Still Waters Psalm 23 (Part 3) Psalm 23 “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.” Today I will talk about the last part of this Psalm. There is a lot to like about this ending.  First. It starts by saying that God will prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.  I don't have to be worried about my enemies as God has got me.  He is my shield and my refuge.  Now he is saying we will prepare a feast for me.  When someone is preparing a meal for us, they are not usually stressed out about it.  They don't worry about all the things going on around them.  Picture this, there is chaos all around you, and yet in front of you is this beautifully set up dining room table.  You have a seat and God is bringing you a feast one course at a time.  He is not concerned with your enemies because He knows they can't touch you.  You are not concerned either because you feel so at home and taken care of.  Isn't that a beautifully relaxing image?   Next, the verse says that God honors us by anointing our heads with oil.  Did you know that you have an anointing on your life?  We all do. Did you know through baptism you were anointed to be priest, prophet, and king?   It's true, just as Christ was all three of these, you are also anointed to be these three things to your community.  What does that mean for us?   Let's start with the priest.  Drawing on the priesthood of the Old Testament, a priest is one who offers sacrifices (see Genesis 14:18; Exodus 29:38- 42; Leviticus 23:6,8). Some sacrifices are personal, and some are on behalf of others. These sacrifices will look different for each one of us depending on our circumstances.  However, sacrifice to some degree should be a part of our everyday life.  I have tried to embrace this in different ways over the years. At times I did a bread and water fast one day a week. Other times I would fast from one thing for a whole month. I would switch it up each month, but there will always be something I am fasting from.  I believe that this helps me to appreciate things more and it will also show me that I am not a slave to that thing.  For instance, if I feel like I just can't stop eating chocolate, then I will fast from that for a month.  By the end of the year, I will have shown God and myself that I do not need these things.  I will have also made a small sacrifice each month for 12 months. Next, we have prophet.  A prophet is a spokesperson for God or one who speaks on God's behalf (see Exodus 4:30; Deuteronomy 18:18; Isaiah 42:19). In the Old and New Testaments, prophets called people to a different way of life.  Can we be a spokesperson for God by how we live our lives?  Can we live in a way that when people see us they think to themselves, “I want what they have?”  Can we call others to a different way of life, not necessarily with our words, but with our love?  Can we love others as Jesus did? Can we speak love and light into the world, into people's lives?  Can we be prophets? Lastly, we are anointed as kings.  What are kings called to do? Usually rule over others.  We are called to rule over ourselves first and foremost. We are all responsible for making sure we are living our lives according to God's laws.  Most kings are called to rule over others, however, as Christians, we are called to servant leadership.  A servant leader leads by serving others. In other words, servant leaders place the interests and needs of their followers ahead of their own self-interests and needs. Generally, they value the development of their followers, building their communities, acting authentically, and sharing power. Now that we know what each one of these means, hopefully, we can apply this to our everyday life.  God has anointed us in our everyday tasks too.  For instance, I was anointed to be a mother and a wife.  That was where God called me and that is what He set me apart to do.  Maybe you are anointed to be a doctor, a lawyer, a pharmacy tech, a garbage collector, a grandmother, a teacher, whatever it is, God has anointed you to do it.  Your baptismal anointing is not meant to replace any of those other calls on your life.  You are anointed to be a priest, prophet, and king in the life you are already living.  Think about your day-to-day life, how can you incorporate sacrifice into your days?  How can you be more of a prophet spreading the Lord's Word in your daily lives?  How can you be more of a servant leader right now, right where you are? The verse then goes on to say my cup overflows with blessings.  This is also great imagery.  I love to picture a teacup, as we grew up drinking tea in my family.  Although I don't picture a regular tea cup, the image I am getting is an English fancy tea cup from a china set.  The tea is being poured into it with a steady stream and the cup is overflowing and running all over the table and even onto the floor.  This is how many blessings God has for you. He wants to rain down blessings upon blessings on all of His children.  Sometimes we get in the way of God's blessings.  Sometimes we don't appreciate the blessings that we have so why would God give us more?  Sometimes we find ourselves complaining about all that is going on in our lives instead of praising God and giving thanksgiving.  God has ridiculous blessings for you.  All you have to do is believe that and then praise God for any blessings, even if they are small.  If you can be faithful to the small He will increase your blessings.  He is a good, good Father! The ending of this verse is beautiful.  “Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.”  We had this word pursue the other day.  I love that word.  This verse is saying that God's goodness and unfailing love will pursue us all the days of our lives.  Isn't that wonderful?  We don't have to chase after God, because He is already chasing after us.  All we have to do is let ourselves be caught by God's goodness and unfailing love.  Unfailing love is not like any love we can find here on earth.  It is an incredible love that knows no limits, that knows no boundaries.  God's love never leaves us.  No matter how much we may try to run from it.  No matter how much we try to reject it or send it back.  No matter how much we might mess up.  God's unfailing love will pursue you every single day of your life.  How incredible is that?   And the very last part of the verse says, “I will live in the house of the Lord forever.”  Yes, please!  I want to live in the house of the Lord forever. I think we all do.  It is so amazing to me that God has an open-door policy to heaven.  All are welcome.  Come as you are, in your broken and wounded state.  You do not have to earn your way, you don't have to do anything to get there.  Jesus has earned you your right to be there.  All you have to do is surrender to God and let Him help you, let Him give you the strength to follow Him.  Following God is not always an easy road but it is a rewarding road and one that leads to spending eternity living in the house of the Lord.   Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening today.  Lord, we thank you for loving us like you do.  We thank you for preparing us for a feast in the presence of our enemies.  We thank you for the ridiculous blessings you want to give us and we are sorry if we get in your way of doing that.  We thank you for making us priests, prophets, and kings and we ask for your help in discovering what that means for each one of us and how we can incorporate that anointing into our lives.  We love you Lord and we can't wait to live in your house forever!  We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  I look forward to bringing you another witness tomorrow.  It will be an update from my friend Bruce. I have shared his story at least twice, and we have a new update coming tomorrow. Mentoring is tonight, so email me if you would like to check it out!

