    Do you ever feel like Bible reading has become routine? Maybe life’s distractions, spiritual fatigue, or lack of inspiration have dulled your passion for God’s Word. But Scripture reminds us that “the word of God is living and active” (Hebrews 4:12)—it’s not just words on a page, but a divine conversation meant to transform our hearts. Joe Navarro, known online as @joechristianguy encourages us in today's prayer and devotional to approach the Bible not as a chore, but as a gift from our loving Father. By asking God to renew our desire for His Word, experimenting with new ways of study, and remembering that Scripture is for transformation, not just information, we can rediscover joy in meeting God daily through His truth. Main Takeaways God’s Word is living and active—it has power to refresh our weary souls. Prayer is the starting point: ask God to rekindle your hunger for Scripture. Changing your approach—like trying a new translation, using audio Bible, or joining a group—can spark renewed excitement. Bible study is not just about knowledge, but about transformation. Delight, not obligation, is what God desires for us as we engage His Word. Bible Verse References Hebrews 4:12 – God’s Word is living and active. Psalm 119:18 – Open my eyes to see wondrous things in Your law.

    This week, we will be studying Genesis 15:1-21 under the theme “God's Promise, Protection, and Coming Possession.” We find here that Abraham, the Father of Faith himself, wrestled with fear and doubt. However, God comforted him through both a verbal promise and a stunning covenant ceremony. God can handle all our doubts and encourages us to come to him for comfort.Series Summary: Our fall worship series will lead us through the Book of Genesis, arguably the most profound, insightful text in human history. Over this series, we'll uncover how the narratives of Genesis reveal God's design for creation, humanity, relationships, and purpose.

    Welcome back to the Motion Church Podcast. Today, we step into a brand-new series — “Scary Things Jesus Said.” Because sometimes… what He said wasn't soft. It wasn't safe. It was sharp. Real. Confronting. See, we've grown comfortable with a Jesus who makes us feel good, who wraps us in grace and warmth and mercy. But what about the Jesus who speaks hard truth? The one who loves us enough to challenge us— to tell us the things we don't want to hear, but need to. In this opening week, we remember that Jesus was not divided— He was full of grace and truth. Grace that saves us. Truth that shapes us. Both flowing from the same heart of a Father who dared to plunder heaven for us. So lean in. Let your heart be open, your spirit be ready. Because the words of Jesus might sound scary… but they just might set you free.

    In his sermon on the first of Jesus's seven "I am" statements, Pastor Matt explores the profound metaphor in John 6:35 where Jesus declares, "I am the bread of life." He connects this statement to how God provided manna for the Israelites in Exodus 16, showing how Jesus fulfills and surpasses this Old Testament foreshadowing. While the manna met temporary physical needs for one nation, Jesus as the bread of life meets eternal spiritual needs for the entire world at the cost of His life. Pastor Matt clarifies that when Jesus speaks of "eating His flesh," He's not suggesting cannibalism but using a metaphor for faith. To feed on Jesus means to believe in His death and resurrection, nourish ourselves with God's Word, draw close to the Father through prayer, and obediently live out His commands. In our modern context, we hunger for identity, security, meaning, and love—needs that only Jesus can truly satisfy, not success, relationships, pleasure, or distractions. Just as the Israelites gathered manna daily, we must be nourished by Jesus every day.

    The Book of Romans in your King James Bible is one of the most-powerful pieces of scripture in the New Testament, a book that is heavily built on the writings of the prophet Isaiah and applied to Christians in the Church Age. Reading Romans can be like a really good Fourth of July fireworks display, it can also hit you like an IED and run you right off the road. Where you wind up depends on how you start, and we highly recommend a rightly divided and dispensational approach to navigating it.“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:7 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Here in chapter 13, we read what Paul wants us to know about the government and their level of control over the citizenry. Paul is very clear, we are not working to bring in an earthly kingdom, neither are we rising up against our appointed rulers, though this chapter is oft used to promote both those things.

