What if financial success isn't the destination, but simply the foundation for something greater?We spend a great deal of time thinking about how to earn, save, invest, and manage money wisely. Those things matter. Faithful stewardship requires care and wisdom with what God has entrusted to us.But what happens when you've done many of those things well and still find yourself wondering, Is there something more?Scott Highmark, President and Co-Founder of Mosaic Wealth, a Certified Kingdom Advisor®, and author of The Significance Pyramid: Climb Beyond Success to Find Lasting Significance, believes there is.His “Significance Pyramid” offers a framework for moving beyond financial success toward a life increasingly shaped by purpose, generosity, service, and ultimately surrender to Christ.Why Success Alone Can't SatisfyOur culture often encourages us to keep moving “up and to the right”—more income, more achievement, more possessions, more recognition.There's nothing inherently wrong with achievement. The problem comes when we expect it to satisfy desires it was never designed to fulfill.Highmark points out that even people who reach the top of their professions often discover that the fulfillment they expected doesn't last. Accomplishment may bring genuine satisfaction for a season, but our appetites continually reach for something more.Ultimately, the human heart's deepest longing cannot be satisfied by another financial milestone or professional achievement. We were created for God Himself.That conviction is at the heart of the Significance Pyramid. Every life points somewhere. The question is whether ours ultimately points toward ourselves or toward something greater.Stewardship: Building the FoundationThe pyramid's first level is stewardship.Stewardship involves wisely managing all God has entrusted to us—not simply our money, but our time, abilities, opportunities, and relationships.Financially, that means understanding what we have, knowing where it is going, and learning to live within our means. Practices such as budgeting can sometimes feel restrictive, but healthy financial boundaries can actually create freedom. When our finances are in order, we can spend and give more intentionally instead of constantly reacting to financial pressure.But stewardship is only the foundation. Once money consumes less of our attention, we can begin asking deeper questions about what our resources are actually for.As Highmark puts it, money can help fund our purpose, but it cannot help us find our purpose.Symmetry: Bringing Our Lives Into AlignmentThe second level is symmetry, or alignment.Most of us can quickly name what matters most to us: faith, family, marriage, generosity, service, relationships. But would someone looking at our calendars and financial statements reach the same conclusion?Symmetry means aligning the way we actually live with the things we say we value.James 1 describes a person who looks at himself in a mirror, walks away, and immediately forgets what he looks like. In a similar way, we can profess certain priorities while organizing our lives around completely different ones.Highmark tells the story of a successful executive who traveled more than 150 days a year. His children were nearing adulthood, his mother was aging, and financially, he no longer needed to continue working at the same pace. Yet striving had become such a normal part of his life that he had never seriously considered another way.One simple question changed his perspective: Why are you still working like this?Eventually, he stepped away from that role. In doing so, he gained more time with his children and his mother and began serving through ministry.Sometimes faithful stewardship requires more than accumulating enough. It requires asking whether the life we are living actually reflects what we say matters most.Purpose: Using What God Has Given YouThe third level of the pyramid is what Highmark calls self-satisfaction. The name can sound self-focused, but the idea is really about discovering meaningful work and using our unique gifts well. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”God has made each of us with different abilities, experiences, relationships, and opportunities. Faithful stewardship includes learning to use those things in service to Him.Highmark draws on an insight from Henry Blackaby: Rather than beginning with the question, What is God's will for my life? we should begin with, What is God's will? Then we ask whether we are willing to adjust our lives to participate faithfully in what He is doing.That changes the focus. Purpose is no longer primarily about finding the career or activity that makes us feel fulfilled. It becomes a matter of offering our lives to God and faithfully using what He has entrusted to us.And even personal fulfillment isn't the top of the pyramid. If our purpose ends with ourselves, it still falls short.Significance: Turning OutwardThe fourth level is significance.Here, the focus shifts from inward to outward. Instead of asking, What will make me happy? we begin asking, How can I use what God has entrusted to me for someone else's good?That may require sacrifice. We may willingly choose to have less so someone else can have what they need. We may surrender time, comfort, opportunity, or resources for another person's good.Jesus Himself models this kind of life. Philippians 2 describes Christ as taking “the form of a servant.” Rather than using His position for His own advantage, Jesus humbled Himself and served.Significance, then, isn't simply about accomplishing something impressive or leaving behind a recognizable legacy. It is about loving and serving others faithfully—even when doing so costs us something.That can show up in countless ways: generosity, hospitality, mentoring, caring for family, serving through the local church, investing in younger generations, or simply making ourselves available to people God has placed around us.Surrender: The Ultimate DestinationEven significance isn't the final destination. At the top of Highmark's framework is surrender.A person can live generously, serve others, and pursue meaningful work and still remain at the center of their own life. Biblical surrender goes further. It means offering our whole lives to Christ.Our money belongs to Him. Our careers belong to Him. Our families, abilities, ambitions, plans, and futures belong to Him. That doesn't mean financial planning or professional success is unimportant. It means those things find their proper place beneath the lordship of Christ.Success asks, How much can I accomplish? Significance asks, How can what I have been given serve others? Surrender asks an even deeper question: Lord, how would You have me faithfully use everything You have entrusted to me?Financial success can be good. Wise stewardship can create margin, opportunity, and freedom. But success was never meant to become our ultimate destination. The goal is faithfulness—a life in which everything God has entrusted to us increasingly points beyond ourselves and toward Him.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are entering retirement and use a credit card for groceries, paying it off monthly to earn travel rewards.

