Read OnlineThe scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus, “The disciples of John the Baptist fast often and offer prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same; but yours eat and drink.” Jesus answered them, “Can you make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.” Luke 5:33–35Though most of the scribes and Pharisees rejected the ministry of John the Baptist, here they attempt to use his discipline of fasting as a weapon to criticize Jesus. But our Lord, perceiving the hollowness of their accusation, turns it into an opportunity for divine revelation. He discloses to them, and to us, a profound truth about His identity: He is the Bridegroom.By doing so, Jesus draws from the rich prophetic imagery of Isaiah and Hosea, which portrays God as the divine Spouse of Israel. Isaiah declared, “As a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you” (Isaiah 62:5). Hosea, speaking the word of the Lord, proclaimed, “You shall call me ‘My husband'… I will betroth you to me forever” (cf. Hosea 2:18–22).Jesus is not merely using a poetic image. By calling Himself the Bridegroom, He reveals a nuptial mystery: Christ comes in the flesh to unite Himself to His Bride, the Church. The proper response to His presence is not fasting in sorrow but rejoicing in the wedding feast. Fasting will have its place, but only once the Bridegroom is taken away, which is a prophetic reference to His Passion.This exchange exposes not only the Pharisees' superficial religiosity but also unveils a central mystery of salvation: In Christ, God draws near in spousal love. To follow Him is to enter into a covenant of joy and grace.Though nuptial imagery might seem more naturally relatable to women, it expresses a truth that transcends gender. Just as “a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body” (Genesis 2:24), so each soul is called to a transforming union with Christ. This is not merely symbolic; it is a real and spiritual union. We are called to become His Mystical Body. Saint Paul captures this mystery when he writes, “I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:19–20).Traditionally, this union has been described as Mystical Marriage or Divine Union. Saint Teresa of Ávila favored the image of Mystical Marriage, emphasizing the soul's intimate, spousal love for Christ. Saint John of the Cross more often spoke of Divine Union, highlighting the complete transformation of the soul in God. Though they use different terms, both describe the soul's ultimate vocation: perfect union with Christ.In Heaven, when this Divine Union is fully realized, fasting and other penitential acts will be unnecessary. During Jesus' earthly ministry, the disciples did not fast because the Bridegroom was with them—an extraordinary grace unique to those three years. But after He was “taken away,” fasting took on a new importance, becoming a participation in His Passion and a preparation for the Wedding Feast to come.Reflect today on the glorious end to which you are called: union with Christ, your Bridegroom. This journey requires sacrifice, so fasting and penance remain essential. Yet when we keep our eyes fixed on the joy of Divine Union, every sacrifice becomes lighter and a joyful embrace of love. The difficulty of fasting and penance is overshadowed by the union they help bring about. Resolve to fast, to pray, and to stay close to Christ, the Bridegroom of your soul. He is the faithful Spouse who will never abandon you.Bridegroom of Your Church, You came to enter into union with us, Your sons and daughters by grace. By Your Incarnation, You wedded Yourself to humanity, and through Your Passion, You purified Your Bride, the Church. As I journey toward the Wedding Feast of Heaven, purify me now through acts of penance and prayer, so that my soul may be ready for the Divine Union to come. Jesus, I trust in You.

The starting point is simple: God's word never comes back empty. It accomplishes the thing He sent it to do. It heals, it delivers, and it sets people free, including a man who carried guilt and shame for over twenty years and walked out from under it in a single class. From there the call gets practical. James 1:5 says if you lack wisdom for a decision or a circumstance, ask God, and He gives generously, without rebuke or blame. No performance requirement. No thirty day clean streak. Trav walks through the time he asked God for a word over his daughter's medical testing and heard a phrase he had never used in his life, then went and found it sitting in Isaiah 61. The fear left the moment the word arrived. Then comes verse six, the warning about doubt. A double minded man keeps one foot in the spiritual and one foot in his own reasoning, and Scripture says he should not expect to receive anything. That shows up most often in health and in finances, and it usually does not sound like unbelief. It sounds like "I know God is my healer, but." Taught live on the Increase Life Bible Study.

