Christian education in Russia.  Yes, you read that correctly.  And, not only is it happening, it's been happening for thirty years.Three decades of Christian education within a nation with a track record of hostility towards the Gospel is not for the faint of heart.  For the brave men and women involved, it has required courage and a constant commitment to excellence.And, Joy Watson has led that team.  Today, we enjoy a remarkable Kingdom Culture Conversation with Joy has she articulates the courage of her team, the risks that they face, and how a commitment to excellence undergirds the ability to provide a transformational education in a very surprising locale."Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.For more information on Frameworks, please visit: https://frameworks.ncsaz.org/For more information on Northwest Christian School, visit: https://www.ncsaz.org/To reach out to Geoff Brown, please email gbrown@ncsaz.org or you can reach him by cell phone: (623)225-5573.

What if the greatest barrier to your breakthrough… is what you've grown too used to? In this soul-stirring message, Freedom From Familiar, Guest Pastor Darrison Tellez unpacks a powerful moment from Luke 4, where Jesus returns to His hometown—not to comfort the crowd, but to confront their complacency. Though He reads the scroll proclaiming liberty, healing, and freedom, the people reject Him. Why? Because what becomes familiar often becomes dismissed. With piercing insight, Pastor Darrison exposes how the sin of familiarity can rob us of reverence, how church can become a chore instead of a joy, and how the enemy distorts our perception—making captivity feel like liberty, and true liberty feel like a burden. Through scriptures like John 8:36 and Galatians 5:1, we're reminded: freedom is not a feeling—it's a promise. But you have to fight to keep it. You have to resist the pull of old patterns, daily deny yourself, and choose the altar—not just for others, but for you. This is your wake-up call to stop circling the same mountain and step boldly into the freedom Jesus died to give you. It's time to break the chains of the familiar—and walk in the power of the Spirit.

In our message today, John shares with us how the Christians in Corinth were making a mockery of the Lord's Supper because of their divisive spirit. So, Paul confronts their attitude and actions and reminds them of the purpose behind the memorial and warns them about partaking of it in an unworthy manner.

John brings us another message in our study through 1 Corinthians. In chapter 11, Paul addresses a difficult subject that was complicating things in the church of Corinth. He speaks to the issue of how men and women are to worship God in proper decorum and godly order. It's not really about head coverings, rather it's about our identity in Christ and following God's design for life.

Join us to hear the Sunday message from Embrace Church.

In this back-to-school season, Pastor Dave Bondeson invites us to reflect on our spiritual health by unpacking Ephesians 4:1–16. He outlines three marks of a healthy church community: unity in Christ, dependence on one another, and a commitment to growth in Christlikeness. Dave also unpacks six core church priorities—gathering, growing, grounded, grace-filled, going, and giving—and challenges us to identify one area to focus on this fall. This sermon is a timely call to intentional discipleship and deeper connection at Woodlands Church.

As we conclude Paul's letter to the Colossians, we hear his final instructions to the church and bear witness to the many other colaborers who worked alongside Paul in gospel ministry. What can we learn about leading our own Christian life from these final verses? Join us this week for a glimpse of Paul's practical Christianity.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

This message focused on spiritual counseling, emphasizing Christ's sufficiency, the dangers of distractions, and maintaining a pure heart and mind. We explored wisdom, fellowship with God, and the necessity of personal study alongside teaching. Biblical examples were used to illustrate the value of Christ-centered living, discernment, and the consequences of sin. The session concluded with gratitude for guidance, encouragement to remain distraction-free in devotion, and prayer for spiritual growth and understanding.Themes:Christ's sufficiency and spiritual renewal (1 Corinthians; Job; Psalms)Dangers of distractions and worldly influencesImportance of a pure heart and mindTrue wisdom as a gift from God (Job 28; Proverbs references)Joy and fellowship in God's presenceConsequences of sin and accountability in Christian lifeComplementary roles of being taught and personal study of ScriptureDistraction-free devotion to receive God's WordScripture References:1 Corinthians; Job 28; Psalms; Proverbs (wisdom passages)

This sermon on the family, called "Benefits Of A Christ-Centered Home" by Pastor Paul E Chapman, emphasizes that a truly flourishing home is built upon a foundation of faith, not material wealth or outward appearances. Drawing from Psalm 127, it highlights that without God's presence, even the most lavish structures are ultimately empty, and underscores the importance of unity, forgiveness, and security within the family. Through the illustrative story of the Johnson family, the message conveys that a Christ-centered home is characterized by God's presence, loving relationships, and a sense of refuge, ultimately leading to joy and a deeper connection with one another and with God, regardless of circumstances. This sermon was preached during a weekly service at Curtis Corner Baptist Church in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Curtis Corner Baptist Church is a vibrant, independent, fundamental Baptist Church located on the southern coast of Rhode Island. Through clear preaching from the King James Bible, consistent personal soul-winning, and a bold stand on holy living, CCBC continues the mission today that began when it was founded in August of 1842.

Starting a new semester means preparing our schedules, buying supplies, and planning classes, but how often do we prepare spiritually?

