It is not merely the outwardly wicked who are saved by grace who should be amazed at their salvation. Every Christian, even those who lived a supposed moral life before salvation, should be amazed at God's grace. Salvation is entirely God's work. In the sermon on Ephesians 2:4 titled “‘But God:' The Christian Message to the World,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones examines Paul's introduction of the chief characteristics of the gospel. What makes the gospel good news? It is that in one's salvation, they become a new creature. Conversion is not merely something added to life, but rather a new realm of thinking. The dead have become alive. Dr. Lloyd-Jones remarks that Christ's redemptive work for such sinners seems impossible and yet it's true. He died for the dead so the dead may be made alive. God has done this to show His unmerited favor. His kindness and love are displayed through the salvation of wretched sinners. Come to Christ and discover the exceeding greatness of His power to all who believe. Through the gospel, God has found a way of liberating sinners from all their sin. The Christian, therefore, should be amazed that God would save a sinner such as themselves and not be ashamed because it is the power of God.

The Third sermon in our series: "11 Dangers for Every Christian"Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, 14-21Dr. Nick FloydSenior Pastor

What if evangelism isn't nearly as intimidating as you've always thought?Jeremy Chong is a church planter in Chicago who has spent years taking the gospel to people on the streets of the city. Along the way, he's had many run ins with the police for his evangelism, shared his testimony and the gospel before federal judges, and had his story covered by the Chicago Tribune. His story has even been picked up by people like Ben Shapiro and Franklin Graham.But this conversation isn't really about Jeremy's extraordinary experiences. It's about something much more ordinary: how you and I can actually share Jesus with the people God has put around us.In this episode, Jeremy and I talk about the myths that make evangelism seem harder than it really is, the fears that keep Christians silent, what evangelism actually looks like in a city like Chicago, and how ordinary Christians can become more comfortable having gospel conversations.You don't need to be a street preacher. You don't need a theology degree. You don't need the perfect answer to every question.You just need to be willing to start a conversation.If you've ever thought, “I know I should evangelize, but I would have no idea what to say,” this episode is for you.For more information on Jeremy's Church plant visit: https://www.reformationchicago.com/For more information on Pastor Raef and Park Community Church visit: parksouthloop.org

Today's Promise: 1 John 5:4 Every Christian faces the pressure of a world that is constantly pulling us away from God. Temptation, sin, and the values of our culture can make us wonder if we can really live a victorious Christian life. But God's Word gives us a powerful promise: "Whatever is born of God overcomes the world." Your victory is not found in your own strength or ability. It comes through faith in Jesus Christ.   In today's Daily Promise, we look at what it means to live as an overcomer. Jesus has already won the victory through His death and resurrection, and that victory is available to you today. You don't have to wait until heaven to experience it.   You are a new creation in Christ. You can stand firm, resist the pull of the world, and walk in the victory Jesus has secured for you. Through faith, you can overcome the world.

In this episode, Bruce reflects on Matthew 28:16–20 and Jesus' command to go and make disciples of all nations.The Great Commission is not only for those who travel overseas or work in formal ministry. Every Christian is sent. Most of us are sent into the places where we already live: our homes, workplaces, friendships, neighbourhoods, and communities.Bruce reminds us that to “go” may not mean changing location, but changing the way we understand where God has placed us. We carry Christ through the way we live, love, forgive, speak, listen, and bring hope.This devotional invites you to remember that the One who sends you also goes with you.

In this sermon from 1 Peter 3, Dylan Joyner explains how Christians should faithfully engage a world that is hostile toward Christ and His people. Scripture does not call believers to attack the culture with worldly weapons, nor does it call them to withdraw from the world entirely. Instead, Christians are called to stand confidently in the midst of opposition, trusting Christ and refusing to fear man. Peter gives two central commands: fear no one and honor Christ the Lord as holy. Although believers may experience persecution and suffering for righteousness' sake, nothing can ultimately harm those who are secure in Christ. Even suffering becomes an occasion for blessing, giving Christians every reason to live with confidence and joy rather than fear. The sermon also emphasizes Peter's command to always be prepared to give a defense for the hope within us. Biblical apologetics is not reserved for pastors, scholars, or professional debaters. Every Christian is called to know what he believes, understand why he believes it from Scripture, and be prepared to explain the gospel when opportunities arise. How Christians defend the faith matters as much as being prepared to defend it. Peter commands believers to speak with gentleness and respect, maintaining a good conscience even when they are slandered. Through the righteousness of Christ, believers can fear no man, endure suffering faithfully, proclaim the gospel boldly, and engage the unbelieving world with confidence and joy.

