Podcast appearances and mentions of christ one

In a world filled with competing voices, conflicting beliefs, and countless ideas about truth, Pastor Tommy Boring brings us back to the unchanging foundation of the Christian faith in this powerful sermon, “One Christ, One Gospel.” Preaching from 2 Corinthians, Pastor Tommy examines the Apostle Paul’s warning that believers must guard against having their minds corrupted from “the simplicity that is in Christ.” Just as the serpent deceived Eve through subtlety, the enemy still seeks to distract people from the only message that saves by promoting another gospel, another spirit, or another version of Jesus. This message emphasizes the beautiful simplicity of salvation. We are not saved by religious rituals, good works, traditions, emotions, or human effort. Salvation comes only through the finished work of Jesus Christ. There is one Savior, one Holy Spirit, and one Gospel that points to the shed blood of Christ and His power to save all who believe. Pastor Tommy also warns of the danger of adding to or subtracting from God’s truth. When people replace biblical doctrine with cultural opinions, personal preferences, or man-made requirements, they create confusion and lead others away from the true Gospel. The call of Scripture remains unchanged: repent, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and be born again. Throughout the sermon, listeners are encouraged to test every teaching against the Word of God, reject counterfeit gospels, and remain anchored in the truth that has never changed. Whether hearing the Gospel for the first time or needing a renewed confidence in biblical truth, this message points us back to the only hope for salvation. The Gospel is not complicated. Christ has done everything necessary through His death, burial, and resurrection. Our responsibility is to respond to His invitation by faith.

In this message from the In Christ series, Tyler Lynde opens Ephesians 4:1–6 and calls our church to be One on Purpose. Division is cheap and everywhere; unity, he says, is a grace gift from God that we are eager to maintain. Building from identity to purpose, Tyler urges us to “walk worthy of the calling” with humility, gentleness, patience, and enduring love, refusing to let clashing personalities, secondary doctrines, or cultural tribes outrank our eternal bond in Jesus.Tyler traces a biblical peace pattern that makes unity possible in real life. First, peace with God through the gospel (Romans 5:1): we acknowledge our need, repent, believe on the Lord Jesus, and live a transformed life by grace. Then, the peace of God that steadies us when circumstances shake (Philippians 4:7). Tyler shares how, during a hospital crisis, God's presence filled the room with a peace nurses could feel—an embodied picture of Christ's calm that guards hearts and minds. Finally, the Spirit grows the fruit of peace in us (Galatians 5:22–23), reshaping tone, timing, and responses in conflict. Without peace with God, no other peace can hold; with it, we can practice a new reflex in our homes, teams, and church family.To keep unity substantive—not sentimental—Tyler anchors us in seven essentials Paul gives: one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all. These pillars define the nonnegotiables of historic Christianity and supply a shared center when opinions multiply. Around them we practice wise freedom on non-essentials and stubborn love in all things, living the ancient wisdom: in essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity. Practically, Tyler invites us to de-escalate with grace, ask whether a concern is eternal or preferential, speak truth seasoned with kindness, take grievances to people not about them, resist caricatures and party-line proxies, confess quickly, forgive fully, and keep a seat at the table even when differences remain. He names the enemy's strategy to splinter the church and stall the gospel—and shows how the cross levels us all.Tyler closes by praying Jesus' John 17 prayer over our church, asking that our oneness would tell the truth about him to a watching world. Watch and share this message with a friend who needs hope for hard relationships, and let's keep the main things main as we walk in the bond of peace.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

THESE Changed My Life1) Spiritual Discipline / Devotion 2) Wisdom and Spirit of Understanding (Pro 9:10)3) Oneness w/in Christ : One mind, heart, faith, baptism 4) Words reflecting Christ

