The Torah's sacrificial system could never bring people close to God. Only Yeshua's perfect, once-for-all sacrifice opens a new and living way into His presence with full assurance of faith. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series on the book of Hebrews, Kevin reveals how the perfect priesthood of Yeshua makes it possible for us to be close to God.

This week on Primetime Gamechangers, we believe it's time to break the mold and reveal the truth of who Jesus really is. Get ready to put your personal narrative aside as we take Jesus out of the cultural box that the Church has put Him in. The truth is that Jesus was a bold, convicting, and confrontational leader during His time on Earth, and we must crucify our flesh to mirror Him and His ministry.

In this palm Sunday message, Pastor Armando focuses on authentic Christian faith, addressing the contrast between superficial belief and a truly transformative relationship with Jesus Christ. Main Scripture: Romans 7:15-25; Matthew 26:20-30; Luke 6 43-49; John 20 24-29Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

Bill English of Bible and Business and On Path Coaching addresses our political divide and how our polarized politics often leads to imputing wrong beliefs and motives to those you disagree with.  He also talks about in business and in life, we need to show mercy in abundance.  Kristen LeValley, author of "Growing Up Saved," talked about being raised in Christian surroundings, but due to her disability she felt misunderstood and it almost drove a wedge between her and God.  She talks about staying close to God in spite of the tensions and confusion.  The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio are made possible by your support.

Do you have known since you harbor or allow to stay in your heart? That very sin keeps a wall up in your heart from transparency, honesty, and nearness to God. Confess it as sin to Him. Draw near to Him and He responds with nearness to you.

Have you ever found a place where you felt so safe and happy that you never wanted to leave? That place exists in the glorious presence of God. But how can a people who fall short enter the presence of a God who is perfectly Holy?In Part three of "Into His Presence," we look at the ordination of Aaron and the tragedy of Nadab and Abihu to see why human priests always fall short. Discover how Jesus, our Indestructible High Priest, provides the Purity, Perfection, and Power we need to dwell with God forever.

The joy of studying scripture of those who walked with God and their characteristics is worthy to embrace and the daily place of being close to God should mean more than anything.

Have you ever wondered why God feels distant—even when you believe, pray, and want to grow spiritually? In this message, we kick off a new series on Spiritual Disciplines by addressing a tension many Christians quietly wrestle with: the gap between discipline and desire. Is closeness with God about trying harder… or something deeper? Using Scripture, personal stories, and insights from Celebration of Discipline by Richard J. Foster, this sermon explores: Why discipline often feels heavy or legalistic The difference between outer discipline and inner disciplineHow spiritual habits are meant to form relationship, not replace itWhy Bible study is the foundation for spiritual growthHow God uses discipline to lead us toward peace, freedom, and transformation Whether you're new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message will help you reframe discipline—not as obligation, but as a pathway to intimacy with God.

It’s possible to be around God, attend church, and know the language of faith—yet still be far from Him. In this stand-alone message, we’re challenged with a sobering truth found throughout Scripture: proximity to God does not equal intimacy with God. Drawing from Isaiah, Jesus’ teachings, and the call to genuine repentance, this message confronts empty religion and invites us into real transformation. God isn’t looking for surface-level faith or words without obedience. He’s inviting us to step into the light, receive His grace, and respond with surrender. No matter how far you feel, the invitation still stands: “Come now, let’s settle this.”

How You Can Stay Close to God in Busy Seasons (Without Adding More to Your Plate) Do you ever feel like your life is so full that your faith is getting pushed to the side? As a busy working mom, it's easy to believe that staying close to God requires more time, more quiet, and more consistency than you actually have. In today's episode, I'm encouraging you with this truth: you can stay close to God in busy seasons — even when your schedule feels overwhelming and your days are packed. Spiritual growth doesn't have to depend on perfect routines or long devotional time. Instead, faith can take root through simple, sustainable rhythms that fit into your real life. You'll learn how to connect with God throughout your day through small, meaningful moments—without adding more to your plate or feeling like you're falling behind spiritually. If you've been craving peace, encouragement, and a more grace-filled approach to growing in faith as a working mom, this episode is for you. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why faith doesn't require an “ideal schedule” to grow How to release all-or-nothing thinking about spiritual growth Simple daily rhythms that help you stay close to God in busy seasons How to invite God into transitions throughout your day Why small, faithful moments matter more than spiritual perfection Encouragement for overwhelmed working moms who want to grow in faith Simple Faith Rhythms Mentioned: A whispered prayer during carpool or before walking into work Returning to the same Bible verse when stress rises A quick surrender moment: “Lord, I need Your wisdom right now” Inviting God into transitions (work → home, errands → family time) Letting go of comparison and embracing your season Encouragement for the Working Mom Who Feels Overwhelmed: God is not waiting for you to get it all together before He meets with you. He is present with you in the ordinary moments, the rushed moments, and the in-between spaces. You don't need more time to grow in faith—you just need small moments of turning your heart toward Him. Next Step (If You Want Support Building These Rhythms): If you want help creating sustainable rhythms, priorities, and boundaries as a working mom, check out my self-led course Faithfully Balanced. It's designed to help you live with more peace, clarity, and confidence—without burnout.  

You can't grow close to God without prayer—just as you can't grow close to your spouse without conversation—so staying spiritually awake means keeping watch with Him daily.

In a distracted world, many believers feel distant from God — but His invitation still stands. In this powerful sermon, we explore what it truly means to draw near to God through repentance, obedience, and intentional pursuit. Discover how spiritual closeness isn't about perfection, but position — and how when you take one step toward God, He faithfully draws closer to you.“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8If you're hungry for deeper intimacy with God, this message is for you.

