Dave and Bethlie continue their series in identifying biblical steps for climbing out of the darkness that depression can bring. From confessing sin and getting right with God, to listing your responsibilities, avoiding pity parties, and anchoring yourself in the truth of Scripture, we know God's Word is powerful enough to help you overcome.

‭‭‭‭‭‭(Genesis 39:1-21) Genesis 39:6–8 (ESV) So he left all that he had in Joseph's charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” But he refused. Joseph Was Distinctive: The Favor/Purpose Of The Father Was TangibleHis Coat (Favor): Genesis 37:3–4 (ESV) Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.His Dream (Purpose): Genesis 37:10–11 (ESV) But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?” And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.Joseph is in prison because of his coat and his dreamJoseph is in prison because of the touch of the father, and the calling of the father.They were jealous - the same touch/favor were available to them as well.His brothers destroyed the coat to remove the father's touch and sold him to remove the father's callingGenesis 37:10–11 (ESV) But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?” And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.The Father's Favor And Purpose Remained - Genesis 39:2–5 (ESV) The LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. His master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD caused all that he did to succeed in his hands. So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had. From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in house and field.Favor Attacked By A SUBSTITUTE For God's Gift Of SEXGenesis 39:7–8 (ESV) And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” But he refused and said to his master's wife, This is an iconic crossroads in life, desiring to pull you out of alignment with God's favor. At first glance, it's just sex.PhysicalNatural desiresCompanionship - I'm all alone (hard to marry-slave)Physical escape from difficulty circumstancesEmotionalBeing wanted by someone attractive/powerfulReward for the unfair trialEntitlement - deserved for accomplishmentsGateway to life goals.For all these reasons, the average person gives in.He's already a physical slave, but an emotional/spiritual slavery is attempting to take over.From 30,000 ft up, this is a bigger attack on favor/calling than his brothers.No issue will ever challenge favor like your sexuality.Sexuality is the #1 test you will every faceUnavoidable experiences in childhoodPoor decisions during youthUnknown doors opened in the spiritual realm 1 Corinthians 6:15–19 (ESV) Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,It's why so many children are attacked at a young age.Pollute a person's sexuality, and the impact is massive.No Issue Will Challenge Favor Like Your SexualityIt will take an and pollute a mile.Adultery (Sexual relations with a married person)Exodus 20:14; Leviticus 20:10; Matthew 5:27–28; Proverbs 6:32.Fornication / Sexual Immorality (A broad term—Greek porneia—covering sex outside of marriage)1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Galatians 5:19; Hebrews 13:4.Incest (Sexual relations with close relatives)Leviticus 18:6–18; Leviticus 20:11–12, 14, 17, 19–21; 1 Corinthians 5:1.Homosexual Acts (Same-sex sexual activity)Leviticus 18:22; Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:10.Bestiality (Sexual relations with animals)Exodus 22:19; Leviticus 18:23; Leviticus 20:15–16; Deuteronomy 27:21.Prostitution (Engaging in or soliciting sexual services for hire)Leviticus 19:29; Deuteronomy 23:17–18; 1 Corinthians 6:15–16.Rape / Sexual AssaultDeuteronomy 22:25–27; Genesis 34:1–7.Effeminacy / Cross-Dressing (Cultural expressions of gender subversion in a sexual/moral context)Deuteronomy 22:5; 1 Corinthians 6:9 (specifically the term malakoi in some translations).Lust (Cultivating sexual desire for someone not one's spouse)Matthew 5:28; Job 31:1; 1 John 2:16.Sensuality / Lasciviousness (Lack of restraint; promoting lewdness)Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 4:19; Jude 1:4.Impurity / Uncleanness (Moral or ritual defilement related to sexual conduct)Colossians 3:5; Ephesians 5:3; Romans 1:24.Seduction of a Virgin (Sex with an unbetrothed woman)Exodus 22:16–17; Deuteronomy 22:28–29.Cult Prostitution (Sexual acts as part of pagan worship)1 Kings 14:24; 2 Kings 23:7; Hosea 4:14.The Beauty Of Sex - (8) We believe that Christian marriage was established by God, confirmed by Jesus, and is between a man and a woman. We believe that sex is a gift from God designed for intimacy and procreation within marriage.Created by God - Matthew 19:4–6 (ESV) He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”For Companionship/Unity/IntamacyGenesis 2:24: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."Matthew 19:5–6: "...and the two shall become one flesh? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."For Pleasure/Protection 1 Corinthians 7:5: "Do not deprive one another... so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."1 Corinthians 7:2: "But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband."For Pro-Creation (no more reflective of God than when you have kids)Genesis 1:28: "And God blessed them. And God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it...'"Psalm 127:3–5 (ESV) Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.Between Recapture Your Sexuality. Recapture Your Alignment For Favor/PurposeEphesians 5:3 (NIV) But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.1 John 1:9 (ESV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.CONFESS - homologeōHomos - sameLogos - word or speakTo speak the same thing.

