Preached 06-15-25 Rev. Elbert McGowan, Jr. Matthew 7:12

According to the New Testament, Christians are instructed to work together as a community. Even more than that, we are instructed to care for one another as a family, humbly serve one another and protect one another as soldiers in battle - even to the point of being willing to sacrifice ourselves. All of this is to be put in place while we each are dedicated to following the clear and godly teachings of Jesus in Scripture. So, how do we go about making all of this happen? In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians, he gives us a list of practical ways we should take care of one another. While this list is not comprehensive, it alerts us to several of the foundational principles of sound Christian conduct. This episode of our Christian Conduct Series focuses on how each believer can actively contribute to the health of their church community. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:12–15, we can see the Apostle Paul lays out a blueprint for mutual care, beginning with honoring spiritual leaders and extending to everyday interactions within the body of Christ. These instructions aren't just ideals—they're actionable steps rooted in humility, empathy and discipleship. Paul's list includes five key responsibilities that shape a spiritually vibrant church. Each of these reflects the character of Christ and reinforces the interdependence of believers. A major foundational point here is that these contributions are not optional niceties but essential disciplines for anyone seeking to live out their faith within the Christian community. Key Contributions to a Healthy Church • Admonish the unruly: Gently correct those who are out of step with Christian principles, aiming for restoration—not shame. • Encourage the fainthearted: Comfort those who are timid, anxious, or overwhelmed with emotional and spiritual support. • Help the weak: Cling to and support those who lack strength—physically, morally, or spiritually—through loyal, spiritually based companionship. • Be patient with everyone: Practice forbearance by restraining reactive impulses and allowing space for small steps of growth. • Seek good for all: Reject retaliation and pursue what benefits others, modeling the selfless love of Jesus. By living these principles, we can create a healthy church with a culture of compassion, accountability and spiritual resilience. The message is clear: mutual contribution isn't just about helping others—it's about embodying Christ in every relationship.

In this message from 1 Peter 1:13–21, Pastor Jason Hill calls believers to three key actions found in this passage: to set our hope fully on God's grace, to pursue holiness in all our conduct, and to live with reverent fear of the Lord as we walk through our time on earth. Pastor Jason explains that this fear is not terror but is instead a deep awe and devotion to God, caused as we remember His holiness, His impartial judgment, and the immeasurable cost of our redemption. We were ransomed from an empty life by a precise plan established by God before the foundation of the world so that our faith and hope would rest in God alone. This passage challenges us to examine whether we truly reflect a confident hope, a transformed heart, and a reverent walk that glorifies Christ in a world that desperately needs to see Him. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_53bba08498ad499596f401a6b2abb284.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_dcb647bcc71e406a98ae4b8e8ca8f042.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

In this message from our Entrusted series, Pastor John walks us through 2 Timothy 3:10–13, where Paul lays out a clear and reproducible pattern for true discipleship. Far from being a passive consumer of truth, a disciple is someone who walks closely, imitates faithfully, and multiplies intentionally.We explore three cords of this discipleship pattern:A Visible Pattern to Imitate – Teaching, Conduct, and PurposeA Spirit-Formed Character – Faith, Patience, and LoveA Willingness to Embrace the Cost – Endurance in the face of suffering and persecutionThrough Scripture, we are challenged to move from proximity to participation, from being hearers of the Word to doers, and from merely attending church to actively making disciples.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Christians are supposed to live lives that reflect godliness every day and in every way. This is not only difficult but frankly looked down upon. Because our world is driven by technology and social media, we are saturated daily with images, commentary, suggestions and pressure to stand for ourselves with pride and conviction. To stand as one subservient to God through Christ and to be guided by the Bible (which to many is misguided, ancient and outdated) is seen as a useless and even dangerous way of life. So, what do we do? How do we stand firmly and confidently as disciples of Christ? It all begins with the biblical principles we claim to hold as sound and true. What should a Christian leader look like? The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 5:12 that striving to genuinely appreciate those who are tasked with shepherding Jesus' flock is one of those biblical principles that should guide our behavior. In this epistle, Paul highlighted many of the character traits, responsibilities and sacrifices of true Christian leaders. We should follow and appreciate our shepherds only as they follow Christ. Interestingly, Paul's personal model of leadership is a strong guide for us to grasp what shepherding really looks like. His example is rooted in humility, integrity and spiritual maturity. He emphasizes that shepherds must serve willingly, not for personal gain, and must be examples of Christlike living. Paul's personal interactions with the Thessalonian church showed how he prayed for them, recognized their growth and endured persecution while supporting their faith. Key takeaway points regarding our appreciation of our spiritual shepherds include: • Christian leadership is defined by humility and service (John 13:14). • Leaders must be above reproach, spiritually mature and doctrinally sound (Titus 1:5–9). • Terms like "elder," "overseer," and "shepherd" describe different aspects of care—not hierarchical roles. • Paul's example shows leaders should be prayerful, observant, selfless and fearless in adversity. • Appreciation begins with recognizing the sacrifices and spiritual investment of leaders. • True appreciation involves reciprocating, imitating and elevating our own spiritual conduct. • Jesus' followers are urged to internalize what they've received and transform it into service for others. • Applying appreciation includes standing firm in faith, resisting worldly desires and proving truth through Scripture. Ultimately, what's the best what to appreciate our spiritual leaders? The Apostle Paul taught it is to: follow their Christlike example, grow in faith, and then pass on what we've received.