    Title: The Thing We Rarely Ask For But ShouldSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 12:3-13Episode Overview:God's discipline is something few of us ask for—but all of us desperately need. In this message from Hebrews 12:3–13, we explore how God's loving correction is not a mark of His anger, but evidence of His deep affection. The author of Hebrews reminds us to “consider Him who endured such hostility” so that we do not grow weary or lose heart. By fixing our eyes on Christ, we begin to see God's discipline not as punishment, but as purposeful—training us in holiness and shaping us into the likeness of His Son.This sermon unpacks two essential truths: first, that Jesus has already endured everything we never could; and second, that God's discipline is a profound good that grows endurance, righteousness, and peace in His children.Key Highlights:• Embrace Christ First: Before we can understand discipline, we must look to Jesus—the One who endured the Cross so that we could be saved. His endurance strengthens our faith and reframes our struggles.• Embrace Discipline Second: God's discipline is never condemnation. It is always correction and training, rooted in His perfect love for His sons and daughters.• The Purpose of Discipline: “For our good, that we may share in His holiness.” Discipline produces growth, endurance, and the peaceful fruit of righteousness.• The Right Response: Remember who you are—God's beloved child. Receive His correction eagerly, and let it shape you rather than harden you.• The Result: When we let God re-tune our hearts, He restores our joy and strengthens our faith, preparing us to “run with endurance the race set before us.”Call to Action:Ask God to reveal the areas in your life that need His loving correction. Instead of resisting His hand, invite Him to train and shape you for holiness. Pray, “Lord, whatever it takes, discipline me.” And when He does—receive it as grace. Because the Father who loves you as you are also loves you too much to leave you as you are.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

    When we face uncertainty, when life gets hard, when things happen that we can’t explain, we’ll often ask: Where is God? But every Christian should realize they are never alone. Jesus is with you. Pastor Greg Laurie shares more in this message. Notes: Focus verse - Genesis 22 Matthew 28:20 (NKJV)“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Psalm 23:4 (NKJV)“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil; For You are with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Sometimes our feelings need to catch up with our faith. #1 Joseph was in a prison cell. He probably felt all alone and abandoned. He was there, not because he broke a law, but because he kept one—God’s law. God was in the prison cell with Joseph. Genesis 50:20 (NKJV)"You meant it for evil; but God meant it for good—to save many people alive.” #2 Let’s go from a prison to a palace and think of Esther. Queen Vashti, to her credit, refused. She would not be humiliated or objectified, not even by the king. Vashti is a role model for young girls and women today.Don’t ever let some guy reduce you to a mere object. You are a woman made in the image God. If you present yourself cheaply, don’t expect to be valued royally. A man needs to value you for who you are on the inside, not only the outside. The most attractive thing is to be a godly and principled woman. Through the providence of God, Esther became the queen of Persia. God is always at work in the life of the believer, every hour of every day. God is now here! Providence comes from the Latin prōvidentia; “pro” meaning "before" or "ahead of time” and “videntia” meaning “to see.” God is in control. #3 The story of Israel at the Red Sea.They were between a rock and a hard place. Exodus 14:13–14 (NLT) Exodus 14:13–14 (NLT) Colossians 1:16–17 Exodus 14:19 A Christophany is an appearance of Jesus in the Old Testament. John 8:56–58 (NKJV)"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." John 8:56–58 (NKJV)Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" John 8:56–58 (NKJV)Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM!" Luke 24:27 The disciples on the Emmaus Road were literally listening to God incarnate describe His Old Testament appearances. Jesus didn’t begin in Bethlehem; He has always been. The story of redemption started a long time ago in a garden. The Christmas story begins with a tree: the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam and Eve sinned and lost that sweet fellowship with God. Genesis 3:8 (NLT)“When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the LORD God walking about in the garden.” We can never escape the presence of God. When you walk with God, it is a source of comfort. 1 John 1:9 (NKJV)“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.” James 1:14–15 (NLT)“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow,it gives birth to death.” The Bible says, “Christ was slain from the foundation of the world.” Genesis 3:15 Pharaoh tried to exterminate the Jews starting with the Hebrew baby boys. Wicked Haman tried to have the Jews wiped off the face of the earth. King Herod hearing that one was born, “King of the Jews,”tried to kill Jesus, but that too failed. Nothing would stop Messiah from coming.Nothing will stop Christ from coming again either. #4 The story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah. Read Genesis 22 The two of them went together.Genesis 22:8 That is exactly what happened when Jesus went to the cross for us. This gives a glimpse of Calvary from the Father’s perspective, sacrificing His Son, His only Son. Genesis 22:11 Christ died in our place and absorbed the wrath of God. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