Spiritual growth isn’t a one-time event—it’s a daily process of surrender, humility, and learning to reflect Christ’s heart. In our daily prayer and devotional, Vivian Bricker shares how her early enthusiasm for sharing Jesus was marked by zeal, but not always by gentleness or grace. Over time, through both failure and faith, she learned that true growth comes by walking with Christ day by day. Just as the Apostle Paul declared that “to live is Christ and to die is gain,” our lives find meaning only when centered on Him. To live is Christ means surrendering our will, allowing Him to shape our attitudes, actions, and relationships. And while the process of growth can be painful—marked by pruning, trials, and refining—it also deepens our roots in faith and equips us to help others. God uses every circumstance—our mistakes, disappointments, and struggles—to grow us into the likeness of His Son. Even when we can’t see the progress, He’s working beneath the surface, producing maturity and steadfastness. Spiritual growth doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t come through striving. It comes through abiding—listening, learning, and depending on Christ moment by moment. As we do, we echo Paul’s words and find joy in knowing that our lives belong fully to Jesus. Today's Bible Reading: "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." – Philippians 1:21 Key Takeaways Spiritual growth takes time, humility, and daily dependence on Christ. Struggles and failures are opportunities for God to refine and strengthen us. “To live is Christ” means making Jesus the center and purpose of every day. True growth leads to deeper compassion and a greater heart for others. Let’s Pray Together Dear Jesus, I want to grow in You, even when growth feels slow or painful. Help me to be patient and faithful, learning to walk with You one day at a time. Teach me to echo Paul’s words—to live for You and bring glory to Your name. Strengthen my heart, renew my mind, and help me see every moment as a chance to grow closer to You. In Your name I pray, amen.

In Christ, the dividing walls between people come crashingdown. The Church is one new humanity, built together on Christ as thecornerstone.

September 21, 2025 Morning Service. Part of the How Good is the Good News? series. (Galatians 1:6-10)