Season 3, Episode 2In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series through Galatians by examining Paul's forceful argument in Galatians 3:1–14. Paul begins by asking the Galatians a series of pointed questions: if they received the Spirit through faith, why would they now turn to works of the Law to complete what God began? From there, the discussion moves to Abraham, who was counted righteous by faith centuries before the Mosaic Law, showing that justification by faith is not a New Testament innovation but part of God's redemptive plan from the beginning. Michael and Zach then explore why the Law cannot justify sinners, how its demands expose humanity to the curse, and how Christ redeems His people by becoming a curse for them. The episode culminates in Paul's central contrast: righteousness is not achieved by adding human works to Christ, but received through faith in the One who bore the curse and secured the blessing promised to Abraham.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/QAYG64ep4nsMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stoneLicense code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com
Hosts Shelly and June Volk continue their series on living in "newness of life," focusing on how the daily Christian walk requires surrendering human self-reliance to allow the Holy Spirit to produce authentic spiritual fruit. Key Takeaways Defining the Christian Walk: Scriptural references to "walking" signify a total way of life—living by faith, in the Spirit, in wisdom, light, and truth. Prophetic Heart Restoration: Ezekiel 36:26–27 serves as a foundational promise where God replaces a hardened heart with a heart of flesh, enabling believers to live out His statutes through the indwelling Spirit. Unity in the Body: Rebirth into newness of life unifies believers across backgrounds (Jew and Gentile) into one body under Christ. Embracing Necessary Transition: Transitioning into a new spiritual condition can be uncomfortable or disturbing, but stepping out of old habits is essential to entering God's fullness. Scripture Links Romans 6:1–4: Buried through baptism into death to walk in newness of life. 2 Corinthians 5:17: Becoming a new creation where old things pass away. Colossians 2:6–7: Four characteristics of walking in Christ: rooted, built up, established in faith, and overflowing with gratitude. Ezekiel 36:26–27: Promise of a new heart, a new spirit, and the indwelling Holy Spirit to observe God's statutes. 2 Corinthians 5:7: Walking by faith, not by sight. Galatians 5:16: Walking by the Spirit. Ephesians 4:1: Walking in a manner worthy of the calling. Ephesians 5:15: Walking wisely. 1 John 1:7: Walking in the light. 1 John 2:6: Walking in the same manner as Jesus walked. 3 John 1:3: Walking and living in the truth. John 14:6: Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life. Support the show: https://shellyandjunevolk.com/product/partner-with-us-psalm-127-fund/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
John Cooper of Skillet recruits the Robertsons for his plan to reclaim music and culture for Jesus. John reflects on meeting Phil during his Alzheimer's journey and learning Skillet's music helped inspire a Duck Commander cameraman's dramatic transformation.

