Wednesday March 18, 2026V Week of LentToday's readings reveal the contrast between resistance and surrender, law and life, and control and childlike trust.In Exodus 7:8–24, God displays His power through signs and wonders before Pharaoh, yet his heart remains hard. Even when confronted with undeniable truth, Pharaoh refuses to yield. It's a sobering reminder that repeated resistance can dull our responsiveness to God's voice.In 2 Corinthians 2:14–3:6, Paul celebrates the triumph of Christ, describing believers as the aroma of His victory. Our lives carry the fragrance of the gospel—either life to those who receive it or a reminder of truth to those who resist it. This new covenant is not written on stone, but on hearts, brought to life by the Spirit who gives freedom.And in Mark 10:1–16, Jesus teaches about covenant faithfulness and then welcomes children, affirming that the kingdom of God belongs to those who receive it like a child. While adults debate and defend, children simply come—trusting, open, and dependent.This episode invites us to soften our hearts, live as carriers of Christ's life-giving presence, and approach God not with resistance—but with humble, childlike faith.

Pastor Ryan continues the sermon series through the Book of Leviticus as he preaches a message titled "God's Covenant With Israel" during this Wednesday Evening Service.

Preacher: Jason Min Title: Kingdom Ethics: Covenant Sermon Series: Life Reimagined Scripture: Matthew 5:31-32 (NIV)

Janice Allred was excommunicated just over 30 years ago, but still attends the LDS Church!!! Why? She will talk about why she stays, and offer advice to others on how to stay if they want to. We’ll discuss how it affects her family, her testimony, and we’ll even dive into why current polygamy revisionists are getting into trouble with LDS Church leaders. Check out our conversation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O8H-QXlDPw Why I Stay: Three Decades in the Pews as an Excommunicated Member What does it look like to remain dedicated to a faith community that has formally cast you out? For Janice Allred, a “philosophical theologian” who was excommunicated in 1995, the answer is found in showing up every Sunday for over thirty years. Allred, the sister of fellow scholar Margaret Toscano, was disciplined primarily for her writings on “God the Mother“ and her critiques of church authority, yet she remains a fixture in her local ward. Why Stay? When asked the “Sunstone question” of why she stays, Allred's first response is simple: “Because I want to”. Her deeper motivations are rooted in her identity as a follower of Jesus Christ, noting that He encouraged His followers to meet together often to strengthen one another. Furthermore, she feels a profound connection to the revelations of Joseph Smith, including the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants, and wants to worship where those texts are accepted as scripture. From Pariah to Participant The road has not been easy. For the first five to ten years after her excommunication, Allred describes being treated like a “pariah” and was largely ignored by her ward members. She recalls a poignant moment five years in when a fellow ward member simply said “Hello,” and she nearly broke into tears because so few had spoken to her during that time. The turning point was a house fire. While the community struggled to know how to respond to her theological dissent, they knew exactly how to help a family in a physical crisis. Today, she is a regular participant in Sunday school and Relief Society, though she is denied the sacrament, which she describes as the hardest part of her experience. The “Observer” Strategy Allred offers a unique perspective for those struggling with their faith: be an observer. She navigates the tension of hearing things she disagrees with—such as the “adulation” of church leadership or the Proclamation on the Family—by taking a step back and viewing the meetings through a sociological or theological lens. She does not feel the need to agree with everything said from the pulpit to feel that she belongs to the “invisible church” of true followers of Christ. A Different Kind of Fundamentalism Perhaps most surprising is Allred's stance as a “polygamy revisionist.” Through her theological studies, she became convinced that Joseph Smith neither taught nor practiced polygamy, and she views Section 132 as a later forgery or a text contrary to the gospel. While this view challenges the lineage of authority from Brigham Young, she maintains that her primary goal is seeking what is true according to her own conscience and inspiration. Janice Allred's journey is a testament to self-authorship in faith. She remains a “member of the ward” in spirit, even if not on the records, proving that for some, the community of Christ is worth the discomfort of dissent. What do you think of Janice's persistence for 30+ years?

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.As a "Trekkie" (lover of Star Trek), we will be devoting several Great Rosary Campaigns to praying for the conversion of all remaining Star Trek cast members to the Catholic Faith.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign: Star Trek Edition, we are praying for the conversion of Jonathan Frakes, who played Commander Riker, "Number One," on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Please join us in praying that he may "live long and prosper" unto eternal life.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

Through the Spirit and the finished work of Christ, believers can know the things God has already freely given and pray with confidence where His will is clearly revealed. In areas where Scripture has not specified the details—such as personal plans, timing, or direction—we humbly seek His guidance, trusting His grace and leadership along the way.

