In this episode Pastor Cindy talks about the importance of understanding God's Plans for your life. We won't always have perfect vision for what He has in store but we need to believe that His plans are to prosper us. His plan is to open doors for blessing and provision to carry out everything that He has called us to do. His plans include help from the angels and wisdom from the throne of heaven.  Scripture reference: Amos 9:13, Ezekiel 34:26, 1 Cor 16:9, Isaiah 55:11, Judges 6:11-16, Judges 6:22-27, Esther 4:13-14, Judges 7:13-14, Judges 7:15-19, Psalms 103:20.   Order your copy of Cindy's new book, NEW MOVES OF GOD Check out Cindy's TV show, CINDY STEWART LIVE.

Pastor Strader - Wednesday Night - 10.08.2025Holiness isn't bondage—it's sanctuary. Pastor teaches Kingdom Culture: justified by grace, then sanctified in heart and body as God's temple. Distinct from the world, protected by His standards, and patterned after His Word. Holiness is beautiful, powerful, and safe. (Ps 29:2; Rom 12:1–2; 1 Cor 3:16–17)“Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” (Ps. 29:2) In this teaching on Kingdom Culture, Pastor unpacks biblical holiness as sanctuary—a refuge, not bondage. From Genesis 2 to Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 3, and 2 Corinthians 7, he shows that God makes His people set apart—both inwardly (heart, motives) and outwardly (body, lifestyle)—because we are the temple of the Holy Ghost. Holiness isn't about earning love; it's our love-response to grace—justification (moment) leading to sanctification (process). God sets the pattern for His house, gives standards for our protection, and calls us to live distinctly from the world. Bottom line: Holiness is beautiful, powerful, and safe—Kingdom culture on display.Key Scriptures: Ps 29:2; Gen 2:3; Lev 11:45; Rom 12:1–2; 1 Cor 3:16–17; 1 Cor 6:19–20; 2 Cor 7:1; 2 Cor 6:17.

Junto con el monte Gerizim, era el lugar donde debían pronunciarse las bendiciones y maldiciones propias del pacto. Más concretamente, debía ser el lugar de las maldiciones (Deut. 11:29; 27:4, 13). Allí los israelitas debían situarse a ambos lados del arca, en presencia de los sacerdotes (Jos. 8:33). Un grupo se situó frente al monte Ebal y el otro frente al monte Gerizim como representación simbólica de las dos formas posibles de relacionarse con el pacto. Los sacrificios que se llevaban allí señalaban a Jesús, quien puso sobre sí todas las consecuencias resultantes de la deslealtad al pacto, para que quienes creyeran en él pudieran disfrutar de sus bendiciones (Gál. 3:13; 2 Cor. 5:21). ¿Por qué era necesario escribir una copia del pacto en un monumento visible para todos? (Ver Deut. 4:31; 6:12; 8:11, 14; 2 Rey. 17:38; Sal. 78:7). Los seres humanos tendemos a olvidar. Agrupamos las exigencias cada vez más desconcertantes de la vida cotidiana en segmentos de tiempo cada vez más breves. Inevitablemente, olvidamos cosas que no se repiten con la misma frecuencia o intensidad. En cada celebración de la Santa Cena tenemos una ocasión especial para volver a dedicarnos al Señor y renovar nuestro compromiso de pacto con él. Sería bueno percibir estas oportunidades no solo como ocasiones para consagrarnos nuevamente a nivel individual, sino también como oportunidades de renovación corporativa de nuestra lealtad a Dios. En una sociedad cada vez más individualista, debemos redescubrir el poder de pertenecer a una comunidad que comparte la misma cosmovisión o interpretación de la realidad, los mismos valores y creencias, y la misma misión. ¿Cuán fácil resulta olvidar al Señor y tratar de hacer las cosas con nuestras propias fuerzas y capacidad en medio del ajetreo de la vida? ¿Por qué es tan fácil hacerlo, sobre todo cuando todo va bien?

Lee Josué 8:30, 31; comparar con Deuteronomio 11:26-30; 27:2-10. En la época de los patriarcas, los altares que construían eran hitos que señalaban el camino que recorrían y se convertían en representaciones tangibles de su derecho a la tierra que Dios les había prometido. Ahora, al erigir un altar, los israelitas daban testimonio del cumplimiento de las promesas hechas a sus antepasados. En este caso, la construcción del altar fue el cumplimiento directo de las instrucciones dadas por Moisés (Deut. 11:26-30; 27:2-10). Josué 8:30 al 35 desempeña un papel importante en la configuración de todo el mensaje teológico del libro. Al vincular uno de los relatos más truculentos y violentos (la guerra) con algo totalmente distinto, una escena de reafirmación del pacto (la adoración), Josué nos remite a uno de los temas teológicos más importantes del libro, y que aparece en su mismo comienzo: Josué recibió el mandato divino de conducir a Israel a una vida de obediencia en armonía con el pacto (Jos. 1:7). El libro termina destacando ese rol de Josué (Jos. 24) A pesar de la importancia de la guerra y la conquista, hay algo aún más vital: la lealtad a los requerimientos de la Ley de Dios. La conquista era solo un paso en el cumplimiento del plan de Dios para Israel y la restauración de toda la humanidad. La fidelidad a los preceptos de la Torá constituye la cuestión última en el destino de la humanidad. Josué escribió la copia de la ley sobre gran-des piedras encaladas, distintas de las del altar (comparar con Deut. 27:2-8). Así, las piedras, que probablemente contenían los Diez Mandamientos, constituían un monumento aparte en las proximidades del altar y recordaban constantemente a los israelitas los privilegios y deberes implícitos en el pacto. Josué prefigura al Jehoshua (Jesús) del Nuevo Testamento, cuya misión consistía, entre otras cosas, en conducir nuevamente a la humanidad a la obediencia a Dios. Para lograr este objetivo, tuvo que entrar en conflicto con los poderes del mal. Su objetivo final era cumplir los requerimientos del pacto como nuestro representante: “Porque todas las promesas de Dios son ‘sí' en él. Por eso decimos ‘amén' en él, para gloria de Dios” (2 Cor. 1:20). ¿Qué prácticas espirituales equivalen hoy a la construcción de un altar en la antigüedad?

Real talk about three big questions: What is baptism, and do I need it to be saved? How should Christians think about “ranking” sins? And is every spiritual thing actually from the Spirit of God? In this message, we unpack saving grace (Eph 2:8–9), believers' baptism (Rom 6:4; Matt 28:19–20), humility over hierarchy, and how to test “spirituality” (1 John 4:1; 2 Cor 11:14–15).Next Steps:Get baptized: Text HCINFO to 97000 and follow the prompts.

Forgiveness, Resurrection, and Life1 Corinthians 15Message Slides For The bulletin in PDF form, click here. I believe in . . . the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting. Amen.HOME CHURCH QUESTIONS1. As we conclude our study through the Apostles' Creed, what has been a key takeaway you have found helpful? Has your view of creeds changed? Are there any new ways you have used the creed or plan to use the creed? 2. We believe in the forgiveness of sins (see 1 Cor 15:3 & 17). To experience forgiveness of sins, we have to be able to recognize our sin. What are some examples of how people ignore or downplay their sins? What are some examples of ways you ignore or downplay your sins? Why is it important we rightly understand our sin? 3. We talked about learning how to “show yourself the receipt” to be reminded there is forgiveness of sin. What are some ways you show yourself the receipt, and when have you needed to do this? What are some key verses we can use to remind ourselves of God's forgiveness? 4. We believe in the resurrection of the body. What passage stands out to you from 1 Cor 15 that addresses our future resurrection? Explain the passage. 5. What do you look forward to most about your resurrected, glorified body? Why is it important we think rightly about this future resurrection? 6. We believe in life everlasting. If someone were to ask you what eternal life in heaven will be like, how would you answer? How would you respond to someone who is concerned heaven will be missing something we are able to enjoy in this life? Are you concerned about this? 7. One day death will be defeated (see 1 Cor 15:26, 54-57). How should this truth impact the way we live now (see v.58)? In what specific area of your life should you live differently since we know death will be destroyed by Christ?Mission Highlight - The Sansi in India The Sansi people of northern India still bear the weight of a centuries-old stigma from when they were branded as criminals under British rule. Many live in poverty and isolation, mistrustful of outsiders and unaware of the gospel. With low literacy and few resources, they struggle to survive day to day. Pray that believers would reach them with compassion and that the love of Christ would break the walls of shame and rejection that have bound them for generations.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 10/26 38,172Giving For 11/02 33,119YTD Budget 623,077Giving 568,275 OVER/(UNDER) (54,802) Operation Christmas Child Collection Week is Almost Here!We are excited about your involvement as we work toward our goal of 8,200 boxes!

