In a world full of distractions, pressures, and spiritual noise, it's easy to find ourselves drifting, not out of rebellion, but in neglect. One day we wake up and realize we're not as close to God as we used to be.In Hebrews 2:1–4, we unpack the subtle but serious danger of spiritual drift. Through it you'll learn:✅ Why drifting from God often happens slowly and silently✅ How to recognize warning signs in your walk with Christ✅ What it means to “pay closer attention” to the gospel✅ How to re-anchor your soul in the truth of Jesus✅ Why your testimony still matters todayWhether you've drifted a little or feel far from where you once were, this message is for you. The Savior still calls. The anchor still holds. It's time to come back.

Join us for the final week of our powerful series, Am I Enough?, where we dive into the truth of our identity in Christ. This episode unpacks Galatians 2:20-21, revealing that our worth and value do not come from our own efforts but from the finished work of Jesus. We'll explore the transformative power of awakening to who we truly are—co-crucified, co-alive, and fully embraced in God's grace. Are you still striving for identity through performance, approval, or self-effort? It's time for a defining moment—a breakthrough where you step into the freedom of knowing you are enough. Tune in as we discuss:

Main Idea: Listen to Christ because He is the glory-light and in Him God has spoken.1. Glory-light on the face of Moses: What did it mean?2. Glory-light in the face of Christ: What does it mean? How do we see it?

I dive into a question that resonates deeply within the body of Christ: What is the number one thing we need from God right now? For many of us, it's not just about financial provision but rather seeking answers, direction, clarity, or wisdom on the right path to take. If you're feeling lost, without a sense of direction, purpose, or a clear plan, this message is for you. Join me tonight as I speak to those of you who are uncertain about what to do or which way to go, sharing insights and encouragement as God leads. #clarity #direction

The Presence of Christ: What would be the best thing for you? How about for the people you love? To have the spiritual power that comes from a growing knowledge and experience of the love of Christ. To be rooted and established in his love. And that his presence would be real to you in your inner being. Recorded on Jun 2, 2024, on Ephesians 3:14-21 by Pastor David Parks. Our series, Ephesians: The Gospel in Life, serves as an epilogue to Finding Life in Jesus' Name from John's gospel. The Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians reveals much about how the life found by faith in Jesus actually works. This series will touch on themes of grace, identity, purpose, family, the church, spiritual warfare, and more. If you're considering the life of Jesus or if you're ready to follow him today, this series is for you. Sermon Transcript For a little over a month now, we've been working through Paul's letter to the Ephesians in a sermon series called The Gospel in Life. And today, as we finish chapter 3, we're going to consider the second prayer of Paul in this letter, which is really one of the most expansive and powerful prayers in all of the Scriptures. The reason it's so powerful is because Paul prays for what would be the absolute best thing for his friends there in Ephesus. Have you ever wondered what would be the best thing for you? Or what would be the best thing for someone you love? A parent or spouse or child or friend? A few years ago, I found myself thinking about that question a lot. We'd just moved our oldest son, Tyler, into his dorm room for his freshmen year at college. And Holly and I drove home with a bunch of empty bins in the back and a lot of feelings swirling around in our hearts — healthy pride in who he was and in his accomplishments, fears of what he might encounter, and everything in between. We realized that our relationship and our role as parents had seemingly changed overnight. Holly and I found ourselves feeling driven to pray for Tyler a lot that year. But what should we have prayed for? Should we have prayed that God would protect our son from negative influences? Should we have prayed that God would help him get good grades? or make friends? or that he would just be happy? What would be the best thing for him? What would be the best thing to ask God for? Well, today, we're going to discover what would be the very best thing for all of us. Grab your Bibles/apps and open to Eph 3:14. Ephesians 3:14–17a (NIV), “14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” Paul starts this section with “For this reason…” which is the same way he started the text we looked at last week. It almost seems as if Paul interrupted the flow of his letter with an aside about his story and his suffering. But after considering how Paul's story was changed in every way by the story of who God is and what God has done and is doing through his Son and Spirit — in other words, the story of the gospel — it doesn't seem like that much of a tangent. In fact, his story as a Jewish man who became a Christian and then was commissioned by Jesus to be his apostle to the Gentiles fits the great theme of this letter of our union with Christ and, therefore, our unity with one another in him, Jew and Gentile. But after a brief stop in connecting his story to this theme of unity, Paul comes back to where he left off in Chapter 2 with another prayer. But what does he pray for? He says that he's kneeling before God the Father in heaven, “from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.” Now, this doesn't translate well into English, but the Greek word for Father is the root of the word for family. So, Paul starts this prayer with a reminder of who he is praying to.

