In this episode, we begin our verse-by-verse study through the Epistle of James by walking through James 1:1–18.James writes to believers who have been scattered, persecuted, and stripped of the stability they once knew. Instead of offering shallow encouragement, he gives them truth: trials have purpose.In this passage we talk about:• Why believers face trials • What the testing of faith actually produces • The difference between testing and temptation • How to ask God for wisdom in difficult seasons • Why doubt leads to instability • The danger of trusting in wealth instead of Christ • The promise of the crown of life • God's unchanging character and His good giftsIf you are walking through a hard season, this passage reframes suffering in a powerful way. God is not absent in trials, He is refining His people through them.✨ Subscribe for weekly faith-filled encouragement and practical tools for your walk with God, homeschool encouragement, and life in Hawaii as a military family ❤️✨ Follow along on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok: @brookecollins09 & @thefindingfreedomco✨ LINKS

"At the time of the holy Patriarch Thomas I of Constantinople (607-610), the relics of some unknown holy Martyrs were discovered buried in the district of Eugenius. As soon as the Patriarch exposed them for the veneration of the people who gathered from all over the city, numerous healings took place.   "Many years had gone by when a clergyman named Nicolas, who worked as a book copyist, learnt by divine revelation that among these anonymous relics were those of Saint Paul's disciples, the holy apostles Andronicus and Junia, who are mentioned in the Epistle to the Romans (16:7). The Emperor Andronicus I (1183-5) built a beautiful church at the place where thise relics were venerated." (Synaxarion)

February 22nd, 2026 | No Other Gospel | Galatians 1:6-9In this urgent message from our No Other Gospel series, Pastor Matt Darby takes us to Epistle to the Galatians 1:6–9 and delivers a clear warning for the church today: don't turn to a different gospel.Galatians reads like a spiritual tornado warning. Paul skips the pleasantries because something dangerous is brewing. The believers were drifting—not by rejecting Jesus outright, but by subtly adding to Him. And that's where the danger lies.At the heart of this message is a powerful truth:Hold fast to the true Gospel, and you hold fast to Jesus.Turn from the Gospel, and you turn from Him.There is no other Gospel because there is no other Savior.Pastor Matt reminds us that the Gospel is not merely information about Jesus—it is the announcement of what Jesus has done. The Gospel is historical, substitutionary, complete, and received as a gift. It is the good news that Jesus Christ lived the life we couldn't live, died in our place, rose in victory, and now offers full forgiveness and right standing with God by grace alone through faith alone.But the Galatians were being tempted by a “Jesus-plus” gospel—Jesus plus law, plus works, plus religious performance. And that same temptation still confronts us today.This episode exposes modern “Jesus-plus” distortions, including:Jesus + good worksJesus + church activityJesus + moral improvementJesus + personal effort to stay savedWhen we begin trusting our performance to secure or maintain our salvation, we drift from grace. And as Paul makes clear, to distort the Gospel is not a small theological tweak—it's spiritual disaster.With clarity and pastoral urgency, Pastor Matt explains why even apostles or angels are not the authority—the Gospel is. Any message that adds to Christ alone ultimately places us under condemnation rather than freedom.In the true Gospel, Jesus received the curse.In every false gospel, we remain under it.This message is both a warning and an invitation: stop trying to earn what God freely gives. Grace is not something you graduate from—it's something you go deeper into.Kingdom math is simple:Jesus + Nothing = EverythingJesus + Anything = NothingThere are only two options—life in Christ alone or condemnation in everything else. Hold fast to the true Gospel. Hold fast to Jesus.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