After decades of faithfully serving as Vice President for Advancement at Indiana Wesleyan University, Terry Munday has seen firsthand how generosity, obedience, and relationships shape both institutions and eternal lives. In this compelling conversation, Terry reflects on a calling that led him from public education into Christian higher education fundraising, often requiring personal sacrifice, long-term trust, and spiritual courage. Through stories marked by humor, heartbreak, and unmistakable miracles, he reveals how fundraising, when rooted in faith, becomes far more than raising money. It becomes ministry.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.     ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless. --------------------------------------------------------

Following God often means crossing lines we've never crossed and facing challenges we've never faced. In the book of Joshua, God leads his people from promise into possession, calling them to trust him completely and obey him faithfully. This story walks through moments of bold faith, costly obedience, unexpected setbacks, and decisive victories, revealing what it truly means to be strong and courageous. As we study Joshua together, we'll discover that courage isn't found in our own strength, but in the unchanging faithfulness of God — the God who keeps his promises, goes before his people, and invites us to follow wherever he leads.

Send a textIn this episode, we break down the three primary ways God speaks and how to keep them in healthy balance. When you learn to listen in all three lanes, you make wiser decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and move forward with both faith and clarity. 

Most Christians don't know how to talk about Jesus. They know they ought to share their faith, but evangelism methods feel awkward and pushy. Feeling guilty and discouraged, many believers simply avoid the subject altogether. But what if there was a simple, normal way to introduce people to Jesus, without sounding like you're selling something? David McIver shares from his book "Looking for the One: Stories of Seeing the Lost, Lonely, and Broken Through the Eyes of Jesus."  Check out Susie's new podcast God Impressions on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

What does real repentance actually look like? In 2 Kings 6–7, King Jehoram tears his clothes and wears sackcloth. On the outside, it looks like humility. It looks like repentance. It looks like sorrow. But is his heart truly broken before God? In this powerful episode, we walk through one of the most intense passages in Scripture. A city under siege. Famine so severe it turns horrific. A king who appears repentant. And yet, beneath the outward display, something else is happening in his heart. This message confronts a hard but necessary question: Are we truly surrendered to God, or are we trying to follow a formula to get what we want? We'll explore: The difference between true repentance and religious performanceWhy outward sorrow does not always mean inward surrenderThe danger of saying, “Why should I wait on the Lord any longer?”What Luke 8 reveals about the soil of our heartsWhy God's timing tests our trust This is a word for the Church right now. It is also a word for each of us personally. Truth exposes. But truth also sets us free.