On this episode of Ask, Tell, Confess – Live from NYC (Bunnie's Stripped Down Book Tour) the New York stop had the Coven lining up at the mic with zero chill. We heard a White Castle confession that had the whole room reacting, a woman proudly living the no-panties lifestyle for years, an armpit obsession that sent everyone screaming, and a jaw-dropping reveal about a family-run escort operation. Unfiltered, loud, and completely feral—this is the kind of ATC chaos you have to hear to believe.Watch Full Episodes & More: YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send a textDuring the season of Lent, Bishop Wright invites all to a five-week Lenten teaching series, We Confess, with weekly video meditations and study guides that frame Lent as a loving turn toward healing, renewal, and hope through honest confession. You can learn more about the series at episcopalatlanta.org/lent26.In this week's episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation about the third reflection: We Confess We Forget. Thirst in the desert will test any heart. Using Exodus 17, they trace the tension of freshly freed people, real dehydration, rising panic, and ask why human memory collapses right when we need it most. Their focus lands on confession as a path back to freedom: admitting that we forget and that fear tempts us to outsource our agency to leaders or systems that cannot carry our soul. Walking through the story, they name the true cost of freedom—responsibility and agency—and sit with Moses in the uncomfortable middle between a grieving crowd and a listening God. Rather than scolding the ancestors, we let their honesty teach us. If you're standing at the edge of a hard need—health, money, work, or grief—this conversation invites you to carry memory like water and to trust that provision may arrive from an angle you didn't expect.Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

March 06 2026 Friday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 16 Made Perfect #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Sermon delivered on Wednesday, February, 4th, 2026, at Serious Christian Church in Cape Town, South Africa

Are you silently battling thoughts that won't let you go? In this eye-opening episode, Julieann Hartman explores the biblical call to confess our sins to one another—not for shame, but for healing. The enemy thrives in secrecy, using hidden struggles to torment our minds and keep us bound. Julieann emphasizes the importance of finding safe, trustworthy people to open up to and reminds us that isolation only deepens the pain. Freedom begins when we bring things into the light—because what's exposed loses its power to control us.

