What time is it? Pastor Heath gives a stirring message on the period of time, the point of time, and the preparation for the time we live. From Paul's challenge in Romans 13, we are called to put off things and put on Jesus because He is coming soon. Are we awake and ready?
My Grace is Sufficient MESSAGE SUMMARY: All of us face difficulties in our lives, but how we respond to our difficulties determines the blessedness of the life that we enjoy. Paul, in Corinthians 12:7b-10, tells us that he is stricken with a “thorn in the flesh. A messenger from Satan to harass me”. Paul pleaded with God to remove this “thorn” and life difficulty from his life. However, God's response to Paul, and to us is: “a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in {your} weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.". God's Grace is enough; it is all we need for our lives' difficulties. However, this teaching from 2 Corinthians 12 is “counter worldly”, and it flies in the face of everything that we have ever been taught outside of the Gospel. This teaching from Paul is like exercising with weights – when we begin to face our muscle “burn” in our exercise, we can either stop our exercise and gain nothing; or we can push through the difficulty of the “burn” to benefit from our exercise. As the workout slogan summarizes Paul in 2 Corinthians 12: ”No pain; no gain!”. In other words, when we encounter our life's difficulty, we push through the pain and rely on the God's Grace to make us even stronger in our faith and to realize God's power, which is manifest in us and through us. We can not live a spiritual life only in our own strength. Paul, throughout his Epistles, illustrated the Kingdom of God through God's focus on human weakness to use His power to create strength. For example in 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, Paul describes God's manifestation of His power through earthly weakness: “But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.”. From Paul's teaching and from the way he lived his life, we learn that we should accept and own our limitations; however, we should and can push through these limitations and constraints because the Grace and power of God empower us to greater heights than what our capabilities, without God, permit us. We need to repent and change our way of thinking and to become, like Paul, completely yielded to the Lord. Paul turned every one of his Life's difficulties into a manifestation of God's power and glory. Paul was a servant of God 100% of the time! When you are weak, God is strong in you because, as God told Paul: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in {your} weakness.”. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: 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.

Two thousand years ago, Jesus lived, died, rose again, and sent His Spirit to embolden His followers. Two thousand years later, the same Spirit still empowers His people — and Echo Church is part of that story. This message, Ambassadors, calls us to rediscover what it means to live with courage and conviction in a culture of compromise. We are not spectators of faith — we are participants, proclaimers, and ambassadors of Christ. The Apostle Paul, even while chained in prison, prayed for the courage to speak boldly as he must — not as he might. That same calling is ours today: to live the Word, love the world, and lead others with Spirit-led boldness. Pastor Andy Cass Supporting Scriptures: Ephesians 6:19–20; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Acts 1–2; Romans 10:14–15; Matthew 4:4 NOTES: Big Bold Idea: Echo Church exists today because someone before us loved and lived the Bible boldly — and was led by His Spirit. We are called to be bold — not reckless, but Spirit-led; not arrogant, but anchored in truth. The same power that filled the early church fuels us today. Boldness is not optional for ambassadors of Christ — it's essential. We are called to be Builders, Bearers, and Beacons: A city on a hill cannot be hidden — we shine for a purpose. BOLD is not just a FONT: F – Fad → Boldness isn't a fad; it's a lifestyle. O – Opinion → Boldness isn't arrogance or pride; it's rooted in truth and humility, not just feelings or ideas. N – Noise → Boldness isn't noise-making; it's Spirit-led, strategic words and actions. T - Tyranny — not an attempt to control, not a weapon, not a way to secure our own safety. Boldness is love in action. Closing Reflection For eighty generations, followers of Jesus have carried the Gospel forward. From Paul's prison cell to Martin Luther's reformation, bold believers have risked everything so that we might hold the Word of God in our hands today. There are over six billion Bibles in print — may yours not sit silent on a shelf, but speak boldly through your life.

