On this November 6th episode, join Hunter, your Bible reading coach and host, as we journey through day 311 in our year-long walk through the Scriptures. Today, we dive into the raw honesty of Job, seek comfort in Psalm 120, and explore the liberating message of Paul in Galatians chapters 3 and 4. Together, we reflect on the transformation offered by God's love, the promise of freedom through faith in Christ, and Paul's passionate plea to the Galatians not to trade their spiritual freedom for old chains. You'll hear heartfelt prayers, inspiring challenges to fix your eyes on Christ, and a reminder of your true identity as a beloved heir of God. So grab your Bible and your coffee—or just tune in—as Hunter guides us through Scripture, prayer, and encouragement for your soul. Certainly! Here is the transcription of the devotional given after the Scripture readings and before the prayer, matched in tone, style, and format to your example: TODAY'S DEVOTION: This journey into God that provided you with forgiveness of sins, that gave you a joyful and grateful spirit, that made you a caring and generous person, that journey began by faith. When you woke up to the gift that God had given you in Christ and the truth of who you have now become in Christ, none of that happened by trying to become a good law keeper. These dear people in Galatia are being told that they must become circumcised. They must become Jewish converts. They're being instructed to follow the laws of Moses—the dietary laws, the dates, the deeds—all of it, because all of it would be necessary if they wanted to be counted among God's people. They're being told that Jesus was, in effect, a kind of first step to this new life and community. As Jewish converts, they would have to take the next step, and that meant circumcision. It's out of these pressures that Paul is urging them not to trade their freedom for chains, and the blessing of life for what he calls the curse of the law. Paul is saying that Jesus is the first and only step. The law was never meant to make us right with God. The law was given to come alongside us and convince our hearts of our need for a Redeemer and a Savior. It's there to point us to the cross—to God's self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. It's faith in what he has done, and what we have now become. That's where the joy is. And that's where Paul wants this church—and you and I—to live from. That's Paul's plea, not only to the Galatians, but to you and to me. What God has done for you in Christ is all that need be done. Paul wants us to keep our eyes fixed on him—not on ourselves—looking outward and upward and being changed and transformed as we look to him. So let's fix our eyes on Christ our Savior, on his beautiful life, continuing to look to him in faith, growing in Christ until He is fully formed in us. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:4-6, 1 John 3:1, & Ephesians 1:4-5 In today's episode of Kids Bible Stories, we continue our “Names of God” series and learn a name that shows how close and loving God is toward us — Abba, which means Father. We'll travel through 4 places in the Bible to discover that God didn't just make us; He chose us and adopted us into His family through Jesus! Children will hear how Paul and John describe God as a caring Father who listens, comforts, and provides for His children. They'll be reminded that, no matter what their family looks like here on earth, God's family always has room for them — because through Jesus, we all belong. -------------

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this November 5th, 2025 episode, your Bible reading coach and host, Hunter, invites us to journey together through the sacred pages of Scripture. Today, we explore the themes of wisdom and blessing as found in Job chapters 28 and 29, and the heart of the gospel message in Galatians chapters 1 and 2. Throughout the episode, Hunter guides us in contemplating where true wisdom comes from, reminding us that it cannot be bought or found apart from God. We also reflect on Paul's powerful defense of the gospel and the freedom it offers, encouraging us to turn our focus away from ourselves and onto Jesus, who transforms our lives. Join us for inspiring scripture readings, thoughtful commentary, heartfelt prayers, and a gentle reminder of God's love. Whether you're new to the journey or a longtime listener, let your soul be strengthened, your imagination renewed, and your hope firmly rooted in Christ. Settle in, open your heart, and let's spend some time together in God's Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The law will turn you in on yourself if you're looking for it to save you. The law misapplied will cause you to keep your focus on you—either how well you are doing, or how miserably you are failing. The focus is the same. In the end, it's all you. Paul knew all about the law. He was an expert in the law. But what Paul discovered was the Gospel. And the Gospel turns our eyes off of ourselves, redirecting our focus on to Jesus—not what we have done or haven't done, but on Jesus, what He has done and what we have become in Him. Not I, but Christ, says Paul. Because that's what the Gospel does. It turns us outward to God, into the world as the new creatures that we are. Paul says, "I am crucified with Christ, and the life I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." Paul has discovered that his real life is in Christ, not in obedience to the law. And this was his message. And he would not let anyone distort or change that message—not even Peter. So when Peter began to insist on Gentiles obeying the law of circumcision, he rebuked him publicly. Where are you looking? Inward, onto yourself? Are you looking to your own piety to get you in the good graces of God? Or are you looking outward, away from yourself and onto Jesus—the One who loves you and who is with you, the One who has made you and reclaimed you? Look to Him. Keep your eyes focused on Him, and don't let the law or anyone move your gaze anywhere else. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near.