    A Prayer to Guard Our Hearts and Minds

    We often talk about “guarding our hearts and minds” as Christians, but how often do we actually do it? As our daily prayer and devotional from Alicia Searl points out that it’s one thing to say it and another thing entirely to practice it—both for our children and for ourselves. Scripture reveals that our hearts are the source from which all things flow (Proverbs 4:23) and, without intentional protection, can easily be swayed by the world’s temptations. Philippians 4:6-8 gives us the antidote: bring everything to God in prayer and focus our thoughts on what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and admirable. This requires humility, self-examination, and a willingness to let God transform us. It’s not about living in fear but about living intentionally—making choices that draw us closer to Him, trusting that His peace will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Alicia also reminds us to ask ourselves daily: Is this activity pulling me closer or further from God? Are my influences and friendships encouraging me to grow in faith? Am I nourishing my heart and mind with truth or falling into temptation? Guarding our hearts and minds isn’t a passive command—it’s an active call to anchor ourselves in God’s character, Word, and truth. Today's Bible Reading: "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." – Philippians 4:7 Key Takeaways Guarding your heart is a proactive spiritual discipline (Proverbs 4:23; Philippians 4:6-8). Prayer and Scripture are God’s tools to transform our hearts and minds. The peace of God is not just emotional calm; it’s His protective shield over us. Evaluate your influences and habits to ensure they draw you closer to Christ. Let’s Pray Together O God, we come before You with hearts willing to seek Your presence and minds longing for Your truth. Please transform us and breathe Your peace into every corner of our lives. Guide us to make choices that honor You, surround us with faithful friends, and help us guard our hearts and minds with humility and obedience. Thank You for being an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent Father who loves and protects us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Doug Bopst—former felon, now personal trainer, author, and transformational speaker—to unpack how adversity, addiction, and rock-bottom moments can become the fuel for growth, purpose, and fatherhood. Doug opens up about his journey from incarceration and drug addiction to becoming a man of impact and integrity.   We explore how pain can become power when ownership is embraced, how faith and fitness became Doug's lifeline, and why men must choose responsibility over blame to rewrite their story. This episode is a raw and redemptive look at what happens when a man stops running and starts leading—with heart, humility, and grit.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome and Doug's powerful backstory: from pills to prison [3:48] - The moment everything changed: awakening behind bars [6:22] - Fitness as a path to discipline, clarity, and redemption [9:10] - Rebuilding trust with family through consistent action [11:36] - The identity shift from addict to athlete to leader [14:44] - Why your past doesn't disqualify you from fatherhood or purpose [17:32] - How Doug uses his pain to mentor young men and fathers [20:01] - The role of faith in healing and daily direction [23:10] - Accountability and structure as freedom—not limitation [25:38] - Why your mess can become your message [28:19] - The impact of small daily wins over massive overhauls [30:56] - Final reflections on masculinity, resilience, and second chances     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Your Past Doesn't Define You—Your Choices Do Doug proves that where you come from doesn't have to determine where you're going. Redemption starts when you take full ownership. 2. Fitness Can Be a Spiritual Practice Exercise became Doug's anchor. It wasn't just about the body—it became a tool for mental clarity, emotional regulation, and self-worth. 3. Consistency Rebuilds Trust Doug didn't win back respect overnight. It was through showing up daily—at home, at work, in faith—that others started believing in him again. 4. Your Story Can Heal Others When you share your scars instead of hiding them, you give others permission to grow. Doug's journey now empowers men to rise from their lowest points. 5. Discipline Is the Gateway to Freedom True freedom doesn't come from avoiding pain. It comes from building structure, owning your role, and becoming someone your family can count on.       LINKS & RESOURCES   Connect with Doug Bopst: https://www.dougbopst.com/free The Dad Edge Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions Podcast Hub: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Tools & Resources: https://www.thedadedge.com/tools     If this episode inspired you to own your past and step into your potential, follow, rate, review, and share the podcast.