Psalm 96,Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens.6 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts!9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth!10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns! Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it;12 let the field exult, and everything in it!Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy13 before the Lord, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth.He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness. You were made to worship God. That is true of every single human being that has ever existed. If you're here and you're a human, you were made for worship. Look around, most of us in this room would say that we were made for worship — so here's a question: What is worship? What is the meaning of true worship?You don't need to answer this out loud, but imagine for a minute that you're having a conversation with a friend or a co-worker — if they asked you to explain the meaning of worship, what would you say?See I wonder if worship might be the most important calling in our lives that we know the least about.So that's our topic this morning. We're gonna focus on the meaning of true worship because that's what Psalm 96 is all about. And I think we discover here at least two truths about what true worship is, and I can't wait to show you, but first let's pray again.Father in heaven, we recognize that there are countless things that could get in the way of our hearing you this morning. There are countless things inside us and outside us that would block our hearts from receiving what you have for us, and so right now, I ask that you would triumph over all those things. I ask that you break through every barrier to magnify your glory in the preaching of your word. In Jesus's name, amen.Here's the first truth we discover about true worship:1. True Worship is a vertical response to the greatness of God. In Psalm 96, there are 18 verbs spread across 12 verses and they're all about worship. Just listen to the verbs: It's … Sing, sing, singBless, tell, declareAscribe, ascribe, ascribeBring, worship, trembleSay, be glad, rejoice, Roar, exult, sing!This is most of the psalm.Now none of these verbs by themselves are true worship because you can sing, tell, and ascribe anything to anybody — and people do — so what makes this true worship, at the start, is that all of this is directed to God. And this makes sense. If it's true worship, of course, it must be to God, about God, and also because of God.This last part is really important. See, in the context of all these directives to worship God in Psalm 96, the psalmist grounds that worship in who God has revealed himself to be.We see this in verses 4–6 and in verse 13. And I want you to see it with me beginning in verse 4. Following the “For” in FourSo everybody find verse 4. This will be super easy. I want you to find the verse 4 and the word “for” — it's the very first word of the verse. Find verse 4, word “for” — if you see it, say Got it.Verses 1–3 has been sing, sing, sing, bless, tell, declare — here's why: 4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Skip to verse 12: Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy 13 before the Lord, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. Our worship of God is because of God — this means that worship is a response. Now think about this: a response is something that comes second. It doesn't happen unless something else happens first. It's like answering your phone — you answer your phone after it rings. Most people still answer their phone after it rings. But what nobody does is just pick up their phone at random and say ‘hello' — if you did that we'd be concerned. You answer your phone in response to the ring.Worship is kind of like that — it's not an original act. It's a secondary act — we can only worship God because he first has shown us who he is. Without him doing that, we'd still be in the dark. We're not smart enough or good enough to worship God on our own. True worship is vertical in direction and vertical in source. God first has to tell us who he is — and he has through his world and his word. This is God's grace to us.The Greatness of God DisplayedAnd in his word, Psalm 96, we see the revelation of his greatness.We can see the word “great” in verse 4 — the Lord, Yahweh, is great and therefore he is worthy of our praise. And then we see that his greatness is demonstrated in two facts about him. Here they are: God is Creator and God is Judge. Now where am I getting that? …God Is CreatorFor Creator, we see it in verse 5. The psalmist does a little comparative religion here. He says:“The gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.”And that's why Yahweh is greater. See, back in the day — which has been most of human history before the last 300 years — people were much more aware of how enchanted our world is. People recognized little-g gods everywhere — tribal deities, geographic deities, all of that. The world is still as spiritual today as it was then, but people saw it then. They were awake to it. And that's what makes verse 5 so amazing. The psalmist was well aware of the competing deities of his day, and he calls them all “worthless idols.” He is radically unimpressed by them. They're pathetic. They're useless. They're powerless. But, in contrast, Yahweh made the heavens.Your ‘little-g' god is a block of wood, while Yahweh is the one who spoke trees into existence. See the difference? Yahweh is greater. He's the Creator.Now, in our day, in our society, most non-Christians are not bowing down to carved statues — some do, most don't — but our world is still full of idols. There are still countless things that people honor in the place of God. And there are dark spiritual forces at work here. The big three for a long time has been money, sex, and power. These are gods in America.I had a conversation yesterday with a neighbor — a great guy — we were talking and he said he wasn't religious and I explained to him that everybody is religious. Everybody has some god, the question is who. I told him the gods of our day, for a lot of people, are money, sex, and power and he was like totally. It made sense to him. And if we're honest, none of us are oblivious to their seduction…If I could just get more money, how much better life would be! …If I could just have a romantic relationship, then I'd be satisfied …If I could just get my way all the time, everything would be great …These are the idols of our day, and like the psalmist here, we should be passionately clear that God is greater than all of them. They will not deliver what they promise. And what we'll find if we chase these things is one dead-end road after the other. But Yahweh made the heavens! Yahweh is behind and before everything that is. Yahweh is greater, he's the Creator!God Is JudgeBut not only that, Yahweh is also the Judge. That's the concluding fact in verse 13:“The Lord [Yahweh], for he comes. For he comes to judge the earth.”You ever heard that before?God is going judge this world. We learn more about this judgment in the New Testament. It's carried out by God the Son, Jesus Christ. Paul says in Acts 17:31 that God has “fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed [that's Jesus]” 2 Corinthians 5:10, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ…” One day, every human being will stand in front of Jesus and be judged by him. We don't think about this a lot, but the Day is coming. I remember the first time I met my friend Ray. He visited our church for the first time, and I was talking with him after the service, and he told me he wanted to be baptized and get plugged into the church because, he said, “Jesus is coming back to judge the world.” True story. That's what he said. He's right. God will judge the world.And that's why he's great. God is Creator and Judge. Which means he is first cause and final say. You've heard the phrase “you're about to meet your Maker.” That's a threat in action movies, but it's theologically on point. Every one of us will meet our Maker. The one who gave you life will one day call you to account for that life. The hands that formed you are the same hands that will judge you. And that's why God is great.God is great and greatly to be praised. True worship is a vertical response to the greatness of God.Here's the second truth we learn about worship …2. True worship is a horizontal declaration of the goodness of God.We see this in verses 2–3. We've already seen here that worship is the theme of Psalm 96, but notice what this worship includes. Verse 2: Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. 