Matt Maher joined us in the studio this morning to catch up, share some laughs and a new song. Before he came in, Dave was a little miffed about his deleted messages box not being empty in his email.  The messages from our Midweek Praise Break were awesome. This week we heard How Great Thou Art, Firm Foundation, and Blessed Assurance.  There were some humorous messages from 2nd graders when asked about their moms. And there's another humorous message from one mom on Instagram sharing...

Proverbs 3:5-10 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

If you lived in the ancient city of Ephesus, the most majestic structure that you would see on a daily basis would be the temple to the pagan goddess, Artemis. By all earthly standards, this temple was a magnificent structure. But if you were to ask your Christian neighbor, "What is the greatest structure in Ephesus?" He would no doubt answer, "Why of course, it's the church, the temple of the one, true, and living God. Let's go to worship and you can see for yourself!"  In Ephesians 2:20-22 the Apostle Paul describes the church as a holy temple in the Lord. In this episode of Proclaiming Christ, we consider the foundation, the materials, the builder, and the purpose of the grandest of all institutions, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ!

1 Corinthians 15:21, For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.”

John 12:12, The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: “Hosanna! ‘ Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' The King of Israel!”

Welcome to episode 196 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Psalms, covering chapter 49, a Psalm of Wisdom. Today, we will cover:- The wisdom shared in this psalm is universal, proverbial, and problematic.- The wisdom shared demonstrates that humanity has a problem, they have been ransomed by God for a price they can't pay.- The wisdom shared shows the negative, meaning it is folly to be confident in mans ability to save themselves.- True wisdom is faithful confidence in the Lord, who paid our ransom.Key takeaways:· The Main Point of this Psalm is to show “The Fatal Folly of Foolish Confidence.”· Christ followers can walk in the “Firm Foundation of Faithful Confidence.”Quotable:· “Why would the psalmist phrase it as ransom if no one can pay it?”· “The only one holding us ransom can also pay our ransom”· “The only one who can pay an eternal punishment is the one who is eternal.”· “The only one who can make us right is the one who is right.”Application:· You can only walk in Faithful confidence if you have faithful confidence.· Because of Christ:o We can now be confident in our righteousness.o We can now confidently enter Holy places.· Now we can walk in “Blessed Assurance.”Connect with us:Web site: https://springbaptist.orgFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)Need us to pray for you?

Cassandra Herman, LCDC, is a Substance Use Counselor at Positive Recovery whose journey into this field is as inspiring as it is personal. Cassandra's path has taken her from the outdoors of Michigan to radio broadcasting, living abroad and in Shanghai, running in 13 half marathons, and ultimately to the world of addiction recovery. Her deep commitment to faith, family, and personal growth has shaped her perspective, not just as a mother who walked alongside a child struggling with addiction but as a professional who now helps others navigate their own path to healing.  In this episode, host Jamie Demeris sits down with Cassandra to explore the layers of strength and purpose that define her story—the endurance of a marathon runner, the unwavering love of a mother, the clarity of a morning mindset, and the deep belief in faith and positive psychology as tools for transformation. Together, they dive into what resilience really looks like in daily life, how small habits and intentional movement can spark lasting change, and the ways families can support loved ones through addiction without losing connection. This conversation is a powerful reminder that recovery isn't just about surviving—it's about creating a life where you can truly flourish! Topics Discussed: Focusing on what you gain rather than what you give up Shifting from a victim mindset to an empowered mindset  How agency and positive daily habits lead to long-term recovery Focusing on character strengths and recognizing that joy is internal The difference between resilience and post-traumatic growth How connection builds the foundation for long-term change --- CHAPTERS:  00:00 Introduction to Positive Recovery MD 01:11 Meet Cassandra Herman: A Journey of Resilience 03:27 Cassandra's Radio Broadcasting Experience 05:34 The Power of Morning Routines 10:15 Cassandra's Path to Recovery Counseling 17:30 The Importance of Choice in Recovery 28:55 Focusing on Positivity in Recovery 29:35 The Role of Faith and Habit in Recovery 31:21 Building a Firm Foundation in Early Recovery 32:25 The Importance of Community and Long-Term Growth 35:39 Mindset and Physical Challenges 41:06 Living Abroad: Experiences in Shanghai 44:32 Navigating Family Challenges and Personal Growth 47:30 Reflections on Recovery and Life's Purpose 53:29 Conclusion and Final Thoughts --- Connect with PRC on Social: IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters  FB: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters  TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg   Want even more expert insights and support on the recovery journey?

