In her sermon, Shari uses the metaphor of the Camino de Santiago—a long spiritual pilgrimage—to illustrate the Christian journey of moving continually toward peace and away from chaos. She reflects on her own experience walking the Camino, emphasizing that the daily, intentional choices made on the trail mirror the spiritual decisions we make in life. Life, like the Camino, is not static. Everything is always in motion—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Shari ties this constant movement to the second law of thermodynamics, highlighting humanity's natural tendency toward disorder unless we intentionally choose otherwise. Spiritually, we're always moving toward either peace (shalom: wholeness, well-being, safety) or chaos (slavery, disorder, retaliation). Shari contrasts biblical peace with today's culture of “my truth” and ethical relativism, which echo the times of the Judges when "everyone did what was right in their own eyes." She argues that freedom in Christ means intentionally choosing the path that leads to peace, even when it is counterintuitive or difficult. The lie from the Garden of Eden—that we are the exception to the rule—still misleads us today. We often believe we can harbor resentment, avoid forgiveness, or justify sin without consequences. Shari emphasizes that choosing chaos—like revenge, bitterness, and pride—leads us back into spiritual slavery. Through examples from both Scripture (Gideon, the Exodus, Judges) and literature (Nietzsche's philosophy, Crime and Punishment, Macbeth, Hamlet, East of Eden), she shows how refusing to forgive, holding onto bitterness, or believing ourselves exempt from consequences always results in suffering. Forgiveness, though often seen as illogical or undeserved, is the path to freedom. She tells real-life stories—like her friend Bob who justifies meanness because “they started it”—to show how childish and harmful these justifications are. True peace begins with us, not with others. We often claim we want peace but refuse to let go of pride, pain, or perceived justice to get it. Shari closes by urging the congregation to choose the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—as the “good fruit” in contrast to Adam and Eve's wrong choice. Like the biblical figures and literary characters she referenced, we too stand at a crossroads daily: toward peace and freedom in Christ, or chaos and slavery in sin. The Gospel gives us the power through the Holy Spirit to undo our wrong choices and walk “The Way” that leads to true peace. Discussion Questions Shari says we often believe “we are the exception to the rule.” How have you seen that idea play out in your own life or culture? What does the word “shalom” (biblical peace) mean to you? How is it different from simply not fighting or being calm? Are there any areas in your life where you are choosing chaos (bitterness, revenge, pride) instead of peace? What would it look like to choose differently? Who is someone in your life that you feel “started it”? What would it take for you to forgive them anyway? Which of the fruits of the Spirit do you most need to grow in right now to walk in peace? What's one practical way you could pursue it this week?
Covenant Affirmations: The Reality of Freedom in Christ | Pastor Jeremiah Fair
Are you letting God lead you? Discussion Questions: How often do you think about the concept of letting God free you? React to this statement: God has freed me, so I can walk free! Which of the Scriptures on our freedom in Christ means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: God wants to strengthen me. Is that hard for you to believe without imagining Him getting you “out of the way”? Which of the Scriptures on God leading you means the most to you? Why? React to this statement: God is always leading me, and I can simple “let” Him. How does knowing the Holy Spirit is “good” affect our choice to let Him lead?

"Freedom without transformation is disorienting. It can even be dangerous."In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace true freedom in Christ by walking in the Spirit. The central theme revolves around Galatians 5, where Paul contrasts the acts of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit. We're reminded that while we've been set free, many of us struggle to live in that freedomThis message encourages us to examine our lives: Are we using our freedom to serve or to indulge? What evidence of the Spirit's fruit do we see? It's a call to surrender our heavy yokes to Christ and embrace the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in our daily walk.
June 20 2025 Friday Your Words Matter / Week 20 Faith And Hope In Him #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word. That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT 'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.' Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

