Listen in as Pastor Kirk Shelton shares another message in his series on God's Will. This week, he is taking a look again at Discovering God's Will. The text is Proverbs 3:1-8.   www.CalvaryFayetteville.com info@CalvaryFayetteville.com 479-442-4634

Romans 12:1-2 provides a practical roadmap for discovering God's will, which Paul describes as 'good, pleasing, and perfect.' The journey begins with understanding God's mercy—how He justified us freely, made peace with us, united us with Christ, gave us His Spirit, declared 'no condemnation,' and included us in His story. This mercy becomes the foundation for our response of surrender. Paul calls believers to offer their bodies—their entire physical existence—as living sacrifices. This means making ourselves completely available to God, not just in spiritual matters but in practical daily living: our schedules, finances, habits, and relationships. This daily surrender constitutes our 'true and proper worship,' extending far beyond Sunday services to encompass our entire lives. The second key element is mind renewal. Rather than being conformed to the world's patterns of thinking, believers must undergo transformation through Scripture saturation, Spirit-led prayer, Christian community, and worship. This renewal isn't instantaneous but happens thought by thought, day by day. As our minds align with God's truth, we develop the ability to 'test and approve' God's will. Practical discernment follows a pattern: starting with surrender, consulting Scripture, praying deeply, seeking wise counsel, paying attention to providence, and taking steps of faith. Through this process, God's will becomes increasingly clear, not as a mysterious puzzle but as the natural outworking of a surrendered, renewed life.

"If the enemy cannot destroy you, he will discourage you." God brought the prophet Elijah through a particularly discouraging time, and He can do the same for you.

Recorded 09-07-2025 Pastor Larry Stephens brings God's Word from I Timothy 3:1-13 on "Discovering God's Servants." The challenge is to examine the qualifications of Overseers and Deacons.  I. The Right Man for the Right Time (vvs. 1-7): A modern-day description of these  characteristics may look like this: A good pastor will be 1. Kind and Caring.  2. Teachable  and Studious.  3. A Good Communicator of The Gospel.  4. Practices  Spiritual Disciplines   II. A Deacon is a Servant, Nothing More, Nothing Less (vss. 8-13).

