In this 43rd sermon on the book of Romans pastor Merson explores the certainty of God's faithfulness to His promises, using Romans 11 to affirm that He has not permanently rejected national Israel. The preacher outlines four proofs—personal, historical, doctrinal, and judicial—to demonstrate that God preserves a remnant chosen by grace rather than works. Emphasizing that human hope must rest on divine election rather than subjective feelings or past experiences, the message warns against false hopes built on self-reliance. It concludes by highlighting the spiritual blindness currently affecting Israel while assuring believers of their secure standing in Christ through the lifting of the veil by the Holy Spirit.

This sermon explores temperance, the final fruit of the Spirit, defining it not as human willpower but as a spirit-empowered ability to submit desires and actions to God's authority. Using Daniel and Jesus as biblical examples, the message illustrates that true self-control begins with pre-decisions made in advance and is sustained by relying on Scripture rather than fleshly strength. The preacher outlines three practical steps for cultivating this virtue: surrendering personal desires, strengthening spiritual disciplines through daily engagement with God's Word, and submitting daily decisions to divine authority. Emphasizing that willpower is a limited resource while the Holy Spirit provides inexhaustible power, the sermon challenges listeners to move beyond temporary resolutions toward lasting spiritual growth. Ultimately, it calls for a response of faith, urging individuals to surrender fully to Christ to overcome temptation and bear eternal fruit.

The sermon explores the absolute sovereignty of God through the biblical account of King Nebuchadnezzar's humbling and restoration in Daniel chapter 4. By contrasting human pride with divine authority, the preacher illustrates that God is both unstoppable and unquestionable, governing all creation with perfect wisdom. The narrative demonstrates that true reason and peace are found only when individuals acknowledge God's ultimate control over their lives. Emphasizing the certainty of judgment and the availability of grace, the message calls listeners to cease questioning God's ways and instead trust in Christ for salvation. Ultimately, the text urges believers to rest in the comfort of God's unchangeable nature and His promise to receive all who come to Him.

One of the biggest shifts we can make as property managers is moving beyond simply managing properties to genuinely managing investments. I'm joined by Tim Meyers, co-founder and Managing Partner of Winvest Management in Miami, who brings a unique corporate finance perspective to property management. Our conversation explores why financial transparency, proactive communication and genuine relationship-building aren't "extra" services–they're the foundation of creating trust with both owners and tenants.We unpack what it really means to elevate the customer experience, from providing meaningful monthly financial commentary instead of generic statements to questioning maintenance costs, negotiating better outcomes and helping owners understand the performance of their investment. Tim shares how small, consistent touchpoints, clear communication and attention to detail can transform client relationships, strengthen referrals and position your agency as a trusted advisor rather than simply a service provider.If you've ever wondered how to stand out in an increasingly competitive market, this conversation is a timely reminder that exceptional property management isn't about flashy ideas—it's about doing the fundamentals exceptionally well. We also discuss guarantees, leadership, the power of listening before offering solutions, and why understanding an owner's long-term goals allows you to make smarter decisions that deliver value well beyond rent collection.“Property management is a little bit like a game. There's a rulebook. There's things you're not allowed to do. Right. And I'm not a rule breaker. I'm not insinuating that I violate the rules. But in order to run things efficiently and in the best manner, you have to know the rulebook really well. You get to know when you're close to it. You got to know when you're potentially going to overstep the lines.” - Tim MeyersWe cover:Importance of attention to detail in property management.Utilizing technology to manage costs effectively.Addressing gaps in customer service and financial transparency in the industry.Leveraging corporate finance experience for better property financial management.Building trust with property owners and tenants.Proactive communication strategies in property management.Financial oversight and alignment with property owners' goals.Simplifying financial management processes for property managers.Emphasizing rental guarantees and service level commitments.The significance of referrals and relationship-building for business growth.A big shout-out to our amazing podcast partner Ailo.Ailo is an Australian property management software and app designed to streamline communication and payments between property managers, owners, and tenants.

