By Tony Stith - Prophecy tells us that religious persecution is coming. But, as Christians, we face adversity for our faith in small, sometimes not so small, ways even now. The story of how Daniel gave God the glory in the midst of the adversity he faced as a captive in Babylon provides lessons for how you and I

Ps Kojo Botsio brings a powerful message unpacking the importance of living a life which is glorifying God and not just satisfying selfish desires.

Glorifying God in Every Season (1 Corinthians 7:1-10) by Harvest Church

In this message, Pastor Cam Stephens explores 1 Peter 4:12–19 and the Apostle Peter's powerful encouragement to believers facing suffering and hardship. Peter reminds the church not to be surprised by trials, but to see them as opportunities for spiritual growth and deeper identification with Christ. Through suffering, Christians are shaped, refined, and strengthened to glorify God in every circumstance.This teaching helps us understand how enduring hardship with faith and perseverance can become a testimony of hope and trust in Jesus. Even in pain, rejection, or difficulty, believers are called to remain faithful, knowing that God is at work through every season of life.Grant Church – Winnipeg, ManitobaScripture:1 Peter 4:12–19Speaker:Cam StephensTopics covered:• Christian suffering and perseverance• Spiritual growth through trials• Glorifying God in hardship• Faithfulness under pressure• Hope and endurance in ChristSubscribe for weekly sermons and biblical teaching from Grant Church.#1Peter #ChristianSuffering #FaithInTrials #BibleTeaching #SpiritualGrowth #GrantChurch #HopeInChrist #PerseveranceWatch the complete service: https://www.youtube.com/live/--JluhpM90Y?si=saHyImpBk4f5lHRgWe would love to hear from you!Instagram: @grantchurch.caFacebook: grantchurch.caEngage on our website: https://www.grantchurch.ca

John 17:1–4 (ESV) In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall teaches what truly brings glory to God. As Jesus prayed to the Father, He revealed that He brought glory to God by faithfully completing the work He had been given to do. Pastor Sumrall explains that every believer has assignments and responsibilities entrusted to them by God. Glorifying God is not just about words or emotions, it is about faithfully finishing what He has called us to do, whether in ministry, family, career, or daily life. As you watch this episode, encouraged to become a finisher, faithfully completing the work God has placed before you and bringing honor to Him through a life of obedience and perseverance. ---- Don't forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 

In the previous devotional, I talked about holiness. These days, we don't tend to talk about holiness too much. Perhaps we think it will make us sound snooty.  Or weird. However, the fact remains that God's people are called to live in a way that is distinct from the world around us. With God's help, […]

How are you subconsciously buying into the lie that there is a secular-sacred divide?   In this episode, Jeff and Sharon discuss:  The intersection of faith and finance. Glorifying God through your business leadership. Investing in the things that will last for eternity. Communicating with others through a common language narrative.    Key Takeaways:  God's ways work at all times, and they work for believers and non-believers. As a business person, you have a stronger pulpit than the pastor. You are with your employees for 40+ hours a week, not only 30 minutes per week. Busyness is not an indicator of success. It is a sneaky trap for comparison. Intentionality with what God has called you to is the key to success. Spouses should be having the money conversations, including working with the financial advisor, together. They should be on the same page and allow the money to tell a narrative.    "I'm a firm believer that when we construct our business around fulfilling God's purpose and God's mission, then not only are employees going to be impacted, but our vendors will be impacted, our clients will be impacted, and, plus, it's just more joyful to live God's way." —  Sharon Epps   Episode References:  Women Doing Well: https://womendoingwell.org/ Kingdom Advisors: https://kingdomadvisors.com/   About Sharon Epps: Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors.

God can choose anyone He wants to exalt to a position of leadership, but whether He chooses us for that or not we must remember that our lives are meant to magnify Him. When others look at our lives they should see God's greatness through the hope that we cling to in all circumstances.

Message by Pastor J.J. Stanbridge Text: Matthew 11:25-30 The post G4 – Glorifying God in our Spiritual Growth appeared first on Flint Hill Baptist Church.

Our thanksgiving for this property must be rooted in the gospel, always proclaiming the glory of God. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.

"It's Complicated" is our series at Fusion Christian Church on relationships. Everyone knows our relationships are messy, but not everyone knows how to navigate them. This series will provide godly, biblical principles for keeping your relationships much less complicated! In Part 2, Joel Pierce (our worship director) talks about how to have a godly influence on the people around you.Influence is wasted if it does not point to Christ.We can influence people in many ways, but unless we point to Christ we are wasting our time. People might remember you fondly for telling good jokes and being a fun person, but these things are temporary. By pointing people to Christ in all we do we can have an impact on their eternity, not just their present.Give God the Glory.In leadership, as in all things, we must learn to give God the glory. Any time you attempt to influence people, you are attempting leadership, even if you have no official position. By giving God glory, we not only recognize our creator, but we help keep ourselves out of the spotlight. in that way, giving God glory is really about keeping ourselves humble. If you desire influence in order to make yourself look better, you have the wrong attitude. Glorifying God instead maintains a humble attitude.Start Small.If you're trying to have a positive impact on others, it's important to focus on the people around you first. Stop worrying about the people who are not in your sphere of influence and focus on the people who are. If you are faithful with the few people God has placed around you, God will reward your diligence and increase your influence according to your abilities.Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy.Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy refer to right teaching and right practice, respectively. When you combine them, they encapsulate what we believe and how we live out that belief. If we can maintain those two things effectively, then we are on our way to setting a right example in our lives. God calls all Christians to set an example for those around us. If we can keep our doctrine and practice sound, then we will encourage those around us through our example. 