The Abrahamic Covenant is the most foundational covenant in Scripture—and God alone signed it.In this episode, Pastor Stephen Martin continues the Why Israel Matters series with a deep dive into the Abrahamic Covenant in Genesis 12–17. Perfect for the commute, the gym, or the drive, this teaching walks you through the covenant ceremony where God put Abraham to sleep and passed through the pieces alone—making the Abrahamic Covenant unilateral, unconditional, and eternal.You'll Learn:✅ How the Abrahamic Covenant differs from the conditional Mosaic Covenant—ownership versus experience in the land✅ Why Genesis 15:6 is "the gospel before the gospel" and what it says about your own salvation✅ How the three pillars of the Abrahamic Covenant—land, seed, and blessing—shape all of redemptive history✅ Why the same God who bound Himself to Abraham has bound Himself to every Christian through Christ
As God gave blessings and curses to the members of the Old Covenant, God has given even greater and far more stunning blessings and curses to the members of the New Covenant. What are the blessings and curses of the New Covenant? This episode answers this super-important question to encourage the listener in the infinitely generous and merciful New Covenant grace of God. Scripture referenced: Exodus 19:1-20, Exodus 20:1-21, Exodus 24:1-8, Deuteronomy 28:1-68, Psalm 23:6, Isaiah 53:1-12, Isaiah 61:10, Jeremiah 31:31-34, Ezekiel 36:22-27, Matthew 5:14-16, Matthew 6:19-33, Matthew 26:36-42, Luke 22:39-44, John 3:1-18, John 10:27-30, John 17:1-5, Romans 3:20-26, Romans 8:1-8, 1 Corinthians 1:18, 1 Corinthians 15:35-58, 2 Corinthians 5:5, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Galatians 3:13, Galatians 3:26, Ephesians 1:3-14, Ephesians 2:1-5, Ephesians 3:3-12, Philippians 1:6, Philippians 2:12-13, Colossians 1:13-14, 24-29, Colossians 2:1-3, Colossians 3:1-4, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1 Peter 2:9-10, Hebrews 2:10-18, Hebrews 5:7-8, Hebrews 12:5-11
How do they know you follow Christ? It's easy to say we believe in Jesus, attend church, know Scripture, and identify as a Christian but is there evidence of Him in the way we actually live? In this episode of Let It B, we're taking an honest look at what it means to be known by our fruit. The fruit of the Spirit isn't just something we talk about on Sundays. It should show up in our everyday lives in our relationships, our decisions, our reactions, our character, and especially in the moments when we're tested. What happens when someone disrespects you? When you're disappointed? When you're hurt? When nobody is watching? When obedience means standing alone? We'll talk about what it means to be in the world but not of the world, to be set apart without becoming self-righteous, and to be okay with looking different when following Christ means refusing to compromise. Through the stories of Joseph and Daniel, we'll look at what it means to remain faithful when doing the right thing comes at a cost. But this episode isn't about perfection. It's about transformation. Because the question isn't simply, "Do you call yourself a Christian?" The question is: Where's the evidence? If someone watched your life for 30 days without hearing you say the word "Christian," what would they conclude about who you belong to? Your fruit reveals what has taken root in you. Scriptures referenced: 2 Corinthians 3 : 16–18 John 15 : 4–5, 14–16 Matthew 7 : 16–23 Galatians 5 : 22–23 John 17 : 14–18 Genesis 39 Daniel 1 & 6 Matthew 25 : 31–46
Galatians 5:13-18
Galatians 3:8 contains one of the most astonishing sentences Paul ever wrote: "The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham." The gospel was not launched at Pentecost. It was preached — in advance, in seed form — to a man in Ur of the Chaldeans. This sermon sits with that claim. What exactly was the gospel preached to Abraham, and how does it connect to the third thing Jesus said was written — that repentance and forgiveness should be proclaimed to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem? The mission to the nations was not a backup plan or a new development. It was the original promise, now fulfilled in the One who suffered, rose, and sent his disciples from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. We close where Luke 24 ends: with witnesses who finally understood what had been written all along — and were sent.Special Guest: Nick Carter.

Most Christians talk about the body being a temple — and then don't think much about it after that. Derek Saltou does this for a living, and he's got some thoughts.Jason sits down with Derek (owner of Chiron Built Fitness) to talk about what physical discipline and spiritual discipline actually have in common, how fitness can quietly become an idol, and why the connection between caring for your body and caring for your soul is more direct than most people realize. They also get into the empathy trap, Paul's growth from Galatians to Timothy, and why "do whatever he tells you" might be the most underrated verse in the Bible.Questions or feedback?