Everything starts with a seed. All of God's promises about you exist in a seed form, waiting for you to bring them to life. In the third episode of "The Mystery Of Seeds," Duane Sheriff reveals the spiritual principle of sowing and reaping. Galatians 6:7-9 reminds us that God is not mocked, and whatever we sow, we will reap. This immutable law applies to both our natural and spiritual lives. Consider your thoughts, words, and actions as seeds that will inevitably produce a harvest. If you sow good seeds which align with the Spirit, you will reap eternal life and blessings. The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

Matt, Ken, and Kenny continue their discussion about one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: what is the Gospel? Throughout his letters, especially in his messages to the Galatians and Romans, St. Paul warns against boasting in a works-based righteousness. So what kind of "works" was Paul talking about? Former Baptist pastor Ken Hensley dives into the text to demonstrate what it is that Paul was actually condemning when he spoke against the idea of salvation by works of the law.

Unplugging from the Matrix: Spiritual Training for Real Life In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings dive into the metaphor-rich world of The Matrix to explore how spiritual training transforms our ability to live with power, love, and freedom. Just like Neo needed to learn the rules of the system, believers must become aware of the unseen battle between good and evil—and train accordingly. Drawing from personal stories, Scripture (like Galatians 5), and scenes from The Matrix, they challenge listeners to discern spiritual reality, recognize enemy tactics, and lean into the guidance of the Trinity. This episode is a call to vigilance, spiritual growth, and choosing to walk in the authority and identity we've been given. Whether you're facing internal "agents" of fear, shame, or distraction, or learning to discern the voice of the Spirit, this episode reminds you: training isn't optional—it's essential. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do?In this honest and relatable message, Pastor Jon McNary unpacks Romans 7 and Galatians 5 to explore the internal battle between the flesh and the Spirit. Through humor, personal stories, and powerful truth, we're invited to stop white-knuckling our faith and instead walk daily with the Spirit who produces real, lasting change in us.SPEAKERSJon McNary

True freedom isn't about getting more options for oneself, but becoming free from the bondage of sin to walk in righteousness. We trace a bold, honest line from Eden's wide-open garden to Paul's gritty vision of liberty that chooses service for the sake of others. Along the way, we examine how one boundary tested trust, how the fall revealed our tendency to use freedom poorly, and how the Spirit leads us out of bondage into a life where righteousness is not a burden but a joy.We talk through Genesis and the original scope of human freedom: real work, real dominion, and only one restriction. That context changes how we read our choices today. Rather than chasing loopholes or cloaking compromise in spiritual language, we ask how to live in freedom publicly—submitting to rightful authority, practicing integrity, and letting our conduct silence ignorance. Paul's words come alive: “Though I am free, I made myself a servant to all.” Freedom becomes a mission. It is the power to become “all things to all people” to win some, not to perform for approval, but to love people toward hope of Jesus Christ.We also address quieter battles: envy masked as disappointment, the habit of hiding our gifts, and the fatigue in the test of waiting while others seem to flourish. Galatians reframes our identity—the free children of promise, led by the Spirit, called to stand fast and resist the yoke of bondage. Romans reminds us that freedom has a direction: away from sin, toward holiness. If your heart needs a reset on what liberty looks like in practice—clear allegiance, steady character, and generous service—this conversation will meet you where you are and point you forward.If this resonates, share it with a friend, follow for more, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Send us a textThis episode was originally released as a Patreon-only bonus episode on the 5th of March 2025.Episode Summary:In this special bonus episode, I explore the political thought of Hannah Arendt—particularly her seminal work The Origins of Totalitarianism—from a biblical and theological perspective. Arendt's analysis of 20th-century totalitarianism is as relevant today as ever, but what happens when we place her ideas alongside the timeless truths of Scripture?We begin with a look back at the philosophical split between Plato's “contemplative life” and the “active life” exemplified by Socrates and Aristotle. Arendt's critique of Western philosophy's retreat from political engagement opens up rich questions for Christians: Is our faith a private, introspective affair—or a public, active witness?Drawing from The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition, this episode reflects on:The spiritual and moral roots of totalitarian regimesThe dangers of ideological conformity and the erosion of personal responsibilityThe biblical understanding of action, identity, and communityThe importance of grounding public and political life in divine truthWe also examine Arendt's critique of Enlightenment thought, her categories of Labor, Work, and Action, and how they hold up against a biblical vision of human purpose and flourishing.Key Themes:Faith in Action: Christianity is not merely a contemplative retreat—it calls us to be salt and light in the world (Matthew 5:13–16).The Heart of the Problem: Totalitarianism is ultimately a manifestation of humanity's fallen nature, not just failed politics.Identity in Christ: Unlike Arendt's political anthropology, the Bible teaches that identity is found not through action alone but in relationship with God (Genesis 1:27, Galatians 3:26).Political Systems and the Gospel: Both capitalism and Marxism fall short of the biblical vision for justice, mercy, and dignity.True Freedom: Jesus declares, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32)—a freedom deeper than political liberation.Scripture References:Matthew 5:13–16John 8:32Genesis 1:271 John 4:8Matthew 4:4Matthew 6:19–20Micah 6:8Acts 2:44–45Galatians 3:26Featured Thinkers:Hannah Arendt – Political theorist known for her works on totalitarianism, authority, and the nature of political life.Plato & Socrates – Contrasting visions of philosophy and public life.Stanley Milgram – Psychologist whose experiments reveal the dangers of blind obedience.Takeaway:Arendt's analysis challenges us to reflect deeply on the nature of evil, the meaning of action, and the role of individuals in resisting oppressive systems. But as Christians, we recognize that no amount of political engagement can change the human heart. Only Christ can do that. And through Him, we're called not just to think, but to live faithfully in the world—witSupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

