James Bondservant: Agent 24/7 (Part 4) 6/12/25 As James Bondservant and Notso Smart search for Scaryface, they realize that Smart is becoming a better agent since he started reading the Bible and doing what it says. When they encounter Messa Hairy, Smart remembers God's Word and acts in faith! “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”  Proverbs 18:21. Smart also remembers Mark 16:17-18, “These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: …if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them” —just in time to save them from Messa Hairy's deadly poison! ‭‭ #kids, #storiesforkids, #bedtimestoriesforkids, #storiesforchristiankids, #biblelessonsforkids, #bestronginthelord, #protection, #everygoodgiftcomesfromgod, #servingjesuschrist, #lessonsfromjames, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #fishbites4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb

Bondservant teaches Notso Smart from James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬, “Don't just listen to God's Word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” ‭‭Scaryface has set a trap for agents Bondservant and Not-So Smart in hopes that they will deny Jesus and follow him. But Bondservant stands on God's Word. “God is working in me, giving me the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.” Philippians 2:13 #kids, #storiesforkids, #bedtimestoriesforkids, #storiesforchristiankids, #biblelessonsforkids, #bestronginthelord, #protection, #everygoodgiftcomesfromgod, #servingjesuschrist, #lessonsfromjames, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #fishbites4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb Hitman by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1300013 Artist: http://incompetech.com/

Their village had sent them on a mission—not to return home until they had found a Bible. With Bibles so scarce, they had searched tirelessly, unsure if they would ever succeed. When they learned of the backpack full of Bibles and received one for themselves, they were overwhelmed, moved to tears by the answered prayer they had longed for.

12/29/24 Sunday Morning service

This short but profound epistle centers on Onesimus, a runaway bondservant who has become a brother in Christ. Paul makes a bold, loving appeal for Philemon—his master and prominent Christian leader in Colossae, to receive Onesimus not as a slave, but as a beloved brother, embodying the reconciliation made possible through the Gospel. The Apostle appeals to forgiveness, Christian love, and the transformation of earthly relationships in light of our shared identity in Christ as he urges Onesimus to do the right thing.   The Rev. Dr. Nathan Meador, Mission Executive for the South Wisconsin District—LCMS, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Paul's letter to Philemon. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org. Thy Strong Word is graciously underwritten by the Lutheran Heritage Foundation. Through the mission gifts of people like you, LHF translates, publishes, distributes and introduces books that are Bible-based, Christ-centered and Reformation-driven. Learn more at lhfmissions.org.

Ron shares an update on the church in China following his meetings with pastors overseas. Persecution continues to escalate, with the Communist Party employing intimidation, imprisonment, and outright theft to suppress believers. Yet, despite facing daily threats to their safety, the faith and courage of Chinese Christians remain a powerful inspiration as they steadfastly take up their cross and follow Christ.