Should Christians trust their feelings when making decisions or entering into worship? In this episode we examine why Scripture, not feelings, must be the primary guide for every Christian. Pastor Richard Caldwell and Josh Philpot discuss the proper biblical view of human emotions, the danger of emotion driven faith, and how to know God's will without relying on mystical signs. Learn how to find real joy in seasons of spiritual depression by anchoring your affections to the inerrant Word of God, so that your desires follow biblical truth rather than shifting feelings.

While God created humanity with the capacity for deep emotion, subjective feelings must never usurp the authority of Scripture in a believer's life. We explore the profound danger of an emotion driven faith and emphasize that true worship, lasting joy, and decision making must be anchored in the objective truth of the Bible. Rather than relying on fleeting sentiments or mystical signs to discern God's will, Christians are called to align their minds with sound doctrine. By seeking wise pastoral counsel and trusting the unchanging promises of God, we can walk faithfully even when our feelings fade.

Every Christian parent wants godly children, but what does it take to actually produce them? While there are no foolproof formulas or guarantees, Scripture and wisdom do offer sound principles that help reach the heart of a child. And a critical component of that process is found in an often neglected area of parenting. Dr. Jeff reveals key truths from Colossians in this week's program..

Every Christian man is engaged in a real spiritual battle. Scripture neither encourages an unhealthy obsession with demons nor permits believers to ignore spiritual opposition. Instead, the Lord commands His people to be strong in Him and to stand firm with the armor He provides. In this episode of Warriors of Grace, Dave Jenkins explains Ephesians 6:10–18 and shows how Christian men can face sin, temptation, fear, discouragement, pride, anger, passivity, and spiritual opposition with biblical courage. Victory does not come through human ingenuity, willpower, or self-confidence. Christian men fight from the finished victory of Jesus Christ. Through truth, righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, Scripture, prayer, and fellowship in the local church, God supplies everything His people need to remain faithful. Stand firm in Christ, remain vigilant, and fight with the armor God provides. For more from Warriors of Grace, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/warriors-of-grace-podcast/

Every Christian should be actively living out the call of God on their life. In this word in season, Ps Michael explains how we can be unstoppable in our quest, and defines the process of knowing and being equipped for our unique call.

"We just talk about boy band Jesus." Nick Freitas breaks down what biblical masculinity actually is and the five pillars every Christian man is called to build: spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, and professional. Host Jeremy Stalnecker sits down with Nick Freitas, author of THE MAN BOOK, host of Making the Argument, husband of 27 years and father of three, for a conversation about why men quietly walked away from the church, and what it takes to bring them back. Nick doesn't blame the culture and he doesn't hand out a 12-step program. He goes to scripture: what does God actually require of a man? Out of that comes the five-pillar framework he teaches, spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, professional, with the receipts for each one. Along the way: why "touchy-feely" church drove him off before special forces brought him back, why hyper-masculinity is the same error in the opposite direction, why he tells young men to get a "violent hobby" (and the caveats that go with it), what it means to be the patriarch of a multi-generational family, and why every phase of a man's life has a job attached to it, including the last one.

Are you doing your part in God's plan for the world? In this devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster draws from Matthew 28:16-20, Mark 16:15-20, and Romans 10:13-15 (KJV) to show that the Great Commission is not just for pastors and missionaries — it is the responsibility of every born-again believer.In Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through what the Bible calls every Christian to do and why it matters today.You might be asking:- Is evangelism really my job, or just the pastor's?- What does it actually mean to preach the gospel?- How do I share my faith without feeling pressured to save someone?- Does God really expect me to go?Key points from this devotion:- The Great Commission is a command, not a suggestion- Faith comes by hearing, and someone must go and speak- God sends us to proclaim the gospel, not to save people ourselves- Keeping His commandments means going — that is how we abide in His love- The church must send, support, and stand behind those who goIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with a friend, and subscribe so you never miss a word.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:

Episode 115 Every Christian wants to grow in their faith.But what if spiritual growth isn't found in chasing the newest Bible study, discovering a hidden formula, or simply trying harder?What if Scripture has already given us the pattern?In this episode, we slow down and unpack Colossians 2:6-8, a passage that reveals how believers mature in Christ and what can quietly pull them away from Him. As we work through these verses piece by piece, we discover that spiritual growth isn't about adding something new to Jesus. Rather, it's about becoming more deeply rooted in the One you've already received.Along the way, we'll explore what it means to walk with Christ every day, build a life firmly established in Him, recognize influences that compete for your heart, and cultivate a faith that continues growing no matter what season you're in.If you've been searching for how to grow spiritually, Christian discipleship, Bible study for women, Christian maturity, walking with God, or practical biblical encouragement, this episode will help you discover timeless truths that can transform your walk with Christ.Healthy things don't become mature overnight. They grow by staying deeply rooted in the right source.

As part of our Youth for God Weekend, we were blessed to welcome Caleb Speer as our guest speaker. In this Sunday morning lesson from Ephesians 4, Caleb challenges the church to embrace God's greater purpose—not merely attending services, but growing together in unity, truth, service, and spiritual maturity. This message reminds us that the church was never intended to simply coexist. We are called to be one body in Christ, equipped to serve, committed to speaking the truth in love, and continually growing into the likeness of Jesus. Key Scriptures

Every Christian faces trials. Some arrive suddenly, while others remain far longer than we would choose. During these difficult seasons, believers often wonder what God is doing and whether their suffering has any purpose. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains what James 1:2–3 and 1 Peter 1:6–7 teach about trials and testing. Scripture shows that trials are not random interruptions to the Christian life. God uses them to test the genuineness of our faith, produce steadfastness, deepen our trust, and lead us toward spiritual maturity. Counting trials as joy does not mean ignoring pain or pretending difficulties are easy. It means trusting that God is faithfully working through circumstances we may not yet understand.

The church belongs to Christ, purchased by His blood and built by His power. Titus 1:5-9 addresses a vital question every congregation must wrestle with: who can Christ trust with His church? Paul instructs Titus to appoint elders who are above reproach, faithful in their homes, and firmly anchored to sound doctrine. These qualifications are not reserved for church leaders alone. They are a picture of what grace produces in every believer. Every Christian must ask what truly rules their life in the private, ordinary moments. The greatest protection Christ gives His church is not merely qualified elders. It is Himself, the chief shepherd, who is perfectly faithful and will never abandon what He purchased with His own blood.

Every Christian is charged to fight for the gospel.

Audio taken from the live teaching "Destroy These 5 Lusts Or They Will Destroy You!" - https://youtu.be/a87RuPgOVmoEvery Christian faces temptation, but temptation becomes dangerous when we allow it to grow into uncontested lust. When you study the Scripture, lust is more than sexual desire; it is any strong, disordered craving that pulls our hearts away from God and toward sin.In our Bible study today we are going to identify the 5 major forms of lust that secretly attack the soul, and discover how to recognize them, and how to restrain them.Key Scriptures used in today's teaching: James 1:12-15Other Scriptures referenced: 1 John 2:15–17; Galatians 5:16; Matthew 6:22-23; Proverbs 4:20-23; 1 Timothy 6:9-10; Mark 10:42-45; 2 Timothy 3:1-4; James 1:14-15In today's study the key Scripture as well as 1 John 2:15-17 was read from the New American Standard Bible (NASB) translation. All other verses are read from the New Living Translation (NLT).If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

Every Christian woman navigating infertility eventually faces the deeper question beneath “Why me?”: Can I still trust God if my path to motherhood looks nothing like I imagined? This episode explores how infertility exposes our fears about God's character and why lasting peace comes not from certainty about the outcome, but from confidence in the One who holds it.

