Everything God has done for us in Jesus is greater in every way. One of the greatest things God has done for us in Jesus is the completeness of our forgiveness. We can not be any more forgiven than we already are through Jesus!

Today David explains how the thoughts of Puritan John Owen in his monumental work, Christologia, completely re-ordered his thinking about law and legal and public policy advocacy in recent years, and how those thoughts relate to the God’s creational intention for every Christian in the present. Creation, the image of God, Sin, and the “ordered liberty” of government that rests on the child in the manger all come together in one glorious scriptural truth about Christ's mediation in this final advent edition.

Take good care of everything God has given you because if you lose it you won't get it back. God taught me a lesson about not taken things for granted i won't go deeply into it but what he let me know is that he gave me a lot of changes concerning this matter and if i kept taking it for granted i would lose the opportunity of having it. And when i look back i saw what he meant and i know if i didn't learn this time i would lose the chance of having some thing that i really wanted because of my ungrateful behavior and i decided to change my way because it wasn't worth me losing that opportunity because of pride. Look after whatever God has given to you because you know without a doubt you couldn't have had it without it. Thank you all for taking the time to listen to Blessed and free 63 where Jesus is Lord

Welcome to our daily bitachon . We are now in the topic of Shaar Habechina , recognizing God in creation. One of the things that the Chovot Halevavot asked us to do was to recognize how things in creation are put together and broken apart. We spoke about how God uses fundamental building blocks to create things. And as we said, there's a mixture of physicality and spirituality. You put into your body and those things that were put together are broken down into separate components, and they are sent into the proper places. So it's almost like you build a tower of Lego and then you take it apart and you put everything back in the correct box. Everything is built together from these same building blocks, whether it's an apple or an orange or a bottle of Coke. It goes into your body, gets broken down, and gets processed and put in the right place. So that's what we're doing all day, is we're putting together, God puts together, then we break apart, and the cycle goes on. So, I'm going to take a very interesting little breakdown, which I was just out of curiosity was looking into recently. What happens when you drink a glass of Coke? We know Coke's not that healthy for you. Let's read exactly what happens. When you drink a glass of Coke, your body processes its main ingredients, which are sugar, caffeine, and phosphoric acid. Through a rapid chain of events, it involves absorption, metabolism, waste removal via the kidneys and the bladder. Now, let's go through each one separately. We'll go through the digestion, the absorption. The first thing that happens is, there's a sugar overload. Within minutes, the high amount of sugar, about 10 teaspoons in one can, hits your system. Your pancreas releases a large amount of the hormone insulin to manage this spike in blood sugar. That means you need a certain level of blood sugar, too much is no good. We all know people who have diabetes have to deal with sugar levels and with artificial insulin shots. Baruch Hashem , most of us don't have that challenge, and our body naturally is able to break down that sugar even when there's a sugar overload. Then, your liver is signaled by the insulin to convert as much of the excess sugar as possible into fat for storage. That's why you become fat when you drink too much Coke. Then there's the caffeine kick. The caffeine is absorbed into your bloodstream, raising your blood pressure and blocking brain chemicals that make you feel drowsy. This makes you feel more alert and increases your heart rate. Then there's nutrient binding, which we'll show up later the importance of this. The phosphoric acid in the Coke binds with important minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc in your intestines, preventing your body from absorbing them properly. So this is like this phosphoric acid is not doing some very good things for your body in causing certain things that should be absorbed not to be absorbed. Then, how does it impact the urination process? There's something called the diuretic effect. About an hour after drinking, the caffeine's diuretic properties become active. What is a diuretic? It's a substance that makes your kidneys produce more urine than usual. Your kidneys, which normally filter waste and excess water from your blood to make urine, are essentially tricked into flushing out the water and the minerals that the phosphoric acid had bound to it. So this phosphoric acid tricks your kidneys into producing too much water. Now, because of that, the waste fluid goes from your kidneys to your bladder, and then eventually it goes out. And that's why when a person drinks these type of coke or coffee, but more coke than coffee, you think you're hydrating your body, but you're really not because it's really causing more water to come out of your body due to this so-called tricking of the kidneys. Now, this will lead eventually, because of this, will cause valuable nutrients and electrolytes to be lost and could cause the dehydration. Why am I going into this? Because this is what happens with a simple activity like drinking a bottle of Coke. There's factories working to process this, break it down, and sometimes the things that we take in causes things to be broken down in the wrong way. That's not our point for right now. But just to appreciate how something as simple as drinking a glass of Coke is not simple. Everything is complex. Everything is bechochma asita . Everything God makes is with wisdom. So it's complex and takes a lot of wisdom and steps. to make these breakdowns that are necessary.

