*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation centers on entering into the finished work of Christ and learning to walk in complete trust and dependence upon God. The speakers emphasize that believers are already being perfected through Christ and that God is actively shaping, refining, and transforming His people into vessels through which He can move. Rather than striving through human effort, the family discusses yielding to the Father's will, allowing Him to prune, mold, and lead them into deeper relationship and rest. The discussion also highlights the transition from the Adamic nature into the life of the Spirit, where believers begin to experience authority, sonship, peace, and contentment in God. Through faith, humility, and surrender, the believer discovers that the true reward is not earthly gain, but an ongoing walk and relationship with the Father. Show Notes God has already completed and perfected the work concerning His people.Unbelief does not override what God has declared.Believers are the clay, and God is the potter shaping lives according to His purpose.The Lord refines His people through fire, pruning, and spiritual growth.True good works come from God moving through yielded vessels.The cross represents a transition from flesh into Spirit.Walking with God requires humility, trust, and surrender to His will.Jesus entered into rest after completing His work and now intercedes for believers.Faith is a daily unfolding walk rather than a fully visible roadmap.Contentment in the present relationship with God is a major step in spiritual maturity.The greatest reward is simply walking in relationship with the Father. Quotes “Your unbelief doesn't count.”“I've got a finished work for you.”“We are His workmanship, created in Christ for good works.”“My only job is to submit to His will.”“Jesus Christ is our rest. He is the finished work.”“It's a walk of faith and trust, and it unfolds daily.”“Enjoy the path. Enjoy the ride.”“Can you be content in your relationship with the Lord?”“There's only one thing you're going to receive, and that is that you have a walk with God.” Scriptural References Philippians 1 (6)“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”God completes the work He starts in His people.Ephesians 2 (10)“We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.”Believers are shaped and prepared by God for His purposes.Jeremiah 18 (6)The potter and the clay.God molds and forms His people according to His will.Hebrews 4 (9–10)Entering into God's rest.Christ is the believer's rest and finished work.Hebrews 11The roll call of faith.Faithful believers trusted God even without fully receiving the promise.Romans 8 (14)“As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”Sonship comes through walking in the Spirit.Galatians 2 (20)“Not I, but Christ lives in me.”The Christian life is Christ living through yielded vessels.Matthew 18 (3)Becoming as a little child.Walking with God requires humility, trust, and simplicity.Psalm 37 (7)“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.”Contentment and trust are part of the believer's walk. Takeaway The believer's journey is not about striving to become something through human effort, but about surrendering to the finished work of Christ and allowing God to shape, refine, and live through them. As believers learn to trust Him daily, they enter into His rest, discovering that the true fulfillment is not found in future promises alone, but in walking with God right now.