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Exodus 12:43-51, 13:3-16. Luke 22:14-23, 1 Cor 5:6-8.Sermon Notes:Introduction – Moving Forward by Looking BackIllustration: The Boys in the Boat — rowers face backward to move forward.God calls Israel to move forward from Egypt—but commands them to look back through Passover.In the same way, Jesus sends us forward in mission—but sustains us by remembering Him through Communion.Key Idea: We move forward in faith by looking back to God's saving work.I. Tactile TeachingGod teaches not just through words but through embodied practices.Sacrament: Outward sign of inward grace. Passover: Eating the lamb — tangible memory of deliverance.Communion: Bread and wine — tangible grace of Christ.Exodus 12:26–27 – Children ask, “What does this mean?”Learning by participation.Application: “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8)Simple signs, profound grace.II. Out with the OldFeast of Unleavened Bread—removing leaven as a symbol of leaving Egypt behind.God not only removes His people from Egypt but Egypt from His people.1 Corinthians 5:6–8 – “Cleanse out the old leaven… for Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed.”Application: Confession before Communion clears away the “old leaven” of sin. Communion humbles, not shames; we come needy and receptive to grace.III. Assurance of Forgiveness and LovePassover: Blood of the lamb caused God's judgment to pass over His people.Communion: Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, takes judgment on Himself.“This is my body, given for you.”Application:Communion assures us tangibly that God's love and forgiveness are real.“As real as this bread and wine are, so real is God's love for you.”Moving Forward by RememberingThe life of faith always moves forward—but draws strength from looking back.Personally: Remember God's past faithfulness as fuel for trust.As a Church: In transition, look back with gratitude, not nostalgia.The Cross stands as our enduring sign of God's faithfulness.Discussion Questions:Share about your experience with Communion.  Did you grow up taking Communion regularly? How do you currently experience grace through it?Compare and contrast the act of celebrating a birthday or anniversary with Communion.  What are the similarities? What are the differences?Why is confession important before Communion? Do you practice personal confession?If you feel guilty over some sin, should you not take Communion that week? Why or why not? What are some reasons to refrain from taking Communion?Do you ever struggle to believe God loves you or forgives you?  How might taking Communion help you?Extra ResourcesCheck out Sam Fornecker's Ridley Course - Jesus and the Jewish FeastsQuestions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

Lee Josué 5:10; Éxodo 12:6; Levítico 23:5; Números 28:16 y Deuteronomio 16:4, 6. La segunda actividad importante que precedió a la conquista fue la celebración de la Pascua. Esta tuvo lugar en la tarde del decimocuarto día del mes, en cumplimiento fiel de las instrucciones dadas por Dios. En tal ocasión, se hizo especial hincapié en el significado simbólico de la celebración de la Pascua. Los acontecimientos dirigidos por Josué reflejaban los del Éxodo. La Pascua evocaba la noche en que tuvo lugar la décima plaga (Éxo. 12), cuando el ángel del Señor dio muerte a todos los primogénitos de Egipto y perdonó a los israelitas. Luego se produjo la salida de Egipto, el cruce del Mar Rojo y la travesía por el desierto. A diferencia de ello, la historia de la segunda generación comenzó en el desierto, continuó con el cruce del Jordán, incluyó la circuncisión y la celebración de la Pascua, y condujo al momento crucial en que cabía esperar otra intervención milagrosa del Señor contra los enemigos de Israel, los habitantes de Canaán. Junto con todos los eventos previos, la celebración de la Pascua señaló el inicio de una nueva era en la historia de Israel. Además, mediante el símbolo del cordero sacrificado, la Pascua no solo recordaba la redención de los israelitas de la esclavitud egipcia, sino también señalaba su cumplimiento antitípico en ocasión de la muerte del Cordero de Dios (Juan 1:29, 36; 1 Cor. 5:7; 1 Ped. 1:18, 19), quien nos rescató de la esclavitud del pecado. En la Cena del Señor, antes de ofrecerse a sí mismo como sacrificio supremo, Jesús transformó la Pascua en un memorial de su muerte expiatoria (Mat. 26:26‑29; 1 Cor. 11:23-26). Sin embargo, la Pascua y la Cena del Señor señalan una realidad aún más gloriosa: el ingreso de la multitud redimida en la Canaán Celestial. En Apocalipsis, Juan describe esta “travesía” antitípica de los redimidos sobre el mar de cristal –el correlato tipológico del Mar Rojo y del Jordán–, ante el Trono de Dios (Apoc. 4:6; 7:9, 10) y su participación en la cena de bodas del Cordero, prefigurada tipológicamente por la Pascua y la Cena del Señor (Mat. 26:29; Apoc. 19:9). ¿De qué manera podemos tener siempre presente la realidad de la Cruz aunque no estemos celebrando la Cena del Señor? 