This episode of the Ask Us Anything podcast explores several deep theological questions tied to the current Proverbs sermon series. Pastor Derek begins by unpacking the personification of wisdom in Proverbs, showing how Lady Wisdom ultimately points to Christ, the divine personification of wisdom. He then addresses the nature of joy, reminding listeners that God's gifts are to be received with gratitude, not avoided out of fear of idolatry—citing C.S. Lewis's “Meditation in a Tool Shed” and 1 Timothy 4. Next, he clarifies the personhood and role of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity, warning against reducing Him to a mere “manifestation” of the Father's will and cautioning against modalism. Finally, he explains why Christians are no longer under the Mosaic Law, emphasizing Paul's teaching in Galatians that the law was never a ladder to righteousness but a guide leading us to Christ and justification by faith alone. #ProverbsWisdom #ChristianPodcast #AskUsAnything #JesusIsWisdom #HolySpiritTeaching #JoyAndGratitude #SevenDeadlySins #FaithOverLaw #GraceNotWorks #BiblicalTeaching #SinnerGraceChurch #Galatians3 #CSPodcast #BibleStudy

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it's never enough? That is the trap of perfectionism — and today, we're breaking it in Jesus' name. Before we dive in, Sister… it's November, which means my 21-Day Christian Fitness Challenge is open right now— and only this month. If perfectionism has been sabotaging your fitness, food choices, routines, or confidence… this is the Christ-centered refresh your mind, body, and spirit need before the holidays. Join now at https://kimdolanleto.com/christianfitnesschallenge ➞ In This Episode, I Share 3 Godly Ways to Break Free From the Trap of Perfectionism 1. How perfectionism really started I talk about how the "never enough" mindset often begins in childhood and why so many of us end up replaying it in our health, habits, relationships, and spiritual lives. This is where God begins healing the root. Scripture: "His grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9 2. Why performance will never give you peace The enemy uses pressure to exhaust us, guilt us, and push us into all-or-nothing living. But Jesus leads us with peace, not pressure. Scriptures: "Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28 "You are complete in Him." — Colossians 2:10 3. How to trade perfection for faithfulness This is the real shift: choosing progress over perfection and trusting God in the small, steady steps. Not flawless eating. Not perfect workouts. Not rigid routines. Just faithfulness. Foundational Scripture: "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves submit again to a yoke of bondage…" — Galatians 5:1 November-Only Challenge Reminder If this message hits home, the 21-Day Christian Fitness Challenge will help you break the perfectionism cycle and rebuild your health and habits with Jesus at the center.