Leave a Review to help our audience grow!--October 5, 2025 -- Pr. John Alwood -- "Gathered, gather!" -- 2 Timothy 1:1-15(1) From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by God's will—a will that contains Christ Jesus' promise of life. 2 To Timothy, my dear child. Good will, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord! 3 I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day when I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as my ancestors did. 4 I remember your tears and want to see you so that I can be filled with happiness. 5 I'm reminded of how sincere your faith is. That faith first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice. I'm convinced that it also lives in you. 6 You received a gift from God when I placed my hands on you ⌞to ordain you⌟. Now I'm reminding you to fan that gift into flames. 7 God didn't give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment. 8 So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord or be ashamed of me, his prisoner. Instead, by God's power, join me in suffering for the sake of the Good News. 9 God saved us and called us to be holy, not because of what we had done, but because of his own plan and kindness.[b] Before the world began, God planned that Christ Jesus would show us God's kindness. 10 Now with the coming of our Savior Christ Jesus, he has revealed it. Christ has destroyed death, and through the Good News he has brought eternal life into full view. 11 I was appointed to be a messenger of this Good News, an apostle, and a teacher. 12 For this reason I suffer as I do. However, I'm not ashamed. I know whom I trust. I'm convinced that he is able to protect what he had entrusted to me until that day. 13 With faith and love for Christ Jesus, consider what you heard me say to be the pattern of accurate teachings. 14 With the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us, protect the Good News that has been entrusted to you. 15 You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.http://www.bethanylutheran.orghttp://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beachwww.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach
Send us a textWhat if the most powerful works are the ones no one sees? We open the door to a deep, honest look at the fruit of the Spirit and why love, joy, peace, and self-control outlast any checklist. From Paul's challenge in Galatians 5 to the wisdom of James and Hebrews, we unpack the difference between faith that performs and faith that produces. Along the way, we confront performative generosity, explore the quiet dignity of secret obedience, and ask a hard question: are we chasing applause or transformation?Our conversation makes a sharp turn at the crossroads of circumcision and crucifixion. The early church wrestled with adding badges of belonging to the gospel; Paul answers by pointing to the cross that kills the old self and raises a new life in the Spirit. That insight reframes everything. Obedience isn't a burden to earn favor; it's the desire of a heart already adopted, led by the Spirit, and disciplined like a true disciple. We share practical tools for daily dying—recognizing temptation early, praying Scripture, phoning a friend, taking a walk, fasting with purpose—and anchor the fight with simple, sturdy truths: resist the devil and he will flee; the Lord delivers the righteous from all their afflictions.You'll hear stories that contrast hollow spectacle with humble faithfulness, and you'll get a roadmap for navigating anger, cravings, and discouragement without turning grace into an excuse. Faith is not a fog; it's substance and evidence that holds when feelings waver. If you're longing for a life that is less about managing appearances and more about real inner change, this one will meet you where you are and walk with you toward freedom.If this resonates, follow and share it with someone who needs encouragement today—and leave a quick review to help others find the show. Your support helps this conversation reach more hearts hungry for the real thing.Support the show
In this hilarious episode of Bone to Pick Podcast, Robert Kelly and Paul Virzi go off the rails with a wild mix of word confusion, food etiquette, and fan-submitted grievances that turn into full-blown comedy bits. From Paul's failed attempt to say “habitual” (landing on “provitual”) to a deep debate about why people cover their mouths while eating, the episode spirals into pure comic chaos. The duo riff on everything from cheap socks and broken binders to calling your mother-in-law “Mom,” while Mike chimes in with perfectly timed fan “bones.” The conversation hits moments of pure absurdity and surprising heart—especially when Bobby recalls his rough school years and the ritual of signing big deals with a $350 Montblanc pen.

Affirming Truths Podcast | Faith| Mental Health | Encouragement
Have you ever been told that if you just had more faith, you'd be healed? This harmful message has left many believers struggling with guilt and shame, wondering if their faith is somehow “not enough.” In this episode of Affirming Truths, Christian Mental Health Coach Carla Arges unpacks what Scripture actually says about healing and faith. From Paul's unanswered prayer in 2 Corinthians 12 to the “heroes of faith” in Hebrews 11—many of whom never received their miracles on earth—we see that God's grace, not the size of our faith, is the foundation of our healing. Carla also explores how healing takes many forms: spiritual, emotional, and practical, often involving tools like therapy, medication, and community support. This episode is a powerful reminder that your healing journey does not disqualify your faith—it reveals God's ongoing grace in your life. Did you know that Carla is a Christian Mental Health coach?

