From the "Living in the Truth" podcast with Joe Granieri, offering a sermon-style teaching that focuses on God's extravagant goodness and the concept of a "hundredfold blessing." Joe uses anecdotes, such as children singing at Yellowstone, and scriptural references—like the story of Isaac in Genesis 26 and New Testament verses—to emphasize themes of faith, divine promise, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Joe encourages listeners to overcome life's "famines" by embracing God's grace and prosperity, asserting that believers should not limit God through incorrect perspectives or lack of faith. The message culminates by urging believers to maintain an eternal perspective and live with kindness and generosity, which unlocks the overflowing blessing promised by God.

Co-Lead Pastor, Pat Mulcahy continues our sermons series, "The Scandal of the Kingdom : Extravagance".

Food historian and acclaimed author Becky Libourel Diamond provides an exclusive look inside her spectacular new release, The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook, during an in-depth interview on The Ash Said It Show. This summary is a must-read for holiday bakers and food history enthusiasts seeking to bring 19th-century elegance to their modern Christmas celebrations. The Mystery of the Sugar Plum Revealed Becky definitively solves the mystery of the legendary sugar plum. She reveals the surprising truth: these historic confections are not sugary plums, but highly prized, expensive spice-coated nuts and seeds, meticulously layered in candy. This insight reframes the sugar plum as the ultimate luxury Victorian dessert of the Gilded Age. Extravagance, Adaptations, and Chef Walter Staib When discussing Gilded Age extravagance, Becky champions incorporating the era's tradition of extended, multi-day feasts and generous hospitality into the modern holiday schedule. The most demanding recipe to update was the lengthy historic fruit cake. Her secret weapon for accurately translating complex 19th-century measurements for today's home bakers? The simple, essential digital kitchen scale. Becky shares her deep respect for fellow food historian Chef Walter Staib, who penned the book's foreword. She would love to see him prepare the grand historic roasted Christmas goose on his show—the ultimate Gilded Age holiday centerpiece. Global Traditions and Festive Recipes Beyond Christmas, the cookbook includes Hanukkah and New Year's traditions. Becky shares a fun fact about Hanukkah: the focus on oil-fried recipes, such as perfect latkes, symbolically commemorates the miracle of the oil. For those ready to dive in, Becky recommends the Holiday Tea Cakes as the perfect festive project to start with. For the ultimate showstopper dessert at a holiday feast, she suggests the impressive, flaming Victorian Christmas Pudding. The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook is the definitive guide to vintage holiday recipes and traditions, offering a blend of history and accessible Christmas cooking for every modern kitchen. Becky Libourel Diamond: The Food Historian Connecting the Past to Your Plate Becky Libourel Diamond is a uniquely accomplished food writer, librarian, and historian whose career masterfully blends rigorous historical research with captivating storytelling.

Landmark Culinary History & Research Becky's expertise extends across early American fine dining: * The Thousand Dollar Dinner: An engaging account of the nineteenth-century "Top Chef"-style competitionbetween Philadelphia and New York restaurateurs, documenting the extravagant, seventeen-course feast that helped launch fine restaurant dining in America. * Mrs. Goodfellow: The Story of America's Cooking School: Her first book details the life of a successful 19th-century pastry chef who pioneered an innovative cooking school for young women in Philadelphia.

Friday Juma KhutbaOctober 3rd, 2025- Today marks the birth anniversary of the 11th Imām, Ḥasan al-‘Askari (a).- Islam is a straight path, away from extremes.- Imām al-‘Askari (a) urged moderation and warned against extravagance.- One must live within one's means and avoid debt.- In modern North America, debt is normalized through student loans and credit systems.- Imām ‘Ali (a) warned that debt causes anxiety at night and humiliation during the day.- Credit cards tempt overspending; discipline is needed to use them only for convenience and pay on time.- Banks exploit customer greed and reward those who don't pay off on time.- Even charity must have moderation; beyond limits it becomes wasteful.- Qur'ān (17:26–30) emphasizes balance: give relatives, the needy, and travelers their due, but avoid wastefulness, which is linked to satanic behavior.- If unable to help financially, respond with gentle words.- Balance in charity means neither extreme miserliness nor extreme extravagance.- Allah controls provision, expanding or limiting it as He wills.- Studying history requires looking at all perspectives, not only the victors' version.- Indigenous peoples of Canada and Native Americans share experiences of displacement and oppression.- In 2007, Queen Elizabeth called the British landing in Virginia a celebration of three civilizations' meeting, but Native Americans saw it as the start of land loss and reservations.- The 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre killed 250–300 Native men, women, and children; soldiers received medals of honor.- Attempts were made to revoke those medals, but later administrations insisted on keeping them.- The Gaza “peace plan” reflects the same pattern: drawn up by oppressors and supporters without input from Palestinians.- The plan ignored disproportionate Palestinian casualties and destruction.- Trump stated Hamas should accept the plan after “20,000 killed” and leadership eliminated, implying the remaining 46,000 were innocent victims unacknowledged in the narrative.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