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | May 19, 2026 A believer is called to live with a renewed understanding of life, death, and spiritual authority grounded in the finished work of Christ. The appointment that humanity once held with death and judgment has been fulfilled in Christ, who bore sin and entered death on behalf of all. Because of this, death no longer holds ultimate dominion over those who are joined to him. Life is no longer to be shaped by fear of mortality, but by the assurance that redemption has already addressed the deepest human constraint. This reality produces a new identity: righteousness. To be made righteous is not merely a moral label but a transformed position that carries privileges, responsibilities, and a new way of living. It redefines expectation, especially in relation to prayer, healing, and divine response. Confidence becomes a key mark of spiritual life—confidence that when requests align with divine will, they are heard, and when they are heard, they are already considered received. Doubt, instability, and fear are therefore not neutral emotions but internal disruptions that weaken spiritual clarity and reception. Fear, in particular, is treated as an intruder that must not be accommodated. It can arise from circumstances, evidence, memory, or anticipation, but it is not meant to remain. It is confronted through intentional engagement with truth, repetition of scriptural reality, and sustained focus on what is certain rather than what is threatening. Victory over fear is not always immediate; it is often cultivated through persistence until peace replaces agitation. In this process, the Word becomes both anchor and weapon, stabilizing the mind and restoring spiritual direction. The Word of God is presented not only as instruction for living but as material for inner construction. It builds spiritual capacity, expands inner receptivity, and reshapes perception. As it is meditated upon and internalized, it produces confidence, clarity, and strength. It also aligns the believer with divine instruction in moments of crisis, enabling right response rather than emotional reaction. In moments of confusion or pressure, divine direction becomes essential, as seen in the pattern of seeking guidance before action rather than relying on impulse. A central expression of spiritual life is communication with God through the Spirit. Prayer in the Spirit is portrayed as more than ritual—it is a channel of mystery, strengthening, and alignment. It enables communication beyond natural understanding and builds inner spiritual capacity. When practiced intentionally, it produces assurance, sensitivity, and a strengthened inner life. Alongside this, calling upon the name of Jesus is emphasized as an act of authority, access, and deliverance. The name represents power that transcends speech; it activates divine operation and brings help, intervention, and rescue. Spiritual transformation is also described as a progressive process. It is not instantaneous but occurs through repeated exposure to divine truth and active participation with the Spirit. As attention is placed on divine reality, inner change occurs—thought patterns shift, desires are reordered, and behavior is reshaped. This transformation affects not only moral conduct but the entire orientation of life, including how challenges, sickness, temptation, and adversity are interpreted and confronted. Creation itself is portrayed as awaiting restoration, longing for the full expression of redeemed humanity. The natural world is seen as impacted by human spiritual condition, and its restoration is tied to the emergence of mature spiritual life. In this framework, redemption extends beyond personal salvation into a broader restoration of order, authority, and harmony. Spiritual authority is therefore expressed through several channels: the Word, the Spirit, prayer, the name of Jesus, and the consciousness of righteousness. These are not separate tools but interconnected dimensions of a single life empowered by divine presence. Healing, deliverance, provision, and moral victory are all framed as outcomes of engaging these realities faithfully. At the center of it all is the understanding that divine mercy remains active and accessible. Even in failure or weakness, turning toward God produces restoration rather than rejection. Mercy is not an exception to divine character but a consistent expression of it. This produces a posture of humility and dependence rather than self-condemnation or despair. Ultimately, the life being described is one of confident spiritual participation—where fear is displaced by faith, confusion by clarity, weakness by empowerment, and passivity by intentional engagement. It is a life shaped by the reality of redemption, sustained by communion with the Spirit, and expressed through authority in prayer, word, and identity. a Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

Get the notes!Unlocking the Depth of Hebrews 1:1–3 | Complete Masterclass CurriculumFor many believers, the opening verses of the Book of Hebrews are familiar, yet their profound theological weight is often left unexamined. In just three verses, the author packs an astonishing amount of covenant history, original Greek wordplay, and high-priestly imagery to establish one undeniable truth: Jesus Christ is supreme over all.If you are looking to take your church, small group, or personal study past surface-level readings and into a rigorous, substantive exploration of scripture, our newly released Hebrews 1:1–3 Complete Masterclass Curriculum provides the ultimate professional-grade framework.The Core Lesson: The Supremacy and Sufficiency of the SonThe letter to the Hebrews was originally written to first-century Jewish Christians who were enduring intense social persecution and alienation. Under immense pressure, many were tempted to abandon their faith in Christ and retreat to the familiar, comfortable rituals of the old temple system.To counter this danger, the author of Hebrews builds an unshakeable, “better than” defense of the Christian faith, starting with the very nature of divine revelation:1. From Fragmentary Past to Final PresentIn the Old Covenant, God spoke polymerōs (“in many portions”) and polytropōs (“in many ways”). For over a millennium, revelation unfolded fragment by fragment through visions, types, and the lived object lessons of mere human prophets. But “in these last days,” God has spoken a final, definitive word to us en huiō—“in a Son”. This isn't just a change in message; it is a massive qualitative upgrade in the status of the Messenger.2. The Essential Deity of ChristJesus is explicitly revealed as the apaugasma (the absolute radiance and outshining) of God's glory and the charaktēr (the flawless, exact representation) of His essential nature. Because God does not share His glory with created beings, these precise terms establish Christ's absolute equality with the Father. He is not a lesser duplicate; He is God manifest in bodily form, actively upholding the entire cosmic order and the laws of physics by His powerful word.3. The Finished Work of the High PriestPerhaps the most revolutionary insight for a Jewish audience was the declaration that Christ “sat down” after making purification for sins. In the ancient Tabernacle and Temple structures, there were no chairs. The Aaronic priests could never sit because animal sacrifices only covered sin, meaning their work was never finished. Jesus, operating under the eternal order of Melchizedek, offered His own blood once and for all, completely removing sin and sitting down to signal that our redemption is eternally complete.Packaged for Your Ministry: What's Inside the Curriculum BundleTo help you seamlessly transfer these rich theological truths to your congregation or study circle, we have packaged this exhaustive study into a clean, publication-ready digital download.