To Become Jesus Followers: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Every time you lie or cheat or lust or get stoned, you put a barrier between yourself and God because God is Holy. God's Holiness prevents Him from communing with sinners. The author of 1 John tells us in 1 John 3:8: “Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.". God brought Jesus, who was both God and man, to live on earth. Therefore, Jesus' blood sacrifice on the cross permitted Him to take on your sins. By His sacrifice, Jesus became the doorway for your personal relationship with God and a path for your Salvation from your sins (1 John 1:9-10): “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Self-Centeredness. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Love. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Daily Dose of Hope November 4, 2025   Scripture - John 14:15-31   Prayer: Holy God, We come before you today rejoicing in your powerful name.  Thank you for who you are and all you do.  Thank you for loving us.  Help us gather our scattered thoughts, help us set aside distractions, and truly focus on you right now.  In these next few moments of silence, Lord, we want to hear your voice...In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, a devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently doing a deep dive of the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we finish John 14.   We have just read about how Jesus has washed his disciples' feet, shared a Passover meal with them, and even predicted their denial.  Now, he has moved into this long extended time of teaching.  He wants them to understand what is coming.  Jesus is saying, there are confusing, hard days ahead. In fact, over the next few chapters, he warns them of this several times–things are going to get really tough. Jesus knows that in a few short hours, he will be arrested in the garden, his trial will soon begin, and cross is looming large. He is preparing them for what's to come...He won't be with you them body anymore—but will send the Holy Spirit (he calls the Spirit the Advocate, which comes from the Greek word Paraclete meaning the helper, the one who comes alongside).   Jesus basically says this is what I promise that Spirit will do in your life: The Spirit will constantly be with you and constantly be guiding you, leading you, teaching you, reminding you of all the truths I have taught you. In fact, you can think of the Holy Spirit as a gift.  You can think of the Spirit as my presence with you always.  And if my presence is with you always, then even in the midst of confusion and trouble, you can have peace. It's the Holy Spirit that will allow you to experience a special kind of peace that is only possible connected to Jesus; it's a peace the world absolutely does not offer.  How incredible.    Jesus then tells them he has to go away.  Remember, they really don't understand any of this.  It's going to take time, reflection, and perspective, and the Holy Spirit, for this all to really come together for them.    But it's worth mentioning that 50 days later, in Jerusalem, in another room, the believers are gathered together, hiding and waiting, not really sure what's going to happen...when the Holy Spirit shows up and fills the believers.  This changes absolutely everything.    While we will talk more about Pentecost when we cover Acts 2, I do want to talk a bit about the Holy Spirit today.  What does the Holy Spirit do in our lives?   Assures believers that they belong to God. I can't tell you how many I've counseled that worry that they haven't really been accepted by God. They have asked for forgiveness and said yes to Jesus Christ, been born again, but there is something within themselves that still makes them think they aren't deserving or that God doesn't want them or love them. The Holy Spirit, working within us, has the power to assure each of us that yes, God has accepted us and adopted us as his own.   Romans 8:14-16, For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father." For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children.   Galatians 4:6, "And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, "Abba, Father."   Helps us become more Christ-like, more holy. It is the Holy Spirit's job to produce Christ-like character in you. When we talk about the Holy Spirit changing us from the inside out, this is what we are talking about. This process of changing us to be more like Jesus is called sanctification. You can't reproduce the character of Jesus on your own or by your own strength. New Year's resolutions, willpower, and best intentions are not enough. They will only get us so far. It is the Holy Spirit that has the power to make the changes God wants to make in our lives.   Philippians 2:13, God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.   When we hear the phrase, "the power of the Holy Spirit," many people think of miracles and intense emotions. But most of the time, the Holy Spirit's power is released in our lives in quiet, unassuming ways that you aren't even aware of or feel. The Holy Spirit convicts us when we have done something wrong, The Holy Spirit often nudges us, sometimes with "a gentle whisper" and other times with a not so gentle whack to the head.   Strengthens Our Faith.  It is through the power of the Holy Spirit within us that our faith grows stronger and stronger, even in the midst of hard circumstances.   Ephesians 3:16-18, 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.   I love this imagery of roots going down deep into God's love to keep us strong. How deep are your roots? Are they shallow?   When we are weak, when we don't know the words to say, the Holy Spirit prays for us on our behalf, kind of holds us up if you will.   Romans 8:26-28, And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.   Do you need deeper roots? Is your faith wavering? Spend some time asking the Holy Spirit to help.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

