Ecclesiastes 1, 12 // Jonathan NeefThis sermon explores the cyclical nature of life and the search for meaning as described in the book of Ecclesiastes. We look at the stark observations of the teacher in chapter 1 regarding the vanity of human toil and the pursuit of things "under the sun." By contrasting the weariness of endless cycles with the concluding wisdom in chapter 12, this study helps us find a grounded purpose that remains steady even when life feels fleeting.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49623973 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.06.21

In this episode of the Sharing Grace Podcast, we explore the story of Barnabas, Ananias, and Sapphira in Acts 4:32–5:11, looking at how generosity, honesty, and the fear of God shaped the early church. Through conversation and reflection, we wrestle with our own temptation to look more spiritual than we are, what it means to fear God more than people, and how we can become modern-day “Barnabas” encouragers who live with integrity and open-handed generosity.
Featuring: Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Ben Cossette, Johnny V., Mike McHugh, and James Gowell Edited by: Tim NicholsonIn this episode of Thriving in the Word, we continue The Hall of Faith series and we stop at a man who spent most of his life running — from his brother, from his past, from himself — and still somehow ended up in the Hall of Faith, leaning on a staff at the end of his days, blessing the next generation.We walk through Genesis 25, 27, 28, and 32 and trace it all the way into Hebrews 11:21, where Jacob, by faith, blessed each of Joseph's sons and worshiped as he leaned on top of his staff. The crew goes everywhere — from the "No Fear of God" mentality that marked Jacob's early years, to the night everything changed at Peniel, the wrestling match that left him with a limp and a new name, to the reminder God permanently built into his body that you don't walk away from an encounter with the Living God the same way you came in.Jacob is the deceiver who became Israel. He grabbed his brother's heel in the womb, stole a birthright over a bowl of soup, wore goat skins to trick a blind father, and spent twenty years getting played by his father-in-law. And yet — at the very end of his life, leaning on that staff, hip wrecked and days from death — he crossed his hands over two boys and spoke a blessing rooted not in what he could see, but in what God had promised generations before he was born.That's not clean faith. That's broken, limping, hard-won faith — and it still counted.We talk about what it looks like when God marks you, when the turning point in your life isn't a highlight reel but a dislocated hip and a new name you didn't earn. We talk about what it means to carry the blessing into the next room even when you're barely standing, and why Jacob's limp wasn't a punishment — it was a permanent reminder of who showed up when the fight was over.That leads us into some honest questions: What does the fear of God actually look like when it becomes real in your life — not religious, not routine, but real? What's your Bethel? What's your Peniel? And when you're at the end, will you still be reaching forward, speaking blessing over people who will outlive you?Topics include: Hall of Faith, Hebrews 11, Jacob, Genesis 25, Genesis 27, Genesis 28, Genesis 32, wrestling with God, Peniel, Bethel, Jacob and Esau, Jacob and Israel, name change in the Bible, no fear of God, fear of the Lord, Jacob's hip, faith and suffering, turning point faith, generational blessing, limping faith, broken people in the Bible, what is the fear of God, faith that costs you something, blessing the next generation, hard-won faith, covenant promise, stairway to heaven, God's faithfulness, Christian podcast, Bible teaching, Bible study on Jacob, Hall of Faith series, endurance in faith, wrestling with God in prayer, faith-based living, walking with God, Thriving in the Word.More Info: https://www.thrive.church Give: https://www.thrive.church/give/ Need prayer? prayer@thrive.church This is a presentation of Thrive.Church. © All Rights Reserved.

The fear of God. This message was shared by Brother Theodore Andoseh, during the weekly vision prayer night in Koume. 22nd VPNm year 2026 (3rd June, 2026 )
What if the most loving thing isn't the comment everyone else is leaving? Before you hit "proud of you," "you look beautiful," or "live your truth," ask yourself: are you encouraging someone toward life, or cheering them further into the very thing that's destroying them—and what does God think about it?#ChristianTikTok#ChristianReels#JesusChrist#BibleTruth#BiblicalTruth#ChristianPodcast#FaithOverFeelings#KingdomMindset#FollowJesus#DiscipleOfChrist#LoveAndTruth#SpeakTheTruth#TruthInLove#RealLove#BiblicalLove#ChristianLiving#ChristianEncouragement#FearGod#RepentAndBelieve#Watchman#CultureAndChrist#CounterCulture#ChristianPerspective#WorldVsWord#ModernChristianity#HardTruth#DeepFaith#ThinkAboutIt#TruthMatters#WakeUpChurch#LikingTheirPostsWontSaveThem#YoureNotHelpingThem#LoveDoesntCheerForSelfDestruction#IdentityInChrist#CreatedByGod#SpiritualDiscernment#ChristianContent#BibleTeaching

