Big Idea: Jesus does not reject those who honestly struggle with doubt; He graciously strengthens their faith through His presence and His Word, leading them from doubt to worship. Bible teaching by Alex Vaca on the 9th August 2026. TEACHING NOTES: Honest Doubt Can Lead Us to Christ- John 20:24–25 • Thomas missed Jesus' first appearance. • Isolation often makes doubt grow. • Thomas wanted certainty before believing. His struggle was understandable after the crucifixion. Jesus Meets Doubters with Mercy- John 20:26–28 • Jesus patiently waited for Thomas. • He knew Thomas' doubts before Thomas spoke. • Christ offered evidence, not condemnation. Blessed Are Those Who Believe Without Seeing- John 20:29–31 • Future believers would know Christ through Scripture. • John's Gospel was written to produce faith. Fight Doubt with Faith- Romans 10:17 /2 Corinthians 5:7 • Faith grows through God's Word. • We walk by faith, not by sight. • God's promises are stronger than our feelings. Trust God When You Don't Understand- Romans 11:33 • Not every question will be answered in this life. • Faith trusts God's character when His ways remain hidden. • God is working even when we cannot see Him.

Wherever faith clings to the promises of God, doubt is always lingering. Doubt asks the serpent's garden question, “Did God really say?” People doubt God's care, God's promises, or God's providence. The answer to doubt is not found in loud, dramatic demonstrations. The true answer to doubt is found in the still small voice of our Savior God whispering to us in his Word. Through Word and sacrament,Christ reaches out to us with nail-scarred hands, proof of his great love. Jesus gently says, “Why did you doubt?” Our faith is restored. Christians answer doubt with faith.Support the showMessages from the King is produced by King of Kings Lutheran Church in Maitland, FL.To find out more about King of Kings...Please visit VisitKoK.comLike us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/visitkok)Email us @ info@visitkok.comRemember your Savior Jesus loves you!

Send us Fan MailRomans 10:1–13 — Zeal Without Knowledge and Salvation by Faith Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison discuss Romans 10:1–13 (RSV) in season 18, episode 22, focusing on Paul's anguish that many Jews reject Christ despite serious religious zeal. They contrast rigorous Sabbath rules and man-made traditions with “God's righteousness,” arguing that Israel sought self-established righteousness rather than submitting to God. They unpack “Christ is the end of the law” as both fulfillment and the end of the Mosaic covenant as a means of salvation, replaced by the covenant of grace. Quoting Leviticus and Deuteronomy, they emphasize humans cannot perfectly keep the law, so salvation comes through confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in the resurrection, which Paul treats as justification. They explain Paul's Isaiah reference and conclude that salvation is for anyone—Jew or Greek—who calls on the Lord. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:34 Romans 10 Reading 02:27 Paul's Heart for Israel 04:06 Zeal Without Knowledge 05:18 Sabbath Rules Example 08:13 Cafeteria Faith Today 09:56 Christ Ends the Law 13:40 Law vs Faith Explained 17:46 Confess and Believe 20:40 Isaiah and Assyria Story 25:32 Everyone Can Be Saved 27:04 Wrap Up and JokeNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock

Everyone has times where our efforts feel completely fruitless. You might be praying for a breakthrough in your mental health, trying to find a safe community after church hurt, or pouring hours into your stream only to broadcast to an empty room. When you look at the data, it's incredibly easy to feel like your situation is "already dead."Hebrews 11 and Romans 4 have four characteristics of a faith that pushes through that deadness: Vision, Confidence, Hunger, and Dreams. Vision: Seeing the promises of God from a distance, even when your current reality looks completely contrary to them.Confidence: Having absolute assurance in God's character and His ability to perform what He has promised, rather than relying on your own strength or performance.Hunger: An active, desperate pursuit of God and His promises.Dreams: Focusing forward on what God is doing next, rather than being paralyzed by past failures, mistakes, or trauma.Chapters00:00 - Introduction: Abraham's Example of Faith (Romans 4)02:45 - What Faith Actually Is (Hebrews 11)06:05 - When Your Efforts Feel "Already Dead"13:13 - Vision (Seeing the Empty Lot)26:09 - Confidence (Reason at Rest in God)36:43 - Hunger (Active Desperation & Obedience)45:37 - Dreams (Refusing to Live in the Past)56:05 - Conclusion: Reorienting Your Life Around God's PromisesWatch live 9am Mon-Fri at https://www.twitch.tv/xtianninja

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Abraham's faith grew as he came to know God more deeply throughout his life, learning that God cannot lie, remains perfectly faithful, and possesses the power to fulfill every promise He makes. The path to stronger faith is the same for us: fixing our eyes on God through His Word and His people, allowing our confidence in Him to grow as we remember who He is and what He has done.