Today we come to the final verses of 1 Thessalonians. We havetraveled together through this wonderful letter and seen Paul's love for theseyoung believers, their faith in the midst of persecution, their hope inChrist's return, and Paul's repeated challenge for them to continue growing inholiness and love. Now Paul closes with a beautiful prayer and a wonderfulpromise. Verse 23 says: “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify youcompletely.” Notice who does the sanctifying. “The God of peaceHimself.” Throughoutthis letter Paul has repeatedly called believers to holiness. But now hereminds us that spiritual growth is ultimately a work God does in us. Wecertainly have responsibilities. We obey. We surrender. We read His Word. Wepray. We turn away from sin. But it is God who is working within us to make uslike Jesus. Paul continues: “And may your whole spirit, soul, and body bepreserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Paul'sconcern is for the whole person. God is interested in every part of ourlives. Our inner spiritual life. Our minds and emotions. And even what we dowith our bodies. There is no part of us that should be excluded from God'ssanctifying work. Thenverse 24 gives us one of the great promises of Scripture: “He who callsyou is faithful, who also will do it.” What a wonderful statement. Godis faithful. Our faithfulness may sometimes fail. Our strength may fail. Ouremotions rise and fall. But God never changes. Paul does not say: “He whocalled you is faithful, so you had better somehow finish the work yourself.” Hesays: “Who also will do it.” Philippians 1:6 says the same thing:“He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day ofJesus Christ.” God finishes what He starts. The same God who saved youis working in you today. And He will continue that work until one day you standcomplete in the presence of Jesus. That doesn't make us passive. It makes ushopeful. When we become discouraged with our spiritual progress, we canremember: God isn't finished with me yet. ThenPaul says simply in verse 25: “Brethren, pray for us.” I lovethat. Here is the great apostle Paul asking ordinary believers: “Pray forus.” If Paul needed prayer, surely we need prayer. Never underestimatethe ministry of praying for other people. Pray for pastors. Missionaries. Churchleaders. Family members. Friends. Those carrying the gospel around the world. ThenPaul says: “Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.” In theirculture this was an appropriate expression of warm Christian affection. Thespecific cultural expression may differ today, but the principle remains: God'speople should genuinely love and warmly receive one another. Paul then commandsthat this letter be read “to all the holy brethren.” Why? Because this wasn't merely a privatenote for a few church leaders. Paul wanted everyone to hear the Word ofGod. The letter ends exactly where the Christian life begins and continues:Grace. Verse 28 says: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be withyou. Amen.” Grace saved us. Grace keeps us. Grace teaches us. Gracestrengthens us. And grace will bring us safely home. What a wonderful way tofinish this letter. When we look back over 1 Thessalonians, we have seenseveral great themes. A work of faith. A labor of love. A patienceof hope. Standing fast in persecution. Growing in holiness. Loving oneanother. And living every day in expectation of Jesus Christ's return. Butultimately, none of that is possible apart from God's grace. Andso perhaps the verse we should carry with us as we finish this letter is verse24: “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” Myfriend, whatever God has called you to today, you can trust Him. He isfaithful. Whatever trial you are facing— He is faithful. Whatever burdenyou are carrying— He is faithful. Whatever weakness you are strugglingwith— He is faithful. And whatever work He has begun in your life—Hewill complete it.