The law declares men guilty and imprisons them; faith sets men free to enjoy liberty in Christ. But liberty is not license.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. — Galatians 5:13 A volunteer at Roseland Christian Ministries saw a sign for the celebration of Juneteenth and said, “Why can't we all just celebrate July 4? What is Juneteenth anyway?” I took a deep breath and said something along these lines: “I'm still learning, but here's what I know. After the Emancipation Proclamation was declared in 1863, it wasn't enforced in Confederate states until 1865. On June 19, 1865, a U.S. general arrived in Galveston, Texas, to inform enslaved people that they were legally free—two years after the proclamation. That's what Juneteenth celebrates.” I pushed a little further. “Independence Day might mean something different if your freedom didn't come on July 4, 1776. And if any of us is enslaved, are we free?” In the United States, Juneteenth is not just a day for Black Americans to celebrate—it's a reminder for everyone that true freedom is something we should strive for together. Galatians 5:13 reminds us, “You . . . were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” I pray for the humility to keep learning and listening. Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the journey toward justice and equality and, as followers of Jesus Christ, to remember that we are called to use our freedom to serve one another. Lord, grant us the gift of true freedom in Christ. May we serve others with open hearts, walking humbly in your love and grace. Amen.

Codependency can keep us stuck—chasing approval, avoiding conflict, and living under the weight of others' expectations. In today's video we explore how Jesus invites us to trade the old way of externally-driven living for an internal, Spirit-led transformation. Using the latest iPhone update as a metaphor, we dive into the "focus mode" God offers us in the new covenant—freedom from Pharisee mindsets, inner vows, and legalistic control. If you've ever struggled to let go of people-pleasing or felt paralyzed by religious expectations, this message will point you back to the true source of healing: Jesus.

Paul continues to make his case concerning the relationship between the follower of Christ and the law. How should we think of the law as it relates to sin and is it relates to freedom in Christ? In today's reading Paul says that if a woman's husband dies, then she is no longer bound to that man. Likewise, Paul says that we are to put our relationship with the law to death so that we may engage in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Now, the law is not sin; in fact, the law points out our sin, and in some ways amplifies the gravity of sin. So often the flesh wants to go on sinning, but the mind wants to obey the law, but praise God, Christ rescues us from this body of death. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

June 17 2025 Tuesday Your Words Matter / Week 20 Saved To The Uttermost In Him #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word. That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT 'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.' Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.' Matthew 11:28 Find Rest In Jesus Christ Your Lord and Savior… Mark 10:29-30 100 Fold Return… Psalm 37:4 God will give you the desires of your heart… The Galations, having launched their Christian experience by faith, seem content to leave their voyage of faith and chart a new course based on works—a course Paul finds disturbing. His letter to the Galations is a vigorous attack against the gospel of works and a defense of the gospel of faith. Paul begins by setting forth his credentials as an apostle with a message from God: blessing comes from God on the basis of faith, not law. The law declares men guilty and imprisons them; faith sets men free to enjoy liberty in Christ. But liberty is not license. Freedom in Christ means freedom to produce the fruits of righteousness through a Spirit-led lifestyle.

That your life, your faith, or even your calling has to look perfect before it really counts?

In this episode, we dive into Galatians chapter 2 and uncover a powerful message about freedom in Christ—a freedom threatened by religious rules, even in the early church. Paul recounts his face-to-face confrontation with Peter over hypocrisy, challenges the idea of adding requirements to the gospel, and defends salvation by grace alone.For Latter-day Saints, this chapter raises important questions:Do we need religious leaders to validate our message from God?Are modern commandments—like the Word of Wisdom—spiritually necessary?What does it really mean to be “justified by faith”?

Understanding Christian Liberty: When Freedom Meets Love explores the delicate balance between our freedom in Christ and our responsibility to others. Based on 1 Corinthians 8, this message unpacks what Christian liberty truly means - the freedom to engage in activities not explicitly forbidden in Scripture. However, this freedom must always be interpreted through the lens of love. Knowledge without love can become harmful, especially when it causes fellow believers with weaker faith to stumble. Paul identifies two key dangers: pressuring others to violate their conscience and creating misunderstandings that lead to sin. The message provides practical examples like alcohol consumption around teetotalers or recovering alcoholics to illustrate these principles. When we cause others to stumble, we're not just sinning against them but against Christ himself. This teaching challenges our culture's individualistic approach to freedom, reminding us that Christianity calls us to reflect Christ's sacrificial love. The message concludes with practical application questions to help believers examine how they're using their liberty and encourages them to hold their freedoms with an open hand, ready to set them aside for others' spiritual wellbeing.

