July 5th | Dream Disciple | Acts 2:36-47 What does a disciple of Jesus actually look like?In the first message of our Dream Disciple series, Pastor Daniel Norris takes us to Acts 2 to show that genuine discipleship begins with one simple posture: Eyes Up. Before our habits change, our hearts must change. Before we can be devoted to Jesus, we must truly see Him for who He is—our Savior, our Lord, and our King.As we examine the birth of the early church, we discover that their remarkable devotion wasn't driven by duty or religious obligation. It was the natural response of people whose lives had been transformed by an encounter with King Jesus. Their devotion reshaped every area of their lives, centered them on God's Word, deepened their relationships with God's people, and put the Kingdom of God on display for the world to see.This message will challenge you to ask a life-changing question: Is Jesus someone you admire, or is He the King you've surrendered your life to?Join us as we begin the journey of becoming the kind of disciples who keep our Eyes Up and live fully devoted to the King.Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
Pastor Frank DiPronio expository sermon on Colossians 4:2-4
The Bible gives us a breathtaking picture of the world God has promised, a kingdom filled with peace, justice, healing, and joy. Yet until that day comes, we live in a world marked by suffering and tribulation. Followers of Jesus are called to rejoice in the hope of what is coming, persevere through present trials, and remain devoted to prayer as we faithfully await his return.
In Colossians 4:2–4, Paul calls the church to be steadfast in prayer, watchful in faith, and thankful before God. He also asks the church to pray for open doors for the gospel and for clarity in proclaiming the mystery of Christ.This passage reminds us that prayer is not a spiritual accessory; it is part of the church's calling. We pray because Christ is Lord, the gospel is powerful, and God is the One who opens doors no one else can open.

In the vast universe of Star Wars, the Jedi have long been viewed as the guardians of peace and justice. On paper, the Jedi Order seemed to be thriving during the prequel trilogy with thousands of members and significant presence. Within the Galactic Republic, they appeared to wield immense influence. Instead, some became entangled in a system, that often compromises their core values. The Jedi order faced internal divisions that stemmed from differing opinions about Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one. This lack of consensus, created an environment of uncertainty that permeated The Order. With the rise of Palpatine and the shifting tides of power, the Jedi‘s role became increasingly ambiguous. Enter stage left, The Sith Order! The Sith are an order of Force-sensitive beings and the main antagonist in the Star Wars universe. Listen in to peer into the ideological antithesis and ancient enemies of the Jedi, if you dare. May the force be with you!Calling all Star Wars fans, which of the definitive Sith Order antagonists made the dark side of The Force awaken for you? Were you team Ancient Sith & Founders (Darth Bane, Lady Shaa, Lord Momin, Darth Atrius..) or team The Rule of Two (Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, Darth Tyranus a.k.a. Count Dooku, Anakin Skywalker a.k.a. Darth…Vader!
Imagine... What would it look like to be a part of a church family that's not only stable, but also prepared to multiply and to spread across the nations? What would this church family prioritize? How would they treat one another? How would they participate in the community around them? When we look at the priorities of the church in Acts 2 we are looking at a beautiful pattern, and even a mirror of what a healthy church can be still today: full of life and full of the Spirit of God.

Archie Belaney (Grey Owl) spent his final years pushing a message of conservation. While impersonating a First Nations man, he helped save the beaver from extinction. That path to becoming a famous for his conservation writings would have never happened if not for the love of his life, Anahareo. Her story is too often made a footnote to his story.

On the surface, Gerard Baden-Clay and his wife Allison had it all. A successful luxury property business, a beautiful young family, and a prestigious family lineage tracing back to the founder of the Boy Scouts. However, in reality, Gerard had woven a web of lies, affairs, and massive loans, all without his family even knowing. However, when it all started crashing down around him, Gerard decided the easiest way out was to kill his own wife. What followed were only more pathetic lies, appeals, attempts to hide the answer to this question: what happened to Allison Baden-Clay.StitchFix: Take the stress out of shopping with https://stitchfix.com/milehigher for $20 OFF your first order!Mintmobile: Stop overpaying for your wireless bill, go to https://mintmobile.com/MILEHIGHER and start shopping for lower rates today!HungryRoot: A Free item AND 40% OFF?!

“Can anyone object to their being baptized, now that they have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?” So he gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Afterward, Cornelius asked him to stay with them for several days.” - Acts of the Apostles 10:47-48 NLT
The Yoga Sutras describe two types of people on the path to enlightenment: those born with spiritual capabilities and those who need structured practice. For the latter, the path to Yoga is shaped by five essential virtues.Shraddha (Faith): Trust in the universe's support, believing everything needed for growth is already within.Vidya (Courage): Inner strength to face challenges and persevere through life's obstacles with boldness.Smirti (Remembrance): The ability to recall vital practices and stay aligned with your deeper purpose.Samadhi (Absorption): Complete awareness and absorption in your goal, cultivating stillness and focus.Prajna (Light of Intelligence): The illumination of consciousness, revealing wisdom through intuitive understanding.These virtues...faith, courage, memory, focus, and wisdom... are essential for success in Yoga, helping practitioners overcome obstacles and achieve spiritual growth and self-realisation.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

What are you devoted to?As we continue our Devoted series through the book of Romans, we explore what it means to move from slavery to sin into a life devoted to Christ. Pastor Jon Eastlick unpacks Paul's teaching on obedience, righteousness, holiness, and the life-changing freedom found in Jesus.