Have you ever looked at people who ignore God, who lie, cheat, and look out only for themselves, and realized they seem to be doing better than you are? If you have ever asked, "Why do the wicked prosper while I struggle to do the right thing?" this video is for you.In this episode, we open up Psalm 73, arguably the most honest chapter in the Bible about spiritual burnout. We meet Asaph, a worship leader who almost quit the faith because he was tired of seeing "bad" people win. We explore the raw reality of envy and faith, asking the hard question: Is following Jesus actually worth it when the world feels so unfair?We won't offer you empty clichés. Instead, we'll look at how shifting your perspective, entering "the sanctuary", changes everything. You'll learn how to handle the bitterness of Christian discouragement and discover that while the wicked might have "the good life" for a moment, you have something they can never buy: a God who holds your hand even when you are angry at Him.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - WHEN LIFE FEELS UNFAIR (THE QUESTION)0:40 - PSALM 73 & ASAPH'S JOURNEY (DOUBT TO CLARITY)1:13 - THE SOCIAL MEDIA HIGHLIGHT-REEL TRAP1:26 - “WHAT'S THE POINT?” (ASAPH'S CRISIS)1:58 - THE TURNING POINT: “UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY”2:35 - STEP INTO YOUR SANCTUARY (PRAYER, WORSHIP, SCRIPTURE)2:46 - A PERSONAL NOTE: DISAPPOINTMENT, BUSYNESS, IMMATURE FAITH3:03 - THE CURTAIN PULLED BACK (THE WICKED'S FRAGILE END)3:30 - WORSHIP RECENTERS THE SOUL (GOD'S JUSTICE & MERCY)4:04 - GOD'S GRIP OF GRACE (HE HOLDS YOUR RIGHT HAND)4:34 - GOD THE STRENGTH OF MY HEART (PORTION FOREVER)5:21 - “WHOM HAVE I IN HEAVEN BUT YOU” (NEAR GOD IS THE GREATEST GOOD)5:38 - WHAT PSALM 73 LOOKS LIKE TOMORROW (PRACTICAL STEPS)6:24 - ANCHOR YOUR SOUL (TRIALS, WORSHIP, TRUE PROSPERITY)7:01 - CLOSING & SHARE / SUBSCRIBE / RESOURCES (BINMIN.ORG)JOIN the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Many are seeking God's face in the wrong way. Sadly, if we do not educate ourselves on the Lord's instructions, in the Bible, we will not see progress in our lives. God hears all of our prayers. If we are not praying God's Will be done, our prayers are not hitting the Throne Room.You see, only the fervent (white hot) prayers of the righteous availeth much (James 5:16). If you are not submitted to God (James 4:7) and saved (Romans 10:9), that is the first step. Following God's instructions and not our own is the second step. Why? Because when you become saved, while you believed God raised Jesus from the dead, you are also required to confess Jesus as your Lord (Romans 10:9). So Jesus is now leading you in your life. Your life is not your own; you have been bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20). Similar to an employee of a company, where there is a boss: the employee has to follow the rules, it is no longer what the employee wants any longer. Well, the same applies to the Lord's Kingdom, except the Lord paid a very great price for you, and loves you, both far more than any company would have paid for you. Not only this, the Grace of God actually allows you enjoy serving Him and there is no longer a separation between you and your Creator because Jesus has paid your punishment, in your stead... instead of you.Topics this week:- If you're not submitted to God that is half the problem- If you are still doing things your way, then you are not submitted to Jesus (James 4:7)- God's Ways are Higher- Only God's Word accomplishes and does not return void- Serving the devil and praying to Jesus will not get you breakthrough with the Lord- God prepares the Way for you when you live, pray, study, acknowledge, and do His WillThis program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalms 34:14-19, 1 John 4:15-17, Luke 22:41-44, Joshua 24:15, Proverbs 5:21-23, Proverbs 15:3, Psalms 24:3-6, James 4:7-10, Proverbs 14:8-12, Proverbs 21:2-8,Proverbs 21:1, Isaiah 55:6-9, 1 John 4:15-17, Isaiah 55:1-3.Pastor Catrice teaches this this week.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Following God means trusting Him to be our source for everything. As we study Genesis 14 and Abraham's story, Pastor Josh unpacks how Abraham's ultimate choice to seek God led to blessing - even after a series of mistakes.February 1, 2026