June 11 2025 Wednesday Your Words Matter / Week 19 All Things Exist In Him #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word. That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT 'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.' Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.' Matthew 11:28 Find Rest In Jesus Christ Your Lord and Savior… Mark 10:29-30 100 Fold Return… Psalm 37:4 God will give you the desires of your heart… The Galations, having launched their Christian experience by faith, seem content to leave their voyage of faith and chart a new course based on works—a course Paul finds disturbing. His letter to the Galations is a vigorous attack against the gospel of works and a defense of the gospel of faith. Paul begins by setting forth his credentials as an apostle with a message from God: blessing comes from God on the basis of faith, not law. The law declares men guilty and imprisons them; faith sets men free to enjoy liberty in Christ. But liberty is not license. Freedom in Christ means freedom to produce the fruits of righteousness through a Spirit-led lifestyle.

Sometimes what we think will lead to freedom actually has the opposite effect. It can be hard to see things as they are, but Galatians 4 brings clarity when it comes to our relationship with God and others. God is calling us to real freedom in Christ, not the illusion of the world.

What if I told you that giving money to good causes won't necessarily change your heart?Many assume that if they invest their finances in the right places, their affections will follow. But what if the real issue isn't where our money goes, but what we treasure most?The Words of Jesus: Treasure and the HeartIn His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus offers one of the most profound insights into money and the human heart:"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:21)Many interpret this to mean that if we direct our money toward good causes, such as ministries or charities, our hearts will naturally follow. And often, generosity does strengthen our connection to what we support. However, if money itself remains our treasure, even generous giving can leave our hearts tied to wealth rather than to God.What if Jesus wasn't just telling us to redirect our money but inviting us to reexamine what we treasure most? The real challenge isn't simply choosing better causes; it's choosing a better treasure. If our hearts cling to money, even when giving it away, we remain captive. But if we treasure God above all, our money will naturally reflect that devotion.The Widow's Offering: A Heart Aligned with GodConsider Jesus' observation of the widow's offering in Mark 12:"And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny." (Mark 12:41–42)The wealthy gave much more than the widow, but their giving didn't free them from money's grip. Their treasure was still rooted in their wealth.Jesus exposes a similar heart issue when He rebukes the Pharisees in Matthew 23:"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness." (Matthew 23:23)The Pharisees gave meticulously, yet their hearts were enslaved to pride and status. Their giving wasn't born from a love for God, but from a desire to maintain religious appearances.True Freedom in Treasuring GodIn contrast, the widow's tiny offering flowed from deep trust and surrender to God. She gave not to be seen, but because her greatest treasure was the One standing before her. Jesus praised her, not for the amount she gave, but because her heart fully belonged to Him.If giving alone could free us from money's hold, the Pharisees would have been the most spiritually free people of their day. But they weren't. True freedom comes not from giving more but from treasuring God most.As Pastor John Piper puts it:“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”How Do We Shift Our Hearts?So, if the issue isn't where we put our money but what we treasure, how do we shift our hearts?Recognize God as Your Greatest Treasure - Until God is our highest joy, we will always cling to lesser things.Seek First His Kingdom - When God's Kingdom is our priority, everything else—including money—falls into place.View Money As A Tool, Not A Treasure - If we treasure God, we will steward it wisely without being controlled by it.Store Up Treasures in Heaven - This means prioritizing what truly lasts—growing in Christ, loving others, and living generously.When our treasure is in God, our relationship with money changes. We give not to force our hearts to care, but because our desires are already aligned with what God cares about. We are freed from financial anxiety because our security is in God, not wealth (Matthew 6:25–34).If money is our treasure, our hearts will forever remain enslaved to it, no matter how generously we give. But if we treasure God, our hearts will be free, and our relationship with money will reflect that reality.The real question isn't, “Where is my money going?” but “What do I treasure most?” Because where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.Partner with FaithFiThat's the heart behind everything we do at FaithFi.

