Proverbs 27:6, 17 NIV Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Psalm 141:5a CSB Let the righteous one strike me— it is an act of faithful love; let him rebuke me— it is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. Luke 9:51-56 ESV 51 When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53 But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55 But he turned and rebuked them. 56 And they went on to another village. Ephesians 6:12 CSB 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens. 1 Peter 5:8-9 NIV 8 Be alert and of sober mind.

Give careful thought to do what is honorable in everyone's eyes. 18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for God's wrath, because it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. 21 Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good. Matthew 19:3 ESV 3 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?”
We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6-7 ESV Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESVIn order to thrive and bear fruit in any season or weather what matters most is where you're planted!The righteous thrive like a palm tree and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon. Planted in the house of the LORD, they thrive in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green, to declare, “The LORD is just; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” Psalm 92:13-15 CSBChrist-followers who are planted in a life giving, God following community are more fruitful and resilient than they would ever be if they were trying to live life on their own. Though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12 ESV Friendship divides your sorrows and doubles your joys. - AnonymousSo then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. Ephesians 2:19-21 ESV God is more than enough to make us great together!When we are rooted in the love of God true family becomes our reality. For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.

Matthew Week 108 Central Christian Church 23 hours ago 3 min read 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 CSB 9 I wrote to you in a letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.10 I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy and swindlers or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world.11 But actually, I wrote you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister and is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. 12 For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders? Don't you judge those who are inside? 13 God judges outsiders. Remove the evil person from among you. Matthew 18:21 ESV 21 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Matthew 18:22 ESV 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times Genesis 4:23-24 ESV 23 Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say: Melissa, hear my voice… I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me. 24 If Cain's revenge is sevenfold, then Lamech's is seventy-sevenfold.” Psalm 51:3-4a ESV For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, Romans 12:19-21 ESV 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Hebrews 10:30 ESV 30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” Matthew 18:23-35 ESV 23 “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. 24 When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.' 27 And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. 28 But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.' 29 So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.' 30 He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. 31 When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. 32 Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?'34 And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. 35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.” 35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.” Hebrews 10:30-31 ESV 30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

[20250905] Crónicas de San Borondón ¿Son las matemáticas la mejor herramienta para comprender el Universo, todo cuanto existe? ¿Habría existencia sin matemáticas? Más allá de su fama de complejas y aburridas, las ciencias matemáticas, rastreables por doquier, pueden ser abordadas de forma singular e, incluso, divertida. Ocultas ante nuestros ojos, los números y las formas geométrica nos rodean, construyendo la realidad. Este viernes, el matemático José Molina González visita Crónicas de San Borondón para contagiarnos el virus de las matemáticas, para educar nuestra mirada y asombrarnos con la presencia de números y formas mágicas en la naturaleza y en el legado humano. Beatriz Chinea, artífice del aclamado documental CURANDERAS CANARIAS. Tradición de Sanación, participa en esta primera edición de la temporada nº 17 de CSB haciendo balance de las proyecciones y encuentros con curanderas canarias realizados en Güímar, Alajeró y Arrecife este verano, avanzando las fechas de La Palma (11 de septiembre); El Hierro (19 de septiembre), Fuerteventura y Gran Canaria. Cabe recordar el fantástico trabajo de Chinea ha contado con el apoyo de la Dirección General de Patrimonio Cultural del Gobierno de Canarias. Nuestra compañera Priscila González dedicará algunos minutos a darnos datos de última hora aportados por la ciencia sobre los efectos de los cambios e inicios de ciclo en nuestro organismo y mente, mientras que con los investigadores Xavier Melo y Luján Comas, desgranaremos algunos de los contenidos de su más reciente libro Vida más allá de la vida. Transformaciones espirituales derivadas de las experiencias cercanas a la muerte.