Xi Jin ping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has called for efforts to strengthen political guidance and deepen innovation-driven development to advance the high-quality modernization of national defense and the armed forces.Xi, who is also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks on Thursday when presiding over a group study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.He urged efforts to fulfill the goals for the centenary of the People's Liberation Army in 2027 and make "decisive progress" in basically realizing the modernization of national defense and the armed forces. This, he said, will provide strong strategic support for advancing the cause of building a great country and achieving national rejuvenation on all fronts through Chinese modernization.The study session was held ahead of the founding anniversary of the PLA, which falls on Saturday. On behalf of the CPC Central Committee and the CMC, Xi extended festival greetings to all members of the PLA and the People's Armed Police Force, civilian personnel of the PLA, and members of the reserve forces and the militia.Xi said that since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, China has made comprehensive efforts to enhance political loyalty in the military, strengthen the military through reform, personnel training and science and technology, and run the military in accordance with the law.By simultaneously carrying out operations, strengthening combat preparedness and enhancing military capabilities, the Chinese military has significantly improved its modernization level and become a capable fighting force, making historic achievements and transformations, he said.Emphasizing the importance of ensuring political loyalty in the military, Xi urged upholding and strengthening the absolute leadership of the Party over the armed forces. Efforts should be made to ensure that military officers and soldiers follow the Party and that they always obey the Party's commands, he said.Xi called for unremitting efforts to fight against corruption, improve the supervision system for major projects and ensure that all initiatives are underpinned by quality, capability and integrity.He noted the importance of combat effectiveness in the high-quality modernization of national defense and the armed forces, saying that it is essential to enhance the military application of unmanned intelligent technologies and intensify construction and application of a network information system to gradually build an intelligent military system.Solid steps should be taken to advance military training and enhance combat preparedness to effectively safeguard China's national sovereignty, security and development interests, he said.Xi emphasized that consolidating and enhancing integrated national strategies and strategic capabilities is the path the nation must take to achieve high-quality modernization of national defense and the armed forces.He called for strengthening military governance, optimizing institutional frameworks and improving policies and regulations to strengthen close collaboration between the military and civilian sectors.In another development, Xi has signed an order to commend Yang Yong from Troop 91548 of the PLA, honoring him with a first-class merit citation in defense-related science and technology.China has also commended and honored 12 military officers and soldiers as "the most beautiful revolutionary personnel of the new era", according to a joint announcement on Friday by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Political Work Department of the CMC.

This sermon examines John 15:16-21 to look at the characteristics of true followers of Christ amidst a hostile world. The preacher outlines four key aspects: an unshakeable foundation in God's sovereign election, membership in a spiritual family bound by love, the inevitable conflict with worldly systems, and a shared fellowship in suffering with Jesus. Emphasizing that believers are chosen not for their own merit but by God's grace, the message encourages Christians to expect persecution rather than worldly acceptance. The central theme asserts that genuine faith produces fruit and endures through trials because its security rests entirely on Christ's choice and preservation.

This is a Healing Strong podcast episode featuring Kathy Gilkey, a Florida-based follicular lymphoma survivor.Kathy was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma in 2017 after finding a lump under her arm. She declined chemo and radiation, instead following a protocol from a fire captain whose wife had stage four kidney cancer: 100 days of juicing (about 90% greens with apple), no solid food. Her tumor shrank from a 4 to a 1, and her oncologist told her to keep doing what she was doing.After moving from California to Arkansas, the stress and emotional upheaval of leaving her home church and community led to depression, and the cancer returned as a spinal tumor. She did 10 rounds of radiation but had a severe reaction when starting chemo (throat closing, numbness) and stopped, returning to diet-based healing plus emotional/inner healing counseling. She's now been in remission for three months, with oncologist visits every six months.Other points covered: she still juices (using an inexpensive Black & Decker juicer, running pulp through twice for more yield), largely avoids sugar and carbs while having added back some meat and fruit, and her husband hasn't adopted her diet but is supportive and healthy in his own way (they cook separate meals). Her background as a florist exposed her to chemical sprays, and she later became a church counselor. She's now launching a new Healing Strong support group in Englewood, Florida, hosted at a faith-based community facility called EPIC. She closes by encouraging newly diagnosed listeners with Jeremiah 29:11 and a message of trusting God and avoiding negativity.HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE. We bring this hope through educational materials, webinars, guest speakers, conferences, community small group support and more.Please take advantage of our FREE resources below to help you along your health and healing journey:Support Group DirectoryHolistic Curriculum - Participant GuideSupport Our Mission - DonateAdditional Health ResourcesListen to Previous EpisodesWebsite: healingstrong.org

