It's easy to hold onto bitterness and resentment when we feel rejected, so why does God ask us to forgive? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses five steps we can take to heal from rejection: Recognize when we experience rejection, accept Jesus as the example, let go of our bitterness, receive and believe God's provision, and accept ourselves. Pastor Allen speaks about how emotions and spiritual forces try to influence us, but following God's design for relationships brings spiritual freedom. We don't have to be defined by our pain—God values us, and He has already made provision to accept us into His family.
Aug. 23 & 24, 2025 - God CaresPastor Joshua Taylor1 Kings 19 | Study #20250824GUEST
Join Katy, Luke, and Dr. Wiles on this week's episode of "Tell Me More" as they dive deep into Dr. Wiles' powerful sermon "God Cares!" based on Romans 8:31-39. In a world where life can feel hazardous to our health, this conversation explores five foundational truths: God's unshakeable love and care, His constant presence, His intercession on our behalf, His empowering strength in our weakness, and the hope He provides through our suffering.The trio discusses how nothing can separate us from God's love and how His Spirit intercedes for us even when we don't know what to pray. They also catch up on the exciting happenings in the life of First Baptist Arlington and share updates from their community. As part of their 2025 theme "Flourishing Together: Rooted in Christ" and August's focus on "Gold's - God's Gym," this episode reminds listeners that we are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us.Perfect for anyone seeking encouragement in difficult times or wanting to deepen their understanding of God's faithful care.
Ephesians 4:25-32 shows why anger isn't just an emotional flare-up but is a spiritual issue that can oppose the work God is doing in us. Scripture calls us to be angry and not sin, but also warns that unresolved anger gives the devil a foothold, grieves the Holy Spirit, and shifts our focus away from God. We'll look at how anger grows from bitterness in the heart, to verbal outbursts, to slander and why bitterness and love cannot coexist. You'll be challenged to let go of wrath, choose forgiveness, and allow kindness and tenderheartedness to flow from a heart transformed by Christ's forgiveness.
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on May 11, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Day by day God leads us, HIS people, by HIS Spirit. God brings scripture and ideas to us to show us what to do. As we focus on these, we put ourselves in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. ***** Psalm 78 52 (God) made HIS own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 53 And HE led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. *** God does all these things for us today! God brings scriptures and ideas to our minds to show us what to do today, in this exact period of time. We do those things and we are placed where we should be. God leads us through this wilderness of this life and through the various events that happen in this life. God sees that His people have food and water, the essentials. And God even provides for us those things which we enjoy as we pass time away on this earth, as we wait to be removed from this earth, and wait to be carried up with Jesus to the new heavens and the new earth. As we focus on doing those individual scriptures (or instructions) that are brought to our attention by the Holy Spirit, we are in exactly the right place at the right time every day. The various words from God are as "stepping stones" which show us the path of life and lead us in the way we are to go as we live on this earth. We go from "word" to "word", doing as God shows us to do in the events of this present time. Think on those specific things God has shown you recently: (For me, God has shown me three things:) * February 2020: Make Podcasts to exhort the church. (We did this immediately and still do this.) * March 2020: Sell unused sound equipment on Internet. (We did that and all sound equipment that we listed sold immediately.) * March 2020: Lower price of house in Texas and have a special sale price for one week. (I did that and the house sold in 2 days.) By doing the things God shows us, our feet are set in an "enlarged" place so we have room and do not slip off the precipice with the worldly people. What has God shown you to do?

Daily Study: As believers, we have to remove the limits on our mind to fully receive all of the things we desire from God. One limit we need to remove is the idea that God has a priority system ranking some desires above others. The reality is that the unlimited power of God does not prioritize needs or desires. He cares as much about your desire for a new car as a starving child's desire for food. In today's study, we examine this concept in detail to help you expand your thinking and increase your faith.

Daily Study: When bad things happen to us or to others we are tempted to ask, “God, don't you care? Why aren't you doing something about this?” It looks and feels like God is absent or does not care. Well, God does care and has already done something about the bad situations you and others face.

In this episode, the people of God are reminded that worship is just as much about how we live with people as it is about our worship rituals!
Does God care about what I wear? How about cross-dressing in either apparel or behavior? Of note, our image bearing of God Himself is reflected even in our clothing. God loves maleness. God loves femaleness. Your maleness or your femaleness are inseperable to your image bearing. To confuse this is to disorder that which was originally designed to be ordered. So, carry your maleness or your femaleness proudly and clearly, for by doing so you reverentially carry the very image of God.https://youtu.be/rUWf4u_l8z4
In this episode, excerpted from my book Living Beautifully, we dive into a powerful question: Does God really care about the small stuff? From a missed smile to a small act of kindness, from a quiet prayer to a hidden struggle—can something so seemingly small matter in the grand scheme of the universe?Together, we explore Jewish wisdom and stories that show how every detail, every person, and every action carries cosmic significance. Whether you've ever wondered if your efforts make a difference or felt invisible in a world that values the “big and bold,” this conversation will leave you uplifted, empowered, and inspired to embrace the holiness of the small.
Does Jesus have permission to allow the storms in our life so that we might recognize our own smallness? And isn't it His intervention in the storm that reveals His vast care for us?
After another Sabbath healing, Jesus says, “You'd pull an ox out of a well on the Sabbath, wouldn't you?” So does God care for animals? Let's find out together as we read Luke 14:1-6 and Deuteronomy 22:1-7.