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
Send us a textForrest Frank's viral song “Your Way's Better” is catchy, AND its lyrics point us to a deeper truth worth slowing down to consider: God's way truly is better. From Paul's letter to the Romans to Israel's wilderness experiences, Scripture shows us over and over again the futility of choosing our own way over God's way. This week on More Than a Song, we'll explore Romans 10 and discover how clinging to our own efforts can keep us from the righteousness that only comes through Christ.Key PointsThe lyrics highlight a clear contrast between the ways of sin and the ways of God.Romans 10:1–4 reveals the Jews' “misdirected zeal” as they cling to their own way instead of embracing God's way through Christ.God's way of making us right with Himself is not through law-keeping, but through faith in Jesus.The warnings of misdirected zeal, misunderstanding, and clinging to self-effort apply just as much to us today as they did to the Jews of Paul's day.Studying larger sections of Scripture (like Romans 9–11) helps us grasp the full context of Paul's arguments and God's redemptive plan.Scripture ReferencesRomans 10:1–4 – God's way of making people right with Himself through Christ.Romans 9:4–5, 20 – Israel's privileges and Paul's reminder of God's sovereignty.Exodus 15 – God sets forth His way in contrast to Egypt and Canaan.Matthew 16:23–24 – Jesus rebukes Peter and calls His followers to walk in His way.Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs)Study larger chunks of Scripture – read Romans 9–11 for context.Read in context – expand to the chapter before and after your focus passage (this is a loose rule...I explain more on the episode)Compare translations – notice how different versions phrase “God's way” vs. “their own way.”Use section headings – gain bearings in a familiar text by scanning how thoughts are grouped.Consider opposites – clarify what God's way is by identifying what it is not.Additional ResourcesDownload the free Episode GuideLyrics for Your Way's Better by Forrest Frank – NewReleaseToday.comEpisode 519 – Looking at how God reigns with wisdom, power, and love.Episode 518 – Jesus rebukes Peter for having in mind the things of man instead of the things of God, then teaches how to follow Him.Episode 515 – Israel's early wilderness experiences in Exodus 15, contrasting God's way with the ways of Egypt and Canaan.This Week's ChallengeRead Romans 9-11. I recommend reading it several times in various translations. For example, the phrasing “God's way” vs. “their own way” is found in the New Living Translation, and I may have missed it in the ESV or CSB, which I often read and study. Look closely at the characteristics of the people and God's ways.

Bible Reading: Psalm 51:1-10; Matthew 23:25-28"Wow, Mom! Look at that huge caramel apple!" Zayne exclaimed when he and his mom walked into the grocery store. "Can I get it to take to school tomorrow?""Well, a regular apple would be better for you, but that one is a beauty," Mom said. "Okay. You can have it this time."During class the next morning, Zayne thought about the caramel apple in his lunch bag. His mouth watered as he imagined biting into it. He was glad when lunchtime finally came. Sandwich first, Zayne told himself. Then the carrot sticks. At last he pulled out the apple. He held it up to show his friends, and one of them tried to grab it. Zayne laughed and quickly bit into it. To his great dismay, the inside of the apple was soft and brown, and it tasted horrible! He tried to just eat the caramel on the outside, but he kept getting some of the soft apple with it.When Zayne got home, he opened the refrigerator to find a snack. There in the fruit bin were several shiny red apples. He looked at them, but chose a cheese stick instead. "I don't trust apples anymore," he told Mom when she took one out. "The one we bought yesterday was no good. I had to throw it away." "What a shame," said Mom, shaking her head. "It was so pretty!" She grinned at Zayne. "But you know, it's a good reminder of how we can be like that apple.""We can?" asked Zayne. "How?""People aren't always what they appear to be," Mom explained. "It's pretty easy for us to hide thoughts and feelings from other people--it's even possible for us to keep others from seeing sin we're holding on to in our lives. But we can't hide anything from God. He isn't fooled by false outer appearances because He sees our hearts. Even if no one else knows about wrong things we're doing or thinking about others, He does. And if we confess them to Jesus, He will forgive us and make us clean."Mom cut into her apple. "You can see the inside of this apple now, and it looks great," she told Zayne as she handed him a slice. "Have a piece." –Karen R. LocklearHow About You?Have you learned how to hide sin in your life from others? You may be able to fool other people, but you can't fool God. The Pharisees in today's Bible reading were able to make themselves look good to people, but Jesus saw what was in their hearts--and He sees what's in your heart too. If there's sin in your heart, confess it to Jesus so He can make you clean. Today's Key Verse:You [God] alone know every human heart. (CSB) (1 Kings 8:39 )Today's Key Thought:God sees your heart

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESV Deep roots anchored to God through trust are essential to faithfulness and fruitfulness through any season. This is what the LORD says: Cursed is the person who trusts in mankind. He makes human flesh his strength, and his heart turns from the LORD. He will be like a juniper in the Arabah; he cannot see when good comes but dwells in the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land where no one lives. Jeremiah 17:5-6 CSBJesus is my ride or die, and He already died, so even when I die I'll live.Whatever you focus on will be where your life takes root. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. Psalm 1:1-3 ESVReal communion with and surrender to God are key to a life rooted in Him.Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESVThe heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings. Jeremiah 17:9-10 NKJVTrust is the tap root of a wise and fruitful life of faith! Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall. Matthew 7:24-27 NKJVThere are lots of ways to live lost and bound, but true trust in Jesus is the one and only way to live found and free!-------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church