What the Bible Teaches About Sexual Purity in a Confused Culture Show: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins Author: Dave Jenkins Date: March 5, 2026 Show Summary Question: What does the Bible teach about sexual purity in a confused culture? In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins answers an urgent question for our time: what does Scripture teach about sexual purity when the culture is constantly redefining sexuality and calling purity outdated or unloving? God's Word does not shift with the times. God's design is good, intentional, and for our flourishing. Sexual sin is not merely a cultural issue—it is a heart issue. It affects our conscience, our relationships, our work, and our walk with Christ. But God's Word gives clarity, hope, and direction, and Christ offers real forgiveness and lasting renewal. Listen Watch --> Key Scriptures Genesis 1:27 Genesis 2:24 Ephesians 5:25–32 Matthew 5:27–28 Romans 12:2 Galatians 5:16 1 John 1:9 Hebrews 10:24–25 Psalm 51:10 Episode Highlights God created humanity male and female—sexual identity is received from God, not invented (Genesis 1:27). God designed sexuality for covenant marriage—exclusive, permanent, and worshipful (Genesis 2:24). Purity is not only behavior—it begins in the heart (Matthew 5:27–28). Temptation lies and sin overpromises—but only Christ satisfies. Four biblical strategies to pursue purity through Word, Spirit, repentance, and community. Full Article God's Word Does Not Shift with Culture We live in a world where the meaning of sexuality is constantly shifting, where purity is labeled outdated, and where boundaries are rejected. But God's Word does not shift with our culture. God's design is good. It is intentional, and it is for our flourishing. Sexual Sin Is a Heart Issue Sexual sin is not merely a cultural issue—it is a heart issue. It affects our conscience, our relationships, our work, and our walk with Christ. And many today struggle in silence—trapped, ashamed, numb, or confused. But the Word of God gives clarity, hope, and direction. God's Design for Sexuality and Identity Genesis 1:27 teaches that God created man in His own image—male and female He created them. Sexual identity is not invented; it is received from God as part of His created order. Genesis 2:24 adds that a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. God designed sexuality to be covenant-based, exclusive, permanent, life-giving, and worshipful—because marriage reflects Christ and His church (Ephesians 5:25–32). Marriage is not merely relational; it is deeply theological. Purity Begins in the Heart Sexual purity is not only avoiding sinful behavior—it is devotion to Christ in body and heart. Jesus teaches in Matthew 5:27–28 that lust is adultery of the heart. Purity begins inwardly and works outward into obedience, shaping thoughts, desires, intentions, and behaviors. Scripture uses the category of sexual immorality to describe any sexual expression outside the covenant of marriage. This includes pornography, lust, fornication, adultery, sexual fantasy, and anything that distorts God's design. Purity is not simply avoiding sin—it is walking in holiness. Why We Need Biblical Clarity in the Battle The world normalizes impurity, our sinful nature is drawn to it, and the enemy tempts us with false promises. Temptation lies, and sin overpromises but never satisfies. Only Christ gives true peace, joy, and fulfillment. We do not fight in our own strength—we fight with the truth of God's Word. Four Biblical Strategies for Pursuing Purity Renew your mind with the Word of God (Romans 12:2). Purity begins with a renewed way of thinking—thinking God's thoughts after Him. Walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). Purity is not achieved through willpower, but through dependence on the Spirit of God. Confess and repent quickly (1 John 1:9). Confession is not defeat—it is the path to restoration and cleansing. Pursue accountability and community (Hebrews 10:24–25). Isolation fuels temptation, but life in the local church strengthens obedience. Hope for the Guilty and Ashamed Maybe you feel guilty, convicted, discouraged, or ashamed. Hear this clearly: God does not shame His children. He restores them. Psalm 51:10 says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God.” God specializes in redemption—He washes, renews, restores, strengthens, and changes desires. Christ Is Better Sexual purity is not just saying no to sin—it is saying yes to Christ, because Christ is better. Christ satisfies, Christ renews, and Christ heals. Takeaways & Reflection Questions Where have you allowed cultural assumptions to shape your thinking more than Scripture?

