Respect and honor is easy when it's mutual, but what about when it's not? God calls us to honor our parents and elders, even when it's hard. Join us this Sabbath as we journey through the Bible and study several examples of what it means to honor our parents and elders.Downey Adventist Church SermonRestoring Honor In A Broken World10 Ways to a Better Life seriesby Chris Famisaran14 Feb. 2026www.downeychurch.org

Why does God work through weakness instead of strength—and why does the world feel hostile if God created it good? In this episode of Relish, Roan Miller and Pastor Don Patterson explore two biblical tensions many believers quietly struggle with. First, they walk through Judges 6–7 and God's decision to reduce Gideon's army to just 300 men, examining why God removes human advantage and what genuine faith looks like when outcomes aren't guaranteed. Next, they turn to Genesis 2–3 and the question of dangerous and frustrating aspects of creation. From thorns to wasps, the hosts explain how the Fall disrupted the created order—and why hardship is not evidence that God abandoned His world. Along the way, they also discuss Genesis 9, God's covenant with Noah, and what the post-Flood world reveals about God's continued care and authority. This episode offers biblical clarity for listeners wrestling with weakness, suffering, and the goodness of God in a broken world. 09:33-Gideon's Army and God's Plan 15:58-The Critters of Creation

God is zealous for the hearts of his people and will go to extreme lengths to compel them to come home to him.

Talking with kids about sex, pornography, and sexuality can stir up fear, shame, and a deep sense of inadequacy for many parents. In this episode, Dan and Rachael sit down with author and parent-educator Laurie Krieg to think through a steadier, wiser way forward—one rooted in the gospel, attunement, and ongoing relationship rather than one-time "big talks." Drawing from her new book "Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World," Laurie shares her own journey as she offers parents help to move from reactivity to intentionality. She names why these conversations feel so overwhelming—often because of our own unresolved stories—and invites parents to do their own work so they can show up with courage and calm.  Rather than avoiding hard topics or responding with fear and control, Laurie offers concrete, age-appropriate ways to engage kids through many small conversations over time, helping parents become the trusted "anchor" their children return to when confusion, curiosity, or exposure inevitably arises. This conversation is especially helpful for parents navigating early exposure to pornography, online content, and rapidly changing technology. Laurie shares practical language parents can use, how to reduce shame when kids encounter inappropriate material, and how to frame boundaries not around fear, but around God's beautiful design for bodies, intimacy, and care.  Throughout, the emphasis is clear: it's never too late to begin, repair matters more than perfection, and wisdom is something parents can grow into—step by step—as they walk alongside their children in a complex world. ===== About the Allender Center Podcast: For over a decade, the Allender Center Podcast has offered honest, thoughtful conversations about the deep work of healing and transformation.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/020126.cfmAs our nation approaches a historic milestone, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC invites us to look deeper than slogans, documents, or even the American Dream. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are good aspirations—but they are incomplete unless they are rightly ordered. True happiness, as St. Thomas Aquinas teaches, is not rooted in possessions, power, or comfort, but in communion with God Himself.Father Mark contrasts worldly definitions of happiness with the radical vision Jesus offers in the Beatitudes. Happiness is not a passing emotion or a collection of achievements; it is the deep peace that comes from desires rightly ordered toward God, who alone can satisfy the human heart. When our loves are disordered, we build inverted kingdoms—measuring success by wealth, status, or pleasure. Christ comes to overturn that logic.The Beatitudes show us how to live as citizens of the Kingdom of God in the midst of a wounded world. Poverty of spirit reminds us that God is God—and we are not. Mourning gives us eyes to see the pain of sin and injustice. Meekness governs our anger so it does not become vengeance. Hunger for righteousness fuels a desire to do God's will. Mercy, purity of heart, and peacemaking flow from a life reconciled with God. And yes, living this way may bring persecution—but it also brings freedom.This is not an escape from the world, but a way to live in it rightly. The Beatitudes are Jesus' answer to a restless age: how to be truly happy, even now, by ordering our lives toward heaven. ★ Support this podcast ★

In a broken and chaotic world, Psalm 37 invites us not to harden our hearts in fear or outrage, but to delight ourselves in the Lord. Why? And what does it mean to enjoy God?