Lorenzo Cum -- Close to God

Send us a textIn this episode, Pastor Ed continues our series on fasting, by giving us 7 things to focus on. Romans 12:1-21 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.Matthew 6:3333 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.Proverbs 3:5-65 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.John 17:1717 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truthJohn 14:66 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.John 8:3232 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”John 15:44 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.2 Corinthians 1:3-43 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any [a]trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.Psalms 119:105105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.Hebrews 4:1616 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.Proverbs 3:25-2625 Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;26 For the Lord will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught.Colossians 2:8-108 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all [c]principality and power.Romans 8:38-3938 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What does it mean to experience God as lived reality? Suri Weingot reframes spirituality not as something hidden or elite, but as something pulsing through every blade of grass, every Hebrew letter, and every human relationship.Suri Weingot is a senior educator in TMM high school and gives classes and lectures to women across the community. She runs a community mentoring program that enables women and teens to contribute their time and heart by impacting the lives of the next generation.At its heart, this is a conversation about love—of Torah, of life, and of every person. Suri joins us to answer 18 questions on Jewish mysticism, including the closeness of redemption, godliness, and education. Here are our questions: What is Jewish mysticism?How were you introduced to Jewish mysticism?In an ideal world, would all Jews be mystics?What do you think of when you think of God?What is the purpose of the Jewish people?How does prayer work?What is the goal of Torah study?Does Jewish mysticism view men and women the same?Should Judaism be hard or easy?Why did God create the world? Can humans do something that is against God's will?What do you think of when you think about Moshiach?Is the State of Israel part of the final redemption?What is the greatest challenge facing the world today?How has modernity changed Jewish mysticism?What differentiates Jewish mysticism from the mysticism of other religions? Does one need to be religious to study Jewish mysticism?Can mysticism be dangerous?How has Jewish mysticism affected your relationships with yourself and with others?What is a Jewish teaching that you always take with you?

There are more people struggling than you think, and I want you to know you are not alone. Everyone experiences moments where they don't "feel" God. Maybe this needs to be talked about more. The enemy will swoop in and make you think God isn't there for you, or that he abandoned you. But, this isn't true. You HAVE to listen to this episode because God wants to reveal himself to you. Enjoy and be encouraged.    Scripture Psalm 34:18   Psalm 147:3    Matthew 5:4    Psalm 23:4   Psalm 9:12   Joshua 1:9      Isaiah 41:10   Join Us In The Christian Mom Community- SCRIPTURE OF THE MONTH! https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianfemaleentrepreneur     Freebie- www.simplyjenniferbrown.com  

Have you ever realized you were doing the right thing . . . for the wrong reason? In these moments, we end up looking a lot like the Pharisees – like pretenders. In today's video, Matthew reflects upon the Gospel's difficult challenge of constant conversion, and offers a hopeful reminder that will inspire you to truly turn back to God again and again.

Today’s Bible Verse:“Is anyone among you in trouble? Let him pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing praise.” — James 5:13 James 5:13 invites us to bring every emotional moment—heavy or joyful—into the presence of God. When pain presses in, prayer steadies our hearts. When joy rises up, praise becomes our natural response. This simple rhythm shapes a life that stays rooted in God no matter the season. It reminds us that we’re never meant to navigate sorrow alone and never meant to enjoy blessings without gratitude. In every circumstance, God welcomes us to turn toward Him. “Want to listen without ads?

Send us a textYou don't feel close to God because you aren't good at thinking about yourself. Of course, we all think about ourselves too often, but I am not referring to the quantity of thoughts towards ourselves, but the quality. There is One who has thought about you enough that, once you believe what He says about you, you will never need to think about yourself again, and you will feel closer to God than you ever have.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/contact➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgesslerfamilybandhttps://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerhttps://cash.app/$KarlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089357625739➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIXLrkKxwXkq3uA#Bibleteaching #deliveranceministry #demons #Christianity #DiscipleshipSupport the show

Successful but unfulfilled? Brother Bernard had success but seeing his immigrant father's commitment to his faith made him reevaluate what true purpose is.

In the early morning hours of July 4th, 2025, the Hill Country of Texas was ravaged by the worst flood in recorded history. To date, over 100 have been confirmed dead with many more missing. This is a tragedy that hits close to home for many of us, but which has also captured the attention of the world due to the number of little children that have sadly died as a result. Phil and Danny acknowledge the brokenness and pain of this loss while attempting to provide clarity on the nature and character of God - He did not cause this tragedy. Our God is a God who rescues the lost and brokenhearted through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. He is there for any and all who are hurting and in need.Hosts: Danny Woodward and Pastor Phil Congdon#KerrvilleFlood #HuntTexas #CampMystic #TexasFlood #HillCountryFlooding #NatureOfGod #RescueMission #LoveOfGod#vlog#bible#assuredbygrace #nbbc

When heartbreak hits and the tears just won’t stop, it can feel like God is far away. But in today’s devotional, we’re reminded of a profound truth: God draws closer in our sorrow, not further. After attending a funeral, the author expected her grieving friend to be falling apart—but instead, she found a woman sustained by prayer, clinging to God’s strength hour by hour. That’s the power of God’s presence in grief. That’s the promise of Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit.” Whether you're facing loss, loneliness, or just the ache of unspoken pain, this verse is your reminder—you are never alone. Join the Conversation:Have you experienced God’s closeness during a painful season? What helped you draw near to Him instead of drifting away? Let us know @LifeaudioNetwork or by email. Your story may be just what someone else needs to hear.