Free Speech and Free Association are the essence of the United States, and both fell under the jackboots of politically weaponized “wokeness” here in Virginia when a realtor decided he wanted to run for city council of Staunton. What happened next reads like the script for a Daniel Craig movie as agents for his opponents found a social media post from years before in which he reposted a Biblical passage, Leviticus 20:13, that had been shared with him by Franklin Graham.  Not only was the passage used to rally opposition to his run for public office, after that election was completed they shared the passage with his business association, the National Association of Realtors in an effort to have him expelled from the organization and prohibiting him access to the real estate listings he would use to help his clients find a home. Two weeks ago the National and Virginia Association of Realtors reversed their original determination against Mr. Fauber and changed their code of ethics to only regulate speech used during a realtor conducting of real estate business. Then, on Tuesday HJuly 29th Mr Fauber's legal team from the Founding Freedoms Law Center, a division of Virginia's Family Foundation, announced that the Department of Justice had opened an investigation into the Conduct of both organizations. We sit down with Mychael Sylvester, on e of Mr. Fauber's lawyer from the Founding Freedoms Law Center to catch up of this attempt to ruin a person's life simply because you disagree with them.

What does a spy owe — to their country, their conscience, or their cause? In this episode, Cécile Fabre investigates the moral lives of Cold War operatives like Kim Philby and Oleg Gordievsky. With Fabre, we probe the strange morality of spies and the ethical paradoxes they inhabit.Is it ever right to betray your country? Can deception be a moral duty? These questions come to life through real stories of espionage. Competing ethical frameworks — such as utilitarian, deontological, and virtue-based — offer different judgments on such acts. We also confront the role of ideology, the weight of consequences, and the question of whether loyalty to the state should override personal conscience.From secrets and double agents to the philosophy of trust and betrayal, this conversation delves into what it really means to be a “moral” spy.Chapters:[00:00] Introduction to Espionage[00:30] Case Study: Kim Philby[02:48] Case Study: Oleg Gordievsky[05:32] Ethical Dilemmas in Espionage[09:55] Philosophical Perspectives on Treason[30:48] Role Morality and Consequentialism[43:52] Virtue Ethics and the Spy's Conduct[58:21] The Duty to Betray[01:01:24] Conclusion and Final Thoughts