When Jesus said, “God so loved the world,” John chose a surprising word. Not earth. Not humanity. Cosmos. All of creation. Everything God made.In this message, Pastor Phil unpacks how the love of God stretches far wider than we usually imagine—from mountains and oceans to the thin places where time and eternity brush up against each other. Through temple imagery, incarnation, and the presence of the Spirit, we see how God doesn't stay distant. God comes near. God dwells. God fills creation—and us—with love.Christmas isn't just the story of a birth. It's the story of a God who refuses to stay far away.

Everything God gives you is meant to move through you, not just to you.

Today's episode is your Thanksgiving pep talk — rooted in Scripture, not diet culture. We're diving into 1 Timothy 4:1–5, where Paul warns believers not to fall for man-made food rules and reminds us that:“Everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.” Sis… that includes your Thanksgiving meal.- Your mashed potatoes.- Your pie.- Your stuffing.- The foods diet culture told you to fear. In this episode, you'll learn:

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Nov 26, 2025 You are called into a life where spiritual maturity is not an abstract idea but a living journey of becoming more like Christ through the light you choose to see with. In the realm of the Spirit, nothing is real to you unless your inner light makes it visible. This is why the condition of your heart—your perspectives, beliefs, and focus—matters more than anything else. When your soul absorbs God's light through His Word, through meditation, and through the encounters He draws you into, realities in Christ become tangible: healing becomes real, righteousness becomes natural, and transformation becomes inevitable. But when the soul gives attention to the enemy's whispers, to limiting identities, to fear, shame, or self-dependence, the darkness of those lies becomes its own false reality, shaping your experiences and even your physical life. Everything God leads you through is designed to bring you face-to-face with an aspect of Jesus you must encounter so your soul can grow. Every need, weakness, transition, or longing is a doorway—an invitation to discover Christ in a deeper dimension. Whether you need healing, provision, emotional restoration, purity, or courage, the solution is not found in striving but in encountering the Lord who is Himself the answer. God does not lead you around problems; He leads you through transformation so that who you become matches what He intends to give you. Spiritual growth is God drawing you into Christlikeness step by step until the nature of Christ becomes the natural atmosphere of your inner world. Faith is the posture that turns your soul toward God's light. It is not wishful thinking, nor blind optimism, nor religious routine. Faith is seeing—seeing as God sees, agreeing with His verdict even when circumstances contradict it. Faith is evidence, inner clarity, a spiritual illumination stronger than physical sensation. It is the substance that makes invisible realities real to your soul. As you repeatedly feed on God's Word, your spiritual senses become trained, sharpened, and awakened. What once felt distant becomes undeniable. What once felt impossible becomes normal. This is why consistent engagement with Scripture, prayer, worship, and the presence of God is not optional. It is how your soul learns to reject the inferior light of fear, sickness, sin, and limitation, and embrace the superior light of Christ. The path of the just is a progressive path. No one begins fully mature, fully persuaded, or unwavering. Even Abraham staggered at first, producing outcomes outside God's will. Yet through continual engagement with God, he grew until double-mindedness broke and full persuasion took over. This means your inconsistencies do not disqualify you; they are simply points where the Lord invites you to see differently. Transformation happens by reason of use—by practice, repetition, and sustained exposure to the truth until it becomes the dominant atmosphere of your soul. Encounter is not a rare event; it is the rhythm of Christian life. The more you behold the Lord—whether through His Word, His presence, His workings in others, or the movements of His Spirit—the more the life of God flows into your being and reshapes your identity from the inside out. Every dimension of spiritual growth—repentance, faith, immersion in the Word, laying on of hands, transformation, resurrection life, and eternal judgment—forms a progression into maturity. You are meant to journey from infancy into fullness, from shadows into clarity, from struggle into mastery. You were created not merely to believe from afar but to encounter God intimately, to become a gate of heaven where angelic traffic ascends and descends, and to carry the light of Christ in such brightness that it governs your environment. As God's light increases within you, your inner world becomes stable, your decisions become kingdom-driven, and your outward life begins to visibly reflect the glory of God. You are destined to live by faith—not occasionally, but as a lifestyle. You are designed to walk in increasing radiance—not in cycles of darkness and light, but in a steady brightness that grows until the full day. You are meant to become a living expression of the Melchizedek priesthood—a person who feeds on God, shines with God, discerns with God, and carries God's presence into every realm. This is your inheritance: to know God, behold God, reflect God, and host God until every part of your being glows with His nature. Everything in your journey leads you here. Everything God desires for you requires that you see through His light. And everything you long to become is unlocked by beholding the Lord until you are transformed into His image from glory to glory. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