The sermon provides practical methods for deepening one's prayer life by utilizing the Book of Psalms as a guide. It distinguishes between praying like the Psalms, which involves adopting specific types such as praise, lament, and thanksgiving, and praying through the Psalms, a structured approach to personalizing individual psalm verses. Emphasizing meditation on Scripture and honest communion with God, the message encourages believers to move beyond repetitive or spontaneous prayer alone toward intentional, strategic disciplines. The speaker demonstrates these techniques using Psalm 23 to show how readers can organize, personalize, and pray through biblical text effectively. Ultimately, the goal is to equip individuals and families with tangible tools to grow in their daily walk with God.

It distinguishes between praying like the Psalms, which involves adopting specific types such as praise, lament, and thanksgiving, and praying through the Psalms, a structured approach to personalizing individual psalm verses. Emphasizing meditation on Scripture and honest communion with God, the message encourages believers to move beyond repetitive or spontaneous prayer alone toward intentional, strategic disciplines. The speaker demonstrates these techniques using Psalm 23 to show how readers can organize, personalize, and pray through biblical text effectively. Ultimately, the goal is to equip individuals and families with tangible tools to grow in their daily walk with God.

The Power of Yieldedness: Living in Step with the Holy Spirit In this message, Pastor Stephen Wakefield challenges believers to look beyond Sunday morning services and live a life continuously responsive to the Holy Spirit. Emphasizing that everyday ministry isn't reserved solely for church leaders, he outlines how ordinary, daily obedience creates space for extraordinary divine encounters. True, fulfilling Christian living flows directly from a heart that is aligned with, sensitive to, and yielded to God's presence in every moment. Key Scripture Points & Takeaways The Foundation of Love and Obedience Scripture: John 14:15, Matthew 22:37–39 True obedience isn't about rigid legalism; it is a natural love response to God. Our primary purpose is to know Him, be loved by Him, and love Him in return—out of which all ministry flows. Jesus as the Ultimate Model of Yieldedness Scripture: Philippians 2:5–11, John 5:19 Even Jesus operated in complete submission to the Father, doing only what He saw the Father doing. His ultimate obedience—even unto death on a cross—led to His elevation, setting the standard for how believers should follow His lead. 4 Practical Ways to Yield to the Holy Spirit Be Filled with the Spirit Scripture: Acts 1:4–8 Beyond an initial baptism, staying continuously filled with the Holy Spirit is vital. We cannot guide others into the Kingdom without intimately knowing the King ourselves. Be Filled with the Word Scripture: Psalm 119:105 God's Word trains our spiritual senses. Grounding ourselves in Scripture provides the divine filter necessary to discern God's voice and test spontaneous impressions against His character. Stay Ready at All Times Scripture: 1 Peter 3:15 Real-life ministry and miracles rarely happen on a planned schedule. Believers must cultivate a posture of constant readiness—whether in a church setting, at work, or during late-night errands. Make Obedience in the Mundane a Habit Scripture: Luke 16:10, Matthew 25:21 Faithfulness in the small, everyday moments (serving family, showing patience, acting on quick godly thoughts) trains us for larger assignments. Yieldedness in spontaneous, miraculous moments is deeply rooted in our daily obedience in the quiet ones. "Thanks for listening! For more information, visit churchoftheharvest.com.

In this episode of the Church on the Move Roswell podcast, Pastor Tim Aguilar introduces a message from Ephesians and invites listeners to engage with prayers and key points from Scripture. He provides historical context from Acts 19 about Paul's time in Ephesus, describing how the city was disrupted by the gospel, including a riot and a dramatic account of the seven sons of Sceva attempting to cast out demons using Jesus' name without a genuine relationship with Him, resulting in their defeat. Emphasizing that spiritual authority comes from relationship with Jesus.