MATTHEW: THE BRIGHTEST WORSHIP IN THE DARKEST HOUR is an exploration of worship as seen in the closing chapters of Matthew. It takes us through the Passion Week and shows how Jesus worshiped in His darkest hour through prayer, sacrifice, weeping, outreach, and song. Each week highlights a unique expression of worship, drawing from the narratives of the Last Supper, Gethsemane, the crucifixion, and the triumph of Christ's resurrection. This series invites us to see worship as a daily response to God's love, inspired by Jesus' example and the actions of those around Him. Join Horizon for this verse-by-verse study at the Equipping services, meeting Sundays at 8:30 and 9:45 a.m.

Kris Krohn opens up about a life-changing event that reshaped his outlook on money, success, and balance. After years of building wealth, living in a mansion, and owning jets, he reveals why pursuing excess left him unfulfilled. In this raw conversation, he shares how personal tragedy led him to embrace minimalism, prioritize family and health, and redefine what “enough” truly means. Join Kris as he challenges conventional financial wisdom and shows a better path to wealth, fulfillment, and balance.

Today we'll once again be studying Mark's gospel, chapter fourteen. As the saying goes, we're getting down to the nitty gritty, as the plot to arrest and kill Jesus is being hatched. The really wonderful truth to remember as we study these verses, is that Jesus was and is God - and He could have put an end to these events at any time. But He chose to go to the cross willingly, to save us from our sins.

Today, we begin a study of Mark chapter fourteen. It's here that the plot is put into motion that eventually leads to Jesus Christ's death on the cross... an act that grants independence from hell to anyone who would repent of their sins and receive salvation from the Lord.

May your feet be bathed in BUTTER.  May your feet be dipped in OIL. This is the final highlight of the Song of Moses.Nobody knows exactly what this passage meansEverybody agrees it is a good thing.This refers to great abundance, even spiritual luxury.  To have enough bounty to have some for your feet; to be ministered to even with indulgence.This can be your prayer for your family: May their feet be dipped in OIL.https://youtu.be/ALbF59tlV80

04.27.25 | THE INVITATION TO EXTRAVAGANCE | PROPHET JEREMIAH JOHNSON

Jesus is looking for extravagant worship.

This week, Alan unpacks Hebrews 6:12–20, reminding us of the unshakable hope we have in God's promises. In a world full of uncertainty, we're invited to anchor ourselves in the faithfulness of a God who cannot lie. Tune in as we explore what it means to live with patient trust and divine assurance.

Appreciating Extravagance Mark 14:1-11 Pastor Brian Green

Week six of our Into the Mess series | Matthew 13:1-13 | Bill White & Brenna Rubio

At the close of the 1970s, government treasuries and central banks took a vow of perpetual self-restraint. To this day, fiscal authorities fret over soaring public debt burdens, while central bankers wring their hands at the slightest sign of rising wages. As the brief reprieve of coronavirus spending made clear, no departure from government austerity will be tolerated without a corresponding act of penance. Yet we misunderstand the scope of neoliberal public finance if we assume austerity to be its sole setting. Beyond the zero-sum game of direct claims on state budgets lies a realm of indirect government spending that escapes the naked eye. Capital gains are multiply subsidized by a tax system that reserves its greatest rewards for financial asset holders. And for all its airs of haughty asceticism, the Federal Reserve has become adept at facilitating the inflation of asset values while ruthlessly suppressing wages. Neoliberalism is as extravagant as it is austere, and this paradox needs to be grasped if we are to challenge its core modus operandi. In Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance (Zone Books, 2024) Dr. Melinda Cooper examines the major schools of thought that have shaped neoliberal common sense around public finance. Focusing, in particular, on Virginia school public choice theory and supply-side economics, she shows how these currents produced distinct but ultimately complementary responses to the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. With its intellectual roots in the conservative Southern Democratic tradition, Virginia school public choice theory espoused an austere doctrine of budget balance. The supply-side movement, by contrast, advocated tax cuts without spending restraint and debt issuance without guilt, in an apparent repudiation of austerity. Yet, for all their differences, the two schools converged around the need to rein in the redistributive uses of public spending. Together, they drove a counterrevolution in public finance that deepened the divide between rich and poor and revived the fortunes of dynastic wealth. Far-reaching as the neoliberal counterrevolution has been, Dr. Cooper still identifies a counterfactual history of unrealized possibilities in the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. She concludes by inviting us to rethink the concept of revolution and raises the question: Is another politics of extravagance possible? This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