“Eat my flesh and drink my blood.” If you've ever read John 6 and thought, "What does that even mean?!" You are not alone. Understanding this phrase Jesus used becomes a doorway into communion, the Word of God, and the kind of spiritual discernment Scripture says we must have if we want to truly understand Jesus' voice.We lean into the Bible's plain contrast between the natural mind and the Spirit-led mind, using 1 Corinthians to explain why spiritual truth can sound like “foolishness” when we try to process it only through human logic. Then we get practical about the daily war between flesh and spirit, pulling from Galatians 5 and Romans 7 to name the struggle, the stumbles, and the hope: God's hand still reaches out and says, get up. Our reasoning matters, but it has to submit to the supremacy of God's Word and God's will.From there, we build the meaning of communion from the ground up: Deuteronomy 8, manna in the wilderness, and “man shall not live by bread alone.” That foundation leads straight into Jesus as the bread of life, the manifest Word made flesh, and why His shocking language about flesh and blood is calling us to something spiritual, life-giving, and covenant-deep.

What if someone else is still going because you haven't quit? Leadership, ministry, parenting, mentoring, and simply caring for people can become exhausting—especially when you're giving everything you have and can't see whether it's making a difference. In this episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards explores perseverance, discouragement, faith, and the power of continuing to show up. Through Gideon's impossible odds, Galatians 6:9, Hebrews 10:24, and nearly three decades of Doug's own ministry experience, this episode challenges us to trust God with the results and remember the people standing beside us. In this episode: Why your impact may be bigger than what you can currently see What to do when you're exhausted and tempted to quit Gideon and trusting God when the odds make no sense Galatians 6:9 and not growing tired of doing good Why perseverance isn't meant to happen alone Encouraging youth ministry volunteers and fellow leaders Why someone else may keep going because you did Staying faithful when the harvest isn't visible yet Protecting your family and closest relationships while serving others Trusting God to accomplish what you cannot Whether you're a youth pastor, youth ministry volunteer, teacher, coach, parent, mentor, Christian leader, or someone trying to faithfully invest in the next generation, this conversation is for you.

Hosts Shelly and June Volk conclude their series on living in "newness of life," exploring how believers are called to internalize God's Word, yield to His counsel, and observe His covenant with a restored heart. Key Takeaways The Internalized Word: Living in newness of life requires ingesting God's Word into our daily lives rather than letting it remain passive text on a page. A New Heart and Spirit: Drawing from Old Testament promises, God replaces a hardened heart with a pliable, responsive heart where His law is written directly (Ezekiel 36:26–27, Jeremiah 31:31). Yielding to Divine Counsel: Spiritual alignment means surrendering human plans and personal ideals to let the Lord's counsel stand firm (Proverbs 19:21). Earthly Preparation for Eternal Life: Walking daily in the light of Christ serves as earthly preparation for eternal fellowship with God, keeping believers grounded in peace rather than worldly fear. Scripture Links Romans 5:18–21: Justification and grace reigning through Jesus Christ compared to the transgression of Adam. Romans 6:1–4: Burial through baptism into death to walk in newness of life. Ephesians 4:22–24: Laying aside the old self and putting on the new self created in righteousness. Colossians 2:6–7: Four characteristics of walking in Christ: rooted, built up, established in faith, and overflowing with gratitude. Jeremiah 29:11: God's plans to give His people a future and a hope. Romans 8:28: God causing all things to work together for good for those called according to His purpose. James 1:17: Every good and perfect gift coming down from the Father of Lights. Proverbs 19:21: The counsel of the Lord standing above human plans. Ezekiel 36:26–27: Receiving a new heart of flesh and the Spirit to walk in God's statutes. Jeremiah 31:31: The promise of the New Covenant written on the heart. Galatians 5:25: Living and walking by the Spirit of God. Ephesians 2:10: God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works prepared beforehand.

