Share a commentTrying to become more loving, patient, or self-controlled by sheer effort is exhausting, and it usually collapses before you even get out of the driveway. We take a hard look at why that happens by returning to a simple but freeing claim: it is the fruit of the Spirit, not the fruit of us. Using Romans 7, we talk about being joined to the risen Christ so our lives can bear “fruit for God,” the kind of spiritual fruit that comes from relationship, not pressure.We walk through three big categories of fruit God grows in believers: the Savior's character (righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ), sanctified conduct that makes holiness visible to the people around us, and the Spirit's control that replaces “fruit for death” with “fruit unto life.” Then we turn to Galatians 5 to contrast the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit, and we underline a key detail: it is one fruit with many expressions, like a cluster of grapes, not separate traits we master one at a time.Along the way, we use two surprising stories to make it stick. “Mad as a hatter” becomes a picture of how long-term exposure produces long-term effects, and Helen Keller's bond with Anne Sullivan becomes a moving illustration of the closeness Jesus wants with us. If you want practical Christian spiritual growth, deeper sanctification, and a clearer understanding of abiding in Christ (John 15), press play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: 1. The Book of Revelation is Christ's special message to our generation. It is a prophecy which tells us of major events from AD96 in the apostle John's time - leading up to the coming of the Kingdom of God. [Inspiring] **An outstanding and thought-provoking introduction to the book of Revelation!** We embark on a wonderful, expositional journey to uncover the Lord's direct message for our generation. This revealing and insightful presentation explores how God has provided prophetic encouragement for every age – from Adam to the apostles – and how the book of Revelation specifically bridges the gap from John's day all the way to the second coming of Christ. We examine the fascinating structure of seals, trumpets, and vials, showing how believers throughout history have located themselves in God's unfolding purpose. If you've ever wondered whether Revelation speaks to *our* time, this video will transform your understanding. Prepare to be inspired as we discover how to be not just servants, but friends of Christ.###

If you've ever felt pressure to appear strong while carrying grief, uncertainty, disappointment, or exhaustion beneath the surface, this session offers a biblical perspective on where true strength is found. Speaker Ebenezer Asiamah explores Ephesians 6:10, “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might,” challenging common assumptions about strength and inviting us to see it through the lens of God's grace. Strength in the Lord is not a personality trait, emotional toughness, or the ability to hide weakness. It is a deep, inward steadiness rooted in our position in Christ and sustained by God's power at work in our lives.Throughout this session, we examine why Paul's use of the word “finally” in Ephesians matters, how spiritual warfare can become confusing when we are not grounded in the gospel, and why Scripture consistently points believers away from self-reliance. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1 and Romans 5, we trace the pattern of God choosing the weak, sustaining the weak, and receiving the glory so that no one can boast in themselves. We also explore the connection between spiritual strength and intimacy with God through abiding in Christ (John 15), cultivating fellowship with Him, and discovering how the joy of the Lord becomes a genuine source of resilience that grows through worship, prayer, and allowing the Word of Christ to dwell richly within us.The session also focuses on David's experience at Ziklag, a defining moment marked by loss, fear, blame, and uncertainty. Faced with circumstances that could have driven him to panic, David instead “strengthened himself in the Lord.” His response provides a practical model for believers today: pause before reacting, seek God's presence, inquire of Him for direction, and trust Him to provide both the wisdom and strength needed for the path ahead. Through David's example, we discover how God meets His people in seasons of weakness and equips them to move forward in faith.Whether you are navigating personal challenges, spiritual battles, difficult decisions, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of what it means to be strong in the Lord, this session offers biblical encouragement and practical insight for building a life anchored in God's strength rather than your own.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

How will fearful disciples fare with Jesus leaving? Jesus encouraged their troubled hearts by promising a future inheritance in heaven & the Help of the Holy Spirit. If that weren't enough, today Jesus paints an amazing picture of his abiding presence and power as they bear witness to Him. Let's be reminded of the true power source that sustains our lives in Christ!

