A Series on the Psalms: November 2, 2025

Jude closes his letter with a doxology, a word of praise. Giving God praise has more to do with who He is than what is going on around us. When we know who God is, we are able to worship and give Him the praise He is worthy of. We were made to know and enjoy God, and worship is due to Him at all times. In Jude 24–25, we see that God is able to save us, protect us, and present us. He is our Savior, the one who rescues us from danger and delivers us from wrath. Once He saves us, we are His forever. He is able to keep us from falling and to present us blameless and spotless in His presence. Jesus has done the work for us. Our response is to confess, believe, repent, and give all glory to the One who is able.

A Life Pleasing to God - Giving God Praise and Glorification - Britt McCarter by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area

A walking (or sitting) meditation that you can use to pray and give God thanks for your pet

In this episode of The Church Planting Podcast, host Greg Nettle talks with Joey Odom about the intersection of faith, technology, and personal health. Joey—co-founder of ReclaimWell—explains how constant proximity to our phones is reshaping our relationships, productivity, and even our spiritual lives. They discuss the concept of "digital thorns" — how smartphones, though powerful tools for discipleship and ministry, can choke out meaningful relationships and intimacy with God. Joey shares practical ways to reclaim time and attention, including simple steps like five minutes a day away from your phone, accountability within small groups, and setting "phone-free" zones for family or worship. Greg and Joey also explore how church leaders can model digital wellness within their teams using ReclaimWell, an app that helps track intentional time spent away from devices. The conversation closes with encouragement for leaders to lead by example, prioritize presence, and put down their phones—literally—to restore focus and relational depth.   Podcast Contents: 00:00 – 01:10 | Introduction: Greg Nettle welcomes Joey Odom and sets up the topic of technology and faith. 01:10 – 02:30 | The rise of digital discipleship—and the problem of "digital thorns." 02:30 – 06:00 | How our relationship with phones mirrors childhood attachments and impacts relationships. 06:00 – 08:45 | Practical steps to break constant proximity and reshape habits. 08:45 – 11:00 | Building healthy phone boundaries in families and small groups. 11:00 – 13:30 | Swapping phones, redefining dependence, and Jesus' parable of the thorns. 13:30 – 17:00 | Introducing ReclaimWell—a wellness and productivity tool for digital balance. 17:00 – 21:00 | How the app works: habit loops, team leaderboards, and tracking intentional time away. 21:00 – 23:00 | The power of "Let me put down my phone" and valuing relationships. 23:00 – 25:00 | Giving God the first fruits of your day—disconnecting to reconnect spiritually. 25:00 – 28:45 | How churches can adopt ReclaimWell and lead staff in digital wellness. 28:45 – 29:05 | Closing thoughts and call to action: visit reclaimwell.com.

What gets your attention first thing in the morning? I've been reminded lately how important it is to give God the “first fruits” of my day - before the to-do list, before the noise, before the distractions. Just a few quiet moments with Him changes everything.

When a person becomes a Christian, there's a deep sense of relief; you're made right with God, forgiven of every sin, and promised heaven. That's absolutely amazing news for anyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ alone! But believing is just the beginning of God's plan for us. Too often people stop there, without realizing that God wants our believing to lead to becoming all He's designed us to be. In this series, From Believing to Becoming, we'll look at the simple yet life-changing practices that help us grow as followers of Jesus, guided by the Lakeshore purposes (5 G's) of Grace, Growth, Groups, Gifts, and Giving to God.

In our world, math is simple: give money away, and youll have less. But in Gods economy, the numbers work differently. Generosity doesn't subtract it multiplies. This series is all about discovering the blessing that comes fromfaithful generosity. When we trust God with our finances and choose to give, we open the door to His provision, peace, and abundance. It may not make sense on paper, butGod Mathalways adds up. Join us as we explore what it means to be generous Christians and to see how God transforms giving into growth!

When is the last time you gave a gift to God?

Pastor Lindsay's sermon begins with two illustrations—a child questioning the need for sleep and a phone plugged into the wrong charger—to show how rest and connection are vital to life. Just as our bodies need rest to be restored, our souls need worship to be spiritually renewed. The message connects to the church's five spiritual practices—Gather, Get Connected, Grow, Go, and Give—rooted in Acts 2:42–47. This sermon focuses on Gathering, or worshiping God. The biblical concept of First Fruits teaches that God deserves our first and best—our time, devotion, and resources. Worship means placing God above everything else and adoring Him for who He is. Psalm 103 gives reasons to worship: God forgives, heals, saves, loves, and sustains us endlessly. True worship is not passive attendance but offering our whole being—our thoughts, emotions, doubts, and gratitude—to God. Worship isn't about what we get out of it, but about honoring God because He is worthy. Yet, as a side benefit, worship restores our spirit, just as sleep restores the body. The sermon shares powerful examples of worship's impact—from personal experiences of deep connection during services to stories of global believers finding joy in worship despite hardship. Ultimately, worship honors God and transforms us. It reminds us of God's goodness, recenters our hearts, and renews our spiritual strength. The invitation closes by urging everyone to “praise the Lord and forget not all His benefits,” finding rest and restoration in Him. fmhouston.com