    808 No One Is Able To Snatch Them Out Of The Father's Hand, A Guided Christian Meditation on John 10:26-30 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation NASB 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep. 27 My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one.” KJV 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one. Reflection on Scripture: Many things came to mind reading this passage. It has so much meaning. It deals with questions that have been questioned in Christianity for a huge amount of time. Its also a bit nerve wrecking. If we are not God's sheep it seems there is no hope for us. With that said what is the distinguishing factor on wether we are His sheep? That we hear His voice and follow Him. Yet with that said it seems to miss an incredibly important element of Grace if we feel that we save ourselves through our choice of following God. That feels off. The only reason we are even able to be considered His sheep is because the Father gave the Son us as sheep. When I sat pondering what devotional message we could pull out of this, perhaps the best thing that we could focus on is gratitude.  What profound gratitude we should feel to the loving God we have who offers redemption. I am so very grateful for that! When you ponder the offer that He gives it should fill you with gratitude. He offers eternal salvation and forgiveness from a profound grace in the face of our moral failure. Whatever fear you feel for not being considered one of God's speed, you should feel equally encouraged by the profound Love that God offers. In that gratitude embrace faith in Jesus. Not a faith that he arbitrarily goes around saving people, but a faith that what He says will happen. That faith is us hearing His voice.  Nobody will be able to pluck you out of His hand. There is no secret angry Father God behind the scenes who wants to destroy you but Jesus makes that God reluctantly forgive you. There is one perspective of God, one where you are loved and he wants you to live forever in heaven. Reject fear and move toward a kind of faith that aligns with believing in Jesus but also believing him enough do follow what He says.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him.

    RSV 22 It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem; 23 it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me;

    When we face uncertainty, when life gets hard, when things happen that we can’t explain, we’ll often ask: Where is God? But every Christian should realize they are never alone. Jesus is with you. Pastor Greg Laurie shares more in this message. Notes: Focus verse - Genesis 22 Matthew 28:20 (NKJV)“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Psalm 23:4 (NKJV)“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil; For You are with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Sometimes our feelings need to catch up with our faith. #1 Joseph was in a prison cell. He probably felt all alone and abandoned. He was there, not because he broke a law, but because he kept one—God’s law. God was in the prison cell with Joseph. Genesis 50:20 (NKJV)"You meant it for evil; but God meant it for good—to save many people alive.” #2 Let’s go from a prison to a palace and think of Esther. Queen Vashti, to her credit, refused. She would not be humiliated or objectified, not even by the king. Vashti is a role model for young girls and women today.Don’t ever let some guy reduce you to a mere object. You are a woman made in the image God. If you present yourself cheaply, don’t expect to be valued royally. A man needs to value you for who you are on the inside, not only the outside. The most attractive thing is to be a godly and principled woman. Through the providence of God, Esther became the queen of Persia. God is always at work in the life of the believer, every hour of every day. God is now here! Providence comes from the Latin prōvidentia; “pro” meaning "before" or "ahead of time” and “videntia” meaning “to see.” God is in control. #3 The story of Israel at the Red Sea.They were between a rock and a hard place. Exodus 14:13–14 (NLT) Exodus 14:13–14 (NLT) Colossians 1:16–17 Exodus 14:19 A Christophany is an appearance of Jesus in the Old Testament. John 8:56–58 (NKJV)"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." John 8:56–58 (NKJV)Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" John 8:56–58 (NKJV)Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM!" Luke 24:27 The disciples on the Emmaus Road were literally listening to God incarnate describe His Old Testament appearances. Jesus didn’t begin in Bethlehem; He has always been. The story of redemption started a long time ago in a garden. The Christmas story begins with a tree: the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam and Eve sinned and lost that sweet fellowship with God. Genesis 3:8 (NLT)“When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the LORD God walking about in the garden.” We can never escape the presence of God. When you walk with God, it is a source of comfort. 1 John 1:9 (NKJV)“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.” James 1:14–15 (NLT)“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow,it gives birth to death.” The Bible says, “Christ was slain from the foundation of the world.” Genesis 3:15 Pharaoh tried to exterminate the Jews starting with the Hebrew baby boys. Wicked Haman tried to have the Jews wiped off the face of the earth. King Herod hearing that one was born, “King of the Jews,”tried to kill Jesus, but that too failed. Nothing would stop Messiah from coming.Nothing will stop Christ from coming again either. #4 The story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah. Read Genesis 22 The two of them went together.Genesis 22:8 That is exactly what happened when Jesus went to the cross for us. This gives a glimpse of Calvary from the Father’s perspective, sacrificing His Son, His only Son. Genesis 22:11 Christ died in our place and absorbed the wrath of God. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

