This teaching was recorded from the gathering of The Heights Church in Denver, CO. To learn more about The Heights Church, you can go to TheHeightsDenver.com Everyone wants to live a life that flourishes but few know the pathway into that kind of life. Most people are living in spiritual, financial, relational and emotional ruin. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a vision for how we were made to live and serves as our guide on the pathway back to flourishing. As we walk the path with Jesus this Fall, we are going to find that the way into flourishing is different than most people think. In fact, in many ways it is the exact opposite of what we are told in our cultural moment. Jonathan Pennington describes it this way, “The Sermon's answer to the human-flourishing question is that true human flourishing is only available through communion with the Father God through his revealed Son, Jesus, as we are empowered by the Holy Spirit. This flourishing is only experienced through faithful, heart-deep, whole-person discipleship, following Jesus' teachings and life, which situate the disciple into God's community or kingdom.” D.A. Carson calls the Sermon on the mount “Jesus' confrontation with the world.” Each week we will look at a broken vision of flourishing and compare it with Jesus' vision in the Sermon. We will use Jesus' mnemonic device “You have heard that it was said, but I say to you” in order to compare and contrast the world's vision of flourishing with Jesus' vision of flourishing.

Is getting a tattoo a sin? Tune in as we break down this provocative question with the help of biblical scriptures and thoughtful discussions. We start by examining the different types of laws in Leviticus—civil, moral, and ceremonial—and why context matters in understanding these ancient texts.

We explore how Jesus' ultimate sacrifice shifts the application of these laws, prompting you to reflect deeply on your own beliefs.Next, we delve into how biblical teachings intersect with modern practices by looking at key scriptures like Matthew 5:17-20 and 1 Samuel 16:7. We emphasize the importance of intent and heart posture over outward appearances, encouraging you to seek wisdom and align your choices with biblical principles. Whether you're contemplating your first tattoo or questioning their spiritual implications, this episode offers a balanced perspective to help you form an informed opinion.

Pastor Greg continues our sermon series, The Anointed One, on Palm Sunday and discusses how Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit to fulfill the role of king and what that means for us.

After an illustrious 60-year tenure at Cainy Baptist Church in Knott County, Kentucky, Reverend Lawrence Baldrige bids farewell to his devoted community.

In an interview with Kentucky TV station WYMT, he reminisces about his humble beginnings, attending Alice Lloyd College on a scholarship before continuing his education at the University of Kentucky.

We have a special service ready for you today , all we need you to do is come to with a ready heart. Desires will be met The sick will be healed The oppressed will be delivered And above all the name of the lord will be glorified!

Thursday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary TimeLk 5:1-11Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid;from now on you will be catching men."When they brought their boats to the shore,they left everything and followed him.

Acts 8. Andrew Mihaleff closes our Unstoppable series by looking at the church under fire with the rise of a wider persecution. In response, the church displayed great faithfulness to the gospel and to a God who faithfully led them through. Following their example, the challenge for us is to be faithful in all things - for better or worse - to a God who is unwavering in faithfulness to us.

Acts 6-7. Joshua Lau continues our Unstoppable series looking at the testimony of Stephen. This man whose life was cut short, has two chapters devoted to his boldness while on trial. We observe a young man who is full of the Holy Spirit, by whose power he boldly spoke the gospel. We must approach humbly - both to be filled, and to be led by the Spirit - but we can know that Jesus will be with us as we represent Him boldly.

Acts 5:12-32, 40-42. Ps Hilary Williams continues our Unstoppable series looking at the latter part of Acts 5. Again, we see the apostles facing persecution, and yet again, they respond without compromise. We might be tempted to de-emphasise the gospel or holiness, as these tend to be unpopular in a hostile and pluralistic age. We must respond similarly to the disciples, and honour Christ before men.

Acts 4:36-5:11. Susan Moore continues our Acts series by considering unity and the threats that come against it. We see a budding community of believers that cared deeply for one another, and that unity being threatened by pride and dishonesty. The challenge for us in our day is be sure of what motivates our hearts - the pride of life, or the love of Christ.

Acts 4. Ps Hilary Williams continues our Unstoppable series looking at Acts 4. We find Peter and John on trial for healing in Jesus' name - and their emboldened response. We may not have the exact situation as in Acts 4, but like Peter - the opportunities to share Christ's love are before us. Even in the face of an increasingly hostile culture, we may never know just how we might impact others for Jesus, by the power of the Spirit.

Luke 24:36-49. Hitting pause on our Unstoppable series, Andrew Mihaleff takes a look at the lead up to Acts 1, from Luke 24. Jesus' final words remind us that He was always the plan, His death and resurrection was always God's way for our redemption. He calls us to respond by living our lives for Him. This mission leads His followers in every age to wait for the power of the Spirit to fulfil His plan for our lives.

