feelings, young people with too much power, and how putting people on a pedestal is a dangerous game. Plus, they celebrate a huge milestone! If you were wondering, J and C will always hold you in the palm of their hands.