Also, would you feel guilty about drawing out some money from my 401(k) to buy myself a little gift instead of going into debt?I've paid tithe on the gross amount my whole life. Now that I'm retired and drawing Social Security, pension, and business income, I'm wondering if I should continue to tithe. Some people say it's already been tithed, so why tithe it again?I want to sell my almost 70-year-old home and move into a senior residence that's handicap accessible. I'm on Social Security Disability, and I was told that selling a home is considered income and will stop my disability benefits. Is this true? I heard you talk about the $19,000 gift limit per person per year. I want to know if the same limitations apply if I give to a 501(c)(3) organization and I'm not planning to claim it on my taxes.I would like to leave our paid-off house to my children if both my wife and I have passed. Should I get a will, put them on the deed, or establish a trust and incur the associated expense? Can I just put them on a deed, and when we pass, it goes to them?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

I've been to prison……and there is a difference between prison and jail. Jail is a place where you wait to be moved to your final destination. Prison is where you go to stay, to be confined…where you go to rot. I was recently reminded of a trip I took to San Francisco. While there I visited Alcatraz and I distinctly remember refusing to stand inside one of the cells. The thought of the door closing behind me was too much to bear, my freedom was worth far more to me than experiencing the interior of a 9' x 5' cell. That tiny room is not the only prison cell I have been faced with. Throughout life, we find ourselves trapped not by physical boundaries, but ideas, words, beliefs, thoughts and other immaterial walls that are much more frightening than a prison cell. This weekend we continue our series in 1 Corinthians, focusing on chapters 8&9 and Paul's call for us to exchange immaterial prisons for freedom in Christ!Pastor Matthew McCarter
June 05 2025 Thursday Your Words Matter / Week 18 Holy Priesthood In Him #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word. That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT 'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.' Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.' Matthew 11:28 Find Rest In Jesus Christ Your Lord and Savior… Mark 10:29-30 100 Fold Return… Psalm 37:4 God will give you the desires of your heart… The Galations, having launched their Christian experience by faith, seem content to leave their voyage of faith and chart a new course based on works—a course Paul finds disturbing. His letter to the Galations is a vigorous attack against the gospel of works and a defense of the gospel of faith. Paul begins by setting forth his credentials as an apostle with a message from God: blessing comes from God on the basis of faith, not law. The law declares men guilty and imprisons them; faith sets men free to enjoy liberty in Christ. But liberty is not license. Freedom in Christ means freedom to produce the fruits of righteousness through a Spirit-led lifestyle. 1 Peter 2:5 Romans 10:9-10 Salvation… 1 John 1:9 Confess your sins God Will Cleanse You… Romans 13:8 Live in God's Love… Romans 8:16-17 Heirs of God and Joint Heirs with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Revelation 1:6 We are kings and priest in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Romans 10:13 Call On The Name Of Jesus And Make Him Lord today… The Biblical Definition Of Grace Is God's Unmerited Favor… Matthew 18:19-20 I will agree with you about your prayer request… Acts 10:34 God is not a respecter of persons.