We are slaves of Christ, our Master and Owner. We belong to Him. He owns us and all we have (Rom 6:22, 1Cor 7:22). His Spirit within is the seal of His ownership (1Cor 6:19,20, 2Cor 1:22, Eph 1:13, 4:30). There's a word for servant (diakonos), and another for slave (doulos), describing our relationship with God (Rom 1:1, Phil 1:1, Titus 1:1, Jas 1:1 2Pet 1:1, Jude 1:1, Rev 1:1). We miss the truth we are His slaves, because doulos is translated as servant, not slave, due to the stigma of human slavery. But this weakens its force. The difference is that although a servant works under his lord's authority, he belongs to himself, but a slave is owned by His master. Human slavery is evil, but in relationship to God, it's right, as He (1) created and (2) purchased us. If you accept His purchase of yourself, receiving Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you belong to Him. So, we must embrace the truth we are His slaves as well as sons, so every blessing He gives still belongs to Him. Then surrender and obedience becomes natural, setting us free from slavery to sin. When I say: “Jesus is my Lord (Kurios)” (Rom 10:9), it doesn't just mean He has the right to tell me what to do (as His servant), but also, He has absolute authority over my being - He owns me! In the Hebrew Old Testament, 2 words are equivalent to Kurios (1) Yahweh, and (2) Adonai (master, owner). Both are names for God, that were translated into Greek as Kurios (Lord), so when we say: “Jesus is Lord” it means He is Yahweh and my Owner. He owns me and all my blessings, so has the right to define my identity and future. All I have is given by Him, but I own nothing, for I am owned by Him. Once we realise He purchased us for Himself, we know as His slave we own nothing, not even the blessings, He richly gives us to possess. A submissive heart to God rejoices in this truth. Sin's essential nature is seen in man's original sin (Gen 3), rejecting God's ownership, not just of the garden (the blessing), but also of himself (v4-6), to establish himself in independence from God, by trying to own (control) everything himself (covetousness). Before, man was spiritually alive, living by God's life, enjoying His blessing. But by claiming ownership, he cut himself off from God, who is life (Gen 2:17). When you reject slavery to God, you are not free, but are a slave of sin, under satan's power. Instead of being a slave of a loving, gracious life-giving God, man put himself under the hand of an evil slave master, and suffers the curse (death). Jesus came to pay the price with His Blood to redeem us from slavery to sin and the hand of the enemy. When we receive Him as Lord and accept His Blood for us, He sets us free from that slavery, to become slaves of Christ - true liberty. We have a choice to be a slave of sin or God (Rom 6). To live a life of liberty, we must deny self-ownership. “If anyone desires to come (follow) after Me (Jesus), let him deny (ownership of) himself (his independent soul life), and take up His Cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save (own) his life will lose it (become a slave to sin), but whoever loses (surrenders control of) his life for My sake will find it (discover real life, under His grace). For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul (to sin)? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matt 16:24-26). For God's life to flow freely in us, we must deny self-ownership, then we'll be free to possess all He wants to give. He wants to bless us with all things, but not so we use them to be independent, for if we act as if we own His blessing & blessings, we cut ourselves off from the Source of life. If we embrace the fact we are poor slaves who own nothing, and submit to His control of us and His blessing, and then we qualify to possess all things. Knowing my poverty makes me totally depend on God and His continual supply of life. Although poor in myself, I'm rich, for in His love, He provides all I need. We need to know God as both (1) El Shaddai and (2) Adonai to receive and abide in His river of grace. (1) El Shaddai is the mighty God, who supplies all our need, who is strong when are weak. When we realize we need Him continually, being poor (owning nothing) and weak (having nothing in ourselves), we turn to Him as our Source, calling on and trusting Him to fill us. As He faithfully continually fills us with Himself, we stay ever thankful for His abundant grace. This is the 1st key to receiving and abiding in His grace. (2) Adonai means Owner and Lord. Knowing He owns us and all He gives us, we surrender ourselves and His grace back to Him, so He has final control, and we live unto Him in obedience. This is the 2nd key to living under grace. Rather than holding on to the safety of the bank, we let go and trust His Spirit to flow through us and carry us along, releasing final control to God. Then all things will be ours and His plan for us will be fulfilled.

“Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are NOT your OWN? For you were BOUGHT at a PRICE (the Blood of Christ); therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's (property)” (1Cor 6:19-20). We are OWNED by God. So, we are SLAVES of Christ, not just His servants. We belong to Christ, which means all we are and have belongs to Him. Therefore, He has the right to define who we are, and make us into who we are meant to be. His ownership is based on the fact He is our (1) Creator and (2) Redeemer. The Spirit within us is God's seal, signifying we belong to Him (2Cor 1:22, Eph 1:13, 4:30). He is the HOLY Spirit, which means He sets us apart to God, by His indwelling Presence. The more we surrender to Him, the greater the Presence of His Spirit within us. He manifests His ownership by possessing us with His Spirit, who sets us apart to God, and the more we are sanctified, the more we are free from sin. There is a paradox that (1) we are OWNED by God (so we own nothing), but (2) POSSESS all things in Christ, as He is a God of grace, who freely and richly gives us all things to enjoy (1Tim 6:17). The key to solving this paradox is understanding the difference between OWNERSHIP and POSSESSION, for we can possess a thing, without owning it (2Cor 6:10). So, we are (1) POOR, but also (2) RICH. If we are poor (knowing we own nothing), then we are rich through God's blessing, which is free to flow in our life, enabling us to possess all things. If we embrace the truth that we own nothing, as God owns us, then we qualify to receive every blessing (Matthew 5:3, Luke 6:20). I am (1) WEAK in myself, because I do not own my own strength, but I am (2) STRONG in the Lord, for I possess strength by His grace (2Cor 12:10, Joel 3:10). God gave Israel the Promised Land to possess and enjoy by faith. This is a picture of the land of blessings that God has for us. He promises us many good things, that He wants us to possess. But He keeps the ownership of the land. Israel possessed it, but did not own it. He gave them the right of possession as tenant possessors. Israel forgot God was the Owner, took His blessing for granted, and acted independently, as if they were the owners. Likewise, it is a sin to try and own (covet) what God gives us. In Deuteronomy 8, God warned them against pride - forgetting God was their Source of all their blessing, which they only possessed by His grace (v17-18). Because of their idolatry, they were unable to possess and enjoy their land. They disqualified themselves by rejecting His ownership and acting independently from God, as they wanted. Likewise, when we think we are the owners of the things of life, we cut ourselves off from God's blessing. The essence of sin is claiming ownership of and for ourselves, so we can be in control. We do not want to be God's slaves, owned by Him, so He has final control over our lives. We must accept that our life with God is governed by the truth He is our owner and the owner of all things we possess. Thus, we must depend continually on His grace, life and provision. What God gives to us in His grace, is not ours in the sense we now own it, so we can be independent from God. He wants us to possess and enjoy all things, but will not allow us to own them, for He wants us to stay dependent on Him (live by faith). If we try to own them, we block His blessing in our life, by the sin of covetousness. Adonai means absolute Master and Owner. He does not just own the blessings of grace, but also us. We are slaves, owning nothing, but we have a gracious Lord. When embrace this truth (we are poor), then we are blessed, for His blessing can now be fully released in our life, enabling us to possess and enjoy all things in His Kingdom (Luke 6:20). Covetousness limits how much God can bless us. To experience fullness of life, we must surrender to God's ownership of us, His blessing (grace) and blessings (gifts of grace). This is the fundamental principle of being a creature (1st Beatitude) - although He gives us all things to enjoy, we are not their owner, but must continually depend on God for them. To possess His promises, we must surrender ownership, not just of the blessing, but of ourselves to God. We are just the steward (manager) of His blessings. We must trust God, moment by moment, for His grace. As soon as we try and take control, the supply (flow) of grace diminishes. Understanding God as the Owner of all things, including us, changes our whole attitude towards His grace and the blessings of life, making us depend on Him and thank Him. The nature of the flesh is to be discontent with His provision. It wants ownership and independence from God, and tries to take control. Thus, we want the right to define ourselves and control our lives, rather than trusting our Creator and embracing His will for us. God wants us to possess every blessing, but to do this, we must yield all ownership to God.

“Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are NOT your OWN? For you were BOUGHT at a PRICE (the Blood of Christ); therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's (property)” (1Cor 6:19-20). We are OWNED by God. So, we are SLAVES of Christ, not just His servants. We belong to Christ, which means all we are and have belongs to Him. Therefore, He has the right to define who we are, and make us into who we are meant to be. His ownership is based on the fact He is our (1) Creator and (2) Redeemer. The Spirit within us is God's seal, signifying we belong to Him (2Cor 1:22, Eph 1:13, 4:30). He is the HOLY Spirit, which means He sets us apart to God, by His indwelling Presence. The more we surrender to Him, the greater the Presence of His Spirit within us.

If we embrace the truth that we own nothing, as God owns us, then we qualify to receive every blessing (Matthew 5:3, Luke 6:20). I am (1) WEAK in myself, because I do not own my own strength, but I am (2) STRONG in the Lord, for I possess strength by His grace (2Cor 12:10, Joel 3:10).

If we try to own them, we block His blessing in our life, by the sin of covetousness. Adonai means absolute Master and Owner. He does not just own the blessings of grace, but also us. We are slaves, owning nothing, but we have a gracious Lord. When embrace this truth (we are poor), then we are blessed, for His blessing can now be fully released in our life, enabling us to possess and enjoy all things in His Kingdom (Luke 6:20). Covetousness limits how much God can bless us. To experience fullness of life, we must surrender to God's ownership of us, His blessing (grace) and blessings (gifts of grace). This is the fundamental principle of being a creature (1st Beatitude) - although He gives us all things to enjoy, we are not their owner, but must continually depend on God for them. To possess His promises, we must surrender ownership, not just of the blessing, but of ourselves to God. We are just the steward (manager) of His blessings. We must trust God, moment by moment, for His grace. As soon as we try and take control, the supply (flow) of grace diminishes. Understanding God as the Owner of all things, including us, changes our whole attitude towards His grace and the blessings of life, making us depend on Him and thank Him. The nature of the flesh is to be discontent with His provision. It wants ownership and independence from God, and tries to take control. Thus, we want the right to define ourselves and control our lives, rather than trusting our Creator and embracing His will for us. God wants us to possess every blessing, but to do this, we must yield all ownership to God.

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast has Dr. Mitchell's book on Philippians on our website. It can be downloaded free of charge at unchangingword.LIFE. Dr. Mitchell continues looking at the humility of Christ Jesus who being in the form of God came to earth, taking the form of a bondservant and being made in the likeness of men. Dr. Mitchell will look in depth at the extent of Jesus' humiliation in this lesson… from a throne to the cross, from glory to to a curse because of His love for you and me. Speaking of the mind of Christ, here is Dr. Mitchell, Philippians chapter 2 verse 6. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchanging-word/message

We are indeed called to be deferred to be separated. And part of that ability to live out this unique call in our life is to discern those things that are holy, discern them from those things that are not. And we're going to see an example from the priests, they are called to live in a unique way, in a distinct way. And we can learn from this passage, insight, wisdom principles, that we need to apply to our life so that we are indeed, those who reflect and bear witness to the holiness and the glory and the righteousness of the kingdom of God.

God is indeed a God of justice. And therefore we need to behave justly. And even though in some languages, that word justice and the word righteousness is the same, many times in the Scripture, we see two different words being used for these two different concepts. Obviously, there's a relationship between them when we execute justice.