“There was not a needy person among them.”That remarkable statement in Acts 4:34 describes the early church's generosity. The first Christians freely shared what God had entrusted to them so their community's needs were met.Their example can sound almost foreign in a culture that prizes independence and personal ownership. But according to Dr. Darrell Bock, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS), the generosity we see in Acts reflects something much deeper than a particular financial system. It reveals what happens when people begin to see themselves, their possessions, and one another differently because of the gospel.So what can the early church teach us about generosity today?Hold What You Have With Open HandsMoney and possessions receive considerable attention throughout the Gospel of Luke, and Dr. Bock summarizes Luke's perspective with a simple image: believers should hold what they own with loose hands.The reason is stewardship. What we possess ultimately comes from God. We are not owners in the absolute sense but stewards responsible for faithfully managing what He provides.That changes the question from, “What can I do with my money?” to, “How can I use what God has entrusted to me to serve Him and others?”Open-handed stewardship does not mean possessions are inherently wrong. It means we refuse to grip them so tightly that they become unavailable when God gives us an opportunity to help someone else.Generosity Flows From Spiritual TransformationActs places the extraordinary generosity of the early believers immediately after Pentecost and the Holy Spirit's coming.That placement matters. Dr. Bock describes spiritual transformation as redirecting the focus of our lives. Instead of everything pointing inward toward ourselves and our own agendas, our attention begins moving upward toward God and outward toward others.That transformation inevitably affects how we think about possessions.We no longer view our resources merely as tools for our own comfort or even solely for the benefit of our immediate families. We begin recognizing that God may also use what He has entrusted to us to care for the people He places around us.The early Christians understood themselves as an extended family—brothers and sisters united in Christ. When needs arose within that family, those who could responded.Their generosity was not simply a financial practice. It was evidence of changed hearts.Generosity Was Voluntary, Not ForcedActs 2 and 4 have sometimes raised the question of whether the early church abandoned private ownership altogether. Acts 5 helps clarify the issue.When Ananias and Sapphira sold property but misrepresented what they had given, Peter made clear that the property had remained theirs and that they had authority over the proceeds. Their sin was not keeping some of the money. Their sin was dishonesty.That tells us something important about the early church's generosity: it was voluntary.Believers were not compelled to surrender everything they owned. They chose to give because their hearts had been transformed.That voluntary nature actually makes their generosity more remarkable. No one had to force them to care for one another. Their willingness reflected their character.Wise Generosity Is Sustainable GenerosityThe language Luke uses also suggests that believers were not necessarily liquidating all their possessions at once. Rather, they sold possessions as needs arose.That implies discernment. Dr. Bock points to the contrast between Jesus' encounter with the rich ruler and His encounter with Zacchaeus. Jesus instructed the rich ruler to sell everything, while Zacchaeus announced that he would give away half of his possessions and was commended for his response.The lesson is not that every Christian must dispose of everything he or she owns. The larger principle is that our possessions should remain available to God.Generosity should also be practiced wisely. Giving everything away immediately could leave someone unable to meet his own responsibilities and eventually dependent upon others. Faithful stewardship asks us to manage what God provides in a way that sustains generosity.The goal is not reckless giving. It is a heart consistently ready to respond.Christian Generosity Grows From Christian CommunityActs 4 says the believers were “one in heart and soul” before describing how they shared their possessions.That connection is significant. Generosity becomes more natural when we genuinely view other believers as family.Christians sometimes call one another “brother” or “sister,” but the early church lived as though those words were actually true. They knew one another closely enough to recognize needs and cared enough to respond when those needs arose.That same connection appears elsewhere in Luke's writings. When John the Baptist called people to produce fruit consistent with repentance, he gave an intensely practical example: If someone has clothing and another person is without it, the person who has enough should share.Love for God and love for neighbor belong together. That is the same connection Jesus makes in the Great Commandment. A transformed relationship with God should eventually become visible in how we treat the people around us.Meeting Needs Does Not Mean Everyone Has the Same AmountActs 4:34 says there was “not a needy person among them.”That does not necessarily mean every Christian possessed exactly the same amount. The focus was on meeting genuine needs.1 Timothy 6 says that if we have food and clothing, we should be content with these things. Dr. Bock suggests this provides a helpful lens for understanding Acts: the church made sure people had the necessities of life.The goal was not financial uniformity. It was to ensure brothers and sisters in Christ would not be left without basic provision while others in the community could help.That distinction matters. Biblical generosity is not primarily about making everyone's financial circumstances identical. It is about refusing to ignore genuine needs when God has given us the resources to respond.Barnabas and the Importance of Our MotivesActs places two dramatically different examples side by side.Barnabas sells property and gives the proceeds to help others. Immediately afterward, Ananias and Sapphira attempt to appear more generous than they actually are.The contrast exposes a serious danger: generosity can become something we perform for others' approval. Barnabas is presented positively because his generosity is genuine. Ananias and Sapphira seek the appearance of sacrificial generosity without the reality behind it.The issue is ultimately one of the heart. Biblical generosity is not about appearing generous. It is about honestly surrendering what God has entrusted to us and responding faithfully when opportunities arise.“Descriptive” Does Not Mean IrrelevantActs describes what the early Christians did rather than issuing a direct command that every Christian must sell property.But we should be careful not to use the distinction between descriptive and prescriptive passages as an excuse to avoid the challenge of the text.Biblical narratives frequently present examples intended to shape us. Barnabas is praised. The early church's generosity is celebrated. Their lives point us toward the kind of people Christians should desire to become.The question, then, should not be, “How can I prove that I don't have to do what they did?” A better question is, “What does their example reveal about the kind of heart God desires to form in me?”Acts does not give us a formula for how much property to sell or what percentage of our income to give. It gives us a picture of a community whose relationship with money had been transformed by its relationship with Christ.What Could This Look Like Today?Church benevolence funds can certainly help meet needs, but the generosity pictured in Acts is even more relational.It requires believers to know one another. We should know the people God has placed around us well enough to recognize when someone is struggling. And when we discover a need, helping that person does not always require a formal church program.Sometimes generosity is simply noticing. It may mean providing something someone lacks, helping a family through a difficult season, or using resources God has given us to ease another person's burden.Jesus tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Most of us devote considerable attention to our own well-being. Christian generosity asks us to become increasingly attentive to others' well-being, too.A Question Worth AskingThe early church's generosity flowed from a deeper reality: these believers were united in Christ.They held their possessions loosely because their ultimate treasure was found elsewhere. Their resources became tools for loving others rather than merely serving themselves.Their example leaves us with a valuable question: Given the resources God has entrusted to me, how might I use them to bless someone else?We do not need identical bank accounts, nor are we commanded to sell everything we possess. But followers of Jesus are called to become generous people—people whose hearts have been transformed by the gospel, who see fellow believers as family, and who hold everything God provides with open hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm in my 70s and setting up a trust that will eventually divide my estate equally between my two daughters.