Series: RootedWeek 5 Title: There Is an Enemy!Scripture: Ephesians 6:10–20Big Idea: There is a real enemy who opposes God and His people—but Christ has already won the victory. We don't fight for victory; we fight from it.I. The Reality of the EnemyEvil isn't just human—it's spiritual. There is an unseen realm of darkness opposing God's Kingdom.Satan is not a myth or symbol—he is a fallen angel who rebelled against God and now seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).The devil's greatest trick is convincing the world he doesn't exist.Everything God creates, Satan counterfeits.II. The Enemy's Strategy1. Temptation to SinSatan entices believers to gratify the flesh outside of God's will.Sin becomes a stronghold when it moves from struggle to pattern.2 Corinthians 10:3–5 — take every thought captive.We defeat temptation by walking in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16–17).2. Accusation and LiesThe enemy is “the father of lies” (John 8:44).He twists God's Word and distorts truth to produce shame and confusion.Agreements with lies (“I am unworthy,” “God doesn't care”) must be broken by declaring God's truth.Romans 8:1 — no condemnation for those in Christ.3. Persecution and SufferingThe spirit of darkness opposes the Spirit in you.Believers worldwide face hatred and persecution (Matthew 10:22–23).Trials refine faith and earn eternal reward (James 1:12).III. The Path to VictoryVictory begins with salvation: transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God's Son (Colossians 1:13).Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13–17):Belt of truth – stand against lies.Breastplate of righteousness – guard your heart.Shoes of peace – stay grounded in the gospel.Shield of faith – extinguish doubt and fear.Helmet of salvation – protect your mind with assurance.Sword of the Spirit – strike back with the Word of God.We are protected and empowered to stand firm.The fight is not ours—it's God's.IV. Christ's TriumphColossians 2:15 — Jesus disarmed the rulers and authorities, making a public spectacle of them by the cross.The cross was not His defeat—it was His victory parade.Satan and shame are already conquered.We march in triumph behind our King.

As the prophet Jeremiah recounts the judgment of Jerusalem, he asks, "Is it nothing to you all ye that pass by?" How does it affect your life to witness the fierce anger of God? Everything God is doing is to turn us back to Himself. No individual or nation can get by with sin. God allows trouble in our lives to show us we need to repent and turn to Him while there is still hope for revival.

