Have you ever convinced yourself that one dating mistake cost you someone who could have been really special?Maybe you replayed the texts. The conversation. The moment you wish you could take back. And because genuine connection can feel so rare, you started believing you'd ruined your chance.It's a painful place to be, but it's also where our minds tend to tell us stories that simply aren't true.In this week's episode, I talk about why we obsess over early dating mistakes, how a scarcity mindset can make us believe we've lost our only chance at love, and why one moment almost never tells you what a relationship could have become.If you've ever struggled to let go of someone because you couldn't stop thinking, "If only I hadn't done that..." I hope this gives you a different way of looking at it.---►► Try Matthew AI for 24/7 coaching and advice anytime at AskMH.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

[audio mp3="https://cpcpca.org/wp-content/uploads/sermons/2026/06/06-21-2026-Sermon-Only.mp3"][/audio] Bible Text: Psalm 102| Pastor: Pastor Josh Anderson | Series: Summer in the Psalms
The sermon centers on the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, emphasizing that salvation begins with the Spirit's indwelling presence, which renews the heart and enables true spiritual life. Drawing from Ezekiel 36, it highlights God's promise to replace the hardened, stony heart with a new heart and spirit, making obedience to His statutes possible through divine enablement rather than human effort. The passage from John 14 underscores the Spirit as the eternal Comforter, uniquely received by believers because He dwells within them, a reality the world cannot perceive due to spiritual blindness. Through the life of Joseph as a type of Christ, the sermon illustrates how God's sovereign plan unfolds through suffering and divine empowerment, culminating in the believer's destiny to be conformed to Christ's image. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit's presence is the foundation of assurance, strength, and holy living, securing the believer's eternal hope and intimate communion with God.
Though David was not able to build the temple, he was able to make preparations to help Solomon when it came time for him to build God’s house. Teacher: Matt Burleson
Jesus's presence in the Blessed Sacrament affords us a wonderful opportunity. Just as we spend time with friends and loved ones just to be with them, our mental prayer is an occasion of simply being present with Jesus. Jesus did this during his earthly life with various groups and individuals. They cherished these days and hours alone with their Friend, Lord, and Teacher. We can do the same in our prayer life.

The Rebbe writes that moving to a new home brings both material and spiritual blessing. He encourages strengthening one's spiritual dwelling through Torah study, referencing sources that equate Torah learning with building a dwelling for the Divine. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/007/012/2214
This week, one of my clients came to her session and said she'd had a life-changing breakthrough.She thought she had a sales problem.But what she realized was much bigger than that.She had a self-punishment problem.She was laboring over every detail of her business.Constantly consumed by how she was coming across.Dwelling on her skill gaps.Fixating on what wasn't working.And trying to use self-critique as the thing that would finally make her better.But that's not how it works.Self-punishment does not make you more successful.It does not make you better at sales.It does not make your business safer.It just keeps you exhausted, overworking, and stuck inside the belief that something is wrong with you.In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact 3 steps my client used to get out of her head and dial down the self-critique that had been running the show for decades.We talk about:How to stop turning every result into proof that something is wrong with youHow to question the negative story your brain is telling about your businessHow to look at your sales, pipeline, and data with a clearer headHow to stop solving imaginary problems in your businessAnd how to build from groundedness instead of fear, shame, or self-critiqueAnd it may hit closer than you expect.Because you may not have a sales problem.You may not have a visibility problem.You may not have a credibility problem.You may have a self-punishment problem.And once you can see that clearly, you can stop beating the crap out of yourself and start building from a much cleaner place.If you've been looking for relief in your business, this episode is one you'll want to bookmark and come back to again.Because he first step to increasing your sales might not be more strategy.It might be learning how to stop punishing yourself long enough to actually see what's working.