As the brief reprieve of coronavirus spending made clear, no departure from government austerity will be tolerated without a corresponding act of penance. Yet we misunderstand the scope of neoliberal public finance if we assume austerity to be its sole setting. Beyond the zero-sum game of direct claims on state budgets lies a realm of indirect government spending that escapes the naked eye. Capital gains are multiply subsidized by a tax system that reserves its greatest rewards for financial asset holders. And for all its airs of haughty asceticism, the Federal Reserve has become adept at facilitating the inflation of asset values while ruthlessly suppressing wages. Neoliberalism is as extravagant as it is austere, and this paradox needs to be grasped if we are to challenge its core modus operandi. In Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance (Zone Books, 2024) Dr. Melinda Cooper examines the major schools of thought that have shaped neoliberal common sense around public finance. Focusing, in particular, on Virginia school public choice theory and supply-side economics, she shows how these currents produced distinct but ultimately complementary responses to the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. With its intellectual roots in the conservative Southern Democratic tradition, Virginia school public choice theory espoused an austere doctrine of budget balance. The supply-side movement, by contrast, advocated tax cuts without spending restraint and debt issuance without guilt, in an apparent repudiation of austerity. Yet, for all their differences, the two schools converged around the need to rein in the redistributive uses of public spending. Together, they drove a counterrevolution in public finance that deepened the divide between rich and poor and revived the fortunes of dynastic wealth. Far-reaching as the neoliberal counterrevolution has been, Dr. Cooper still identifies a counterfactual history of unrealized possibilities in the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. She concludes by inviting us to rethink the concept of revolution and raises the question: Is another politics of extravagance possible? This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

She also tells us how she elevates her designs to make them evoke emotion and memories. Sarah's Full Bio:Sarah's passion for luxury and beauty began at a young age, shaped by the artistry passed down from her mother and grandmother. Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of Pakistani and Indian crafts, Sarah has successfully blended timeless techniques with modern design to create unique, culturally infused event experiences for South Asians in the US. As Creative Director, she approaches every project as an opportunity to craft transformative visual stories, with a focus on timeless elegance.Her work has earned recognition in Harper's Bazaar Bride, Washingtonian Weddings, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Modern Luxury Weddings DC, and top South Asian bridal blogs.

Embarquez pour une virée hors du commun dans les festivités de Noël ! Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast "On s'en tient à Caro", Caroline Ithurbide vous fait découvrir le cas fascinant d'un couple allemand ayant établi le record du monde du plus grand nombre de sapins de Noël dans un même logement. Avec leurs 600 sapins installés dans un appartement de 280 mètres carrés, Thomas et Suzanne ont réussi à créer un véritable royaume des fêtes, où les lumières scintillantes et les décorations multicolores envahissent jusqu'aux moindres recoins, même les salles de bain et les toilettes ! Décryptant les chiffres ahurissants de cette folle entreprise, Caroline nous plonge dans un univers où l'esprit de Noël a pris des proportions délirantes.Entre stupéfaction et questionnements, on se demande si cette démesure n'est pas le reflet d'un besoin irrépressible de fête et de réjouissances. Car malgré le côté excessif de l'entreprise, on ne peut s'empêcher d'être contaminé par l'enthousiasme débordant du couple, qui a commencé à décorer dès le mois de juin pour être fin prêt pour les fêtes.Alors que certains jugeront cette entreprise comme une pure folie, d'autres y verront le moyen d'exprimer pleinement la magie de Noël. C'est tout le charme de cet épisode que de nous faire réfléchir sur les différentes façons de célébrer cette période de l'année, entre tradition et originalité.