From morning quiet time, to prayer on the go, to finding life-giving community, this is a step-by-step guide to abiding in Him all semester long.Click here for a guide that gives a recap of the video and reflection questions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y0tMQrbMpLLv5QJzJKSztLz8SQKOeAumgcyceRNF-ZE/edit?usp=sharing

In this sermon, from 1 Corinthians 10:14-11:1, we'll learn that God expects our full devotion and worship. He is a jealous God and doesn't want to share us with demons who are found in the idolatries of the world. While we have freedom in Christ, we are called to serve Him and others, not to be served. In everything we do, we are to do it for the glory of God.

In our fragmented cultural moment, we don't need more power struggles; we need a new cultural vision for the world altogether. The emphasis on individual autonomy and political idealism promises healing, but is only driving wounds deeper. The backdrop of the New Testament is no different. In a fragmented and wounded world, it was the counter-cultural way of Christianity that not only began to heal the world but also drove the early church's influence and growth. Against the conventional way of classism, personal retributive justice, and dominance, Christians lived in the way of compassion, gentleness, and lowliness. This week, we'll look at Colossians 3 and the antithesis of Paul's “put off” and turn to what Christians are commanded to “put on.” We'll see the counter-cultural way of the Christian community as the healing of the world.

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN: THE DEITY AND TEACHING OF JESUS CHRIST“The Road to Glory - Life Through Death”John 12:20-26 NKJVChrist's Bible Fellowship - Barrigada, Guam USASpeaker: Pastor Avery FerrerasSunday, August 17, 2025

Shaping Christ-Centered LeadersAfter nearly four decades in banking — culminating in a role leading over 7,000 employees across 1,000 Huntington Bank branches—Jon Greenwood knows a thing or two about leadership. He didn't just climb the corporate ladder; he built the culture beneath it, rooted in trust, consistency, and hard work. A self-proclaimed “overachiever,” Jon thrived by showing up, outworking everyone around him, and staying grounded in who he was in Christ.Now, he's bringing that lifetime of experience back to where it all started — Cedarville University.Jon's path to Cedarville wasn't exactly planned. As a high school senior in Springfield, Ohio, he was bound for Taylor University — just like many of his family members. But through a series of unexpected twists, including a last-minute golf tournament and his pastor father's connection to Cedarville University, he became a Yellow Jacket.  That seemingly small pivot shaped everything that followed — from his marriage to his professional life — and taught him to trust God's guidance, even when it didn't make sense.That trust became the foundation of Jon's leadership style. Throughout his banking career, he focused on building cultures where people could thrive, trust mattered more than titles, and integrity trumped efficiency. Even to this day, he believes “culture eats strategy for lunch.”Now, Jon is pouring that wisdom into CU Lead, Cedarville's new leadership initiative. It's more than a program — it's a movement. CU Lead will help college students and business leaders discover how God wired them. It reaches across disciplines — welcoming pastors, pharmacists, engineers, and teachers alike — because every field needs leaders who are anchored in character.CU Lead also opens doors to the marketplace through conferences, a speakers series, and practical partnerships with businesses. The goal? To produce graduates who are not only professionally competent but spiritually grounded — leaders who can be trusted with influence.Jon Greenwood's story is a testament to what God can do with a life fully surrendered. And now, he's helping others write their own stories — starting with who they are in Christ. He recently shared more about this journey on the Cedarville Stories podcast, offering listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the faith and leadership that have defined his path.https://share.transistor.fm/s/40a621bdhttps://youtu.be/-R_v_So-JKU

Series: Church CultureTitle: A Christ Centered ChurchSpeaker: Pastor Bruce Burkett

Welcome to Week 1 of our brand-new sermon series, Home Sweet Home! In this series, we're diving into God's design for the family — marriage, children, parenting, singleness — and how every season of life can flourish when Jesus is at the center of our home. In today's message, “A Christ-Centered Home,” Pastor Dustin unpacks the biblical blueprint for family, reminding us that the home is more than a physical place — it's a sacred space where faith is formed, character is shaped, and love is lived out daily. Whether you're single, married, parenting, or an empty-nester, God's vision for the home begins with Him at the center. Key Scriptures: Mark 10:6–8 | Psalm 127:3–5 | Deuteronomy 6:5–9 | Ephesians 6:1–3 | 1 Corinthians 7:7–8 | Proverbs 3:6 | Colossians 3:15–17 | Acts 2:46 | 1 Thessalonians 5:11 In this message, you'll discover: – God's view of marriage, children, parenting, and singleness – Why the home is a sanctuary, not a stage – 8 practical keys to building a Christ-centered home – How to create rhythms of peace, love, and authenticity – Why protecting the table and building memories matters for spiritual formation “Marriage is a covenant, not a contract. Children are a gift, not a project. Singleness is a season with divine assignment. The home is sacred because God designed it that way.” 8 Keys to a Christ-Centered Home: 1. Make God normal in your home 2. Set the tone with peace, not pressure 3. Let love be obvious and ongoing 4. Be the same person at home and in public 5. Say sorry and forgive quickly 6. Protect the table 7. Build memories, not just schedules 8. Remind each other who they are in Christ Closing Prayer from today's message. Heavenly Father, I thank You for our family. We declare that Jesus is the center of our home, our hope, and our future. We choose to love one another deeply, forgive quickly, and speak life over each other. We will make time for what matters most: Your Word, Your presence, your church, and each other. Our home will be a place of peace, joy, and grace. As for us and our house, we will serve the Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.

