"Is any thing too hard for the Lord?" This is the question that defines the lives of Abraham and Sarah. From a biological impossibility to a heartbreaking command on a mountain top, their journey proves that God can bring life out of "deadness"—if we are willing to trust Him with everything. Summary: In this episode, we study Genesis 18–23, following the "Father of the Faithful" and the "Mother of Nations" through their ultimate trials. We explore the transition from the joy of Isaac's birth to the gut-wrenching climb up Mount Moriah. The Promise to Sarah: We look at the visit of the three messengers and the shift from Sarah's "laugh of doubt" to her "laugh of joy." We discuss how she received strength to conceive because she "judged him faithful who had promised". The Sacrifice of Isaac: We dive deep into the "Abrahamic Test." Why would a God who abhors human sacrifice command this? We explore the parallels between Abraham offering Isaac and Heavenly Father offering His Only Begotten Son. Life from Death: Using Paul's words in Romans and Hebrews, we analyze how Abraham was able to obey because he accounted that "God was able to raise him up, even from the dead". Jehovah-Jireh: We discuss the significance of the "ram in the thicket" and the name "The Lord Will Provide," exploring how God provides the lamb for us when we cannot provide it for ourselves. The Burial of Sarah: We reflect on the end of Sarah's mortal journey and the faith required to buy a piece of the Promised Land as a "possession of a buryingplace." Call-to-Action: Have you ever had to surrender something you loved back to the Lord, trusting that He had a better plan? How did you find the strength to keep walking up your own "Mount Moriah"?

This week Gary begins teaching on Romans 12 and discusses why God allows brokenness, how His wisdom works through unbelief, and why you were never meant to stay the same.

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” (Romans 15:13) God provides for more than believers’ p... More...

Romans 11:16-17 — In Romans 11:16–17, Paul provides more evidence of why the rejection of Israel was not final. Israel's stumbling was only temporary and because of their fall, the gentiles have received salvation. Paul explains that Israel's belief will be like coming to life from death. In this passage, he uses two illustrations to explain the Jews' and the Gentiles' relationship to the truth. In this sermon on Romans 11:16–17 titled “The Terms Defined,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones breaks down both illustrations and defines the words and context of the words. In essence, if one is part of the whole, and the whole is holy, then they, too, are also holy. Dr. Lloyd-Jones points out that the term “holy” does not always mean sinless, but it means set apart by God. Some parts of the "dough" or "branches" (as used in the illustrations) have been cut off, but can once again be grafted in and take the blessings of the whole. God has the power to remove something once and for all, but He can also graft a part back into the whole. This is what will be done with the Jews. It will be a glorious day when all of Christ's followers and those who believe the true gospel will be raised up and reunited with the whole.

Romans 9:1-13 | Psalm 46 |

Send a text As the house settles and the evening grows quiet, do you ever notice how the inner critic often gets louder? In this 3rd part of our 4-part series, we talk about why nights can feel especially vulnerable—how nervous system fatigue lowers our defenses and makes it easier for food, scrolling, and self-judgment to take over. Instead of pushing harder with willpower, we practice turning toward God's steady voice to shape the atmosphere within us. Using the image of a parent calming a restless child, we reframe what it means to “take thoughts captive,” choosing discernment over force and asking which voice aligns with love, truth, and safety. With Zephaniah 3:17 and Romans 8:1 as anchors, we name condemnation as a false motivator that fuels shame and reactive patterns.From there, we rebuild our evenings with simple, embodied practices—compassionate questions that help the nervous system settle, an A-to-Z praise rhythm for bedtime, and a posture that treats rest as trust, grounded in Psalm 4:8. We share why trying to fix everything before sleep often backfires, how our words shape the inner environment that drives our choices, and how to choose a kinder authority when self-attack gets loud. We also introduce our updated Radiant Grace planner to help close the day without tallying or tracking. If nights have felt like a courtroom, this conversation offers comfort, clarity, and practical steps toward lasting peace.If this resonated with you, download the free Radiant Grace Planner at revelationwithin.org/planner.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

In this Radio Feature, Rabbi Gary continues to discuss Paul's love for the Jewish People. This 1 minute episode will air on KKLA 99.5 in Los Angeles, beginning February 27, 2026, on Fridays during rush hour.Send a text