Acts 3. Anoj Joseph continues our series on Acts looking at the healing of the cripple at the Gate Beautiful. As Peter was quick to point out, this was not by his doing, but by the power of the Holy Spirit, for the glory of Christ. Like the cripple, we must be open for Jesus to meet our deepest needs - and like Peter and John, be ready to be used to meet the needs of those around us.

Acts 2. Ps Hilary Williams continues our series on Acts, looking at the day of Pentecost. This day marks the turning point for God's people - His church is born! God's very presence comes upon a church which serves as a reminder that God no longer just gives His spirit to the elite or the corporate, but God allows us to know Him personally. Furthermore, knowing Him personally is the key to being transformed and enabled to be and do all that God has for us.

Acts 1. On Pentecost Sunday, Ps Hilary Williams kicks off our new series on the book of Acts. A book that poses many challenges to us, we should see Acts as assurance of how the Holy Spirit empowers His people. In Acts 1, we observe Jesus laying the groundwork for His church. One lesson we would do well to observe, is to not only enjoy encounter with Jesus, but to let that worship translate to obedience to His mission.

Matthew 11:28-29. Ps Christian Kahnt wraps up our series on Jesus' promises with this well-known passage. Religion gives us rules; self-help gives us programs - but Christ invites us to Himself, and His rest. The invitation is not for those who have it together, but for those who are needy and tired. The challenge for us is to resist the world's rhythm and need to keep up appearances, and instead, recognise our continuing need of Him.

Matthew 28:18-20. Dharsh Williams continues our series on Jesus' promises looking at His last words in Matthew's gospel. Our Saviour promises to be with us in the context of the Great Commission. As His disciples, and in us going out to reach people for His kingdom - while ever we are on mission, we can be assured we will not do this alone, but ministry always takes place hand in hand with Christ.

Luke 9:18-26. Andrew Mihaleff continues our series on the promises of Jesus. We are promised here that our lives can and will be saved through Christ. Although this has the appearance of a command, Jesus is really telling us that those who are truly His, will be obedient to the point of surrendering our will to Him. As Jesus alludes to, walking this way is only possible when we are in right relationship with our loving God.

Revelation 3:14-22. Ps Hilary Williams continues our promises series by considering Jesus' famous words to Laodicea. This church had a false sense of itself; the "Faithful and True Witness" tells them that they have compromised and become ineffective. Yet in the context of required discipline, we see the loving heart of God, inviting us to share in His love. We can be assured that God's mercy continues to be available to us when we need it most.

John 4:1-30. Anoj Joseph continues our series on Jesus' promises by looking at the promise of living water. Meeting the Samaritan woman at the well, we see that Jesus can offer something more than meeting physical thirst. We look to satiate our souls with relationships, prestige or material things. However Jesus shows us that we will only truly be satisfied by knowing Him through His grace.

Second Chances

Matthew 16: 13-20. Ps Hilary Williams continues our series on Jesus' promises by sharing this timely word. Our Saviour promises that His church would be built and prevail against the gates of Hades. This is not to say that challenges and attack will not come, but rather Jesus will preserve His church through the storms. Even death itself will not stop His church, because it is built upon the One who rose from death.

On Resurrection Sunday, Ps Hilary Williams continues our series by considering Jesus' promise of eternal life. Many faiths claim there is life beyond the grave, but Christ stand alone. It is He alone that provides a way by His own death -and His work is confirmed forever by an empty grave! We can be confident that we will likewise rise again because the same Spirit that raised Him from death is within us.

Luke 23:39-43. On Good Friday, Ps Hilary Williams continues our series looking at one of Jesus' final words. While He was goaded to come down from the cross, the fact Christ did not is the best news for us! The penitent thief, crying out to the Saviour, receives this incredible promise from Jesus. Similarly, we find ourselves deserving of wrath, but Jesus paying our price means that when we cry out in desperation, can receive the promise of eternity with Him.