    Jesus didn't call us to be a condiment; He called us to be a covenant presence—salt that preserves and light that exposes. This message lays out a practical, biblical game plan for engaging culture, confronting lies, pushing back evil, and preserving what's good in our cities, schools, and public square. What you'll learn Salt ≠ seasoning: it's about permeation & preservation, not making sin palatable (Matt 5:13–16, NKJV). How to engage politically and publicly without losing your soul (Acts 5:29; 1 Pet 2:12). A step-by-step Salt & Light Strategy to slow moral decay, expose darkness, and build the good (Eph 5:11; Rom 12:21). How ordinary believers become change agents: showing up, speaking truth in love, and serving your community. The Salt & Light Strategy (5 moves) Permeate – Get out of the shaker: show up at school boards, councils, neighborhoods (Jer 29:7). Preserve – Hold the line against decay: defend life, marriage, family, and truth (Prov 24:11–12; Mic 6:8). Expose – Shine on lies and works of darkness with grace and courage (Eph 5:11; Isa 5:20). Build – Plant what's good: discipleship, mercy ministries, parallel institutions (Isa 58:12). Bless – Pray for leaders, do good works that point to the Father (1 Tim 2:1–2; Matt 5:16). Action steps this week Pick one arena (home, school, city, workplace) and show up. Tell the truth kindly once a day—online or in person. Adopt one local need (foster care, tutoring, food insecurity) and serve. Form a 3–5 person prayer/discipleship cell and commit to one public act of good each month.

    MERIMNAO: root word is the idea of your MIND BEING DIVIDED in 100 different directions.Matthew 6:25a “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life…“The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional.”—Max LucadoMatthew 6:25b what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?The root issue of anxiety is our desire for CONTROL.At the core of anxiety is the DESIRE to CONTROL that which WE CAN'T CONTROL.Where are you trying to be in control?Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? What you are trying to CONTROL the MOST reveals where you TRUST GOD the LEAST.Where you TRUST God the LEAST is what you will WORRY about MOST.HENCE: What you WORRY about the most often reveals where you TRUST God the least.Matthew 6:27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?Worry never helps SOLVE tomorrow's problems, it only ROBS today of its joy.Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.“No man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today, that the weight is more than a man can bear.”—George Macdonald.Matthew 6:31-32 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.Our WEAK SPOT with worry is often a STRONGHOLD where we haven't put God first.Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.1.

    Throughout the Bible, we see that God desires for people to experience His presence, but how can sinful humans enter into the presence of a holy God? A sobering story that illustrates this very problem is found in 2 Samuel: As the procession carrying the Ark of the Covenant makes its way to Jerusalem, God's anger is kindled towards a man named Uzzah. Why does God's punishment seem so harsh, and what does it say about His nature? We invite you to listen in as we delve into this story and discover why only Jesus can bridge the gap between us and the Father.

    In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.The Rosary is foremost among them.Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for malign actors within the various intelligence agencies around the world (CIA, MI6, Mossad, etc.), and against any participation they may have with demonic entities.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a 24 hour water fast, adjusted for your state in life.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

Does the church feel like a spiritual family to you? Why or why not? 2) What challenges keep churches from experiencing a sense of family? How can we overcome these challenges? 3) What are common things that create divisions in the American church? Do you think it is possible to build bridges over these divides? Why or why not? When could it be warranted to choose to divide? READ John 17:20-23“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 5) Is it even realistic to think that believers could be “one” just as the Father and the Son are “one” and “brought to complete unity”? What makes you skeptical about this? What makes you hopeful that this could happen? According to verse 23, why is unity central to the mission of the church (helping people come to know and follow Jesus). 6) What would you need to do differently in order to move toward the unity that Jesus prayed for in the church? What is your NEXT STEP to move toward Jesus' vision for the church? 7) Do you think it is possible for people to be united in Christ when they think differently about God, the Bible, the Church, Culture, Social Issues, Politics, etc? Why or why not? How could that kind of unity be possible? What would it require of Christ followers? 8) How did the life and death of Jesus model a love for our enemies? How can this kind of love supersede the divisions we see in our culture? Who is our real enemy? Ephesians 6:12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 9) How can we practically battle him and not people we disagree with?