Guest speaker Marty Anderson shares a message surrounding the idea; do we take lightly the riches of God's kindness that leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4)? He, dives deep into the unstoppable, grace-upon-grace power of God—its priority in Scripture, Jesus as its endless source, its purpose to bless and make us a blessing, a real-life example that chisels our flaws into beauty, and an encouragement to let it abound in every corner of your "all."From Paul's prison plea in 2 Timothy 2:1—"You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus"—we unpack why grace trumps vision, doctrine, family, or any other strength. It's God's relentless favor through Jesus, pouring out like Peter's prayer in 2 Peter 1:2: "Grace be multiplied to you!" We'll trace it from John's eyewitness awe in John 1:14-16 (Jesus, full of grace and truth, giving us grace upon grace), through Paul's everything-by-grace testimony (calling, ministry, sufferings—you name it), to Genesis 12's covenant promise: God shows, makes, blesses... so you be a blessing. Grace isn't hoarded; it's reflected in forgiving words, gracious speech (Ephesians 4:29), and seeing others as "beautiful gifts of God's favor." Remember that flawed marble block Michelangelo turned into David? That's you—fractured, rejected, but sculpted by the Master's hand into His poem (Ephesians 2:10). And here's the mic-drop: The Bible's very last words? Not "Come, Lord Jesus" (that's second-to-last)—but "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all" (Revelation 22:21). All your ups, downs, battles, joys—covered. As 2 Corinthians 9:8 declares, God makes all grace abound so you have abundance for every good work. If life's grit has you weary, this is your pillow of perseverance.
Romans 9 opens with Paul's heart breaking for his people, the Israelites. Even though they had received incredible blessings from God, so many missed that Jesus is the Messiah. His grief shows us what it means to love people who are far from God with compassion, humility, and urgency.In this message, Pastor Jamie unpacks what it means to have a heart that breaks for what breaks God's heart. From Paul's sorrow in Romans 9, to the warnings of grieving the Holy Spirit in Isaiah 63 and Ephesians 4, we're reminded that rebellion and disobedience don't just break rules, they wound the very heart of God.Key takeaways from this sermon: • A broken heart for the lost | Like Paul, do we ache for our neighbors, family, and friends who don't know Christ? • God's promises never fail | Belonging to God is not about pedigree, background, or performance, but about His promise fulfilled in Christ. • Grieving the Holy Spirit | Our choices, attitudes, and words can bring sorrow to God's Spirit when we resist His work in us. • Everyone has a story, but all need Jesus | Our past, religion, or morality can't save us. Only Christ can.This is a call to pray, to weep, and to witness with urgency. If Paul could weep for Israel, and Christ could die for the world, then surely we can let God break our hearts for the people right in front of us.Follow us!WEBSITE: https://www.compassiondickson.church/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/compassiondicksonINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/compassionchurchdickson?igsh=eXp3Mm9ubG81aTQx&utm_source=qrSunday Extended Podcast: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRTsMFJ4TR5xa0PahwBjfzWK772IOi9G8&si=lsIu5iqaQwl79Jwj
Spring is a beautiful reminder of new life, new seasons, and the joy of being one body in Christ. The theme of our annual Spring Celebration is “This is Hatfield!” – a multigenerational, multilingual, and multicultural gathering that reflects the heart of our church family. From Paul's short yet powerful letter to Philemon, Pastor Louis helps us discover how the Gospel redefines status, relationships, and culture, and how each of us is called to be a fellow worker in God's Kingdom.
Proverbs 29:26 reminds us that while people look to rulers and courts for fairness, true justice comes only from the Lord.Pastor Nazario Sinon shares biblical truths on trusting God amid injustice. Leaders and systems may fail, but God's judgment is perfect and His timing sure. From Paul's persecution to the promise of Christ's return, we are reminded to live honorably, forgive freely, and let God be the final Judge.Be encouraged today: you may not see justice immediately, but the Lord sees, knows, and will repay righteously.