How Christians Grow in Assurance of Salvation Host: Dave Jenkins Show: Anchored in the Word (Servants of Grace) Topic: How can I grow in assurance of salvation? Show Summary Many Christians struggle with assurance of salvation. Doubt can creep in through suffering, discouragement, lingering sin, or seasons when emotions feel heavy. Some believers fear they have sinned too much, while others wonder whether their faith is real. But the Word of God speaks with clarity, tenderness, and strength about assurance. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains how believers grow in assurance by trusting God's promises, resting in Christ's finished work, relying on the Holy Spirit's testimony, practicing the ordinary means of grace, examining their lives biblically, and persevering in faith. Christians grow in assurance of salvation by trusting God's promises, resting in Christ's finished work, relying on the Holy Spirit, using the means of grace, examining their lives biblically, and persevering in faith. Audio Player Video Player Key Scriptures John 10:28–29 Romans 8:38–39 Philippians 1:6 Hebrews 10:14 Romans 8:16 Galatians 5:22–23 2 Corinthians 13:5 Episode Notes 1. Assurance Begins with the Promises of God Your assurance does not begin with your performance. It begins with God's character and God's Word. Jesus promises that His people are secure in His hand. John 10:28–29 — No one can snatch Christ's sheep from His hand. Romans 8:38–39 — Nothing can separate believers from the love of God in Christ. Philippians 1:6 — God will complete the work He began in His people. Christians grow in assurance by trusting what God has said, not by trusting how they feel or how well they think they are doing. 2. Assurance Rests in the Finished Work of Christ Assurance is not built on our obedience, consistency, or spiritual performance. It is built on Christ—His obedience, His righteousness, and His finished work on the cross. Hebrews 10:14 — By a single offering, Christ has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. The basis of your salvation is Christ Himself, and the basis of your assurance is also Christ Himself. 3. Assurance Strengthens Through the Holy Spirit's Testimony The Holy Spirit strengthens assurance in two key ways: through His internal witness and through the fruit He produces in the believer's life. Romans 8:16 — The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Galatians 5:22–23 — The Spirit produces spiritual fruit in believers. Fruit does not save us, but it does confirm that God is at work in us. 4. Assurance Grows Through the Means of Grace The ordinary means of grace are not glamorous, but they are powerful. God uses these means to provide stability and growth. God's Word — The Spirit uses Scripture to strengthen faith. Prayer — Communion with God strengthens confidence in Him. The Local Church — Hearing the gospel preached and living in community shapes assurance. The Lord's Supper — A visible reminder of Christ's finished work. 5. Assurance Grows as We Examine Ourselves Biblically Scripture calls believers to examine themselves—not to spiral into fear, but to confirm genuine faith. 2 Corinthians 13:5 — Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith. Helpful questions include: Do I trust in Christ alone for salvation? Do I hate my sin and desire to grow? Is there evidence of the Spirit's work in my life? Am I walking imperfectly and yet genuinely with Christ? This is not self-condemnation. It is gospel-shaped reflection. 6. Assurance Deepens as We Persevere in the Lord Assurance grows over time. As we walk with Christ through years of trusting, repenting, praying, worshiping, and obeying, a deeper confidence forms: Christ is keeping me, and He will keep me to the end. What Robs Christians of Assurance of Salvation? Assurance does not vanish because God changes. It weakens when we stop looking to the Lord. Unconfessed sin Neglect of God's Word Isolation from the local church Listening to feelings over Scripture Legalism or performance-based Christianity Conclusion At the heart of assurance is this: You are saved by Christ. You are kept by Christ. You will be glorified by Christ. Your salvation is secure not because your grip is strong, but because His grip on you is unbreakable. Next Episode Next Thursday, we will talk about why confession and repentance are essential for Christian growth and how this builds on what we have discussed about assurance and sanctification.