Bearing Christ: St. Ignatius, Modern Martyrs, and the Call to Faithful Witness Release Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2026What does it mean to carry God with you into the ordinary, daily moments of your life?In this episode, we explore a moving reflection from Cardinal John Henry Newman's Parochial and Plain Sermonsdetailing the story of St. Ignatius of Antioch. When brought before Emperor Trajan, Ignatius referred to himself as Theophorus ("God-bearer"). He boldly proclaimed that there is only one Creator, that Jesus Christ conquered evil on the cross, and that he carried the living Lord in his very heart.Together, we connect Ignatius's ancient stand to modern-day witnesses like Pastor Wang Yi in China, showing that the chain of faithful witness remains unbroken. We unpack Paul's words in Galatians 2:20 and Colossians 1:27 ("Christ in you, the hope of glory"), discovering how Newman's takeaway applies directly to us today. To close our study, we pray an adapted prayer originally written by Scottish reformer John Knox—found during a daily devotional time—asking God to raise up faithful messengers of His truth.Key Takeaways:The Meaning of Theophorus: How carrying Christ in our hearts defines the identity of every believer.An Unbroken Lineage: Tracing the witness of faith from St. Peter and St. Ignatius down to Pastor Wang Yi today.Christ in You: How Galatians 2:20 and Colossians 1:27 ground our daily lives in the living presence of Jesus.A Historic Closing Prayer: Praying an adaptation of John Knox's 16th-century prayer for faithful evangelists and messengers.Scriptures & Texts Referenced:Galatians 2:20 (Anchor Reading)Colossians 1:27Romans 8:37–391 Peter 3:15Parochial and Plain Sermons by John Henry NewmanAdapted 16th-century prayer by John KnoxReflection Questions for Your Week:Where in your daily routine do you need to remind yourself that you carry Christ (Theophorus)—the hope of glory—within your heart?How does seeing Ignatius before an emperor—or Pastor Wang Yi in prison today—give you courage when you feel isolated in your faith journey?Where in your daily walk might you be tempted to stay silent, rather than bearing gentle witness to the hope within you?How can your words and actions this week glorify God by reflecting Christ's passion, death, and resurrection to someone around you?Share the WordIf this episode encouraged you, please consider sharing it with a friend and leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

What are we looking for to make the Christian life worth it for us? If we would just believe God's Word and live in response to it rather than focus on the afflictions of this world, we would see the goodness and joy that comes from His Gospel, now and into eternity. In this episode, Associate Pastor Josh talks about the fulfillment that comes from faithfulness from 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12.Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa

Daniel was HumbleYou Can Stand for What Is Right Without Being Disrespectful to The Person in Authority… There Is a Difference Between Conviction and Pride 2. Daniel Was Honest 3. Daniel Remained TrueDaniel 6:1-5 (NLT)“Darius the Mede decided to divide the kingdom into 120 provinces, and he appointed a high officer to rule over each province. The king also chose Daniel and two others as administrators to supervise the high officers and protect the king's interests. Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and high officers. Because of Daniel's great ability, the king made plans to place him over the entire empire. Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn't find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy. So, they concluded, ‘Our only chance of finding grounds for accusing Daniel will be in connection with the laws of his God.'"

May the God of Wonders Bless You!
As Paul begins the closing section of 1 Thessalonians, hegives a number of short, practical instructions about relationships within thechurch. Today we begin with verses 12 and 13: “And we urge you, brethren, torecognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonishyou, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peaceamong yourselves.” Paul begins by talking about spiritual leaders. Hedescribes them in three ways. First,they “labor among you.” Ministry is work. The word Paul uses carries theidea of working to the point of weariness. Faithful ministry requirespreparation. Prayer. Teaching. Counseling. Visiting. Encouraging. Correcting. Caringfor people in times of sickness, grief, family difficulty, and spiritual need. Muchof that ministry happens where nobody else sees it. Then Paul says theseleaders are “over you in the Lord.” That speaks of spiritual leadershipand responsibility. A pastor is not called to dominate people. Jesus said thatleadership among His followers should not imitate the authoritarian leadershipof the world. A pastor is a shepherd. He leads. He protects. He feeds the flockwith God's Word. And he understands that ultimately the church belongs to JesusChrist. ThenPaul says they “admonish you.” Sometimes spiritual leadership requiressaying things people may not necessarily want to hear. The word admonishincludes warning, instructing, and correcting. A faithful pastor cannot simplytell people what makes them comfortable. Paul told Timothy to: “Preach theword!” And then he added: “Convince, rebuke, exhort, with alllongsuffering and teaching.” So how should believers respond to faithfulspiritual leadership? Paul says: “Recognize” them. That means appreciatethem and understand the responsibility they carry. Thenverse 13 says: “Esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.” NoticePaul doesn't say esteem them because they are celebrities. Or because they haveimpressive personalities. Or because they preach in large churches. He saysesteem them: “For their work's sake.” The honor is connected to the workGod has called them to do. I have had the privilege of serving in pastoralministry for many years, and I can tell you that one of the greatestencouragements a pastor can receive is simply knowing that his peopleappreciate him, pray for him, and support the work of the ministry. Hebrews13:17 reminds us that spiritual leaders “watch out for your souls, as thosewho must give account.” That is an enormous responsibility. Pastors willanswer to God for how they shepherd His people. That ought to make us pray forthem. Your pastor needs prayer. He faces temptations. He experiencesdiscouragement. He carries burdens that he often cannot share publicly. Hefeels deeply the hurts and struggles of the people he serves. And sometimes asimple word— “Pastor, I'm praying for you.”—can mean more than you realize. Butnotice how Paul ends verse 13: “Be at peace among yourselves.” Thattells us something else about healthy churches. They should be places of peace.Churches are made up of imperfect people. That means disagreements will happen.People will have different opinions. Different personalities. Differentpreferences. But our unity in Jesus Christ should be greater than ourdifferences. Jesus said: “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Paul wrote inRomans: “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably withall men.” What would happen if every member of every church determined: “Iwill not be a source of unnecessary conflict.” “I will pray for my leaders.” “Iwill encourage them.” “I will support the work of the gospel.” “And I will doeverything I can to promote peace among God's people.” That would make atremendous difference. Sotoday perhaps we can do two simple things. First, pray for your pastor andspiritual leaders. And second, ask: “Am I helping create peace in my churchfamily?”