Our world today is in a time of great upheaval. From Russia and the Ukraine, Israel and the Middle East, Iran and North Korea, China and Taiwan, there is intensifying political, military, economic and social instability, as well as in South Africa and the U.K. So where is God when it seems the very foundations of whole nations are shaking? Is there any hope when everything seems hopeless? And how do we cope in times of great change in our personal lives especially when people we knew and loved are no longer with us?   Only this week we in King's Church International have faced a moment of irreversible transition with the passing of one of our well-loved and most faithful pastors. A former atheist, Pastor Terry Beasley served in countless roles for over six decades since becoming a Christian at the age of 16 until his death this week at the age of 79. For so many people, both locally and in other nations, he was part of the ever-dependable fabric of our lives, always willing to help people spiritually, practically and emotionally. He was a wonderful husband to his equally faithful wife Margaret for almost 57 years. He was a devoted father and grandfather, a wise community and church leader and not least he was our Senior Pastor's closest friend since school days and an ever-dependable supporter who helped him through many seasons of life and ministry.    When we lose such sincere, life enhancing people like this, when we see the state of the world around us, it's like experiencing an earthquake when the very ground we have stood on is being shaken. And yet it is at such times that we can find a sure foundation and hope for the future by discovering God and His unshakable kingdom.   Isaiah 6:1-8 begins ‘In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord.' Uzziah, also known as Azariah, was one of Judah's greatest Kings who reigned for 52 years. In the earlier part of his kingship, under the influence of his godly advisor Zechariah, Uzziah was faithful to God and did right in the Lord's eyes. However, Uzziah's success made him proud leading to his downfall and death around 740 BC.   `Pastor Terry in contrast remained faithful to the Lord all his life but now he too has suddenly gone. Yet we, like Isaiah in the time of the removal of someone who had always been part of his life, can also experience what happened to Isaiah. For it was in the very season that the old had ended, something new was happening. In a season of death, new life was emerging. In the time of great darkness, there came new light. What Isaiah experienced in a year of major change gave him a whole new perception of the condition of his own life and about the future direction of his life.  1. He had a new vision of God (Isaiah 6:1; Job 26:9; Psalm 9:4-7; Lamentations 5:19; Ezekiel 1:26; Daniel 7:9; Revelation 4:1-11; Isaiah 6:2-4) 2. He had a life changing encounter with God (Isaiah 6:5-7; John 16:8; 1 John 1:9) 3. He received and obeyed a strong call from God (Isaiah 6:8-9) Apply  1. He had a new vision of God. He had a vision of God who is high above everything (Isaiah 6:1). The God of the Bible is far above every other power and ruler. He is God Almighty, the ‘great God' that Handel said he glimpsed as he wrote The Messiah. This awesome God is the ultimate and eternal authority over all creation: the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Like Isaiah, many people in the Bible who had a vision of God in heaven spoke of God's throne (Job 26:9; David in Psalm 9:4-7; Jeremiah in Lamentations 5:19; Ezekiel 1:26; Daniel 7:9; & the Apostle John in Revelation 4:1-11). Isaiah may have been depressed or discouraged because a great leader of Judah was no longer on the throne. But then Isaiah had a vision of God in heaven. Despite Uzziah no longer being on his throne, God was still on His. And that remains true today in every changing circumstance of life. For always the Lord reigns over all. He also had a vision of a Holy God (Isaiah 6:2-4). Isaiah had a revelation of heavenly beings who constantly spoke of the holiness and glory of God. The name seraphim means “burning ones.” Holiness means that God is set apart from any other being by His perfection and purity. Holiness in the Bible refers to a majestic God whose character is without any flaw and whose awesome presence changes everything and everyone who experiences it. Just one experience, even one glimpse of a holy God, will change your whole life and perspective, just as it changed Isaiah's.  2. He had a life changing encounter with God. He saw what a sinner he was (Isaiah 6:5-7). When Isaiah saw the intense brightness of a holy God, he suddenly felt very dirty. Any self-righteousness he may have had was immediately stripped away. He felt that he was ruined because he was so unclean and living among people who were so unclean. This awareness and confession of sin is essential if we are to find God, and is one of the roles of the Holy Spirit (John 16:8). You cannot find God when you try to make out how good you are, but only when you recognise how bad you are and how great is your need of God to make you clean. In the same moment Isaiah admitted how sinful he was, he discovered how God could remove his sin, and experienced great forgiveness and cleansing (Isaiah 6:6-7). Isaiah had a powerful experience of being forgiven and freed from guilt. He discovered what the Bible calls grace. That's why Jesus, God in human form, came to shed His pure blood so that we could all be cleaned up on the inside and come to know friendship and fellowship with a holy God (1 John 1:9). Not only can we be washed clean by the blood of Jesus, we can also be touched in our lives and the words of our lips by the fire of the Holy Spirit just as the first disciples experienced on the Day of Pentecost. William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, prayed ‘God of burning cleansing fire' give us ‘strength to ever do the right and power to walk the world in white.' The Salvation Army logo has long been Blood and Fire. Every one of us needs a pivotal encounter with God that William Booth and Isaiah experienced.  3. He received and obeyed a strong call from God. He heard God calling for people to represent Him (Isaiah 6:8). God was looking to recruit Isaiah to represent Him and to go and speak to his generation for Him. Isaiah was given the clear and tough task of proclaiming coming judgement to a rebellious and God-rejecting nation. It was a far from popular message, but God wanted to give every opportunity to those who would listen and repent. Isaiah's response to this great challenge was positive, deciding to obey the call of God on his life (Isaiah 6:8-9). Isaiah made himself totally available to God, committing to be sent, to go, do and say what God wanted. Today in this turbulent moment of history in our nation and in the nations, God is calling to every one of His followers to be fully dedicated to Him. Will you be a man or woman to answer the call of God? Will you as young people become unashamed ambassadors to your generation? Will you stand in the gap to carry the gospel torch that Pastor Terry has now laid down? Will you faithfully tell the good news of Jesus? Will you be a preacher, teacher, pastor or evangelist? Will you be His representative in your home, neighbourhood, workplace and society? Will you say ‘Lord here I am, send me'? 

Pastor Seth S. Kim spoke on Ephesians 1:7-10 during Part 4 of the Unlocking Life sermon series, where we learned we can recover our purpose when we discover God's purpose.

Sometimes we fail to believe what God believe's about us: that we are fully capable of accomplishing His plans for us.