As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. 2 One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. 3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. 4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; 11 for it is written,“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,     and every tongue shall confess to God.”12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.13 Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer…1.     Do you think that the church faces the same tensions our broader culture does in terms of disputes, judgment and division?2.     Paul had a clear position on the meat debate, agreeing with the strong but still refusing to weaponize it to win the argument. Is there a position you hold that you've been tempted to make a condition of fellowship? What makes it hard to hold the conviction without using it as a weapon?3.     Diagnostic question: what are you giving God thanks for? Are there areas of your life you haven't really brought before Jesus in thankfulness?4.     The sermon describes the "tender" places — corners of our lives where we still feel like we have to perform to keep our place. Where is that for you?5.     Have you ever had a moment, even briefly, where you saw someone you'd been judging the way God might see them? What was that like, and did it change anything?6.     Does applying the gospel personally to yourself, that you've been welcomed by Jesus, encourage and empower you to welcome others different from you? How so/why not?

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace What kind of faith can stare down impossible circumstances and still trust God? Abraham's example in Romans 4 shows us a faith that hopes, believes, perseveres, and acts on God's promises.

Today’s Bible Verse: “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” — Romans 10:14 Romans 10:14 highlights the importance and urgency of sharing the gospel message. Paul lays out a simple but powerful reality: people cannot believe in Jesus if they have never heard about Him. The good news of Christ is meant to be proclaimed, shared, and lived out so others can encounter the hope of salvation. “Want to listen without ads?

Previously, Paul had just laid out that justification comes by faith and uses Abraham as an example. Now in Romans 5, Paul briefly lays out the multitude of blessings that come with our justification through faith. We have peace with God, and we can now find access into his unending grace. Furthermore, we have joy even in our sufferings because it produces hope. And this hope does not fail us because it has been proven through God's own love for us.

In today's podcast, the guys discuss the word of faith as Paul proclaimed it. In examining this text, we can see how we may present everything a person needs to know to believe in Jesus Christ and obtain salvation. This is not an impossible task that God requires us to complete. Salvation in Christ has drawn near and is accessible by faith. Conformed to Christ aims to engage the mind, affect the heart, and call people to follow Christ. Additionally, our aim is to introduce and explain passages of Scripture and difficult theological doctrines in a down-to-earth and easy-to-grasp manner. Theology and the Bible should impact your life, and our goal is that we might play a small part in seeing that happen. Conformed to Christ is a ministry of Christ's Fellowship Church. https://cfclawton.org/ ***Be sure to subscribe on YouTube, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, and Amazon Music Youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCgQBeT-Mj1CmngPdhZyWybQ iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conformed-to-christ/id1503247486 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2NvbmZvcm1lZHRvY2hyaXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5YruCZu4hla6Ll3rBu7UPY  

Pastor Gabriel Hughes preaches from Romans 10:5-7 on the righteousness that God grants to us which is received not by our works but through faith in Jesus Christ. Visit providencecasagrande.com for more info about our church!

Romans 1:17 continues to unfold why the Apostle Paul is not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The good news is not only the power of God for salvation, it is also the revelation of the righteousness of God, a righteousness received by faith. These verses serve as a summary for the letter, outlining primary themes that follow: the gospel, God, righteousness, and faith. Each of these are doctrines that we both want to understand and apply as we grow together in Christ.

Send us Fan MailRomans 6: Dead to Sin, Alive to God Co-hosts Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Alison discuss Romans 6:1–14 (RSV), focusing on Paul's rejection of antinomianism (“Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means”) and the teaching that believers have died to sin. They explain “baptized into Christ's death” as the first-century conversion process where confession, repentance, baptism (likely immersion), and church acceptance occurred together, signifying regeneration (“born again”) and a new life. Dying with Christ means release from sin's debt and slavery, while resurrection life begins at conversion, not only after physical death, through the indwelling Holy Spirit. They address whether Christians can live sin-free, noting Paul's coming struggle in Romans 7, and introduce the Methodist doctrine of entire sanctification as moments of being “perfected in love” toward God and neighbor. They announce a one-week break due to Rocky's trip and Ken's move. 00:00 Welcome and Catch Up 00:31 Romans 6 Reading 02:22 Grace vs Sin Debate 04:06 Baptized Into Death 05:18 First Century Baptism 09:54 Regeneration Born Again 12:47 Freed From Sin 16:02 Resurrection Starts Now 18:04 Sin No Dominion 20:23 Entire Sanctification 24:58 Wrap Up and Next TimeNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock 

