The Song of Moses Conclusion
Life is full of beautiful moments, but we often rush through them without noticing the fingerprints of God. In today's prayer and devotional, Chelsey DeMatteis shares a personal story of how God revealed His presence during a time of uncertainty and nervous anticipation. As she stepped into a new experience—traveling without her child for the first time—Chelsey asked the Lord to show Himself in the everyday details. He answered through both visible signs and heartfelt encouragement. This devotional is a reminder that God wants to be seen and sought in our ordinary, daily moments. He delights when we boldly ask for His presence and pay attention to the ways He reveals His love and faithfulness. Whether through peace, kindness, or something as unexpected as a traced heart or late-night prayer, the Lord is near and active in our lives. Today's Verse:
What would you do if God asked you to give up what is most precious to you? In Genesis 22, Abraham is tested in an unimaginable way—asked to offer up his beloved son Isaac. This sermon explores the tension between loving the gift and loving the Giver, and how God's testing reveals our hearts. Through Abraham's obedience, we see a foreshadowing of Christ's ultimate sacrifice and a call to examine what we place before God in our own lives. Are we willing to trust God's provision, even when it seems to cost us everything? Join us on Sunday as we reflect on faith, testing, and God's gracious substitution. Please pray for Pastor Dayle and the team as they prepare for our service.
Series: 1 and 2 Samuel — Preacher: Eddie Benjamin
How do you relate to the idea of home? Do you appreciate all that is special about it? Do you long to return when you are away? At times, our homes can leave us wanting something more, almost as though we are homesick for a place we have never been.Why do we sometimes feel like strangers in life? This week, we will look at what the book of Hebrews tells us about feeling "at home" in the world, and why the old-fashioned word pilgrim is maybe the best word to describe how we should see our lives in the world.Please pray for Pastor Dayle and the team as they prepare for the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday!

This week in our "Journey Through Scripture" series, Marcus Staley unpacks the challenging yet hopeful book of Hosea. Through the dramatic narrative of Hosea and Gomer, we'll see a profound parallel: Israel's repeated unfaithfulness met by God's incredible, steadfast love. This sermon will reveal how God relentlessly pursues and redeems us, even in our own unfaithfulness, offering a powerful message of grace and restoration. #Bismarck #church #BismarckCommunityChurch #BCC #Gospel #JourneyThroughScripture #ReadBible #unity #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #Sermon #MarcusStaley #Hosea #Gomer #Unfaithful #FaithfulGod #God'sSteadfastLove #GodPursuesUs #GodsGrace #Restoration #RedemptionSupport the showFind out more about us at BismarckCC.org.

Are you an expert in departure, always struggling to cultivate deep relationships? Or do you feel so afraid of making a mistake or being alone that you cannot take the first step? In the story of Abraham and Sarah, we see two opposing movements. We see a call to depart and also a call to be rooted. Is there some way we can navigate these seemingly opposite calls on our lives? The gracious call of Jesus to “follow me” comes to us as we are, today. His voice shows us we can depart. He also shows us where we are headed, toward far better things, while also being rooted in His unfailing love. The wilderness beyond the distractions of the city is a place of suffering, but also surprising joy, where we will find we are not alone, but surrounded by fellow travellers, the people of God. His promise, as we continue to trust, taking small steps forward, is to transform our pain into a place of healing, restoration, and new life. If you want to grow strong in character and soft in heart, this service is for you!
Why do we keep choosing disappointment over the God who never fails us? This powerful message from 2 Kings 13 reveals how idolatry isn't an ancient problem, but a modern struggle too. Through the story of Israel's stubborn kings and Elisha's miraculous final act, we see how God's compassion persists even when we repeatedly turn away. Listen and be inspired to trust God's faithfulness over our own temporary solutions.
This week we take a closer look at the Scriptural teaching about the faithfulness of God. This study draws from John MacArthur's book "Our Awesome God" and A.W. Tozer's book "The Knowledge of the Holy". Our Awesome God: https://GTY.org/store/books/452018/our-awesome-god The Knowledge of the Holy: https://ChristianBook.com/9780060684129/pd/7310
In this sermon, Pastor Ben Minton teaches about how the Lord is the Faithful God and what that means for Israel. Also, we learn from the mistakes that Israel and Moses made in their responses to God's call.
The Glory of Our Fearsome & Faithful God (Psalm 76, Jul 6th 2025) by Sovereign Grace Church
A sermon from 2 Kings 6:8-23 in our Failing Kings, Faithful God series, given by Todd Stewman.
In this letter to the Thessalonian church, Paul is relieved and encouraged by the report from Timothy that this church has kept the faith. Paul has a new challenge for them now, that they not only increase their love for one another, but also they love ALL - as in even the Jews who have persecuted them in the past, who had run Paul out of town. Why this exhortation by Paul? So that God may establish hearts worthy to be saved where love contributes to spiritual maturity and readiness for judgement on the Last Day. Isaiah 66:10–14 I Thessalonians 3:6-13 Luke 10:1–20
Fruit of the Spirit: Faithfulness - Pastor Jorge Hernandez “Faithful God"
This Sunday, Pastor Zohary Ross continued our journey through the Minor Prophets by studying the book of Hosea. God uses Hosea to remind us that no matter how far we may stray away from God, His love is constant and His restoration is available to all who repent and turn back to Him.