Listen to the Message From Sunday, March 16, 2025 "New Creation Realities", Part Three, "Your Ministry of Reconciliation"   Podcast Summary: God Takes Care of His Own In Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute (Talk #162), Dr. Bryan Hudson explores the theme that God takes care of His own, drawing from 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. He explains that being a follower of Christ is more than adopting a religion—it is an invitation into God's family. The message highlights the concept of redemption, emphasizing that believers were bought at a price—the life of Jesus Christ. This transformation is not achieved through human effort or religious rituals but through a change of ownershipfrom darkness to light, from sin to righteousness, and from the devil's possession to belonging to God. Dr. Hudson reminds listeners that glorifying God is not just a spiritual act but involves how we live daily—our habits, thoughts, and actions. He draws a parallel between how people care for their own possessions and how God, as our owner, lovingly takes care of us. Referencing 2 Corinthians 5:18, he highlights the ministry of reconciliation, explaining that just as believers have been reconciled to God, they are called to share the gospel and help others return to God. The power of salvation lies in the message of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. The episode closes with an invitation to listen to Dr. Hudson's New Creation Realities, Part Three: Your Ministry of Reconciliation, available via his blog and YouTube.

Listen to the Message From Sunday, March 9, 2025 "New Creation Realities", Part Two: "All Things of God"   Summary: "All Things of God" – Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute #161 This talk emphasizes the biblical truth that when a person is in Christ, they become a new creation—old things pass away, and all things become new (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). The speaker highlights that believers do not have a “timeshare” relationship with God; rather, He owns our entire lives because He has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ. Key points include: Total Ownership by God: Salvation, blessings, grace, and provision all come from Him. Believers belong fully to God, as stated in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. The Price of Redemption: Jesus gave His whole life to save us, so in return, we should fully dedicate ourselves to Him. Understanding Our New Creation: The greatest blessings, purpose, and provision come when we accept that we belong to God and trust Him fully.

Summary of the Message by Dr. Bryan Hudson by OpenAI In this special edition of the Firm Foundation Podcast, recorded at Wheeler Mission Ministries, Dr. Bryan Hudson teaches from 2 Corinthians 5:17, emphasizing the concept of New Creation Realities—the transformation that occurs when a person is in Christ. Key Points: New Creation in Christ When someone is in Christ, they are not just improved but entirely transformed. Old things (sin, pride, and past failures) pass away, and all things become new—not new things, but a renewed life and mindset. Personal Testimony of Transformation Dr. Hudson shares his own salvation story (July 8, 1978), when his pride was broken after a disappointing art exhibit experience. That moment led him to seek Jesus, and he experienced instant peace, replacing the mental chaos he once lived with. The Importance of Being ‘In Christ' He emphasizes that being in Christ is the starting point for true solutions in life. Salvation doesn't immediately fix all problems, but God begins the process of transformation in every aspect—spiritual, mental, financial, and emotional. The Process of Change Three Aspects of Transformation: Rebirth – Being born again spiritually. Restoration – God removes the rust of past sins and habits, much like restoring an old car. Transformation – A caterpillar-to-butterfly type of change, from crawling to flying. Practical Application Accountability is crucial—having godly brothers who ask how you're really doing helps keep you strong. Breaking free from old influences—some friendships and environments must be left behind to truly live a renewed life. Renewing the Mind (Romans 12:2) is necessary to sustain transformation. Encouragement to Fully Receive Christ Simply accepting Jesus isn't enough; one must receive Him into their life. A powerful prayer of salvation is given, inviting those who want to truly commit to Christ. Final Encouragement Change begins with you—"When you change, your circumstances change." The mission of Wheeler Ministries isn't just to provide shelter but to help men become better versions of themselves through Christ. Dr. Hudson concludes with a blessing and encouragement, urging the listeners to embrace their new identity in Christand continue growing spiritually.