A Lecture Series by Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik Lecture 6: Delivered February 5, 1959 Continuing with the idea of Judaism's glorification of the anonymous person, the Talmud says that the participants in the annual “kallah” Torah lectures receive divine reward not according to their intellectual achievements, but according to the amount of discomfort they put themselves through in order to participate. Thus, the diligent ignoramus could receive more reward than the accomplished scholar. Judaism stresses axiological democracy, the equal worth of the great scholar and the little person. Modern Man has yet to live up to this ideal of axiological democracy, and the biggest challenge of today's State of Israel is to live up to this ideal. The Talmud captures this axiological democracy in its dictum, “How do you know that your blood is redder than the blood of your neighbor?” Although Judaism's moral code recognizes the common right to dignity, such that we may not judge or embarrass anyone, it places special emphasis on the dignity on the humble and lowly person, with special injunctions against harming the deaf, blind, orphan, widow, and stranger. Rabban Gamliel the Prince, under the order of execution by the Romans, considered that perhaps he deserved his fate due to once making a widow feel unimportant. This sense of tenderness towards the downtrodden reflects God's own behavior and attitude towards the poor and oppressed, as described in Scripture. Peretz's story “Bontzye Shweig” illustrates this idea as well. This analysis leads to the problem of Jewish loneliness, which requires distinguishing between two different feelings, loneliness and aloneness. Loneliness comes from others inevitably rejecting one's message, one's kerygma. Aloneness comes from the numinous uniqueness inherent in each person. Loneliness brings with it destructive emotions, whereas aloneness is a creative and motivating force. Every person must suffer the loneliness of rejection at some point in life. Next lecture will discuss how Judaism tries to solve the problem of loneliness. Topics triggered by audience questions include the Rosenberg trial, historical controversies among Jews, establishment of a Sanhedrin in Israel, and standardized text for prayer.

It’s natural to wonder what God’s will is for your life—especially when you’re facing uncertainty, hardship, or a season that feels confusing. We often ask, “What is my purpose?” or “Why am I here?” But one truth remains steady: God’s will is always connected to His glory and our transformation. Romans 12:2 reminds us that we discover God’s will not by following the world’s patterns, but by renewing our minds through Him. That means God’s will isn’t always something we “figure out” like a puzzle—it’s something we grow into as we surrender our hearts, our plans, and our desires to Him. This prayer points us back to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Even Jesus, overwhelmed by what lay ahead, prayed for another way—yet He ultimately surrendered with the words that changed history: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” That same posture is what God invites us into. Sometimes God’s will includes paths we didn’t expect: waiting, sacrifice, singleness, illness, loss, or deep stretching. But God never wastes suffering. Even what looks like delay or disappointment can become a platform for His glory and a testimony that strengthens others. Today’s reminder is simple but powerful: God’s will is good—even when it’s hard to understand. And the safest place you can be is in the center of His plans, trusting that He sees the full story from beginning to end. Main Takeaways God’s will is always good, even when it’s difficult or unclear. Renewing your mind through Christ helps you recognize God’s direction. Jesus modeled surrender when He prayed, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” God may use hard seasons to glorify Himself and strengthen others through you. Living in God’s will means putting Christ at the center of every decision. Today’s Bible Verse And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. – Romans 12:2 Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Make me more like Christ so that I would long to remain in Your will.” Listen to the full prayer here.

Romans 11:13-15 — What is the future of the Jewish nation? According to Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones in this sermon on Romans 11:13–15 titled “Life From the Dead,” one does not have to wonder since God prophesied through the apostle Paul that there will be a great day when Israel is saved. While they may have stumbled, this was only temporary in order that the gospel might go to all the nations of the Gentiles. God has promised that there will come a day when the dead come to life; that is, when the spiritually dead Israelites receive the gospel of Jesus Christ and believe in Him. All Christians ought to pray and seek the day when God moves and causes a great revival amongst the people of Israel. Furthermore, Paul warns Gentile Christians from becoming prideful and boastful towards the Jewish people, for both Jew and Gentile are justified by faith in Christ as a gift from God. How should this message change the way Christians live now? Christians ought to seek to evangelize the people of Israel because they know that there will be a day when God causes a great revival amongst them. The church ought to pray and eagerly await the day when God fulfills His promise and brings many national Israelites into the church of Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:13-17, Music licensed by Soundstripe.

