16 And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.Undecim autem discipuli abierunt in Galilaeam in montem ubi consituerat illis Jesus. 17 And seeing him they adored: but some doubted.Et videntes eum adoraverunt : quidam autem dubitaverunt. 18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.Et accedens Jesus locutus est eis, dicens : Data est mihi omnis potestas in caelo et in terra : 19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.euntes ergo docete omnes gentes : baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti : 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.docentes eos servare omnia quaecumque mandavi vobis : et ecce ego vobiscum sum omnibus diebus, usque ad consummationem saeculi.[18] "All power": See here the warrant and commission of the apostles and their successors, the bishops and pastors of Christ's church. He received from his Father all power in heaven and in earth: and in virtue of this power, he sends them (even as his Father sent him, St. John 20. 21) to teach and disciple, not one, but all nations; and instruct them in all truths: and that he may assist them effectually in the execution of this commission, he promises to be with them, not for three or four hundred years only, but all days, even to the consummation of the world. How then could the Catholic Church ever go astray; having always with her pastors, as is here promised, Christ himself, who is the way, the truth, and the life. St. John 14.

Acts 4:1-12 (There is salvation in no one else.)

Darryl brings a powerful Easter Friday message titled “The Victory is in the V.” Looking at the cross, he unpacks how what looked like defeat was actually the turning point of victory. Jesus didn't avoid the suffering… He stepped into it, and in doing so, secured something far greater than we could imagine. This is the story of a victory that didn't look like winning at first—but changed everything forever.For up-to-date info, follow our socials: https://www.instagram.com/freedomchurchbenoni/https://www.facebook.com/FreedomChurchBenoniMore episodes on all podcast platforms and our YouTube channel:Follow the link below, or search "freedom church Benoni" on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, or YouTube Music!https://www.youtube.com/@freedomchurchbenoni/podcasts#freedomchurchbenoni #sundayfunday 

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Good Friday, the 3rd of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. I'm going to read from the Gospel of John 15:13-14 (Amplified Version): No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends. You are my friends if you keep on doing what I command you.” This is a very, very solemn day. It's a good day to come aside, wait and think and meditate on what Jesus has done for you and for me today. If He had not died on that cross, we would never, ever be able to receive eternal life. Have you thought about that? God became flesh. He died for you and me so that we have an opportunity to live forever.I went to Israel, the one time I went, I can't remember exactly the year, I went to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem. I know there are two places where they say that Jesus was buried. The one is in the Garden Tomb which is very special and very intimate and the other is a huge church in the middle of the Old City. As I walked through those doors, I sat on a little bench just inside the door and I looked up, and on the other side of that passage there are steps that go up to where they say, the Lord Jesus was crucified, and I've never done it before but I have felt so overwhelmed by the presence of God and what Jesus did for me, I started to weep and I didn't just weep gently. I wept and my dear wife, Jill, had to put her arm around me and comfort me and she said, ”Are you alright?” and I just nodded. The massive price that Christ paid for all of my sins! I want to say to you today, sit down somewhere, please. Have a cup of tea or coffee and think and give glory to God for what He has done for you and for me.We had a Mighty Men Conference on the farm here, many years ago. We called it, Dying to Live. If you want to live, you have to die, die to self and start to live for Christ because that's what Jesus did for you and for me on Easter Friday when He was crucified, an innocent Man, for our sins. I want to pray for you today. Maybe you've never done it before. Jesus, please forgive me for I am a sinner and I have messed up so badly. Please give me another chance. Thank you, that through your death I have an opportunity to have eternal life. I ask this in Your precious name, amen. God bless you and have a peaceful Easter Friday. Goodbye.

20260403 Easter Friday (Garth) by Melkbos Fellowship

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 2nd of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of John 13:14: “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet”.Spoken by the Prince of Glory humbled Himself and washed the dirty, dusty feet of His servants, His disciples. What an example!Then we go to Acts 6:5: “And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit,…” What happened? The apostles were so busy trying to feed the widows and the orphans and take care of the needy that they were not spending enough time in prayer and preparation and preaching. They said, “We will have to bring some men in that can do the menial jobs so that we can spend time in the presence of God. And who did they choose? They chose Stephen and a number of other men. Stephen was a man who became the first martyr in the New Testament. Folks, we need to understand something - If we want to really be used by God, we must humble ourselves. We must serve one another. We have a men's prayer meeting early in the morning, and the boys come together. This morning we were at that meeting and what a beautiful meeting it was! A lot of these men are ordinary working men. And women, I want to say to you as well, I just love that housewife. Oh yes, yes - what a job you have got! Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a housewife. She was chosen to serve, to wait upon the greatest Man who has ever walked on the face of the earth and He is coming back soon. As we contemplate Easter, Easter Friday will be tomorrow, as we think about that, l want to say to you, let us start to serve one another. Men always banter. Do you know what banter means? It doesn't mean that they are sarcastic, but they joke with each other, that is what men do, and this morning I had to laugh because the electrician in the group did a bit of plumbing and the plumber wasn't very happy with it. He said, “You are coming into my territory”, and they had a good banter and we all had a great laugh, but do you know what they do, both of those men? They serve their fellowmen. They fix the electrics when they break, they fix the dirty plumbing when it needs to be done, and they do it unto the Lord.Today, let us be waiters and serve one another as we think about Easter.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

The post Easter Friday: John 19: 1 – 30. appeared first on Gosford Presbyterian Church.

The American President's doing a live presser today on his war. The Australian Prime Minister's just wrapped a live address to the nation on the oil shock. And here, our Prime Minister is making his own announcement about a cabinet reshuffle. It's a bit of an odd time to do it. He's got Reti and Collins leaving, so he had to do it some point. The day before Easter Friday means he wants to spray and walk away for the weekend. The good news is there's plenty of talent to promote - the likes of James Meager and Chris Penk. Which is a contrast to the Opposition where the pool is quite shallow. Water comes up to your ankles. For Luxon, getting the right team around him is not just important for running the country, it's his entire election strategy. His pitch to voters is basically that he's the HR department. He prides himself on putting the right man in the right job. The fact he's doing it today also suggests that he's not listening to the press gallery, who criticised him for opening Christchurch's new stadium while Nicola Willis was left to front oil crisis stand ups and pressers. This is not necessarily a bad thing. He's doing other stuff. Like reshuffles, thank you very much. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Skeptic to Salvation (Originally recorded Sunday 21st. June, 2009 at 6:30 pm) Right mouse click to save the PDF of this testimony Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3 Heavenly Father, Almighty God, please hear my prayer. Please give me now the strength, ability, and most of all, the humility, through your Holy Spirit, to say what I want to read out to this congregation, as you would want me to read and say it Lord. Please allow me to keep control of myself, and my emotions, whilst doing so. I stand humbly before you Lord God, and before your beloved Son, Christ Jesus. Amen. For 59 years of my life, I lived with faith " only in myself ".I was at best a Sceptic, at worst an Atheist. I would go right out of my way to test and very strongly argue against anyone I met, who professed to have a faith, in any sort of God. I needed nothing, but my own free will. All my faith was "only" in myself. In 2002 / 2003 my world fell apart. I was left alone to myself. All my lifelong responsibilities disappeared. I became for 2 years a solitary hermit, living in my house, completely alone. It was during this time, alone, that I started to question, :- What my life was about. What was I here for. What was the reason for my being, if there even was one. I wanted, and so needed contact with other people. I needed to talk, to be listened to, and to listen to others. We are not meant to be solitary beings we are social creatures. We so need fellowship with others, like we need food. After over 2 years of self imposed solitary confinement, I was becoming worried about losing my ability to communicate with others. It was back just before Christmas 2005, I received through my door the usual annual programme of all the Churches in my area, listing all their events, over the Christmas period. I decided to systematically visit all of them. Not to seek faith. I'm a Sceptic, an Atheist. I just want to have communication with others. I visited most of the local Churches over the coming months, and always found people to speak and listen to, but none of the Churches somehow felt right for me, until I visited " Verwood Road Evangelical Chapel ", just up the road from where I live, in Three Legged Cross. Here I felt good, " well better ". I liked the way they did things. It was not a liberal church. It was more leaning towards, a Brethren sort of fellowship, but not too hard line. There was no pomp or high ceremony, no fancy clothes or precious things to see or worship. These were ordinary people, just like me. Over the next 10 months I visited V.R.C. " on and off " at first, maybe once or twice a month and found that I liked it more and more, so I went more and more. By October 2006, I found that I was wanting to go not only every Sunday but twice on Sundays. It was at this time that I seriously decided to the best of my ability, to very fully investigate just what this Christianity was really all about. How could so many intelligent, thinking people, believe in it? For the next 6 months, I lived in the single minded state of total study of the Christian faith. I devoted all of my time to the study of the Bible and many, many books, both for and against the Christian faith. I prayed and prayed so very hard to God to give me a definite sign - a proof that God was out there and not something made-up in my own mind. I was in heartfelt tears, many, many times, asking for some proof, a miracle even, a certain sign, anything, but no sign or proof came. I was God's for the taking, but both He, and my heart, wasn't ready. In late March 2007, something happened to turn me completely off Christianity. I went from very serious " single minded seeking " with all my heart and soul, TO - " This Christianity is certainly not for me ". It is not " at all " important what " event " occurred to cause this absolute turn around. It is only important to understand that it was very strongly driven by "My Own Self Pride ". God knew that it had to be, for Him to use it, to turn this 60 year old Atheist into a Christian. It was during my very powerful, and emotional efforts, to try and take a wrong, and turn it into a right, No matter what the cost, that my eyes were turned back into myself. To see, or to start to see, that all I hated and despised in others, was also, very present in myself. I was no better, than all those that I felt the very strong need to " bring to rights " in my life. It was at this moment in time, of now seeing, just what " I Am ", that my life changed forever. I was born on Easter Friday, Good Friday, the 4th. April. In 2007, Three days after my 60th. Birthday, at exactly 12:32 p.m. lunch-time on Easter Saturday, the 7th. April, I at last discovered, that I was nothing, undeserving of my life, A Sinner that so needed the forgiveness of God. This opened my heart to God, and at that very moment, He Came In. It was at this time, that I understood, for the very first time, the Amazing events of Easter, and that Jesus died for me, that I may have life, and live life, to the full. The next day, Easter Sunday, 2007, I took my first communion with my God. I would now like to say, that I am not a writer, I agree with " Winnie The Pooh Bear ", when he said.:- "Yes' I know all my letters, but my spelling is wobbly. It's good spelling, but it wobbles, and my letters get into the wrong places!" I'm not a poet either. I'm a practical man, an engineer. In the early hours of Easter Monday morning, 2007, at 1:30 a.m. whilst I was sat in my back porch thinking " in a daze " about what had happened to me on Easter Saturday, I picked up a pen and without thinking, wrote out the following poem. It is un-referenced, original and un-edited. It is just as it came down to me, 37 hours after finding my faith. This poem is called :- The Fellowship - ( Revealed ) I don't know where I'm going, I don't know where I've been, I don't know what's in store for me, But God has hold, to let me see. For he will surely show my way, My guide, to lead, to change each day. To give me life, I've never seen, To serve, to try, to make life clean, To hold me close, to let me go, To understand, To love me so. My God is One, with saviour Christ, He gave for me, The Total Price. My heart is found, the Ghost within, Salvation sealed, Forgiven Sin. My past remains, but all washed clean, My future comes, like it's never been. I cannot say the words I feel, Of things that are, to me so real. My sad, sad past, is gone, my futures clean, For with my eyes, new life I've seen. This gift of love, that has been given, Shall remain with me, right through to Heaven. The Fellowship - ( Revealed ) There is nothing good that can come out of me, from my own self, Self. Any good that may come from me, comes through me, from God. So please just Praise the Lord.

[John 21:1-14, Easter Friday]

Fr. Paul Born currently serves as the Parochial Vicar at Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish in Plymouth, Massachusetts.   In Today's Show: During the part of the mass where we name our pope and bishop to pray for them. What do we say when we are in a period with no pope? Can people eat meat on Easter Friday? Does a Saturday night vigil count for Divine Mercy Sunday? When we say prayers to God during mass are we specifically praying to God the Father or to the Holy Trinity generally? Do blessings on YouTube count? Did Mary's soul go to the underworld or straight to Heaven? Why were the chief priests skeptical about the resurrection? Can we actually say that there are male and female souls? What are Rogation Days? Are Rogation Days related to Ember Days? I'm giving to my parish online, but now I feel like I'm sticking out like a sore thumb by visibly giving during mass.

Happy Easter! He is Risen—Alleluia! On this Friday of the Easter Octave, Fr. Meyer reminds us that this is not a day for fasting and abstinence, but a day for feasting and rejoicing.   In this powerful reflection, he draws a striking contrast between Good Friday and Easter Friday, challenging us to live in the freedom of the Resurrection and not return to old habits.   ✨ Don't go back to your “pre-Lent” life.

16 And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.Undecim autem discipuli abierunt in Galilaeam in montem ubi consituerat illis Jesus. 17 And seeing him they adored: but some doubted.Et videntes eum adoraverunt : quidam autem dubitaverunt. 18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.Et accedens Jesus locutus est eis, dicens : Data est mihi omnis potestas in caelo et in terra : 19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.euntes ergo docete omnes gentes : baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti : 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.docentes eos servare omnia quaecumque mandavi vobis : et ecce ego vobiscum sum omnibus diebus, usque ad consummationem saeculi.

Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them?

Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.

By grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God

It did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

The mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who now restrains it is removed

Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy that we feel before our God because of you?

Do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world?
