February 16, 2025 How to Uplift the Downcast Luke 13։10-17 Pastor Gabriel Orr Information about how to connect with us can be found at www.nobc.church Please join us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@NorthOaksBaptistChurch Please also check us out on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/NorthOaks We hope you have been blessed by this sermon. And we would love to have you join us in person if you are able.

Even if your strength is abated, and your grace is weakened, through your own sin — yet, being true saving grace, it shall never be annihilated. For it is a new creation; and nothing created by God, can be annihilated by us. Man is created by God; he may be killed by man; but he cannot be annihilated and brought to nothing. The tree and wood may be burnt to ashes, but it cannot be annihilated and brought to nothing, for it is part of the creation. Now, your grace was created by God also, if it is true, even though it is small. And therefore, though it may be weakened by your sin, it cannot be annihilated and brought to nothing.

Pastor Ed looks to Psalms of Lament, where we explore the deep cries of the human heart and the hope found in God. Starting with Psalms 42 and 43, we dive into themes of sorrow, longing, and restoration, uncovering how lament can be a pathway to renewed trust and intimacy with God. Lament as a Spiritual Practice: Discover the biblical tradition of bringing our pain, mourning, and questions to God. Hope Amid Despair: Learn how the psalmists navigate seasons of doubt and sorrow while clinging to the promises of God's steadfast love. Faith and Doubt: Explore the tension between questioning God and trusting His future grace. The Universal Cry for Redemption: Reflect on how creation itself groans for restoration, echoing our personal longing for healing and peace. Practical Tools for Worship and Reflection: Gain insights into how lament can enrich your spiritual journey, even in times of silence and loss. Join us as we unpack the raw honesty of the psalms, offering a lifeline of hope for those navigating the valleys of life. Whether you're mourning, seeking answers, or simply longing for a deeper connection with God, this sermon provides a space for reflection, renewal, and spiritual growth. Originally preached January 8, 2023

11/17/2024 Paul Bang Psalm 42-43 Book Two Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul? To the choirmaster. A Maskil[a] of the Sons of Korah. 42 As a deer pants for flowing streams,     so pants my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God,     for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?[b] 3 My tears have been my food     day and night, while they say to me all the day long,     “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember,     as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng     and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise,     a multitude keeping festival. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,     and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,     my salvation[c] 6 and my God. My soul is cast down within me;     therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,     from Mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep     at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves     have gone over me. 8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,     and at night his song is with me,     a prayer to the God of my life. 9 I say to God, my rock:     “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning     because of the oppression of the enemy?” 10 As with a deadly wound in my bones,     my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long,     “Where is your God?” 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul,     and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,     my salvation and my God. Send Out Your Light and Your Truth 43 Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause     against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man     deliver me! 2 For you are the God in whom I take refuge;     why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning     because of the oppression of the enemy? 3 Send out your light and your truth;     let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill     and to your dwelling! 4 Then I will go to the altar of God,     to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre,     O God, my God. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,     and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,     my salvation and my God.

Having a complete understanding of the financial system we've become accustomed to since birth is not only advantageous, but it's an absolute must. The gap between really understanding the impact and full gravity of inflation and living by a feeling or a suspicion is too wide to ignore. Nic Carter is an entrepreneur, investor, columnist and advisor in the Bitcoin crypto space. He's joining Tom today to break down some principle ideas and thoughts to help you at least research what you should be doing with your money, your government issued and government backed money. What's happening with crypto and NFTs isn't something you can ignore or sleep through. Bitcoin has been going strong for more than a decade. You have a moral obligation to yourself and to your family to at least understand how inflation works, why increasing assets is like theft of your dollar's value and how you can protect yourself and be part of the wealth redistribution in a way that benefits you more than harms you.

If you've been following the cryptocurrency and NFT conversation with us recently, you'll appreciate this incredible conversation with Robert Breedlove, a freedom maximalist and bitcoin-focused entrepreneur. If you haven't been following along, jump in now. This episode is less NFT and crypto wallet focused and more educational in that Robert breaks down inflation like very few can. Understanding something at its foundational level allows you to really think from first principles, which empowers you to make better decisions. Cryptocurrency is built on technology and Bitcoin has been performing like no other asset in history, but why and how is this possible? You may need to listen to this a few times, and may be even better with pen and paper to take notes. This is a crash course and deep dive on money, inflation, what property is, and why assets matter. Robert shares 5 properties of money: 1. Divisibility 2. Durability 3. Recognizability 4. Portability 5. Scarcity [Original air date: 10-12-21].

It's pretty normal that you think of reality being the world around us, the tangible things you see and interact with. You probably even include and make space for how your emotions influence perception and tie that into what creates your reality. Donald Hoffman is joining Tom for another mind-bending episode to challenge if we're actually living in a false reality. Donald Hoffman is a cognitive scientist that has argued against reality and the limitations of spacetime. Some questions being posed in this episode that will stretch your beyond your limits are: -What is beyond spacetime? -What is the true structure of objective reality? -Is it possible evolution has shaped us in a way that guides our behaviors and therefore how we see objective reality? -His idea of comparing our current reality to that of living in a virtual headset is being taken to the next few levels up and exploring the strategies we use to survive the game of life. Check out Donald Hoffman's latest book, The Case Against Reality, Why Evolution Hid The Truth From Our Eyes here: https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-Reality-Evolution-Truth/dp/0393254690 [Original air date: 1-17-23] Follow Donald Hoffman: Website:http://www.cogsci.uci.edu/~ddhoff/ Email: ddhoff@uci.edu Twitter: https://twitter.com/donalddhoffman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donalddhoffman/ SPONSORS: Head to https://netsuite.com/THEORY for Netsuite's one-of-a-kind flexible financing program for a few more weeks!  Get 5 free AG1 Travel Packs and a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at https://drinkag1.com/impact.