Winter eventually gives way to spring. The sun always returns — even if it takes longer than we’d like. Life works the same way. In this episode, we talk about walking through spiritual winters — the long seasons of hardship, disappointment, or discouragement where change feels painfully slow. What do we do when prayers seem unanswered? When circumstances don’t shift? When the valley stretches on? Psalm 23 reminds us of something powerful: even in the darkest valley, we are not alone. The sun may feel hidden — but God is not absent. What We Discuss Why difficult seasons are part of the Christian life The danger of obsessing over our problems How self-focus can unintentionally magnify hardship Practical ways to stay encouraged during long valleys Learning contentment when God says “not yet” Paul’s example of trusting grace in weakness Preparing spiritually before the next hard season arrives This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

Eventually it does return, albeit more slowly than we might wish. Life can be like that sometimes, where tough situations are slow to change and improve. When you find yourself feeling down and out, how do you respond? Do you turn to God and patiently wait for the bad times to pass? Do you develop a bad attitude to match the circumstances? Or do you just go with the flow? As Christians, we pray to God with anticipation and hope for the good times of life. There are many of them. However, again, as Christians, we also know that God doesn’t solely promise us good times. The bad times are, in fact, a part of this miracle we call life. And they’re just as important. In effect, life is an alternating sequence of seasons in which we experience highs and lows. Those upbeat moments are much easier to handle and appreciate. The difficulties, on the other hand, can leave us scratching our heads, wondering when God will step in to rescue us. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Everyone at some point will be waiting for the sun to shine again. Don’t focus on your problems. One major mistake people often make when struggling in life is harping on their misfortunes. They pray about it, think about it, and talk about it a lot. Not only that, but our culture promotes ideas such as self-love and affirmation so often that people think good vibes will cast away their problems. Life’s not so simple. In fact, focusing on yourself often makes the problem seem bigger than it is. So, what’s the solution? Think less about yourself and more about others. Rather than dwell on the bad things happening, spend some time thinking about the good. Go out and do good in the world. What you will discover is that sometimes the problems go away, and even if they don’t, when your mind is set on other things, the problems were never as bad as you originally thought. Find ways to stay encouraged. Choosing not to focus on your problems doesn’t magically make you feel better. Hard times can still leave us feeling sad, angry, and worse, suicidal. That’s why it’s important that we know how to find encouragement. Your specific ways may look different from mine, but what’s important is that we have a reliable game plan. The bad times will come. That’s a certainty. And when they do, wisdom calls for us to be prepared. Take some time to consider where you currently find encouragement and where else you ought to go. Some helpful solutions include prayer, church, loved ones, a gratitude journal, exercise, producing art, and so much more. Learn contentment. Sometimes God says yes, sometimes no, and sometimes not yet. The latter can be difficult to understand, especially when you feel so justified in your pleas to the Lord. However, God is God. He’s not going to change a circumstance every time we ask. There could be a lesson for us to learn, or maybe we’re feeling the effects of sin, or both. As Paul learned to be satisfied with God’s grace as he struggled with a thorn in the flesh, so too must we. Based on how he lived, the formula for contentment is probably something like faith plus patience plus gratitude. Obviously, that’s contrary to our human nature and won’t come naturally. Yet, God is able to supply all of our needs and desires to see us grow. We have to do our part to seek that growth. The valleys of life will come and come again. That’s a fact. Yet, we can also be well-prepared to handle. Waiting for the sun to shine again is not easy, but you know that it’s coming. Take hope today.

In this episode of the Joyful Health Show, I talk with registered dietician, nutritionist, and certified eating disorder specialist Liesel Maddox about GLP-1s. Are they a magic pill for weight loss, and what are the concerns around taking these medications? We are answering your questions, and as always, striving to bring you a grace-centered discussion on conversations that matter. We'll discuss: What are GLP-1s and how do they work? Can we safely use them to lose 10-15lbs? Can you take a GLP-1 indefinitely? We believe you are free in Christ to make informed decisions about your health. May this episode serve to give you more fuel for prayer as you consider the role of GLP-1s in your life. "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding."

After the death of a child, the darkness can feel suffocating. In this deeply personal episode, Laura shares from her own journey of losing her daughter, Becca. The panic attacks, the desperate prayers and the overwhelming thoughts told her that she would never survive this kind of pain.  When everything inside us says life will never be worth living again, how do we begin to move forward? Rooted in Romans 12:2, this conversation gently explores how transformation begins in the mind, even when the heart feels completely shattered. With both biblical truth and insights from neuroscience, this episode addresses how repeated thoughts can shape beliefs and identity, and how intentional, faith-filled shifts in thinking can begin creating space for light. Renewing your mind after child loss is not about denying grief or minimizing love; it is about challenging the lies that keep grieving parents trapped in despair and learning that it is our love, not the pain, that keeps us connected to our child. With deeply heart-felt compassion and clarity, Laura offers encouragement that, with God's help, it is possible to move forward without leaving our child behind.