In today's homily, Fr. Daniel Klimek delivers a powerful reflection on God's disappointment with Israel and the pride of Judea; a message that speaks directly to our world today. While we may not worship pagan statues, many of us are tempted to place power, success, comfort, wealth, popularity, or personal desires above God, creating modern-day idols that slowly draw our hearts away from Him.The homily reminds us that God continually calls His people to something far greater. "You are My people, My beauty, My praise." Every Christian has been entrusted with a mission. When we remain rooted in God, our lives bear fruit like flourishing branches. But pride and attachment to false gods distance us from the reality of who we were created to be.God is not disappointed because He stops loving us.He is disappointed because He knows who we are meant to become. When we reject the idols of this world, embrace humility, and allow His grace to work through even our smallest acts of kindness, we fulfill the mission for which He created us and become living signs of His love in the world.Readings for July 27th. 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/072626.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

Every Christian is in a fight. Galatians 5 exposes the conflict taking place within every believer: the flesh pulls us toward self-rule, while the Spirit leads us into the life and freedom of Christ. The battle is real, but so is the victory God provides. Verse 16 says, “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” It's only through the Holy Spirit that we are empowered to fight the war of sin in our lives. Victory isn't found in our own strength and competencies, but in deeper dependence on the One who loved us, gave Himself for us, and now lives in us by His Spirit.You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 9am and 11am CST every Sunday morning.

Power to Be a Witness: Why Everyone Needs the Holy SpiritWhy did Jesus tell His disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit before fulfilling the Great Commission?In this message, Pastor Jonathan Morgan reveals that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is not simply for a personal spiritual experience—it's God's empowerment for every believer to become an effective witness. Jesus never reserved evangelism for pastors or missionaries. Every Christian has been called and equipped to share the gospel and lead others to Christ. Building on Mark 16 and Acts 1, this teaching explores why the Church's greatest mission isn't merely growing attendance, transferring church members, or winning cultural debates—it's seeing hearts transformed through the gospel of Jesus Christ.In this message you'll discover:* Why every believer—not just pastors or missionaries—is called to preach the gospel* The true purpose of the baptism in the Holy Spirit* What Jesus meant by "You shall receive power... and you shall be My witnesses"* Why the gospel is the power of God to transform lives* How sharing your testimony opens the door for healing, deliverance, and salvation* The biblical strategy for changing communities and nations* Practical ways to begin sharing Christ with confidence in your everyday lifeKey Scriptures:* Mark 16:15–18* Acts 1:4–8* Matthew 9:17* Matthew 13:33* Matthew 23:15Jesus didn't call His followers to stay silent. He empowered them with the Holy Spirit so they could boldly proclaim the good news, pray for the sick, see lives transformed, and make disciples wherever they go.The mission field isn't only across the ocean—it's across the street.If this message encouraged you, let us know in the comments:How has the Holy Spirit empowered you to share your faith?

What happens when students step away from the constant noise of social media, academic pressure, and cultural confusion? In this episode, Kasey Leander sits down with Dustin Jizmejian, Senior Director of Conferences and Events at Summit Ministries, to explore why immersive Christian experiences can have a lasting impact on a student's faith, worldview, and purpose. Today's students are more connected than ever, yet many feel increasingly anxious, isolated, and uncertain about what is true. Dustin explains why intentionally stepping away from everyday distractions creates space for meaningful conversations, authentic community, and a deeper encounter with God. Together, they discuss how Scripture shapes our understanding of retreat, discipleship, and spiritual formation—and why Christian conferences remain one of the most effective ways to equip young people with a biblical worldview. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, youth pastor, educator, or student, this conversation will encourage you to think differently about the power of intentional discipleship and investing in the next generation. In this episode: Why are students more anxious, isolated, and distracted than ever How constant digital noise shapes identity and faith Why stepping away creates room for spiritual growth What the Bible teaches about retreat, community, and discipleship How Summit's student conferences help young people build a resilient biblical worldview Stories of students whose lives were transformed through Summit Why lasting faith is often formed through an immersive Christian community How parents and churches can better prepare students for today's culture For more than 60 years, Summit Ministries has equipped thousands of students to think critically, evaluate competing worldviews, and embrace God's truth with confidence. Through two-week summer conferences and other immersive programs, students engage with leading Christian scholars, build lifelong friendships, ask honest questions, and develop a faith that can withstand today's cultural challenges. If you want to help the student in your life grow in wisdom, confidence, and a biblical worldview, there's no better place to start. Learn more or register at Summit.org.