Think biblical teaching is just for pastors and missionaries? Pastor Mike Fabarez reveals why every believer is called to study and share God's word. From Paul's example in Acts to insights from Romans and Daniel, we'll realize how ordinary Christians can turn others toward righteousness through biblical truth.
In this second episode on Paul's letters to the Corinthians, we dive into specific passages and themes that continue to shape our understanding of Christian life today. From Paul's call for unity to his teaching on spiritual gifts, love, and the resurrection, these words reveal both the challenges and the hope of living as Christ's people in a broken world. Join us as we explore how the timeless truths of Corinthians speak directly to the church and the believer today.
More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
Send us a textForrest Frank's viral song “Your Way's Better” is catchy, AND its lyrics point us to a deeper truth worth slowing down to consider: God's way truly is better. From Paul's letter to the Romans to Israel's wilderness experiences, Scripture shows us over and over again the futility of choosing our own way over God's way. This week on More Than a Song, we'll explore Romans 10 and discover how clinging to our own efforts can keep us from the righteousness that only comes through Christ.Key PointsThe lyrics highlight a clear contrast between the ways of sin and the ways of God.Romans 10:1–4 reveals the Jews' “misdirected zeal” as they cling to their own way instead of embracing God's way through Christ.God's way of making us right with Himself is not through law-keeping, but through faith in Jesus.The warnings of misdirected zeal, misunderstanding, and clinging to self-effort apply just as much to us today as they did to the Jews of Paul's day.Studying larger sections of Scripture (like Romans 9–11) helps us grasp the full context of Paul's arguments and God's redemptive plan.Scripture ReferencesRomans 10:1–4 – God's way of making people right with Himself through Christ.Romans 9:4–5, 20 – Israel's privileges and Paul's reminder of God's sovereignty.Exodus 15 – God sets forth His way in contrast to Egypt and Canaan.Matthew 16:23–24 – Jesus rebukes Peter and calls His followers to walk in His way.Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs)Study larger chunks of Scripture – read Romans 9–11 for context.Read in context – expand to the chapter before and after your focus passage (this is a loose rule...I explain more on the episode)Compare translations – notice how different versions phrase “God's way” vs. “their own way.”Use section headings – gain bearings in a familiar text by scanning how thoughts are grouped.Consider opposites – clarify what God's way is by identifying what it is not.Additional ResourcesDownload the free Episode GuideLyrics for Your Way's Better by Forrest Frank – NewReleaseToday.comEpisode 519 – Looking at how God reigns with wisdom, power, and love.Episode 518 – Jesus rebukes Peter for having in mind the things of man instead of the things of God, then teaches how to follow Him.Episode 515 – Israel's early wilderness experiences in Exodus 15, contrasting God's way with the ways of Egypt and Canaan.This Week's ChallengeRead Romans 9-11. I recommend reading it several times in various translations. For example, the phrasing “God's way” vs. “their own way” is found in the New Living Translation, and I may have missed it in the ESV or CSB, which I often read and study. Look closely at the characteristics of the people and God's ways.

In this powerful message, Pastor John reminds us that life is filled with moments when we feel like saying, “I can't” or “I won't.” Whether it's the weight of hurts, habits, or hang-ups, we often hit the limits of our own strength. But Scripture points us to a greater truth. “But God.”Through humor, storytelling, and biblical insight, John explores how God meets us in weakness and turns our “but I” excuses into “but God” testimonies. From Paul's struggles in Romans to Joseph's long journey of betrayal and redemption, we see how God's grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in our weakness.This episode will encourage you to stop striving in your own strength and instead embrace the transforming power of God's presence. If you've ever wrestled with doubt, discouragement, or the feeling that you don't have what it takes, this message will remind you that hope and victory come not from ourselves, but from the God who redeems, restores, and sustains.