From the beginning of creation right through to the final completion of time itself, God reveals His selfless, unconditional, unending love for all people. Everything God does, He does because He so loves. For that is who He is. Through the revelation of Jesus comes the knowledge and experience of God's great love.

Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com God wants you to know and understand Him. When you do, you will trust Him. You will never draw back. Everything God does flows from His love for His children. Right now, everything we need for life and godliness has already been made available through Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. He withholds nothing that Christ has purchased for us. The book of Hebrews reminds us that today is always the day of salvation. In other words, we are not waiting for another day or a unique moment. Now is the moment for you to come to God, knowing that the answer to all of your needs in Christ is a resounding “yes!” Our salvation has been bought, paid for, and is being offered at this very moment!

Still, there are moments when God reveals what we need exactly when we need it. At other times, He withholds certain things for our protection. But He never withholds the things essential for an abundant life today. When we train our hearts to recognize the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit, we are never left in confusion. We'll know what to do and who to trust. He'll show us where and how to walk to reach our desired destination, so we can experience the abundant life Jesus promised… right now!

Overcomers Nation Church (Korle Bu) Date: 21.06.25 Topic: ENCOUNTERING JESUS Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa   ENCOUNTERING JESUS An encounter with Jesus leaves a lasting impression and an indelible mark. WHO IS JESUS? Everything God does is for a cause. Scriptural references: Romans 1:26, 2 Thessalonians 2:22, John 12:27, John 18:37. TWO REASONS WHY JESUS CAME To put God in us, to put divinity in humanity (1 John 4:4, 10; 2 Corinthians 6:16; Colossians 1:27). To give us His life, eternal life (1 John 5:5-12). THE LIFE JESUS GAVE Zoe life: the nature of God, eternal life. The life Jesus gave us is the very life of God, changing our nature (2 Corinthians 5:17, James 1:18). HAVING AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS Believe in Him. Believe in His name. Seek Him through the word of God. CONCLUSION Encountering Jesus changes our source and nature. Understanding God in us makes a world of difference.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the function and importance of God's sacred, unchangeable, covenant promises in relation to our receiving our rightful inheritance as His children. Everything God gives to us comes by way of covenant, and His will for us is decreed within the promises of His Word. In order for believers to fully possess all that God has promised us, we must know what He has said AND where in the scriptures He said it - location and meditation are key. God's Word is seed that must be sown in our heart in order to produce. Expecting a harvest by faith without first planting and tending to that seed will not work!

The difference between merely hearing God's voice and truly hearkening to it forms the powerful foundation of Sister Hallam's transformative message. Drawing from her personal word from the Lord—"Hearken unto me and I will lay out the stones for your steps"—she explores how genuine kingdom advancement requires not just passive hearing but attentive listening that produces obedient action.Through a compelling examination of Joshua's contrasting experiences at Jericho and Ai, Sister Hallam reveals a crucial spiritual principle: when we meticulously follow divine instruction as Joshua did at Jericho, we experience supernatural victory. However, when we rely on human wisdom and fail to seek God's counsel even for seemingly minor decisions (as with Ai), we risk defeat and loss. This stark contrast teaches us that no matter how insignificant a decision may seem, every step in kingdom advancement demands divine guidance.Sister Hallam challenges listeners with a penetrating truth: "It is not hearkening unto the Lord if we've already decided what we want Him to tell us." How often do we approach God with preconceived notions, essentially asking for confirmation rather than direction? True hearkening requires emptying ourselves of preferences and preconceptions, being willing to receive correction or even rebuke. These moments of divine redirection often reveal our true commitment to kingdom advancement—are we pursuing God's agenda or merely seeking His blessing on our own?The message concludes with a powerful insight about divine alignment in this apostolic hour. Everything God is doing now centers on alignment—both with Him and with His people. As Brother Robinette affirms, "If you align with people but not with God, you can't get nothing done without God. But if you align with God, He will always expect you to align with people." This dual alignment forms the essential foundation for reaching billions with the gospel.Ready to develop a deeper practice of truly hearkening to God's voice? Listen now and discover how attentive obedience can position you precisely where God needs you in this critical hour of kingdom advancement.We love to hear from our listeners!