In the writings of Saint Isaac the Syrian, we see so beautifully the desert fathers emphasis on praxis; that is, how we concretely live out our faith in our day-to-day life and relationships. They knew that Christ can be lost to the mind and the heart not only through sin but also simply in the warp and wolf of day-to-day life. We surround ourselves with things that provide us with a sense of security and identity. This goes beyond material goods and includes our being driven by busyness and the pursuit of the world‘s respect of our accomplishments. We can lose time through idle chatter, laziness, and sloth. With anxious hearts, we direct our energy toward pursuing the things that we have come to love within the world; education, art, athletics, and entertainment. We are zealous for what we love and willing to invest ourselves without counting the cost to pursue it.  However, Saint Isaac reminds us of the meaning and the weight of those small moments and affairs in our day-to-day life. Do we hold in mind the brevity of our life and that it has been entrusted to us in such a way that we will have to give an account before God for how we have used the gift? Do we see the “other” and Christ within the poor or those who are suffering and alone? More often than not our minds and hearts are abstracted by the things that titillate the senses and emotions.  Thus, Saint Isaac tells us acquire freedom in your manner of life; in particular freedom from turmoil. Do not find your freedom by what simply gives pleasure and so become a slave of slaves. Surrounded by abundance and conveniences we often have the sense that we are dependent upon them. Yet we do not realize that they will never help us to acquire humble thoughts or a pure minds. St. Isaac, therefore, describes renunciation as weaning ourselves from our attachment to the things of this world as well as from our own ego. Our dignity and destiny is found in Christ Who is our hope, our salvation, and our Love! --- Text of chat during the group: 00:05:37 susan: been away  what page are we on? 00:11:58 Myles Davidson: Page 143 “Love chastity…..” 00:13:11 Una: Trouble with my sound 00:13:11 Fr.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the idea that Civility, in one of its meanings, is among the most valuable social virtues: the skill to discuss topics that really matter to you, with someone who disagrees and yet somehow still get along. In another of its meanings, when Civility describes the limits of behaviour that is acceptable, the idea can reflect society at its worst: when only those deemed 'civil enough' are allowed their rights, their equality and even their humanity. Between these extremes, Civility is a slippery idea that has fascinated philosophers especially since the Reformation, when competing ideas on how to gain salvation seemed to make it impossible to disagree and remain civil.With Teresa Bejan Professor of Political Theory at Oriel College, University of OxfordPhil Withington Professor of History at the University of SheffieldAnd John Gallagher Associate Professor of Early Modern History at the University of LeedsProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list: Teresa M.

How is AI transforming the landscape of Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?AI is fundamentally changing SEO by simplifying its processes and shifting the focus from simply ranking for keywords to writing for the algorithm.

What is "writing for the algorithm" in the age of AI, and why is it crucial for businesses?"Writing for the algorithm" means creating content specifically optimized for how AI systems process and interpret information. This involves writing in speech-friendly formats, using text, video, and image content, and ensuring it's highly contextual to your brand, experience, and engagement.

Are you constantly chasing perfection, or are you truly celebrating progress? In this insightful episode of the Leadership Sandbox podcast, Tammy J. Bond challenges leaders to shift their focus from the dreaded "gap" of what hasn't been accomplished to the powerful "gain" of what has.

Discover how conducting a "gain audit" can transform your perspective, enhance motivation, and significantly boost team performance.

Lead by Example: Be aware that your team watches how you measure success – model a gain-driven mindset. Learn from Failures: Embrace acknowledging failures as valuable learning opportunities, rather than reasons for self-punishment. Shift Negative Mindsets: Actively work to shift negative mindsets within yourself and your team towards recognizing opportunities and strengths.

What if we're both right? Some people like things to be tidy. We like a neat workspace, an orderly flow of traffic, and a theology with no loose ends. We want right to be right and wrong to be wrong, always and for everybody. Well, God seems to have left some ambiguities just to challenge people like us. On the fringes of His great tapestry, the "tie that binds" may look more like a stray thread. Here's Jim in Romans, chapter 14.

It's the carnivores vs. the vegetarians! The early Christians in Rome had a problem. Some wanted to honor God by abstaining from meat and enjoying holy days; others wanted to honor God by doing the reverse. Apparently there wasn't a king-like human authority in the church... in Rome... who could decide the matter for them. To this day similar disagreements continue to give Christians reasons to either judge each other, or accept our differences.