The sermon addresses the rising rates of depression and loneliness in modern society by offering biblical comfort through Jesus' words in John 14. It identifies three key promises from Christ: calming troubled hearts through faith, preparing eternal dwelling places in heaven, and providing the exclusive way to the Father through Himself. The preacher contrasts contemporary spiritual emptiness with the sufficiency of trusting in Jesus as the ultimate truth and Savior. Emphasizing that true peace comes only from a relationship with God, the message challenges listeners to examine their faith and find hope in Christ's return. Ultimately, it calls believers to rest in these healing words while inviting others to trust in Jesus for salvation.

Closing out the summer series on the Beatitudes, Pastor Scott Engebretson addresses Matthew 5:10–12: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Scott unpacks the reality of Christian persecution across the globe while providing necessary perspective on what persecution is—and isn't—for the Western church. Emphasizing that Jesus's vision of flourishing is not an easy, fairytale life, Scott shows how living under the rule of King Jesus and pursuing real righteousness naturally clashes with the values of the world. He challenges us to move beyond silent self-protection and courageously live out our faith, asking whether we are truly willing to risk social discomfort, lost friendships, or cultural pushback for the sake of Jesus.

1. The Foolish Bargain 2. Esau's Profane Hatred 3. Jacob's Mixed Motivation The sermon analyzes the biblical account of Esau and Jacob to illustrate the critical choice between valuing earthly pleasures and spiritual inheritance. It contrasts Esau's profane disregard for his birthright with the sovereign grace that selects Jacob as the heir of God's promises. The preacher warns believers against the sin of worldliness and favoritism, which can lead to a rejection of Christ. Emphasizing that salvation depends entirely on God's grace rather than human effort, the message calls the congregation to cling to Jesus as their true birthright. Ultimately, it urges listeners to reject worldly distractions and pursue eternal spiritual blessings through faith in Christ.

The sermon urges believers to actively engage in God's work immediately, drawing from the parable of the vineyard in Matthew 21. It highlights three primary motivations for this urgency: obedience to Christ's command, the severe consequences of neglecting opportunities for evangelism, and the imminent return of Jesus. The speaker warns that failing to serve can result in being set aside by God and losing future rewards at the judgment seat of Christ, rather than losing salvation. Emphasizing the unpredictability of the Rapture and current global signs, the message calls every Christian to respond faithfully to their specific calling without delay.

Pastor Candy Christmas of Regeneration Nashville delivers an inspiring sermon titled 'Join the Chorus.' Emphasizing the power of collective prayer, she draws parallels between choral music and united prayer, encouraging believers to join in harmonious prayer for global issues. Pastor Candy shares personal stories and biblical teachings on the impact of joining the 'symphony' of prayer, urging viewers to be part of the spiritual community making a difference worldwide.

In his sermon on Revelation 14, Michael uses the lighthearted metaphor of "dog problems" to introduce profound human questions regarding suffering, ongoing evil, and the realities of divine justice. The message explains that Revelation's apocalyptic imagery depicts a spiritual proxy war between the followers of Jesus, referred to as "Team Lamb," and unseen demonic forces, termed "Team Dragon". Emphasizing that human empires inevitably become corrupt systems of rebellion known symbolically as "Babylon," the talk contrasts the world's wide path of self-centeredness with the narrow, sacrificial path of the Gospel. Through vivid biblical symbols like the 144,000 and the final harvest of the earth, it portrays God not as a passive observer, but as a righteous judge actively moving to defeat evil and restore order. Ultimately, the teaching challenges listeners to objectively evaluate their daily habits, resources, and deepest allegiances to ensure they are intentionally living out the true "Eternal Gospel" storyline rather than drifting into the world's counterfeit, culturally driven narratives.

