Matthew 5:14-16 CSB 14 “You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

“‘I don’t know whether he is a sinner,’ the man replied. ‘But I know this: I was blind, and now I can see!’” (John 9:25 NLT) Jesus and His disciples encountered a man who had been blind his entire life. The disciples asked the Lord, “Why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?” (verse 2 NLT). That may seem like an odd question about someone who had been blind since birth. But some Jewish people believed that it was possible for unborn babies to sin in the womb. Whatever prompted their question, for the disciples, the man’s blindness was an abstract theological puzzle. They had no real compassion for him. They lacked humility, empathy, and concern. Jesus did not. He explained that the man’s blindness wasn’t the result of his or his parents’ sin. In fact, the man’s blindness gave God an opportunity to work in his life in a way that sighted people would never experience. The apostle Paul makes a similar point in 2 Corinthians 12. Paul had some kind of disability or affliction that hindered his work. He called it a “thorn in my flesh.” Three times he asked God to remove it from him. And three times God said no. “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT). Our flaws and weaknesses can bring us closer to God if we look at them from the right perspective. They remind us that we need Him. They encourage us to depend on Him. Jesus showed the power of God in the man’s life in a hands-on way. The man’s blindness wasn’t an abstract theological concept to Him. He spit on the ground, made mud with His saliva, and rubbed it on the man’s eyes. He told him to wash off the mud in the pool of Siloam. And when the man did, he could see! The Light of the world led the man out of his literal darkness. You can probably guess on which day of the week the healing occurred: the Sabbath. When the Jewish leaders heard about it, they were—again—outraged. How dare Jesus ignore their religious rules to change someone’s life forever by giving him the ability to see for the first time! Some Pharisees argued that Jesus couldn’t possibly have been sent by God because He worked on the Sabbath. (The man may have been healed of his physical blindness, but their spiritual blindness was still a huge obstacle.) Other Pharisees rightly argued that an ordinary sinner couldn’t perform such a miraculous healing. Things got so absurd that the religious leaders sent for the man’s parents and tried to get them to admit that their son hadn’t been blind at all. The parents carefully avoided the matter. They had been told that anyone who even suggested that Jesus was the Messiah would be kicked out of the synagogue. So the leaders again sent for the formerly blind man. They tried to get him to admit that he’d been healed by an ordinary sinner and not the Messiah. “If this man were not from God, he couldn’t have done it,” the man replied in verse 33 (NLT). The outraged religious leaders threw him out of the synagogue. Their unwillingness to see Jesus for who He really was clouded their judgment in practically every other area of their lives. They couldn’t see—or admit—the obvious. Their pride kept them in spiritual darkness. They had no interest in the light. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We often hear that it's harder to raise kids today than ever before. That isn't true, of course. All eras down through history have been challenging. We live in a world scarred by sin, after all, and children grow up among all sorts of temptations. That's why the role of a parent is something to take seriously, as a sacred duty.We've been discussing the best practical guide for living: the Bible. Nowhere is this truer than in its practical wisdom for raising successful children.Although we all have the freedom to make our own choices—and your kids certainly will make their own decisions—they benefit greatly from a loving father or mother who also loves the Lord.Proverbs 22:6 says, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”This isn't the kind of thing you hope for—this is scripture, the Word of God, and can be relied on to bring about the promise made. The Lord will honor your commitment to raising children that love their Creator.One way to do that is to be bold in your discussions with your children, who likely hear anti-God stuff from school, and entertainment. For example, talk with them as if you believe the Bible is really true. Then point out that the book of Exodus commands all of us to value our parents.Exodus 20:12 says, “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God has given you.”It doesn't hurt to point out the bonus: long life.Make sure that you also share with your children the wonderful practical tips from the Bible. Much of it will save them a broken heart down the road.For example, Proverbs 18:24 says, “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”This is repeated in the New Testament in 1 Corinthians 15:33, which says, “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.”God's Word promises us a sound mind. This state of being will help your children in everything they do from completing school assignments to caring for elderly relatives. A child who knows the Lord, and prays consistently, will become a human being you can be proud of.Let's pray.Father God, children are a gift from you. They are a sacred treasure—entrusted to us for a little while. Remind us daily of our role in shaping their lives, so that they are healthy, and content, in the world that you made for them. In Jesus' name, amen.Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

