This is message 6 in The Twelve Disciples series John 1:43-46 Philip, known for his practical and cautious nature, demonstrated both strengths and struggles in his journey of faith. From responding to Jesus' call and inviting Nathaniel to “come and see,” to grappling with tests of faith during the feeding of the five thousand, Philip often leaned on logic rather than trust. He hesitated when approached by Greeks seeking Jesus and sought tangible evidence in his request to “show us the Father.” Through these moments, Jesus gently guided Philip to move beyond his reliance on reason and embrace a deeper faith, teaching him—and us—to trust in the sufficiency of Christ's revelation and provision.

152 - A Faith Tested Is A Faith Strenghtened, Joshua 24, 6 - 7 by Pastor David Goodson
It's important to accept deeply that faith will be tested in this pilgrimage. When it is God wants us to trust him.

Today we continue our look at James with pastor Lloyd Pulley. If you had to describe your life, and what's going on right now, I think it's safe to say many of us would point to a trial or two that we're experiencing. And maybe you feel like you're being steamrolled by a trial right now? Today, we receive great encouragement from James, who went through suffering himself, and explains why we go through them.
Today we enter the New Testament book of James. You'll find James toward the back of the New Testament, right after Hebrews. James was the half brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and as we'll see during this study, he was a preacher of extraordinary passion. The book of James is all about faith in Christ, and what a relationship with Him really means.
Having someone turn their back on you is one thing. But having a loved one turn their back on you is a different kind of hurt. When some of my loved ones turned their backs on me, I did these three things to heal and move forward. If you've ever experienced a loved one turn their back on you, tune in to today's podcast episode and implement these three strategies. Remember, don't let anything stop you from your healing and freedom.
Looking into Genesis 22, pastor Luke shared how Abraham trusted God's character and how the passage ultimately points us to Jesus' death on the Cross, the greatest act of love! ++++++++++++++ Download the Church App here: https://bit.ly/3vxVr8q If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave a comment below

Genesis 22:1-24 ESV After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar. Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy will go over there and worship and come again to you.” And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together. And Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together. When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called the name of that place, “The LORD will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.” And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven and said, “By myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.” So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham lived at Beersheba. Now after these things it was told to Abraham, “Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” (Bethuel fathered Rebekah.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother. Moreover, his concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.

With the new season of Survivor premiering soon - one of the most popular TV programs and reality shows of all time - a former contestant from Alabama shares about how she got on the show and what it was really like on the island. On this Valentine's Day, this mom and ministry leader also very open about her 2nd chance love story with her now-husband...a recent cancer battle that made her question God...and why experiencing faith is so important. (5:15) Krista Klumpp Russell describes having to break her own heart with her high school sweetheart Blake, when he was on the path to destruction that eventually landed him behind bars for a decade. Getting out and 13 years after they broke up, they reunited and have now been married 6 years. How did their Christian walks help make that happen? (15:30) In the last few years, Krista was also diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, at 37 years old. She breaks down the 18 weeks of chemo and all the other treatments, prayer that led her to being declared cancer free last Fall, with still more work to do. That cancer battle though made prayer and her faith difficult at times. She explains. And Krista says she no longer has a "boring testimony." (26:50) Krista (Klumpp) was on season 22 of Survivor, Rdemption island, lasting 15 days, but being the 4th person voted out. How did a random chance moment lead to her casting call for the show? How was she grilled about her faith and beliefs before being picked? And she has advice on how to get on a show like this. Krista details how tough it is, with cameras always on you, little food, other challenges on Survivor. She's also passionate about people (37:14) really experiencing faith, not just stating beliefs, but putting them into action beyond the church walls. That means getting out of our comfort zone. Krista and family did that for a full month in Africa. (45:49) As for fitness, this busy mom of 2 young kids doesn't enjoy working out, but enjoys the benefits, so she has a "use it or lose it" attitude. (52:57) She and husband Blake Russell are co-founders, leaders of 7M Ministries: https://www.7mministries.org/. He speaks at jails/prisons, schools, churches as an evangelist and former drug dealer who radically turned his life around through Jesus. Their goal or slogan is "Doing Our Part." How can you make a difference? Krista plans to step out more to share her testimony, including her cancer battle. As we do with all episodes, I close out in prayer.

The speaker talks about how trials and testing are intrinsic to our faith journey, based on passages from the Bible. He emphasizes that the trials we face are not to prove our faith to God (since God already knows), but to prove the genuineness of that faith to ourselves. The speaker asserts that our tribulations are tools to refine our character, foster our perseverance, and strengthen our faith. By considering the trials of key figures like Jesus, Abraham, and Job, the speaker counsels us to embrace trials as an act of spiritual strengthening. The speaker closes with a heartfelt prayer, thanking God and asking for guidance and blessings for his listeners. 00:00 Introduction and Joyful Devotion 00:49 Understanding Faith and Its Tests 01:46 The Joy Set Before Jesus 03:25 Why God Allows Trials and Suffering 06:22 The Refinement of Faith Through Testing 08:11 Building Character Through Testing 08:26 Perseverance and Success in Trials 09:21 Closing Remarks and Prayer 10:13 Encouragement to Share the Message --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnbc/message
In this sermon, the speaker encourages listeners to staunchly keep faith in God during trying times. The speaker elaborates on the notion that every challenge or hardship one faces is simply for a season and contains an underlying reason from God. References from the Bible - such as from Corinthians, Ecclesiastes, and Romans - are used to explain the idea that challenges test and thereby strengthen faith, and they are also a part of God's grand plan. The sermon concludes with a prayer in gratitude towards God and an urge for the listeners to share the message of maintaining faith during difficult times. 00:00 Introduction and Praise 00:58 The Importance of Faith 01:39 Faith Tested for a Season 03:44 The Power of Perseverance 05:27 The Reason Behind Suffering and Trials 06:31 God's Plan and Purpose 08:34 The Role of Jesus in Our Faith 09:11 Closing Prayer and Encouragement --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnbc/message

Do you consider it pure JOY when you face trials, big or small? It's HARD. But James has a few encouraging things to say about how we do this! In this week's message we read through the first 8 verses of chapter 1 to learn that God's intention is to give us pure JOY all the time..to the brim..overflowing!
Being in seasons of suffering or hardships can really test our faith and makes it easy to forget the truths about who God is and what He wants to do for us. In this episode, Andrea and Lizz walk through hardships they have been experiencing and share some thoughts on how to keep your eyes on Christ. In this Advent season, they hope you will reflect on the places of your heart where you have experienced or are experiencing suffering and let the Lord draw you more intimately to Himself through kindness, continuing to show up, and looking for the ways He is constantly pursuing your heart.