As chapter 10 of 1 Corinthians begins, Paul is giving a history lesson of Israel's past to remind the Corinthians that even though you may have the blessings of God in your life, even though you may be privileged to be considered His chosen people, you have to live a life of faithfulness. When temptations come your way, God expects you to resist and overcome, however, if you are ready for that yet, He always provides a way of escape.

Join us in a study through Acts as we observe how a church should conduct themselves. This week in Acts 1:8 we see that a community centered and focused on Jesus is a community that GOES with the Gospel.

As Christians we share in the resurrection of Jesus Christ through our union with him by faith. This reality is a profound mystery, but it is the source of our hope and joy, that shifts our perspective from earth to the throne room of God. It movitages the mortification of our sin and results in the production of a new unified community no longer marked by race, economic class or gender but marked by Christ Alone. This Sunday we will explore the implications of our union with Christ in His resurrection while pausing to wonder at his glory and discovering our shared identity as members of the glorious resurrected body of Christ.

John brings us another message from the book of 1 Corinthians. This sermon comes from chapter 9 where Paul tells us that true Christian freedom means sacrificing personal rights, adapting to others, and living with discipline to advance the gospel for God's glory and the salvation of others.

We are by nature beings looking for validation. We were created for God, and despite his glory, we seek our validation in other people, in false ideas, and in circumstances that are apart from Christ. Like us, the church in Colossae wrestled with this reality as false teachers enticed the congregation to find validation in their relationships, in their past, in their present culture and in a life of ease withdrawn from the calling of Christ. This Sunday we will explore the Christian's validation by looking to Paul's words in Colossians 2:16-23 as we seek to discover our validation in Christ our head, who nourishes, knits and grows the church for his glory and our eternal joy.

In this conversation, Florencia and Emily Jaminet explore the challenges and joys of parenting within the Catholic faith, emphasizing the importance of cultivating a home centered on love and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. They discuss practical ways to teach children about their faith, the significance of family prayer, and the impact of modern motherhood. The conversation highlights the 12 promises of the Sacred Heart and encourages parents to embrace joy and consistency in their spiritual journey.

Why does keeping Christ's commandments matter so much? Because obedience leads to intimacy. Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who treasure His words (John 14:21). As we keep His commands, we receive His love, experience answered prayer, grow in joy, and reflect His heart to others. In loving Him this way, we find life and lasting fellowship.In this series, we've seen that true love for Christ is shown by keeping His commandments—not to earn His favor, but because we already have it. As we treasure His Word, He transforms our minds, fills our hearts, and draws us into deeper intimacy. Obedience is not a burden, but a pathway into the joy and presence of the One we love.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

John brings us another sermon from the book of 1 Corinthians. This message comes from chapter 8 where the apostle Paul is addressing the issue of eating meat that has been sacrificed to idols. But, in truth, Paul is speaking more to us about how we live out the freedom we have in Christ without doing harm to others in their vulnerable faith.

Is your church truly centered on Christ—or has something else taken His place? In this episode, we explore key signs that a church may be drifting from its biblical foundation. From personality-driven leadership to entertainment-focused services, we'll unpack subtle (and not-so-subtle) red flags that indicate when Jesus is no longer the central focus. With Scripture, honest reflection, and practical insight, we'll help you evaluate your church's spiritual health—and your own role in it. This isn't about criticism, but about calling the Church back to its true Head: Christ.

How can we keep Christ's commands if we feel so weak? We can't—at least, not in our own strength. But Jesus never asked us to. As we abide in Him, He enables us by His Spirit to walk as He walked. Through simple steps of memorizing, meditating, and setting our minds on His Word, He empowers a life of joyful obedience and deeper communion.In this series, we've seen that true love for Christ is shown by keeping His commandments—not to earn His favor, but because we already have it.

Should Christians look for Jesus in every verse of the Old Testament—or are we missing the point when we do? In this wide-ranging and practical conversation, Dr. Christopher J. H. Wright, Langham Partnership's Global Ambassador and one of the world's leading Old Testament scholars, joins Dru Johnson to explore the difference between Christocentric and Christotelic readings of Scripture. Wright reflects on common instincts Christians have—either skipping the Old Testament or trying to make every text about Jesus—and explains what we lose when we fail to respect the voice and context of the original authors. Wright argues for a more faithful reading that respects the historical drama of God's covenantal journey with Israel, leading to but not eclipsed by Christ. He explains how Luke 24 affirms that the Scriptures point to Jesus, but that doesn't mean every verse must be “about” him. Instead, Scripture forms a unified story with Jesus as its destination, not its hiding place. The conversation ends with a powerful case for why the global church, especially in the majority world, has crucial theological insights to offer—and why Western Christians should be ready to learn.