Ezra's influence flowed from his devotion to Scripture. He set his heart to study the Word, practice it, and teach it to others. This episode asks one defining question: do you believe the Bible is the Word of God? How you answer will shape what you study, how you live, and what you pass on to others.
A Fortune 250 company's Salesman of the Year. Devoted husband. Faithful Catholic father and a 17-year addiction no one knew about, including his wife. John Edwards spent nearly two decades living two lives at once. He closed sales by day, chased down his dealer by afternoon, and kept the mask on at home so well that no one knew. It held together right up until the morning he sat in a jail cell on Good Friday with nothing left to control. This is the story of how a man hits the absolute bottom and finds out it was never the end of his story. Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down with John to talk about what actually drives addiction, why isolation is the devil's first move on a man, and how the wound of "am I enough" sends so many men looking for affirmation in all the wrong places. John Edwards is the founder of Pew Ministries and host of the Just a Guy in the Pew podcast.

Our text gives us a picture of a church devoted to one another. This is a far cry from a Christianity reduced to private belief, occasional attendance, or individual preference. The early believers did not ask, “How little can I be connected and still be considered Christian?” They expressed, by their actions, “How fully can we share life together now that Christ has made us family?” Yes, our world is different. There are churches on every corner. There are many options. People can leave easily. Preferences can dominate. Commitment can weaken. But the call of Acts 2 remains before us. The church is not merely a place to attend. It is a people to whom we belong. It is a family formed by Christ. It is a body filled by the Spirit. And if we will recover the devotion of Acts 2, perhaps we will also recover the beauty, power, unity, generosity, and witness of these first believers.
Disney has officially abandoned kids and families to chase the almighty dollar of Disney Adults. The obsessed, often drunk, and wildly loyal fans who drop thousands on trips with no children in tow. In this episode, we discuss how Disney is quietly redesigning parks, resorts, rides, and even their movies to cater to grown adults craving nostalgia, booze, and adult-only experiences, while families get pushed aside. You'll be shocked at how far Disney is willing to go to please their highest-spending demographic. 48 Minutes.

Woodland Campus | Pastor Jonathan continues our series of the summer of outpouring by teaching the importance of being devoted to prayer.
Believers from every background have been brought from death to life through the grace of Jesus Christ and united as one family. Because Christ has broken down the barriers that once divided people, we are called to love one another with genuine devotion, accepting one another, bearing one another's burdens, and building one another up. We're not in a club, we're in a family. As members of God's family, we reflect the love and unity that Christ has shown to us.

Together, they look at how the system gets us into debt and why that, frankly, sucks. They also look at the decline of the regional accent - more R's in Bostonian English, less twang in Texas - and the TikTok stars who are using regional accents to attract a following. Plus, CBS's lauded 60 Minutes is gutted, Trump's Freedom 250 concert is getting cancelled and there's pushback to... everything he does. Finally, does Graham Platner's sexting scandal matter?

Most of us have some version of church we've settled for. Show up. Sit down. Go home. But what if that's nowhere near what the church was actually designed to be?In Acts 2, the earliest followers of Jesus didn't just attend something — they were devoted to something. Devoted to each other. Devoted to prayer, Scripture, meals, and radical generosity. And the result? People noticed. Lives changed. The community grew — not because of a marketing strategy, but because they were genuinely becoming something different together.In this message, we explore what it looks like for a church to live into its full potential — and what's at stake when we settle for less.You'll walk away thinking about:Commitment — Some commitments require a "yes" even when you don't feel like it. What does it look like to be truly devoted to a community, not just a Sunday service?Maturity — Spiritual growth isn't a solo project. You don't become more like Jesus in isolation. Your development is connected to the people around you — and the community you're willing to stay committed to.Calling — Every person in the church is a minister. Every home is a center of ministry. The question isn't whether you have a role to play — it's whether you're playing it.This isn't a guilt trip about church attendance. It's an invitation to something far more meaningful than a weekly hour on Sunday.

Tonight, I'm going to tell you a very famous story from Thailand. The story was recommended to me by a fan, and I had never heard of it before. And the second I started looking into it, I knew – that I had to tell this one sitting in front of a campfire. As you listen, you might think you can guess what's going to happen next – but I had never heard anything like this before, and I bet you haven't either.

Strauss examines the role of Octavia, Octavian's sister, who married Antony in 40 BC to seal a peace treaty. While she is often portrayed as a devoted housewife, Strauss suggests she may have been a "fatal connection" providing intelligence to her brother. During this period, Octavian struggled in Italy against Sextus Pompey, a naval strategist who blockaded Rome's grain supply. Octavian's success was largely due to his friend Marcus Agrippa, a logistical genius who built a new navy and developed harpoons to immobilize enemy ships. Meanwhile, Antony's reputation suffered a major blow during his disastrous campaign against Parthia, where he lost approximately 25% of his army. In contrast, Octaviangained military "marks of honor" by being wounded during the Illyrian war. This shift in prestige allowed Octavian'sstar to rise as he used information warfare to frame Antony as a traitor unmanned by Eastern luxury. (3/8)1599