This week, Pastor Jeremy continues our series, “From Garden to City,” with a look at the covenants God made with His people in the years between Adam and Christ. Like the covenant in Eden, the Mosaic covenant was one where God dwelt among humans and gave them land to rule and extend His rule. In both covenants, disobedience led to expulsion from the land and death. And just as Adam and Eve violated the covenant of Eden, the people of Israel violated the covenant of Moses. But God is faithful, and remains faithful even when we're unfaithful. His good plan to deliver humanity could not be thwarted by our rebellion, and in Christ, He provided the ultimate atonement that the Mosaic covenant foreshadowed.This week, our hosts continue their discussion on the series, from garden to city, some of the talking points were, why we didn't just go from the fall straight to the solution which is Jesus, and deep dive on what the book of Galatians is talking about.

This week, Pastor Abraham tells us about Galatians 4:12-20. want to hear more? Join us @ 10Am on Sunday mornings in-person or online @live.cbcnyc.org
From the very beginning, God's covenant with humanity was never about rules. It was about faith. When Abraham believed God, that belief was credited to him as righteousness — not his adherence to a law, because the law didn't exist yet. It came 430 years later. Paul's argument in Galatians 3 is that the law never replaced the original covenant of faith — it supplemented it. It came into existence because of transgressions, because people kept making decisions that drove their lives off a cliff, and God knew they needed something to keep them from the edge.Think of a guardrail. Nobody builds a guardrail in the ocean or in the river you'd fall into. They build it in the safe zone — the place where you can make contact and be redirected before it's too late. That's what the law was for. Not to make you righteous — only Jesus can do that. But to keep you from blowing your life apart before you even understand what's at stake.This is the foundation for what Paul calls a personal code of honor — not a list of rules imposed from outside, but guardrails you build in the safe zones of your life before the dangerous curves arrive. Life disasters don't announce themselves. Nobody wakes up and decides to ruin their marriage, their finances, or their career. They make one small decision that doesn't seem like a big deal — and then it cascades. The time to think about guardrails is before you're already in the air.Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

Paul argues that the law was never meant to make us righteous — only to keep us from life disasters. Does that change how you think about rules and biblical principles? How so?2. Where in your life are you most vulnerable to a decision that "doesn't seem like a big deal" but could set off a cascade of consequences?3. Do you have personal guardrails — specific lines you've decided not to cross — in the areas that matter most? If not, what's kept you from building them?

This week's scripture:Psalm 26Romans 6v1-14Is baptism just an outward sign, or does it provide capacity? When we think of Jesus' promises for us in The Sermon on the Mount, Galatians 5:22-23b, Romans 8:16;1, and 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, how do you make sense of your own character disappointment? How is God calling you to partner with him? What are your strategies for character transformation?
Episode Overview In this episode of the Ministry Architects podcast, hosts Anthony Rogers and Mike Crain sit down with Philip Nation to unpack the state of biblical literacy, effective strategies for guiding those in your care toward scripture engagement, and practical ways ministry staff can avoid burnout. Whether you're a senior pastor, youth pastor, kids director, or ministry volunteer, this conversation offers actionable wisdom on discipling through scripture, building sustainable personal faith habits, and evaluating biblical content.
What does it mean to truly live in the freedom Christ has given us? In Galatians 5:1–12, Pastor Korey Wilkinson examines Paul's warning not to trade the freedom of grace for the burden of legalism. Our standing with God is not something we can earn or maintain through human performance—Christ has already finished the work.
Galatians 5:16-26 tells us that because Christ has freed us from slavery to the law and to our sinful desires, we are called to walk by the Spirit and bear fruit for God.
No Matter How Deep Your Hole, that You have Dug for Yourself, You Can Call on God the Creator of the Universe for Help MESSAGE SUMMARY: Prayer is your conduit for communion with God. Through prayer, you are in God's Presence; and you can invite His help in your life's situations. The best way to learn how to have this communion with God is to just do it and use your normal conversational words; however, the words of Scripture are powerful and work strongly. Just pray with your heart in conversation with God. Jonah, in Jonah 2:1-2, models for us that no matter how deep our situational hole, which we have dug for ourselves, we can call on God the Creator of the Universe for help: “Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish, saying, ‘I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.'". TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because 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).