Send us Fan Mail“The Finished Work of Christ on the Cross”In this episode of Bible Insights, Wayne Conrad teaches that Jesus Christ's death on the cross was a complete, once-for-all sacrifice for sin, emphasizing the meaning of Christ's declaration, “It is finished” (tetelestai).Key Points:Christ's Final Declaration: When Jesus said “It is finished,” He घोषित that His atoning work was fully accomplished—God's wrath against sin had been satisfied, and nothing remained to be done. Biblical Foundation (Hebrews 9–10): Scripture teaches that Christ offered Himself once for all, unlike Old Testament priests who offered repeated sacrifices. His work is final, sufficient, and never to be repeated. Christ's Completed Priesthood: Jesus “sat down” at God's right hand, signifying that His sacrificial work is finished—unlike the continual labor of Levitical priests. Critique of the Roman Catholic Mass: The podcast argues that the Catholic doctrine of the Mass—as a repeated, propitiatory (wrath-appeasing) sacrifice—is unbiblical and contradicts the finality of Christ's work. It references the Council of Trent, which teaches that Christ is re-presented in an “unbloody” sacrifice, and rejects this as inconsistent with Scripture. Reformation Perspective: Reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Ulrich Zwingli upheld that:  Christ's sacrifice is once for all The Lord's Supper is a memorial and thanksgiving, not a repeated sacrifice  Salvation is by faith alone, not by works or participation in ongoing sacrifices Doctrinal Implications: Believers have peace with God because the work is already finished  No human merit or repeated ritual is needed for forgiveness  Faith rests entirely in Christ's completed work Pastoral Concern: The speaker urges churches to teach doctrine clearly and deeply, warning that weak teaching can lead people to misunderstand or abandon the biblical gospel. Conclusion:The central message is that Christ's death on the cross is fully sufficient and never repeated. Salvation is accomplished entirely by His finished work and received through faith alone.Bible Insights with  Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

In this episode of Bible Insights, Wayne Conrad explains the biblical doctrine of Christ's finished work on the cross, centering on Jesus' declaration, "It is finished" (tetelestai), as a proclamation that His atoning sacrifice fully satisfied God's wrath against sin. Drawing especially from Hebrews 9–10, he emphasizes that Christ offered Himself once for all—unlike the repeated sacrifices of the Old Testament priests—and, having completed His priestly work, now sits at the right hand of God. The podcast contrasts this teaching with the Roman Catholic doctrine of the Mass, particularly as defined at the Council of Trent, arguing that the idea of a repeated or ongoing propitiatory sacrifice contradicts Scripture. Highlighting the unity of the Protestant Reformers such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Ulrich Zwingli, Conrad affirms that salvation rests entirely on Christ's completed work and is received by faith alone, not by human merit or ritual. He concludes by urging the church to recover clear, robust doctrinal teaching so that believers may rest in the assurance and peace that flow from the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus Christ

In this special standalone message, we are honored to welcome our friend Dave Edwards to Bethlehem Church. In his message, "God Works," Dave explores how God uses the "bitter waters" of our lives to reveal His character and His power. Drawing from the journey of the Israelites in Exodus 15, Dave breaks down how God transitions us from rescue to renewal. We often want to skip the desert, but it's in the dry places that we learn God isn't just a bystander—He is an active worker in our hearts. Using the framework of the five key areas where God is constantly moving, this message will help you identify what He is doing in your life right now. As Philippians 2:13 reminds us, "It is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure."

The Finished Work of Christ Speaker: Andrew Johnson

John 19:28-30 28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” 29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Pastor Darrell preaches on John 12:12-15, Zechariah 9:8-10, and John 19:28-30. We understand Christ's triumphal entry when we understsand his triumphal exit, His finished work on the cross. "It is the infinite value of the finished work of Christ uppon the cross plus nothing that is the sole basis for the removal of our guilt and the bestowal of the same levle of worthiness as is possessed by Christ." -Francis Schaeffer