March 04 2026 Wednesday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 16 His Great Mercy #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for March 2nd, 2026! On this sixty-first day of our journey through the Bible, Hunter guides us into the heart of scripture, reading from Numbers chapters 30 and 31, and Mark chapter 9. Today's passages explore the nature of vows, the consequences of agreements, and the fierce battle against the Midianites. In the Gospel of Mark, we witness Jesus' transfiguration on the mountain, a dramatic healing, and powerful teachings about faith, humility, and combating sin. Hunter draws thoughtful connections between Old Testament laws and Jesus' words, showing how our need for freedom from sin is met by going to the Father and confessing our burdens. The episode is wrapped with heartfelt prayers for the listeners, encouragement to be instruments of peace, and reminders of God's unwavering love. Stay tuned for reflections, community shoutouts from Michael McClatcher, and invitations to join this growing circle of faith. Whether you're new or a regular, today's journey invites you to experience grace, hope, and belonging at the heart of God's word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He frees us from the agreements of sin. In Numbers 30, scripture starts with instructions that might seem obscure. There's guidance about vows and how a married woman or an unmarried daughter might be released from a binding agreement—by bringing it to her father or husband, who could nullify it if they did not approve. It was simple: freedom from obligation came through someone in authority. In Mark 9, Jesus confronts sin with equally strong language. He says, "If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off." He isn't advocating literal amputation, but rather using powerful words to emphasize the seriousness of sin's grip. Sin, Jesus shows us, operates like a contract, a vow—an insidious agreement between ourselves and the parts of us that are prone to wander. Sin says to the hand, "Do this and I'll reward you with that." Sin bargains with the eye, "Look here and you'll gain something." We make these agreements, often without realizing, and they bind us. But severing limbs is not the answer. The answer is severing the vows and contracts we have unwittingly made with sin. And the way to do that is the way shown in Numbers 30: we bring our vow to the Father. We confess to Him the promise, the contract that is ruining our lives—and He, our good Father, is the one with the authority to nullify it. He breaks the contract. He releases us from sin's power and control. This is not about magic words; it's about what God has done in sending His Son. Jesus paid the price for our sin. He met the demands of the agreement, and He alone has the power to free us from the bonds we've created. He is the one who can tie those deceitful contracts to a millstone and throw them into the sea. Are you trapped in the grip of sin? Take every agreement you've made—all the bargains, all the lies—and bring them to your Father. Confess them. Your confession doesn't change God's attitude toward you; it changes you. It wipes your eyes clear to the truth of your being: that you belong to Him. Regardless of sins committed, God will never cease to be your Father. He has united Himself with us once and for all through Jesus Christ—His incarnation, death, resurrection, ascension. Jesus has defeated sin, death, and the grave. Sin blinds our eyes to the reality that we are swept up into something new, but confession is our way of seeing again. On the cross, Jesus broke the power of every agreement. Let us return to the Father and remember who we are in the Son—free, alive, hopeful, and full of love. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are answering a question about Romans 10:9-10. Is confessing Christ a requirement to be born again? If so, why is it not mentioned with other so-called salvation verses? Are there two steps to faith? Please listen to this and every episode of The post Does Romans 10:9-10 Say We Must Confess Christ to Be Born Again? appeared first on Grace Evangelical Society.

In Week 8 of our James series, Pastor Aaron McRae walks through James 5:12–20 and explores one central theme: the power of words.From truthful speech to corporate prayer, from confession to restoring someone who has wandered from the faith, James reminds us that words shape lives, communities, and eternity.We live in a world filled with noise — conspiracy theories, instant reactions, and competing truth claims. But James calls believers to something radically different:Let your “yes” be yes.Pray in suffering.Praise in joy.Confess sins to one another.Restore those who wander.Pastor Aaron unpacks how suffering can strain our relationship with God and others — and how prayer is meant to anchor and restore the community. James shows us that sickness, hardship, and even wandering faith are not problems to ignore but opportunities for prayerful care and courageous love.This message challenges us to move beyond private spirituality into corporate vulnerability:Prayer that is Spirit-empowered.Confession that builds trust.Correction that restores gently.Community that refuses to isolate the weak.James closes his letter not with theory — but with action. Words that tell the truth. Words that pray. Words that confess. Words that restore.Because the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.If this message encourages you, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs restoration or prayer today.

This week, Moody & Groo finally admit the unthinkable: We're chick‑flick guys now. There. We said it. And we're starting with the Reese‑Witherspoon‑in‑pink nuclear blast known as Legally Blonde. Along the way we accidentally detour into: Elimination Chamber chaos Ronda vs. Gina (huh?) Logan Paul winning just to spite us Pat McAfee possibly becoming the next Stallone (yes, really) Mayweather, Pacquiao, and the battle of “why?” Jennifer Coolidge ascending to MILF immortality Plus Rod Stewart, Wayne's World beef, and America's Next Top Meltdown And then—BOOM— New spinoff alert: Stallone Cold Debates. Because if two idiots are going to argue about Stallone … it might as well be us. #Bend & snap #Rip ‘Em!