    Welcome to the sermon. Today we're in Exodus 3 & 4, exploring one of life's most foundational questions: "Who am I?" Through Moses's encounter at the burning bush, we'll confront the shame and insecurity that so often writes our life's story. We'll see how God's answer to our feelings of inadequacy is profoundly different from the world's, shifting our focus from our weakness to His powerful presence.Scripture ReferencesExodus 3:1-14: The Burning Bush, God's call, and Moses's first question, "Who am I?"Exodus 4:1-17: Moses's excuses, God's provision of signs, and His promise of help.Key Points1. Unredeemed Shame Writes Our StoryOur behavior is rooted in what we believe about ourselves. While guilt says "I did something bad," shame says "I am bad." If this shame isn't redeemed, it becomes the author of our story, creating vows that dictate our actions. Moses was crippled by shame: he felt he belonged nowhere, was a failure rejected by everyone, was too old, and was disabled by a speech impediment. His shame was about to make him miss his destiny.2. The World's Answer vs. God's AnswerHow does God respond to Moses's crippling insecurity? Our culture—and even AI—advises self-reflection, validation, and positive reinforcement. The goal is self-love. God's approach is completely different. When Moses asks, "Who am I?", God doesn't list Moses's qualifications or tell him "You've got this." Instead, He gives a radically different answer that changes the entire equation: "I will be with you."3. God's Presence is the Antidote to PrideGod's answer isn't a non-answer; it's the only answer. Focusing on ourselves leads to one of two places: pride ("I am adequate") or insecurity ("I am inadequate"). Both are forms of pride because they are self-obsessed. The way out is to stop looking inward, which leads to depression, and to look at God, which leads to rest. God's presence, not our adequacy, is the foundation for our calling.ConclusionGod's promise, "I will be with you," is the definitive answer to our deepest insecurities. He doesn't call the adequate; He makes Himself present to the inadequate. Even God's anger at Moses's final excuse was the protective love of a Father, angry for him, not wanting him to miss his destiny. God wants to take the pen from the hand of your shame and become the true Author of your story.Calls to ActionIdentify the Script: Recognize where shame, rather than God's truth, is writing the script for your life.Shift Your Focus: When you feel inadequate, intentionally shift your question from "Who am I?" to "Who is the God that is with me?"Rest in His Presence: Stop striving to become adequate. Instead, receive the promise that He is with you as your all-sufficient help. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

    Luke's first work for Theophilus gave us all that Jesus began to do and teach, and his second work, Acts, gives us all he continues to do. Our risen Lord ascended to the Father and now continues his mission to spread his glory to the ends of the earth. That mission launches from his Spirit-empowered body, the church. In Acts 13:1-12, we meet the church at Antioch, a church formed by persecution and eager to get about that mission. How did they go about that work? What did they actually do? List as we learn from this sister church the work to commit ourselves to for the sake of this unstoppable mission.

    Jesus didn't just save us from sin, He saved us for a purpose. In this message, we explore the Church's role in God's redemptive plan. The Church isn't just a place we go; it's a people we become. Through His Spirit, God empowers ordinary people to carry out an extraordinary mission: to be His love, truth, and hope in a broken world.Questions for Reflection:• When you think about “the Church,” how closely does your view align with what Jesus intended—and what might need to shift?• Are you walking in the Father's purpose, the Son's authority, and the Holy Spirit's power in your everyday life?

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Oct05.pdf * Last week, in our study of the book of Hebrews, we began to consider the Author's presentation that Jesus isn't just an "angel" rather He is more than an "angel" ... He is God the Son! In that study, we considered the nature of His Sonship - in being part of the Triune Godhead of YHWH. Additionally, we saw that one of the roles of the Son is to be the Tabernacling Presence of YHWH on the earth. He is the Apostle (official representative) of the Father. This week we will consider His Salvation. * Last week and this week are critical in establishing the case for the Messianic provision of the perfect propitiation for our sins. The perfect God - YHWH - condescended to the earth in order to take on our flesh in order to overcome the ultimate consequence of our sin - death! The perfect sin sacrifice had to be both God (perfection) and Man (humanity-the bearer of sin); Jesus is that Perfect Propitiation! * Coming out of the conversation that Jesus is God the Son, not an angel, the author brings a Challenge to the Hebrew listeners: How shall WE escape if WE neglect so great a salvation? In this section, we will see allusions to two great moments of Israel's history and deliverance (the Exodus and David's victory over Goliath) - but also times of GREAT SALVATION/DELIVERANCE which were treated with negligence by the people. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on September 21, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