With questions straight from fans, the spotlight is on what makes these new contestants tick and how their pasts shape their strategies. This episode brings together sharp perspectives from two very different players. Elan Bibas shares insights from his Love Island background, emphasizing quick decision-making and a love of deception-filled game nights. He talks about leveraging his dual identity—reality TV star and computer engineering consultant—to disarm fellow players. In contrast, Aisha leans into authenticity, drawing on her advocacy work and experience in high-pressure environments to build trust and observe keenly. The two castaways reflect on their aspirations: Elan eyes the allure of being a Traitor, relishing the challenge, while Aisha prefers the Faithful path, unsure she could lie for long. Along the way, both reveal their past viewing habits, favorite players, and game skills they believe will give them an edge. Pooya, Elan, and Aisha dive into: Elan's plan to use his unexpected background as a strategic weapon and his desire to take on the trickiest role in the game Aisha's emphasis on communication, picking up micro-details, and her diplomatic experience standing out in high-stakes discussions The contrasting draws of playing as a Faithful versus a Traitor, and how personal honesty fits into the gameplay Fond memories and favorites from past Traitors seasons, with Aisha's admiration for “Hollywood” and his authentic style The anticipation of breakfast rituals, roundtable debates, and the tense moments when each player discovers who's survived the night As alliances form and secret plans take shape, what edge will Elan's blend of charm and calculation give him—and will Aisha's authenticity and strategic thinking steer her team to victory?

Marco Bovino • 1 Thessalonians 5:23–5:28 • GraceLife
Watch Prepared For An Age of Chaos Part 2 to understand the biblical response to false teachers and how to guard your local church. When worldly compromise invades the visible church, Christians must exercise strict spiritual discernment. Pastor Richard Caldwell preaches from 2 Timothy 3 to explain why faithful congregations cannot tolerate a form of godliness that lacks true power. Counterfeit Christianity is highly dangerous because it actively preys on the spiritually vulnerable and undiscerning. False teachers worm their way into congregations to lead people astray, being driven by depraved minds that permanently oppose God's truth. A faithful church must practice intentional separation and biblical discipline to protect the flock from these corrupting influences. Despite the very real threats posed by these charlatans, true believers can stand firm with absolute confidence. God will inevitably expose those who rebel against His clear message. Key Biblical Takeaways Faithfulness requires separation: Christians are commanded to intentionally avoid those who profess faith but live in unrepentant rebellion against God's Word. Compromise is not compassion: Tolerating false teaching and open sin within the congregation destroys souls and deeply distorts biblical love. Predators target the undiscerning: False teachers deliberately exploit those who are driven by emotional impulses rather than grounded in the stability of Scripture. God guarantees ultimate victory: Faithful shepherds must face opposition with godly confidence because the Lord will permanently expose all counterfeits.

“My word . . . will not return to me empty, but will . . . achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” — Isaiah 55:11 On this day of worship let's return to the words of Isaiah 55 and reflect on the power of the preached Word of God.Human communication is often filled with mistakes and misunderstandings. We are imperfect people who communicate in many imperfect ways. Sometimes the results can be hurtful, and sometimes the results can be humorous.I once suffered a sports injury and was unable to preach in my church on the following Sunday. Before the worship service, an elder explained to the congregation that I had been “hit with a ball in the eye.” I found out later that one of the young people at church had misunderstood him and thought I had been “hit with a ball and died.” She was shocked. She also thought that the congregation didn't show much concern over my sudden demise.One of the traditional marks of the church is the preaching of the Word of God. This week let's focus on what it means for the gospel to ring out to the world. Faithful preaching is a vital piece of that task. In Isaiah 55, God reminds us that his communication is always effective. It will accomplish what God desires and achieve the purpose for which he sent it.This is profoundly reassuring. As we gather today for worship, let's pray that God's Word will be spoken clearly, with love, power, and grace. Holy God, may your Word be preached faithfully in your church around the world today. And may your Word achieve the purpose for which you have sent it in our lives. Amen.