At the heart of Romans 10 lies one of the most liberating truths in all of Scripture: salvation is not a distant prize we must climb mountains to reach, but a gift placed within arm's reach. This passage dismantles the exhausting treadmill of performance-based righteousness and reveals that God is not far off, demanding we ascend to heaven or descend into the abyss to find Him. Instead, He came to us. The message explores how we've often overcomplicated what God made beautifully simple—that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved. This isn't about checking boxes or accumulating enough church attendance or service hours. It's about genuine faith that wells up from within and spills out in confession. The distinction between righteousness based on law versus righteousness based on faith becomes crystal clear: one leads to endless emptiness, the other to complete fulfillment. For those of us striving to earn what has already been freely given, this message offers profound relief. For those who have believed but never publicly confessed, it issues a gentle but urgent invitation. And for all of us, it reminds us that the word is near—in our mouths and in our hearts—not because we've worked hard enough, but because God, in His mercy, brought it to us.**Sermon Notes – Romans 10:5–15 – “The Message of Salvation to All”**---### 1. Righteousness Based on the Law → Emptiness (vv.5; Lev. 18:5; James 2:10)- Paul quotes Moses (Lev. 18:5): “The person who does the commandments shall live by them.”- To be righteous by law you must keep *all* of it, perfectly.- The law was never meant to *save* but to: - Reveal God's standard. - Expose our sin and inability. - Point to our need for a Savior.- When we base our standing with God on works (church attendance, serving, morality), it produces: - Constant insecurity. - Pride if we think we're doing well; despair if we know we're not.- Ephesians 2:4–9: We are saved by grace through faith, *not* works, so no one may boast.---### 2. Righteousness Based on Faith → Fulfillment (vv.6–8; Deut. 30:11–14)- Paul uses Deut. 30 to say: the word is *near* you—in your mouth and heart.- We don't “ascend to heaven” or “descend to the abyss” to reach Christ: - We can't climb up to God. - God came down to us in Christ.- God is not distant: - “The Lord is near to all who call on him” (Ps. 145:18). - “Near to the brokenhearted” (Ps. 34:18).- True fulfillment is not in success, family, money, or “the American dream,” but in trusting Christ and His finished work.---### 3. How We Are Saved (vv.9–13)- v.9–10:   - Confess with your mouth that **Jesus is Lord**.   - Believe in your heart that **God raised Him from the dead**.   - You *will* be saved.- Believe → justified.   Confess → saved (public identification with Christ).- This is simple, but not superficial: - Acknowledge your sin (Rom. 3:23). - Believe in Christ's death and resurrection. - Confess Him openly (baptism is a commanded, public expression—but not what saves).- Luke 23 thief on the cross: - No time for works or rituals. - Belief and confession → “Today you will be with me in paradise.”- v.11–13: “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame… Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” - No distinction: Jew/Greek. Same Lord. Same way of salvation.---### 4. Sent to Share (vv.13–15)- v.14–15: How will they call, believe, or hear without someone preaching? - “Preaching” here is not just pastors—every believer bears witness.- God raises up future pastors, missionaries, disciple-makers from each generation.- The church must: - Invest in the next generation. - Refuse to idolize methods or traditions; cling to the unchanging gospel.---## Practical Applications1. **Stop Trying to Earn It**  - Identify where you still try to “pay God back” with works.  - Repent of self-righteousness; rest in grace.2. **Examine: Have You Both Believed and Confessed?**  - Have you trusted Christ personally?  - Have you ever clearly told others or been baptized as a believer? If not, take that step.3. **Lean Into God's Nearness**  - When He feels distant, preach Deut. 30:14; Ps. 34:18 to yourself.  - Bring your brokenness honestly before Him.4. **Own Your Mission Field**  - Where you live, work, and play is your assignment.  - This week: intentionally share your story or an aspect of the gospel with one person.5. **Invest in the Next Generation**  - Pray for and encourage students and kids.  - Consider serving in ministries that disciple them.---## Discussion Questions1. Where have you personally tried to base your righteousness on “law” or performance? What fruit did that produce?2. How does knowing God is *near* (Deut. 30; Psalms) change how you handle seasons when He *feels* far?3. Have you both believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth that Jesus is Lord? What did/does that confession look like?4. Why is it vital that the church adapt methods (but not the message) to reach the next generation?5. Who in your life “cannot hear” unless you speak? What's one concrete step you can take this week to share Christ with them?