In this episode, Austin Edwards continues in our sermon series through Galatians

In our last session of Paul: His Epistles and What They Mean, Dcn Jim McFadden reflected that the truth of the Gospel cannot be negotiated. One of the key components of the Good News is that we are justified by Jesus Christ and, as such, are not bound by the Law, but are called to the demanding life-style of self-giving generosity of the Gospel. But, the Law still has a role—we're obliged to follow the Ten Commandments—but it serves as a precursor to the Good News.Paul zealously embraced the evangelical model of the Church.  Do you share in that mission?  How so?Paul would not dilute or compromise the Gospel.  Do you see that as being rigid or faithful to the Good News?  How can the Gospel be compromised today?The Gospel is Jesus' gift to us; it gives us life.  How do you embrace and live the Gospel?

We have mastered freedom from certain restrictions, rules and laws, but I would argue that all this freedom has left us just as burdened. With Jesus we can regain a freedom that allows us to live out of faith - a freedom for faith. We have to continually go back to his rescue from evil. Sermon on November 2nd, 2025 on Galatians 5:1-6.

Romans 8:14–17 | Galatians 5:22–25. If we live by the Spirit, let's walk in step with Him, the life Jesus lived by the Spirit is now the life the Spirit lives in us. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey reminds us that the same Spirit who led Jesus now leads us as sons and daughters of God. The Spirit replaces fear with belonging and forms the life of Christ within us growing love, joy, peace, and the fruit that law alone could never produce.

PREPARE FOR OUTPOUR Scripture Focus: Joel 2:23 (NKJV)“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God; for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you—the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.”God is releasing a fresh outpouring of His Spirit — the kind that revives, restores, and refreshes everything that's been dry. When God sends rain, it's not random — it's revival.Main Points:Prepare for Outpour — God is faithful to send rain in its season. What's been dry will live again.God Is Really Good at Being God — His timing, His power, His provision are perfect. Trust His process.The Spirit Is Moving Again — Just like in Acts 2, God is pouring out His Spirit on all people — sons, daughters, men, women. It's generational. It's global.Scripture Highlights:John 8:58 (NKJV) – “Before Abraham was, I AM.” Jesus is eternal — the same God of the former rain is the One bringing the latter rain.Acts 2:15–18 (NIV) – “In the last days... I will pour out my Spirit on all people.”Job 38:25–30 (MSG) – God is the Father of rain and dew — the One who commands every downpour.Galatians 6:9 (ESV) – “In due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Stay faithful. Your rain is coming.This is your reminder to get ready — not just for more blessings, but for more of Him.The rain is a signal: revival is here. 

This message takes us deep into the heart of faithfulness as a fruit of the Holy Spirit, challenging us to examine what it truly means to be steadfast in every area of our lives. Drawing from Galatians 5:22-23 and the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, we're confronted with this truth: we are all faithful to something, and when we commit to faithfulness in one area, we simultaneously commit to unfaithfulness in another. Faithfulness isn't just a nice trait but a foundational reality for a flourishing life. One day we'll stand before God and hear either 'well done, good and faithful servant' or face the consequences of burying what we've been given. Whether we've been given five talents, two, or one, the same commendation awaits those who are faithful. This isn't about achieving worldly success. It's about consistent, reliable devotion to what God has placed in our hands: our families, our relationships, our gifts, and our role in His kingdom. The call is clear and urgent: make war on unfaithfulness, stop hiding what God has given us, and embrace the privilege of responsibility in building His kingdom on earth.Notes for this Sermon: https://lifechurchww.cls.co/jSYCWebsite | lifechurchww.comFacebook | facebook.com/lifechurchww    Instagram | instagram.com/lifechurchww    Vida Music | vidamsc.com