Mental health struggles feel intense right now—and if it feels like there's a battle for your mind, you're not alone.In this message from our Built Different series, we look at the story of Joseph (Genesis 37–50) and what resilience looks like when life doesn't get easier… it gets harder. Joseph's story is full of promise, injustice, temptation, betrayal, and waiting—yet Scripture repeats one powerful truth: “The Lord was with Joseph.”We talk about: • Why mental health isn't something you “just slap a verse on” • The real spiritual dimension of the battle for your mind (John 10:10) • Why obedience doesn't always improve your circumstances—sometimes it intensifies them • What to do in the “middle” season between promise and fulfillment • The power of lament as an honest, biblical way to process pain • How God can redeem what was intended for harm (Genesis 50:20)If you're anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted—this message is for you. Jesus came to give life to the full, and resilience is found by being hidden in Him.

What if your greatest spiritual battle isn't happening around you — but within you?In this message, we explore how Scripture and neuroscience agree: your thought life shapes your peace, identity, and spiritual strength. God has given you weapons to fight the internal war.If you've struggled with anxiety, shame, fear, comparison, or mental exhaustion, this teaching will help you recognize the battle, identify strongholds, and renew your mind through truth.In This Sermon, You'll Discover:• Why negative thoughts feel louder than positive ones• How repeated thoughts build mental strongholds• The danger of rumination and thought loops• Why replacing thoughts works better than suppressing them• How gratitude literally reshapes your brain• The connection between stress, rest, and anxiety• Why identity drives behavior• How speaking truth regulates emotions• Why hope is spiritual AND neurological• How to actively take thoughts captive

The Book of Romans unveils the heart of the gospel and the power of God to save. As Paul explains justification, grace, faith, and life in the Spirit, believers are reminded that righteousness comes through Christ alone. Romans strengthens our foundation in truth and challenges us to live transformed lives marked by obedience, surrender, and wholehearted worship. FREE MEDIA LIBRARY https://app.jesusdisciple.com/jesus-way/media-library SOLID LIVES https://www.solidlives.com/ SUPPORT https://pushpay.com/g/jdglobal Thank you for joining us today!

Grief isn't a detour back to “normal.” It's a turning toward something new—often unwanted, always hard, yet held by God. We sit down with Dr. Stacy Jensen to trace a deeply human story of loss, love, and quiet strength after her husband Nick's death from melanoma in 2019. From family devotions in Romans 8 to the gift of a full funeral just months before COVID shutdowns, Stacy shows how mercy threads through even the darkest days.Together we unpack why the five stages of grief don't match lived experience and how Psalm 13 maps a more honest path—from “How long?” to “I will sing.” Stacy shares how each child grieved differently, what it took to parent amid waves of sorrow, and the surprising ways the body signals danger, like relentless cold before a final goodbye. She names the help that truly helps: curious questions, specific prayers, and one concrete burden lifted. A simple ask—“What necessary thing do you hate doing right now?”—led friends to take over school lunches and gave her back breathing room.For churches, friends, and caregivers, we offer practical ways to care well beyond the funeral—steady presence, scheduled check‑ins months later, rides for kids, and remembering hard anniversaries. For students and young adults who feel invincible, we talk about preparing your heart now with Scripture memory, worship habits, and a circle of people who won't rush your pain. And for anyone walking through fresh loss, Stacy's message is clear: do the next right thing, rest in God's nearness, and trust that nothing can separate you from His love.If this conversation brought someone to mind, share it with them.

What if the grace that saves you is also the grace that calls you to die?This week, YTH Director Caeden Sizemore walks us through Romans 6, showing that the death of Jesus is not just a moment in history—it's an invitation to the life of the believer. In this message, we explore what it means to be united with Christ not only in His resurrection but also in His crucifixion, and why true freedom is found in laying down the old self.In a world that loves comfort and cheap grace, Romans 6 reminds us that following Jesus is not about keeping sin close while claiming salvation—it's about dying to the flesh so we can truly live in newness of life. We hope that you enjoy this series!

Love, Actually – Week 3: Peace, Patterns, and the People You Choose Texts: Genesis 24:10–14, 17–21; Romans 6:3–4We have an entire relationship culture built around not choosing.In Week 3 of Love, Actually: The Love That Restores, Pastor Kevin explores how discernment works in dating, relationships, and even friendships. Looking at Genesis 24 and the story of Rebekah, this message gives a clear framework for peace, patterns, and the people we allow close to us.God does not lead His people with confusion—He leads with peace. Discernment doesn't just listen to words—it watches patterns. And healthy relationships aren't built by adding God later, but by building around Him from the start.On Baptism Sunday, this message also reminds us that following Jesus is ultimately a choice. Baptism is our public “I will go” moment—our declaration that we belong to Christ and are walking in newness of life.Whether you're single, dating, married, or rebuilding after strain, this message calls you toward clarity, courage, and Kingdom-first living.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

Why does the struggle still feel real if you've already been set free?This week, Pastor Gregg walks us through Romans 7 and the tension every believer knows — loving Jesus yet still feeling the fight against the flesh.

