What characteristics make a faithful friend. By looking into Joshua 14, two examples rise to the surface in Eleazar and Caleb. Yet, one friend outshines them all. I.

There's a saying in media and communications that “the medium is the message,” meaning the way content is delivered often has more impact than the content itself. If this is true, then the fact that much of the New Testament consists of letters holds great significance. Letters represent personal connections between individuals and communities. Paul's epistles, in particular, are deeply personal, filled with specific greetings, appeals, and applications. They are messages from friends to friends, and the numerous names mentioned are not just foreign terms to us, but representations of men and women Paul loved—those with whom he shared suffering, meals, and ministry. Often, the deepest pains in the church stem from the breaking of such bonds of friendship. Paul's emphasis on unity and love within the body of Christ is rooted in this. Philippians 2:19-30 offers insight into Paul's friendships with Timothy and Epaphroditus, showing how these relationships enabled him to endure immense suffering for Christ. The need for deep, genuine friendships in the Christian life is as vital now as it was two thousand years ago. This is Understanding Philippians.

Four new adventures featuring classic Doctors encountering monsters from the new series of Doctor Who! 5.1 The Krillitane Feint by John Dorney The TARDIS brings the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe to a planet where a secure research base is conducting disturbing experiments. A group of captive Krillitane are test subjects for a military power, keen to understand the species' unique abilities. But who are the real monsters here? 5.2 The Dying Breed by Tim Foley When the Doctor, Leela and K9 land on the Lupari homeworld tracking a temporal anomaly, they find a kingdom in disarray. The Great Lord Garzan's son has been attacked, and strange beasts roam the frozen landscape. Whilst Leela spars with the new heir, the Doctor and K9 must work out how all these strange events are connected. Little do they know that their discoveries will shake the Lupari to their core... 5.3 The Krillitane Relic by John Dorney The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Ray to a space station cryogenic facility, where interplanetary VIPs are stored pending medical cures. There is a familiar face here too - someone the Doctor remembers, but who does not remember him... 5.4 Five Hundred Ways to Leave Your Lover by Tim Foley Chris is on a date. But it isn't working out. Perhaps he'll end it over dinner. Or on a cruise. Or in a lunar spa. But who are these figures in red? And why are they so invested in his relationship? All of reality might be at stake, and the Monks will pursue Chris wherever he goes - but as long as he manages to break up with his boyfriend, the Doctor, everything might be saved... **Please note: the collector's edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,250 copies and will not be repressed**  

In Luke's carefully researched Gospel, you encounter not just historical facts, but the compassionate heart of both the physician and the Christ he portrays. Luke presents Jesus as one who cares for the outcast, the sick, and the downtrodden—who notices the overlooked and touches the untouchable—revealing a Savior who heals both bodies and souls. His […]

The friends you choose shape your future—are they strengthening your faith or holding you back? This powerful message from Mark 2 reveals how faithful friendships can transform your life, deepen your faith, and help you overcome feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected from your purpose.

In this episode, Pastor Derek Holmes continues his powerful sermon series on The Transformative Holiness of Christ, diving deeper into Luke 5:17-36. Building on last week's message, we explore two more remarkable scenes from Christ’s earthly ministry—His healing of the paralyzed man brought by four faithful friends and His calling of Matthew, the tax collector, to be His disciple. Through these moments, we see the holiness of Christ on full display: His divine authority to forgive sins and His call for radical repentance and total surrender. Join us as we reflect on how Christ’s holiness not only transforms lives in Scripture but continues to change us today. Don’t miss this inspiring message!

Tender Warrior 'Tender Warrior” is a Christian book written by Stu Weber, who is known for his insights on masculinity and leadership from a biblical standpoint. In this book, Weber explores the concept of authentic manhood by portraying men as both tender caregivers and courageous warriors. He emphasizes that a true man embodies a balance of strength and sensitivity, leading with conviction while also nurturing those around him. Key Themes of the Book: Balanced Masculinity: Weber challenges the stereotypical notions of masculinity that favor either extreme toughness or excessive softness. He argues for a balanced approach where men are both strong and tender. Roles and Responsibilities: The book delves into the various roles men play—as husbands, fathers, friends, and leaders—and the responsibilities that come with each role.  Spiritual Leadership: A significant focus is on the importance of spiritual growth and leading one's family and community through a strong relationship with God.  Emotional Vulnerability: Weber encourages men to be open about their emotions, breaking down the barriers that often prevent meaningful connections with others.  Mentorship and Legacy: The idea of leaving a positive legacy through mentoring and guiding others is highlighted as a crucial aspect of authentic manhood.