What holds revival together? According to guest speaker and long-time friend of The Roads Church, Lee Grady, it's not just miracles, healings, or signs and wonders—it's love and relationships. In this powerful message, Bonds of Steel, Lee shows us from the life of the Apostle Paul how the Holy Spirit builds unshakable relationships that strengthen the church and advance the Kingdom. From Paul's mentoring of Timothy, to his partnership with Barnabas, to his divine connection with Luke, we see how God uses relationships to change history. Lee challenges us to pursue the three types of relationships every Christian needs: A Paul (mentor) A Barnabas (friend) A Timothy (disciple) He also shares practical steps for overcoming hurt, letting go of fear, and investing in others so that our lives reflect the love of Jesus. If you've ever struggled with loneliness, church hurt, or feeling disconnected, this message will remind you that Christianity is not “just me and Jesus”—it's about walking in fellowship, unity, and love.

In this powerful message from Avenue Community Church, we journey through Romans 15 as Paul ties together theology and real-world ministry. Pastor Tim unpacks how the gospel is more than words—it's a living network that transforms people, builds communities, and spreads across borders. From Paul's missionary journeys to the call for us today, we're reminded that the gospel is meant to go. It's not just about hearing the good news, but carrying it—to our neighbors, our cities, and the nations. Along the way, we reflect on planting, partnering, and praying as the heartbeat of gospel advancement, and how each of us has a personal role in this mission. If you've ever wondered how to live out your faith with clarity, courage, and purpose, this episode will encourage and equip you to testify to Christ in everything you say and do.
Why would Paul suffer beatings, shipwrecks, hunger, imprisonment—and still keep going? Because he was convinced the Scriptures came from God. In this episode, we explore what the Bible says about its own origin and how it was passed down through revelation, inspiration, and canonization. From Paul's letters to Timothy to Peter's eyewitness account of Christ's glory, this message walks through how we got the Bible—and why it's completely reliable.You'll hear:- Why Paul invited Timothy into a life of suffering for Scripture- What it means that “all Scripture is God-breathed”- How eyewitness testimony, manuscript evidence, and early church history affirm the Bible's trustworthiness- Why “this book is made in heaven, not made up” is more than a catchy phrase—it's a call to live by itWhether you're skeptical, curious, or already convinced, this episode will strengthen your confidence in the Word and challenge you to live a life shaped by it.

Leave a Review to help our audience grow!--July 13, 2025 -- Pr. Seth Moorman -- "Sinking Down Roots" -- Col. 1: 1-141 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by God's will, and from our brother Timothy. 2 To God's holy and faithful people, our brothers and sisters who are united with Christ in the city of Colossae. Good will and peace from God our Father are yours! 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in our prayers for you. 4 We thank God because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God's people. 5 You have these because of the hope which is kept safe for you in heaven. Some time ago you heard about this hope in the Good News which is the message of truth. 6 This Good News is present with you now. It is producing results and spreading all over the world as it did among you from the first day you heard it. At that time you came to know what God's kindness [b] truly means. 7 You learned about this Good News from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant. He is taking your place here as a trustworthy deacon for Christ 8 and has told us about the love that the Spirit has given you. 9 For this reason we have not stopped praying for you since the day we heard about you. We ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through every kind of spiritual wisdom and insight. 10 We ask this so that you will live the kind of lives that prove you belong to the Lord. Then you will want to please him in every way as you grow in producing every kind of good work by this knowledge about God. 11 We ask him to strengthen you by his glorious might with all the power you need to patiently endure everything with joy. 12 You will also thank the Father, who has made you able to share the light, which is what God's people inherit. 13 God has rescued us from the power of darkness and has brought us into the kingdom of his Son, whom he loves. 14 His Son paid the price to free us, which means that our sins are forgiven. --GWhttp://www.bethanylutheran.orghttp://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beachwww.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach
Have you ever felt like life has knocked the wind out of you? That no matter how many prayers you've cried out, the pain won't leave, the heartbreak won't heal, and the storm refuses to stop? This message is for you. For the one barely hanging on. For the one walking through fire. For the one carrying a thorn so deep it feels like it'll never come out. In this raw and powerful sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn opens the floodgates of his personal testimony—sharing his journey through a life-altering stroke, tragic family loss, his mother's battle with cancer, and unrelenting physical pain. But through every sucker punch from the enemy, he stands to declare: My weakness is my weapon. With 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 as his anchor, Pastor Travis unpacks the truth that our greatest strength is not found in our perfection, but in our pain. From Paul's thorn to Jacob's limp, from Moses' stutter to David's sling—God has always turned weakness into divine weaponry. Because what the enemy meant to destroy you, God is using to develop you. This isn't just a sermon. It's a battle cry. A call to stop hiding your scars and start wielding them as your testimony. Because the thorn that torments you is the very place God wants to show off. And the limp you're ashamed of? It's proof that Heaven met you in the fire—and you didn't let go. So lift your hands, lift your head, and declare it over your life: My limp leads to my legacy. My weakness is my weapon.