Kingdom Culture- Week 2November 09, 2025Teacher: Pastor David NunnKingdom Culture: Bringing Heaven to EarthHow the Kingdom Shapes CommunityText: John 13:34–35; Acts 2:42–47Welcome to week two of “Kingdom Culture: Bringing Heaven to Earth.”Last week Pastor Dave Brown spoke about the way Jesus kind of “flips the script” on what we tend to believe a blessed life looks like. A blessed life according to Matthew 5, is one of humility, mercy, gentleness, sorrow, and dependance on the LORD. It involves persecution, rather than accomplishment, fame, or wealth. I would suggest to you that bringing the kingdom of heaven to earth will never be accomplished through powerful political movements, or even through great spiritual awakenings. That is not to say that the Spirit of God doesn't miraculously move through great populations of people. There have been several such movements in Christian history, beginning with Pentecost which we'll discuss in a moment. However, these great spiritual awakenings are the exception, not the norm.The norm for bringing the Kingdom of God in earth as it is in heaven is for groups of committed disciples of Christ to live and witness to their faith in a way that touches the community around them. When the world sees disciples loving each other and loving their neighbors in the same way that Christ loves them, then unbelieving hearts and minds are refocused with a desire to understand the source of that love.That is a process that is not built on great preaching, exciting worship, or big evangelical events that draw huge crowds. It happens as believers build humble, loving relationships in their homes, neighborhoods, workplaces and communities, and through those relationships we witness to the life-changing presence of Christ in our lives. The key to growing a kingdom culture is welcoming and joining the presence of our King within our community.At its core, Christianity is not a religion based on rules of conduct, or commitment to a list of tenets of faith. Jesus never taught His disciples to go and establish a correct moral standard for rest of the world to follow. We are not called to be moral police for the world. We have enough trouble policing our individual, personal morality.Again, as Pastor Dave reminded us a few weeks ago we shouldn't be wasting time trying to manage sin; not our own, and certainly not someone else's sin. That's like trying to hide the darkness. It's not possible. Instead, we should just turn on the light. How do we do that?Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.When we give ourselves wholly to God, we invite Him to bless us with His presence, His power, and His holiness. When you invite the presence of God into your life, it flips on the light that overcomes darkness. Again, to cite the teaching of Pastor Dave Brown, repentance is not just a change of behavior, it's a change of direction. It's a moment-by-moment choice to follow Jesus, which is all He ever asks any of His disciples to do. When we do that, Jesus doesn't change our behavior. He changes our nature.2 Cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!This new creation is the result of “abiding in Christ.” Does that sound familiar? It should. We spent the months of September and October talking about abiding in Christ. It is only through the presence of Christ that any of us can experience this life-changing outcome.So, if this newly created nature comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ, what other relationships are formed as a result?The model prayer is “Your kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven.” So, we're talking about establishing God's Kingdom culture in a way that impacts the culture of the rest of the world.One person can't do that. It requires community. Even Jesus didn't try to change the world's culture by Himself. Many believed that He would. They expected Him to miraculously overthrow the Roman's, declare Himself King, and establish His reign on Earth. Instead, He recruited and taught a small community of believers who were committed to following Him. In the book of Acts, Luke shares the history of this group of 120 believers who, over the course of the first century, made a fundamental cultural impact on the entire Roman world, and beyond. In fact, the impact of that tiny congregation is still being felt 2000 years later, on the other side of the world in Redeemer Church in Tulsa, OK. That's the power of a community of people who are committed to following Christ wherever and however He leads.I would submit to you today that the power to alter a culture through the establishment of God's Kingdom happens only through a community of faith. It is never the result of a single individual, no matter how gifted he/she may be.Let's see how God moved through that first Christian community. After the ascension of Jesus, we are told in Acts 1:15 that about 120 followers of Christ were constantly gathering to pray as they followed Jesus' final instruction to wait in Jerusalem for the promised Holy Spirit to arrive. As they gathered on the Day of Pentecost the promise was fulfilled.Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.Note, they gathered as a community. They had been meeting and praying together for the last ten days. When the Holy Spirit came, they were together as a community, and how many of them were filled with the Holy Spirit? ALL of them. And together they began to speak to the people outside their gathering place. They raised such a ruckus that a crowd gathered to see what was happening. At this point Peter stood up and addressed the crowd. Now you may say, “Look! Peter's just one man, acting on his own.”Acts 2:14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd:Peter wasn't alone. He stood with His fellow apostles, and they stood with the support of the other 108 believers who were witnessing to the crowd.People often note the courage of Peter on that day. This was the man who denied that he even knew Christ on the eve of the crucifixion. Now he's standing up and telling this massive crowd not only was Jesus the prophesied Messiah, but he accused the crowd of crucifying their Messiah. In fact, He ended his message with these words.Acts 2:36 “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”We wonder what happened? What changed in Peter to give him the courage that was lacking just a few weeks earlier, and of course we point out that He was filled with power of the Holy Spirit. I don't want to, in any way, lessen the importance of the Holy Spirit in Peter's courageous preaching, but I would suggest that there is at least one other important factor: Peter was NOT alone. In the garden outside the house of the high priest none of Peter's fellow disciples were present. When he preached at Pentecost he stood as one of twelve apostles who were supported by a community of 120, who had spent the last 10 days in constant prayer together. Can you see the strength and power of a community, even a small one, when they stand together to preach the gospel to the masses who gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate Pentecost that day? Had Peter been alone, he would not have been able to even get the attention of that crowd. The Holy Spirit worked through the empowerment of the entire group. Not just one or an impowered few. ALL were empowered, and ALL went into the streets to preach the gospel.So, what happened next? At the end of the day around 3000 people were added to their number. That was an extraordinary day. A powerful movement of the Spirit that brought thousands into the fellowship of the church. We recognize that as an extraordinary day. As I said earlier, that is NOT the normal flow of Kingdom growth. It was an exceptional outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the entire community of faith. Again, it was a community movement. It wasn't Peter acting alone. God chose to work through a community. That's what He always does. Look what happened next.Acts 2:42-47 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.In this passage, I believe we see what the norm for the growth of Kingdom culture in the world should be. Note the verbs that describe how this brand-new church acted:They met together in the temple courts. This was the only place large enough for 3000 people to meet, but they weren't just meeting. The Greek word used here actually means they continued together in one accord: as one mind. What do you think they were doing together in the temple? I think they were learning how to follow Christ.They devoted themselves:  Again, the literal translation is “steadfastly continued.” What were they continuing in doing?  They spent time and effort, listening to, learning, so that they could follow the teaching of the Apostles. This is most likely why they met together in the temple. Like Jesus, the apostles were using this common gathering place to teach the people. These new converts were devoted to gathering daily and continuously learning and following the apostles teaching.They were also devoted (steadfastly continued) to fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. Where do you think that took place?They broke bread: In their homes. Breaking bread refers to sharing communion together as Jesus had taught the apostles. They met together in homes, ate together, and shared communion together with glad and sincere hearts.So, they met together in the temple, not every Sunday, but every day, and they also gathered in homes sharing meals and fellowship and praying together in smaller groups throughout the week. This was not a “see you next Sunday” kind of congregational event. These people actually spent time together during the week. They were not just devoted to learning and following the teaching of the apostles, they were devoted to each other. They were devoted to being together with one another.We in the ECC pride ourselves on our devotion to God's Word. Some like to refer to us as people of the book. That's good. The church in Jerusalem shows that devotion to knowing and following the teaching of Christ is fundamental to our spiritual formation, but that's not enough. They also devoted themselves to one another. What was the evidence of that devotion?In verse 44 we are told that the believers were together and had everything in common. The Greek word for believers is actually a verb meaning “having believed.” So Young's literal translation says,“all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common.”Because they shared a common, foundational belief in Jesus Christ as their LORD, they saw each other as a family, holding everything in common. They didn't use the pronouns my/mine, but our/ours. One of the hallmarks of a functional family is that they share. Even from a legal point of view family property is held jointly. So, these 3000 new converts didn't just accept Jesus as LORD, they were adopted and assimilated into a brand-new family; a family built upon their shared commitment to Jesus as LORD.So, they were devoted to learning and following the teachings of Jesus from the apostles, and they were devoted to each other; sharing with one another, caring for one another, finding opportunities to simply be together, share a meal, share communion with other members of the family. What was the result of this two-fold devotion?v. 47 And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.That's how kingdom culture spreads through a lost world. God works through His family. God has given us three fundamental tools to guide us through our spiritual formation. He has given us His Spirit, His Word, and His Church. What we see in the example of this first church is that all three are essential to both personal spiritual formation and kingdom growth. Too many of us who profess Christ as our LORD tend to neglect the importance of personal devotion to our community of faith. Let me just put it to you as simply and plainly as I can. If you aren't devoted to this family that we call church, it's because you aren't fully devoted to Christ.Jesus, Himself said, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:35