In the final week of the Good Shepherd series, Pastor Curt Taylor explores the powerful conclusion of Psalm 23 and the hope found in following God through every season of life. This message reminds us that God not only guides and provides for His people, but also invites them to belong at His table and rest in His presence. Even in the midst of challenges, uncertainty, and difficult circumstances, God's goodness and mercy continue to pursue us. Pastor Curt encourages us to live with an eternal perspective, trusting that our present struggles are preparing us for something greater. As the series concludes, we are reminded that our ultimate destination is not found in this world, but in dwelling with the Lord forever.
Pastor Matt Ruckel continues the story of Nehemiah by looking through chapters 3 and 4. Nehemiah has assigned families in Jerusalem portions of the wall to rebuild while their enemies jeer and pester them with threats of harm. Each family had a responsibility to protect with a sword in one hand and build with a trowel in the other, even though they had no experience as warriors or builders. In this season of spiritual warfare we are in as a congregation, it is also important for us to come together to build and fight for each other. May your hearts be encouraged to link arms with your neighbor as we engage in prayer with the Lord.

We spend so much time optimizing how we live — our habits, our mindset, our routines. But what about where we live? On today's episode, two authors make a powerful case that the spaces around us matter more than we think. Leidy Klotz, author of In a Good Place: How the Spaces Where We Live, Work, and Play Can Help Us Thrive, reveals how thoughtful design of our environments can support wellbeing and flourishing. And Stefan Al, author of Dwelling on Earth: The Past and Future of the Places We Call Home, takes us on a sweeping tour of humanity's relationship with home — and what it means for the places we'll build tomorrow.

This week, Angela discusses the concept of 'life dehydration' versus living life on purpose. She draws parallels between physical dehydration and spiritual or emotional depletion caused by busyness, obligations, and overconsumption of news and social media. The episode encourages listeners to de-obligate their lives to rehydrate and focus on what truly matters: family, faith, friends, and community. Key Takeaways

11am Series: In Christ (Ephesians) Ephesians 2:11–22
Pastor Matt kicks off the summer in a new series, diving into the story of Nehemiah. Nehemiah's heart was never really about a wall or a building. When he prayed, he reminded God of His own promise, the word He had given through Moses. If My people return to Me, I will gather them and bring them to the place I have chosen to make My name dwell there. Nehemiah was asking God to do the very thing God had already said He longed to do - to dwell with His people. This desire runs like a thread through the whole Bible, and it's the heart cry of Big House Church. God, come and dwell in us and with us!Big House Church is cultivating a community of passionate worshippers who partner with Jesus to create a kingdom culture on earth as it is in heaven.

In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour explores one of the most remarkable themes in the Gospel of John: Jesus Christ as the true temple of God. Far more than a collection of miracles and teachings, John's Gospel presents Jesus as the fulfillment of the tabernacle, the temple, the sacrifices, and the entire system of Old Covenant worship. From "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" to the empty tomb, John reveals that everything pointed to Christ. Scholars have long noted John's extensive use of temple imagery to portray Jesus as God's ultimate dwelling place among His people. Join us as we trace these connections throughout John's Gospel and discover how the shadows of the Old Testament find their substance in Jesus Christ.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Grace and Faith Fellowship Thursday Night Bible Study
The Apostle Paul described our days with one word: perilous. The Greek is chalepos, and it appears only twice in the entire New Testament. The second occurrence is in Matthew 8:28, describing the demoniacs of Gadara, exceedingly fierce, broken chains in the dust, men who could not be bound or calmed by any human means. That is the force of the word Paul reaches for to describe the last days. Not inconvenient. Demonically energised. In this prophetic Sunday sermon, Pastor Olubi Johnson opens the full biblical framework: what the end-time perils are, why they are intensifying, and precisely how the mature believer overcomes them. The diagnosis of 2 Timothy 3:2-5 reads like a news feed: lovers of themselves, proud, unthankful, without natural affection, fierce, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. The most dangerous peril, Pastor Olubi Johnson notes, is not outside the church walls but the drift from living faith to empty form. The why is spiritual: Ephesians 2:2, the prince of the power of the air working in the sons of disobedience. As collective rejection of God intensifies, the earth opens as a theatre for spiritual deception and destruction. But Romans 8:19 reveals the answer creation has been waiting for: not politicians or scientists but the manifestation of the sons of God, a mature Church so saturated with the love and fullness of the Lord Jesus Christ that His power flows through them without resistance into every sphere of human need. The how is Psalm 91:1: he that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High. Not visits. Dwelling. The chashaq love, the deliberate daily clinging to God above every competing loyalty, produces the dwelling, and the dwelling produces the protection. Perfect love casts out fear because fear is not merely an uncomfortable emotion but a spiritual weapon, the mechanism through which the enemy gains access. First John 4:17 is the anchor: as He is, so are we in this world.