February 22nd, 2026 | No Other Gospel | Galatians 1:6-9In this powerful message from our No Other Gospel series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz walks us through Epistle to the Galatians 1:6–9 and confronts one of the most urgent dangers facing the church—counterfeit gospels.The Apostle Paul opens his letter with strong words: “I am astonished…” The believers in Galatia had embraced the true Gospel—saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. But after Paul left, false teachers crept in with a subtle distortion: Jesus is necessary, they said—but not enough. Faith in Christ must be supplemented with circumcision and obedience to the Old Testament law.It sounded close to the truth. It used familiar language. But it was fatally flawed.Pastor Todd unpacks the meaning of the word euangelion—“good news”—a proclamation of victory. Just as a king would send word home that the enemy had been defeated, the Gospel announces that Jesus has conquered sin, death, and the grave. The message is clear: salvation comes by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.But what happens when we add to that message?In this episode, you'll discover:Why “Jesus-plus” gospels actually abandon JesusHow adding works to grace nullifies the finished work of ChristThe difference between a distorted gospel and the true GospelWhy Paul's warning carries eternal weightFrom religious moralism to systems that subtly mix grace and works, Pastor Todd shows how counterfeit gospels often look nearly identical to the real thing—just like a fake bill that passes at first glance. The solution? Become so familiar with the true Gospel that you instantly recognize the counterfeit.Because in God's Kingdom math:Jesus + Nothing = EverythingJesus + Anything = NothingThis message is both a warning and an invitation. The true Gospel is good news—Jesus took the curse so we could receive grace. Any other message is not just a variation. It's no gospel at all.Listen in and rediscover the freedom, clarity, and power of the one true Gospel.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠⁠

Are we living in a post-Christian culture? And if so, how should believers respond?In this message from Epistle to the Romans 1:16–32, we confront one of the most sobering passages in Scripture. The Apostle Paul describes a culture that has exchanged the truth of God for a lie — suppressing truth, worshiping creation over the Creator, and experiencing the consequences of that exchange.But this is not a message of condemnation — it is a message of power and hope.The gospel is still the power of God for salvation. In a world that may be drifting from its spiritual foundations, followers of Jesus are called not to shame, outrage, or fear — but to faithful devotion, humility, and transformation.

After a serious fall that left me unconscious for an hour and waking up in the ER, Pastor Troy was reminded how fragile life is and how powerful our words are. In this message from Epistle of James 3, we unpack why the tongue holds the power of life and death and why James boldly says, “This should not be!” If you want to understand what real Christianity looks like, this message will challenge and change you.

In a world where happiness often feels temporary and dependent on circumstances, A Joy That Grows invites us to discover a deeper, lasting joy rooted in faith. In this encouraging message, Pastor Shane draws inspiration from Epistle to the Philippians, where Paul the Apostle speaks of rejoicing even while facing imprisonment. Through this powerful example, we are reminded that true joy is not based on comfort, success, or ease—but on a growing relationship with Christ.

Revival isn't hype. It isn't noise. It isn't emotional intensity.It begins in the heart.In this message, Pastor Mark Roslund unpacks how revival moves:• It starts with worship and devotion• It deepens through renewal and transformation (Epistle to the Romans 12:2)• It overflows into repentance and salvationFrom “Delight yourself in the Lord” (Book of Psalms 37:4) to the call to be made new in Christ, Scripture shows that awakening always starts personally before it spreads publicly.If you've been longing for deeper faith, this message is for you.Rose Church — Winnipeg, CanadaSundays at 9AM & 11AMSubscribe for weekly biblical teaching and encouragement.#Revival #ChristianGrowth #SpiritualRenewal #RoseChurch #WinnipegChurch

In this episode of FACTS, Dr. Stephen Boyce explores one of the most beautiful and overlooked writings of the early Church — the Epistle to Diognetus. Written in the second century, this anonymous apology offers a stunning portrait of early Christian identity before Constantine, before the great councils, and before Christianity held cultural influence.What did Christians actually believe about their place in the world?How did they explain themselves to pagan critics?And what does it mean that Christians are described as “the soul in the body” of the world?We'll examine the historical background of the letter, its theology, its apologetic strategy, and its powerful vision of Christians living as citizens of heaven while dwelling among the nations. Long before Christendom, this text shows us a faith that was confident, distinct, and radically countercultural.If you want to understand how the earliest Christians saw themselves — and what that means for the Church today — this episode is for you.#ChurchHistory #EarlyChristianity #EpistleToDiognetus #Patristics #Apologetics #FACTSPodcastIf you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Stephen Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7Link to the Letter: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0101.htm