3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!Now the keyword here is that word “tell.” Do y'all see that in the second part of verse 2? I want you to circle that word with your eyes. This is a special word in the Old Testament. It shows up in some key places. One big one is Isaiah 52:7. You may have heard this verse before. Isaiah 52:7,How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”Now that phrase “brings good news” — that's the word translated as “tell” in Psalm 96:2. In the Greek Old Testament, it's word euangelizō. In English it means “preach the gospel.”Did you know that preaching the gospel is part of worship?According to Psalm 96, preaching the gospel (telling the good news) is part of worshiping God. Worship is a vertical response to God for his greatness and there's a horizontal declaration of his goodness.This means that true worship has a missionary character. We're singing and ascribing, and we're telling and declaring, because we want others to join us in the singing and ascribing. And if there is no telling and declaring it means that our worship is deformed. It's less than true. That's the implication here.And that's the danger of an ingrown church. I'll use that phrase “ingrown church” a lot these days because that's a real temptation for any church that's been around for a decade, and maybe especially for a church that has a nice building like this. Can't we just come here and worship, just us? Do we really need more people here? New people here? Can't we just keep it us?I want to be clear here: if our worship of God is not something we want others to be a part of, then it's broken. And I believe Jesus doesn't like it that way.True worship includes a horizontal declaration of the goodness of God. Because he is good. We have good news. We have a God who saves. He saves! I want to end like this: I want to give you three facts about God's salvation. This is what we get to declare.1. God's salvation is for all peoples.The psalm says it — we declare his glory among the nations and his marvelous works among all the peoples! We call all the families of the peoples to ascribe to God the glory due his name.This is amazing. It means that God is not just for one particular tribe, or one kind of people. He truly is for everyone from everywhere. To make it personal, think about your own life, your own story. There's nothing about your person or nothing about your past that excludes you from God. Listen: God can save you wherever you're from and whatever you've done — amen? If you're not moved by that it's because either you didn't hear what I just said or you're self-righteous.Seriously — the most literal Pharisaical thing someone could do is to despise or ignore the universal reach of God's salvation. Everybody gets to be saved if they would just come home. Come home to the love of God! That invitation goes to everyone. God's salvation is for all peoples.2. God's salvation is from his wrath. To be “saved” is a great Bible word, but it doesn't make sense to a lot of people. If we were to ask someone if they're saved, the first thing they might say is, “Saved from what?”This is where Psalm 96 is really helpful. The perspective here keeps in view the coming judgment of God. Again, remember Jesus is coming, as Paul says in 2 Thessalonians 1:8, Jesus is coming “with his mighty angels in flaming fire [to inflict] vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.”What does it mean to obey the gospel? That's a phrase used in the New Testament. It has to do with the reign of God. That's part of what makes the good news good. It's that God reigns. We heard that in Isaiah 52:7; we see it in Psalm 96:10; and it was also how the apostles preached. The apostles didn't just say, “Your sins can be forgiven” — they said, “Jesus is Lord of all” (see Acts 10:36). They proclaimed that Jesus is risen from the dead and reigning. They preached the supremacy of Christ as good news because it is — and that is one way to divide the world. When we read in Psalm 96:10, “Say among the nations, ‘Yahweh reigns!”' — there are two kinds of people in the world. There are those who love the reign of God and those who hate the reign of God. No middle ground. And if you hate the reign of God, too bad, because it's coming anyway. And if you hate the reign of the King when the King comes, you will face the wrath of the King. That makes sense, right?Well, the good news is that you can be saved from that wrath if you bow to the King. That is the proclamation! That's what the herald says:Hear ye! Hear ye! The King is coming! He has conquered sin and death, and his victory is on the way! Receive it now while you can!And I mean that. In this room right now, I'm inviting you … Stop hating the reign of God. Bow to Jesus Christ and believe. Receive his salvation. Receive the goodness of his rule.3. God's salvation is awaiting final consummation. The salvation of God that we receive now is real. We receive it by faith in Jesus and it's effective. We become new creatures; we're filled with the Holy Spirit; our lives are changed. But also, it's a salvation not yet complete. There's a grand finale of our salvation that we're still waiting for at the return of Jesus.The apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 3 that as Christians, “our citizenship is in heaven, and from it [from heaven] we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body…”And the theological word for this future transformation is consummation. It's the final and complete fulfillment of our salvation. When Jesus returns, every detail of brokenness will be restored and we will be made perfectly like him. The New Testament talks about this hope in several places, but Romans Chapter 8 is the go-to.Paul says in Romans 8:18 that we're waiting for a future glory that will be revealed to us … and then he says something that we didn't see coming. He says that all of creation is also waiting for our future glory. Romans 8:19, “the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.” The whole creation will experience the freedom of the glory of the children of God, and so the whole creation is groaning (or sighing) for that future day.Can you imagine that?Back in July, my family and I spent a week at the beach in North Carolina, and one of my favorite things to do at the beach is get up early and watch the sunrise. You're watching the giant orange ball in the sky right here, and then the waves are crashing here, and it's music. It's beautiful. And you can hear the longing in it, if you use your imagination. To think that all of us together are waiting for a future day. The sun and the sea, the seagulls and the sky — we're all waiting for something. So we can say:11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; 12 let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy 13 before the Lord, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth.The day is coming. And we worship now in that hope.Two truths about worship:True worship is a vertical response to the greatness of God. True worship is a horizontal declaration of the goodness of God. And we come to the Table to do both. The TableAt this Table, we give thanks to Jesus for his death and we proclaim his death until he comes. Vertical response and horizontal declaration. It goes like this:If you're a Christian, if you have trusted in Jesus Christ to save you, let's eat and drink and give him thanks.If you're here and you're not yet a Christian, we proclaim him to you: Jesus is the Lord of all and he came to save you — put your faith in him. Come home.