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Turn your Bibles to 1 Corinthians chapter 3 verses 1 through 9.1 Corinthians chapter 3 verses 1 through 9.It's time to grow up.Have you ever thought that about someone else?You ever thought that about a neighbor, a coworker?Have you ever said that to someone else?To a friend, to a family member?And whenever you think or say that sentence, it always comes with a sense of frustration,a sense of disbelief that someone could be so immature, that someone could be so childish.I can distinctly remember a time where I thought and said that exact sentence.It's time to grow up.It was years ago as I was sick on the couch watching my favorite sick day show, Dr. Phil.And don't judge me for my favorite sick time show.You probably don't have one that's much better.Maybe it's helped me with counseling over the years. I don't really know.But I'll never forget this one particular episode as Dr. Phil interviewed a 24-year-old manwho considered himself 18 months old.He was an adult baby.He slept in a massive custom crib.He had customized onesies in his closet.He wore diapers and he ate baby food.And Dr. Phil asked him, "Do you think you'll ever grow past this age?"Is that decent? I've been working on that all week. Is that okay?My wife doesn't think it's really good, so I guess it's not.Pastor Jeff is encouraging me, though.And then Brett said, "I don't think so. I've done a lot of research.And this is the age that I feel, 18 months."I was so disturbed by Brett's delusions.I was so bothered by his contentment with never growing upand the unwillingness of his loved ones to call him out.As I was sick on that couch, I wanted to climb through the TVand join Dr. Phil in saying, "It's time to grow up."Do you know what's even sadder to me than Brett's childish behavior?The childish lifestyle of many Christians.Adult babies are in every church.Adult babies are men and women who are content to never grow up.Content to never mature.They are committed to staying right where they areand never making any progress.So many churches are content with pampering these adult babies,catering to their desires, and baby-proofing the Bibleto avoid any sharp edges or offensive truths.So many pastors are committed to playing along with people's delusionsrather than lovingly calling them out.Thankfully, the apostle Paul did not have that commitment.He had a much different commitment to the Corinthian church,who also had an adult baby problem.Paul was 100% committed to this church's unity and purity.He had no interest in playing along with their delusions.He was unwilling to clean up their toys,snap on their onesies, and tuck them into their adult cribs.He was unafraid to burst their bubble and to lovingly call them outbecause their behavior was unacceptable to Godand it was damaging to the entire church.Paul was bold in calling out the Corinthians and saying,"Okay, it's time to get your big boy pants on.It's time to grow up."And this message from Paul wasn't just for the Corinthiansalmost 2,000 years ago.This message from Paul is for Harvest Bible Chapel today.And I really don't want you to think,"Oh, man, I wish so-and-so was here.He or she really needs to grow up."Listen, that person isn't here, but you are.You really need to hear this word from the Lord.In some ways or in many ways, you need to grow up.I need to grow up.So before we continue any further, let's go to the Lord and ask for His help.Please pray for me that will faithfully proclaim God's wordand I will pray for you that you will faithfully receive it.Father, we just celebrated children in our church.Children are a gift. Children are a blessing.The Lord, when we as adults act like children, there's a huge problem.Lord, I admit to you that I can be an adult baby.I can be childish.And I know the same is true for every single person in this room.Help us to stop thinking that this is for somebody else.This is a word for each and every one of us.Maybe we'd walk out of this room as different peopleand we'd be put on the path to maturity.We ask and pray all these things in Jesus' name.Amen.It's time to grow up.Reason number one, because your child is thinking holds you back.Your child is thinking holds you back.In last week's passage, the Apostle Paul reminded usthat everyone who is in Christ has been given the mind of Christ.That sounds really awesome, doesn't it?But what in the world does that mean?What is the mind of Christ?God's Word.You have been given God's Word.You don't have to wonder what God thinks about anything.You don't have to wonder what God thinks about himself, salvation,or how you should live your life.He tells you in His Word.He not only gives you His Word,but He also gives you the Holy Spirit to help you understand this Wordand help you to understand how you apply it to your life.God doesn't tell you all that you could know,but He does tell you all that you need to know.Those who are spiritual are able to understand spiritual truths.Well, great. Thanks, Paul. I appreciate that.Here is a butt coming in chapter 3, verse 1.Listen to what Paul says."But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people,but as people of the flesh as infants in Christ."At first glance, it seems like Paul is sayingthat there are no Christians in Corinth.This church is only made up of unsaved peoplewho have no true life and no true relationship with God.But that's not what Paul is saying at all.There are true believers in Corinth,and there are two context clues in this versethat show us that Paul is talking to Corinthian Christians.First of all, Paul calls them brothers.Paul isn't Hulk Hogan. He isn't called everybody brother.That was just for Pastor Jeff.Paul only calls his spiritual siblings brothers and sisters.This is a term of affection.Paul isn't coming in hot saying,"Okay, idiots, time to shut up and grow up."That's not what he's doing.He's not putting them in a headlock and giving them noogiesuntil they do what he tells them to do.No, he's coming in with an arm around their shoulder.Brothers, sisters, I love you.You're my family. Jesus Christ loves you,but you're not acting like you love Jesus.You're not acting like Christians.You're not acting like you have the Holy Spirit within you.You are letting your sinful desires,you are letting your flesh control you.And secondly, Paul calls them by another name.Paul calls them infants in Christ.So they are in Christ.They are saved. Their sins have been forgiven,but they are stuck in their immaturity.They are standing still.And Paul is saying to them,"I want to have an adult conversation with you,but all you can do is goo goo, gaga, and spit up all over yourself."What is the proof of their baby-ness?Verse chapter 2 tells us it's their spiritual diet.Let's read verse 2."I fed you with milk, not solid food,for you were not ready for it,and even now you are not yet ready."When my kids were born,I didn't throw them a pizza party in the delivery room.I didn't try to serve them a hot slice of pizzawith extra cheese and pepperoni.Why not?Because they were not ready for it.Their systems couldn't handle that kind of meal.When we brought Sam and then years later,Emmy home from the hospital,I didn't try to force-feed them ribeye steak and corn on the cob.Again, why not?Because they could not handle it.They were not ready for it.Newborns cannot eat corn on the cob, pizza and steak.Newborns cannot eat solid food.Babies can only be nourished by milk.But that was years ago.Let's talk about now.Sam is six years old and Emmy is almost four.Should my kids be able to handle pizza, corn on the cob and steak now?Why is that?Because they're older.They should be ready for solid food.If they're not, there is something seriously wrong within themthat Kate and I should not ignore.The Corinthian church should be ready for the solid food of God's Word,but they're not.There is something seriously wrong within them that Paul cannot ignore.After years and years of being Christians,the Corinthians are still only drinking from the milk of the Bible basics.Their diet is way off because they have no desire to move forward.And to be clear, new believers do need the milk of the Bible basics.They do need the spiritual ABCs.God is holy, man is sinful.Jesus Christ came to die on the cross,and everyone who trusts in Him will be forgiven.Jesus loves me this I know for the...Yes, amen to all these truths.We do touch on these essentials every single week, don't we?These are the foundation of our faith.But do you agree there's way more to the story?There's way more to know.There's way more to learn.At the beginning of your spiritual life,you must be fed like a spiritual newborn.But as time goes on, your diet should progressso that you can progress,that you can grow in your faith and make improvements.I'm not a dietitian by any stretch of the imagination,but to grow big and strong physically,you need a certain calorie intake.You need to eat from a wide variety of food groups.To grow big and strong spiritually,you need to consume a significant amount of God's Word.You need to have a balanced understandingof the Old Testament and the New Testament.You shouldn't say, "You know what? That book isn't really for me."No, they're all for you.All 66 books of the Bible are essential for your growth.You should make the attempt to have a balanced understandingof the major topics of Scripture,the character and attributes of God,the person and work of Jesus Christ,sanctification, the church, end times,and on and on the list goes.As Paul says in 2 Timothy 3, verses 16 through 17,"All Scripture, not just some, not just most,all Scripture is breathed out by God,and profitable for teaching, for reproof,for correction, for training and righteousness,that the man of God may be complete,equipped for every good work."It takes the whole Bible to make you a whole person.You should have an appetite for the solid food of Scripture.Your knowledge of and your love for God's Wordshould increase day by day, week by week, month by month,year by year, and again, if it's not, there's a problem.Your desire to obey God's Word should increase over time.If you truly have the mind of Christ,you should love the thoughts of Christ.And the author of Hebrews explains the long-term side effectsof only drinking milk.He says this, "For though by this time you ought to be teachers,you need someone to teach you againthe basic principles of the oracles of God.You need milk, not solid food.For everyone who lives on milk is unskilledin the Word of righteousness since he is a child."I'm going to be very blunt for the next few minutes.I've been praying for this section of the sermon all week longbecause I want you to receive what I'm about to offerwith the intention I give it.This comes from love and concern.Some of you have only been drinking milk for years,and it shows.Some of you are still spiritual newbornsand not spiritual adults,even though you've followed Christ for years,maybe even decades.Some of you should be ready for the solid food of Scripture,but you're not.Some of you should be ready to teach the Bibleback in Harvest Academy, but you're not.Some of you should be able to pray in front of other believers,lead prayer groups to prayer services, but you're not.Some of you men should be elder qualified by nowand ready to help shepherd this flock and shoulderthe responsibility, but you're not.If I have described you on any level,please understand I'm not trying to scold you.I'm not trying to push you down like the Apostle Paul.I only have the desire to encourage you and to pull you uplike the Apostle Paul.I want to put a shoulder around you, brother, sister,God has so much more for you in store.If you'll just take a step forward and make progress by His grace.Don't stay where you are.Don't be content to always drink milk feast on this book.Do not be content to always swim in the shallow end of the gospelwith your floaties on.Dive in, explore, challenge yourself.Do not be content with riding with spiritual training wheelsyour entire life.Ask God to give you a sense of confidenceso that you can ride with confidenceand help other people to ride with confidence.Repent of your laziness.Turn from your apathy to the things of God.Ask the Lord to give you a greater hunger for His word,a greater motivation to run after holiness,a greater commitment to the strength of this church.After service, ask a pastor or elder to pray for you.Ask a mature member of this congregationor a godly friend to help you and to keep you accountable.It's time to grow up because your childish thinking holds you backfrom being who God has created you to beand doing what God has called you to do.It's time to grow up.Reason number two, because your childish behavior hurts others.Your childish behavior hurts others.Paul goes on to give another exampleof the Corinthian sinful immaturity in verse three."For you are still of the flesh.For while there is jealousy and strife among you,are you not of the fleshand behaving only in a human way?"Childish thinking always leads to childish behavior.And the childishness of the Corinthianscan be summed up in two words, jealousy and strife.Jealousy is a serious case of dissatisfactionwith what God has given to you.You deserve more.You deserve better.You deserve whatever you want.When you are jealous of what someone else has,you cannot be content with what you have.If you are jealous of someone else's success,you cannot celebrate that person's success.Strife is needless conflict.Strife leads to dumb divisionthat can and should be avoided.Jealousy is an attitude,and strife is the aftermath.Jealousy is the root,and strife is the result.No one needs to teach you how to be jealous.No one needs to show you how to create strife.These sins are inherent within each and every one of us.If you don't believe me,just go back to Harvest Academy for a few minutes.You will see jealousy and strife soonerrather than later.Why does Suzy have that toy in her eye?I hate Tommy and Joey because they never let me play with them.I'm not inviting Ruthie to my birthday partybecause she didn't invite Betty to hers.You may laugh at that,but the adults in the church are not much better than the kids, are they?Listen, you can be jealous.You.Maybe you are envious of someone else in this room.That person who has the marriage that you want.That parent who has more under control kids than you do.That person who seems to be more talented than you.You should be celebrating and rejoicingand God's good gifts to that brother or sister,but instead you resent them.And you want them to be knocked down a few pegs to feel how you feel.You can be jealous.You can cause strife and factions in the church.You have a serious bone to pick with the leadership at Harvest.Instead of coming to the elders directly, you start whispering.You start spreading misinformation.You start spreading rumors.You are offended by someone else.Instead of going to that person directly,you go to other people to recruit them to your side.And you may say, "Oh, I'm just doing this to warn people."No, you're not.You're doing this to the other people who will like you more than that person.Just be honest about it.Maybe you enjoy getting into fights.You enjoy making a big deal out of nothing.You lace up your boxing gloves and get into worthless, pointless battles with people.Are you jealous right now?Are you causing strife right now?If you are jealous, if you are stirring up trouble,you're just acting like an adult babyand not a mature son or daughter of God.If you are stirring up trouble, if you have sinned against someone else,it's time to swallow your pride and admit what you've done.Kids sweep things under the rug and ignore it.Adults expose sin and confess it.It's time to grow up because your childish behavior hurts others,especially the people you love.It's time to grow up.Reason number three, because your childish favoritism highlights man and not God.Because your childish favoritism highlights man and not God.Jealousy and strife at Corinth played out in a specific way,and it led to people playing favorites with specific leaders.Let's see what Paul has to say about this in verse 4.For when one says, "I follow Paul,"and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not being merely human?Pastor Jeff preached on this favoritism controversy a few weeks ago,but Paul talks about it again, so what are we going to do?We're going to talk about it again.Paul was the one who planted the Corinthian church during his second missionary journey.And he was there for about a year and a half ministering, preaching, pastoring.And some people had a soft spot for Paul.They were nostalgic for him because he was the one who led them to Christ.After Paul left, Apollos comes to town, and he's a much better speaker,a much more dynamic preacher, so many people prefer Apollos.And this history of favoritism led to both men having their own personal fan clubs,even though both men do not want their own personal fan clubs.In modern day terms, there is a Paul fan page on Facebook,and there's an opposing Apollos fan page on Facebook.There are trading cards with these men's faces and pastoral stats.There are YouTube channels that highlight and spell out their sermons on why they're so great.But Paul says this kind of favoritism is childish.It is not the way of heaven. It is the way of this world.He's saying, "If you say I follow Paul, or I follow Apollos, grow up.You're acting like a child. You need to cut it out."And Paul gives a reason why he and Apollos are not worthy of these cult followings in verse 5.What then is Apollos? What is Paul?Servants through whom you believed as the Lord assigned to each.Paul and Apollos are not celebrities. They're not superstars.They're not mega church pastors. Who are they according to this verse?Servants.This word can also be translated as table waiters.Waiters do not cook the food. They simply deliver the food.Busboys simply clean up.Paul and Apollos are just lowly busboys in God's restaurant.Last time I checked, there are no busboy enthusiasts.There are no busboy trading cards. There are no busboy YouTube channels.When was the last time you had a restaurant and thought to yourself,"Man, this table is spotless. I don't even need a plate. I can just eat right off of it.I need to go find the busboy and congratulate him."Has that ever happened to you?Paul is saying, "I'm just a busboy. I'm not worthy of anything that you want to give me."He's knocking himself off the pedestal that the Corinthians have put him on.He's demystifying Apollos and putting him in his place too.They are just servants of the Lord. They are servants of the Corinthian church.But Paul isn't done lowering himself yet.He and Apollos are not just busboys.They are also farm hands, according to verses 6 and 7."I planted Apollos watered, but God gave the growth."So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God gives the growth.I've never farmed before.I've never even kept a garden before in my entire life.The last time I can remember planting a seed was in first grade with that cup on the window sill,that cup of dirt.I'm not a farmer, but I do know a farmer in our congregation.I spoke to Jesse Hogan last week and I asked him,"How much credit can you take for a good harvester crop?"Do you want to know what farmer Jesse said?None.All I can do is plant, pray for good weather, and trust that God will bring the growth.Trust the results to God.Jesse is a successful farmer because he understands his place in the process.He entrusts the results to God.He knows his limitations.Paul is successful as a pastor, as an evangelist, as a church planner,because he knows his place in the process.He trusts the results to God.Paul knows his limitations.Paul is saying, "I planted the church in Corinth."Paul has watered it with his faithful preaching,but who alone gets the credit?Who alone gets the glory for the growth?God and God alone.Once again, Paul and Paulos are nothing special.They are just farmhands who plant and water the seeds of the gospel.That's it.Paul goes on to give you another reason why he and Paulos shouldn't be pitted against each otherin verse 8."He who plants and he who waters are one,and each will receive his wages according to his labor."There is no reason for Paul and Paulos to competebecause they are on the same team.They are one.I've already admitted that I'm not a farmer,but I may be a better farmer than I am an athlete.Some of you were laughing too hard at that.But I did play basketball from sixth to twelfth grade,and I can remember distinct games where every man in our team was out for himself.Every man was trying to show off.Every man was trying to show everyone how great he was.And that never led to victory because we forgot that we were one.We forgot that we were on the same team.I can also remember other games when we did come together as a cohesive whole.Everyone wasn't trying to win for himself, trying to win for the entire team.In those moments, we were one.We were on the same team, which often led to victory.We are on the same team at Harvest Bible Chapel.We should be pulling together to be one in the Lord,rather than pulling apart to try and be special on our own.On my own, I am a zero.On your own, you are a zero, but together we are one.Our strength comes from our unity.Recently, a member of our church paid the highest compliment to this churchthat made my entire year.She said, "To be honest, I don't really care who preaches on a Sunday morning,because I know, I trust that everyone who preaches at Harvestwill be faithful to God's Word."That is the goal.That woman gets it.That is what Paul is talking about in this verse.It's not about the servant.It's about the one we serve.It's not about the bus boy.It's about the one who owns all things.It is not about the farmhand.It's about the only one who gives the growth.Playing favorites in the church is stupid.It is immature.It is childish foolishness to try to figure out who's the bestand who's the most important.We all have a role to play.No one's gifting or role is more important than another.And according to Paul, each worker will be paid by God Himself,and God never stiffs His employees.He always gives infinitely satisfying rewards.So please don't try to reward yourselfby seeking after the affirmation and praise of others.Wait diligently for the rewards of God,because they are coming.Adult babies live for the moment,but godly servants live for the long haul.It's time to grow up and start highlighting God and not man.It's time to grow up.Final reason, because your childish selfishness hides your identity.Because your childish selfishness hides your identity.Let's wrap up with verse 9."For we are God's fellow workers.You are God's field, God's building.I truly enjoy partnering with all of my coworkers,Missy, Gillian, Ashley, Pastor Rich, Pastor Jeff.I love all my coworkers,but do you know which coworker I enjoy working with the most?God.Pastor Jeff is a great boss,but do you know who's an even greater boss?The Lord.So many pastors fall into sinand disqualify themselves from ministrybecause their childish selfishness hides their identity.They think they're the ones making things happen.They think that the church growth is happening because of them.They're in charge. They're running the show.And they end up becoming bullies.They end up becoming tyrants.They forget they work with and for the God of the universe.Those pastors did not shed their own bloodon the cross for the members of their church.Their churches do not belong to them.Their churches belong to Christ.You do not belong to me.You do not belong to Justin Cady, Brian Beehe, Pastor Rich,or even Pastor Jeff.If you have trusted in Christ, you belong to Him.He's the one who shed his blood for you.He is the one who died for you.You are God's field.You are God's building.That is who you are.Do not let your childish selfishness hide your identity any longer.Do not try to find your identityin what the world says to find it in.The world will tell youthat you are the maker of your own meaning.Your worth is found in what you achieve.But that is not what Paul is saying in this verse.You are not a precious snowflakewhose every one preference should be met.Your story is not the main event of this world.You are not the point of anything.You are just a small part of the field that God is cultivating.You are just a single brickin the beautiful structure that God is building.You are a part of the church of Jesus Christwhich will never ever pass away.It's time to grow upand stop believing that life is all about youbecause it's not.It's about the Lordwho will do great things in and through you.It's time to grow upand start remembering who you areand whose you are.Some of you in this room do not belong to Christ.You are not even an infant in Christbecause you have not been born again.You are not a part of God's field.You are not a part of God's building.You are just a lonely seed.You are just a discarded brick.But your identity will change in an instantif you give your life to Jesus.If you trust in Him as your Saviorwho died on the cross for your sins.If you trust in Him as the Lord of your lifewho has every right to tell you what to do.If you place your faith and trust in Christ,you will be adopted into His family.You will be planted into God's field.You will be slid into the perfect spot in this churchthat is reserved just for you.You will be placed on the path to mature adulthood in Christ.The biggest temptation for a sermon like thisis to feel the sting of conviction in the momentand then do nothing with that conviction once you get home.But do you know what's the most childish thing of all?Knowing that something needs to changeand then doing nothing about it.Please do not fall into that childish temptation.Choose to put away your childish thinking.Choose to put away your childish behavior.Choose to put away your childish favoritism.Choose to put away your childish selfishness.Brothers and sisters, it's time to mature.It's time to grow up.But you can't grow up on your own, can you?You need God's helpbecause He is the expert on growth, not you.There are still two blanks left on your sheet that you need to fill in.These are a prayer to the Lord.God, help me to grow up.Today I need to stop blank and start blank.I have no idea what you need to fill in those blanks with, but you do.And so is God.Maybe it's God, help me to grow up today and He has stopped making excusesand start reading my Bible every morning at 7 a.m.Maybe it's God, help me to grow up today.I need to stop being jealous of so-and-so, it's small groupand start being content with what you have given me.It could be God, help me to grow up todayor maybe God, help me to grow up today.I need to stop sitting on the church sidelinesand start serving at harvest today.Don't be vague because vague goals lead disappointing results.Be practical, be specific,because that will lead to encouraging results.Take a few minutes to fill in those blanks.Take a few moments to go to the Lord, to confess sin,to ask for His help.Ask Him to empower you to change.Ask for His help so that you can be empowered.Take steps to grow up.Fill in those blanks and spend some time in the Lord with prayer.Father, I thank you for your immense patience with us.I know as a father I can be so impatient with my children at times,but Lord, you are so long suffering.But all of us in this room can be childish.All of us in this room can be immatureor may today be a brand new day of transformation.May today be a day where a first step is taken,where growth happens by your grace and by the power of your spirit.Lord, may we not just be convicted in this moment,be convicted the rest of today, the rest this weekand the rest of our lives seek after you and your Word,to pursue after the unity of the churchand to fit into our exact spot in the church.Lord, I thank you for what your Holy Spirit has done this morningand I thank you in advance for what He will do.I ask all these things in Jesus' name, amen.