The Erics sit down with bone health expert Dr. Lora Giangregorio, a professor of kinesiology at the University of Waterloo, to unpack what's actually known about how bone adapts to resistance training. The conversation covers why bone changes so slowly, the many sources of measurement error in DEXA scans, and why so much of the exercise-and-bone literature is underpowered and hard to interpret. Dr. G makes a central practical case: for building bone, the message shouldn't be "lift heavy" but rather "work hard." Emphasizing high effort over intimidating absolute loads lowers the barrier to entry, especially for older and osteoporotic populations, while still driving progressive overload. She argues the best current bet is combining moderate-to-high-intensity resistance training with impact work, introduced gradually on a foundation of strength. Along the way she debunks popular but weakly supported interventions, including weighted vests and whole-body vibration platforms, and discusses the difference between biological aging and simple chronic inactivity in bone loss.

Fr. Chris Alar,  reflects on the Parable of the Sower by emphasizing that the focus is not only on the seed, the Word of God; but even more on the condition of the soil, which represents our hearts. Good soil is cultivated not only through reading Scripture and prayer, but also through regular Confession, frequent Holy Communion, acts of charity, and a faithful sacramental life. When our hearts are properly formed, the Word of God produces visible fruits of love, holiness, and transformation.At the same time, Jesus' parable is one of encouragement. We should not become discouraged when we do not immediately see results from sharing the faith. Seeds often remain hidden for a long time before they sprout. Our task is to continue planting the seeds of God's Word with patience, trusting that He will bring about the harvest in His time.  ★ Support this podcast ★

Six Steps to Changing Bad Mindsets and Behaviors • The Todd Coconato Show Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this show and ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give In this episode of The Todd Coconato Show, titled "Six Steps to Changing Bad Mindsets and Behaviors," Pastor Todd explores how believers can achieve lasting transformation by moving beyond surface-level attempts at self-improvement and addressing the root causes of their behavior. Emphasizing that life does not consistently rise above one's thinking, Coconato outlines six biblical principles designed to help listeners renew their minds and walk in freedom: Recognize and admit there is a problem: Transformation begins by looking inward, stopping the habit of blame-shifting, and asking God to reveal areas that need change. Become vulnerable and take ownership: Growth requires honesty; replacing excuses with personal responsibility is essential for maturity and healing. Seek proven facts and solutions: Rather than relying on emotions, believers should build their lives on the truth of Jesus Christ and His Word, utilizing biblical wisdom for specific struggles. Replace old thinking with new thinking: Since behaviors start as thoughts, listeners are encouraged to take every thought captive, rejecting lies and replacing them with God's truth. Practice new behaviors consistently: Lasting change is rarely dramatic; it is achieved through small, consistent decisions and the development of godly habits. Create accountability: Because growth is not meant to happen in isolation, surrounding oneself with mentors and peers who can offer loving correction is vital for ongoing progress. The episode concludes with a reminder that the Christian life is a continuous journey of becoming more like Jesus, with God faithful to complete the good work He has begun in every believer.

Nick Lloyd. Guest Nick Lloyd discusses his ambition to provide a comprehensive narrative of the Western Front, emphasizing it as a massive coalition war involving multiple empires. He explains his focus on the operational level of senior commanders, aiming to challenge the persistent "lions led by donkeys" myth. By examining the immense pressures and dilemmas faced by leadership, Lloyd hopes to offer a more nuanced and "cooler" perspective on the war's conduct a century later. He reveals that this book is the first in a trilogy, with subsequent volumes planned for the Eastern Frontand the global conflict in the Middle East and Africa. The discussion highlights how events on other fronts, such as Russia or the high seas, constantly influenced decision-making in the decisive Western theater. Ultimately, Lloyd views the Western Front as the place where the war was won or lost by the collision of four great powers: Germany, France, Britain, and America. 11914 CONRAD

Michael McFaul discusses the Mar-a-Lago meeting between Trump and Xi, supporting the concept of "peace through strength" but emphasizing that engaging autocrats should not mean abandoning democratic values. He argues that the United States must work harder to keep allies united and should explicitly advocate for human rights during high-level meetings. Raising individual cases of repression, such as that of Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong, serves to inspire "small D democrats" living under tyranny. McFaul advocates for a self-help alliance system among democracies to counter cooperation between Russia, China, and Iran. (6)