Although Abraham lived more than 4,000 years ago, his story bears many similarities to our own. Like us, he carried a past, held hopes and dreams, navigated complex relationships, and faced an uncertain future. As we follow his journey, we discover that his story is also our story. It is the human story. Yet Abraham's life is also part of a much bigger story, the story of God's faithful pursuit of humanity. We are part of that same story.
1. The Faithful Steward 2. The Righteousness He Manifests 3. The Unmerited Reward He Receives.
Our text today is 1 Peter 4:17-19: For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And "If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good. — 1 Peter 4:17-19 Some verses sound frightening until you read them in context. Peter writes, "It is time for judgment to begin at the household of God." That statement can make sincere believers wonder whether they are still under condemnation, whether suffering means God is angry with them, or whether salvation is less secure than they thought. But Peter is not telling Christians that Christ's sacrifice was insufficient or that God is preparing to condemn His children. Scripture is clear that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). So what does Peter mean? Throughout this chapter, he has been describing the fiery trials believers were facing because they belonged to Christ. Now he explains that God can use those trials as part of His refining work among His people. This judgment is not the punishment of a criminal before an angry judge. It is the searching discipline of a Father committed to the holiness of His children. Earlier, Peter described believers as "living stones" being built into a spiritual house (1 Peter 2:5). Now he says judgment begins with that house. God begins with those who bear His name, not because He has rejected them, but because they belong to Him. That should humble the church. Before we demand that God judge everything wrong in the world around us, we should invite Him to purify what is wrong within us. God's concern for holiness begins with His own people. This does not mean every hardship is punishment for a specific sin. Peter has been speaking about believers who suffer for doing good and for bearing the name of Christ. Yet even undeserved suffering can expose misplaced trust, deepen endurance, and conform us more fully to Jesus. The fire of refinement is not the fire of condemnation. Peter then quotes Proverbs: "If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" The word scarcely does not mean Christians are almost lost or that Jesus barely manages to save them. It means God brings His people safely home through difficulty. The road may involve testing, discipline, opposition, and costly perseverance, but the outcome rests securely in God's hands. Saved with difficulty does not mean saved uncertainly. Peter's warning also carries urgency. If God takes holiness this seriously among His own people, what will become of those who continually reject the gospel? That question should not make us proud. It should make us humble, grateful, and eager to point others toward Christ. Peter ends the chapter with a simple command: "Let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good." That word entrust echoes the example of Jesus. Earlier, Peter wrote that when Christ suffered unjustly, He entrusted Himself to the One who judges justly (1 Peter 2:23). Now believers are called to do the same. Place your soul in God's hands. Then keep doing good. Peter calls God the "faithful Creator." Creator means He made you, knows you, and holds power over every part of your story. Faithful means His character does not change. He will not abandon what He has claimed as His own. You may not understand why God has allowed this season. You may not yet see what the refining fire is producing. But suffering does not mean you have been condemned, forgotten, or abandoned. The Creator who made your soul is faithful to keep it. So entrust to Him what you cannot control. Continue doing the good you already know to do. And when you cannot trace God's hand, trust God's character. The faithful Creator is still holding you. DO THIS: Name one burden, fear, or unresolved situation you have been trying to control. Open your hands as you pray and deliberately entrust it to your faithful Creator. Then choose one good and obedient action you can take today. ASK THIS: Have I been interpreting hardship as condemnation rather than refinement? What might God be exposing, strengthening, or purifying in me through this season? What good is God calling me to continue doing while I trust Him with the outcome? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You that there is no condemnation for me in Christ. Use every trial to refine my faith, correct what needs to change, and make me more like Jesus. When I cannot understand what You are doing, help me trust who You are. I entrust my soul, my circumstances, and my future to You, my faithful Creator. Give me strength to continue doing good. Amen. PLAY THIS: "He Will Hold Me Fast."

Traitors Canada Season 4 Van Goth + Keturah Preseason Interviews Watch the podcast on YouTube! The pre-season cast interview series for The Traitors Canada Season 4 kicks off as Pooya sits down with new contestants Van Goth, winner of Canada's Drag Race Season 6, and Keturah. This episode offers a sneak peek into the minds of these players as they get ready to enter the Manor, revealing their expectations and approach before game day arrives. Van Goth shares a “lethal” strategy fueled by a love for mayhem, saying that being a Traitor sounds far more exciting than playing Faithful. Drawing on their experience handling big personalities from Drag Race, Van Goth expects to use social skills and quick wit—plus a secret hope that the competition won't be too tough. They name Neda and Venus as their favorite past Traitors contestants, with a clear preference for the UK edition's excitement over the US or Canadian versions. Van Goth is also keen to stand out as the only drag queen in the Manor and wary of competing against legendary Big Brother players. Keturah describes herself as “strategic” and embraces the thrill of deception, eager to test how well she can lie and adapt to different personalities. A superfan with a keen eye on international editions, Keturah took notes watching Ireland's Traitors and highlights Rachel from the UK cast as her standout favorite. She looks forward to the twists and missions unique to The Traitors, hopeful her social and strategic skills will shine. Key moments and strategies: Van Goth aims for a cast of less threatening players to maximize win chances Both contestants rate playing as a Traitor as more appealing than being a Faithful Keturah claims strong adaptability and “good liar” skills as her biggest game assets Playful banter on who each hopes—and hopes not—to see in the Manor Personal favorites and franchise editions discussed, giving insight into game preparation How will Van Goth's bold presence and Keturah's strategic adaptability play out in the pressure cooker of the Manor?