Paragraph 1 The supper of the Lord Jesus was instituted by him the same night wherein he was betrayed, to be observed in his churches, unto the end of the world, for the perpetual remembrance, and showing to all the world the sacrifice of himself in his death,1 confirmation of the faith of believers in all the benefits thereof, their spiritual nourishment, and growth in him, their further engagement in, and to all duties which they owe to him; and to be a bond and pledge of their communion with him, and with each other.2 1 1 Cor. 11:23–26 2 1 Cor. 10:16–17,21 Paragraph 2 In this ordinance Christ is not offered up to his Father, nor any real sacrifice made at all for remission of sin of the quick or dead, but only a memorial of that one offering up of himself by himself upon the cross, once for all;3 and a spiritual oblation of all possible praise unto God for the same.4 So that the popish sacrifice of the mass, as they call it, is most abominable, injurious to Christ's own sacrifice the alone propitiation for all the sins of the elect. 3 Heb. 9:25–26,28 4 1 Cor. 11:24; Matt. 26:26–27 Paragraph 3 The Lord Jesus hath, in this ordinance, appointed his ministers to pray, and bless the elements of bread and wine, and thereby to set them apart from a common to a holy use, and to take and break the bread; to take the cup, and, they communicating also themselves, to give both to the communicants.5 5 1 Cor. 11:23–26, etc. Paragraph 4 The denial of the cup to the people, worshipping the elements, the lifting them up, or carrying them about for adoration, and reserving them for any pretended religious use, are all contrary to the nature of this ordinance, and to the institution of Christ.6 6 Matt. 26:26–28, 15:9, Exod. 20:4–5