Day of Atonement: Two Goats and Jesus Christ Was the sacrifice of Jesus a "down payment" for salvation, or did it pay the debt in full? In this episode of Bible Insights, Wayne Conrad explores the profound relationship between the Old Testament Day of Atonement and its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. By comparing the "shadow" found in Leviticus 16 with the "substance" revealed in Hebrews 9, we examine how Jesus alone embodies the work typified by the two goats. We also dive into a theological contrast between the Reformed evangelical view of a finished atonement and the Seventh-day Adventist teaching regarding the role of the scapegoat. Key highlights include: The Finished Work: Why R.C. Sproul argued that "if we don't get the doctrine of atonement right, we don't have a gospel at all." Shadow vs. Reality: Understanding the biblical relationship between the rituals of Leviticus and the reality of the Cross. Atonement Defined: A look at why Christ's sacrifice provides actual and complete atonement rather than just a "possibility" for salvation. Join us as we search the Scriptures to find assurance in the "double cure" of Christ's finished work.

Send us a messageWhile the topic of the Rapture is hotly debated, the Scriptural truth behind it is certain, as is the Holy Spirit's discernment leading to readiness and the reward that awaits those who are longing for our Savior's appearing. But much more than that, it is a sacred proclamation the Finished Work of Christ on the Cross – the Power of His Shed Blood for the Remission of sins – and Redemption's Assurance that Blood Atonement Sacrifice has provided for those who have been purchased and sealed by it.In this message, Scriptural evidence will be granted with confirmation to that glorious assurance with the call to not only “Be Ready” but to be all the more diligent to proclaim the true Gospel of Jesus Christ to those still lost, while there is yet time to do so.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Jesus has already paid for your healing. You can rest in His finished work! He loves you so much and has restored and revived your life. We can release control and rest! The work is finished.

The Shape of Sin: Part 10 - The Finished Work Betson Christopher concludes our series with "The Shape of Sin - Part 10: The Finished Work". We'll explore how sin often disguises itself as a protective "cocoon", but quickly becomes a prison that holds you back from your true purpose. Today, we discover how to activate the power of the Holy Spirit and move from the courtroom of judgment into the Father's arms.

Worship is not just about what we do. It's about how we come before God.In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff Cranston and Tiffany continue the Practical Theology series by exploring four essential attitudes that shape true worship: joy, wholeheartedness, faith, and reverent fear.Many believers attend church, sing the songs, and participate in the service. Yet Scripture makes clear that God is not after outward performance. He looks at the heart. This conversation unpacks what it means to approach God with the right inner posture and how the Holy Spirit forms these attitudes in us as we draw near to Christ.What We Discussed02:10 Worship Is More Than SingingWorship is the offering of ourselves to God. Scripture calls us not only to worship, but to worship with the right heart.03:00 Joy and Gladness in WorshipPsalm 100 commands believers to come before the Lord with joy. This joy is a settled gladness rooted in the gospel and in what God has done for us.05:30 Joy Is Rooted in RedemptionChristians worship joyfully because they have been rescued, forgiven, and adopted. Worship flows from gratitude for grace.07:00 Wholeheartedness, Not Empty RoutineColossians 3:23 reminds us to do everything heartily as unto the Lord. Worship without heart becomes mechanical and insincere.10:15 Worship Requires FaithHebrews teaches that we draw near in full assurance of faith. Worship is grounded in confidence that we truly have access to God through Christ.11:30 Access Through the Finished Work of JesusOur confidence in worship does not come from how well we performed this week. It rests entirely on Christ's finished work on the cross.12:45 Reverent Fear and Holy AweBiblical fear is not terror. It is reverence, awe, and deep respect. Joy reminds us God is our Father. Reverence reminds us He is holy.14:30 Joy and Reverence Are Not OppositesTrue worship holds both together. We approach God with gladness and with humility, recognizing both His grace and His holiness.16:00 The Spirit Produces These AttitudesJoy, faith, sincerity, and reverence are not manufactured by willpower. They are cultivated by the Holy Spirit as we draw near to Christ.17:30 Preparing Your Heart Before SundayWorship begins before the service starts. Reflecting on the gospel, confessing sin, and quieting the heart prepares us to approach God thoughtfully and sincerely.19:00 Worship Is an OfferingEvery time we gather, we bring something invisible but precious: our heart. God sees it.“Worship is not a performance to evaluate. It is an offering we present to God.” – Pastor Jeff Cranston

The finished work of Christ on the Cross was a great achievement providing a perfect basis for our eternal salvation. On the Cross, Christ provided a perfect salvation for all men, so that we might be saved from sin and all its effects. It consists of 3 aspects: Propitiation (the God-ward aspect), Reconciliation (the man-ward aspect), and Redemption (the sin-ward aspect). We study these 3 aspects in detail, and point out that they are all accomplished in Christ, through His Blood, and only become effectual for us, when we receive Christ as our Lord and Saviour, for only then are we put (baptised) into Christ, where these truths become reality. Explore the significance of being made righteous through faith and how it enables us to walk in the fullness of God's grace.

