Today, we gathered to celebrate the transforming power of God, especially as we witnessed many in our church family taking the step of baptism—a visible sign of moving from spiritual death to life. Life often delivers unexpected blows, and sometimes we find ourselves in seasons of darkness, confusion, or pain. The story of Captain Scotty Smiley, who lost his sight and faced deep spiritual and emotional darkness, reminds us that even in our most broken places, God meets us. Scotty's journey shows that we have a choice: to remain in bitterness or to invite Jesus into our pain, allowing Him to forge something new and redemptive from our suffering.We are all pressed and crushed by life's circumstances at times, much like an orange in a press. The Apostle Paul, writing to the church in Corinth, knew this firsthand. He experienced overwhelming pressure, persecution, and even despair. Yet, he teaches us that God is the source of all comfort, and that comfort is not just for us—it's meant to be shared with others. Paul's honesty about his struggles, his anxiety, and his moments of weakness is a powerful reminder that even the strongest among us are human and in need of God's strength.Paul's example also challenges us to praise God in the midst of our pressure. Praise is not a casual act; it is spiritual warfare, a declaration of trust in God's character even when circumstances are hard. Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to surrender control, to admit that things are beyond our ability, and to trust God to work in and through our trials. We are also reminded not to let tomorrow's worries rob us of being present with the people God has placed in our lives today. Our pain and comfort are not wasted; God desires to use them to encourage and comfort others.No matter how long the night feels, morning is coming. God's comfort is real, and He often brings it through the presence and encouragement of others. As we receive His comfort, we are called to pour it out into the lives of those around us, becoming vessels of hope and healing in a hurting world.Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:00] - Celebrating Baptisms and New Life[02:13] - Scotty Smiley's Story: From Darkness to Hope[05:45] - Meeting God in Brokenness[08:06] - Life After the Fire: New Vision and Purpose[10:14] - The Orange Press: Pressed but Not Destroyed[12:14] - Paul's Letter to Corinth: Comfort in Crushing Times[17:06] - Corinth's Importance and Paul's Investment[19:28] - Hard Conversations and Church Conflict[25:16] - The Power of Praise in Pressure[31:53] - Paul's Crushing Trials in Asia[35:47] - Surrendering Control and Admitting Need[38:08] - Missed God-Moments: The Cost of Worry[43:12] - Being Present with People Today[48:02] - Paul's Humanity and Our Weakness[52:48] - Waiting for Morning: Hope in the Dark[55:39] - Comfort Shared: Pouring Into Others[57:18] - Invitation to Faith and Prayer[59:22] - Closing Prayer and Blessing

David Forsyth examines the characteristics of worldly churches in James 4:1-3. These characteristics include being quarrelsome, which hinders evangelism, and being carnal, driven by frustrated desires for recognition. Forsyth also identifies prayerlessness as a key trait, either failing to seek God's wisdom or praying with wrong motives. He emphasizes the importance of peace-loving attitudes and sincere prayers for purity among church leaders, warning against self-focused ambition and encouraging believers to guard against worldliness in their congregations. ★ Support this podcast ★

Sometimes today's present-tense conflict is the residue of yesterday's past-tense issues. A track record of short-term pastorates is usually evidence of a problem with the people in the church more than it is a problem with pastors. On the other hand, some pastors are the cause of conflict.

As we sat down with Josh Klein from Free Thinking Ministries, we tackled the intricate subject of homosexuality within Christianity. Together, we navigated a conversation set against the backdrop of the sexual revolution, looking at the seismic shift in attitudes towards sexuality and the role of Christianity within it. We dared to challenge misconceptions about Christian views on sexuality, shedding light on potential misuse of Christian teachings about marriage and its implications, particularly for women.This episode takes you on a journey through the church's interactions with the LGBTQ community, and the portrayal of homosexuality as a sin that needs to be 'fixed' before coming to Christ. We acknowledged the significant role of the church in shaping identity and addressed the frequent accusations of homophobia. We scrutinized the objections to biblical views on homosexuality, delved into the Greek translations of the Old Testament, and underscored the need for empathetic discipleship for those grappling with same-sex attractions.Our discussion extends to the church's response to members of the LGBTQ community, examining the hurt caused and the need for awareness when ministering to these individuals. We also explored responses when faced with a child struggling with same-sex attraction. We surveyed objections to biblical views on homosexuality, looking at scriptures like 1 Corinthians 6, Romans 1, 1 Timothy, Leviticus, and Sodom and Gomorrah. By the end, we hope to have enlightened you on the complexities of the issue and how to address homosexuality within Christianity in a respectful, Christ-centered manner. Join us, and let's unravel this together.Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality!

On this episode, we are back addressing more of your questions! Sometimes the Scripture seems to indicate a negative quality to knowledge (e.g., “knowledge puffs up”). Is there a type of knowledge-gaining that Christians should avoid? How does knowledge compare with wisdom? How should Christians go about resolving conflict in the Church? What are valid reasons for leaving a church, and what reflects pettiness and our overabundance of modern church options? And, is all sin the same? Is sin… sin? Or does God see some sins differently?

The episode discusses the issues faced by the church in Corinth, which are still relevant today. The early church faced challenges such as divisions among its members and pressure from society to conform to traditional Greek religious practices. The video looks at the division problem, which was present in the Church of Corinth, and how it can be solved. The speaker mentions that the church in Corinth was fighting over their preference of leaders, and similarly, today, people may fight over different worship styles, Bible versions, and political preferences. The main issue of the division was caused by the Jewish people seeking power and the Gentiles seeking wisdom, which can be resolved through Christ, who is the power and wisdom of God.

Nehemiah is one of the most fascinating accounts in Israel's history. It reads like a movie in telling the historical account of a nation in political, social, and spiritual turmoil. Nehemiah is called by God to rebuild the walls and gates of Jerusalem but in doing so opposition rises up against them. Today we will look at the four steps Nehemiah uses to deal with that opposition and how those four steps apply to us today.  Text: Nehemiah 4Worship Service of Bethany Baptist Church (Wendell, NC/Raleigh, NC) Come visit us in person!

Christine talks with Rachel Welcher, a pastor's wife living in South Dakota, about navigating church hurt and church conflict. How can we as pastors' wives navigate situations that leave us dealing with anger, bitterness, cynicism, and sadness? Rachel addresses how we can know when we need to confront someone who has hurt us, how we can deal with hurt when we can't confront them, how to respond when someone tells us we've hurt them, and how we can respond when it's our husband who is hurt. LINKS FROM THE SHOWRachel and Evan's church in South Dakota // Rachel's book Talking Back to Purity Culture // Rachel's first interview on By Faith: "Unwanted Divorce"CHRISTINE'S NEW BOOK FOR PASTORS' WIVESAmazon // Barnes & Noble // Lifeway // Baker Books // Christianbook.com // Find out more about the book and download the discussion guides: howtothriveasapastorswife.comLIFEWAY'S ONLINE BIBLE STUDYInfo on Seek First the Kingdom // Register for the study with LifewayREVIEW BY FAITH ON ITUNESCONNECTConnect with RachelWebsite //  Twitter // InstagramConnect with ChristineWebsite // Facebook // Instagram // Twitter // BooksSign up for Christine's monthly newsletterMusic for By Faith was created by The Silver PagesArtwork for By Faith was created by Reed Harmon