Listen to the Message From Sunday, March 2, 2025 "New Creation Realities", Part One "All Things New"   Key Verse: 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” Summary: Being in Christ is the foundation of transformation. This verse is a statement of fact, hope, and a solution to life's struggles. In programming terms, it's like an "if-then" statement—if anyone is in Christ, then they are made new. This transformation isn't just an improvement of the old but a complete renewal, similar to a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. Though outwardly the same, a believer's heart and spirit are regenerated, leading to a new way of living. Encouragement: Thank God for making you a new creation. Let go of old habits, sins, and mindsets that have passed away. Embrace and focus on the new spiritual reality in Christ.  

To conclude our series, "A Firm Foundation," Pastor Phil Moster and Pastor Justin Carlton discuss some of the theological particulars that we teach and where we find the basis for them in the Bible. 

A Firm Foundation | Pastor Shawn McGill

Join us in our new series, A Firm Foundation. In this sermon, Pastor Jeremy talks about worship and how it's more than just music.

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function.     We are never in a position where we need to be conceited, brag, or try to “show off” to impress others. You are already exactly the person that God had in mind!   In a world where people are confused about their identity and sometimes seek to assume the identity of others such as celebrities, we have the opportunity to discover our unique “measure of faith.” Your measure of faith is the abilities, assignments, and opportunities God has made available to you. God has given everything you need to serve Him.   One of the great blessings of serving God is summed up in the phrase, “where God guides He provides.” It is truly amazing how God can provide faith and provision for everything He wants you to do. It is also amazing that our individual gifting results in stronger coordination and collaboration as the body of Christ. We are a team and a family, each having individual responsibility resulting in the fulfillment of greater collective purpose.   REFLECTION QUESTION: What is your measure of faith?   Key insight I gained today:   Today's action item based on insight:

DAY #12:  From Suffering to Glory Revealed   Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.    It is very important to have proper perspective in life. How we perceive our life can determine our reality and influence our circumstances. The Apostle Paul endured a lot of suffering–much more than most of us will endure in a lifetime. Suffering and difficulties have a way of reshaping our thinking and putting us into a negative mindset, if we allow it. That's the danger of suffering, not only what we're going through (which will pass!) but the false sense that the suffering is defining our life.   Paul states that the sufferings of the present time cannot be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us.    Here is the key: Focus on what God is revealing...not on the suffering!   I've come to understand that the revealing of that glory is not only later in heaven, but a lot of that glory happens now while we are yet on earth.  That glory is not some "glory cloud" or other temporary manifestation. God's glory is His purpose and presence revealed in and through your life.   God has the unique ability to turn “ashes into beauty.” He will transform our darkness to light.   REFLECTION QUESTION: What glory is being revealed in you?   Key insight I gained today:   Today's action item based on insight:

We could not have known the message of the gospel unless God had recorded it for us in the Bible. Join us as we examine 5 essential Bible words: revelation, inspiration, preservation, interpretation, and application as we continue our series, "A Firm Foundation."

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture. From celebrity chaos to societal decay, it's clear—without God, the world spirals into total confusion and sin. We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ. Jesus is the only sane way forward, ladies and gentlemen.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-copy?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=tbs_thebiblestudy_searchads-nixwdmd&tw_source=google&tw_adid=608801073541&tw_campaign=17672311083&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC-_2dRN1WU6lhTaWFNApFgzBkVe_&gclid=CjwKCAiAwaG9BhAREiwAdhv6Y_Xc6w4LM7_4otTu1-XgzYjKKwhwbNBCdqLFVTDdXToND7Rt6JU2hBoC3hsQAvD_BwE