Missionary Evangelist Robert Breaker talks about what it means to trust in the blood of Jesus.

On this episode of the CityLight Podcast, Pastor Mo confronts a subtle but dangerous drift in modern Christianity: turning relationship into performance. After a powerful time of worship centered on remembering God’s goodness, the message challenges the “professional Christian” mindset—the belief that spiritual disciplines earn closeness, favor, or validation from God. Through vivid biblical illustrations—from Moses striking the rock to the prodigal son—Pastor Mo reframes the gospel as grace-first intimacy. God’s love isn’t increased by your output, and obedience flows from identity, not insecurity. He warns against “professional intimacy” with God—doing all the right things while keeping the heart distant—and calls the church back to childlike trust, quick obedience, and living for an audience of One.(05:20) Worship: Remembering God’s Goodness(33:22) Weather, Worship, and Why We Gather(37:21) Don’t Be a Professional Christian(46:35) Moses and the Rock: Don’t Add to Jesus’ Finished Work(56:18) Garbage-Man Religion vs. Childlike Intimacy(01:07:28) Living for Applause vs. Audience of One(01:20:05) Obey Quickly, Especially in Secret(01:29:42) Stop Performing, Start Pursuinghttps://citylightnyc.com/ 

When Jesus hung on the cross, what did God the Father actually see? Most of us see a historical event where a Savior died for us, but the Bible reveals a deeper mystery: Jesus died as us. In this message, we dive into the "Spiritual Camera" of God to understand our true identity in Christ. We explore how Jesus, as the Last Adam, represented all of humanity—taking the punishment for every wrong you could ever do and nailing the requirements of the Law to the cross once and for all. In this video, you will learn: The Concept of Identification: Why you were "in the picture" during the crucifixion. The Roman Triumph: How God stripped the enemy of all authority and made a public spectacle of the forces of darkness. The End of Effort: Why no one is made right by obeying rules, but only through the Finished Work of Jesus. Real-World Authority: A powerful testimony of how the Name of Jesus stops the works of darkness in their tracks. Key Scriptures: Colossians 2:13-15, 2 Corinthians 5:19, Galatians 2:20, 1 John 5:14.

Essentials Part 3 – Incomplete Finished Work MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today, we delve into the profound mystery of the Trinity - One God, not three. We explore the eternal nature of God the Son, Jesus Christ, as revealed in John 1:1. The message walks us through Jesus' earthly ministry, from His incarnation to His ascension, reminding us of His ultimate role as King of Kings. We're challenged to reflect on how this understanding of Christ's divinity and sovereignty impacts our daily walk with Him. The Holy Spirit's role is also highlighted, emphasizing how He empowers us to commune with God and hear His voice amidst life's challenges. This message invites us to deepen our appreciation of the Trinity and how each person - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - works in perfect unity for our salvation and spiritual growth.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

What is modalism? How do I convince someone to abandon it in favor of the Trinity? I'm a newlywed, and I want my husband to understand the message of God's grace to the fullest. What can I do? My youth pastor seems to be teaching some things that don't quite align with the gospel. How can I handle that?

Downtown Campus Pastor, Leon Brooks III, explores Jude 24-25, which reveals that Jesus has the power to keep believers from stumbling in their faith and present them blameless before God. While some people fall away from Christianity, those who remain faithful can attribute their perseverance to Christ's keeping power. The key to avoiding spiritual stumbling lies in understanding that we stand before God not through our own righteousness, but through the finished work of Christ on the cross. Jesus endured the shame of crucifixion for the joy of our salvation, demonstrating His deep love for us. This creates a mutual love relationship that grows stronger over time when we surrender to Jesus as both Savior and Lord.