We are HIS Workmanship created in Christ - What a statement of absolute mercy! We look at this and much more in this lesson. Keep in mind this one statement that will be the binding concept of this episode: The source and origination of THE GOOD is GOD – it descends to US it does not EVER ASCEND FROM US. #grace #inchrist #giftofGod References: Ephesians 2:8-13 1 Corinthians 4:7-8 Exodus 21:1-6 James 1:4-18 Psalms 102:18-22 Isaiah 60 Romans 9:20-24 Colossians 3:3-11 Galatians 5:16-25 Romans 6:4 Colossians 2:11       thesatisfiedgod.com Subscribe to our YouTube page  - The Satisfied God Podcast YouTube   Please like and follow our Facebook page - www.facebook.com/thesatisfiedgodpodcast Thanks for all your support in every way.

In Matthew 26, Jesus sat down. His betrayer joined Him.--In today's study, Jesus sat down for what we call the 'Last Supper,' with His betrayer seated just a few feet away. Our Lord had come to celebrate the Passover with His disciples, knowing this would be their last opportunity to do so. But He also knew the heart -and pending actions- of a man named Judas Iscariot.---In today's study, we'll consider the high stakes of Matthew 26.--Questions That We'll Answer---A- Why did Judas betray Christ-- What was his purpose and reward----B- What doctrines did Jesus emphasize during the 'Last Supper--'--C- What was about to happen next-- What did Jesus expect to occur-----www.fpcgulfport.org

Is Jonah a -type- of Christ-- What is the proper way to interpret Old Testament narratives like Jonah in light of the New Testament-- Jesus makes a famous reference to Jonah in Matt. 12-38-41, opening up a lot of debate as to how the narrative of Jonah is to be interpreted in light of Christ. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse walks us through Christ's reference to Jonah, showing us the context in which the reference was made, and explaining basic principles of Bible interpretation. Discover how interpreting the Bible consistently is so important to properly understanding it, and how not interpreting consistently can lead to confusion and error.

Christ has died.Christ is risen.Christ will come again.All my life, I have received mockery for my belief in Jesus. I understand why some conservative Christians have a chip on their shoulders over their belief in Christ. It is important to always remind my siblings, sisters, and brothers across the aisle that we should respond to this treatment with the grace, compassion, and humility of Jesus.What we have to remember is the frame Meister Eckhart gave us to understand our relationship with the life of Christ:What good is it to me that Mary gave birth to the son of God fourteen hundred years ago, and I do not also give birth to the Son of God in my time and in my culture? We are all meant to be mothers of God. God is always needing to be born.So let's ask the question we need to answer every year:What is the Ascension happening today?It is easy to see the face of the crucified Christ in the refugees and those killed by the police and mass shooters. We strive for resurrection in our work for justice, healing, equality, and reconciliation, but what is the ascension for today? How can we experience the ascension of Christ today?When we consider the life of Christ through the lens of the chakras, it becomes evident that the virgin birth is symbolic of the awakening of the heart chakra, Anahata. This chakra represents the energy center that embodies love, compassion, and selflessness. It is considered the center of our emotional and spiritual being, where we learn to connect with others, experience empathy, and cultivate a sense of oneness with the universe. Christ's virgin birth is a representation of the purity and unconditional love that we all have the potential to embody when we awaken our heart chakra.We live this power through embodying compassion and grace in all our actions and interactions with others. We strive not to react, but to act from our heart. This is how we bring this purity of action to our life.Similarly, the ascension of Christ represents the journey from the sixth chakra, Ajna, to the seventh chakra, Sahasrara. Ajna is often referred to as the third eye chakra, and it represents our ability to perceive reality beyond what is visible. It is associated with intuition, spiritual insight, and enlightenment. Sahasrara, on the other hand, represents the highest state of consciousness, where we move beyond all discursive language and experience the non-dual reality of the cosmos and God.In the ascension of Christ, we see the journey from the limited perception of the material world to the infinite, all-encompassing reality of God. This is the ultimate goal of spiritual evolution, where we transcend our ego and experience the oneness of the universe. Christ's ascension represents the attainment of this state of consciousness and serves as a reminder of the potential that exists within each of us to reach this level of spiritual awareness. By understanding the connection between the chakras and the life of Christ, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the transformative power of spiritual practice and the universal nature of spiritual awakening.Again, to quote Meister Eckhart:The Ultimate and Highest leave taking is leaving God for GOD, leaving your notion of God for an Experience of That which transcends all notions.The Ascension is the Breaking of IdolsWe live in the power of the Ascension when we realize Idols are not statues made of wood and stone. An idol is any image, even if we make it from words and beliefs, that distracts us from the reality of God as the one in whom we live, move, and have our being.Jesus is our mediator, our high priest. Even though many of us believe that Jesus is God, we cannot allow Jesus or Holy Spirit, or even the Father, to become an idol that distracts us from the truth that God is so much more than any of us can ever express in words.In the act of ascending, Jesus rises into the air and disappears in the clouds because God is present in nature, in the earth, and in all of us. Through faith, we ascend with Jesus as the body of Christ and let go of our preconceived notions and melt into the vibrant living world to co-create the world to come with God.Ascending to OnenessWe arise with Christ,with the angels,with the hopes and prayers of billions.We rise into the sky,into the cloud of witness,into the great cloud of unknowing.We fly into wisdom,on the wings of grace,on the winds of Spirit.Into the heart of the cosmos from which compassion allures us to awe, to release, to create, and to transform the broken to the whole, pain to relief, the old to the new, suffering to justice.Hand in hand with Christ, we twirl in the spiral dance of creation from path to path, lifting up our hearts, minds, and spirits as we uplift the downtrodden, the oppressed, and the suffering.May we heal the world and restore the world to come into the beloved community longing to be born.