God’s loving care for his people is so complete that not only do we have nothing to fear from the coming tribulation, we have everything to look forward to in the satisfying presence of God.

This week we continue our sermon series called "By Their Fruits You Will Know Them: 8 Core Characteristics of Authentic Followers of Jesus" by exploring what Jesus said about End Times and how that should affect our lives right now. From this we'll draw a third great characteristic of authentic followers of Jesus. Join us for a thoughtful dive into End Times prophecies.

Many hoped for a powerful hero.Instead, Jesus comes as the Lamb of God—meeting the world's brokenness with forgiveness, healing, and love.This isn't about quick fixes or escaping hard realities.It's about a deeper freedom that transforms hearts, communities, and systems.What does it really mean to follow a Saviorwhose power looks like sacrificeand whose mission is justice, mercy, and hope?Join us this Sunday as we rediscover who Jesus truly is—and what it means to boldly carry that light into the world.#followJesus #LambofGod

Today, we will have Pastor Chad Vandervalk leading us in worship. We will be reflecting on Genesis 1:26-31; Jeremiah 29:1-14, Life and Work in a Broken World. God's original call for humanity to cultivate and extend the goodness of creation still stands today. Though sin brought brokenness, God has promised renewal, which has been initiated through Jesus and will be completed at the final restoration. In the meantime, God calls His people to live as witnesses to that coming renewal by seeking the prosperity and shalom of the places they inhabit, spreading wholeness and goodness through all they do.

How do Christian parents raise kids with wisdom in a culture shaped by pornography, confusion about gender, and broken ideas about relationships—without living in “hair-on-fire” panic? In this episode of the Thinking Christian Podcast, James Spencer sits down with Lori Krieg, co-author (with Matt Krieg) of Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World (IVP) and Director of Parent Programs & Discipleship at the Center for Faith, Sexuality and Gender. Lori explains why so many Christian families become reactionary—only talking about sexuality when a crisis hits—and what it looks like to build a foundation from ages 0–12. You’ll hear practical, parent-tested guidance on shaping kids to see people as image-bearers rather than consumers, navigating technology and porn culture, and teaching body safety in age-appropriate ways. The conversation also explores the often-missed biblical connection between marriage and singleness, and why the church must recover a bigger vision of the Christian life: mission before marriage. In this episode, we cover: Why parents don’t have to wait until the teen years to talk about sexuality How technology fragments relationships—and what it’s doing to kids’ formation A Christian framework for porn prevention: moving from “rules” to mindset What “sexual brokenness” includes (more than the headlines) Teaching kids body safety and boundaries without shame or fear Why discipleship—not stereotypes—should shape how we think about gender Helping kids see their purpose as advancing God’s kingdom, not “marry and settle down” You can purchase Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World at ivpress.com (use code IVPPOD20 for a 20% discount) Subscribe to our YouTube channel

What does it really mean to seek first the Kingdom of God? In this episode of the Other Six podcast, we explore blessing, image-bearing, repentance, and why Kingdom life can only be lived in community under the reign of Jesus.

Today's sermon begins our 2026 40 Days of Prayer, The Disciples' Prayer for a Broken World. Today's message given by Senior Pastor Jerry Barber is based on Matthew 6:9 and is titled, "How Prayer Relates to God."

How do we talk to kids about violence, fear, and brokenness without overwhelming them, or pretending it doesn't exist? In this Facing the Dark episode, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender help parents navigate hard conversations sparked by news, school lessons, and cultural realities. They explore how to give children real security (not just reassurance), how to recognize emotional "pressure points," and how to create healthy release valves for stress using the ways kids are uniquely wired. This episode equips parents to replace fear with faith, confusion with clarity, and isolation with connection—anchored in the hope and security found in Christ.  

