After giving the 10 Commandments, God gave additional laws and directions for how His people should live out the commandments in their day-to-day lives. As Christians today, we strive to obey the 10 Commandments. Though we are not required to follow the additional laws that applied to ancient Israel, we can learn from God's life-giving laws for a broken world, and gain an understanding of his desire for protection, justice, mercy, and restoration.

Join us Sunday to deepen your understanding of God and life and who we are meant to be.

Today InPerspective with Dr. Harry Reeder June 20, 2025

Are you overwhelmed by pain, fear, and the chaos of today's world? Do you crave a sense of peace that nothing can shake? In this powerful episode, I dive deep into the art of securing the “peace that surpasses all understanding”—even when anguish and a lack of compassion seem to rule the day.

The Breaking of Bread – A Sacred Remembrance in a Broken World

If you're ready to empower yourself to step into your true purpose but are paralyzed by fear, what-ifs, and imposter syndrome, you've found the right conversation. Today's guest is Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, the nation's largest grassroots group fighting gun violence in the U.S. Like many of us, Shannon was left outraged and broken after hearing news stories about school shootings and seeing the impact of gun violence on communities across the countries. One night, her sadness transformed to rage, and her life was changed after a Facebook post kicked off what would become Moms Demand Action, a movement of Americans fighting for public safety measures that can protect people from gun violence. They work to pass stronger gun laws and work to close the loopholes that jeopardize the safety of families and communities. They know that gun violence is preventable, and they are committed to doing what it takes to keep families safe. Shannon has been named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People, a Forbes 50 over 50 Changemaker, and a Glamour Woman of the Year. She's also someone who went through an extraordinary transformation, and this is the focus of her and Dr. Alexandra's conversation, and of her new book, Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age. Shannon empowers folks to break free from limits, trust their instincts, and lead with passion to create meaningful change. Shannon and Dr. Alexandra talk about activism and the way it impacts relationships, particularly marriage, and Shannon shares how her own marriage evolved as she went through this incredible unfolding. Relevant Links"Your Anxiety Toolkit" on MasterClass: www.masterclass.com/youranxietytoolkitFired Up How to Turn Your Spark into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age by Shannon WattsOrder Dr. Alexandra's book, Love Every DaySubscribe to Dr. Alexandra's NewsletterSubmit a Listener Question

Walking the path of holiness in today's world means choosing to live set apart for God in a culture that often pulls us away from His truth. It is not about being perfect, but about letting the Holy Spirit transform our hearts and minds to become more like Christ. In a world filled with distractions, holiness calls us to live with integrity, love, and purpose that reflect God's character. We need the support of fellow believers, daily time in God's Word, and a deep dependence on the Spirit to stay strong. Though the journey is hard, it brings true joy, freedom, and a powerful witness to a world in desperate need of hope.

Let's pray as we prepare to hear God's word. This prayer flows from Psalm 119, the section entitled KAAF. Let's pray. Father, we, our souls, long for your salvation. And we long to hope in your word. Our eyes long for your promise. And yet at times we find we ask, When will you comfort us? For we have become like a wine skin in the smoke, and yet we have not forgotten your statutes. Even when we ask, How

Podcast Notes Episode 469 Telling Real Stories in a Broken World w/ David Alford and Joseph Stam Host: Brian Miller, PCC Guests: David Alford and Joseph Stam Date: June 12, 2025 In this episode, host Brian Miller speaks with filmmakers David Alford and Joseph Stam about their new film Searching for the Elephant. The conversation dives into the gritty, neo-western drama centered on a fractured relationship between a reclusive Vietnam veteran grandfather and his estranged, drug-addicted grandson. The filmmakers reflect on the story's themes, the challenges of portraying addiction authentically, and their departure from conventional Christian storytelling. They also highlight the collaborative nature of the production and share their passion for crafting emotionally honest, conflict-rich narratives that mirror the messiness of real life.  Key Highlights Story Premise & Tone: Searching for the Elephant is a character-driven neo-western that explores emotional isolation, generational trauma, and redemption. It pushes past sanitized storytelling, embracing grittier, more realistic portrayals of pain and healing. Authenticity in Addiction Portrayal: Joseph Stam, who plays the grandson Jason, immersed himself in research—watching documentaries, developing a backstory, and spending time with people in recovery—to ensure a truthful and respectful performance. Intentional Departure from Hallmark-style Christian Films: The filmmakers wanted to reflect the complexity of faith and life, avoiding the overly "tidy" resolution tropes common in Christian media, aiming instead for authenticity and emotional realism. Dynamic Character Arcs: Both the grandfather and grandson undergo parallel transformations, with layered, conflicted emotions that resonate with anyone who's experienced strained family relationships. Collaborative Creative Process: The team emphasized a “best idea wins” environment on set, fostering creativity among cast and crew and contributing to the film's grounded, emotionally rich atmosphere. Takeaways Conflict drives great storytelling: As the filmmakers note, real drama is born from unresolved tensions—and leaning into conflict rather than avoiding it leads to more compelling narratives. Faith-based films can be gritty and real: There's room in Christian cinema for raw, unpolished stories that still carry messages of hope and redemption without sugarcoating reality. Authenticity requires dedication: Bringing depth to characters—especially those struggling with addiction or trauma—demands time, empathy, and careful preparation. Humor has its place in drama: Subtle, character-grounded humor helped balance the film's intensity, providing relief without undercutting emotional weight.

