In Hebrews 10:19-25, the author encourages us to never stop meeting together as a Church Body. In this passage, "LET US" statements are used to show us how it is essential that we fellowship in order for us to flourish in our relationship with Jesus Christ, the head of HIs Body, The Church.
We know we are supposed to get baptized, but does it matter where it happens? Kaitlyn and Mike unpack what baptism actually is, why Christians do it, and why it's about more than just a personal moment. Where you're baptized might be less about the building and more about the people standing with you...but the building still matters! 0:00 - Theme Song 1:00 - Why Can You only Get Baptized in Church? 3:15 - What is Baptism? 7:51 - Is Baptism Just Symbolic? 15:43 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https://www.hiyahealth.com/CURIOUSLY to receive 50% off your first order 17:17 - Church Building and Church Body 27:48 - Summarizing the Church and Baptism 31:21 - End Credits

Too many Christians today think that they can follow Jesus without being involved in the Church Body with other believers. No matter how we have been hurt by our own Christian brothers and sisters, we must commune with one another in fellowship, living peaceably and living to build each other up.

Sunday Message: What else is “Wrong” in the Church Body – Part 2 Sunday School Teacher: Apostle Leslie Johnson
This message reminds us that revival starts in the house—with how we love one another. We're called to move from consumers to contributors, to serve and honor each other with the gifts God placed in us. Even when it's hard, agape love shows up in conflict, in carrying burdens, and in choosing honor. A church marked by sacrificial love becomes the clearest proof to the world that we are truly disciples of Jesus.

One of the most challenging things for a leader is raising up more leaders to join them, particularly within a church congregation. In this conversation, Dave and Laura sit down with Dr. John H. Wilson, author of The Nehemiah Way: Mobilize a Church Full of Leaders. In his book, Dr. John provides a powerful strategy for how to not only create greater collaboration within your church body, but also ignite new leaders to say “yes” to engaging in what God is doing beyond the next volunteer event.Listen as we talk about the specific steps of this strategy, what it looks like to prepare for raising up new leaders, how the fast way isn't always the best way, the resistance leaders may encounter in their own hearts as they allow more collaboration in their church body, and much more!Stay tuned after the episode as Dave and Laura debrief this important conversation.Purchase The Nehemiah Way on Amazon or listen on Audible.Bulk orders for church mobilization initiatives, small groups, or Bible studies are available through Gospel Centered Discipleship.Here is a FREE RESOURCE KIT if you are implementing The Nehemiah Way at your church.

Bishop Kelvin L. Cobaris shares his inspiring testimony and reveals why God has called all believers to be bridge builders in their communities. (J2479)
3 Spiritual Weapons Every Christian Needs – Moving forward in faith requires more than just belief—it takes action. In this message, we dive into three powerful spiritual weapons available to every believer: • Your position in Christ – Understanding how righteousness and spiritual armor protect and empower you. • The partnership of angels – Recognizing the role of angels in Christianity and how they support God's purpose. • The power of the Holy Spirit – Exploring how the Holy Spirit cleanses at salvation and provides power for effective ministry. Many believers struggle with spiritual stagnation—stuck due to past hurts, fears, or resistance to the Spirit's leading. But just like a windmill must turn to generate power, we must yield to the Holy Spirit to experience God's power flowing through our lives. If you're ready to break free from spiritual roadblocks and walk in greater faith and purpose, this message is for you!

Spiritual Warfare is REAL! Here's How to Protect Yourself. The battle begins the moment we accept Jesus as Savior, and the enemy strategically attacks key areas of our faith, including our understanding of God, our identity in Him, and our trust in His promises. The enemy's tactics include accusation to bring condemnation, stealing blessings and opportunities, destroying relationships, twisting truth to create deception, and even causing physical illness. But God has given us powerful spiritual armor to stand firm: Helmet of Salvation – Protects the mind from deception Breastplate of Righteousness – Guards the heart from sin Belt of Truth – Keeps us grounded in God's Word Shield of Faith – Deflects enemy attacks Sword of the Spirit – The Word of God as our weapon Feet of Peace – Provides stability in spiritual battle Victory in spiritual warfare doesn't come from human strength but from standing firm in God's power, staying rooted in prayer, and recognizing that the true battle is spiritual, not physical. ➡️ Listen now to learn how to fight spiritual battles with confidence and overcome the enemy's tactics through biblical truth!

The health and effectiveness of a church depends on the health and effectiveness of each individual believer, just as the health and vitality of your physical body is dependent on its individual parts.Romans 12:3-8 says:For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.As we consider how members of a local church body are to contribute to the health of their congregations, we will look first at humility, secondly at unity, and thirdly at responsibility.

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org