What do you do when you obey God—and the path He leads you on is uncomfortable?In this message from Follow: The Exodus Story, we continue Israel's journey beyond the Red Sea and into the wilderness. Though God has delivered His people from slavery, the road ahead quickly becomes hard. Thirst, hunger, and frustration test their faith, revealing a deeper struggle—not with circumstances, but with trust in God's character.Walking through Exodus 15–16, Pastor Tommy shows us that the wilderness is not a mistake but a place of transformation. God leads His redeemed people into seasons of testing to reshape their hearts, deepen their dependence, and teach them how to trust Him daily. From bitter waters made sweet to manna falling from heaven, we see that God's provision is designed to form trust—not independence—and that true faith culminates in rest and remembrance.This passage reminds us that redemption may be immediate, but transformation is progressive. The God who parts seas is the same God who faithfully provides daily bread—and invites His people to follow Him one day at a time.Scripture Covered:Exodus 15:22–27; Exodus 161 Corinthians 10:1–13John 6:31–35Hebrews 3:7–15#FollowTheExodus#BookOfExodus#FaithInTheWilderness#DailyDependence#TrustGod#BiblicalTeaching#ChristianSermon#GodOurProvider

Following God is supposed to make life clearer—but sometimes it does the opposite. You take a step of obedience, and instead of feeling safer, everything feels more uncertain. This message looks at a story in the Bible about Gideon, a man who faced that same tension. As he obeys God, the path forward doesn't get easier—it gets riskier. Through his story, we see why fear isn't a sign you've missed God, and what it actually looks like to trust Him when the outcome isn't in your control.

Join us this week as we discuss the new year, new music, and walking into new seasons. 

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of helping your kids see the world the way God does? Or maybe parenting leaves you feeling a little disoriented—like you're spinning upside-down? You're not alone. We all love our kids and want them to have a flourishing faith and embrace God's upside-down Kingdom.  Today, we're honored to have Matt Jones and Janel Greig on the show. They are co-hosts of Summit's newest podcast: Upside-Down Parenting! In the podcast, they offer practical insights, biblical wisdom, and encouragement to help you navigate the tough times and everyday challenges of parenting. If parenting sometimes feels upside-down, that's okay. Following God's design often is upside-down compared to the world around us—and that's exactly what makes it so powerful.