NEED PRAYER? Please send your prayer requests to us on Instagram @chosenbyjesuscbj or email kelleytyan21@gmail.com In this bold and eye opening episode, Kelley and Taylor share a sobering breakdown of how the enemy works subtly to destroy the minds, hearts, and spirits of young people today.  "If you were the devil, how would you take out the next generation, without them even noticing?" This scary question was a reel that went viral.  We are dissecting the answer it gives from ChatGPT and wait until you hear this! We pray this message will stir your heart to make changes in your lives where you need to. Imagine this: If the devil wanted to destroy a generation, he wouldn't come with horns and fire- he would come through confusion and comfort.  He'd start early-before children even know who they are-and he would distract them with: *social media and noise that drowns out their purpose *addictive dopamine highs that leave them overstimulated and underdeveloped *instant gratification that makes silence unbearbale *rebellion marketed as "self love" *sin glamorized as "self expression" The truth?  > Many kids today can't sit still or in silence without a screen > Faith is treated like a chore > Porn, parties, and celebrity culture are normal before they're even teens > Mental and emotional health is crumbling under the weight of comparison, isolation, and performance > The absence of God is never identified as the root cause BUT THERE IS HOPE! And we are calling parents, mentors, and believers to WAKE UP and fight back! Listen in how Taylor share how the Holy Spirit can break the chains of addiction, confusion, and cultural bondage.

This Sunday we continue our sermon series on "Women Who Shaped Our Faith -- Six Powerful Gospel Stories." In this week's Gospel story, we'll encounter a woman who deliberately broke a sacred religious rule in the presence of Jesus. She did what was strictly forbidden. How would Jesus respond? And what can we learn from his example? This sermon is critical for everyone who wants to make the world a better place.

1 Peter 1:1-12 ESV Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: Jonathan Smith Recalling the big picture message from the first week, we are ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness to the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth. In today's message from Acts 3, we see Peter & John heal a man who was lame from birth. Peter and John are imitating what Jesus did - healing people in the power of The Holy Spirit. Peter then explains to everybody how and why this was able to happen. From our perspective this event shows us three important and fundamental things: 1. The forgiveness of all sins; 2. The restoration of all things; 3. The salvation of all peoples. Pastor Jonathan expounds and explores on each of these principles. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.

On this episode of the Nacho Kids Podcast, Lori welcomes Daryl Potter, a Canadian banker and published author, for a conversation that takes us far beyond the typical stepfamily story. Daryl isn't a member of a blended family himself, but his experience raising a child with two extremely rare medical conditions has given him a unique perspective on navigating “irregular” family dynamics and finding beauty in unexpected places. Daryl opens up about his 28-year marriage, the cultural mosaic of his household, and the challenges and profound blessings of caring for his daughter, who is the only person in the world with her combination of diagnoses. He shares how his family has had to rewrite the script on everything from holidays to family vacations, and how his son has learned life skills and empathy far beyond his years. Throughout the episode, Daryl and Lori delve into themes of grief, acceptance, reframing success, and the importance of not comparing pain, reminding us that everyone's journey holds its own weight, no matter how “broken” it may appear from the outside. Daryl's story is a powerful reminder that, whether you're in a stepfamily or not, every family must find its own version of normal and discover joy, purpose, and connection along the way. In this episode, we discuss: Coping with and Managing a Severely Disabled Child Grief and Adapting to a "broken" or Non-traditional Family Impact on Siblings: The "Leftover" Dynamic Finding Meaning and Perspective in Suffering and Difference Key Advice for Parents Facing Disability or Blended Family Challenges Nacho Parenting Success Stories: “The biggest surprise?

Reaching our Broken World | Jordan Franklin by CrossPoint Church

What does it really mean to “love your neighbor as yourself”? It's one of the most quoted phrases in the Bible—used in politics, on social media, and in personal conversations. But are we quoting Jesus accurately? In this sermon, we dig into Matthew 22:34–40 to explore what Jesus truly meant when He linked loving your neighbor with loving God.You'll learn:- Why “love your neighbor” isn't the first thing Jesus said—and why that matters.- How putting your neighbor before God can lead to compromise.- What real love looks like in tough situations—when someone's asking you to support something you know isn't right.- How Jesus reframes love in the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10).Discover why the order of your loves determines the shape of your life, and how keeping God as your first love transforms the way you care for the people around you.

In The Promise of Sunrise: Finding Solace in a Broken World (Green Writers Press, 2025), a former Bronx Zoo zoologist and award-winning nature writer, Ted Levin, spent Covid rediscovering his valley and the joys of watching the season pass, day by day by day. The book is a chronicle of his rediscovery of the Thetford, Vermont hillside on which he lived and a recounting of the daily joys of observing home ground as Levin (like many of us) was forced by Covid to stay home for nearly two years. In the end, he sold his home and moved to Hurricane Hill in Hartford, Vermont, which ends the narrative, although he continues the same routine. Ted has been a Naturalist at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park and then was a teaching zoologist at the Bronx Zoo in New York.  After studying Ornithology in graduate school, he served as a Naturalist at the Montshire Museum of Science in Norwich VT … and also was on the faculty of New England College in Henniker, NH. This book, is the latest in a long list of his books and publications going back to the 1980s. besides his previous natural history books, he has written and illustrated a book for preschoolers, contributed to a photo journal on the Everglades and has provided illustrations for two books on poetry. His many articles can be found in such publications as The New York Times, News Day, The Guardian, Audubon Magazine and even Sports illustrated. Of particular note, Ted won the prestigious John J. Burroughs Medal, a recognition that hi-lights the best of natural history writing. Professor Michael Simpson has been the Director of the Resource Management and Administration graduate program at Antioch University New England, in Keene, NH.