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha "Lech Lecha," Genesis 12:1-`7:27) -- which might be considered the original "come out" teaching in Scripture -- where the first Patriarch, Abram (later Abraham) is told to "get thee OUT" of your country, leave what you have known, and "go to the land that I will show you." It's a historic, literally "Biblical-level" Act of Faith. But that is where the story of the life of one of the most important men in Scripture, and the 'Father of our Faith," only begins. Here's the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/SSM-10-31-25-Lech-Lecha-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 This parsha lays out several truly 'fundamental' elements. One, referenced often in the Apostolic Writings (aka 'Old' Testament) is that the man re-named Abraham in this story "believed YHVH," and his actions repeatedly made that clear, and He "counted it to him for righteousness." (Genesis 15:6, referenced by Paul/Shaul in Romans 4.) Mark begins the Sabbath midrash with what some might consider a surprising understanding, given that is counter to what many may have heard, as he notes, "twisted," and it lies at the heart of this story: Galatians has been taught "backwards." What does Hagar, 'the Egyptian,' represent? And if Paul, as he said, wrote to the former pagans in Galatia that he was worried that they were already "turning away" from that faith demonstrated by Abraham to the "weak and beggarly elements" from which they had been delivered, what does that mean? And, ultimately, just who is the 'son of the bondwoman'? Once you see through the lies we have been fed - "inherited from our fathers" (some more literally than others) - it will be unseen. Please share this one if you find it valuable.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon Notes:I. The Fairness of God's JudgmentA. Our concern for fairnessWe instinctively ask: “Do they deserve judgment?”Judgment must be fair, just, and true.B. Pharaoh and Egypt's guiltPharaoh's policy: murder of Hebrew boys (Exodus 1).Enslavement and oppression of Israel.God's response: “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7 ESV)The death of the firstborn = not random, but reaping what was sown.C. The hardening of Pharaoh's heartSometimes Pharaoh hardens his own heart; other times God does.Pharaoh's rebellion becomes irreversible — God confirms his self-chosen path.God's judgment is never arbitrary, always morally deserved.II. The Realms of God's JudgmentA. Judgment in both visible and spiritual realmsExodus 12:12 — God executes judgment “on all the gods of Egypt.”Not only Pharaoh and Egypt, but their false gods are judged.B. The spiritual dimensionEach plague confronts an Egyptian deity (e.g., darkness = judgment on Re, the sun god).Ephesians 6:12 — our struggle is not just “against flesh and blood.”C. Implications for usConflict perspective: our true enemy is spiritual, not human.Ultimate justice: final judgment must also occur in the spiritual realm — and that belongs to God alone.Christ's victory:The cross = God's judgment on “principalities and powers.”Revelation 20 — final judgment, evil cast down forever.III. Protection from God's JudgmentA. The universality of judgmentBoth Egyptians and Israelites were under threat.Only protection: homes marked with the blood of the lamb (Exodus 12:13).Not ethnicity, morality, or family — but faith in God's provision.B. The necessity of faith and obedienceBelief must lead to action.They didn't discuss the lamb's symbolism — they applied the blood.C. The principle of substitutionThe lamb dies in place of the firstborn.“One life for another.”God's mercy through a substitute.D. Fulfillment in Jesus ChristJohn 1:29 — “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”Jesus = true Passover Lamb — spotless, no broken bones (John 19:31-33), slain for sinners.His blood is the believer's protection from judgment.God's justice is satisfied; His mercy extended.Conclusion: The Cross Is Our PassoverGod is both Judge and Savior.To our sins he says: “this kind of offense cannot be tolerated in my Kingdom.”Yet God Himself provides the way — through the blood of His Son.At the Cross, justice is satisfied, grace is extended.Because of the Lamb, God's judgment passes over us forever.Discussion Questions:Does a God who judges evil make you uncomfortable? Why or why not?In what ways does it help us to understand that God executes judgment in the spiritual realm?What is the difference between making moral judgments and being "judgmental"? How does the idea of humanity being universally under God's judgment eliminate judgmentalism?How does the Cross of Christ bring together God's judgment and grace?Should we fear God's judgment - why or why not?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

Holiness isn't about trying harder—it's about becoming like Jesus.In Week 6 of We Believe, Pastor Aaron Guthrie teaches on biblical holiness—not as behavior modification, but as a life transformed by the presence of God.We're made holy positionally by Christ (justified and set apart), but we're also being made holy practically by the Spirit (sanctified and being conformed to His image).In this message, discover:The difference between positional and behavioral holinessHow the Holy Spirit works to transform us from the inside outThe fruit of the Spirit vs. the desires of the fleshThe daily call to die to self and abide in Christ