May 26 2026 Tuesday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 28 Dwelling Together #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word. That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT 'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.' Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Youar roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

His letter to the Galations is a vigorous attack against the gospel of works and a defense of the gospel of faith. Paul begins by setting forth his credentials as an apostle with a message from God: blessing comes from God on the basis of faith, not law. The law declares men guilty and imprisons them; faith sets men free to enjoy liberty in Christ. But liberty is not license.

Although the seraphim have never sinned, they cover their faces as they worship in the presence of God. Today on the Things Unseen podcast, listen as Sinclair Ferguson considers what this scene reveals about the uncreated holiness of our majestic Creator.

Lyle Phillips, lead pastor of Legacy Nashville, reminds us that we were created to live in continual encounter with God. As we seek His face above everything else and bring our desires to Him in prayer, we discover that God isn't distant. He invites us to ask, pursue, and expect to find Him. When we prioritize His presence, every other desire begins to find its proper place.
Continuing our series in Ephesians, Chad speaks on Ephesians 2:18-22 describing the way in which we, as the church, should be filled with the spirit and enjoy the manifest presence of God in our lives, making ourselves dwelling places for God.
If you wish to support our podcast, please visit this link. Thank you! Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. The fifth in a series of six episodes recorded during the In the Footsteps of the Buddha pilgrimage, this instalment was made in Kushinagar, India, in February 2026. In it, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach Jo Confino are joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister Tam Muoi and Dharma teacher Shantum Seth to reflect on the Buddha's final days and the legacy and continuation of his teachings. They also discuss Thich Nhat Hanh's passing and how Plum Village responded to his transition; the responsibility of current and future generations to continue his work and teachings; and the importance of the multi-fold community in preserving and spreading the Buddha’s teachings in a way that is relevant and accessible to the modern world. Furthermore, Shantum Seth provides historical context about the Buddha’s final journey and the events after his passing, including the first Buddhist council and the spread of Buddhism; Brother Phap Huu draws parallels between the Buddha’s and Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings and legacies; and Sister Tam Muoi discusses the importance of the monastic order in continuing the Buddha’s teachings – as well as Thich Nhat Hanh’s vision for the Plum Village tradition to evolve and adapt while staying true to its core principles. About the pilgrimage: In 1988, Shantum Seth was invited by Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) to organize a pilgrimage to the sacred sites associated with the Buddha's life across India. Subsequently, Thay encouraged Shantum to continue guiding such journeys each year, offering pilgrimage itself as a mindfulness practice – one that the Buddha had suggested. Shantum has been leading these transformative journeys ever since, offering people from around the world the opportunity to follow In the Footsteps of the Buddha with awareness and insight. After 15 years at the United Nations, Shantum left to volunteer with the Ahimsa Trust, which represents Thay's work in India and promotes the practice of “peace in oneself and peace in the world”.