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Throughout the Bible we see the principle of First Things. The fact is the first releases the rest. Tithing is an important covenant act, because it resets Lordship in our lives. When we honor God with the first of our increase, we release His lordship over our finances and prevent the influence of the Spirit of Mammon. The enemy knows what happens when we put God first. Giving God our first 10% is something we cannot afford not to do. 

What areas do we let Satan get into that he can use against us? David had to get to the root of His problems, and we do too! Giving God the control over our lives, confessing the sin, and finding the freedom He promises us!

Title: The Assurance of Things Hoped ForSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 11:4–7Episode Overview:In this message from Hebrews 11:4–7, we are reminded that the only way to please God is by faith. Abel, Enoch, and Noah each reveal how genuine belief shapes our lives: offering our first and best to God, walking with Him as our greatest reward, and obeying His Word even when it seems unreasonable. Before any doing comes believing—the foundation of our confidence is in Christ's finished work. And yet, by faith, we can live in ways that bring joy to the heart of our Father.Key Highlights:• Faith before works: Why Hebrews insists that believing precedes doing.• Abel's offering: Giving God our first and best because He is worthy.• Enoch's walk: Communion with God as the greatest reward.• Noah's obedience: Trusting God's Word even when it defies human reasoning.• Life application: How faith changes our posture toward God's promises and commands.Call to Action:Ask yourself today: Am I living more like Abel or Cain? Am I treating God as first and best, walking daily with Him, and submitting to His Word? Take a step of faith this week—whether through generosity, intentional time with God, or obedience to His Word—and delight in knowing that by faith, your Father in heaven is pleased.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Rev. Dr. Harry L. White, Jr., preaching from the topic "Giving God Our Best" from 1 Chronicles 29:1-20. This podcast is an outreach of Watts Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC.

Bro Vincent Waltz - Wounded Spirit Ministries The sermon explores the transformative power of faith in navigating trauma, emphasizing that vulnerability and reliance on God's grace, rather than external solutions like medication or ministry involvement, are essential for healing. Drawing from personal experience with PTSD, the speaker recounts a journey from despair and resentment to finding solace and purpose through biblical counseling and a deeper understanding of the gospel as the foundation for strength and victory. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to surrender their pain to God, trusting that He can redeem their suffering and use it to display His glory, ultimately leading to a life of purpose and enduring hope.

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comI Corinthians 7The church poses questions to Paul about marriage and singleness. He offers guidance based on God's law while also considering their current circumstances. He emphasizes that marriage is good and serves as a way to avoid sexual immorality. They must recognize that the marriage commitment is crucial, as he advises them to reject divorce and, if they do divorce, to either remain unmarried or seek reconciliation. Even if married to an unbeliever, commitment and faithfulness can lead to the spouse's salvation. Furthermore, there is value in singleness, as it promotes an undivided focus on God. He advises believers to remain in their current situations, as persecution is approaching for God's people. In every situation, “undistracted devotion to the Lord” is the goal and necessary for both married and single Christians.  Christians face various seasons of life, including singleness, marriage, or widowhood. Paul reminds us in I Corinthians 7 that each of these situations is an opportunity to serve God faithfully. Whether married or single, we should focus on honoring God with undivided devotion. In marriage, this means a loving commitment to our spouse, reflecting Christ's faithfulness. For singles, it means embracing the freedom to serve God without distraction. Paul also encourages us to trust God's plan and remain content in the situations He has called us to, knowing He works for our good. This mindset should be evident to the world as we live in purity, faithfulness, and commitment to God's purposes, reflecting His glory in all relationships and circumstances. Giving God, who provides all that we need for life and godliness, thank You for the benefits of marriage. For the married, we commit to faithfulness and patience, living out Your purposes and uplifting souls in our home and everywhere our family has influence. For the unmarried, we pray for their strength to have hope in You, and to use this stage in life to accomplish incredible things in Your kingdom. In whatever circumstance, prepare us to be devoted to You regardless of persecution or trial. Give us contentment where we are and wisdom in whatever may come next.   Thought Questions: -       Describe the commitment God designed for marriage. What level of trust should exist? How strongly should we work to avoid divorce? -       Is it possible for an unbelieving spouse to be “sanctified through” their spouse? How should this encourage believers married to unbelievers? -       Singleness is not discussed enough among God's people. In this chapter, what are the advantages for someone who is not currently married?