Send us Fan MailIn these verses, speaking to the Jewish crowd around Him, the Lord speaks clearly on the purpose of His incarnation; without which no-one can enter into life,There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

You can be busy for Jesus…and still be disconnected from Jesus.In John 15, Jesus reminds us that real life isn't found in performance, pressure, or pretending — it's found by staying connected to Him.If your soul feels dry, exhausted, distracted, or empty…Jesus isn't calling you to do more. He's inviting you closer.

The Gospel of John

In this sermon from Revelation 13:11–18, we explore the “second beast” and how Satan uses ideology, propaganda, and cultural pressure to lure people into idolatry. Building on the earlier vision of the first beast (Revelation 13:1–10), this message shows how the dragon (Revelation 12:9) forms an “unholy trinity” of dragon, sea beast, and land beast—a dark parody of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; John 14:16–17).  We consider how the second beast looks “like a lamb” but speaks “like a dragon” (Revelation 13:11), echoing Jesus' warning about “wolves in sheep's clothing” (Matthew 7:15) and Satan's pattern of masquerading as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:13–15). The message unpacks how false gospels and cultural ideologies—ancient and modern—promise liberation and flourishing while leading to bondage and destruction (Jeremiah 2:11–13; Romans 1:18–25).  Key themes include:  The land beast as a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit, inspiring allegiance to idols instead of to Christ (John 16:13–14; Revelation 13:12–14; Revelation 16:13).  How ideology sustains oppressive powers—from Rome's imperial cult (Revelation 2:12–17; Revelation 2:18–29) to modern systems that redefine personhood, identity, and freedom (Genesis 1:26–28; Psalm 139:13–16; Isaiah 5:20).  The “mark of the beast” on hand and forehead (Revelation 13:16–17) as a symbol of identity and allegiance, contrasted with the seal of God on His people (Revelation 7:3–4; Revelation 14:1; Deuteronomy 6:6–8).  The universal vulnerability of “great and small, rich and poor, free and slave” (Revelation 13:16; Romans 3:9–23) and the equal need for salvation in Christ alone (Acts 4:12; John 14:6).  Wisdom and discernment in “Babylon” (Revelation 13:18; Revelation 17:9; Proverbs 1:7; James 1:5) and the call to resist syncretism—mixing the gospel with the world's ideologies (Galatians 1:6–9; 2 Corinthians 6:14–18).  The sermon closes by contrasting the beast's number, 666—symbolic of broken, finite humanity (Revelation 13:18)—with Jesus, whose name in Greek totals 888, a picture of new creation and resurrection life (2 Corinthians 5:17; Revelation 21:1–5). Through Revelation 13, we are called to:  Patient endurance under pressure (Revelation 13:10; Revelation 14:12; Hebrews 10:36)  Spirit-led wisdom in a world of deception (Ephesians 5:15–17; 1 John 4:1–6)  Undivided allegiance to the Lamb who was slain and now reigns (Revelation 5:6–14; Revelation 12:11).

Friends of the Rosary,Alleluia! Christ is Risen!On this Tuesday of the Second Week of Easter, we continue to see Jesus interacting with Nicodemus, a prominent Pharisee who believed in Christ (John 3:7b-15), highlighting themes of spiritual rebirth, faith, and salvation in their dialogue.Jesus said to Nicodemus:"No one has gone up to heavenexcept the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man.And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,so must the Son of Man be lifted up,so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."In this passage, Christ the Lord declares that He, too, must be "lifted up"—a prophecy of His crucifixion. Just as the Israelites looked to the bronze serpent and lived, we look to Christ crucified and receive eternal life. The cross becomes the instrument of our salvation.This is the ultimate paradox: the instrument of death becomes the source of life."Everyone who believes in him may have eternal life." Belief is trusting in the Lord and surrendering.It's looking to the crucified Christ and finding there our healing and our hope.When we look at the cross, do we see mere suffering, or do we see our salvation lifted high?Happy Easter!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

What do we do when God feels silent and life unfolds in ways we never expected? In this honest conversation, Jennifer Slattery and Bible teacher Courtney Reissig explore what it looks like to hold onto faith in seasons of disappointment, disillusionment, and deep uncertainty. When prayers feel unanswered and circumstances challenge what we believe about God, it’s easy to question His goodness, His presence, and His plan. Together, Jennifer and Courtney discuss how hardship can shake our expectations without undoing our faith—and how, like Peter, we can continue returning to Christ, trusting that He alone holds the words of eternal life.