Dr. Stephen Fix talks about John Thomson's An Explication of the  Shorter Catechism. Thomson was an early American presbyterian who played an important part in American Presbyterian history. Dr. Fix is his seven-times great grandson.This work is important for two reasons, first, it is representative of Old Side  Presbyterianism during the first Great Awakening, and second, it is an excellent catechism on the catechism itself. Ruling elders will find the history just as helpful as the approach to explaining the catechism. John Thomson, An Explication of the Shorter Catechism, edited by Dr. S. A.

Genesis chapter 16 and parts of 17, focusing on the dysfunctional family dynamics of Abraham and Sarah, and the establishment of the covenant of circumcision. Key Takeaways: Consequences of Fear-Based Decisions: (2:51-3:40) Bro. Matthew emphasizes that Abram and Sarai made decisions based on fear rather than faith, leading to Hagar conceiving a child with Abram and causing intense family tension. God's Mercy to Hagar: (10:50-14:35) Even in a bad situation, God shows mercy to Hagar, promising to multiply her descendants (Ishmael) and revealing Himself as "the God who sees." Covenant of Circumcision: (17:00-20:00) God reaffirms His covenant with Abram, changing his name to Abraham (father of many nations) and instituting circumcision as a physical sign of the covenant on the eighth day. Circumcision of the Heart: (30:04-34:50) Citing Romans and Galatians, Bro. Matthew explains that physical circumcision is not enough; true righteousness comes from a circumcised heart—faith working through love, not legalism. Immediate Obedience: (25:50-28:20) Abraham demonstrates immediate obedience to God's command regarding circumcision.

In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore the five modern temple covenants and what they truly require beyond surface-level religious compliance.This lesson reframes temple covenants as a progressive spiritual ladder rather than a checklist — revealing how each covenant builds upon the last and invites deeper levels of personal revelation, sacrifice, embodiment, transformation, and Christ-centered living.The five covenants explored include:✨ The Law of Obedience — learning to follow God through personal revelation ✨ The Law of Sacrifice — offering a broken heart and contrite spirit ✨ The Law of the Gospel — embodying Christlike character and lived discipleship ✨ The Law of Chastity — integrating body, desire, identity, and faithfulness ✨ The Law of Consecration — offering one's life in service to God and othersViewers will learn how these covenants operate as a developmental pathway rather than rigid rules, how personal revelation guides individual spiritual growth, and how covenant living prepares the soul for spiritual maturity and divine partnership with Jesus Christ.This episode also explores how these covenants connect to ancient covenant structures, how they unfold through a lifelong process of sanctification, and how they shape identity, purpose, and spiritual stewardship. If you've ever wondered what the temple covenants truly mean, how to live them authentically, or how they shape real spiritual transformation, this lesson provides deep clarity and practical spiritual insight.

Questions about what gives modern Christians confidence that they've inherited the Jews' covenant with God if Scripture explicitly says it was with Israel and not the Gentile nations, and why the Jews were chosen.   The covenant in Scripture is explicitly with Israel and not the Gentile nations, so what gives modern Christians confidence that they've inherited that covenant? Why were the Jews chosen?

Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson analyze an article by LDS General Authority Randy D. Funk, who uses the legal concept of "unilateral acceptance" to frame covenant-keeping and temple ordinances as the means by which Latter-day Saints receive God's blessings.

God entered into covenant with the nation of Israel at Mount Sinai in 1440 BC, soon after God rescued Israel from slavery in Egypt. In this Covenant, God promised Israel bountiful blessings of success, prosperity, biological fertility, security and peace in the rich land of Canaan, and the #1 ranking among all the nations on earth, on one big condition; if Israel would faithfully obey the terms of the Covenant. If however, Israel would not obey the covenant terms, God would to send horrific curses of punishment upon His chosen people. The important question now, that we answer in this episode, is: How will Israel respond to their Covenant with God?

Welcome back to the Truth Podcast!In this episode, we explore the structural backbone of the entire Bible: The Covenants. From the rainbow over Noah to the cross of Christ, God has used formal, binding agreements to reveal his character and his unfolding plan for salvation. We'll discuss the difference between a cold legal contract and a relational biblical covenant, and how each major agreement—Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic—ultimately finds its fulfillment in the New Covenant through Jesus Christ. Whether you are new to the faith or a long-time believer, understanding these divine promises will help you see the "big picture" of God's unwavering commitment to humanity.--The PursueGOD Truth podcast is the “easy button” for making disciples – whether you're looking for resources to lead a family devotional, a small group at church, or a one-on-one mentoring relationship.