Why does your faith feel off—even when you're trying to do everything right?Why do some “Christian” ideas sound true but don't actually work?A lot of what we believe about God is shaped more by culture than by Jesus. And when those ideas don't line up with truth, faith can start to feel frustrating, confusing, or disconnected.Romans 12:1–2 points to a better way—not copying the world, but being transformed by changing how we think. Faith isn't about finding the easiest life or getting God to agree with your plans. It's about surrender, renewal, and learning to live the life He designed for you.Jesus doesn't just give better advice—He makes you new from the inside out.If your faith hasn't been working the way you hoped, this might be why.Watch and explore what it looks like to build something real.

For many, the word “faith” sounds foolish. We hear this in phrases like “blind faith” or “taking a leap of faith.” But our faith as Christians is far from foolish because of Who our faith is in: the Promise-Keeping God of the Universe. The Bible says, “The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him” (2 Chron. 16:19). God is always searching for opportunities to strengthen those who trust not in themselves but in Him.Take-Home Message: Don't have faith in yourself.Have faith in God by surrendering to His righteousness (13-15).Surrendering My Self-Righteousness:PrayerlessnessPerfectionismPharisaismHave faith in God by hoping in His promises (16-22).Have faith in God by depending on His power (23-25).

What does real, saving faith actually look like? In Romans 4:13-25, we see that God's promise was never secured by human effort, religious performance, or having it all together... it was always rooted in grace. Abraham's story shows us a faith that faces impossible circumstances honestly, yet still clings to the faithfulness of God. This message explores how biblical faith is not vague optimism or blind belief, but confident trust in the God who keeps His word. And ultimately, Paul points us to the heart of the gospel: the God who gave life where there was none has raised Jesus from the dead for us. If you've ever wondered what it means to truly trust God, this message will challenge and encourage you.Connect with us!Missioncity.church

Believers in Jesus Christ have won the lottery. The only difference is that our prize is far greater: we are declared right with God, all our debts are forgiven, and we are promised eternity in heaven. We could never earn or deserve any of these, a fact that was especially radical in Paul's day. There was a belief in Judaism that salvation came by obedience to God's Law, but Paul put forth that no one but Jesus could fulfill the Law. Paul then showed his Jewish brethren that their father Abraham was saved by faith before the Law was given (Gen. 15:6). Because God has credited us with a righteousness we have not earned and wiped out a debt we could not pay, the only proper response is for us to follow Jesus. We are called to “walk in the footsteps of the faith” like Abraham: “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God” (Hebrews 11:8-10).Take-Home Message: God credits righteousness to my account through faith.God credited to me a righteousness I did not earn (1–5).God forgave the debt I did earn (6–8).God calls me to follow in the footsteps of the faith (9–12).The footsteps of the faith is a well-worn trail.The footsteps of the faith are not walked alone.The footsteps of the faith include the cross but end in glory.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Paul confronts the deeply ingrained belief that we must contribute to our salvation by showing through Abraham and David that no one is justified by works but only by God's grace through faith. Both the righteous and the broken are saved by trusting in Christ, whose righteousness is credited to us and whose grace removes our sin.

Most people assume being right with God comes down to effort, sincerity, or religion... but Romans 4 tells a very different story. In this message, we step into one of the most freeing and humbling truths in all of Scripture: that God's verdict over your life is not built on your performance. Through Abraham's story, Paul exposes the false confidence we place in works, morality, and spiritual identity. What happens when grace interrupts the whole system? What happens when righteousness is received instead of achieved?Connect with us!Missioncity.church

Message from Stephen Abeshima on March 22, 2026

Pastor Eric Zellner continues preaching through the book of Romans. This week, as Paul focuses on the nature of faith, we're invited to: Trust the God who keeps His promises.

Most of us probably know that being a Christian has something to do with faith. But what is faith, exactly? How do we know if we have it? And how can we develop it? This week, will we see what faith is, why it is essential, and what happens in our lives as a result.

Date: Sunday, March 8, 2026Title: Saving FaithPreacher: Wayne MeadowsSeries: Romans (Part 44)Passage: Romans 10:5-13

Pastor Zack continues our series in Romans, unpacking the powerful truth that we are justified by faith, not by works. Through Jesus' finished work on the cross, we are declared righteous and welcomed into God's family. This message invites us to stop striving and live from the peace, grace, and hope we have in Christ.