Don't get into fear when you hear the word predestination in the Bible. Everything God has planned for our lives is good, but we do reap what we sow. There is good news: God has not "sovereignly" willed bad or evil for our lives. He is always working to bring good, but our own choices dictate whether we partner with God's plan for our lives.  

Main Idea: On the way back from Jerusalem, Mary and Joseph can't find Jesus because he's hanging out at the temple soaking up every word. He's listening with wide eyes no doubt. Later in his ministry we know that he depends on both his knowledge of scripture and his relationship with his father in heaven. Perhaps we need to recover the story seeking of children who always love to listen to stories. God's story is the overarching story of our lives. Scriptures: Luke 2:41-52

The writer to the Hebrews says, you know what? In the past God spoke in various ways. God made himself known through miracles and the writings of the prophets. But let me tell you right now, this is how God declares himself, in His son. And the son is the exact representation of the Father. Everything God wanted us to know about who He is, He made known to Jesus. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1170/29

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter invites us to journey through day 133 of our adventure in the Scriptures. We dive into the dramatic and moving stories of 2 Samuel chapters 21–23, witnessing the final days of King David, including the resolution of a long-standing famine, the tales of his mighty warriors, and David's heartfelt songs of praise to God. We also begin a new journey in the New Testament with 1 Thessalonians chapter 1, where Paul's words challenge and inspire us to see others through the lens of God's love. Hunter reflects on how an encounter with Jesus can transform our hearts and perspectives, encouraging us to embrace a love that reaches beyond our own borders and communities. Closing with thoughtful prayer and the Lord's Prayer, this episode is both a deep dive into Scripture and a gentle invitation to let God's joy and love shape our day. Stay tuned for encouragement, insight, and a reminder that you are truly loved—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God's love changes everything—including how we see others. Here in 1 Thessalonians 1, Paul makes a remarkable declaration. He looks at this young, Gentile church in Thessalonica—people so different from him, people who didn't keep kosher or follow all the right traditions—and he says with conviction: “We know, dear brothers and sisters, that God loves you and has chosen you to be his own people.” For someone like Paul, who had grown up believing gentiles were outside the fold, excluded from God's love and promises, this was a radical shift. What happened? Paul had encountered Jesus. And when you meet Jesus, you begin to see people the way God sees them. That's what Jesus does: he changes how we see and love others. He broadens the boundaries of our hearts. Our natural tendency is to draw circles around those who look like us, those who think or act or believe like us. But when we encounter Christ, our eyes open to just how big God's love really is. Suddenly, we see neighbors, strangers, even those we once called outsiders, as loved and chosen—just as we are. Paul says, “now the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere.” Transformation ignites a ripple effect. The Thessalonians, having received and experienced this all-inclusive love, became living messengers, carrying God's welcome everywhere they went. They became an example of what God's love can do in a community—and for the world. Let's make that our prayer and our posture: that the boundaries of God's love would expand in our own hearts, and that our encounter with Christ would cause us to see all people as loved and chosen. Let the word of the Lord ring out from us—our families, our churches, our very lives—declaring that God's invitation is for everyone. May every day be a day when our vision is shaped not by old ways of seeing, by fear or favoritism, but by the revolutionary grace that Jesus brings. That's a prayer I have for my own soul, for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son, and that's a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak, to understand before we are understood, to love. For in surrender, we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. Amen. And now as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

The post I Believe Everything God Says appeared first on Living Fellowship.

Today's Promise: John 7:39 So many Christians know very little about the Holy Spirit. Yet, when you gave your heart to Christ, the Holy Spirit took up residence in you. Everything God is doing in your life today, He does through the Holy Spirit. Today we look at seven ways the Holy Spirit is working in our lives today. The secret to a successful Christian life is walking in the power God gives us through the Holy Spirit.