(1 Corinthians 4:1-2, 17) God does His greatest work in private. While man often minimizes God's work to what occurs in public settings, God is at work behind the scenes.  (0913250113) 

In "Blessed Are You," Pastor Micah Stephens dives into the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew, focusing on the Beatitudes. He clarifies that these aren't merely attitudes one should adopt to achieve blessing but are descriptions of the blessings inherent to those living according to Christ's teachings. This sermon emphasizes that, contrary to popular interpretation, the Beatitudes highlight the blessedness of a Christian life, even amidst worldly persecution and disdain, providing comfort and encouragement from Christ Himself.Verse References: Matthew 5 verses 1-12, Isaiah 66 verse 2, 1 Peter 5 verse 6, 2 Corinthians 7 verse 10, Psalm 37 verses 10-13, Psalm 34 verse 8, 1 Peter 2 verses 2-3, 1 John 1 verse 9, 2 Corinthians 4 verse 6, 2 Corinthians 7 verse 1, James 4 verse 8, Revelation 22 verses 3-4, 1 Corinthians 14 verse 33, 1 Peter 4 verses 15-16, John 15 verses 19-20, 2 Timothy 2 verse 11Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Mere Christians of the BibleDevotional: 2 of 5Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women…Mary (called Magdalene) …Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means. (Luke 8:1-3)We're in a series exploring wisdom for our work today from some of the “Mere Christians of the Bible”—believers who did not work as pastors or donor-supported missionaries, but as entrepreneurs, tax collectors, and more.Today's passage introduces us to three mere Christians: Mary, Joanna, and Susanna who “were helping to support” Jesus and the twelve disciples “out of their own means.”Most scholars believe that Joanna was likely the wealthiest of this trio, given her position in Herod's court. But many also believe these women were likely small business owners who worked hard to produce the profits needed to fund Jesus's ministry.Mary, Joanna, and Susanna remind us of three important truths.First, God frequently celebrates women who work “outside the home.” From Eve working alongside Adam in the garden (Genesis 1:26-28), to the midwives God used to defy Pharaoh (Exodus 1:15-21), to Deborah's leading of Israel (Judges 4:4-5), to Mary, Joanna, and Susanna supporting Jesus's ministry, Scripture consistently shows God delighting in the work of his daughters.Second, our work has intrinsic and instrumental value to God. I talk a lot in these devotionals about how your work has intrinsic value to God—in other words, it matters for eternity even when you're not leveraging it to some instrumental and spiritual end such as sharing the gospel or writing a check to the missionaries pictured on your refrigerator. But these women remind us that our work does have important instrumental value. In fact, Paul says that is one of the reasons why mere Christians ought to work: so “that they may have something to share with those in need” (see Ephesians 4:28) including those who rely on the generosity of others to preach the gospel (see 1 Corinthians 9:14).Finally, God values offstage work as much as he does onstage work. Scripture doesn't mention these women preaching or performing miracles like the twelve disciples, but their offstage roles were so valued by God that Luke records them in his gospel. If you're working in relative obscurity today, take heart—God “will not forget your work” either (Hebrews 6:10).How should we respond to the three truths above?Thank God for the gift of working women (and, if you're a woman, for a God who delights in the work you do inside and outside the home).Ask the Lord whose work he might be calling you to support “out of your own means.”Remind a mere Christian working “offstage” that God sees and values their work today.

How do you relate to the idea of being a new creation in Christ?Today's devotional is titled "Ministry of Reconciliation." We are thrilled to have Lauren Alessi hosting this week, bringing us powerful insights straight from the scriptures. As we kick off a new year, Lauren guides us through 2 Corinthians 5:16-18, reminding us of the transformative power of Christ and the fresh start that comes with being a new creation in Him. If you've had a challenging end to last year or are struggling to embrace the new year, this episode offers encouragement and hope. We end with a heartfelt prayer for courage, faith, and strength as we journey into 2025. So grab your coffee, settle in, and join us for a soothing and inspiring five-minute devotional.

Jacob and Aaron take a look at the readings for the Second Sunday after the Epiphany, which are Isaiah 62:1-5, 1 Corinthians 12:1-11, and John 2:1-11.