You are listening to the messages from Pastor Scott Tewell who is the Lead Pastor at Rosedale Baptist Church in Rosedale, MD. Each week we provide these messages to help you grow in your faith and find encouragement through God's Word.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Jay Oldendorf from Blair, WI. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 12:1-3. Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus is accursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except in the Holy Spirit. — 1 Corinthians 12:1–3 Can something feel spiritual—and still lead you away from Jesus? The answer is yes. Not every felt spiritual experience comes from the Holy Spirit. Remember, before the Corinthians became believers in Christ, they were not irreligious. They were deeply spiritual. Passionate. Expressive. Immersed in worship. But Paul reminds them where all that felt spirituality once led them — to mute idols. Mute or dumb idols. Gods that could not speak. Gods who could not reveal truth. Gods who could not command allegiance. These gods stirred emotion but offered no revelation. They moved people, gave them goosebumps and emotional jolts, but those reactions were generated by human psychology and cultural pressure—not by the living, speaking God. Spiritual sensationalism does not always equate to spiritual truth. I have seen spiritual sensationalism, and sometimes it is unsettling because it leads to individual manifestations that drive groups into disunity rather than unity. Notice Paul's correction. He does not say, "True spirituality feels different." He says true spirituality says something: "Jesus is Lord." That confession declares allegiance. Submission. Public identification. But it also makes a further claim—that we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. This is not simply a declaration; it is an identification. It declares our regeneration. The Spirit does not merely rouse enthusiasm — he produces allegiance. He opens blind eyes (2 Corinthians 4:6). He reveals the things of God (1 Corinthians 2:10–12). He bears witness to Christ (John 15:26). This Trinitarian thread runs quietly under the chapter. The Spirit's primary work is not sensationalism based on feeling; it's the exaltation of Jesus based on fact. And this may come with some good feelings. So here is Paul's test for every spiritual experience: Is Christ being exalted? Is this experience leading me (and others) toward deeper submission to Christ — or merely toward a heightened internal sensation? Is the voice I believe I am hearing aligned with the revealed Word of God — or is it untethered from Scripture and fueled primarily by emotional intensity? This is where discernment becomes difficult. Emotional responses are real. They can be powerful. But not every powerful emotion is produced by the Holy Spirit. Some are stirred by personality, atmosphere, repetition, or group momentum. Mute idols stir emotion without anchoring it in divine authority or revealed truth. The Holy Spirit, by contrast, never operates independently of the Word he inspired. He does not contradict Scripture, bypass Scripture, or add revelation that competes with Scripture. He speaks through it, reveals its meaning, convicts by its truth, and leads us to confess and live under the lordship of Jesus. Spiritual maturity is not measured by volume, novelty, or emotional intensity. It is measured by truth-rooted allegiance to Christ. So the next time something feels spiritual, test it by the Word—and bow your heart to Christ, not the feeling. DO THIS: Pay attention to the voices shaping your spiritual life. Ask whether they consistently lead you to deeper submission to Christ — or merely stir emotional intensity. ASK THIS: How do I discern the difference between being emotionally moved and being spiritually led? What spiritual influences most shape my thinking — and do they magnify Christ? What does it practically mean for me to live as though "Jesus is Lord" this week? PRAY THIS: Holy Spirit, guard me from being impressed by what feels spiritual but is disconnected from Christ. Lead me into truth that exalts Jesus and deepens my obedience to him. Amen. PLAY THIS: "I Speak Jesus"

Jesus teaches that the Christian life flows from who He is and what He has already accomplished, not from self-effort or emotional experience.Follow us: on Instagram instagram.com/emetministriesFollow Westwood Young Adult on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/youngadultwestwood?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==my reading list:⁠ https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/74696644-christian-barrettChapters: 00:00 – We All Want Joy (Why Everyone Is Searching for Peace)03:30 – What Is Biblical Joy?