Read Online“The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. That is why the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath” Mark 2:27–28Today's Gospel should console those who struggle with a legalistic and scrupulous mindset. This is an easy trap to fall into for those who desire to keep God's commandments and remain faithful to His holy will. Despite the best intentions, it's easy for those who are deeply sincere in their fidelity to God to misunderstand how best to please and glorify Him. One common trap is to think that meticulous observance of the external Law is sufficient. While obedience to God's Law is essential, it is equally important to understand the authentic requirements of His Law—what it truly demands and what it does not.Today's Gospel takes place toward the beginning of Jesus' public ministry, after He had named His Twelve Apostles and begun preaching and healing. As they walked to another town on the Sabbath so Jesus could continue His mission, they passed through a field. The Apostles, being hungry, forged a path through the grain and picked some of it to eat. When the Pharisees saw them doing this, they seized the opportunity to condemn them, saying, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?” (Mark 2:24).Without getting too philosophical, it's important to understand what we call God's Eternal Law. The Eternal Law encompasses reality—physical, moral, and spiritual truths. All that God has established as true must be our guide through life. The goal of the evil one is to deceive us by leading us into a false understanding of that reality.Traditionally, the Eternal Law has been divided into two distinct aspects: the Natural and Divine Laws. The Divine Law is all that is known only through divine revelation—all that the Scriptures reveal, especially through Christ's humanity and mission. The Natural Law, on the other hand, is written upon creation itself, including our own human nature. Natural Law is written on our consciences and discerned through reason. For example, we instinctively know it is wrong to lie, steal, and murder. Though God's Divine Law confirms this through the Ten Commandments, these basic moral truths are already evident to us when we reflect clearly.In today's Gospel, the Apostles' actions were perfectly aligned with right reason—the Natural Law—showing how their choices reflected God's design for human flourishing. They were eating grain as they journeyed with Jesus so He could continue His mission. Their need for sustenance, especially while in service to Christ, took precedence over rigid legalistic interpretations of the Sabbath. The Pharisees, however, mistook the Sabbath for an end in itself. They focused solely on external observance and failed to understand that the Sabbath was instituted as a gift for humanity—a day for rest, worship, and renewal in communion with God.What's freeing and beautiful to note is that the Natural Law, written on our human reason, and the Divine Law, revealed through the Scriptures, are in perfect harmony. Both flow from God. Through His mission, Jesus shows us how the Divine Law elevates and perfects the Natural Law, orienting both toward love and mercy. The Pharisees' legalism obscured this harmony, reducing the Law to a burdensome set of rules rather than as a pathway to life and freedom.Reflect today on your own approach to God's Law. If you find it burdensome, reevaluate your thinking. Properly understood and embraced, God's Law is not a weight; it's the source of freedom. The Sabbath, in particular, invites us to rest and trust in God's providence. When we live according to the Eternal Law—both Natural and Divine—we discover harmony within our souls that refreshes and elevates us. Resolve to follow God's Law with love, avoiding both scrupulosity and laxity, and you will find the freedom and joy for which you were created.Divine Law-Giver, all that You have spoken and established is Truth. You are the Source of Truth and Truth Itself. Please free me from both laxity and scrupulosity as I strive to live in accord with Your will. May I find in Your Law the pathway to freedom and joy. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Following God often means crossing lines we've never crossed and facing challenges we've never faced. In the book of Joshua, God leads his people from promise into possession, calling them to trust him completely and obey him faithfully. This story walks through moments of bold faith, costly obedience, unexpected setbacks, and decisive victories, revealing what it truly means to be strong and courageous. As we study Joshua together, we'll discover that courage isn't found in our own strength, but in the unchanging faithfulness of God — the God who keeps his promises, goes before his people, and invites us to follow wherever he leads.

We're kicking off a brand new two-week marriage and relationships series called “Tighten the Knot.” In this message, Pastor Sean King sets the foundation by addressing why relationships are often so difficult and how God's original design offers a better way forward. Starting in Genesis, Pastor Sean walks us through God's vision for relationships, how sin distorted that design, and why our choices matter. This message contrasts the pattern of the world with the biblical pattern for relationships, marriage, sexuality, and identity, reminding us that sanctification is a process God invites us into with grace and patience. Whether you're married, single, dating, or hoping to be someday, this message offers biblical wisdom, practical truth, and hope for restoration. God's design is not meant to shame us, but to lead us toward freedom, healing, and wholeness. We pray this message encourages and equips you as you pursue Christ-centered relationships. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online00:13 – Opening interaction and introduction00:33 – Pastor Sean introduces himself and marriage background01:00 – Relationships are hard and real-life humor01:46 – Relationship goals and the reality of marriage02:21 – Introducing the “Tighten the Knot” series02:43 – Why this series is for everyone03:06 – Upcoming messages and marriage conference03:50 – God's original design in Genesis05:01 – “You are very good” – identity in creation05:54 – The fall and broken relationships06:54 – Choices dictate outcomes07:46 – Sanctification and working back toward God's design08:38 – Christ-centered relationships as a no-lose proposition09:29 – Following God's pattern vs culture's pattern10:01 – God's patience and grace10:30 – The enemy's tactics against relationships11:00 – Culture vs Scripture11:33 – Romans 12:2 and resisting cultural patterns12:11 – Comparing two relationship patterns12:40 – Culture's view of sexuality13:45 – Biblical teaching on sexuality (1 Corinthians 6)14:59 – Identity, shame, and forgiveness15:40 – God's design for unity in marriage16:35 – Marriage as God's intentional design17:55 – Shame, separation, and restoration18:39 – Choices leading toward or away from God19:51 – The grace and forgiveness of Jesus20:24 – Culture's view of marriage20:45 – Self-first vs servant-hearted love21:39 – Happiness vs joy in marriage22:45 – Hardship and enduring love23:14 – 1 Corinthians 13 and biblical love24:05 – Encouragement for healing and restoration25:00 – Prayer for forgiveness and renewal26:21 – Invitation to restoration and healing26:58 – Relationship survey introduction29:01 – Survey instructions and purpose34:04 – Encouragement from survey results34:53 – Invitation to become marriage mentors35:35 – Closing and dismissal

Our Bible Reading of the Day is Exodus 12:1-32. God, through Moses, threatens one final plague—worse than any previously experienced. Following God's instructions, the Israelites make careful preparations for the Passover, marking their doorposts with the blood of a lamb prepared for the feast. The final plague takes place at midnight as all the firstborn throughout Egypt die. The Egyptians hand over their valuables, hastening the Israelites away.Jesus Christ, the true Lamb of God, was slain for our sins. By His blood, we are protected from the eternal wrath of God and promised the gift of eternal life.