What if our bodies are merely temporary tents, fragile and fleeting? Join me, Chris Grainger, as I explore the profound metaphor from 2 Corinthians 5:4, diving into the themes of endurance through loss and hope in this reflective episode of The Lion Within Us. We confront life's discomforts and adversities akin to the temporary nature of camping, urging us not to succumb to despair. Instead, we find solace in the promise of eternal life through Jesus, reminding ourselves that our earthly existence is but a chapter in a much greater story. Let's set our sights on the eternal home that awaits, exceeding any earthly dwelling we know.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

When the topic of generosity comes up in church, reactions can be mixed. Some tune out, assuming the message is about funding a project or filling a financial gap. But generosity is about much more than meeting needs—it's about the heart behind the act. Let's explore not only why we should give but also why we shouldn't and how to cultivate a heart for biblical generosity.Why We Shouldn't Give1. Guilt Shouldn't Be Your MotivationMany Christians have been influenced by guilt-driven messages, from legalism to the prosperity gospel. These teachings suggest that not giving enough equates to stealing from God or forfeiting His blessings. However, the Bible paints a different picture.In 2 Corinthians 9:7, Paul reminds us, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Faithful giving stems from joy, not guilt or obligation.It's also crucial to distinguish between guilt and conviction. Guilt comes from the enemy and leads us away from Christ, while conviction comes from the Holy Spirit, drawing us closer to God. Hebrews 10:22 reassures us that, through Christ's sacrifice, we are freed from guilt. If guilt drives your giving, pause and prayerfully examine your heart.2. Giving to Control the ChurchSometimes, people give to influence church decisions, designating funds to specific ministries or withholding support to express disagreement with leadership. This approach can sow division and turn generosity into a transaction.Giving with strings attached undermines the act of worship and reflects a lack of trust in God's sovereignty. As stewards of God's resources, we are called to support His work, even when we don't agree with every decision.3. Seeking Self-Righteousness Through GivingGenerosity should not be a means to feel morally superior. In Luke 18:11-12, Jesus shares the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. The Pharisee flaunted his giving to showcase his righteousness, while the tax collector humbly sought God's mercy.Faithful giving is a response to God's grace, not a way to earn recognition or status. If pride motivates your generosity, it's time to reassess your heart.Principles for Generous GivingTo develop a heart of biblical generosity, consider these principles:1. Make Giving a PriorityProverbs 3:9 teaches, “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce.” Giving should come first—not as an afterthought or leftover.2. Embrace Sacrificial GivingIn 2 Samuel 24:24, David declares, “I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.” True generosity often requires sacrifice, mirroring Christ's sacrificial love for us.3. Give CheerfullyAs Paul emphasizes in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “God loves a cheerful giver.” Joyful giving reflects trust in God's provision and a desire to participate in His work.Reflect Before You GiveBefore giving, ask yourself:Am I giving out of gratitude, joy, and a desire to honor God?Or are guilt, control, or pride influencing my decision?God values the heart behind your generosity far more than the size of your gift. By giving with a spirit of gratitude and humility, you participate in advancing His Kingdom and glorifying Him through your stewardship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've lived with a roommate for the past three years, and he has not had a job since March. I haven't been able to set any money aside or anything like that, with me covering those, and I wanted to know if you had any advice on what I should do if I should move out or otherwise.I have a son who's considering bankruptcy. He has more than just credit card debt, and I'm concerned about what filing bankruptcy will do to his credit and how long it would take him to recover. He's hoping to be able to buy a house soon.My friend told me about an IRA manager, and I am about to sign the contract. They charge 1.5%, and I want to know if that is normal. I'm about to sign a check for $8,000, and I just want more information about that. Also, can you tell me about an annuity? I don't know much about it.When my grandmother died, in her will, she left your house to me and my aunt pending her husband's death. Well, before her husband died, he ended up giving the property to somebody else, and because of that, my aunt and I were just left out. Is that legal? Can you confirm whether it's true that you must report interest gained to the federal government if you open a high-yielding savings account?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationBetterment | Schwab Intelligent PortfoliosLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

I took this word from the title of a book by Puritan author John Owen - Spiritual-Mindedness.   For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6 (For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.)   Taking control of your thought-life - valuable life skill for everyone, everyday!   2 Corinthians 10:5 - take every thought captive to obey Christ   So our thoughts are the best and surest way of showing us what we are in ourselves. “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (Prov. 23:7).   If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Colossians 3:1-2   The strength of the mind is wasted by fruitless thoughts.   The first object, then, of our spiritual thoughts is to consider what God is saying in the daily circumstances of life.   T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