Send us a textThis is a rebroadcast of our 08/24/24 program.GUEST: SCOTT ANIOL, Executive VP and Editor-in-Chief G3 MinistriesThere is no more important issue and pursuit than worshipping God. It's more important than who will be our next president, more important than world peace, more important than your health, financial security, and whatever else we treasure.Scripture makes the primacy of worship clear:  King David prayed, “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all” (1 Chronicles 29:11).Paul wrote, “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Cor 10:31).King Solomon exhorted, “The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear [reverence, awe] God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)Psalms, the songbook of the Bible, closes this way: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” (Psalm 150:6)God created man as a worshipful being. We can see this because everyone worships someone or something. If God isn't worshipped, a false god will be substituted—person, pleasure, possession, position, popularity, power, to name just a few.God, as Creator, Sustainer, Savior, and Sovereign over all, deserves our worship. Our peace, purpose, and pleasure in life is directly proportional to how rightly and authentically we worship the Creator.Our guest this weekend is Scott Aniol, Executive VP and Editor-in-Chief G3 Ministries. G3, which stands for “Gospel—Grace—Glory”, is a Christian organization that aims to strengthen the local church through conferences, resources, online articles, podcasts, expository preaching workshops, biblical worship workshops, and local church-based curriculum for Sunday school and small groups.”Scott Aniol will join us to discuss “The Primacy of Worship”. He explains in a five-part column series corresponding to each of the “five solas” of the Reformation that worship is even more important than salvation, for salvation is the entry point to proper worship of God.This program aims to be a helpful for individual Christians and also the church, for worship includes but is far more encompassing than music alone.-------------------Manger in Danger for a donation of $30 or moreRELATED ARTICLES:The Primacy of Worship Scott Aniol's series on the 5 Solas of WorshipScripture AloneGrace Alone in Christ AloneFaith AloneTo the Glory of God Alone

Ryan launches a multi-part series, Twisted Passions, addressing homosexuality and same-sex attraction from a biblical framework. He establishes why pastors should clearly preach what Scripture says while also equipping the church to counsel and care for strugglers, and he outlines upcoming topics: Is this sin “different,” are people “born this way,” and how do we raise kids in a sexualized culture? The aim is clarity, compassion, and confident hope in Christ for real victory.Topics DiscussedWhy churches must preach plainly on homosexuality (OT & NT texts)Common progressive rebuttals and why they don't hold up biblically (e.g., “love = affirmation,” misuse of John 8)Word study: ἀρσενοκοίτης and Paul's clarity in 1 Cor 6 / 1 Tim 1Beyond the pulpit: moving from denunciation to discipleship and counseling in the local churchShepherding kids in a perverted culture; building a proactive family planInviting listener questions/testimonies for future episodesKey TakeawaysScripture speaks clearly; pastors should, too—without hatred or compromise.“Love the sinner; hate the sin” isn't a cliché—Jesus says, “Go and sin no more.”Paul's terminology intentionally names male-with-male practice; it isn't vague.Churches must pair clear preaching with hands-on help for real people.Parents need an intentional, early plan to disciple children amid cultural lies.Ready to download the Cord App?