Last time we were in Romans chapter thirteen and began to learn about our submission to governing authorities. It's popular and accepted to protest against the government's intrusion into our lives, and there's nothing wrong with that - up to a point. We'll go a little further into this timely issue now!

Women's Bible Study 2025-26 Judges & Romans Lesson 17 | Christ Presbyterian Church in Houston, TX The post Judges & Romans Lesson 17 appeared first on Christ Presbyterian Church of Houston.

Today, we are focusing on how the sword of theSpirit—the Word of God—is our greatest defense against the false teaching ofthe cults and heresies that are so prevalent in the world today. This is veryimportant. At the same time it is our best weapon against the false teachingthat Paul warned would take place in the last days (1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy3:1-9). Thebest answer to secular humanism is the Word of God. If there was ever a daywhen secular humanism has infiltrated even Christianity, it is today. Sadly, weare witnessing what A.W. Tozer called a humanistic Christianity. How true thatis. It becomes all about me—what I feel, what I can have, what is in it forme—instead of asking, What do we learn about God? How can we be holy like God? TheApostle Paul warned even the young church at Ephesus. You must understand thatfalse teaching has been present since the very beginning of the early church.It was already creeping in. Peter dealt with it. The Apostle John dealt withit. We find Paul addressing it as well when he spoke to the elders of thechurch at Ephesus In Acts 20:29-32. He said: “For I know this, that after mydeparture savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also,from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw awaythe disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for threeyears I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears. So now,brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able tobuild you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” God's Word, Paul said, is what will build you up, set you apart, and give you courage and wisdom to deal with the false teachers. Today,people are not asking, “What does God say?” Instead, they are asking, “What doI feel?” We hear phrases like, “Follow your heart.” “What does your heart tellyou?” “What do you think the Bible is saying to you?” But that is not the mostimportant thing. The most important question is: “What is God saying”? Period.Godhas spoken. Whether you believe it or not, His Word is settled. Yet todaypeople ask, “What do I prefer? What do I think is true?” Paul warned that inthe last days people would have itching ears—they want their ears scratched andtickled (2 Timothy 4:3-5). They want to hear things that are not true but makethem feel good. Peterwrote in 1 Peter 3:15, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and alwaysbe ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope thatis in you with meekness and fear.” John also warned in 2 John 7–8: “Formany deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ ascoming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”  Theirreligion is a do-good religion. Do the best you can and you'll get to heaven.Try to keep the Ten Commandments. Then there's good God, good devil, goodeverybody. All you have to do is do what you feel like is the best thing foryou to do. In the end, God will have mercy on you and we're all going to get toheaven one day. I've actually heard these pastors quote Romans 8:35-39 atfunerals telling the people that “nothing can separate us from the love of Godthat's in Christ Jesus our Lord. Everybody's going to end up in heaven one daybecause nothing can separate us from His love”. Myfriend, these are lies of the devil. That's why Jude also warned in Jude verse3, "... I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contendearnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. Forcertain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for thiscondemnation, ungodly men who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and denythe only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ."  Myfriend, we must know the Word of God! It is our best weapon against the falseteachers and their heresy. Jesus said, "Sanctify them through thytruth. Thy word is truth" (John 17:17).

Send a textAnd a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Matt 3:17 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.  Hebrews 11:6 NIVFaith is not: Busyness  So we make it our goal to please Him,  2 Corinthians 5:9a NIVEnoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. Genesis 5:24 Faith is not a: Moment For we live by faith, not by sight.  2 Corinthians 5:7 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1Faith: Fades when: Fear  grows louder3 ways to have AMAZING faith!1. Amazing faith comes from: Hearing  GodSo faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ. Romans 10:172. Amazing faith comes from: Remembering  God“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,his power, and the wonders he has done…so the next generation would know them…and they in turn would tell their children.Then they would put their trust in God.”Psalm 78:4–73. Amazing faith uses what you: Already Have(1)Then Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to my voice? For they may say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.'”(2)And the LORD asked him, “What is that in your hand?”“A staff,” he replied.  Exodus 4:2“He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.  Mark 6:5–6 (NIV)“When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, ‘I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.'  Luke 7:9 (NIV)Only two different kinds of people amazed Him:  Weak faith and Strong faithWhich one are You?  Thank you for listening to the Relate Community Church podcast!