I Corinthians | I Corinthians 10:1-13 | Dakota Jackson

Many “Christians” Are Unwilling to Come to the God in Penitence to Repent; They Do Not Have the “fire of God” or the Holy Spirit's Engagement MESSAGE SUMMARY: We must maintain constant repentance with the Lord. Every relationship in our life is a day-by-day journey; therefore, our relationship with the Lord is, also, a continuous journey. In 2 Corinthians 7:10, Paul succinctly describes the difference between “grief” and “sorrow” for our sinful actions and true repentance: “For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.". God can show us those things, in our lives, that He wants us to do or not do. Some of us have the “pilot light lit” because we have asked Jesus to bring the Holy Spirit into our lives; however, the “furnace isn't engaged”. The “fire of God” is not in our lives because we are not willing to come to the Lord in penitence and to repent.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I come this day inviting you to cut those deeply entrenched chains that keep me from being faithful to my true self in Christ. In doing so, may my life be a blessing to many. In Jesus' name, amen.      Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 44). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.

2025.01.12 Christian Freedom III | 1 Corinthians 10:1 - 11:1 | John Wood by EP Church Annapolis

Sin fractures relationships, but God's first response is pursuit, not punishment. Step toward the perfect love and restoration that he's provided through Christ!Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 3:1-24; Psalm 139:23-24; Romans 3:23, 12:2, 12:10; 2 Corinthians 13:5; 1 John 4:18Key InsightsSin always leads to destruction.Sin didn't just usher in bad actions; it also caused us to question every person and relationship because we are all tainted by sin.The residue of our sin is always apparent, sometimes to everyone else even if it's not apparent to us.Sin fractures our relationship with God.God's first response to sin was pursuit, not punishment.Sin fractures our relationship with one another.Sin fractures our relationship with ourselves.Renewing our minds is possible and it's a daily task.Hiding from God deepens the pain. Stepping towards God is a move begins the healing.God's responses are always fueled by perfect love.God has a redemptive plan for your life.About SpringhouseIf you're looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we'd love to connect with you.

The guys are spending a couple of their holiday season episodes with a New Year's focus on the power of yes, no, and maybe. In this episode, Ken and Mike conclude their holiday season with the power of maybe. They discuss waiting on God, who God is to us in the waiting, the anxiety in waiting and how we handle it, waiting with pain and hardship, and what weakness produces in us during waiting. A listener asks the guys to explain what the word liturgical means in relation to Christianity. What's the significance of the Gutenberg Bible? And the guys make 2025 predictions.

This is the first sermon in a series called Gifted For Good based in the latter chapters of 1 Corinthians. Over the next few weeks we will be seeing that all of the gifts that God gives to us are for the good of our neighbors. In this first sermon, we are introduced to the concept of Christian freedom. In Christ, we have many freedoms, but what are these freedoms for? Not just for our own personal edification, but they are for the good of our neighbor. 

Welcome to City Collective Church. In our second week of our Gifts of the Spirit series, Pastor Jason provides a brief overview of the gifts of faith, discernment and miracles. Using 1 Corinthians 12 as a foundation, Pastor Jason shares on what these gifts are, as well as some ways to grow in them. To learn more about City Collective you can visit citycollective.com.

Five Spiritual Steps to Lasting Change, Part 22 Corinthians 4:1-4; Ephesians 2:1-5Johnathan Mast

Five Spiritual Steps to Lasting Change, Part 22 Corinthians 4:1-4; Ephesians 2:1-5Johnathan Mast

This week Pastor Matt Dean continues our series in 2 Corinthians. In verses 1:12-2:4, we see Paul's heart for the church in Corinth, and the conflict he endures because of misunderstanding from fellow christians there. We have all experienced hurt and pain at the hands of our brothers and sisters in Christ. However, come what may, Jesus is trustworthy, and even in pain, our Joy can be found in him. Ultimately, in the day of the Lord, all will be made clear and we will boast in one another as children of God. 

Pastor Marcus Lane kicks off our new sermon series "The Cross over Compromise: A Series on 1 Corinthians" with a message titled "The Cross over Wisdom". In this message, Pastor Marcus highlights how the cross is foolish, the cross is humbling, and the cross is wisdom. 

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