The Bible shows we're in a conflict, and Satan wants you to fail. Chip reveals how to be victorious over the Evil One by using the supernatural weapons God provides to protect you and your loved ones. Fight back!Introduction: The South Pacific after WWII was wonThe victory had been won, but battles continued and lives were lost; the bullets were real.The same is true spiritually:Satan was defeated at the Cross.Sin's penalty was paid for all people for all time.Sin's power was broken.Yet, Satan and his host of fallen angels engage in guerilla warfare to discourage, deceive, divide, and destroy God's people and God's program.Believers are commanded to equip and prepare themselves in the strength of the Lord and in His mighty power to stand firm against the enemy's schemes, repel his multi-faceted attacks, and engage and defeat him in specific battles.Four keys to spiritual victoryWe must become AWARE of the Invisible War.We must learn to APPROPRIATE God's protection for daily living.We must learn to ENGAGE the enemy with supernatural weapons.We must utilize God's means of deliverance when spiritually attacked.How can you prepare yourself for satanic attack?Having girded your loins with TRUTHHaving put on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESSHaving shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of PEACEApplicationKnow and understand the content of the Gospel. -1 Cor. 15:1–5; Eph. 2:1–9Know the basis for your eternal security and the assurance of your salvation. Security – Rom. 8:38–39; Eph. 1:13–14. Assurance – 1 Jn. 5:11-13Faith is based on facts, not feelings.Sharing your faith is one of the most powerful faith-builders available, often “the best defense is a good offense.”Broadcast ResourceThe Invisible War ResourcesMessage NotesAdditional Resource MentionsThe Invisible War Small Group OfferConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

The solution for the fallen condition of the human race is not rehabilitation; it's recreation! Only in Christianity is this offered. “If anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION” (2 Cor. 5:17). In the New Covenant, God gives His offspring “a new spirit” and a “new heart.” From that point forward the “inward man” is “renewed” (made new all over again) every moment of every day. Wow!

Welcome to the Podcast of Southwest Bible Fellowship in Tempe, Arizona. WHO ARE WE? • We are a group of people who are committed to living the grace life as set forth by the apostle of the Gentiles, the Apostle Paul. • We come together to study our Bibles, and yes, we believe we have God's perfect Word in the King James Bible. It and it alone is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice! • We do not come together and study our Bibles for the intent of being smarter than others. We understand that knowledge for the sake of knowledge is purely vain and serves no Godly purpose. • We do come together and study our Bibles for the intent of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:10) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that we have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. (Galatians 2:20) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that because Jesus Christ shed His blood for us and we should not live for ourselves but for Him, who died for us and rose again. (2 Cor. 5:15) • We do not claim to have attained to these lofty goals, but we press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

11/5 Week 10: Church – Eph. 4:1-6; 1 Peter 2:9-10; 1 Cor. 12:12-13Teaching by Elijah Dally, Mark Christian, Jim Dalrymple

Here's a good word for all those self-help strategies.  The websites and the bookstores are crowded with a million crafted plans for how to lose unwanted weight, get control of personal finances, or marry the person of our dreams. Millions of pounds of body fat have been shed; ten million family budgets have been strengthened and secured—and at least a handful of romances have been kindled by wise tips on what makes us more attractive. These titles tap a human ache for personal improvement, for better health, for successful relationships. We each have somewhere deep within potential to make better choices—and find better outcomes. But self-help strategies can't address the even more persistent ache for redemption and recovery. We're powerless to change the facts: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23), the Bible tells us. “No one is righteous—not even one” (Rom 3:10). So heaven has a strategy that changes both our here and our hereafter: “For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people's sins against them” (2 Cor 5:19). When we couldn't do a thing to change our lostness and our brokenness, the deep, unending grace of God offered us eternal life for all who trust in Jesus. Self-help has its place: that place is not your forever destiny. Only grace will do. So stay in it. -Bill Knott

By continually and repeatedly putting on, at specific points in time, the spiritual protection God has provided for you... for the express purpose of holding on to your position in Christ as you are bombarded by Satanic strategies designed to destroy you and/or render you ineffective in Kingdom pursuits.The REASON for Commands (Eph. 6:12) It's because our real struggle is not against physical/material adversaries, but against a hierarchy of demonic forces doing battle in the spiritual realm.Five basic truths about spiritual warfare:There is an INVISIBLE world that is just as real as the visible world.We are involved in an invisible WAR, a cosmic conflict that has eternal implications.Our foe is FORMIDABLE and his goal is to destroy us and discredit the cause of Christ.We must RESPECT our foe, but not FEAR him – become acutely aware of his “methods,” but not be preoccupied by them.As believers in Christ, we do not fight “for” victory, we fight “FROM” victory. In Christ's power we are invincible!Summary:Satan is a DEFEATED foe. -Jn 12:31Jesus DESTROYED the work of the devil. -Col 2:14-15We are VICTORS in Christ. -1 Cor 15:55-58We have the POWER and resources to resist Satan and demonic attacks. -1 Jn 4:4We must LEARN how to put on the “full armor of God” to experience in daily living the victory we already possess. -Eph 6:13-17Broadcast ResourceThe Invisible War ResourcesMessage NotesAdditional Resource MentionsThe Invisible War Small Group OfferConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