What do you do when you have sinned - when your actions have hurt yourself or others? How does someone repent and hope for renewal? We explore the power of confession in a famous prayer from an ancient King for clues.

03/01/2026 Love, Rewritten | God's Unconditional LoveExodus 34BIG IDEA: God's hesed is covenant love that binds Himself to us and refuses to let go.How long will God keep loving us? Following Jesus is not about trying harder, it's about surrendering more. Idols in our lives: What idols do you have in your life that keep you from enriching your relationship with Jesus? You are free to choose, but you are not free to choose your consequences.God's hesed for you:Hesed is rooted in God's character. Hesed is not sustained by your behavior, it's sustained by God's character..Hesed outlasts failure.Hesed is revealed fully in Christ. (John 1:14) Jesus is hesed embodied (1 Peter 1: 18-19). The Cross is not emotional love, it's covenantal love paying the price.In Christ, your new reality is:Hesed means you can stop performing. If God's love were conditional, you would have to maintain it. Read Galatians 3:3 and 2:20.Hesed means you can stop hiding. Confess your sins, repent, and receive God's forgiveness. (Psalm 32)Hesed means you can start loving differently. (Colossians 3; Ephesians 4) We are anchored by God's love, so we can love others properly.

Send a textDuring the season of Lent, Bishop Wright invites all to a five-week Lenten teaching series, We Confess, with weekly video meditations and study guides that frame Lent as a loving turn toward healing, renewal, and hope through honest confession. You can learn more about the series at episcopalatlanta.org/lent26.In this week's episode, Melissa has a conversation with Bishop Wright about the second reflection: We Confess God is Our Portion. What if confession started with an inventory of abundance rather than a list of failures? Through the story of Abram and Sarai, they explore how trusting God as our portion reshapes how we understand hardship, delayed timing, and the hidden mercies of “no” and “not yet.” Listen in for the full conversation.Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

February 27 2026 Friday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 15 Adopted Into God's Family  #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Have you stopped to consider the number of lies Democrats tell themselves?It's enormous.I don't know how they live themselves, except to say they're scared to leave the cult.Blatant lies.Covid. Vaccine effectiveness. Masks. Etc.Guns. Border policy. 2020 election. 2022 midterms. J6.The strangest thing about the hypothetical was not the shouting. It was the silence.At precisely midnight, something shifted. No executive order. No Supreme Court ruling. No viral hashtag. Just an inexplicable civic condition: every Democrat in America, from city council to Capitol Hill, suddenly lost the ability to lie.Not exaggerate. Not deflect. Not rebrand. Lie.By sunrise, the cable news studios looked like aquariums after someone forgot to oxygenate the tank. Pundits opened their mouths with the usual choreography, but what came out was unfiltered oxygen. Raw. Bracing. Occasionally fatal to reputations.The first hearings convened before breakfast.A senior Democrat, long fond of describing January 6 as an existential threat on par with Pearl Harbor and 9/11, leaned toward the microphone and admitted that while the riot was disgraceful, the apocalyptic rhetoric proved politically invaluable. It unified a fractured caucus. It redirected scrutiny away from pandemic policy failures. It froze debate. “Most secure election in history,” another repeated, before clarifying that security and public confidence are not synonyms, particularly after states rewrote voting procedures under emergency authority while private actors poured hundreds of millions into local election administration.He even cited the now well documented “Zuckerberg grants,” the $419 million channeled through the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a figure reported widely in 2021 and dissected in state legislatures thereafter. What had once been framed as “philanthropy” was now described, under duress of honesty, as asymmetrical infrastructure. Legal, perhaps. Neutral, not exactly.Then the conversation pivoted to COVID.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A Personal Confession of Jesus with Pastor Ted Doering.based off of Psalm 78:1-7 & 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.More information is available at www.narrative.church

An old Scottish proverb says, “Confession is good for the soul.” Scripture backs that up. Join us for step 5 of our journey, “Steps to Life in Christ,” as we get a Biblical perspective on confession to God and people we trust.