The Principal of His Hill Bible School, Jon Forrest joins Kelly in this episode, sharing a devotion from the Epistle to the Philippians and asking the question: What is your attitude?The right attitude of the believer should reflect the attitude of Jesus Christ. What marked His life was a consistent willingness for the Father to have His way — and the result was always what was best for others.Is your life one of serving others or yourself? Does your attitude agree with Christ's, who emptied Himself and took the form of a servant?www.instagram.com/thehishillpodcast/www.hishill.orgkelly@hishill.org

Ingredients 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted, then measured2 tablespoons light corn syrup3-4 tablespoons milk3/4 teaspoon vanilla extractFood coloring (optional) Instructions Whisk everything until you get right consistency.Add food coloring drop by drop.Extra can be stored in refrigerator and whisked at room temperature. To frost cookies: After they cool, I like to dip the cookies face down in the icing. Carefully wiggle it around a bit so the whole top gets coated. Extra can be scraped off edges if necessary. Place on rack to dry. Or you can drizzle the icing on with a fork or whisk. It’s pretty that way too and allows some of the cookie to show on top.Let cookies sit until icing hardens completely before storing or stacking. ***** Sr. Allison Regina Gliot, author of The Light they Left Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Christian experience is the embrace of the wild extremes of the emotional spectrum.Monday • 2/16/2026 •Monday of Last Epiphany, Year TwoThis morning's Scriptures are: Psalm 25; Proverbs 27:1–5,10–12; Philippians 2:1–13; John 18:15–18,25–27 This morning's Canticles are: following the OT reading, Canticle 9 (“The First Song of Isaiah,” Isaiah 12:2–6, BCP, p. 86); following the Epistle reading, Canticle 19 (“The Song of the Redeemed,” Revelation 15:3–4, BCP, p. 94)

In this powerful message from the “Mute” series, we tackle a struggle everyone understands—distractions that pull us away from what matters most. So many of us start with good intentions, but somewhere along the way we lose focus. Inspired by Epistle to the Hebrews 12:1–2, this sermon challenges us to fix our eyes on Jesus and stop letting the noise of life steal our peace, purpose, and spiritual growth.You'll be encouraged to recognize what's been distracting you, count the real cost, and take simple, practical steps to refocus—whether that's building better habits, asking honest daily questions, or muting things that compete for your attention. It's a clear call to live with intention, grow closer to Christ, and step into the life God has for you.

We're kicking off a brand-new series called We've Got Issues — and no, it's not about how your family is worse than everyone else's. It's about being human.Every marriage. Every parent. Every home. We all have issues. But most of what we call “family problems” are really heart problems. Not just communication issues. Not just schedule conflicts. Not just personality differences.At the root? Sin.In this message, we walk through Epistle to the Romans 3:9–12 and uncover a hard but freeing truth: we don't have occasional sin problems — we have a sin nature. And until we name the real issue, we'll keep chasing the wrong solutions. This isn't about behavior modification. t's about heart transformation. If you name the wrong problem, you'll chase the wrong solution. But where sin is named, grace can finally do its work.Healed families start with honest hearts.

Join us as we study through the Epistle to the Galatians in our sermon series, "The Gospel of Grace."In today's podcast, we will be focusing on Galatians 4:8-11.If you have any questions or would like to leave a comment, please feel free to email us at info@ravenswoodbaptist.org