What is holiness? To be holy is to be consecrated, set apart, and dedicated to God. For some, this seems daunting. We can be intimidated by the word holy or the knowledge that God wants us to be holy. After all, we know our failings and shortcomings all too well.Main Points:1. But we must see that holiness is a good thing. Everything God calls us to pursue is for our good. Holiness is not outward actions and behaviors achieved in our strength. Becoming holy is a pursuit entered through the grace of God and developed with the strength and power of the Holy Spirit. In other words, you cannot become holy apart from God's help. He does not call us to become something without enabling us to do it.2. How can we get back on the track of pursuing holiness? To pursue holiness we actively seek and strive for a life that is set apart for God. It's a lifestyle characterized by moral purity, righteousness, and devotion to Him. It involves aligning our thoughts, attitudes, actions, and lifestyles with the principles and teachings of God's Word.3. Pursuing holiness involves separating ourselves from sinful behaviors, attitudes, and influences. It means turning away from anything that contradicts God's character and choosing to live a life that honors Him. Today's Scripture Verses:Hebrews 12:14 - “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.”2 Corinthians 7:1 - “Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.”1 Peter 1:14-15 - “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

 Wisdom Key #122

It is said every snowflake has a unique pattern given to it by God. Is it any wonder that each one of us is divinely and uniquely created by God? Papa Tom seeks out uniquely created children of God who have a story to tell. This podcast reveals one such individual who is endowed with a unique wiring for music. Come listen to Erskin Annavitarte describe how God our Father has wired him for music. Erskin is not just a musician, he is an artist who can assemble music for audiences. In our interview, he reminded me of the movie August Rush for those of you who have seen it. Everyone of us is uniquely created with talents and gifts, Erskin's gifts and talent are in music. Come listen as we discuss sound and frequencies, interesting scientific and spiritual aspects of music and sound. The effects of sounds and frequencies on our souls and our bodies to create and edify or, sadly to tear down or destroy. Everything God created, was created by speaking it into existence. In other words, sound energy. Everything tangible is composed of sound energy, hence, frequencies . A question is posed: "Can you hear the sound of the Father's voice in the music you hear?" Can you hear it in the words that are being spoken? or the frequencies being released? Lucifer could create music, but he did not use it for good. God creates everything good and for His purposes. I assure you, you will learn something new when you take a listen and you will be blessed in the learning of it. Information is provided in the podcast for you to connect with Erskin and download his music for your enjoyment and edification.Blessings:Papa Tom

In this powerful message, we're reminded that miracles are not just stories from ancient times, but living realities for those who need them today. The central story of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15 teaches us about persistence in prayer and the power of faith.Notes for this sermon: https://bit.ly/4kx42gKWebsite | https://lifechurchww.comFacebook | https://facebook.com/lifechurchwwInstagram | https://instagram.com/lifechurchwwVida Music | https://vidamsc.com

Dave Brisbin 3.2.25 Jesus doesn't save anyone passively, in spite of themselves, beyond their willingness to actively engage a way of experiencing transformed life he calls Kingdom. If we're waiting for a savior, no one is coming. If we're waiting for anything, we're not in Kingdom. Waiting is passive, not yet; Kingdom is always in motion, herenow. Jesus saves by empowering us to act in ways we may have thought not possible or not allowed. He shows us the process of fundamental change, challenging us to make the small choices we can make now to start dominos falling toward radical transformation not yet. The good news of the gospels is that God is all poured out. Everything God is and has to offer is already herenow. Nothing withheld…Kingdom within, in our midst. Jesus' message tells us that we are empowered to accept the everything of God any time and always, and his Way is the unavoidable process of realizing our empowerment, only and always experiential—the choice by increasingly audacious choice or trust. Tragically, we've been taught a disempowering God who mirrors human leaders to whom we must appeal, who keep us waiting for what we need. If we're waiting, we're not empowered, not in Kingdom, and such a God is anathema to Jesus. Yet we've also been taught that God is disempowered himself and only half of the cosmic equation. The other half, Satan, God's arch enemy and opponent, has the power to lead us into temptation. We imagine ourselves pawns in this cosmic battle, victims, collateral damage in a scorched earth. That is anathema to the Jews who wrote the scriptures from which we extract such a creature as Satan. For Jews, God is unopposable, the One without opposite. No battle is possible, and ha-satan, the adversary, is God's agent—whether a person, spiritual being, or our own inclination to evil—providing us with the alternate choices that make free will real. But the choice is always ours, and ha-satan has no power over us that we don't give. Jesus is telling us we are not victims. Everything we need is right here. The choice is always ours to break through any resistance that would tell us otherwise. Empowered.