In Acts 14:19- 22, Paul is stoned in the city of Lystra. Those stoning him thought he was dead; they dragged him outside the city, but the disciples gathered around Paul and he got up and he and Barnabas left for the town of Derbe. It's easy to look at this story and in a human sense say, "Well, that didn't turn out well," when actually some amazing things went on there in Lystra. In Galatians 6:17 we read Paul talking about this event saying, "from now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus." The leftover marks from the stoning. And 2 Corinthians 11:25 Paul tells us "…once I was pelted with stones." Yet inspite of that horrible event - 3 lives were changed (2 Timothy 1:5) - 3 people were converted to faith in Christ in the city of Lystra: A grandmother - Lois A mother - Eunice A teenager - Timothy After being stoned, believe it our not, Paul goes back to Lystra to see Timothy. Acts 16:1-2 tells us that Paul takes Timothy as his son in the faith and Timothy accompanies Paul in the following missionary journeys. Timothy becomes one of Paul's dearest friends and trusted co-workers. This all happened in a city where everything looked like it had gone wrong. What we learn: A profound lesson: often times in those places where we feel things have not worked out well, God is working behind the scenes to do things that are absolutely amazing. From these verses we get to see what happened in the spiritual realm at the stoning at Lystra that day. God was moving mightily, even though with human eyes it didn't look good. It was! God was working! As we face challenges and difficulties today, we need to be strong and courageous and take heart, because just as the Hebrew Scriptures say: "The Lord our God is with us!" Now What?