Welcome to Rabbi Sacks' commentary on the weekly Torah portion. This series of Covenant & Conversation essays explores the theme of finding spirituality in the Torah, week by week, parsha by parsha.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” Matthew 5:17–18The long history of salvation, through which God gradually revealed His divine plan, began with Adam and Eve, continued with Noah and Abraham, deepened with Moses, became internalized with the prophets, and was fulfilled in Jesus. Though tracing this history in detail is a lengthy process, one simple truth stands out: After the fall of Adam and Eve, God gradually unfolded the perfection of His Divine Law to His people. In the same way, He draws each of us closer as we slowly convert and are purified through our spiritual journey.At the start, God established what we call the Natural Law. Adam and Eve understood moral truths naturally. However, after their sin, that Law became obscured and remains so today. God then made a covenant with Noah, promising never again to destroy the earth by water. With Abraham, the covenant deepened, as God promised to bless all nations through his descendants. Then came Moses, and with him, the Ten Commandments, a clear moral code for living. Ceremonial laws were introduced to guide the people in worship, and civil laws helped establish the Israelites as God's distinct people.Once Israel was established, God sent prophets to call for a deeper, internal transformation of heart. The prophets urged the people to repent, return to God, and prepare for the Messiah, who would fulfill the Covenant in its entirety.When Jesus arrived, His teaching illuminated a fuller understanding of the Law. In Him, all the promises and precepts of the Law were realized. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus established a New Covenant of grace, bringing about the fullness of redemption.This overview of salvation history is not only important from a historical perspective but also offers insight into how God relates to each of us personally. In the beginning of our own conversion, God meets us where we are: He calls us to be His children, and we are drawn to follow His commandments, avoiding serious sin. As we progress, our faith practices, including the sacraments, take on new depth. Gradually, we internalize the call to live from the heart, not just through outward observance. We begin to see God as an intimate and personal God, and we work to overcome even small attachments to sin. Ultimately, we are called to turn fully to the Gospel, letting it lead us into a deeper relationship with Christ.Recognizing this progression is essential for our spiritual journeys. If we fail to see this path, we might become complacent. Everything God revealed at the beginning of your conversion remains true, but the start is not the fulfillment. As you reflect on your life, ask yourself: Can I see how God has drawn me closer to Himself, deepened my faith, and called me into greater union with Him?God leads us gently, knowing that immediate perfection would be overwhelming. Still, He desires our daily growth. Each day is an opportunity for continued conversion, deeper transformation, and spiritual purification. The great saints have written about this journey, showing us the way to holiness.Reflect today on the call to be perfect. If that seems impossible, commit to one step at a time. The road to perfection is long, demanding, and difficult—but it is also freeing, transforming, and ultimately glorious. Though you won't become a saint overnight, you can take the next step toward holiness today. Say “Yes” to this journey and trust that God will lead you.My revealing Lord, little by little You have shown us the path to salvation. From the time of Adam and Eve until Your coming as man, You have guided us back to full communion with You. In my own life, reveal to me the path to holiness and give me the courage to follow it.

The Blood of Christ and the Courtroom of Heaven – Part 2 | KIB 521 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 521, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake continue their powerful teaching on the courtroom of heaven and the legal authority of the Blood of Jesus. The Bible consistently reveals a judicial structure in the spirit realm. From the divine council in Psalm 82, to the accusations of Satan in Job, to the final judgments described in Revelation, Scripture presents a coherent picture of covenant law operating in God's heavenly court. In this episode, Dr. Lake explains how Satan functions as the accuser, how repentance removes legal ground from the enemy, and why the blood of Jesus speaks legally in the courtroom of heaven. This discussion also addresses: The role of covenant law in spiritual warfare How repentance shuts down Satan's accusations Why the blood of Jesus is the believer's legal defense The danger of disconnecting the Church from the Old Testament How obedience to God's commandments maintains covenant alignment Why spiritual maturity is essential in the last days Understanding these principles is vital for the remnant as we approach the prophetic events of the end times.

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 303), I walk through Joshua chapters 3 and 5 and what happens when God brings His people to a decisive moment. Israel stands at the Jordan after years of delay, and the Lord calls them to sanctify themselves, step forward in faith, and follow His presence into the unknown. Before the waters part, the priests must first step into the river. That is how obedience and miracles often work. This message is about the moment of God, when His voice cuts through confusion and calls us to clean out what hinders us, expect His supernatural power, and move when the Holy Spirit leads. The ground becomes holy wherever God is present, and when He speaks, it is never too late to respond. Leaders and believers alike must decide whose side they are on and move forward in faith. - Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Joshua 3: Communication in the Bible(00:02:43) - Joshua and the Ark of the Covenant(00:06:08) - Joshua vs Jericho(00:07:42) - The Moment of God(00:12:54) - The Holy Spirit Wants to Clean Up Your Life(00:18:55) - God's Wonders in the World(00:24:18) - The Moment of God(00:29:16) - Joshua the Lord of Hosts