Send us a textWhat happens when you gather a diverse community to unpack a phrase we often say but rarely examine? In this unique experiment, Matt brings together members of the Greater Things community to explore what it means to "raise your kids in the ways of the Lord."The conversation unfolds like a beautiful tapestry as each person contributes their distinct understanding. Elaine, a beauty therapist from Scotland, speaks passionately about how God's ways are reflected in our unique creation, down to the cellular level. "Each person is completely uniquely created," she explains, connecting this revelation to how she approaches her clients with individualized care.For Claire, a mother of four girls, the ways of the Lord are tied to identity and experiencing God's love beyond just cognitive knowledge. She vulnerably shares her journey: "I think before I've had a head, cognitive 'yes I know God loves me' agreement, but there's been that massive gap between that knowledge and the experienced reality of it."The wisdom deepens as Merle and John, a married couple with decades of faith experience, offer their perspectives. Merle describes God's ways as "spacious and perfect," painting vivid images of open gates and wildflower meadows representing the freedom God provides. John, approaching his 70th birthday, draws from 1 Corinthians 13 to explain that God's ways are simply the ways He loves—patient, kind, and never insisting on His own way.What makes this episode remarkable is how the conversation itself demonstrates the kingdom of God in action—multiple voices contributing to a richer revelation than any single perspective could provide. When Claire honestly admits she currently feels on a narrow path rather than in a spacious place, it doesn't diminish Merle's insight but rather expands the group's collective understanding.Join this authentic community conversation and discover how different perspectives on God's ways might illuminate your own journey of faith and parenting. What might it mean for you to walk in or raise others in "the ways of the Lord"?Support the showwww.greaterthingsinternational.com

In Ruth 1, Naomi faces famine, loss, and deep bitterness, yet God's unseen hand is still at work. Pastor Tyler reminds us that God's sovereignty doesn't erase our pain, but holds us through it. Even in seasons when prayers seem unanswered and God feels distant, His purposes remain unshakable, and His presence is near to the brokenhearted.Questions for Reflection:• How can remembering God's sovereignty bring hope in the middle of pain?• What steps can you take now to build godly relationships before you face a hard season?

No one is immune to experiencing pain in this life. However, the story of Joseph reminds us that even in unfair and difficult situations, God's plan is always at work.

1 Thessalonians 4 reveals that God's will for our lives is not just about what we do, but who we are—set apart for Him. True purpose flows from surrender to Christ, leading to a life that glorifies God, blesses others, and reflects holiness in every area, especially in love and purity.

A faithful follower of Jesus is well accustomed to waiting. God's timeline rarely seems to match ours. But it's important to know that delays are not always denials.

In this episode of the CityLight Podcast, Pastor Bo unpacks a powerful message on one of God’s most often overlooked attributes—His gentleness.  In David’s final words, he declares, “God’s gentleness has made me great.” It was in God’s tender, caring nature that David found comfort, grace, and mercy—strengths that carried him through life’s most challenging moments.  Pastor Bo also looks at Peter and others who desperately needed—and beautifully received—God’s gentleness. Through their stories, we’re reminded of how this quiet strength of God can transform our own lives today.(00:00) Discovering God's Hope and Grace(11:03) Experiencing God's Gentleness and Mercy(22:36) Restoring Peter's Love and Calling(28:14) God's Gentleness and Redemption(39:49) Encountering God's Gentle Redemption(48:42) Endless Grace and Worshipwww.citylightnyc.com

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through a thoughtful reading of Isaiah chapters 29 to 31 and James chapter 1. Together, we reflect on powerful themes of trust, humility, and transformation. Hunter invites us to consider what it means to truly accept the Word that God has planted in our hearts—a Word that points to Jesus Himself, the living Word with the power to save and transform lives. As we journey through these Scripture passages, we're reminded of the importance of not just hearing God's Word, but letting it shape our actions, attitudes, and relationships. Hunter wraps up with a time of heartfelt prayer, encouraging all of us to walk in God's joy, strength, and love throughout the day ahead. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's discover together what God is saying to us today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What is the word that God has planted in your heart? That's the important question James is asking, and one we must truly consider. The apostle James urges us to humbly accept the word that God has planted in our hearts because it has the power to save our souls. So, let's be clear about what that word is. The word that saves and transforms is not our performance or even our own striving—it is the Living Word, our Lord Jesus. Jesus is the One with the power to save your soul, and – as Hunter so clearly reminds us – he's already done it. That is the good news. It's not about what we do. It's about Christ—his life, his saving power, his indwelling presence. This is the true Word with the power we need, both to save and to change us. James reminds us that humbly receiving this gift brings transformation, not only for eternity, but for the here and now. The gospel—the good news of Jesus—has that kind of power. We are invited to look deeply into the “perfect law that sets us free,” to gaze into that mirror and see the origin of our design, the very image of our Creator, and to recognize who we really are in Christ. When we see ourselves through the gospel—when we remember who we are because of the One who lives in us—we find power to overcome, to live newly, to control our tongues as James instructs, and to love those in the world who are most vulnerable. What seemed impossible—self control, selflessness, deep compassion—is now possible, not because of our effort but because of Christ who lives in us and has made us new. So what is the word God has planted in your heart? It is Jesus—and he makes all the difference. Let's remember what we see when we look in that mirror: see him, see what he has done, and see what we have truly become. That's the truth that empowers us to live out this day in his joy, in his power, and in his love. That's the prayer for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family—my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation, shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, Heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And our Lord. Make my hands ready for mercy, make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. The Lord's Prayer: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