DescriptionPastor Wayman Mitchell calls believers back to the Pentecostal power that transforms lives and sends churches. The kingdom advances in three concentric circles:Personal — Obey your God-appointed “sphere.” Transformation beats information.Church — Discipleship and church planting over megachurch optics. Unity multiplies impact.Fellowship / Nations — “Regions beyond” still wait. Obedience enlarges faith.Highlights include the “confessing 2,000” anecdote, synergy in small churches that plant, Abraham's costly obedience, a 66-year-old pioneer's letter from Nepal with healings, and a stirring call to plant churches now.Key Scriptures: 2 Cor 10; Eph 1:17; 2 Pet 3:18; 1 Cor 14; Eph 3:20; Zech 4:10; Ps 133.Chapters00:00 — Wayman Wednesday intro00:38 — Theme: “Extending the Kingdom” (2 Corinthians 10)01:40 — Pentecostal identity and dependence on the Spirit03:55 — Information vs transformation05:35 — Your “sphere” and personal obedience07:35 — Grow in grace and spiritual gifts09:30 — Power working in you beyond limitations10:40 — Church dimension vs megachurch mentality11:35 — The “confessing 2,000” story13:25 — Synergism: enlarged by each other15:05 — Despising the day of small things16:35 — Impact teams and unity that brings blessing18:45 — Together we make a big footprint19:20 — Fellowship dimension: regions beyond20:05 — Abraham leaves to gain what he never had21:20 — Lost years when family outranks calling22:20 — “If we don't plant, we failed conference”22:50 — “Too old to pioneer?” Nepal letter and miracles25:55 — Decisions shape destiny26:55 — Paul's missionary road and regions beyond28:10 — The people who are waiting30:15 — China and India: massive harvest fields31:05 — Enlarged when your faith obeys32:35 — China cities list and open doors34:20 — Call to obey: extend the kingdomShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Fr. Chris Alar addresses the recent doctrinal note Mater Populi Fidelis (“Mother of the Faithful”) released by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. The document discusses Marian titles such as Co-Redemptrix and Co-Mediatrix, leading many to ask whether these titles may still be used.Fr. Chris explains that this note falls under the ordinary magisterium of the Church — meaning it is authoritative and deserves religious obedience, but it is not infallible. It does not define new dogma or forbid the use of these Marian titles. Instead, it advises caution when they are used in ways that might confuse the faithful or seem to diminish the unique and saving role of Jesus Christ.As Fr. Chris points out, several popes — including St. Pius X, Pius XI, and St. John Paul II — used the title Co-Redemptrix to describe Mary's singular participation in her Son's work of redemption. The Latin prefix co- (from cum, meaning “with,” not “equal to”) expresses that Mary cooperated with Christ in a subordinate and dependent way, never as His equal. Just as St. Paul called us “co-workers with God” (1 Cor 3:9), Mary's “yes” made her the perfect collaborator in His saving plan.Fr. Chris also emphasizes that honoring Mary does not reduce our love or worship of Jesus. Just as loving another child does not divide a parent's love, devotion to Mary actually deepens love for her Son. Mary leads us to Christ; she never replaces Him. Grace comes from God alone, through Christ, yet Mary intercedes as the one most united to His mission of mercy.The Church teaches that Jesus alone is the Redeemer and the sole Mediator between God and man (1 Tim 2:5). Mary's participation is always subordinate — a reflection of Christ's glory, not a rival to it. The new document cautions that when certain terms require constant clarification, they may be unhelpful in ordinary catechesis. However, it also explicitly states that their use is not forbidden if they are explained properly and understood in the light of the Church's faith.Fr. Chris concludes that while the Marian Fathers will always remain obedient to the Magisterium, they will also continue to explain and defend the Church's Marian tradition with clarity and fidelity. Properly understood, these titles honor Christ by acknowledging the full truth of how He chose to work through His Mother for our salvation.Watch this important reflection now on Divine Mercy Plus — the free, ad-free Catholic streaming platform dedicated to truth, formation, and the message of Divine Mercy.#frchrisalar #marian #marians #marianfathers #marianhelpers #divinemercy #thedivinemercy #catholic #catholicism #romancatholic #romancatholicism #mary #blessedmother #coredeemer #coredemptrix #mediation #doctrinalnote #vatican #obedience #faith #truth #catholictiktok ★ Support this podcast ★

C dans l'air du 5 novembre 2025 : En dépit du tollé et du scandale suscités par la vente de poupées sexuelles à caractère pédopornographique sur son site, le géant de l'e-commerce asiatique Shein a ouvert ce mercredi sa première boutique physique et permanente au BHV, à Paris. Une première mondiale pour la marque de fast-fashion, qui revendique 25 millions de clients en France.Plusieurs dizaines de personnes avaient fait la queue dans la matinée devant l'entrée principale du grand magasin, par « curiosité » ou parce que « c'est moins cher ». « Shein, non merci », pouvaient lire les passants de l'autre côté de la rue, en haut de l'Hôtel de Ville, sous la fenêtre de l'élu écologiste – et candidat à la mairie de Paris – David Belliard.Cette ouverture, « à la veille du salon du Made in France, en ce mois du Made in France, est une provocation », avait affirmé lundi le PDG du groupe Système U sur le plateau de C dans l'air. C'est « une erreur stratégique » et « un danger », a déploré ce mercredi le ministre de la Ville, Vincent Jeanbrun, sur TF1. Son collègue chargé de l'Industrie, Sébastien Martin, a, lui, dénoncé sur Public Sénat chez Shein « une stratégie (…) d'agressivité qui est aussi une politique d'attaque de nos valeurs », tout en pointant du doigt, en creux, le BHV.Face à la tempête, Frédéric Merlin assume son choix : « J'aimerais relever l'hypocrisie générale : on parle d'une marque achetée par 25 millions de Français. » L'homme d'affaires a également avancé un argument choc pour défendre sa stratégie commerciale : « Quand j'ouvre un Primark dans un centre commercial, avec des prix équivalents à ceux de Shein et des produits fabriqués dans les mêmes usines, ce qui fonctionne autour, c'est le premium. »En début d'après-midi, le gouvernement a annoncé « une procédure de suspension » de la plateforme, à la suite du scandale des poupées à caractère pédopornographique. L'exécutif a précisé qu'« un premier point d'étape devra être fait par les ministres dans les 48 prochaines heures ».L'arrivée de la plateforme, fondée en 2012 en Chine et désormais basée à Singapour, cristallise aussi les tensions autour de la régulation du commerce en ligne et de la mode jetable ultra-éphémère. Élus, associations et acteurs du secteur textile français ont fustigé son implantation dans l'Hexagone. En cause : la mauvaise qualité, la dangerosité et parfois même l'illégalité de certains produits vendus sur la plateforme.Des députés ont annoncé le dépôt prochain d'une proposition de résolution transpartisane européenne, actuellement en cours de rédaction, afin de demander à Bruxelles et au gouvernement français de se montrer plus sévères à l'égard de Shein, devenu le symbole de l'impuissance publique face à la déferlante des produits « made in China » en Europe.Aux États-Unis, Donald Trump a signé mardi un texte, diffusé par la Maison-Blanche, qui abaisse de 20 % à 10 % une surtaxe douanière imposée sur de nombreux produits chinois, en représailles à l'action jugée insuffisante de Pékin contre le trafic de fentanyl et d'autres opioïdes vers les États-Unis. Cette baisse était prévue dans un accord récemment scellé à Busan, en Corée du Sud, entre le président américain et son homologue chinois Xi Jinping. Le président des États-Unis, qui avait menacé d'annuler son sommet d'aujourd'hui avec le numéro un chinois – leur première rencontre depuis 2019 – et d'imposer 100 % de droits de douane, a été contraint de reculer, Pékin ayant déployé sa carte maîtresse : le contrôle des terres rares.LES EXPERTS :- NICOLAS BOUZOU - Économiste – Directeur fondateur du cabinet de conseil Asterès et chroniqueur à L'Express - SYLVIE MATELLY - Économiste, directrice de l'Institut Jacques Delors et auteure de Géopolitique de l'économie - VALÉRIE NIQUET - Spécialiste de la Chine - Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique- LUCIE ROBEQUAIN - Directrice de la rédaction - La Tribune et La Tribune Dimanche

In this week's Leadership Lessons, we remember that the gospel is not just what we believe it's what we become through Him. Jesus joined our humanity (John 1:14), took our place (2 Cor 5:21), freed us from sin's rule (Rom 8:15), restored us to relationship (Rom 5:10-11), made us righteous (Rom 5:1), called us His own (John 20:17), set us apart by His Spirit (2 Thess 2:13), gave us victory (Col 2:15), breathed new life into prayer (Rom 6:9-10), lifted us into Heaven's presence (Eph 2:6), intercedes for us continually (Heb 7:25), transforms us from glory to glory (2 Cor 3:18), and leads us as the head of a new humanity (Rom 5:19). The Spirit now makes these truths alive in us reminding us we're not working for acceptance but living from it. Our part is agreement and surrender, letting His finished work form our daily walk.

In this episode of More Than Roommates, Gabrielle, Derek, and Scott discuss non-negotiables, preferences, wise process, and why commitment to a local body is essential for your spiritual growth and your marriage. They discuss what to do when you and your spouse don't see eye-to-eye.Scriptures:Hebrews 10:23-25Acts 2:42-471 Corinthians 12Romans 12PS 19:14Questions to Discuss:1. What are our top five non-negotiables for a church? Where are we currently aligned—and where are we not?2. How are we currently using our gifts to build up the body (1 Cor 12; Rom 12)? What's one next step we can take to use our gifts?3. If we're considering a change, have we fasted, prayed, and invited community/leadership into the decision?4. What past church experiences (good or painful) might be shaping our expectations today?Resources:Sacred Pathways, by Gary Thomas