Keep Moving – Faithfulness Continues When Feelings Change | MOVE: Faith Takes Action (2)What do you do when your feelings change, the circumstances get difficult, and the excitement of your first step begins to fade?You keep moving.In this powerful second message from the MOVE: Faith Takes Action series, we are reminded that faith takes the first step, but faithfulness keeps taking steps. God is not only interested in moments of faith, He wants to develop lives marked by consistent obedience.Faithfulness is choosing to keep moving even when you don't feel like it.In This Message:1. Consistency Builds What Crisis RevealsDaniel didn't suddenly become faithful when his crisis came. His faithfulness had already been built through consistent prayer. When pressure came, he continued doing what he had always done.2. Small Obedience Is Still Significant ObedienceGod sees faithfulness in the little things. What may seem insignificant to us is never insignificant to God. Our daily obedience, stewardship, service, prayer, and persistence are building something that matters.3. Don't Let Your Feelings Determine Your FaithfulnessJesus Himself experienced anguish in the garden, yet He prayed, “Not My will, but Yours be done.” Feelings may change, but God's purpose remains. Faithfulness means choosing obedience even when our emotions don't cooperate.4. Don't Quit Before the HarvestGalatians 6:9 reminds us not to grow weary in doing good. There is a harvest connected to our perseverance. What God is developing may take time, but slow progress is not the same as no progress.This Week's ChallengeLast week, the challenge was:Take one step.This week:Repeat the right step.Choose one God-led habit and practice it consistently.Maybe it's:• Prayer• Reading the Word• Renewing your mind• Guarding your words• Responding instead of reacting• Faithful financial stewardship• Serving where God has planted youDon't try to change twenty things at once. Choose one and stay faithful.Remember Daniel:“As he had done previously.”Your feelings may change. Your circumstances may change. The season may change.But God remains faithful.So—Take the step.Build the habit.Stay faithful.Don't quit.KEEP MOVING.

Episode SummarySuccess is not found in a platform, a ministry title, or a number on a dashboard. In this episode, Bobby Bosler opens John 1 and Galatians 6 to show that Christ's simple call—Follow Me—defines a life of true success, whether it leads to a visible ministry or quiet faithfulness. Let go of the vision you have built for yourself and follow Jesus wherever He leads.Topics DiscussedChrist's call to follow Him in John 1Releasing self-defined success, platforms, and performance metricsThe Flourish Series playlist and the ongoing study through GalatiansFaithfulness in visible ministry and in the hidden placesKey TakeawaysThe greatest success is to follow Jesus wherever He leads.God's call may look different from the life we picture for ourselves.Faithful obedience matters more than recognition, scale, or results.

When money is tight, the financial goals you want to pursue can feel frustratingly out of reach. You may want to give more generously, build your savings, or pay down debt, but there simply doesn't seem to be enough margin to do everything.The good news is that financial progress doesn't always begin with a giant leap. Sometimes, faithfulness looks like taking one small step at a time.Brian Holtz, CEO of Compass Financial Ministry, says that whether financial pressure comes from past choices or circumstances outside our control, creating that first bit of margin is often the hardest part. But a few practical steps can begin building momentum.1. Start With PrayerThe first step may not sound tactical, but it is foundational: invite God into your financial decisions.James 1:5 tells us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask God, who gives generously to those who ask. When you feel financially stuck, tell the Lord that you want to honor Him with what He has entrusted to you and ask Him to show you the next faithful step.The answer may not come as unexpected money. More often, God may provide fresh insight, reveal new options, or bring wise people into your life who can help you see your situation differently.Before changing the numbers, begin by seeking the One who gives wisdom.2. Think Smaller—but LongerWhen margins are slim, quick financial wins may be harder to come by. But that doesn't mean progress is impossible.Perhaps you want to give 10% of your income but simply aren't in a position to do that right now. Instead of giving up on generosity altogether, you might begin with 1% or even less and prayerfully work your way up over time.The same principle applies to saving. If all you can set aside is $5 or $10 a week, start there. Small amounts may not seem significant, but consistency matters.Jesus praised the widow who gave two small coins in Mark 12:41–44. The monetary value was tiny, but her gift revealed something much greater about her heart.Faithful stewardship isn't measured only by the size of the step. Sometimes the important thing is simply keeping moving in the right direction.3. Use Windfalls to Create MarginOccasional extra money can become a powerful tool when used strategically.A tax refund, bonus, rebate, gift, or an occasional month with an extra paycheck can help reduce expenses that normally consume your monthly cash flow.Instead of spending that money automatically, consider using it to eliminate a small recurring payment. Perhaps you can pay off a phone, clear a small department-store credit card balance, or eliminate another modest bill.That may free only $10, $20, or $50 each month—but now that money can be redirected toward your next priority.It's similar to a miniature debt snowball. One small victory creates margin, and that margin fuels the next step.When money is tight, momentum matters.4. Shop With a StrategyAnother way to create breathing room is to become more intentional about everyday spending.Start by prioritizing essential expenses such as housing, utilities, food, transportation, and other obligations. Then evaluate optional expenses.That may mean pausing a streaming subscription during a difficult month or postponing a purchase you would otherwise enjoy. Needs should generally come before wants.You can also make your grocery dollars work harder by purchasing staples when they are discounted. If chicken is half-price and you know your family will use it, buying an extra package may reduce future grocery costs. The key is buying strategically rather than simply buying more because something is on sale.Small decisions like these can gradually create room in a tight budget.Don't Despise Small BeginningsWhen finances are strained, it's easy to become discouraged because you can't immediately accomplish everything you want to do.But stewardship is not about achieving financial perfection overnight. It is about faithfully managing what God has placed in your hands today.Pray for wisdom. Start smaller if necessary. Use unexpected income strategically. Choose needs before wants. Then allow each wise decision to create a little more margin for the next one.As Zechariah 4:10 reminds us, we should not despise small beginnings.You may not be able to change your entire financial situation today. But you can take one faithful step—and then another.Compass also offers a video study called Making Ends Meet, designed to help individuals and families find that first bit of financial margin and begin their financial discipleship journey one step at a time.You can learn more and find additional biblical stewardship resources at CompassFinancialMinistry.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband has been in a nursing home for four years and is on Medicaid. I've been told that once I retire, if my income exceeds about $4,000 a month, I may have to contribute more toward his care. Is that true? And could using some of my 401(k) to pay down our mortgage affect how Medicaid treats my income or assets?I keep my emergency fund in savings, but the interest is low, and CDs limit access. Would a money market mutual fund be a good place to keep emergency savings?I'm receiving Social Security survivor benefits from my late husband. If I remarry, can I continue receiving those benefits, particularly at my age?I'm 63 and have both a traditional IRA and a 401(k). Will my traditional IRA withdrawals be fully taxable in retirement, and would a Roth conversion make sense before I retire? Also, should I contribute only enough to my 401(k) to receive the 4% match and put additional retirement savings into my IRA instead?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Compass Financial MinistryMaking Ends Meet Video Study (Compass Financial Ministry)Fidelity Government Money Market Fund | Schwab Prime Advantage Money Fund | Vanguard Federal Money Market FundFaithFi Field Guide: How Much Money is Enough?