This is the Unchanging Word.2 John speaks to us of love for one another.There are those who do not abide in the doctrine of Christ and do not have God but he who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. Isn't it good to know that God has given us the Bible as the divine revelation of who He is through the Lord Jesus Christ? Let's continue with Dr. Mitchell in 2 John verse 5.

This week, we hear from John Robinson on the one message the church unites around which is the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Reformation Sunday sermon preached at One Church with 3 congregations combined for the annual remembrance. This sermon focused on the atoning death of Jesus Christ once for all. People are justified, forgiven and accepted by God because Jesus died on their behalf and rose from the dead for our justification. The cross of Jesus where he shed his holy blood was necessary and results in removal of guilt, satisfaction of God's justice, and reconciliation through personal faith by grace in the Lord Jesus the Christ. In the great exchange of redemption Jesus took the sin of his people and bore the punishment due and the Father gives them the righteousness of the Son. His death is finished the atonement complete and those who believe on him have eternal life.

Joel Ballew has moved his family to Colombia to launch a co-working business. It's a world class facility for entrepreneurs and remote workers to meet up, to do their jobs, and to help each other succeed. And, in the midst of these interactions and “happy collisions,” Joel hopes that many will meet Jesus. Co-working businesses represent a growing industry and a wonderful means to build relationships with and serve those we desire to see enter God's Kingdom.

As we prepare for the birth of Christ at Christmas, we long and pray for the peace which he alone can give, especially in our world at this turbulent time. In addition, we pray for that peace within our own lives. This gift will be ours when: first, we slow down and do not allow the busyness of this season to overwhelm us; second, when we find time for prayer each day, including silence so we can hear the Lord speaking to our heart; third, making sure our priorities are in order with a proper balance of work and recreation in our life; and finally, to be reconciled with God, family, and friends. With these steps, we will know the peace of Christ and be prepared for that joyous day!

Today I'm blessed to talk to a beautiful friend, sister in Christ and years-long client, Amie Stepkoski whose story and entrepreneurial journey will surely inspire you. Amie is the Owner of two businesses: Two Little Birds – a real estate investment company – and A Step Above Designs – a real estate staging business. She's also a wife and mom to 2 beautiful daughters.  Interestingly, Amie and I met just days before the pandemic shut down at a business retreat I was co-hosting.  Shortly thereafter Amie hired me to help her grow her staging business.  Earlier this year, we re-connected and she joined my Joyful 6 Figures Accelerator to build her newly-launched real estate investment business. She made her investment back within weeks! Listen as we discuss: - the clear path God created throughout her entrepreneurial journey - Amie's unique vision for starting her real estate investment company (she is truly a servant leader with a heart of gold) - what makes her business an absolute category of one in her local marketplace - the challenges in the early years as an entrepreneur and how she overcame them - the one marketing strategy that allowed her to grow both businesses quickly (which feeling 100% authentic) - how her faith in Christ is an integral part of everything she does (and why her investment company involves her entire family) -her advice to other Christian women business owners -Amie's unique 'focus on people, not properties' approach to her investment business -advice to those interested in starting their own real estate investment business PLUS Amie talks about her experience working with me, including her biggest breakthroughs, the most impactful aspect of the Accelerator for her and how the work we do together has impacted her daughters (...alllll glory and praise to Jesus the Christ) One of my favorite quotes of Amie's: “If I want this bad enough, I'm willing to do the hard thing". #successfulentrepreneurmantra   Another quote: "It's fun being a disruptor!"

