WhenPaul wrote the letter of 1 Corinthians, he told them, "Because you arecarnal, acting like babies, there is strife and division among you.” Someof you are saying you're of Paul. Others are saying, 'I'm of Peter.' Others claimed to be in the Apollos crowd, while somewere saying, 'We're more spiritual than the rest because we're ofChrist.'" Because of this problem Paul wrote the First Corinthian letterto correct them because of this disunity, the disharmony, the strife anddivision that exist in the church there in Corinth. Sounds like too manychurches today! Nowin this letter to the church at Ephesus, after Paul gives them their positionin Christ, the first thing he addresses is the need to have unity of spirit,unity of heart, unity of mind, have one goal. My friend, over the years I've experiencedthat the church that's focused on Jesus, the church that's focused on who He is, on what He has done for us, focused onbeing obedient in fulfilling the Great Commission, is a church full of peoplethat will get along with each other, love each other, care for each other, worktogether for the glory of God, as they set their own agenda, ambitions, and preferencesaside. Howimportant this is and that is what Paul is addressing in the first three verseshere. That's the unity that comes from the grace of God that we are enjoying,as we follow Him, live in Him, and walk in Him. We are to walk worthy of our callingin Christ. We do that with all “lowliness”, which of course is humility(v. 2). Jesus began His first public message with these words, “Blessed arethe poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of God”. The first beatitudeis being humble, being a beggar, realizing how helpless you are without theLord. The moment you think you have humility is the moment you lost it, myfriend. Because it's an attitude, where every moment of every day, you die toyourself, and you're alive in Christ unto God for the glory of God, loving oneanother. So lowliness, humility, is the first grace of unity we see. Thesecond grace of unity is “gentleness”, which also is translated “meekness”.Moses was the meekest man in all the earth. Meekness does not mean weakness. Itmeans power under control. It means you have yielded your ambitions, yieldedyour preferences. You've yielded your ownership of everything in your life tothe Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shallinherit the earth”. Meekness means that you give up your right to yourselfas you die to self and you live unto the Lord and let Him live His life throughyou. A “gentle” attitude goes a long way in building unity in the church! Thenthere is “longsuffering” (v. 2). “Longsuffering”, which means “long-tempered”,is the ability to endure discomfort without fighting back. Then it goes on tosay “bearing with one another in love”. Remember, “love suffers long” (1Corinthians 13:4). Have you noticed that these graces of unity are basically thesame as the “fruit of the Spirit” that we find in Galatians 5:22; “Thefruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law”. Howwonderful. When you're filled with the Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit is beingdisplayed in your life and there is the unity. Thenthere must be “endeavoring”. “Endeavoring to keep the unity of theSpirit…” (v. 3). Literally it reads "being eager to maintain, orguard, the unity of the Spirit." Finally, there is the grace of unitythat is “the bond of peace”. Peace within your own heart. Peace betweenmembers. We must first experience “peace with God”, then the “peace of God”that rules in our hearts that brings us to peace with one another. Whenwe all do that, there is this grace of unity that rules in the body of Christ andthat displays the love of God to a lost world around us. May God help us to experiencethis unity today.

An episode from Liberty Behind Bars Ministry, a ministry serving the incarcerated across America located in Belfast, New York.The Scriptures : We believe that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” 2nd Timothy 3:16 by which we understand that the whole Bible “came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2nd Peter 1:21. The Scriptures, originally recorded by Spirit led men, have been faithfully translated and preserved in our English Language. We believe the Authorized Version (A.V. 1611) is infallible and selfless: our final authority for all matters of faith and practice. Christ's Advent: We believe that the eternal Son of God came into this world that He might manifest God to men, fulfill prophecy, and become the Redeemer of a lost world. He was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Ghost, received a human body, and a sinless nature.Salvation: We believe that, owing to death through sin, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless born again. This redemption has been accomplished solely by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, who was made to be sin, dying in our stead, and that He was bodily and physically raised from the dead for our justification. We believe that the new birth of the believer is an act of the Holy Ghost and comes only through individual faith in Christ.The Church: We believe that God has ordained that through the local church the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be spread and that it is the duty of everyone who is born again to seek out a local fellowship for the furtherance of the Gospel and his own edification. I spent half of my life in and out of jails, prisons, rehabs, and other facilities. Unfortunately, the programs that were offered did not help me to become a productive member of society, it just made me a better inmate. Whatchanged me, was a new life in Jesus Christ and reading/studying a King James Bible.Many prisons, jails, and other institutions have heard from many of their inmates that they are changed due to religion. However, most are seen back within the next year or two. As God gave Moses a burden for the Children of Israel, so God gave me a burden for those in jails and prisons. Churches send missionaries to foreign countries, in support, hopes and prayers, they can win the nationals to Jesus, train them and then send the nationals back to their own people. This is what Jesus has done for me. He saved me out of this life of crimes and addiction, and now sends me back to my people who are in jails/prisons, to win them to Christ and send them back to their own peopleThis is where Liberty Behind Bars Ministry steps in. Not only do we minister to those behind the jail walls we help them transition into society; differently than they did in the past. The goal is to break the cycle of recidicism and help people have a changed life in Jesus Christ. I have my Doctorate in Christian Biblical Counseling and use this knowledge to not only help those within the jail/prison walls, but also to support their family members.