In Chapter 2 of Magnifica Humanitas, Amanda and Jonathan unpack the Catholic social teaching principles Pope Leo XIV says we need in order to navigate the digital revolution.This chapter gets more concrete about human dignity, human rights, the common good, the universal destination of goods, subsidiarity, solidarity, and social justice—and begins applying those principles to algorithms, data, digital platforms, surveillance, and artificial intelligence.In this episode:• Why human dignity does not depend on wealth, productivity, ability, or status• The two dangers Pope Leo identifies for human rights today• Why the common good requires us to look beyond our own interests• How private property and the universal destination of goods work together• What subsidiarity means when major technology companies hold enormous power• Why algorithms, platforms, patents, infrastructure, and data raise new questions about access and ownership• How solidarity changes the way we think about technology's impact on other people and future generations• Why technological progress must ultimately be judged by whether it helps people become more fully humanPope Leo's question for the digital age is bigger than whether a technology is useful or profitable: Does it truly serve the human person and the common good?

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this September 7th episode, Hunter guides us through 2 Kings 25, 2 Chronicles 36, Jeremiah 40–41, and Revelation 12. Today we stand among the ruins of Jerusalem. The city has fallen. The temple is destroyed. The walls have been torn down. The people are killed, scattered, or carried into exile. Everything that once seemed secure has collapsed. And yet Jeremiah remains. The prophet who had warned of what was coming is still there among the broken walls and shattered lives. He does not seize the moment to gain power. He remains as a faithful witness to God. Jeremiah shows us something about our own calling. When the world around us feels fractured, our task is not to join the struggle for domination. Jesus has shown us another way. The kingdom of God does not tear others down in order to rise. It enters the ruins, lifts up those who have fallen, and bears faithful witness to the love of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Their worst nightmare has come true. Everything they feared has happened. Jerusalem has fallen. The temple is destroyed. The palace is gone. The walls have been torn down. People have been killed, scattered, and carried away. They are living among the ruins. And yet Jeremiah is still there. His name carries the idea of one appointed or raised up by God. Jeremiah had been thrown into a cistern and left for dead. He had been ignored, rejected, mocked, and imprisoned. He had warned the people about where their path was leading, but they refused to listen. And now everything he warned them about has happened. Jerusalem lies in ruins. Yet Jeremiah remains. That strikes me today. Jeremiah does not remain so that he can say, "I told you so." He does not stand over the ruins congratulating himself for being right. He remains because God has appointed him to be there. He remains as a witness. And perhaps there is something here for us. We live in a world that can sometimes feel as though the walls are coming down. We see war. We see division. We see political fear and anger. We see loneliness, addiction, poverty, injustice, and violence. And sometimes we experience ruins much closer to home. A marriage falls apart. A diagnosis comes. Someone we love dies. A dream disappears. A relationship breaks. A future we imagined for ourselves suddenly seems impossible. What are we supposed to do among the ruins? The temptation is often to grab whatever power we can. That is what Ishmael son of Nethaniah does in Jeremiah's story. In the instability following Jerusalem's destruction, he reaches for power through violence. That is the way of the world. When everything feels uncertain, seize control. Protect yourself. Defeat your enemies. Make sure you come out on top. But Jesus has shown us another way. The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of this world. The world tears people down in order to lift itself up. The kingdom of God lifts up those who have been torn down. That is our calling. We are not called to conquer the ruins. We are called to remain faithfully within them. To love. To serve. To listen. To forgive. To bind wounds. To proclaim hope. To bear witness to a kingdom that cannot be destroyed. Revelation pulls back the curtain and shows us that there is a larger story unfolding. The dragon rages. The powers of accusation and violence do their worst. But they do not win. The Lamb wins. And those who belong to the Lamb overcome not by becoming dragons themselves, but through the life and self-giving love of Christ. So perhaps Jeremiah has something important to teach us today. Remain. Remain faithful. Remain loving. Remain present. When others are scrambling for power, kneel beside the wounded. When others are tearing people down, lift someone up. When fear tells you to protect yourself at all costs, remember the One who gave himself away in love. You have been appointed for such a time as this. Not necessarily to rebuild everything yourself. Not to control history. Not to win every argument. But to faithfully bear witness to Jesus right where you are. Even among the ruins. Especially among the ruins. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. 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 tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