We Confess Together

In this exhortation, Pastor Daniel Helstrom asks how one can go from having a troubled heart to actually experiencing God's peace and favor in a way that makes us say we are blessed. Psalm 32 shows us the way to always acknowledging the state of our hearts before our Heavenly Father.

On this episode of Ask, Tell, Confess, the Coven comes in hot. Bunnie XO recaps her FOUR-HOUR interview with Larry Birkhead — including finally meeting Dannielynn — while the girls juggle tour rehearsals, tease surprise guest moments, and freak out over the book popping up in local stores.Then the confessions take over. Hailee shares a high-fiber cereal story that turns into pure trauma, Meme reads a submission about a jaw-dropping run-in with an older woman, and the Coven reacts to a listener's marriage drama about a husband who won't do a single thing around the house. They close it out with Valentine's plans, dinner reservations, and the kind of chaotic energy only this group can deliver.Watch Full Episodes & More: YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send a textBeginning on Ash Wednesday, Bishop Wright invites all to a five-week Lenten teaching series, We Confess, with weekly video meditations and study guides that frame Lent as a loving turn toward healing, renewal, and hope through honest confession. You can learn more about the series at episcopalatlanta.org/lent26.In this week's episode, Melissa has a conversation with Bishop Wright about the first reflection: We Confess Our Disobedience to God. Starting with Genesis 2–3 as a living paradigm, they unpack why humans reach for control even when life is abundant, and how that refusal to submit to God's words and ways leads to guilt, isolation, and disobedience. The aim isn't to scold; it's to show a path home. Listen in for the full conversation.Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

What happens when sin is forgiven by God—but still hidden in your heart?

Speaker: Dane BurgessScripture: Matthew 5:1–10Episode Overview:In this message from Matthew 5:1–10, we hear Jesus publicly redefine what it means to live a truly flourishing life. On a hillside before the crowds, He declares blessing not over the powerful, the impressive, or the self-sufficient—but over the poor in spirit, the meek, the merciful, and those who hunger for righteousness. These words are not a checklist to complete or a ladder to climb. They are a declaration of what happens when the King takes residence in a person's life. The good life begins not with performance, but with open hands before Christ.Key Highlights:• A New Vision of the Good LifeJesus overturns common definitions of success and announces that true flourishing belongs to those who recognize their need.• Receiving Before OverflowingThe first Beatitudes describe empty hands—poverty of spirit, mourning, meekness, hunger for righteousness. The latter reveal what grows from a heart transformed—mercy, purity, peacemaking, steadfast faith.• Kingdom Reality in the Present Tense“Theirs is the kingdom of heaven” is not a distant promise alone, but a present reality for those who belong to Christ.• Transformation, Not PerformanceThis is not behavior management or moral self-improvement. It is the fruit of encountering the King who gives what we cannot produce ourselves.• Christ Fulfilled What We Could NotJesus embodied the Beatitudes perfectly—becoming poor, mourning, meek, and forsaken—so that we might receive mercy, comfort, and the kingdom.Call to Action:Take time this week to examine what your life is truly resting on. Where have you been performing, striving, or quietly building on shifting sand? Come honestly before Christ with open hands. Confess your need. Ask Him to re-anchor your heart in His mercy and righteousness. Then extend what you have received—practice mercy where you would normally demand repayment, pursue peace where tension exists, and hold your circumstances loosely because you are held securely by the King.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 5:1-2. The sin in Corinth wasn't subtle, hidden, or debatable. It was so scandalous that even the surrounding pagan culture was shocked by it. Paul writes: It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. — 1 Corinthians 5:1–2 Paul cannot believe what he's hearing. A man in the church is committing sexual sin that even unbelievers reject, and instead of grieving over it, the church is arrogant about its tolerance. This is not just a Corinth problem—it's a problem in today's church as well. Sexual sin is no longer shocking in the culture, but the deeper issue is that it's no longer shocking in the church. Porn has become normalized. Cohabitation is assumed. Adultery is reframed as emotional escape. Lust is dismissed as human nature. Same‑sex behavior is being affirmed rather than confronted by churches that are more focused on appearing compassionate than being holy. We are treating as normal what God calls destructive. This is where Paul's words cut through our excuses. The church is never more vulnerable than when it stops being distinct. And if we lose our distinction, we lose our witness. We cannot rescue a world we're trying to resemble. Believers today must reclaim what Corinth forgot: holiness isn't harsh—holiness is healing. Calling sin what it is doesn't crush people; it frees them. Truth is not the enemy of compassion; truth is what makes compassion meaningful. Love doesn't celebrate what destroys people; love confronts what destroys people so they can be restored. If we stay silent, people stay trapped. If we stay passive, people stay wounded. If we tolerate what God calls sin, we slowly become a church shaped by culture instead of by Scripture. This moment demands courage. Courage to grieve what God grieves. Courage to stand for truth when it's unpopular. Courage to gently persuade others toward the life God blesses. Courage to be different in a world that demands sameness. We cannot change hearts, but we can point to the One who does. We cannot force holiness, but we can model it with conviction and compassion. You don't persuade people by blending in; you persuade them by living what they desperately need. This is why Paul urges the church to mourn rather than shrug, to confront rather than ignore, and to lead rather than imitate. The church must be the place where truth restores—not where sin hides. DO THIS: Ask God to reveal any area of sexual compromise or complacency in your life. Confess it honestly, and commit to helping others walk in truth with humility and courage. ASK THIS: Have I become numb to sexual sin—in myself or in the church? Where have I stayed silent when I should have stood for truth? How can I lovingly help someone move toward holiness? PRAY THIS: Father, open my eyes to anything that mirrors the world instead of Christ. Give me courage to stand for truth—even when it's costly—and compassion to help others walk in it. Make me a voice of clarity and a vessel of restoration. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Refiner"

