Acts 2:42-47; 4:32-5:11 & Matthew 6 If I were a rich man... All the things I could do if I had a little money... If I had a million dollars... This life, that's all that everybody care about man, money... I've got everything that money can't buy... Money. We need it. Think about it. Sing about it. Spend it. Give it. Share it. Waste it. Despise it. Love it. Use it. And sometimes, it uses us. The Bible, and Jesus in particular, talks a lot about money. God knows money and the things we treasure have an important place in being human, being a disciple, and being the body of Christ together for the sake of the world. Phil Wagler Interim Pastor
During our All In Service on Sunday 27th July, Ben Hodgson shares about the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12). In Romans 12:4-5, we learn that we are one body (unison) made up of many different parts (unique). We all belong to each other (unity) and we all have a special function (useful). This is how God has design us to be fruitful together!

Colossians 4:7-187 Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. 8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, 9 and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. 14 Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. 16 And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”

This problem can't stop me—because I'm working with the two most powerful forces that exist in the spirit realm: faith and grace. Grace says “Paid for.” Faith says “Mine.” In this powerful message, I teach you how to walk in the revelation that your miracle is already done. Many of you have been trying to receive by faith alone, but left grace out—and that's why things haven't fully manifested. When you understand that faith knows and grace already finished it, you stop striving and start walking in divine manifestation.This isn't religion—it's resurrection. The resurrection of grace in the Body of Christ. I declare: your failure days are over. Your miracle is already set. Your destiny is already done. It's time to stop looking back and run forward with everything God has already paid for. The Spirit of Grace is with you, upon you, and for you. Now it's time to live it out.June 29, 2025 | SUNDAY AMSunday Morning LiveLeroy Thompson TV FULL VIDEO LINK - Grace Resurrection Cometh to the Body of Christhttps://leroythompson.tv/programs/sun062925CONNECT NOW - BECOME A PARTNER https://www.eiwm.org/partnership | or TEXT "Connect" to 225-230-2234 To GIVE/SOW click the link below! https://www.eiwm.org/give | or TEXT "Sow" to 225-230-2234TESTIMONY?Email your testimonies to victory@eiwm.orgMORE LINKShttps://linktr.ee/drleroysr#grace #faith

One of our most urgent human questions is, "What is God like?" Our answer to that question has a monumental impact on our state of mind and how we conduct our lives. This Sunday, as we continue our inductive study of the New Testament book of Colossians, we'll explore a passage that paints one of the Bible's most vivid and insightful pictures of God. Join us Sunday to deepen your understanding of God and life and who we are meant to be.
The true Christian church is not defined by a building, denomination, or tradition, but by people who have genuinely placed their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, are born again by the Holy Spirit, and live in obedience to God's Word.1 Corinthians 3:11We are (LIVE) on our website's [Morning Devo] podcast now!:::: sELAH rADIO Network https://soulwinnerz.org ::::::::: https://live.soulwinnerz.org and we want to see who you are by simply clicking here https://chat.restream.io/fb :::::Join the Adult Bible Study: https://soulwinnerz.org/adultSponsored by: Bethlehem Kung Fu Center https://bethlehemkungfu.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-blaze-bible-study--525630/support.

In this sermon, Pastor Josh McPherson kicks off a new sermon series ("The Body"), and explains how the church isn't a building but you—the living, Spirit-empowered body of Jesus on earth. Discover why every believer matters, how the Holy Spirit unites and equips us, and what it looks like to live in true interdependence. Pastor Josh illustrates these truths with metaphors of the human body (foot vs. hand), a world-class soccer player's kick, and 37 trillion cells, and he draws practical applications: use your gifts, serve eagerly on teams, honor all members, avoid gossip and division, and bear one another's burdens in healthy community.Support the showThanks for listening!

This might be a stretch, but it makes me so happy to think about!
Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're hitting a hot topic: America jumping into the Israel-Iran war. And I'm just going to say it—I don't think we should've gotten involved. I've supported Donald Trump for years, but I think he got this wrong.Israel just said they didn't need us. This was their fight. Then suddenly, we're bombing a nuclear site and opening doors that didn't need to be opened. And of course, anyone who questions it gets labeled a “panican.” But guess what? The “panicans” are starting to look more and more like prophets, because now, sleeper cells are stirring, and American churches are already under attack.We don't need to be scared, we need to be wise. The Bible calls us to test the spirits, stay watchful, and seek peace when we can. (1 John 4:1, Romans 12:18). So let's talk about it honestly. Because loving your country (and even loving your favorite president) doesn't mean checking your discernment at the door and always being a yes-man.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Brother Chris talks about the body of Christ being our comfort.
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of ChristThe phrase Body of Christ was a deliberate chose of words for both the Eucharist and the Church. The Second Vatican Council calls the Church the people of God. The people of God are connected spiritually and invisibly to Christ through the gift of the Eucharist. May there be greater bonds of unity and peace as we recognize the gift of God in ourselves and another another.Scripture Readings for June 22, 2025Genesis 14:18-20Psalm 110:1- 41 Corinthians 11:23-26Luke 9:11-17
Fr. Perrin Atisha - Feast of The Body of Christ 2025 by Chaldean Diocese
Preaching for the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, Marianne Duddy-Burke invites to embody Christ's healing, compassion, and abundance by meeting the real needs of our world: "We are also the present embodiment of Christ's ministry of healing, of accompanying one another, of feeding each other. We provide the lifeblood of compassion and hope. To live into this call, we must constantly be willing to share whatever loaves and fishes we have with anyone, moving beyond individualism, tribalism, nationality, or the prioritization of any other identity, to model true stewardship in service to all."Marianne Duddy-Burke is the Executive Director of DignityUSA, working for LGBTQ+ justice and equality in the Catholic Church and society. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, National Catholic Reporter, The Advocate, Washington Post, Huffington Post, and numerous other publications. In October 2023, Marianne met with Pope Francis in an historic encounter between the Pope and leaders of LGBTQIA+ Catholic organizations. She lives in Boston with Becky, her spouse of over 30 years, and their two adopted children, now young adults, one of whom is transgender.Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/06222025 to learn more about Marianne, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.
By Tony Stith - God calls Spirit-led Christians within the body of Christ to serve as spiritual "antibodies"—guarding against the harmful influences and deceptive teachings that threaten the health and unity of His Church. But how can we be sure we're fulfilling this vital role?
At the heart of the Liturgy of the Eucharist is the epiclesis, when the priest begs the Holy Spirit to come and transform the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. The Catechism explains this mysterious reality, and Fr. Mike reiterates that the Mass is not a repetition of Christ's once-and-for-all sacrifice, but a re-presentation and celebration of his eternal sacrifice on the Cross. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1104-1112. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