Not just reading it, but believing it. Deeply. Personally.We'll talk about:The real-life moments that make us question if God truly sees us (yes, even tantrums in the grocery store and the sting of being left out)How we sometimes carry around things God never meant for us to holdWhy casting our cares on Him starts with humbling our heartsAnd I'll leave you with 3 simple takeaways to help you come back to this truth: God cares for you. Deeply. Intimately.

Does your daily life reflect the fact that God lives in you? In this powerful episode of The Disciples Journal, we unpack what it really means when Scripture says your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19–20). This isn't just a metaphor—it's an invitation to intimacy, reverence, and transformation. Darin breaks down the original meaning behind Paul's words to the Corinthian church, and how we too are called to prepare a life that honors God's presence. If you've ever wondered how to make more room for God in your habits, home, and heart—this one's for you. —
The Trinity is a teaching of Scripture that is impossible for human beings to totally understand. God reveals himself as three separate persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - yet is still just one God. Today, we hear how this truth is an incredible comfort for Christians as we realize that all three persons of that Trinity are constantly caring for us. Today's message is based on Romans 5:1-5.
Pastor Daniel teaches that God cares about holiness so much that He will completely purify His people and then utterly destroy all wickedness.
Giving Grace, 4 of 4 from June 15th, 2025 "God uses our hands to bring blessings when we open them to him." 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)SUMMARYThis sermon explores the Biblical principles of giving, emphasizing that Christian giving is not about obligation but about grateful, cheerful, and generous gifts according to God's purposes. Pastor Michael highlights that God uses our hands to bring blessings when we open them to Him, and that giving has benefits both for the giver and the receiver. The sermon stresses that all we have comes from God, and our giving should reflect our gratitude and submission to Christ's gospel.REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
In this thought-provoking episode of The Impossible Life, Nick Surface sits down with author, speaker, and modern-day philosopher Josh Craft to unpack one of the most misunderstood principles in both spiritual and personal growth: God's way is built on process, not outcomes.From ancient philosophy to biblical wisdom, this episode explores why your success isn't measured by what you achieve—but by how you live. Together, Nick and Josh reveal how the world trains us to chase goals, hacks, and results, but God trains us to walk in faithfulness, discipline, and virtue.
Pastor Daniel teaches that your marriage covenant is designed to proclaim the beauty of God's covenant with His people.
As you listen to these scriptures, contemplate the ways God shows His care for you. No matter where you are, where you go, or what you do, He is always right there with you. His thoughts about each of us, are more than the grains of sand this world holds. Never are we out of His thoughts. How secure, how safe it is to be with Father God, who knows you, and loves you without reserve.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Have you ever felt like you were walking around as one giant, exposed nerve? Like just being in the world is too much? In today’s devotional, we reflect on that aching, raw feeling—and how God meets us there. Vivian Bricker shares how a lyric from Taylor Swift’s “this is me trying” perfectly captured the feeling: “It’s hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound.” We’ve all had those seasons—where we’d rather hide than engage, where even kindness stings, where the pain is just too close to the surface.But God doesn’t leave us there. He meets us, gently and powerfully, in our most fragile state. Join the Conversation:When have you felt like an “open wound”? How did you find comfort—or where are you seeking it now? Share with us @LifeaudioNetwork or via email. You’re not alone in this journey.
Singer, songwriter, pastor, and author Tauren Wells joins Blake to explore what true, lasting happiness looks like through a biblical lens. They unpack the idea that spiritual happiness is the anchor that gives meaning to every other kind of joy—whether vocational, relational, or even found in everyday moments like cleaning the house. The conversation centers around the foundational truth that spiritual happiness is the anchor that allows joy in all other areas to not only exist but to last. Together, they challenge the belief that God only cares about our sanctification, reminding listeners that He's also invested in our flourishing and delight. This conversation is a rich reminder that joy doesn't have to be loud to be real—and that God is at work even in the simplest of things. In this episode, you'll be able to… Understand the difference between fleeting happiness and lasting spiritual joy. Learn how to find contentment in the quiet, ordinary moments of life. Be encouraged that God cares about both your sanctification and your flourishing. Tauren is the author of Joy Bomb – available everywhere May 20!