Numbers 9:15–23 Following God often means moving without a map. In this message, we look at Israel's journey in the wilderness and how God led His people not with a plan, but with His presence. We'll learn what it looks like to stay open, responsive, and willing to follow God—whether He says move or stay.

I've had several conversations with people recently where they've asked about how Anna and I started this ministry. As we look at a new year, and new resolutions, I want to talk through what it looks like for us to follow where God leads in 2026. Show Notes: 

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 14, 2025) As we bring our study of the Book of Nehemiah to a close, we are examining the leadership of Nehemiah. Remember, Nehemiah was not a prophet or a priest, but a lay member of Israel’s congregation. He didn’t have a special calling on his life,...

The Rebirth of Wonder | A Sermon for Epiphany In this sermon, we reflect on The Rebirth of Wonder and the invitation of Epiphany to see the world—and God's work within it—with renewed awe, curiosity, and openness. This sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Lewis Galloway on January 4, 2026, at First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte, on the Second Sunday of Christmas and Epiphany. The scripture readings for this message are Isaiah 60:1–6 and Matthew 2:1–12. Drawing from the story of the Magi, this sermon suggests that anxiety often takes root when wonder is lost—and that God does not always relieve our fear by giving us certainty, but by giving us light enough for the next faithful step. Epiphany invites us to follow that light, even when the path leads beyond what we can control or fully understand. Wonder widens our vision, restores imagination, and opens us again to trust that God is still at work in the world and in our lives. In this message, we explore: How wonder expands faith when anxiety narrows it The Magi as models of curiosity, courage, and attentiveness Following God's light without needing certainty or control Epiphany as an invitation to ongoing discovery and trust Whether you are joining us from Charlotte or beyond, this sermon offers a thoughtful and hope-filled reflection on how God's light restores wonder—and how wonder, in turn, helps steady anxious hearts and reorient us toward hope.

In this episode of Outlaw God, Dr. Stephen Paulson and Caleb Keith look into the themes of mysticism, the nature of God's law, and the relationship between humanity and the divine. They explore the story of Moses in the cleft of the rock, discussing how this narrative illustrates the complexities of knowing God and the implications of the law. The conversation also touches on the teachings of Gregory of Nyssa and Pseudo-Dionysius, highlighting their differing views on the law's role in the believer's life. Ultimately, the episode examines how Luther critiques these perspectives and introduces the concept of 'subcontrario' as a means of understanding God's favor through the law.

Psalm 25

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike shares the number one reason he believes in Christianity. Quite simply, if someone said, ‘Mike, you have five minutes to convince me Christianity is true,' the answer would be this: it works. Following God changes every part of your life for the better. It brings purpose, peace, forgiveness, and hope—not because life becomes easy, but because God transforms the heart. Christianity isn't just something to believe; it's something to live, and when it's lived, it changes everything.

Hi Guys! This weeks episode is amazing and really has touched my heart. I am so grateful and blessed to share this with you all.

I believe that God is going to shift our hearts during this transition and prepare us for whats to come and all the healing that he has in store but know you're not alone in the in between!

Following God does not always mean understanding God.  In fact, following God can lead us away from comfort, conformity, and communities we once loved. Few people are living that story more authentically than my guest Nancy French. She is a New York Times bestselling ghostwriter who has a dramatic story of her very own. Nancy has been abused and alienated by the people she trusted most, yet she's continued to show up to her life and to the good/hard work God has for her.I adore this woman and the way she's navigating the complex landscape of her life. In our conversation, she was so generous to share how she's reconciling loving God more than ever even when the church confuses her, how she's pursuing unity with people who see the world differently, and how she's raising resilient kids.