We are not meant to keep the Gospel to ourselves. We're called to pass it on. Advancing the mission of God requires passing the truth, goodness, and beauty of Christianity to the next generation. But how do we live that out? Join us as we learn about discipleship and discuss how to carry the Gospel forward through the lens of Deuteronomy 6.

Has the church lost the fear of God? In this episode of Staff Talks, Francis reflects on a growing burden he feels for the modern church - a drift away from honor, biblical conviction, and the simple authority of Scripture. From teaching in prison to worshiping openly on Stanford's campus, Francis contrasts the fear of man with the fear of God and wrestles with what happens when culture, influence, and endless opinions begin shaping our understanding of truth. As more voices reinterpret long-held Christian beliefs, this conversation explores a few of the tensions many believers feel today: Who do we trust? How do we stay grounded? And what does it look like to hold to Scripture as our anchor in a sea of voices all vying to be the answer to our questions? More than anything, this episode is a call to return to a faith marked by reverence for God, confidence in His Word, the awareness that eternity is real, and a passionate pursuit of truth that leads us to love others well.
The life of the preacher matters, and in this searching message Dr Alan Stoddard calls Bible teachers back to integrity, honesty, holiness, and the fear of God.Originally delivered at an Expositors Collective training event in St Petersburg, Florida in 2025, this episode addresses one of the most urgent questions facing pastors and ministry leaders today: what kind of person should stand before God's people and handle God's Word?Alan speaks candidly about a church culture that has been painfully shaken by moral failure, abuse scandals, celebrity pastor collapses, plagiarism, hidden compromise, and failures of accountability. But this is not a message of cynicism or despair. It is a call to recover the fear of God, to live above reproach, and to remember that effective expository teaching flows from a life, not merely a process.Drawing from 1 Timothy 3, Titus 1, and the values of the Expositors Collective, Alan argues that preaching happens through the personality of the preacher, and that personality must be shaped by a real relationship with God. The preacher must not only explain Scripture accurately, but be formed by Scripture deeply.In this message, Alan highlights eight traits that should mark those who handle the Word of God: grace-filled, honest, secure, hard-working, bold, zealous, teachable, and sympathetic. He speaks directly about sermon plagiarism, the temptation to rely on artificial shortcuts, the need to write our own sermons, the courage to preach difficult texts, and the importance of proclaiming the gospel boldly without chasing celebrity, eloquence, or applause.For pastors, Bible teachers, small group leaders, and anyone entrusted with the ministry of the Word, this episode is a timely reminder: preach grace, but live as someone changed by grace; teach holiness, but do not become harsh or judgmental; proclaim the Word, but stand under it first.For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com Join our private Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpositorsCollective
Have we become too casual with a Holy God?In this message, Pastor Harrison Conley reminds us that rightly seeing God's holiness restores reverence, humility, and awe. Be encouraged to approach God boldly through Jesus, while never losing the wonder of who He truly is.

Weekly Vision Prayer Night with Brother Theodore Andoseh - 19th Vision Prayer Night - Year 2026
On this episode of The Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the SBC Executive Committee, discusses how God designed fear for our good—and how humility, obedience, and accountability help us recover a healthy, biblical fear of the Lord that transforms our lives and leadership.
Submission and surrender are two of the most misunderstood words in the Christian life - yet, at their core, they are the elements that make deep, lasting relationships possible. In this message from our Fear of God series, Pastor Holly explores how the call in Ephesians 5 for followers of Jesus to "submit to one another" is not about power or control, but about the kind of mutual honor that reflects the very nature of God. Because when we see God rightly, we know relationships are not elective - they are essential to living in the Kingdom of God. And understanding the difference impacts the way we show up in every relationship.