In the Kingdom of God, relationships aren't optional – they're essential. This week, Pastor Louis zooms in on something deeply human and deeply spiritual: relationships. From Paul's closing greetings in Colossians 4 to his bold call in chapter 3 to put off sins that divide, we're reminded that how we relate to others is a reflection of who we are in Christ. Even under house arrest, Paul's life overflowed with meaningful connection. Friends visited. Captors respected him. His relational world was full, even in chains. Contrast that with today's loneliness epidemic. The difference? Paul's life was anchored in Jesus and given over to something greater than himself. We'll explore: ✔️The beauty and challenge of Christian community. ✔️Why greed and idolatry aren't just personal sins – they fracture relationships. ✔️What it means to live with relational integrity in a divided world. ✔️How “the immoderate love of possessing” (Aquinas) pulls us away from love, purpose, and joy. ✔️And how the presence of Jesus makes a real, relational difference in how we live with one another. Let's live lives that are undivided, where our hearts are fully the Lord's and our relationships reflect His grace, truth, and love.
Got a question? Let us know!Is control just an illusion? In this final week of What Our World Needs Now, we dive into why real self-control doesn't come from trying harder—it comes from surrendering. From Paul's battle with sin in Romans to a fresh look at walls as protective boundaries, this episode explores how trusting Jesus changes everything. We even break down Greek myths, worship songs, and why willpower alone isn't enough.#SelfControl #Faith #Romans7 #MadeForMondays #ChristianPodcast #MentalHealth #ParentingAndFaith #FruitOfTheSpiritStay Connected Website: https://believerschurch.org/ Believers Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/believerschurch.va/ Believers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/believers_church/
[From] Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God's holy people in Ephesus. . . . — Ephesians 1:1 What do you usually think of when you hear the word saint? Most of us think of some revered religious person. But what about the person you see in the mirror? Though most of us don't see ourselves as saints, that is what we are when we believe in Jesus. Because of his work, we are being sanctified, made holy, as we live out our lives serving the Lord—and that means we are saints. Because of Jesus, I am not what I or others will often perceive me to be. Instead, I am who God declares me to be. Through Jesus' sacrifice for my sake, I am now declared righteous and holy. Paul understood that we are profoundly transformed in God's sight when we come to faith in Jesus. That's why Paul begins his letter to the Ephesian believers by addressing them as “God's holy people.” Literally, he refers to them as “the saints in Ephesus.” Despite being new to the faith and still having a long way to go in their spiritual development, Paul recognizes them as saints. A saint is someone consecrated to God and set apart for God's service. Through baptism, believers are marked as God's treasured possession, set apart for his divine purposes. Just as it would be foolish to build only a doghouse on the foundation of a skyscraper, it would be foolish to build anything less than a sanctified life on the foundation Jesus established for us. Lord God, thank you for making us holy in Jesus. Help us to live into our new identity as saints each day. Amen.

Accessibility is an essential and important topic in transit--and one that Transit Unplugged has deep connections to.

And this is where our guests this week come in. Ron Brooks and Kristen Joyner talk with Paul about their new book, All Aboard: Conducting Accessible Community Involvement for Public Transit which gives real, practical strategies to improve accessibility in transit, at conferences, in meetings, and the wider world.Ron and Kristen share how sometimes simple things make a tremendous difference in making something accessible, and often with spending little or no money.

What does it truly mean when we say "God is faithful"?Join us as we dive into the depths of His unwavering character and what it means to live a life of faithfulness. "The Lord is trustworthy in all his promises and faithful in all he does." - Psalm 145:13 (NIV)This message unravels the complexity of God's faithfulness and explores how it shapes our own call to live with integrity and trust.
