Luke 1:26-38; Pastor Stan Welch - Interim Pastor

In this episode, T. Louise opens up about one of the toughest parts of walking with God — being misunderstood and criticized for your faith, even by the people closest to you. From family who laughed at her testimony to friends who questioned her character, she shares what it feels like to be under spiritual attack while simply trying to obey God's calling.This isn't just another story about pain — it's a powerful reminder that being chosen doesn't mean being exempt from opposition. When God calls you, the enemy will try to silence you, discourage you, and make you question your worth. But just like Jesus, we must learn to stand firm in truth and love, even when the world doesn't understand us.

Listen as Pastor Cole helps us see how God's choosing of Jacob reveals that God accomplishes His purpose according to His plan.

Many are discarding Israel today as if God has forgotten about them or that the church has replaced them. The Bible has dozens of unfulfilled promises for Israel, the Jews, and Jerusalem that will be completely fulfilled literally. Grab your Bible, turn to Isaiah 44, and follow along with Pastor Mike.

October 28 2025 Tuesday Your Words Matter / Week 39 You Are Chosen By God #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

Faith Principle #8 Biblical Faith Gives Us the Strength and Ability We NeedTODAY'S TREASUREBy faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them. By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.Hebrews 11:23-29 (ESV) (also see Exodus 1-15)Send us a comment!Support the show

The God who loves us and chose us will never give up on us.

A sermon by Reverend SN Motha based on the book of Acts chapter 4 verse 11

We all know what it feels like to be overlooked, dismissed, or underestimated. But what if the very places the world counts you out are the places God is preparing to call you up?In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author Mary Marantz to talk about her new book Underestimated and the power of God's hand in the stories others might write off. If you've ever felt unseen, unqualified, or “not enough,” this conversation will remind you that while the world may underestimate you—God never does.

In Ephesians 1:3, Paul writes, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” On this week's episode, we'll look at the four blessings we have in Christ from chapter 1.

We embrace the gift of faith and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ by what we say and do. (Lectionary #425) August 25, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Think about this truth. God didn't have to love us. He didn't have to offer us grace and mercy. Nothing forced God to show us forgiveness. Nothing compelled Him to give us the precious gift of eternal life, but God chose to. He chose to love us. He chose to call us His own. He chose to make us children of God. Main Points:1. If you've ever been tempted to doubt the love of God, recognize this wonderful blessing: God chose to love you. Despite all of your sins, your failures, and your mistakes, God still chose to love you and wants to spend eternity with you. 2. But there's more, not only has God chosen to love us, he has chosen to use us. You have an assignment, a task, and a role to play in the kingdom of God. For many of us, we feel as if we aren't capable or qualified, so we expect God will use others instead, but that is not what the scriptures teach us.3. God takes great joy and delight to use our lives for his glory. As He empowers us with His Holy Spirit, and we take steps of faith and obedience, great things are accomplished through our lives. All of this takes place because chooses to make it happen.Today's Scripture Verses:1 Peter 2:9 - “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”1 Peter 2:4 - “…rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him.”1 Corinthians 1:26-29 - “Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

God chooses God's people according to God's plan. And because God is good and He does good, His plan is good and His people He will make good.

In this message, Pastor John Carter reminds us, though we may be adopted and born into God's family, His DNA, His genetic material is in our spirit and that gives us our privileged position to call God Father.

Fr. Mike uses King Saul as an example that God does not unchoose those he has chosen, and never loses faith in us. Even if we feel someone is in power unjustly, it's God who decides who holds power, not us. Today's readings are 1 Samuel 24 and Psalm 57.

Today's Promise: John 15:16 It's a little hard to wrap your head around this, but the God of the universe chose you. He spoke to your heart and drew you to Himself. Before the world ever began, God chose you to be his child. God chose you to be His child. You had nothing of value to offer God. You were no better than anyone else. There is absolutely no reason for God to choose you, but He did. He chose you and called you to be His child.  

Send us a textAs we continue our descent in the cycle of the judges, things start to feel very shaky.  Was Jephthah chosen by God or did God use him because that's who the people picked?  Jephthah brought about an incredible victory for the Lord, but that victory gets overshadowed by his vow.  Even after he made that vow, did he have other options?  Erika digs deep into this chapter to help us make sense of things that don't sit well with us - spoiler it's not meant to sit well.  Our website - www.thecontextandcolorofthebible.comWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeWe are on Pinterest - The Context and Color of the BibleMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In the final week of our Abide series, we focus on the assurance we have in Christ. 1 John 5:10-15 reminds us that eternal life is found in Jesus alone, and through Him, we can confidently approach God in prayer. As Peter declared in John 6:68-69, there is no one else to whom we can turn—only Jesus has the words of eternal life. John 15:16 reassures us that we are chosen and appointed by God, called to bear fruit that lasts.This Sunday is also a significant moment in the life of Integrity Church, as it marks Pastor Ben Tugwell's last Sunday serving as our lead pastor.

God has chosen you

To be chosen by God! What an honor, what a responsibility, and indeed we called for both. By faith, by hope we leave our nets and follow the Man who can see who we will become – for we shall be like Him, those who hold no record of wrong, who are gentle, kind and rely on God to work within us this life-transforming image of His Son, Jesus.

Today we're joined by pro-life advocate and worship leader Steventhen Holland to hear his story of finding his birth mother, a mentally challenged woman who was raped as a girl and chose life for him despite all the odds. Steventhen shares his testimony of finding Christ and becoming a worship leader and how the tragedy of miscarriage led to the realization that God wanted him to find his birth mother. We discuss their initial meeting and how he responded to learning what had happened to her and how she still chose life for him. We also respond to those who argue for abortion exceptions and how this is a slap in the face to people like Steventhen and his mother, who courageously said no to the pressures to abort him.
