In Galatians 6, Pastor Rob reminds us that we weren't meant to carry life's burdens alone. When someone falls, fails or faces a crushing weight, we're called to come close and help carry it. What we sow matters, because every seed leads to a harvest. As we choose to sow into the Spirit, we can trust that what we plant today will be worth it in the end.
Paul reminds us that those who have been justified by faith have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Far from boasting in ourselves, we are called to rejoice in the hope of God's glory, to persevere through suffering, and to glory in the God who has demonstrated His love for us through the death and resurrection of His Son.Time:EveningMinister:Mr. Brendan StamperTexts:Romans 5:1–11
Love Does Not Envy, it Does Not Boast, it is Not Proud | 1 Cor 13:4-7 Rev Tyler Smith
The world says to hide your weakness and boast about your strengths. But Paul said he would boast in weakness so Christ's power could rest on him. I need that reminder, because God can do things through my weakness that my strength never could.
I will boast 7-26-26 by New Beginnings Church
In a world that constantly encourages us to boast in ourselves—our accomplishments, our morality, our reputation, or our success—Paul says there is only one thing worth boasting in: "But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ..." (Galatians 6:14). Why would anyone boast in a degrading and humiliating instrument of execution? Because the gospel of free justification through faith alone produces something the world cannot explain: a radical, self-denying life that finds its confidence, identity, and hope in Christ alone. If you've ever wondered what the cross has to do with your everyday life, or why the gospel is far more than simply the way we begin the Christian life, take a few moments to listen.
As we continue in our study of the book of James, Pastor Dalton walks us through why we aren't the main character in our life. When we claim Jesus as Lord and Savior, there are some things that aren't up for debate- we have a responsibility to act. But what does that look like exactly. Join for this and more!**********
This sermon examines James 4:13-17 to contrast arrogant self-reliance with humble submission to God's sovereignty over the future. The preacher illustrates the brevity of life and the uncertainty of tomorrow through biblical analogies such as the Tower of Babel and the parable of the rich fool, emphasizing that human plans are subject to divine will. By citing examples like Nebuchadnezzar and Jesus in Gethsemane, the message urges believers to replace boastful declarations with the phrase "if the Lord wills." The teaching concludes by defining the sin of omission, challenging listeners to identify and obey the right actions they currently neglect in the present moment.

The latest tranche of documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case includes emails and correspondence suggesting that former Prince Andrew may have shared sensitive UK government information with Epstein while serving as Britain's trade envoy. According to claims circulating online, some correspondence implied that Andrew leaked confidential details from official trade missions and was involved in social engagements arranged by Epstein, including a secret dinner with a Chinese model—events framed by an Epstein boast about having “the UK sewn up.” These revelations have intensified criticism and calls for a formal probe into whether Andrew's actions constituted misconduct, misuse of position, or even breaches of the Official Secrets Act.The latest tranche of documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case includes emails and correspondence suggesting that former Prince Andrew may have shared sensitive UK government information with Epstein while serving as Britain's trade envoy.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Ariela Karmel joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. An overnight Knesset session ended early Tuesday with first readings of a bill that calls for dissolution of the Knesset, as well as of two controversial pieces of legislation that would split and weaken the role of the attorney general, reports Karmel. She puts the latter bills in context of the broader war the government has long waged against the judiciary. A meeting on aid for the Hezbollah-battered north of Israel was tied to a bill by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich that would increase tax benefits for West Bank settlements, and Karmel notes that the discussion ended once again without the much-needed financial aid for the north being approved. The aid was finally okayed on Tuesday. Karmel also reviews the harrowing images of far-right lawmakers disrupting a Knesset event on settler violence against Palestinians, with the MKs posting videos of their antics on social media to boost their image with voters. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Ps34:2; 1Co1:18-31 Yeshua the Boast of My Soul
What does it mean to be called by God? Many Christians assume that God's calling is limited to pastors, missionaries, or those in formal ministry. But Scripture shows that every believer has been called by God for His purpose. Paul explains that God does not call people because they are wise, powerful, noble, or impressive by worldly standards. Instead, God chooses ordinary people so that His power is displayed, and no one can boast. The gospel may seem foolish to the world, but to those who are called, it is the power of God and the wisdom of God. Our responsibility is not to rely on clever speech, personal ability, or persuasive arguments, but to faithfully proclaim Christ and trust the Holy Spirit to do the work only God can do. This sermon also explores the nature of God's calling: We are called to share the Word of God We are called to sanctification and holiness We are called according to God's purpose, not our own God's calling is irrevocable God knows who we are, including our weaknesses, failures, and limitations, yet He still calls us. The call is not about our greatness, but about His power, His grace, and His purpose. There is no greater calling than being used by God to point others to Christ. Sermon Notes 1 Corinthians 1:18 – 25 Coming to know God is not through wisdom, but preaching the word 1 Corinthians 1:26 – 29 Consider your calling. We aren't special, but God chose to share the word, but it is all God's doing. There is no boasting 1 Corinthians 1:30 Boast in the Lord 1 Corinthians 2:1 - 5 Paul acknowledges it was not his skill, but the power of God 1 Thessalonians 4:7 God's calling is for sanctification 2 Timothy 1:8 & 9 We have a holy calling according to His purpose Romans 11:29 His calling is irrevocable
James series message 10Text: James 3:1-12James continues his treatment of practical issues - the tongue is certainly high on the list! Taming the tongue is a mark of Christian maturity. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The goal is to move from our words being a mixed bag, to consistently blessing the Lord and building others up with the words we speak.