The recent American Eagle advertisements featuring Sydney Sweeney have sparked intense public reaction, but amidst the noise, a deeper conversation is being overlooked—one that speaks to the heart of Christian discipleship in our image-driven culture.  Join Jeremy Jeremiah and James St. Simon as we discuss this cultural issue head on.Rather than getting swept up in ideological debates or surface-level controversies, we invite believers to reflect on what Scripture teaches about beauty, modesty, and the dignity of the human person. The human body is a gift from God—fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)—but how we present that gift reveals whom we serve.In today's culture, where marketing often trades in provocation and the reduction of persons to visual consumption, Christians are called to something higher. The lives of women like Sarah, Hannah, Ruth, and above all, the Theotokos—the Virgin Mary—remind us that true beauty is inseparable from virtue. Their strength, humility, and faithfulness reveal a radiance that no advertisement can replicate.Modesty, in the Christian tradition, is not about shame or repression. It is about reverence—for oneself, for others, and for the God who made us. As St. Paul writes, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?” (1 Corinthians 6:19). Our bodies are not commodities to be marketed, but sacred vessels meant for glory, love, and service.Marriage itself, the first covenant established by God, points us beyond mere physical attraction toward a deeper union of souls, grounded in sacrificial love and spiritual communion.As followers of Christ, we are called to rise above the culture wars and bear witness to a Kingdom where beauty is not exploited but honored, not flaunted but cherished. Let us strive for a vision of womanhood and manhood rooted in holiness—not in trends, but in timeless truth.Join us for a thoughtful conversation on how we, as Christians, can respond with grace, clarity, and conviction in a world that often forgets the sacredness of the human form. Visit Cloud of Witnesses Radio: https://cloudofwitnessesradio.com/ Questions about Orthodoxy?

In this episode we talk about strategic financing options. There are a lot of ways to raise money for your startup, and corporate investors (strategics) can be a good option. Are they right for you? What are the pros and cons of strategic investment? We are here to help! In this episode we answer questions including:Should you raise money from a competitor?What about raising from your customers?Are government grants a good idea?All of these questions were submitted by listeners just like you. You can submit questions for us to answer on our website TheStartupHelpdesk.com or on X/Twitter @thestartuphd - we'd love to hear from you!Your hosts:Sean Byrnes: General Partner, Near Horizon www.nearhorizon.vcAsh Rust: Managing Partner, Sterling Road www.sterlingroad.comNic Meliones: CEO, Navi www.heynavi.comReminder: this is not legal advice or investment advice.Q1: Should you raise money from a competitor?Sounds risky, huh? Your instinct is probably right—this is a red flag! Conduct a principled evaluation. Recognize the opportunity while weighing strategic upside versus structural risk.Here's the key: your competitors' motivation to invest in you is likely not aligned with your needs. They are not loyal to you, thus there are other incentives guiding their interest in investing. There are potential espionage risks and conflicting incentives that can cause significant issues later, especially if your startup becomes big.The good news: you can say "no!" Competitor interest is a signal. If competitors want in, perhaps other better-suited investors will too.Q2: What about raising from your customers?Customer interest is validating, but tread carefully. Customer investors are risky. Information rights can severely hurt your negotiating position. Furthermore, if your customer-turned-investor churns, that can significantly hurt your market credibility.Delay such conversations until later in the round. If you decide to raise capital from your customers, structure the investments thoughtfully, possibly through RUVs or uncapped terms. Clearly define boundaries to help manage risks while preserving relationships.Q3: Are government grants a good idea?Grants are not fundraising red flags. In fact, securing a grant can often signal market validation. Investors love dilution-free capital. However...while dilution-free capital is attractive, beware of grants that work outside your strategic roadmap. This can become a distraction. While grants demonstrate external demand, their slow processes can divert focus from iterating on core product-market fit milestones. Grants are strategically advantageous only if they accelerate your core objectives rather than redirect them.So, ask yourself: "Does the grant move us forward on our roadmap? Or does it give us a new roadmap?"Your answer to that question gives you all the clarity you need.

Most leaders avoid tough conversations out of fear—of seeming harsh, being misunderstood, or facing backlash. But the conversations we dodge are often the key to growth, accountability, and psychological safety. In this episode, Paul Falcone, bestselling author & former CHRO of Nickelodeon Animation, breaks down how leaders can approach tough conversations with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Paul introduces powerful frameworks like the “Performance vs. Conduct” model and the “iron hand with a velvet glove” approach to help leaders hold people accountable without alienating them. He explains why career development and respect in the workplace go hand in hand—and how to deliver feedback that actually builds trust instead of breaking it. We also discuss the delicate balance between psychological safety and high standards, the risks of having too much sensitivity in today's workplace, and how values-based leadership is quickly becoming a CEO-level priority. Paul shares real-world strategies like quarterly development check-ins, “safe word” communication systems, and team-led accountability sessions to help leaders build stronger relationships while reinforcing high performance and conduct.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