Everything God created in the Garden was good—but why did He allow a deceiving serpent and a deadly tree to exist? Was it a test of devotion, or part of a greater plan pointing to Christ? We are not meant to be alone—we have Jesus, our spouses, and the Body of Christ to strengthen, support, and uplift one another. When we love and aid each other, we reflect God's divine plan for unity and purpose. This week, we dive into the profound mystery of why it was “not good” for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18) and how God's design for relationships, marriage, and the Body of Christ reflect His love and purpose.

If what you're being taught isn't moving you to be centered in Christ and living out love then it's not God. Keep testing what you hear against what John teaches us in 1 John 4 and keep testing it. It's ok to wonder and ask questions when it comes to building your spiritual life. Everything God does flows from love and that's how you know it's God. If that's not what you're experiencing then maybe it's time to renovate your spiritual life and test your foundation against who God is and what Jesus lives out in scripture. 

Like it is today, divorce was a controversial topic in Jesus' day. Old Testament laws allowed it, while New Testament laws forbade it. So what was Jesus' response to this issue? He highlighted the sacred beauty of marriage. God created marriage to be between one man and one woman. Everything God makes is good—including marriage!

What frogs in your life are you tolerating and won't let God remove? Everything God has for your life – MUST be built. But before He builds it, God wants to clear out the field to make way for better things. Peel back the fingers on that thing you are holding on to from your past and give it to God. Stop dealing with it tomorrow – deal with it today! At Union, we exist to help people unite with purpose. This is the podcast of Union Church led by Pastor Stephen Chandler.

Moses led the flock when he should have been leading people. When you are running from God and not living out his intention, you do less than you were created to do. I want God to engage in a conversation with me about my needs, where I am. It shouldn't at least be the opening conversation. Guide begins here with Moses. I am sending you to pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt. Moses, there's a calling on your life, and now it's time to step up to it. Joshua follows Moses. Sometimes when everything goes bad in our life, we actually relinquish our intention rather than embrace it. Jonah is the story of a person who knew God's intention but chose not to live it out. And here's the crazy thing about being a human. We can violate and reject the intention God gave it. Everything God creates is under his intention. Wouldn't it be better to align your life with the intention for which you were created, so the whole universe will be in your favor? Have you ever noticed how much energy we lose when we're unhappy?

You cannot live life without faith. What drives faith is that we're all looking to make sense of life. The more meaningless your life is, the more empty you will be of life, he says. Hope remains not just faith, but hope. Hope only exists in the future. The moment you get something you hope for, guess what? It's no longer a source of hope. Human beings are designed with a need for progress. Hope is not optional. It's essential. The moment you feel depressed, go, oh, my soul is telling me my life can be more. Only humans feel the depression of being less than they can see in their imagination. Everything God does is always expanding. You are designed to keep growing every moment of your life. When you love someone, you lose your mind. The best way to never put yourself in danger is to never love just before yourself. Love realigns your choices and redefines your life. Why do we even think about unconditional love? It's because our souls know we're designed for unconditional love.