Pastor Rob McCoy delivered a heartfelt sermon from Romans 16, emphasizing the critical need for unity and vigilance in the church. Drawing from his recent experience at a pastors' summit, Rob shared a candid anecdote about a disruptive individual who monopolized time with confusing ideas, illustrating the dangers of division within the body of Christ. He unpacked Romans 16:17–20, urging the congregation to “mark” those who cause division and offenses, not to shun them hastily but to address issues with humility and biblical wisdom, as outlined in Matthew 18. Rob's message, rooted in Godspeak's anchored reading program, highlighted the church's unique strength in fostering unity amidst cultural challenges, including rising tensions over issues like Islam. He closed with a prayer for humility and peace, reinforcing the church's mission to serve with love and resolve conflicts biblically, ensuring a fellowship that stands firm against the enemy's schemes.Reference VersesEcclesiastes 11 verse 5, Romans 16 verses 1–27, Ezekiel 37, Matthew 18 verses 15–17, Ephesians 4 verses 3–6, Acts 20 verses 28–31, Titus 3 verses 8–11, Philippians 2 verses 3–8Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

“Endeavoring to Keep Peace”
Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Shark Theory, where host Baylor Barbee dives deep into the psychology of success and progress. Having just marked a monumental 1000th episode, Barbee demonstrates his unwavering commitment to exploring the inner workings of the mind and how it can help us achieve our goals. In this episode, Barbee focuses on cultivating a competitive mindset and the importance of framing mistakes as opportunities for growth. He discusses how classic moments in movies often stem from outtakes that were initially seen as errors, suggesting that we should apply a similar perspective to mishaps in our own lives. By taking ownership of the present and relentlessly pursuing our potential, Barbee emphasizes that we can close the gap between where we are and how far we can go. Key Takeaways: Mistakes should be seen as 'takes' that can be improved upon, leading to better outcomes. You are the captain of your current tasks, emphasizing the importance of complete dedication to the present moment. Having a motive, or a defined reason for doing something, can significantly increase your focus and the quality of your actions. Potential should be what drives you, not a comfort pillow. Endeavoring to bridge the gap between actual and potential will spur growth. Taking ownership of your actions and being okay with mistakes in the process are crucial steps toward victory. Notable Quotes: "A take that didn't go well...doesn't mean you're a horrible person." "Every time something doesn't go your way...it's like, okay, that's a take. I can build on that." "You are the captain that's in charge of the task that is right in front of you." "Hope is not a strategy." "Your main goal is to close the gap on your potential."

Our anxiety comes from a forgetfulness of our absolute shelter. When we remember our eternal relationship, we can shift our dependence on the Supreme Person who is the ocean that satisfies all our desires. Rather than being in it for the outcome, our endeavor to give and receive love is sufficient regardless of how jumbled or perfect it may look. Our only duty is to work sincerely, so that our activities may be recognized by Krishna.

Ephesians 4:3– “Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
Psalm 112:7; "They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them." Psalm 34:4; "I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears." When we pursue His heart, He perfects ours. Storms expose whose hearts are built on sand and whose hearts are built on the Rock. Endeavoring to hear and obey God is the Master's instruction to us all in Matt 7:24-27. The devil will help you build a mansion as long as you build it upon sand. But even if you build a Playskool house on the Rock, it will endure any storm. A house standing in the midst of a tumultuous storm reveals a Bride being held by the foundation of her Bridegroom's love. We are His witnesses. On the night where Rosh Hashanah was ending and Florida being on the eve of a major Hurricane, we came together and lifted up a shout of deliverance. Joy & liberty shook the room as we gave Him all the glory! For More info on Gold Street Garden visit; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden

“Imagine if we could all show up in more, if not all, places in life fully ourselves - that we could fully open ourselves to learning, making mistakes, taking feedback, taking risks, and be being fully seen for our humanity and our potential without the fear of embarrassment or retribution.” Move from socially defined to self-authored Have you ever felt that internal tug-of-war where you yearn to bring your whole self to a situation - but you hold yourself back? Perhaps you self-impose guidelines for how you “should” speak and act in your organization? Endeavoring to live with authenticity often causes internal conflict. We suffer when we constantly try to become what (we assume) others expect of us. As a result, we have less energy to innovate, improve and positively impact stakeholders. We end up with a decreased sense of well-being and satisfaction with work and life. Ultimately, we want to live and lead in a way that exemplifies what's most important to us. To help you ground and elevate your authenticity, I share: -What it means to live and lead with authenticity and be “self-authored” -The cost incurred when we don't fully show up as ourselves -5 practices to help create more authenticity Image management hogs organizational resources [03:05] "In an ordinary organization, most people are doing a second job no one is paying them for ... spending time and energy covering up their weaknesses, managing other people's impressions of them, showing themselves to their best advantage, playing politics, hiding their inadequacies, hiding their uncertainties, hiding their limitations. We regard this as the single biggest loss of resources that organizations suffer every day.” – From An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization by Harvard Professors Bog Kegan and Lisa Lahey When we're inauthentic, we suffer [04:55] “Jesus said, ‘If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.'” – From the Gospel of Thomas The result of authenticity?

On this week's episode of The Real Story, it's another solo episode as Joe takes to the mic alone for the first time. In a raw half hour full of candor, he revisits in more nuanced and frank detail the events of the last few months since Christmas, when he and his wife, Anna, first embarked on her fight against cancer.Endeavoring to explore the concept of survival in a society that fails to necessarily recognize it as a functional daily exercise in a world besieged by trauma, he attempts to address dual aspects of his experience—persisting in a fight long past an obvious end, and resentment at the idea of being “lucky”—both of which he's encountered during Anna's rigorous chemotherapy.In an effort to raise awareness, Joe and Anna would humbly ask that you visit and/or donate, if you can, to the Denver Metro not-for-profit, Small Choices, or The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Greater care, treatment, and cures for various types of blood cancers are close at hand. Also, if you are able, you can support Joe and Anna directly at their GoFundMe.If anything from this week's episode resonates with you—perhaps you are even a #CancerWarrior or #CancerSurvivor or #CareGiver yourself—email us directly at podcast@writewayco.com and share your story!