Tuesday, 1 September 2026 The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, Matthew 22:23 “In that, the ‘day', they approached Him, Sadducees (saying not is ‘resurrection'), and they queried Him.” (CG) In the previous verse, the Pharisees and Herodians marveled at Jesus' words and departed. Maybe having seen or heard about this, another group comes forward, ready to test Him. Matthew records, “In that, the ‘day', they approached Him, Sadducees.” This sect was first seen, along with the Pharisees, in Matthew 3:7. This was at the time John the Baptist was baptizing in the Jordan. They were noted again, several times in Matthew 16. Their specific interaction at that time was with Jesus as they, along with the Pharisees, asked for a sign from heaven. Of this group of religious leaders, Matthew specifically notes a point of doctrine that they held to, which is “(saying not is ‘resurrection').” Surprisingly, this is a new word in Scripture, anastasis, a standing up again. It is from the word an anistémi, to stand up. That is prefixed with the word ana, up, but used in various other ways in a distributive manner. In the New Testament, other than Luke 2:34, anastasis is always used in reference to a resurrection. In Luke 2:34, it says – “Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, ‘Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising [anastasis] of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against...” As for the reason they have come to Jesus, Matthew records, “and they queried Him.” The word used to describe their query is one of deliberate asking. Thus, their query is specifically designed to glean an answer or response from Jesus about a matter. Life application: In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul writes the following – “Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. 14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. 15 Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. 16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.” 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 The key point of Christian faith is that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The cross of Christ is the key focus of our faith, and the point on which every Christian's boast should be directed (see Galatians 6:14), but a crucifixion without a subsequent resurrection is a pointless place to direct one's hope. Many people have been crucified in human history. They died, and they remain dead. But Jesus was resurrected from the tomb. This event then solidifies the meaning of the cross. Someone can say, “I will give up my life to save another.” And, in fact, many have done that throughout human history. But that type of saving is only to prolong the temporary life we live. A soldier could jump on a grenade to save his fellow soldier, but the saved soldier could be shot dead thirty seconds later. Both are dead and both will remain dead. However, no human can die for another's sin when they have already inherited Adam's fallen nature. The sin is there in us from the moment we are conceived. Various pagan religions sacrificed babies, young virgins, etc., all hoping for some type of atonement, but such a sacrifice is ineffectual because of original sin. Jesus, however, was born without Adam's fallen nature. His father is God. Thus, with a human mother, He is the God/Man. He was born without sin, He lived under the law without sinning, and He died in fulfilment of the law, taking away sin committed under law for those who trust in Him. The resurrection proves that our sin is atoned for. It also proves that we are eternally saved (because we are no longer under law, and it is by law that sin is imputed). The resurrection also proves that Jesus is God. As all humans who descend from Adam have sin through their father, and because Jesus resurrected, it proves that Jesus' Father is God. As all beings reproduce after their own kind, the resurrection provides irrefutable proof that Jesus Christ is the God/Man. Hope? Hope? We have the greatest hope of all when we put our trust in Jesus Christ. Nothing can ever separate us from God again when we come to Him through Jesus Christ. Let us remember this as we pass through this world of toil, trouble, trial, and times of temptation or turmoil. These things are bound to come, but Christ has overcome the world. For those who are in Him, they too have overcome the world. Praise God for Jesus Christ our Lord! We praise and exalt You for what You have done for us, O God. The majesty of what You have done is more wonderful than all else. Thank You for the giving of Jesus Christ our Lord, in whom, we now have the hope of the resurrection to eternal life. Amen.
This week, Ryan Patrick Murphy shares a message from Galatians 6:7–9 titled "Don't Give Up Before the Harvest." Using the biblical metaphor of sowing and reaping, Ryan unpacks what it looks like to partner with God for breakthrough rather than waiting passively for a "lightning zap from heaven."Ryan walks through five principles drawn from the text: the law of sowing and reaping works because of who God is, not because of our effort or performance; everything in the Kingdom starts small, like a redwood seed or the eight people who first gathered to plant the church; a seed is worthless unless it's planted and watered, meaning dreams require participation, not just waiting; you reap what you sow, so planting bitterness, gossip, or fear yields more of the same, while planting love, joy, and gratitude produces a harvest of the same; and finally, that there's a real delay — a "summer" of watering and tending — between planting and harvest that demands grit rather than giving up at the first sign of difficulty. He then names five practical seeds believers can sow: finances, words, prayer, service, and tears, each illustrated with personal stories and testimonies from the church's history.At the center of the message is the conviction that sowing and reaping is anchored in the nature and character of God — He is a good provider and a good Father, not a distant force to be managed through effort or earned through performance. Ryan pairs this with a theology of redemptive suffering: because Jesus's own suffering was not the end of His story, our tears and hardship are never wasted either, but are transformed into the seeds of a coming harvest.Ultimately, this sermon is an invitation to keep sowing — in prayer, in community, in generosity, in the words we speak — even when the ground feels hard and the harvest feels far off. Ryan calls the church to trade discouragement for grit, believing that God is faithful to bring a harvest to those who don't give up in seasons of small beginnings and slow growth.

Hosts Shelly and June Volk continue their discussion on living in "newness of life," emphasizing that spiritual transformation is not self-improvement or moral adjustment, but a total, Spirit-led change of nature and daily walk. Key Takeaways A Total Transformation, Not Self-Improvement: True spiritual rebirth requires laying aside the old Adamic nature and being freed from sin to become "slaves of righteousness" under the Holy Spirit. Four Characteristics of the Christian Walk: Based on Colossians 2:6–7, walking in Christ requires being firmly rooted in Him, built up in Him, established in faith, and overflowing with gratitude. Living by the Faith of Christ: Spiritual stability comes not from self-effort or personal faith, but from yielding to the faith of Jesus living within the believer (Galatians 2:20). An Eternal Perspective in Hard Times: Maintaining a mindset centered on God's eternal promises allows believers to experience peace and trust His purpose (Romans 8:28), even amidst personal trials or global trouble. Scripture Links Romans 6:1–4, 11, 18: Dying to sin, walking in newness of life, and becoming servants of righteousness. 2 Corinthians 5:17: Becoming a brand-new creation in Christ. Ephesians 4:22–24: Laying aside the old self and putting on the new self created in righteousness. Colossians 2:6–7: Walking in Christ, firmly rooted, built up, established in faith, and overflowing with gratitude. Galatians 5:25: Living and walking by the Spirit. Ephesians 2:10: Created in Christ Jesus for good works prepared beforehand. Jeremiah 29:11: God's plans to give His people a future and a hope. Romans 8:28: God causing all things to work together for good for those who love Him.