Christmas didn't arrive in calm and quiet—it came into a broken world. In this episode of the Sermon Notes Podcast, Jay Strother and Brian Ball walk through Matthew 2 to explore Herod's violence, Mary and Joseph's costly obedience, and the clash of kingdoms surrounding Jesus' birth. Rather than avoiding suffering and lament, Matthew shows us a deeper Christmas hope: the true King has come, God is with us in the darkness, and evil will not have the final word.

What does your profession have to do with Eden, glory, and eternity? In this episode of The Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals, Michael Blue unpacks an often-overlooked truth from Genesis: before humanity fell, we were clothed in glory; and after the fall, God mercifully provided coats of skin. Through Scripture, typology, and profound biblical insight, this episode reframes medicine, mental health, skilled trades, counseling, service work, and every vocation as God's provision for humanity in the "meanwhile"—the space between glory lost and glory restored. From Eden to Exodus, from the Tabernacle to Christ, this episode reveals how God uses human skill, labor, and compassion as temporary coverings, expressions of grace, until the full restoration of glory in Christ. If you've ever questioned whether what you do truly matters to God, this episode will re-anchor your calling, dignify your labor, and renew your purpose. New podcast episodes are available every Monday wherever you listen to podcasts.

The peace of God starts in an individual as they receive Jesus Christ as their Lord. But, the peace of God is meant to spread from the individual to a broken world.

“The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”- Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬-‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”- ‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭20‬-‭24‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.”- ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Experience a powerful Advent message on peace—rooted in the ancient prophecies of Scripture and fulfilled in Jesus, the Prince of Peace. In this week's sermon, Pastor Joe teaches how God's people waited for thousands of years for peace, and how Christ now fulfills that promise for every weary soul. Christmas often magnifies whatever is happening inside us. If our lives are joyful, the season feels bright. But when finances, loss, conflict, or broken relationships weigh us down, Christmas can feel more painful than peaceful. In this message, learn how the peace of Jesus: ⭐ Makes peace WITH God possible ⭐ Brings peace WITHIN us ⭐ Empowers us to bring peace TO others ⭐ And invites us to share His hope with the world You'll hear about God's ancient promise from Genesis 3, how Israel's hopes seemed cut down, and how God renewed them with the promise of a shoot from the stump of Jesse

In a world filled with anxiety, trials, and uncertainty, where does true hope come from? In this Advent message, we look to 1 Peter 1 and discover the living hope Jesus offers. Hope that strengthens us in exile, anchors us in suffering, and reminds us that God is with us.

Even thinking about engaging in a conversation with kids about sexuality can feel scary, but Laurie and Matt Krieg have a heart to help parents approach the topic without fear.The Kriegs join Jackie and Preston to discuss moving beyond the shame-filled messages of purity culture – what was a “theology of no” – instead to a theology of goodness and flourishing. They talk about being your child's “anchoring bias” – the first voice a child hears on these topics – and why it's so important to respond like Jesus when your child is exposed to something online or confesses. Laurie and Matt also share about a new video series called “Raising Kids,” created with other thought leaders including Jon Tyson, John Mark Comer, Preston Sprinkle, and the Perrys, among many others. This 8-part video series is designed for parents of kids 12 and under, covering topics such as porn prevention, body safety, gender, and belonging. https://courses.christian-sexuality.com/courses/raising-kids  Check out Laurie and Matt's upcoming book, Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World: A Gospel-Centered Approach, releasing January 2026: https://www.amazon.com/Raising-Wise-Sexually-Broken-World/dp/1514012146Scripture references:Psalm 88:1-5 This Episode is Sponsored By:https://magicspoon.com/PERRY — Get $5 off your next order!https://policygenius.com/perry — Compare free life insurance quotes from top companies and see how much you could save.