Does following Jesus mean retreating from everyday life or learning how to fully engage it? In the kickoff episode of our new series Not Just Sacred, we explore the biblical vision of a faith that encompasses ALL of life. From work and money to reading, sports, and ordinary pleasures, this episode reframes the false divide between the sacred and the secular. As we trace the Bible's story, from creation to new creation, we discover that God is not abandoning the world, but redeeming it. Our hope is that this series helps you learn to glorify God not by withdrawing, but by faithfully engaging the world he called “good.”

www.longviewbaptistchurch.org Psalm 34:1-4 Wednesday, January 14, 2026 1. Exalt the Lord with a lifestyle of praise. 2. Glorifying God shows the world there is hope. 3. Glorify God with those around you.

“God, what do you have for me?” In today's conversation, we're reframing the idea of “calling” through Scripture and real life.  We'll look at biblical examples like Joseph and David, who weren't chasing titles or platforms — they were simply doing the next right thing, trusting God, and stewarding what He had already given them. In this episode, we talk about: What the Bible actually teaches about calling and purpose Why faithfulness in everyday life matters more than big plans How small, obedient decisions make a huge spiritual impact Glorifying God in marriage, work, motherhood, friendships, and business Recognizing and stewarding the unique gifts God has placed inside you Why being plugged into the body of Christ is essential for growth and stepping into what God has for you How prayer brings clarity when you're unsure what God is asking of you If you've been feeling pressure to “figure everything out,” this episode will help you rest, refocus, and move forward with faith.

TODAY'S TREASURELet Your work appear to Your servants, and Your majesty to their children.Psalm 90:16Send us a comment!Support the show

TODAY'S TREASURE In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.”  And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.Luke 1:26-38 ESVSend us a comment!Support the show

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton, the indomitable country queen nearing her 80th birthday, shared a deeply personal reflection this weekend, telling Whiskey Riff her sole life goal now is to lift people up and glorify God, a heartfelt glimpse into her enduring spirit amid holiday buzz. Inside the Magic reports that her cherished Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge slashed operations on December 14, closing at 6 p.m. instead of the full day due to biting winter weather, disappointing fans eyeing the Smoky Mountain Christmas festivities and highlighting the parks seasonal vulnerabilities. No direct involvement from Dolly herself surfaced there, but it underscores her empires ongoing heartbeat. Meanwhile, her name sparkles across yuletide stages nationwide, with Concerts50 listing a tribute show Dolly Partons Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol set for December 21 at Sharon L. Morse Performing Arts Center in The Villages, Florida, tickets fetching up to 187 dollars, alongside Ticketmaster noting a Greensboro, North Carolina, performance on December 17 and JCCC announcing one December 11 in Yardley Hall. The Carson Center and Iowa State Center echo similar tour stops through mid-December, proving her holiday musical legacy thrives via these polished productions. Business whispers from AOL hint at Dolly resuming oversight of her 650 million dollar empire, including Dollywood, despite recent health setbacks, though details stay vague and unconfirmed. House Beautiful revisited her festive flair, recalling from The Ellen Show how she decks multiple homes with themed treeslike water motifs at her lake houseand a 2024 People interview affirming she never skips family Christmas traditions. The Drinks Business recapped celebrity booze launches but slotted Dolly in last years roundup, with no fresh 2025 pours confirmed. Farther out, JamBase notes her Las Vegas residency kicks off September 2026 at Caesars Palace Colosseum, her first in 32 years, postponed from earlier health hiccups. Tributes like The Dolly Show at Hitchin Town Hall on December 16 keep her sparkle alive, but these past days paint a quieter Dolly, letting her brand and beliefs shine bright.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In the final week of Rhythms, Pastor Tyler invites us to see our bodies the way God sees them: as holy places where His Spirit dwells. Instead of viewing our bodies only through frustration, insecurity, or the pressure to perform, Scripture reminds us that we were created in God's image, formed with purpose, and called to glorify Him with our whole selves.Your strengths and your limitations are not accidents, they are opportunities to worship the God who is shaping you from the inside out.Questions for Reflection:• How are you using your strengths to worship God?• How are you using your weaknesses to worship God?

What does it mean to see work not as a curse but as part of God's original design? In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey is joined by board member Mark Van Drunen to welcome David L. Bahnsen for a rich conversation about his new book, Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life. Bahnsen is the founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, a private wealth management firm managing more than $4.5 billion in client assets. David is the author of Crisis of Responsibility: Our Cultural Addiction to Blame and How You Can Cure It, The Case for Dividend Growth: Investing in a Post-Crisis World, and There's No Free Lunch, 250 Economic Truths. Mark Van Drunen works in finance and is a ruling elder at Redeemer PCA in Hudson, Ohio. He serves on the Reformed Forum Board of Directors. Together, they explore how a robustly Reformed view of vocation challenges the sacred–secular divide, recovers the dignity of labor, and reorients our understanding of productivity and flourishing. Drawing from Genesis 1, Reformed anthropology, and the legacy of Kuyper, Bahnsen argues that work is not a mere means to consumption or status, but an essential expression of our identity as image-bearers of God. The discussion also addresses pressing contemporary questions—from the pitfalls of “work–life balance” and “follow your passion” mantras, to the theological problems with universal basic income and the cultural obsession with consumption. Listeners will be encouraged to see their daily labor as an act of worship, anticipating the greater work of the new creation secured in Christ. This is a conversation at the intersection of theology, economics, and discipleship—aimed at helping Christians recover a biblically grounded vision for work that fosters maturity in Christ and glorifies God in every sphere of life.

With so many decisions for us to make every day, why doesn't God tell us exactly what to do in each situation?
