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?

Send us a textTrade the contemporary hype for a deep concern with holiness! What if your youth ministry felt unmistakably sacred and still radically welcoming?In this episode of Youth Ministry Booster, Zac Workun sits down with Ribbin Dorado to explore a youth ministry model built on formation over frenzy, one that helps teenagers love the church they're actually growing into.Together, we unpack a fresh durable, and repeatable,  youth ministry framework designed for long-term faith formation:A two-hour Sunday night gathering that prioritizes formation over gamesA monthly rhythm that includes a Student Sabbath at home, complete with table liturgiesA mid-month Worship in the Round, where students lead and testifySacred worship spaces using incense, kneelers, and iconography to signal reverence. Elements of signs, symbols, and wonder. Memorizing creeds, spontaneous testimonies, and students “fighting for the mic” to name where they see God at workTeaching shaped by the lectionary, offering a balanced diet of Scripture and resisting cherry-pickingWe also talk about rethinking leadership in student ministry:Hospitality leaders who cultivate belongingFormation leaders who guide 30-minute Bible circlesThoughtful training, interviews, and resources that treat leaders as ministers—not just volunteersLanguage that dignifies the calling and responsibility of those shaping students' faithAt the core is the soul of the youth pastor. Ribbin challenges leaders to abide in Christ (John 15), practice the daily Examen, read Scripture beyond sermon prep, and develop a living rule of life. Teenagers don't just hear what we teach, they catch what we love. We lead from overflow, not exhaustion.Finally, we reframe success in youth ministry:Are students worshiping with the broader church?Are families practicing prayer and Scripture at home?Two years after graduation, are students rooted in a local church?Formation is a long obedience in the same direction—formed inwardly and sent outwardly.Subscribe, rate, and review on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.