How does being in a community of like-minded individuals influence your spiritual life?Happy Friday! As we approach Christmas, let's take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of the season. Stephanie Muiña warmly engages us in today's episode by delving into Isaiah 53. Here, we learn that Jesus, who walked among us, understands our pains, struggles, and victories. He experienced despise, abandonment, and great pain, yet He bore all our sicknesses and offenses. Why? So that we would never be alone.Stephanie shares her personal reflections as a young mother and devout Christian, emphasizing the importance of surrounding ourselves with like-minded communities. Just as she finds comfort and camaraderie with fellow moms, we too can find peace in knowing that Jesus is our ever-present friend who comprehends every facet of our lives.So, let's embrace this beautiful reminder of God's wisdom and love as we begin our day together.

On weekends Al and his family love to check out car meets.Here's some info on Faithful Friends: We cultivate mentor relationships that inspire growth, resilience, and hope.In 1991, Duncan Campbell set out to determine the best way to transform the most vulnerable children's lives. He was determined to find a way to help children that was grounded in solid research, was focused on quantifiable results and considered the return on investment. A two-year research project identified that the best way to create real change is to start working with children early and provide each of them with a long-term, consistent relationships with caring adults. Based on these findings, Duncan founded Friends of the Children in 1993. Duncan wasn't finished! For over 30 years, he has hoped to see the Christian faith community serve vulnerable children through mentoring. In January 2013, Duncan Campbell was introduced to Josh White, the lead pastor of Door of Hope Church in Portland. Duncan shared his vision for the church to be an active participant in serving the needs of vulnerable children in the city. Together with Josh, they formed a vision to birth a faith-based mentoring program out of Door of Hope. This program would become Faithful Friends Mentoring Program.Faithful Friends began in March 2013 and now has 20 church partnerships and over 70 active mentor/mentee matches.https://faithfulfriendspdx.org/

NOTES Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 13:20 (NIV) After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself. 1 Samuel 18:1 (NIV) 1. A Good Friend PROMOTES. Who are you LOOKING OUT  for? 2. A Good Friend PROTECTS A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. Proverbs 17:17 (NLT) Who are you STANDING UP for? 3. A Good Friend is PRESENT. Who are you PRESENT for? BOTTOM LINE: Faithful FRIENDS lead to faithful LIVING. THE CHALLENGE: Make an EXCUSE to spend time with a FRIEND.

We are diving into the book of Galatians with the idea that we have been Rescued and there is No Going Back.  In the first chapter we are focusing on the fact that the Gospel is GOOD NEWS!  There is No Other Gospel, no other good news that is entirely true and trustworthy.  No Other Gospel that carries the news of a Rescuing Savior, a Righteous Ruler, a Grace-filled Father and a Faithful Friend.  The Gospel reveals Jesus and Rescues us from our own destructive ways.  No Other Gospel has the power to save, to heal, to transform and to make us entirely whole.

Pastor Freddy T Wyatt and Grant Lowder are ready for fall and they are excited for more consistent podcast episodes! They sit down on this Thursday morning to talk about how loud the roosters are, the building being a blessing to Sango, and what is going on with our college and young adults!   If you want to keep up with Beck's Farmhouse Coffee, you can follow them on instagram: @becksfarmhousecoffee If you want more information on Faithful Friends, you can go here: http://faithfulfriendsdementia.org/ If you would like to host a college and young adults Last Sunday Lunch, you can email Grant Lowder: grant@reallifesango.com   Text "mission" to 97000 to learn more about Real Life or visit RealLifeSango.com    

Josh Varnedoe continues our summer series "The Rewards of Wisdom" through the book of Proverbs with his message, "The Faithful Friend."

We've all seen it, that inspirational picture on the office wall of the lone mountain climber, reaching unimaginable heights on her own power alone. -- We often imagine that this is what faith will make us into; godly individuals who no longer need anything but God. But this week in our study of Philippians we see the exact opposite. Faithful people called to such great heights by God that they could only succeed with other faithful people around them. Sound more like what we actually need? Join us Sunday and we'll explore the topic together!