In Week 2 of our No Other Gospel series, Pastor Sean Gasperetti walks through Epistle to the Galatians 1:11–24 and asks the question: Do you believe the Gospel can change someone's life? Looking at the radical transformation of the Apostle Paul—from persecutor to preacher—we're reminded that God loves to reveal His heart to the people you'd least expect, and that private formation leads to public fruitfulness. If God can change Paul, He can change anyone—not to elevate us, but to magnify Him.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “Christ pervades all Scripture, as salt all waters of the sea, as light the brightest day, as fragrance the garden of choice flowers.”~Henry Law (1797-1884), Cambridge-educated Dean of Gloucester in Christ is All “The righteousness of God is God's righteous initiative in putting sinners right with himself, by bestowing on them a righteousness which is not their own but his. The righteousness of God is God's just justification of the unjust, his righteous way of pronouncing the unrighteous righteous, in which he both demonstrates his righteousness and gives His righteousness to us.” ~John Stott (1921-2011), British Anglican pastor and theologian “The righteousness of God is not that by which God is righteous but that with which he clothes man when he justifies the ungodly”~ Augustine (354-430), North African church leader, explaining Paul's understanding of “righteousness” in the Letter to Romans (A Treatise on the Spirit and the Letter) “God allowed his Son to suffer as if a condemned sinner, so that we might be delivered from the penalty of our sins. This is God's righteousness, that we are not justified by works…but by grace, in which case all our sin is removed.”~John Chrysostom (c. 347-407), Homilies on the Epistles of Paul to the Corinthians “He Himself took on Him the burden of our iniquities, He gave His own Son as a ransom for us, the holy One for transgressors, the blameless One for the wicked, the righteous One for the unrighteous, the incorruptible One for the corruptible, the immortal One for them that are mortal. For what other thing was capable of covering our sins than His righteousness? By what other one was it possible that we, the wicked and ungodly, could be justified, than by the only Son of God? O sweet exchange! O unsearchable operation! O benefits surpassing all expectation! that the wickedness of many should be hid in a single righteous One, and that the righteousness of One should justify many transgressors!”~The Epistle to Diognetus (c. 150AD) 9:2-5. “The operation of the Church is entirely set up for the sinner; which creates much misunderstanding among the smug.” “Don't expect faith to clear things up for you. It is trust, not certainty.”~Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964), American authorSERMON PASSAGERomans 1:14-17 (ESV)Romans 1 14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Romans 321 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 4 5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.

The Letter of Jude E5 — In verses 11-16, Jude continues warning his Jewish messianic audience about deceptive, immoral people infiltrating their house churches. He compares them to three characters from the Hebrew Bible—Cain, Balaam, and Korah—who choose rebellion for themselves and lead others astray. Next, he compares the corrupt church members to a series of images from Scripture, including selfish shepherds, rainless clouds, and wandering stars. In this episode, Jon and Tim continue exploring Jude's dense prose, where he seamlessly weaves together allusions to the Hebrew Bible and Second-Temple period literature into a piercing critique of imposters within a community of disciples.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSCain, Balaam, and Korah (0:00-23:23)Six Images of Corrupt Leaders (23:23-37:45)The Prophecy of Enoch (37:45-55:42)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.BIBLEPROJECT JUDE TRANSLATIONView our full translation of the Letter of Jude.REFERENCED RESOURCESAntiquities of the Jews by JosephusCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Gentle Lamb” by Lofi Sunday, Yoni Charis“Purple Clouds ft.

The Letter of Jude E4 — In verses 5-7, Jude warns a Jewish Messianic community about a group of people in their midst who live without moral restraint and reject Jesus' authority. After comparing them to a series of human and angelic rebels in the Hebrew Bible, Jude then calls out the corrupt church members in verses 8-10 as ones who “slander the glorious-ones,” referring to angels. What is Jude talking about, and why would slandering spiritual beings be considered offensive? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the Hebrew Bible and Second-Temple period apocryphal literature to understand the unique role and revered status of angels among 1st-century Jewish people.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSRecap of Introduction and Setup for Verses 8-10 (0:00-10:21)Angels in the Hebrew Bible and Second-Temple Literature (10:21-39:02)Michael the Archangel's Restraint (39:02-1:06:12)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.BIBLEPROJECT JUDE TRANSLATIONView our full translation of the Letter of Jude.REFERENCED RESOURCESGod and Spiritual Beings Podcast SeriesCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books.SHOW MUSIC“Chillbop ft.