We all ask the question at some point: What is God's will for me? In this week's message, we walk with Elijah from the mountaintop of fire to the quiet of the cave and listen for the whisper of God. While we often search for big signs, emotional highs, or opened doors, Scripture shows us that God's voice often comes in stillness - and His will begins not with direction, but with relationship. Join us as we explore 1 Kings 18–19, reflect on how we try to hear God, and hear the good news that even when we've filled our lives with noise or run the other way, Jesus still calls us back - not to shame us, but to bring us life. Real life. Abundant life. 1 Kings 19:9b–21 Galatians 5:1, 13–25 Luke 9:51–62
Faithful God
Martin Luther - “It is not we who seek God, but God Himself seeks by means of the Word. THEN, after you have been found, then you should seek.” God says, “Here am I. Here am I! I want to be found.” But we ignore Him. We don't even hear Him through the noise of this world. We don't even see Him by the distractions of this world.” But God keeps showing up, revealing himself, even when we don't seek Him. He showed up in the most powerful way, a new testament, a new story dwelling with us, and He still does. Talks to us. Dwells with us in His Word and in His sacraments. Isaiah 65:1–9 Galatians 3:23–4:7 Luke 8:26–39
In one of the darkest seasons of Israel's history, a man named Ethan picked up his pen and wrote a song—not of sorrow, but of unwavering faith: “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever.” From the depths of captivity, he declared what many of us need to be reminded of today: God is faithful. Whether you're standing on a mountaintop or leaning against the cold wall of a prison cell, His faithfulness never fails. This message is for anyone who's ever asked “Why, God?”—and still dared to worship in the waiting.
God stands with us and strengthen us to proclaim His Word together

This text recounts the Israelites receiving the sign and seal of circumcision, and so being marked as God's people, recipients of God's blessings, and heirs to God's promise. The LORD reassures His people that He is faithful to go before them, be with them, and make them His. I. The LORD's faithfulness perceived II. The LORD's faithfulness received III. The LORD's faithfulness applied.
This week we ask a question too big to answer fully: Who is the Trinity? Instead of trying to explain Him, we turn to how the Trinity moves. The early Church used the word perichoresis, a divine dance, to describe how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work together in perfect unity. Each Person of the Trinity leads a different movement: The Father creates and provides. The Son redeems and restores. The Spirit sanctifies and guides. And here's the good news: That dance isn't distant. You're invited in. Where is the Trinity at work in your life today? Psalm 8 Acts 2:14a, 22–36 John 8:48–59

Promise Keeper! That is Jesus. He promised the Holy Spirit. He delivered the Holy Spirit. But Pentecost is not the end of Jesus delivering on His promises. Promises that give us comfort. Promises that give us hope. Gen. 11:1–9 Acts 2:1–21 John 14:23–31
Fallen People Faithful God Week #14 by Mission Life Church Ionia
This sermon, Lessons from the Wilderness: Bitter Water, Empty Stomachs, and a Faithful God, highlights that while God leads us out of Egypt, He often guides us through the wilderness to shape our hearts. The wilderness journey is not just about leaving behind the past but about discovering who we truly are and who God truly is. At the Waters of Marah (Exodus 15:22–27), bitter water mirrored the bitterness in the hearts of the people—testing didn't change them; it revealed them. In the wilderness of Sin (Exodus 16:1–36), their complaining exposed a deeper issue: trust in God's provision. The grumbling showed that the Red Sea was behind them, but fear still lived inside them. Even after God's miracles, they chose doubt over dependence. Yet at Rephidim (Exodus 17:1–7), when the people cried out in thirst and anger, God's faithfulness shone through. He provided water from the rock, not as a reward for their faithfulness but as a revelation of His own unchanging nature. The wilderness isn't just about survival; it's about transformation. Through every test, God's provision revealed His faithfulness, patience, and presence—even when His people were faithless. This wilderness journey shapes us, teaching us that God is faithful because of who He is, not because of who we are.

Christians should continually seek to glorify Christ in every circumstance, especially in challenging times, being comforted by the fact that God will rightly judge any opposition to faithfulness.

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 5 Ananias and Sapphira sell property but deceive the apostles about giving the full proceeds. Peter confronts them, and both are struck dead by God, instilling fear throughout the church. Meanwhile, the apostles continue to preach about Jesus and heal many who are sick. Motivated by jealousy, the high priest and the Jewish Council arrest the apostles. However, God sends an angel to release them, and they return to the temple to resume their teaching. They are brought before the Council again but boldly proclaim that they must obey God and teach about Jesus as the risen Savior and King. Gamaliel, a Pharisee, warns that opposing these men could mean standing against God. The apostles are beaten and released but rejoice in their suffering and continue to preach about Jesus openly. God values honesty, integrity, and sincerity among His people. The deaths of Ananias and Sapphira remind us that we cannot hide anything from God, and when we commit to Him, He expects faithfulness. It may be that these two sought recognition like Barnabas received but lacked the genuine faith to carry out the act of charity. In contrast, the apostles demonstrate self-sacrifice and unwavering commitment to the Savior. They were willing to bear the cost and even rejoiced in the opportunity to suffer as Christ did. God protected them and used their faith to encourage and help others. The opposition faltered in the face of their dedication to Christ. God will also be with us if we show authentic faithfulness. Faithful God, we know that You expect honesty and integrity from Your children. Please forgive our selfishness and hypocrisy. Help us learn from the failings of Ananias and Sapphira and take our commitment to You seriously. Discipline us to live like the apostles, actively assisting others and remaining steadfast in our vocal allegiance to King Jesus. Civil authorities and even religious leaders may oppose our simple, trusting faith. Lord, help us declare, “We must obey God rather than men,” and continue teaching repentance and the forgiveness of sins through Jesus. Train us to be joyful and confident in our Christian walk. Thought Questions: - Why did Ananias and Sapphira lie about the money they gave? How do you keep greed from getting in the way of faithfulness? - Even the shadow of Peter healed people as he walked by. Do you believe in God's limitless power to heal and help today? - Where do you encounter opposition to your faith and your stand for Jesus? What is the right way to handle difficult confrontations?