What does Paul mean when he says, “For freedom Christ has set us free”? Many assume it means we're free from the law—but Scripture reveals something far deeper.This episode walks through Galatians 4–5, Psalm 119, and James 1 to show how the Torah is not bondage but freedom. Messiah did not free us from God's law—He freed us from sin. Obedience is not legalism. It's liberty. And it's the life Yeshua modeled perfectly.
Welcome to episode #233!
This week we return to our No Other Gospel Series. We learn this week that our freedom in Christ should be self serving, not self sacrificing. The gospel creates followers that look like Jesus and serve one another like He did. Tyler Dunn // Journey Pastor
Galatians 5:13-15 This week we return to our No Other Gospel Series and learn that our freedom in Christ should be self serving, not self sacrificing. Our actions will reflect Jesus in how we serve and treat one another. Tyler Dunn // Journey Pastor
Pastor Dan preached from 1 Peter 2:13–17, emphasizing the biblical call to submit to every human authority—whether political leaders, teachers, or parents—not because they are perfect, but because it is God's will. He reminded us that government is established by God for our good (Romans 13), and that true freedom in Christ doesn't give us license to rebel, but calls us to live as His servants—honoring all, fearing God, and even respecting rulers.#SubmitToAuthority #1Peter2 #Romans13 #FearGodHonorTheKing #LiveAsServants #BiblicalSubmission
Are you truly walking in the freedom Christ already won for you? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Donnie McClurkin brings Paul's message to the Galatians to life, urging believers to stand firm in their freedom and refuse to return to bondage (Galatians 5:1). He explains that bondage goes beyond sin—it includes toxic mindsets, emotional wounds, and generational curses that quietly shape our lives. Through prayer and the keys of the Kingdom, we've been given divine authority to overcome fear, insecurity, and unforgiveness. This message isn't just inspirational—it's a bold reminder of the transforming power of Jesus' sacrifice, which breaks every chain, washes away the past, and redefines who we are in Him. The sermon closes with a powerful call to live each day in the freedom Christ offers—not as a distant ideal, but as a present reality. True freedom isn't just the absence of sin—it's walking in the fullness of your identity, authority, and purpose in Christ.

Watch Out for Spies!In Galatians 2:1–10, false brothers—spies pretending to be believers— try to turn Christian freedom into spiritual slavery. What's at stake? The very heart of the Gospel.Paul refuses to yield. Not even for a moment. Why? Because salvation is through grace alone—not rules, not rituals, not religious performance.In this sermon, we explore: false brothers who secretly try to steal your freedom in Christ; private conversation that preserve unity and prove there's one gospel; the right hand of fellowship that Christians extend to each other; and remembering the poor as a fruit of true faith, not a work to earn salvation.Paul shows us how to stand firm on essentials, show grace on non-essentials, and extend the hand of fellowship to all who believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ!

Send us a textIn this episode, we get real about the counterfeit comforts we each reach for when life feels too heavy—whether that's emotional eating, perfectionism, scrolling, or even throwing ourselves into ministry. We open up about how our personal stories shaped these patterns. Heidi shares how growing up with alcoholic parents taught her to cope through control and performance, while Christina talks about how her mom's trauma from WWII in Germany created a legacy of anxiety and over-functioning in her own life. These habits may look harmless, but they often mask a deeper ache we're trying to numb.We also talk about how family history and cultural messages feed these false comforts and how even “good” things—like spiritual routines—can become a way to avoid real connection with God. But there's hope. Scripture invites us to bring our struggles into the light and let God meet us in the very places we tend to hide. Instead of running from discomfort, we're learning to pause and invite God in—right in the middle of our mess. Tune in and join us as we unpack the beginning of this healing journey.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org
If you want your words to carry power, you have to stop speaking like a beggar and start praying like a BELIEVER.I think so often, we talk TO God and not WITH God. So often we forget that its a two way relationship. A two way conversation and that just as much as God desires to hear from us, He also desires that we hear from Him. Stop praying uncertain prayers about things God has already promised like healing, provision, and peace. Know His will and declare it. 1 John 5:14 says “this is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 2.We don't need to pray “God be with me..” You don't need to ask God to be with you, He promised He already is. Instead thank him for his present and walk in it. Hebrews 13:5 says I will never leave you or forsake you. Declare God is with you now and always. I walk with His presence, not apart from it.
Whether you're guarding literal ground or the soil of your heart, your freedom in Christ is key.In this episode, we're closing our 4-part series on practical spiritual warfare.So you've removed the enemy's claim on a part of your life, ousted him from your land, and begun nurturing new habits to reclaim that area of your life and walk in repentance. What are some strategies for guarding the ground you've just reclaimed — or keeping the enemy from claiming a foothold in the first place(!)? We'll be covering topics from walking in the Spirit and the importance of community to answering such questions as... Why couldn't the occultist's spirit guide come to dinner? Did the former owners of this house give ground to the enemy? And more.Join us on the trail!P.S. Get ready for the summer study! The podcast is taking a break over the summer, but you can still tune in weekly for Marcus Warner content. He's teaching through his book A Deeper Walk.