In God's kingdom, greatness is defined by serving. Jesus didn't come to be served, but to serve—and He calls us to do the same. Paul reminds us that freedom in Christ expresses itself in love through service. Serving others doesn't require a title or a platform—it just takes eyes to see and a heart ready to respond. This week encourages us to take action and meet real needs in real time. Matthew 20:20-28 (ESV)Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”Galatians 5:13-14 (ESV)For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Ever feel spiritually exhausted — like your soul is running on empty even though you still believe?   In this episode of The GodsyGirl Podcast, Terri talks candidly about spiritual fatigue — that deep weariness that sneaks in when you've been praying, serving, and showing up for everyone else while quietly falling apart inside.   You'll hear Terri's personal story of smiling in public while feeling broken inside and learn how to recognize when you're experiencing spiritual fatigue. She shares what Scripture says about weariness (Isaiah 40:31, Galatians 6:9) and practical ways to rest your spirit without walking away from your faith — through silence, journaling, and sacred stillness.   If you're tired, emotionally drained, or just need permission to rest, this episode will remind you that stepping back doesn't mean giving up — it means letting God refill you.   Visit GodsyGirl.com to explore books, devotionals, and Christian growth products created to help women walk closer with God.

In this episode Manuel Pitman & Daniel Merrill with Cross XChange Ministry, share a way to proclaim the Gospel and the simple yet powerful steps of Evangelism.     "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." -Galatians 2:20

Introduction and Background Denis Kozlov, originally from Russia and now an American citizen, shared his testimony of God's calling to plant a church in Florida. He reflected on his friendship with Pastor Matthew and how their connection was rooted in spiritual discernment rather than analysis—trusting the flow of the Holy Spirit. He encouraged believers to live where the Spirit of the Lord flows, not just where logic leads. Main Theme: The Benefits of the Gospel (from Galatians) Kozlov's sermon was based on the Apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians. He emphasized that the gospel of grace and law-based religion are mutually exclusive—they cannot coexist. The Galatians had begun their faith in the freedom of grace but drifted back into legalism. Kozlov highlighted that Christians must resist the temptation to “bargain” or earn favor from God; grace is a pure gift that cannot be mixed with self-righteousness. Four Benefits of the Gospel Kozlov identified four key benefits believers receive through the gospel: Justified We are forgiven and declared righteous before God as though we have never sinned. Justification is not based on works or law-keeping, but solely on faith in Jesus Christ. Christ became a curse for us, taking on our sin so we could live in the freedom of His righteousness. Kozlov used the illustration of his U.S. citizenship—his new passport changed his status permanently; likewise, believers now approach heaven with full acceptance. Adopted We are legally adopted as children of God, no longer slaves or outsiders. God has made us heirs with Christ—fully legitimate and loved. Kozlov reminded the congregation that even when we feel distant, adoption is not based on emotion but on divine truth. He quoted Galatians 4:4–7 to show that God sent His Son to redeem us and make us part of His family. Indwelled The Holy Spirit—the Spirit of Sonship—lives within every believer. This Spirit enables us to cry “Abba, Father,” expressing a deep, trusting intimacy with God. Kozlov shared moving personal stories illustrating how God became a true Father to him after growing up without one. As a child, he was lifted onto a man's lap to “drive” a car—God later used that memory to show how He gives us dignity and guidance. As a young man, when praying about marriage, God taught him responsibility by asking, “You tell me,” shaping him into a mature believer. Empowered The gospel empowers us to walk by the Spirit, not just experience emotional highs in worship. Kozlov compared the Christian walk to an inchworm—we move forward when our head (faith) and our feet (action) stay connected. Many believers receive inspiration but never act on it; faith must lead to daily obedience and small steps of faith. The true fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—comes only through the Spirit's life within us, not through human effort. Closing Message Kozlov concluded with Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” He encouraged believers to: Live rooted in Christ's love and grace. Stop trying to earn God's favor. Recognize that the Christian life is not self-effort but Christ in us, the hope of glory. He summarized the benefits once more: Justified – Heaven is open to you. Adopted – You are a legitimate child of God. Indwelled – You carry the Spirit of God within you. Empowered – You can live and act by the Spirit every day. Pastor Matthew's Closing Exhortation Pastor Matthew concluded by emphasizing the power of overcoming: Denis' life testified that anyone can rise above hardship—fatherlessness, poverty, or pain. Many believers live burdened by past wounds, but Christ calls us to overcome. “Stop feeling sorry for yourself,” he urged. “You can be an overcomer through the Word of God.” The altar was opened for prayer, inviting those ready to leave behind defeat and step into new life through Christ. Core Message The gospel of Jesus Christ is not about striving—it's about receiving. You are justified, adopted, indwelled, and empowered. Live as a child of grace, not a slave of the law. And let your life become a testimony that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.  

What does it mean to die with Christ? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Galatians 2:15–21 to show how Christ's cross slays pride and how faith receives new life in him.