Today we wrap up our study on water baptism by talking about why we baptize only in the name of Jesus. For reference, see Acts 2:38, 8:1-17, 10:43-48, 19:1-6, Romans 6:1-4, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:12
Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer became famous for his talent at age twenty. The art critics of his day called him “the greatest mind that ever expressed itself in line.” As his fame spread, influential people tried to hire him with promises of luxury and ease. Even other acclaimed artists such as Giovanni Bellini and Raphael revered his work. In what experts consider to be his best self-portrait, Dürer mingled his physical characteristics with what he thought Jesus might have looked like. He painted himself with long wavy hair, a beard, and eyes that seemed to convey a sense of divine purpose. Many assumed this piece was a prideful statement about the artist’s opinion of himself. Others who were familiar with his virtuous character believed the painting wasn’t blasphemous or big-headed but aspirational. They believed Dürer wanted to live a life that would allow people to see Jesus in him. If we truly know Christ, this is our desire as well. Believing in Him and accepting His death and resurrection as the basis for our relationship with God means we should now live for Jesus—not for ourselves (Galatians 2:19). We live for Him and He lives in us and works through us. The apostle Paul said this about his spiritual transformation: “I no longer live, but Christ lives in me” (v. 20). May the glory of Christ shine through our lives today so that the world sees Him in us.
What is envy? A feeling of discontentment or resentment over the opportunities, possessions, or blessings of another. I once heard envy described as the combination of a desire for something, with the resentment that another is enjoying it and you are not.Main Points:1. It's been my experience that envy is not a sin we readily confess. There is a deception that accompanies envy. We can be envious and not realize it. We can feel envy towards someone and not identify the feelings as sin.2. Envy invites comparison of relationships, success, status, or image. Envy is consuming, and it doesn't take long before you lose yourself in the constant and relentless comparisons, all while cultivating bitterness and hatred toward people in your life, sometimes the very people you once loved and appreciated.3. So, how can we protect our hearts from this sin? First and foremost, we must cultivate gratitude. When we focus on the blessings in our own lives rather than fixating on what others have, we develop a spirit of thankfulness.Today's Scripture Verses:Proverbs 4:23 - “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”Galatians 5:26 - “Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other."Proverbs 14:30 - “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
What does it look like to move from merely believing to truly receiving? As Pastor Adam teaches, salvation is just the beginning. In Believing is Receiving, based on Galatians 3, Pastor Adam looks at the gift every believer receives the moment they come to faith and the ongoing filling of the Holy Spirit that Scripture calls us toward next. Tune in to the latest message in the Seeker series.

We're not just a church. We're a Family.Our Vision is clear, simple, and unique. Our vision is Jesus in you. Our vision is for the people of God to have a faith that holds them. The kind of faith that vanquishes doubt, verifies identity, and voraciously contends for inner peace. A faith that removes the past, clarifies the present, and breathes life into the future. Our vision is the Kingdom of God built within the people of this obscure, yet mighty generation. A kingdom so great that its purpose destroys the common lack of self worth. A kingdom that sharpens the eyes, tenses the muscles, and readies itself for the battle against darkness. A Kingdom that brings purpose and healing to those who have failed more than succeeded, who are sinners more than saints, and who have known more pain than pleasure. Our vision is to challenge the weak and unproductive church of our day. To step beyond those who are religiously immature and search out those who for their love for Christ cannot be offended. Our hope is to raise warriors instead of those who think God only exists to keep bad things from happening. To raise those who know that following Christ means suffering loss yet gaining all things. Our vision is clear, simple, and unique…. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