A good servant will respond to the words of the one he/she chooses to serve. There is no greater One we can serve than Christ. What must one do in serving Christ?

We conclude our sermon series throughout Galatians called Freedom in Christ by studying chapter 6. We learn that to experience Holy Spirit power, we must live lives constantly pointing to the gospel, and when we try to seek glory from anything but the gift of the gospel, we will stay empty. Walking in the spirit requires healthy and loving responsibilities and relationships within the body of Christ. Through studying the scripture, we see that church, specifically here, Burnt Hickory is not just an event to attend, it's a family to belong to, because as Christ followers, we do not have to carry our burdens alone. The ministry of burden bearing is for all believers. Do you seek glory from anything other than the gift of the gospel? Are you bearing the burdens of your fellow believers? Do you have a church to belong to that helps you bear those burdens and build relationships? We'd love to answer any questions you've got and take time to pray with you, so reach out today! As always, you can take the next step by visiting burnthikcory.com/next.

Message from Rev. Dr. John Yates III on September 10, 2023

Buckle up, friends. You're in for a treat today. My guest is Jamie Winship, who has spent decades bringing peaceful solutions to some of the world's highest conflict areas. Jamie is the co-founder of Identity Exchange and Identity Method, a training and consulting company, committed to significantly enhancing the resiliency level of people by teaching them the transformative power of living fearlessly in their true identity. After a distinguished career in law enforcement in the metro Washington, D.C. area, Jamie had a unique opportunity to bring his identity-centric approach of transformation to the field of education. 3:37 – Jamie 101 Jamie was born in Washington, D.C. and dreamed of being a police officer. He went to college and then worked in a police department, which he loved. Jamie worked overseas and came back to the U.S. in 2016. He wanted to help U.S. cities deal with gangs. 24:19 – The mind of Christ One of the great incentives of being in the Kingdom of knowing Christ is that you have the mind of Christ and you're filled with the spirit of the living God. That doesn't make you morally better. It means you think at a different level. Evil doesn't require imagination. Evil just imitates. 43:11 – What are you afraid of? Jamie often asks people what the main negative emotion they're dealing with is. Fear is the most common response he hears. Ask yourself: What are you most afraid of? 56:11 – Christian parents There's no such thing as a Christian parent. Your gift to the world is who you are. Two gifts parents can give children is to help them hear from God and know who they are. 1:04:21 – An angel standing guard Jamie tells a memorable story about an angel standing guard over him and his coworkers during a tense time. FEATURED QUOTES The truth sets people free. It doesn't accuse them. One of the great incentives of being in the Kingdom of knowing Christ is that you have the mind of Christ and you're filled with the spirit of the living God. Evil doesn't require imagination. Evil just imitates. Most people who are praying are praying from a false identity. We're taught to introduce ourselves in ways that cause division. Once you get your identity from God and God alone, you're unstoppable. https://www.identityexchange.com/jamiewinship

When we pray for an hour by ourselves, we're not actually alone. In Gethsemane, Jesus asked the disciples to pray with Him. They fell asleep. In this message, we consider anew how to face the struggles we have today in praying with Christ. How can we lay ahold of the privilege of prayer before the throne of grace?

If it's true that our schedules reflect our priorities, how important is God to us? In the garden of Gethsemane, the disciple's fell asleep, causing the Savior to ask, “Could you not pray with Me for one hour?” In this message, we ponder four questions to guide us in praying with Christ for an hour of time. Let's pray fervently, not wasting the time we have. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/172/29