Welcome to another power-packed episode of Impact Theory, I'm Tom Bilyeu!  In this episode, I'm joined by David Friedberg, a self-described “extreme optimist” who believes that capitalism – specifically entrepreneurship – is the fastest way to improve human productivity and potential, unlocking a more abundant and sustainable future for all.  Today we're getting into the economic challenges the U.S. face, specifically the risks associated with high debt relative to GDP, and how excessive taxation to service this debt can stifle investment and have lasting detrimental effects on economic growth. We explore the transformative potential of gene editing, including promises for agricultural advancement and just be the answer to sustainable nutrition for a rapidly growing global population. We also examine the balance between technological progress and regulatory oversight, the societal divide over adopting new innovations, and how AI could redefine creativity and productivity.  If you're serious about innovation and understanding the future of our economy, you won't want to miss this episode.

To know where you are going, they say you should know where you've been. Science fiction has been well documented for its often accurate predictions and a loved being a social curiosity for many. In this episode, Tom is joined by physicist and bestselling science fiction author, David Brin. David exposes how science fiction can be more accurately described as “speculative history” than anything else. Their conversation explores society through history from the Periclean times all the way through modern U.S. politics and what a transparent society top-down, and bottom-up would imply and necessitate.

Why is being rich something so many people want, but so few achieve. Does being successful guarantee becoming rich? Obviously that requires you to define what success is for you and your journey. The funny twist in all of this is that being rich is so easily fantasized and yet the work it takes to become rich and successful is barely thought of. Jim Rohn said, “Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.” As hard as that is to accept as truth, it is evident when you look at elite athletes, world-class performers, and the best of the best in any field. When you watch this, understand that Tom's drive is always fulfillment, meaning, and purpose. The work it takes to achieve his level of success is not easy nor is it for the faint of heart. It's not impossible, and it's not the only path forward, but it has proven to be majorly successful over and over again. The path to becoming rich and successful is going to require you to dig deep and it requires skills, grit, and determination for you to tap into a level of potential you never knew was possible.

Welcome to another episode of Impact Theory, I'm Tom Bilyeu!  In today's episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as we tackle a wide range of critical issues facing America today. RFK is a politician from the Kennedy Family, he is a son of U.S. attorney general and senator Robert F. Kennedy, and nephew of U.S. president John F. Kennedy and senator Ted Kennedy. He is also an advocate for public health, border security, and political reform, and an independent candidate in the 2024 presidential election.  From the harrowing realities at the U.S. border, RFK underscores the urgent need for strong border security and a compassionate, streamlined immigration process. He also shares his bold ideas for cutting the military budget, focusing on economic power rather than military might, and advocating for sound fiscal policies to address national debt and inflation. We also discuss:  - Issues of chronic disease, addiction, and economic challenges - Printing money, inflation, and national debt as economic threats - Embracing blockchain & cryptocurrency to counter inflation - Integrating bitcoin to save the dollar & create wealth - Decline in American values & constitutional adherence - Compromised press & spread of government propaganda - Social media algorithms amplifying societal polarization This is just Part 1 of our conversation, so make sure you don't miss Part 2 of this convo for even more with RFK.

If you don't understand how to manage your money then your chance of achieving financial success and freedom goes to zero. When you don't know the rules to the game of money it's almost impossible to win. Wallstreet Trapper built the skills he needed to become a fundamental investor, a speaker, a stock market education, and an entrepreneur after doing over 8 years in prison, selling drugs and not having any advantages in life. One of the best things you can consider doing to improve your finances is to get into stocks, learn how to leverage real estate and build a business that generates value. Something you'll want to consider from this episode: Have you learned the money game Are you prepared to exit the money matrix How can you become an investor What is keeping 99% of people broke [Original air date: 3-30-23]. QUOTES: “Wealthy people do three things. They stop trading time for money, they make their money work for them and they give as much value to people as they can.” “Just coming up in the streets you only see the game from the lowest level, and you look at everybody else in part admiration and part jealousy.” “Being at the bottom teaches you to envy people at the top.” “Once I broke the game down to a way I could understand it, it wasn't about me being brilliant , it was like how do I make the game winnable for me” “Everybody won't be able to build a million dollar business, but everybody can invest in one.” “If you're bold enough to bet on the future and be patient enough to let it take place you will win and you will win big.” “A dollar that's not moving is a dollar that's losing.” Follow Wallstreet Trapper: Website: https://www.wallstreettrapper.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Wallstreet504 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR6hXiWOlFWc46qMFMClKHA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wall_street_trapper/ SPONSORS: Head to https://netsuite.com/THEORY for Netsuite's one-of-a-kind flexible financing program for a few more weeks!  For comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit https://yahoofinance.com Visit https://betterhelp.com/impacttheory to get 10% off your first month  Explore the Range Rover Sport at https://landroverusa.com Get 5 free AG1 Travel Packs and a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at https://drinkag1.com/impact.

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt researches moral psychology to help us understand ourselves and our world better. He is an expert on how we create webs of meaning that allow us to speak a common language, build institutions, and create functioning societies. And right now we may need his voice more than ever, as our webs of meaning seem to be in conflict with each other or slowly disintegrating. On this episode of Conversations with Tom Bilyeu, Jonathan Haidt explains why we need to lead with empathy, how to persuade people who have staked out very different positions from yours, and how to invite disconfirming evidence into your life.