So, let's dive right into the nitty-gritty of servant leadership, shall we? You know, it's all fun and games until you realize that a lack of accountability can turn those so-called “servant leaders” into untouchable demigods. We're not here for a morality contest, folks; we're all human, and that's the point. Today, we're breaking down the BE-COME framework—because, let's face it, who doesn't love a good acronym? It's all about starting fresh, connecting with our people, and keeping each other in check, all wrapped up in love. Because remember, the Church doesn't need flawless leaders; it needs ones who can own their mess-ups and show up for one another. So, stick around, and let's unpack how we can actually make accountability feel like a warm hug instead of a judgmental fist!Servant leadership is one of the most quoted leadership models in the Church. But if servant leadership is so central to our theology, why do we keep watching leaders fall?In this episode, we examine the dark side of servant leadership—not to tear down leaders, but to tell the truth so the Church can grow healthier.Drawing from a recent discipleship gathering called People of Grace, insights from John Wesley's class meetings, and the BE-COME discipleship framework taught by Sam Barber, this conversation explores why leadership without shared accountability eventually fails.We look at patterns behind recent ministry collapses, the role of isolation in leadership failure, and how churches can recover healthier structures rooted in grace, community, and accountability.Servant leadership works, but only when it is accountable.KEY THEMES• The difference between servant language and servant structure• Why isolation is the most common soil for leadership failure• John Wesley's model of mutual accountability• The BE-COME framework for discipleship• How the early church practiced shared leadership• Practical steps toward accountable leadership todaySCRIPTURE REFERENCESMark 10:42–45 — Whoever wants to be great must be servantJohn 13:1–17 — Jesus washes the disciples' feetMatthew 28:18–20 — The Great CommissionLuke 22:24–27 — Leadership as serviceActs 2:42–47 — Shared life in the early churchGalatians 6:1–2 — Bear one another's burdensJames 5:16 — Confess your sins to one anotherTakeaways:Wesley's concept of accountability in leadership isn't about control, it's about protection and growth.The BE-COME framework emphasizes the importance of community and personal accountability in servant leadership.Servant leadership without accountability can lead to disastrous outcomes, as seen in many high-profile ministry collapses.We can't ignore the reality that isolation distorts leadership and makes it easier for blind spots to grow.True accountability involves asking hard questions and having people who can challenge us without repercussions.The church needs leaders who are known and accountable, not just those who appear humble on the surface.Companies mentioned in this episode:Dynamic Church Planting InternationalGateway ChurchIHOP Kansas City