There’s only one moment to live and to touch life, and that is the very here and now.”“All conditioned reality is subject to decay. Strive on diligently – essentially meaning, Everything is impermanent; keep up the practice.” “Dwelling happily in the present moment is the insight of meditation. But dwelling happily in the present moment doesn’t mean that suffering doesn’t exist; doesn’t mean that our anger and our frustration is not there. But, no matter what the situation is – whether it is loss, grief, frustration, chaos – as a practitioner, we have to have the ability to dwell in the very here and now, and allow ourselves to see that wonder, because that wonder is the light that shines through the darkness, the fog, the chaos.” “When we’re reaching the end of our lives, we want to declutter. We want to put our affairs in order. We want to make sure, to the best of our abilities, that we leave life clean, that we don’t leave arguments, resentments, and suffering behind for the next generation to have to deal with.” “I have never met an individual. I meet the entire lineage of that person stretching back to the beginning of time – because, if there’d been an interruption, then you wouldn’t exist.” “The Buddha said, ‘I’ve never taught with a clenched fist, I have offered all the teachings for you to be calm, peaceful, transform your emotions, and be liberated. And so keep the Dharma as your island and be a light unto yourself, and keep the Dharma as your island.' So he’s very clear that the Dharma is his continuation; the teachings and practice are his continuation.” “In a country like India, the Buddha exists at a very ambient level, in the way we live our lives and feel the interconnectedness of everything, with nature, with other people.” “If we know how to suffer, we’re going to suffer a whole lot less.” “Thay would always include our lay friends. Whenever he was teaching in any ceremony he would always add, ‘And our lay friends, our sisters and our brothers from the lay community, the multi-fold community.' He would always correct the language as he went along, even if it wasn’t written down, to include everybody. And this was such a teaching for us that we want to continue it. We do not want to be a monastic community where the monastics are the privileged ones. Instead, we are all practicing together and all have different capacities and different things that we can offer.” “Thay once shared that his vision is that, one day, we’re all walking in the marketplace and see a monk walking by with peace and grace. And that monk is a bell of mindfulness. You see that monk and you stop and just breathe, connecting back to your spiritual dimension. And then you go on.” “Thay empowered us, each of us, and now we can empower so many other people. And I think it’s a reminder that we don’t need to look for the teachers and what impact they had; instead, we can look at the impact we are having every day, in all the interactions we have, in all the people we meet, in all of the thoughts we have and all the words we speak, in all the actions. We, each of us, are a continuation. And we’re not a continuation to one other person; we’re a continuation to all of life. The way we are present in nature is the way that nature can be present for us. The way that we are available to other people then gives people the opportunity to be available to others.” “Everything Thay did, he always reflected back to the Buddha. The Buddha’s whole way of teaching was also to empower everyone he met, to water the seeds of mindfulness and awakening in every person.”
People often run away from God because we want to be free, but instead of freedom we find ourselves captured by our own passions. Appetites, fears, temper, envy, ambition, greed, lust, etc. rise up and take control. Every area of our personality is affected, but one of the deepest and most obvious areas is our sexuality. Over time our lusts cause us to do things with our bodies that have nothing to do with God's original purpose for giving us sexuality, which is reproduction (Ge 1 :28: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth...") and bonding by mutual desire and pleasure (Ge 24:67; 2Sa 12:24; Song of Solomon). The main subject of this passage is not sex. Paul is showing us the internal process which takes place when we walk away from God, in order to lead us toward a conclusion which he will state in chapter three (Ro 3:10-20). Humans aren't innocent victims. We're victims all right, but not innocent ones. Our sin comes from the rebellion which took place deep in our hearts. We make deliberate choices to be free from God's control. Paul doesn't tell us this to condemn us but to show us the path we must take when we're ready to come back. We must submit to the One who created us. Returning begins with submission because our problem began with rebellion. And though the main topic of this passage is not sex, no one could read it honestly and miss the point that God would certainly expect our submission to include bringing our sexuality back into His created purpose.

Bishop Robert Barron’s Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies
Friends, on this Fifth Sunday of Easter, there's a somewhat hidden theme that runs like a golden thread through the readings, and that theme is the temple. To understand the New Testament texts, we have to see the importance of the Jerusalem temple for ancient Israelites. It was the focal point of Jewish life—the political, cultural, and of course religious center of the country. It was seen, in almost a literal sense, as the dwelling place of God on earth.