This was a game changing interview on the Building Men Podcast.  I had the opportunity to speak with a truly enlightened human being - Kute Blackson.  We discuss: Breaking free from the expectations and shadows of our fathers, spirituality, being brutally honest with ourselves, dulling the pain of our existence and finding ways to truly feel aligned.  Kute shares his thoughts about masculine rights of passage, meditation, and the concepts of mortality, transcendence and spirituality.  You will want to have a notebook nearby to take notes.  A charismatic visionary and transformational teacher, Kute Blackson offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute's multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents. His unique lineage lay the foundation for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual's true gifts and greatness.Though Kute was raised all over the world, he had always dreamed of life in America. As if by kismet, he won a green card just after finishing school in London. He came to America alone just months later, with no connections or prospects. When Kute arrived in Los Angeles, all he had to his name were two suitcases and the dream of seeking out the spiritual and self-help icons who had inspired him when he was a boy.Kute quickly learned that the "outside-in" approach favored by so many in the personal development space had to become an inside-out approach. So he decided to create his own method—a process that liberates the individual and the true self at the core and then pushes those gifts outward into the universe. This helps the individual get in touch with who they really are. It is a process of breaking free—so that the individual can live, give, and share the truest expression of their self. This is what Kute calls "Liberated Living."Kute is a next generation world leader out to awaken millions to Love and to Live their inspired destiny.I highly recommend following along with Kute and learning from him as I have.Kute Blackson InstagramConnect with Kute BlacksonReinvent Live SeminarYou Are The One BookSoul Talk PodcastBuilding Men InstagramBuilding Men WebsiteBuilding Men YouTubeBuilding Men FacebookBuildingmencoach@gmail.comBook a free coaching call with Dennis If our podcast resonates with you, please consider rating, reviewing and sharing it with anyone who you believe would benefit from the message.Visit our sponsors - Finish The Race – Home of the official Building Men gearBecome Stronger Industries  - Makers of handmade steel hammers and maces - enter code “buildingmen” for 10% off your entire order

Matthew 1:1-17. As we turn the corner to Passion Week, Josh Lau shares a timely word on the coming of Jesus. Like many in this list in Matthew, we might feel like God has forgotten us. There are stories of triumph and tragedy which we might miss, and they could not see the end from the beginning. The good news for them and for us, is that our God continues to work through everyone's story for His

John 14:12-14. Ps Hilary Williams continues our series on Jesus' promises, by looking at one of Christ's final words before the cross. This promise - that we might do "greater things than these" - is often misapplied to simply be saying that Jesus is focused on the spectacular. While we should indeed expect His Holy Spirit to move, Jesus' prime objective appears to be calling us to deeper, obedient service - wherever we find ourselves.

Matthew 6:25-34. Ps Chris Smith continues our series looking at Jesus' charge not to worry. In the midst of our chaos, we can lose heart and hope. Jesus reminds us that He will look after and provide for us, because we are valuable to Him. Knowing this, our Saviour invites us to seek Him first. We can be confident that the promise to care for us was given by a God who is unfailing.

John 14:15-17. Rohan Arudselvam continues our series on the promises Jesus made. This time, we find ourselves in one of Jesus' final discourses, when He promises the Holy Spirit. The promise unfolds in other scriptures that we would be sealed, restored and gifted - all through the power of the Spirit.

Revelation 22. Anoj Joseph starts our new series by considering Jesus' promised return. The triumphs and tragedies of this life can leave us feeling this is all there is. The return of Christ and our ultimate union with Him is the antidote to being earthbound. When we see eternity in its proper focus - we will neither be beaten in our trials, nor too attached to our possessions or position.

Deuteronomy 6:10-19. Ps Hilary Williams concludes our Attitudes series by looking at guarding our hearts. This message begins with a refresher of our vision and why we value transformation. Following that, we consider that the gods of this age - power, autonomy, comfort - continue to bombard us. To guard our hearts against these passing treasures, we must continue to keep God firmly in our focus.

InPerspective Daily with Dr. Harry Reeder October 11, 2021 – A study from Matthew 28:16-20. How can the church today recover the crucial importance of complete devotion to the Word of God and prayer?

InPerspective Daily with Dr. Harry Reeder October 8, 2021 – A study from Matthew 28:16-20. How does the Great Commission, in contrast to the errors of Progressive Christianity, establish and reinforce the genuine God-given mission, message, and ministry of the church of Jesus Christ?

Join us as we discuss the parable of the loss sheep in Matthew chapter 18 and Luke chapter 15. God's love for us is everlasting and there is nothing that can separate us from His love. It can be very easy to wonder away from your relationship with Christ, but the Bible says that He will leave the ninety-nine to find the one.

Many people wonder why we need to be part of a fellowship or part of a of a church and reject organized religion but through this series we hope to establish why we need the church and why we need to be with one another and why God has set up this entity called The Church --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/donald-rhymer/support

Senior Pastor Phillip Lee Cedar Creek Church Aiken, SC

There is a rebellion going on today against the powers of darkness. God is raising up a generation that will serve Him faithfully, fearlessly, and without limits. They will carry the power of God to a world desperately seeking hope.