In 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, Paul gives thanks for a church marked not by size or influence, but by God's work within them. He celebrates their growing faith, increasing love, and steadfast endurance in persecution, reminding them of their identity in Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
***Apologies for the audio issues***Let's dive into the evolution of cinematic surveillance by comparing Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece The Conversation (1974) with the high-stakes thriller Relay (2024). We look at how the analog paranoia of Harry Caul's world finds its modern echo in today's digital era of middlemen and encrypted secrets. We talk about whether the classic "lonely professional" trope holds up when updated for a world where everyone is always connected yet perpetually watched.

I've been focusing on the death, burial, and resurrection of our Savior. Can I ask you: Of what or who do you boast? Or in our vernacular, what do you brag about? Paul said to the Galatians: May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world (Galatians 6:14). Can you imagine what this sounded like to Jewish people of his day? Boasting in the cross? That was unthinkable—and yet it is because of the cross that Jesus was able to purchase our salvation. I have led many tours to Israel, and each time I go to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus spent those agonizing hours before he was arrested, I am reminded it's not a fairy tale. It's not just a story that has been passed down through the ages. No, the cross of Jesus Christ was real. He suffered a shameful death for me—and for you—so God could forgive our sins. Because of him, we can have the righteousness of Jesus Christ credited to us, qualifying us to spend eternity with God. There's something about sitting in that garden, still filled with olive trees, and knowing we are on sacred ground, walking and meditating there where Jesus agonized until his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. Where he prayed “Not my will but thine be done,” as he faced the reality of being separated from his Father and bearing in his own body the sins of the world. Each time I come away from that Garden more humbled and more aware of just what it meant for Jesus to give himself as a ransom for many—for me—and to be willing to die on a cross. As you and I celebrate the resurrection of our Lord this Sunday, let us glory in the cross, because without it, we have no hope. Boast about the cross and what Jesus has done for you. Tell everybody you can and why this celebration is so vital and precious to you. And we will celebrate with great joy the fact that the grave could not hold Jesus; death had no victory over him. He arose from the grave. What kind of god dies? Only the true God, the only God, who died so we could live. Let it sink into your mind and heart as you stand in awe that Jesus died for you. Don't ever take this story, this truth, for granted. Understanding the enormity of his death on a cross is sobering and amazing, and his resurrection is reason for great joy.

What happens when your confidence is in the wrong place? In this message from our Invitation to Joy series through the book of Philippians, we explore Philippians 3:1–3 and the danger of misplaced spiritual confidence. The Apostle Paul warns the early church—and us—that trusting in religious performance instead of Christ always steals our joy. When we add anything to Jesus for our standing before God, we subtract from the freedom and joy He offers. Paul reveals that true belonging to God isn't marked by external rituals but by heart transformation through the Holy Spirit. This sermon unpacks what it means to "boast in Christ" practically by centering our days around Jesus through morning prayer, Scripture, and the ancient practice of the Prayer of Examen. Whether you're navigating a hard season or simply feeling the pressure to perform, this message is a reminder that confidence in the flesh creates pressure, but confidence in Christ creates joy.0:00 Misplaced confidence2:35 Philippians 3:1–33:53 Repetition is protection5:19 Circumcision and the covenant6:37 Jesus plus nothing equals everything7:35 Religion trusts in performance8:49 God cares about the heart, not the outside11:04 The flesh vs. the Spirit12:32 True worship is empowered by the Holy Spirit13:39 Heart circumcision15:27 The simplest prayer17:18 The Spirit transforms, the flesh performs18:40 What it means to boast in Christ20:05 Center your day around Jesus22:34 A simple daily rhythm: prayer, Scripture, journal23:38 The Prayer of Examen25:26 Rejoicing in the Lord through hard seasons27:29 Confidence in Christ produces unshakable joy28:19 Closing prayerSupport the showMade a decision to follow Jesus?

Romans 11:18-22 — Now that Christ has come, what is the relationship between Jews and Gentiles? This is the question Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones seeks to answer in this sermon on Romans 11:18–22 titled “None Should Boast.” Christ Jesus has come and instituted the new covenant – the fulfilment of all of God's Old Testament covenants. In the new covenant, there is no longer a distinction between Jew and Gentile, for all are made one by believing in Christ and in His death, burial, and resurrection. Paul makes it clear that the Jews have not been rejected in total, but only those Jews who do not believe in Jesus Christ. Dr. Lloyd-Jones points out that it is a mistake to think that the Gentiles are part of the new covenant because of anything they have done. Paul goes on to make it perfectly clear that salvation is always by grace and grace alone. Nothing either Jews or Gentiles can do can ever make them part of the people of God. It is by the grace of God given in His Son Jesus Christ that anyone can know God and love Him. Gentiles have no ground for boasting because it is all the grace of God and not human works or merit.