This week on the Straight Truth Podcast, Dr. Josh Philpot shares some of the intense wrangling and controversial debates he sees happening within Christian circles. These things being talked about and sometimes hotly argued about are highly magnified by social media, the comment sections, and all the rest. Understanding that all believers, even within a solid local church, will not agree about everything, he asks Dr. Richard Caldwell how can Christians find a way through some of this. Can Christians disagree so strenuously and not cause disunity that brings harm to the body of Christ-- What might be the best approach to having some of these discussions that need to be had-- Can some of this lead us to dis-fellowshipping with other believers--

Daily Devotional Sunday "Little Easter" Every Sunday in Lent is considered a "little Easter," a time to celebrate the Lord's resurrection and spend time praising God. So, in keeping with this, our Sunday devotionals will be Easter hymns or songs. Take a moment to sing these with your family or by yourself. If you like, listen to the song on your computer or phone. But be sure to spend time rejoicing and praising God for our new life in Jesus Christ. Today's song is newer than some of the others but one of my very favorite praise songs. Reflect on the powerful words.

Serving with Christ- What can the servant of God expect to experience? It is certainly not a glamorous calling. In fact, you can expect to face hardship in your service to God. Serving Christ means separation from the world, but not isolation.

What is the secret to living the Christian life? What will help you fight sin? What is the key to helping us have the right relationships in our marriages, families, and within and without the church? The answer is Pauls truth statement "If then you have been raised with Christ…" What does it mean to be raised with Christ?

Throughout the letter to the Colossians, Paul is stating the most radical thing that could happen to a human being. He challenges our modern, materialistic, scientific conditioning with the claims of Christ and his rescue plan for the cosmos. Just a few statements to provide context. 1:13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:13-14). 1:16 For by him [Christ] all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. (1:16-20). What could read like an epic fantasy, through faith becomes the power of God unto salvation. The Gospel of Jesus Christ addresses our deepest needs and longings and speaks to the disorder of creation and our passions, the problem of evil in the world, and the mystery of origins. And Paul is saying to the church at Colossae and to us this morning that what is true of Christ IS true of us. HOW IS THIS SO? If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Fellow risen ones, last week we looked back in 2:11-12 to understand Paul's bold statement, since you have been raised with Christ… What resurrection is he referring to? 2:11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. What is true of him is true of us. “You may not feel like it. Learning to believe what doesn't at the moment feel true is an essential part of being a Christian… This is what the life of faith is all about.” N.T. Wright, Paul, for Everyone, the Prison Letters, p. 175.

Today we turn our gaze toward the future. One day you and I will leave this earth. When we do, most likely, the letter of our lives will be fully written and handed to our family and friends to live with for the rest of their lives. We aren't sending a letter back to ourselves but forward to our family. The question is, what will be written there? Will we seed hope in them? Will they draw joy from the choices in our lives, eternal and heavenly joy? Or will we leave them with doubt and fear?We can't go back into our past to change what has happened, we can only do what is right now. The same is true for what will come in our future and how our legacy will live on after us. We will have zero control then. But we can do the right thing today, and tomorrow, and increasingly to the end.I want to share three phone calls I have received in my life. Three times I had to store away my thoughts of someone who had passed. I still hold within me those same feelings. But what did they leave me with? What was sealed forever in the hearts of the people they knew and loved? The results represent options for you. I hope you will listen carefully and decide what kind of phone call you want your loved ones to receive when you are one.- May 19th 1992 - The passing of my grandmother- November 15th 1996 - The passing my best friend's mom- July 14th 2008 - The passing of a sweet sister in Christ- What will your passing represent in terms of: outside of Christ, once in Christ, or NOW in Christ?

The Resurrection of Christ: What are its key components and the main criticisms against it? Since the Resurrection is critical to the Christian faith, why didn't the Lord give us something "obvious" or "provable" for this most important of all events? We will also return to some of our "Random Questions."

Welcome to April! We are excited to introduce our new topic for the month! This month we will be discussing the topic of cross generational Christianity and hearing from different guests from different age groups on how we can value the age diversity in the Church. This week we have invited a set of brothers to the BROCO family. Jared and Jeffrey Wells interview Isaac and Isaiah Springer, a pari of brothers from the Tulsa, OK area. These two brothers are both around 20 years old and have been involved in the Lord's work for a few years now. One is newly married, the other newly engaged. Isaac is one of the hosts of the King's Advocate Podcast, which we love! Look them up on Youtube and Facebook. In this episode, we discuss:
