Send us a textPsalm 23: Anchored Faith in a Shaken World – Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional PodcastGrief may whisper in the quiet, but tonight we discover how a prayer of sorrow opens the door to fierce hope. This message takes you straight into Psalm 23 for those who feel like the ground is shifting—fear, anxiety, political chaos, and leaders who preach faith without living under the authority of Scripture.Here, the Shepherd steps into the valley. He doesn't flinch. He walks with you. And His rod and staff are still enough to comfort and guide.We confront the drift in modern churches, the noise of politics, and the temptation to put our trust in flags, parties, and platforms. Instead, we return to the basics of real discipleship:Holiness that costs.Prayer that contends.Fasting that clears the fog.Scripture that still speaks with living fire.Hebrews 12 lifts our eyes above headlines to the Author and Finisher of our faith. Psalm 23 and Psalm 91 stop being just verses and become breath in hard places: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil” … “He will command His angels concerning you.”Along the way, we uncover why real revival often blooms under pressure, what the persecuted church teaches us about courage, and how simple acts like communion at home reclaim the raw power of grace. No theatrics. No gatekeepers. Just bread, cup, and the King who prepares a table before our enemies.If you're weary of spiritual performance and hungry for the real presence of God, this episode will anchor you in His promises. Expect challenge. Expect comfort. Above all, expect the Shepherd Himself to lead you.

Send us a textThe spiritual landscape of our world is in crisis. With unflinching clarity, Reverend Ben Cooper confronts the troubling reality of modern Christianity, where celebrity pastors with security details have replaced the humble carpenter from Nazareth who walked unprotected among his enemies.Drawing from 2 Thessalonians, Cooper exposes what Scripture calls "counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders" proliferating through celebrity church culture. These displays of religious showmanship - pastors causing mass fainting with a wave of their jackets or being treated like royalty - stand in stark contrast to Jesus who worked with his hands to support his family. "Jesus didn't have a TikTok account, security guards, or a private jet," Cooper reminds us. "He's the king, the real man."This message cuts through denominational divides to focus on what truly matters - authentic relationship with Christ. Cooper warns against sowing financial seeds into millionaire ministries while struggling families lack basic necessities. "The greatest gift you'll ever give is a Bible to someone," he emphasizes, encouraging listeners to help neighbors with groceries or fuel rather than funding lavish religious empires.At its heart, this podcast calls believers back to prayer and Scripture. For those unsure how to pray, Cooper suggests starting with Psalm 23 and the Lord's Prayer - simple yet profound entry points to deeper communion with God. His passionate plea reminds us that no political solution can fix our spiritual crisis; only returning to Jesus himself will bring the transformation we desperately need.Whether you're disillusioned with modern church culture or seeking authentic faith in confusing times, this message offers both challenge and hope. Step away from religious performance and rediscover the carpenter who changed everything through sacrificial love.Support the showThank you for listening!

Der stärkende Mann · Julius Obeng Adu · Elim Kirche Hamburg · 2025-09-28 by Elim Kirche Hamburg

Send us a textFrom London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper delivers a powerful and unshakable word answering one of the greatest questions of all time: What sets Christianity apart from every other belief system on earth?This message takes us into 2 Chronicles 15, showing how Israel's spiritual decline mirrors our modern world—nations adrift, abandoning God's truth, and embracing confusion. Yet the sermon goes further, taking us to the cross of Christ where Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea physically carried the body of Jesus and were covered in His blood. This vivid picture reveals the very essence of salvation: when we embrace the Word of God, we too are covered by the redeeming blood of Christ.Unlike every other religion, Christianity alone proclaims an empty tomb. While the world can point to the graves of founders long dead, Christians serve the living God who defeated death and reigns forever. The resurrection is not a side note—it is the cornerstone that changes everything.Biblical Foundation:“For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law.” – 2 Chronicles 15:3“But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” – 2 Chronicles 15:7“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!” – Luke 24:5–6“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.” – John 11:25Episode Highlights:Why Christianity stands alone among world religions.The prophetic parallel between 2 Chronicles 15 and our present age.The symbolism of Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea covered in Christ's blood.The archaeological and historical witness of the empty tomb.How the resurrection secures our eternal hope.Life Application: In a world filled with spiritual counterfeits and moral confusion, this message reminds us that our faith rests not in a philosophy, but in a risen Savior. Be encouraged that your work, your faith, and your perseverance are not in vain. Just as 2 Chronicles 15:7 declares, “Be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” Because Jesus lives, you can face tomorrow with strength, courage, and confidence that your hope is secure.Call to Action: Support this listener-funded ministry and help us continue spreading hope through daily devotional messages.☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/RBChristianRadio 

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why following Christ feels more difficult than you imagined? Many believers begin their faith journey expecting blessing, protection, and victory at every turn—yet quickly discover that trials, disappointments, and hardships are often part of the Christian walk. This tension leaves many asking: “Am I doing something wrong?”The truth is, you are not failing in your faith because you are struggling. In fact, you may be walking the very path Scripture describes as authentic discipleship.Paul's Testimony: Strength in SufferingFew lives illustrate this more vividly than that of the Apostle Paul. Once Saul of Tarsus—a man of privilege, status, and influence—Paul surrendered everything when he encountered Christ on the Damascus Road. From that moment, his life was radically redefined, not by worldly success but by relentless suffering and unwavering faith.In 2 Corinthians 11, Paul catalogues his hardships: imprisonments, countless beatings, shipwrecks, hunger, sleepless nights, and constant danger. Far from being exceptions, these became his normal reality. Yet rather than weakening his faith, these trials revealed the power and sufficiency of God in ways comfort never could.Just one chapter later, Paul shares his intimate struggle with a persistent affliction—the famous “thorn in the flesh.” Despite pleading for relief, God's answer was not deliverance but revelation:“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).Paul's response has sustained believers for centuries: “When I am weak, then I am strong.”The Biblical PatternThis paradox is not unique to Paul. It runs through the entire biblical story:Moses felt inadequate to confront Pharaoh, yet God used his weakness to display His power.David, the shepherd boy, defeated Goliath not with human strength but by relying on God.Jesus Himself declared, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:10).Even Christ's own journey—the cross before the resurrection—demonstrates that God's greatest victories often come through apparent defeat.What This Means for Us TodayThe message is clear: following Jesus is not a guarantee of prosperity or ease. Instead, it is a call to daily surrender, trust, and dependence. Hardship is not evidence of God's absence but the very place where His presence becomes most real.For believers navigating storms today—whether financial pressures, broken relationships, health struggles, or spiritual battles—Paul's words are a beacon of hope. Your trials are not wasted. Your weakness is not failure. It is the stage upon which God displays His strength.Living the ParadoxThis “strip-back” process—where God removes our self-sufficiency and worldly securities—deepens our reliance on Him. In the wilderness, we discover manna. In weakness, we discover grace. In suffering, we discover the felloSupport the showThank you for listening!

Send us a textFrom London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper brings a powerful devotional that links two life-changing passages of Scripture: John 14:1–6 and Psalm 46.Jesus speaks directly to our troubled hearts in John 14: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me… I am the way, the truth, and the life.” These words are not just comforting, they are life-giving — a promise of peace, eternal security, and direction when everything around us feels uncertain.Then Psalm 46 takes us even deeper: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble… Be still, and know that I am God.” This psalm reminds us that in the very centre of life's storms, when the earth shakes and nations are in uproar, God remains unshaken. He is not distant, He is present — a safe place, a strong tower, and an anchor for our souls.

Gott sucht Helden · Gabriel Häsler · Elim Kirche Hamburg · 2025-09-21 by Elim Kirche Hamburg

Send us a textFrom London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper brings a message that goes right to the heart of the Christian faith: Who is Jesus Christ?In a world filled with countless opinions, social media debates, and competing voices, there is no greater question to answer. This episode invites you to set aside the noise and come back to the authority of God's Word. Through powerful passages in Hebrews 1, John 1, and Colossians 1, we see how Scripture consistently and clearly reveals the true identity of Jesus:The eternal Word, who was with God and is God.The Creator and Sustainer of all things.The exact representation of God's being, the visible image of the invisible God.The resurrected King, who conquered death and offers eternal life to all who believe.Unlike every founder of other world religions—who lived, taught, and died—Christ alone rose from the grave. His resurrection is not a side-note in Christian teaching; it is the cornerstone of our faith. Without it, there is no Christianity. With it, we have unshakable hope, forgiveness of sins, and the promise of eternal life.Biblical Foundation:“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.” – John 1:1–3“The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word.” – Hebrews 1:3“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in Him all things were created… He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” – Colossians 1:15–17“For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross.” – Colossians 1:19–20Episode Highlights:Why the question “Who is Jesus?” is the most important question you will ever answerHow the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, consistently testifies to Christ's divinityWhy the resurrection of Jesus is the ultimate proof of His LordshipThe dangers of reducing Jesus to a mere teacher, prophet, or religious leaderWhy denominations, traditions, or personalities cannot save—only Jesus canCommunion as the living reminder that Jesus is present with His people and reigning as KingLife Application: This message calls us beyond intellectual arguments and apologetic battles. While the world debates, the Word of God declares who Jesus is. As Reverend Ben reminds us: “Don't follow denominations. Don't follow me. Follow Jesus.”Take time this week to meditate on Hebrews 1, John 1, and Colossians 1. Ask the Holy Spirit to deepen your understanding of Christ's glory.

Wie Mann mit Frauen umgeht · Matthias C. Wolff · Elim Kirche Hamburg · 2025-09-14 by Elim Kirche Hamburg

Send us a text In this episode, recorded in London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper delivers a deeply challenging and prophetic message under the theme “No Flag but Jesus.” Drawing from the powerful words of Deuteronomy 8, this devotional takes listeners into the heart of God's reminder to His people during their wilderness journey.For forty years, Israel was humbled, tested, and refined in the desert. They experienced hunger, but God provided manna that no one had ever seen before. Their clothes did not wear out, and their feet never swelled. Through every trial, God was teaching them one fundamental truth: “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.”Centuries later, Jesus Christ Himself echoed these words in Matthew 4:4 when He was tested in the wilderness. Hungry and physically weak, He resisted temptation by declaring that His life was sustained not by earthly bread but by the eternal Word of God. This connection reveals an unchanging truth: God's Word is the ultimate source of life, strength, and victory.The title “No Flag but Jesus” captures the heart of this message. Nations may raise flags, movements may demand allegiance, and cultures may try to define identity, but for the follower of Christ, there is only one kingdom worth living for and only one King worth serving. No political system, no ideology, and no earthly banner can bring salvation or eternal hope. Our allegiance belongs to Christ alone.Biblical Foundation:Deuteronomy 8:1–8 – God's discipline, provision, and promises during the wilderness journey.Matthew 4:4 – Jesus Christ's declaration that man lives by God's Word.Joshua 1:8 – The call to meditate on the Word of God day and night.Psalm 119:105 – The Word of God as a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.Episode Highlights:The wilderness as God's testing ground for His people.The lesson of manna: God's provision teaches trust and dependence.The unchanging Word of God as the foundation of life.The danger of forgetting God in seasons of blessing and prosperity.Why Christians are called to place their allegiance solely in Jesus Christ.What it means to live daily under the banner of No Flag but Jesus.Life Application: Every generation is faced with the same question: Who will you serve, and where will you place your loyalty? The world waves its flags—nations, ideologies, and identities that compete for our devotion. Yet all these symbols are temporary. They fade, they fall, and they fail. The Kingdom of Christ is eternal.To declare “No Flag but Jesus” is to proclaim that our allegiance is to Him above all else. It means trusting God in the wilderness, remaining faithful in seasons of testing, and remembering Him when life is abundant. It is a call to obedience, humility, and daily surrender. True life is found not in worldly symbols but in the Word of God that nevSupport the showThank you for listening! For more inspiring content, visit our main site at RBChristianRadio.net.

Send us a textDrawing from Daniel chapter 3, this powerful message examines the courageous example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who refused to bow to King Nebuchadnezzar's golden image despite facing the fiery furnace. Their faith and conviction speak directly into the challenges Christians face today, where cultural expectations and political pressures often demand our allegiance in ways that contradict the Word of God.The tension between Romans 13—teaching that “God establishes authorities”—and the believer's responsibility to follow Christ first creates a challenging but important dilemma. As Reverend Ben Cooper boldly puts it, “God puts government in place, but then He gives us free will.” This is not a call to lawlessness, but a reminder that when human authority collides with divine command, our obedience must belong to Jesus above all.This message speaks into our divided world. Across nations and communities we see division by color, by finances, by postcodes, by schools, and even within churches. Yet the call of Christ cuts through the noise: “Am I going to follow Muppets on that side, or am I going to follow the ones that throw axes on that side? Who am I going to follow? I'm going to follow Jesus.”Through biblical exposition and practical application, the sermon challenges us to examine where we may have compromised with modern idols. These idols may not take the shape of golden statues, but they appear in ideologies, institutions, and systems that marginalize God's truth. From education systems that push Christian perspectives aside to churches that drift from biblical foundations, each believer is called to make a choice about where their loyalty truly lies.The message culminates with communion, reminding us that in Christ we discover unity that transcends political divides, denominational labels, or social barriers. At the Lord's table, we are one body, united by the cross. This unity is not found in cultural identity or human authority but in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.Wherever you stand politically or denominationally, this prophetic word will encourage you not to “conform to the pattern of this world” but to stand firm in biblical truth. It will strengthen your resolve to endure fiery trials with faith and to declare, like the three Hebrews, “Even if God does not rescue us, we will not serve your gods.”This timely message is a call to courage, conviction, and uncompromising devotion. Above all else, it is a call to follow Jesus.Support the showThank you for listening! For more inspiring content, visit our main site at RBChristianRadio.net.

Pastor Ricky speaks from Psalm 130

Send us a textWhen was the last time you felt as though all hope had completely drained away—when life felt too heavy to carry, and despair seemed louder than faith? In this powerful recording from London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper unpacks the words of Lamentations 3:21-26, uncovering the unshakable truth that hope is not rooted in institutions, political movements, or even religious performance, but in the mercies of God that are “new every morning.”We live in a world marked by constant division, cultural noise, and endless demands. Many of us are exhausted from juggling work, family, finances, and expectations that never seem to ease. Too often, we reach for temporary pleasures or quick fixes that promise happiness but leave us empty. Reverend Ben reminds us that true renewal cannot be found in the noise of the world or in man-made religion. Instead, we are invited into the refining fire of God, where He strips away our false securities and brings us out as purified gold.This message draws a striking contrast between institutional religion—which may place barriers, demands, and costs upon its followers—and the free, life-changing gift of salvation that comes directly from God. Reverend Ben speaks boldly against the prosperity gospel and other false teachings that promise ease and wealth, pointing instead to the apostles who endured hardship, persecution, and even death for the sake of Christ. Their lives testify that authentic Christianity is not about comfort or convenience, but about transformation and faithfulness in the midst of trial.Through scripture, personal reflection, and spiritual insight, this message asks each of us to pause and consider: Who is shaping your life and your choices—Jesus Christ, or the shifting patterns of the world? It is a challenging yet freeing question, because when we recognise the futility of worldly pursuits, we are ready to encounter the living hope of Christ.At its heart, this devotional is an invitation into God's peace—a peace that endures beyond politics, culture, and circumstances. The world may offer momentary bursts of happiness, but only Christ provides lasting satisfaction. When you encounter the faithfulness of God for yourself, the hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness becomes more than lyrics—it becomes a lived reality that strengthens your heart every morning.Whether you are weary from carrying too many burdens, disillusioned by church experiences that felt empty, or simply searching for real answers, this message offers timeless hope. God's compassion is not limited by yesterday's failures or tomorrow's fears—it is new every morning, and it is available to you today.Lamentations 3:21-26 devotionalGod's mercies new every morningReverend Ben Cooper London EnglandChristian encouragement podcastAuthentic faith versus religionExposing prosperity gospel teachingBible hope and faithfulness messageDaily devotional podcast UKChristian transformation through trialsGreat is Thy Faithfulness explainedSupport the showThank you for listening!

Send us a text"My flesh n my heart may fail, bt God is the strength of my heart n my portion forever." (Psalm 73:26)This truth opens a powerful journey into what it really means 2 follow Christ—not in comfort, bt in courage. Many believe walking with Jesus should make life easier. Yet Scripture tells another story.Look at the Apostle Paul: once Saul of Tarsus, respected n privileged, then transformed by Christ into a servant marked by hardship. He endured prisons, floggings, beatings, stonings, shipwrecks, hunger, thirst, n rejection. His new life wasn't easier—it was more costly, bt infinitely richer in God's presence.Paul's testimony reaches its climax in God's words: “My grace is sufficient for U, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Even with his “thorn in the flesh,” Paul found strength not in deliverance, bt in surrender. His response shapes our faith today: “I will boast gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.”This message speaks 2 every weary soul wrestling with trials, doubts, n fears. God doesn't strip us back 2 break us—He strips us back 2 fill us. Ur valley, storm, or shipwreck isn't the end. It's the very place where God's fire surrounds U, His Spirit sustains U, n His strength carries U.As we break bread together, let's embrace this divine paradox: weakness isn't failure—it's the doorway 2 real strength. For when we are weak, then in Christ, we are truly strong.Support the showThank you for listening! For more inspiring content, visit our main site at RBChristianRadio.net.

Send us a textHave you ever grown weary of religious systems that seem to bury Christ beneath rules, rituals, and empty traditions? In this uncompromising message recorded in London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper takes us deep into Colossians 1:15–20 to reveal the breathtaking truth of who Jesus really is—not a religious figurehead, but the supreme Creator and sustainer of all things, visible and invisible.With passion and clarity, Cooper unveils Christ as “the image of the invisible God”—eternal, pre-existent, and the One through whom all things were made. This is not dry theology for scholars; it's a radical reorientation of faith that dismantles shallow religion and calls believers back to the living Christ.“Church is irrelevant now. Religion is done and finished. But the Kingdom of God is that spiritual realm,” Cooper declares with urgency.To drive this point home, he delivers a striking metaphor: authentic faith in Christ is like metal cutlery—solid, enduring, and able to withstand fire. By contrast, modern religious systems are like plastic utensils—cheap, fragile, and quick to melt under heat. The challenge is clear: are we living with metal-strong faith in the eternal Christ, or settling for plastic religion that collapses under pressure?At the heart of this message is one defining truth that separates Christianity from every other belief system: every religious leader has died and remained dead, but Jesus Christ rose from the grave and lives forevermore. This reality, Cooper insists, “flattens all world religions” and demands our worship, surrender, and devotion.But Cooper doesn't stop at theology—he calls us to respond in real life. What does it look like to move from plastic religion to metal-strong faith? It means living with integrity when culture pushes compromise. It means clinging to Christ in prayer and Scripture when circumstances grow dark. It means recognising that the strength of faith is tested not in comfort but in the fire—and those rooted in Jesus will endure.Cooper's message is also a pastoral encouragement for those feeling spiritually exhausted. If church structures have let you down, if religious performance has left you empty, or if you've been chasing experiences that fade, this episode invites you back to the simplicity and power of Christ Himself. The supremacy of Jesus is not just a doctrine—it's the anchor of hope, the reason to endure, and the assurance that He holds all things together, including your life.For the weary soul, the seeker, or the believer hungry for more than surface-level faith, this episode is a rallying cry. It calls us beyond empty performance, beyond institutional distractions, and into the metal-strong reality of knowing and following the risen Christ.

Send us a textWhat sets Christianity apart from every other belief system on earth? It's not merely philosophical differences or varying moral codes—it's the empty tomb.Reverend Ben Cooper delivers a powerful, unflinching message that cuts through religious confusion with crystal clarity. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 15, he identifies three critical crises facing modern society: the marginalization of God, the scarcity of authentic biblical teaching, and the collapse of moral law despite extensive legal systems.The sermon takes a fascinating turn when exploring the profound symbolism of Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea carrying Jesus' body from the cross. One representing the Old Testament, the other the New, both become covered in Christ's blood—a powerful physical demonstration of how salvation works. This moment when they carry the Word together, drenched in sacrificial blood, serves as a prophetic picture of how redemption reaches both the old and new covenants.Throughout this message, Cooper repeatedly returns to a crucial distinction: while other religious figures remain entombed and decaying, Christ conquered death. "Every other religion has a marker where their god is," he observes, "They are wrapped up because they're dead." This fundamental difference isn't merely theological trivia—it's the beating heart of authentic faith.The message culminates in communion and a stirring call to perseverance from 2 Chronicles 15:7: "Be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded." In times when society seems to crumble under moral confusion, this ancient text provides timely encouragement for believers to stand firm.Ready to explore more challenging, Scripture-rooted teaching?

Jeder Mann braucht einen Vater · Matthias C. Wolff · Elim Kirche Hamburg · 2025-08-31 by Elim Kirche Hamburg

Send us a textIn an age dominated by crowd mentality, Reverend Ben Cooper delivers one of his most urgent and uncompromising messages yet—a call to break free from religious performance and cultural pressure in order to experience authentic, life-changing faith in Jesus Christ.Recorded in London, England, this message draws from the dramatic scene in Mark 5, where Jairus pleads for his daughter's life and a desperate woman reaches through the crowd to touch Jesus' garment. Cooper shows how easily believers can be swept along by movements, trends, and church spectacle while missing the only thing that truly matters: a direct encounter with Christ.“The crowd was around Jesus. But just because there is a crowd, just because there is a vast number of people, doesn't mean they're touching Jesus in the right way,” Cooper warns with piercing clarity.This message exposes the showmanship and hype that so often replace truth in modern worship:Pastors turning sermons into performancesCongregations chasing religious fads instead of the GospelPeople confusing emotional highs with true holinessCooper draws a clear, uncompromising line:Spirit without truth becomes empty mantra and idol worship.Spirit and truth together bring the unmistakable presence of Jesus into the room.The heart of this sermon is a passionate cry for immediacy:“I can't wait for the end of a 12-week course… I need Jesus now.”This urgency cuts against the slow, institutionalised patterns of religion. Faith, Cooper insists, isn't something to be scheduled, programmed, or delayed—it's about the living presence of Christ meeting us in the very moment we call on Him.The message culminates in a powerful communion reflection:“Wherever you are, Jesus Christ is. He is omnipresent. He is omnipotent.”Here, Cooper dismantles every false barrier—location, tradition, or religious qualification—and affirms the liberating truth: Christ is accessible to every believer, right now, in any place.

This week at Elim Northampton, we're honoured to welcome Pastor Mark Ryan as our special guest speaker.Continuing our Summer Fruit series, Ps Mark unpacks the powerful and often underestimated fruit of the Spirit — Kindness. With wisdom, warmth, and biblical insight, he challenges us to live out a radical, Spirit-led kindness in a world that desperately needs it.Whether you're part of our Elim family or just tuning in, this message will inspire and equip you to grow in your faith and reflect Christ in your everyday life.

This podcast is one with a twist. Instead of the good stories of God speaking, we're sharing the bad! We all love a good God conversation story. God is still speaking as powerfully and creatively as he did in Bible days. But the nature of our flawed humanity is that we can get it wrong. We can make mistakes. We can use the claim to hearing God's voice to manipulate others. The result is real damage to people's lives. It's important that we don't overlook the bad stories or pretend they don't exist. Instead they become a learning opportunity when we see where things went wrong. That's why on the show in this episode, we talk with long time pastor Paul Hudson from the Elim group of churches in the UK. As a pastor of pastors, he's seen the worst (and the best!) of the prophetic world and has plenty of wisdom to share about how to avoid the pitfalls.  You'll hear about: Paul's story growing up in a Christian environment and how two simple words from the Holy Spirit completely changed his heart towards international mission. From there, God used him to establish a global network beyond his own nation. A tragic story of a young man and woman who believed God spoke to them about marriage. They married quickly without consultation from others and their marriage broke up within 6 months due to abuse. Here we learn how consultation in community - especially those who are willing to disagree - is crucial. Paul's own story of God speaking to warn him and how he twisted it around because he didn't like what he heard. Thankfully God gave him a further message that enabled him to redeem the situation. Reflections on the Apostle's Paul experience when the disciples mis-interpreted the prophetic word they heard about Paul's journey to Jerusalem (Acts 21). Throughout the stories, you'll hear some recurring themes! We share the bad stories so we don't have to repeat them. Let's be smart enough as well as humble enough to learn from the experiences of others!

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES, 11 DE AGOSTOCODORNICES Y MANÁDe Mara el pueblo se encaminó hacia Elim, "donde había doce fuentes de aguas, y setenta palmas". Vers. 27. Allí permanecieron varios días antes de internarse en el desierto de Sin. Cuando hacía un mes que estaban ausentes de Egipto, establecieron su primer campamento en el desierto. Sus provisiones alimenticias se estaban agotando. Había escasez de hierba en el desierto, y sus rebaños comenzaban a disminuir. ¿Cómo podía suministrarse alimento a esta enorme multitud? Las dudas se apoderaron de sus corazones, y otra vez murmuraron. Hasta los jefes y ancianos del pueblo se unieron para quejarse contra los caudillos señalados por Dios: "Ojalá hubiéramos muerto por mano de Jehová en la tierra de Egipto, cuando nos sentábamos a las ollas de las carnes, cuando comíamos pan en hartura; pues nos habéis sacado a este desierto, para matar de hambre a toda esta multitud". Parecía que los hijos de Israel tenían el corazón inclinado a la incredulidad. No estaban dispuestos a soportar dificultades en el desierto. Cuando se encontraban con problemas en el camino, los consideraban imposibilidades. Su confianza en Dios flaqueaba, y solo podían ver la muerte ante sí. No habían sufrido, en verdad, los tormentos del hambre. Por el momento tenían alimentos, pero temían por el futuro. No veían cómo podía subsistir la hueste de Israel, durante su larga travesía por el desierto, con los sencillos alimentos de que disponía, y en su incredulidad suponían que sus hijos perecerían de hambre. El Señor quería que sus alimentos escasearan y que enfrentaran dificultades, para que sus corazones se volvieran al que los había ayudado hasta ese momento, y para que creyeran en él. Estaba dispuesto a ser para ellos una ayuda constante. Si lo invocaban en su necesidad, él les daría señales de su amor y de su continuo cuidado. Pero parecía que no estaban dispuestos a confiar en el Señor ni un poco más si no podían ver con sus ojos las constantes evidencias de su poder. Si verdaderamente hubieran tenido fe y una firme confianza en Dios, habrían soportado alegremente los inconvenientes y obstáculos, y aun el verdadero sufrimiento, puesto que el Señor había obrado de una manera tan maravillosa para librarlos de la esclavitud (The Signs of the Times, 8 de abril, 1880, párr. 5, 6; parcialmente en Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, p. 297; y en La historia de la redención, p. 131). El maná que caía del cielo para el sustento de Israel era un símbolo de Aquel que vino de Dios a dar vida al mundo. Dijo Jesús: "Yo soy el pan de vida. Vuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, y son muertos. Este es el pan que desciende del cielo.... Si alguno comiere de este pan, vivirá para siempre; y el pan que yo daré es mi carne, la cual yo daré por la vida del mundo". Juan 6:48-51. Y entre las bendiciones prometidas al pueblo de Dios para la vida futura, se escribió: "Al que venciere, daré a comer del maná escondido". Apocalipsis 2:17 (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, p. 303). 

When the Israelites reached Marah their thirst revealed a deeper spiritual failing — they grumbled instead of trusting God — but Moses' faithful prayer and obedience showed that God meets our needs and calls us to trust and obey. God does not leave us in bitterness; he leads us to Elim's abundant springs as a picture of Christ's living water that satisfies the soul and wells up to eternal life. The post Living Water appeared first on Mt. Rose OPC.

“Trust and Rest” Exodus 16:1-16 August 3, 2025 Pastor Tony Felich   ----more---- Exodus 16:1 They set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the people of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt. [2] And the whole congregation of the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness, [3] and the people of Israel said to them, “Would that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots and ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” [4] Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not. [5] On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily.” [6] So Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel, “At evening you shall know that it was the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, [7] and in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your grumbling against the Lord. For what are we, that you grumble against us?” [8] And Moses said, “When the Lord gives you in the evening meat to eat and in the morning bread to the full, because the Lord has heard your grumbling that you grumble against him—what are we? Your grumbling is not against us but against the Lord.” [9] Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, ‘Come near before the Lord, for he has heard your grumbling.'” [10] And as soon as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. [11] And the Lord said to Moses, [12] “I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.'” [13] In the evening quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning dew lay around the camp. [14] And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground. [15] When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat. [16] This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat. You shall each take an omer, according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent.'”   God uses tangible provisions and testing circumstances to transform His people from a slave mentality into a community that trusts His daily faithfulness and rests in His sovereign care, teaching them that rebellion against His appointed leadership ultimately rebels against His gracious love.      I. Our Immediate Circumstances Make Us Forget God's Long-Term Faithfulness          II. God's Grace Appears Most Clearly in Response to Rebellion         III. God's Tests Cultivate Both Trust and Obedience         IV. God Provides Tangible Blessings to Assure His Faithful Presence          V. Rebellion Against God's Appointed Leaders Is Rebellion Against God
