Four ways to pursue ordinary faithfulness in a new year: By treasuring the Word of God (Psalm 1) By preaching the Gospel to ourselves consistently (1 Corinthians 15:1-11) By cultivating a firm belief in the sovereignty and goodness of God (Romans 8:28-32) By folding our lives into the local church where we are members (Hebrews 10:23-25) You can watch this message here.

When we feel spiritually depressed and disconnected, we must continuously counsel our own hearts to trust in God's covenant promises.

Be still... and know that I am God!

"How lovely is your dwelling place O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God" (Psalm 84:1-2). Let's begin with a simple question, "What do you want?" Some of you may be looking in the refrigerator to get some breakfast. I'm not interested in your breakfast. This is one of those annoyingly profound questions like what you want your legacy to be. What do you want for your life? or from your life? I get irritated with stories in which a character immediately knows the answer to such a question. I find it depends on the day and the things happening around me. I'm not always sure if there is one thing that I really want. We all have appetites and longings: a bigger house; a faster car; better make-up; successful children; political position. We want many things. But getting these things doesn't satisfy. In fact, they tend to kill us. We humans have an infernal habit of mistaking the things God gives for the God who gives them. We tend to worship the things God gives, rather than God himself. As Paul once wrote, "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised! Amen" (Romans 1:25). God made everything for His glory, to reveal His greatness. The things He created all point back to Him. They remind us that He is our true home, our destination. Sin makes creatures our home rather than God to whom they point. Worshipping God's creation will be our death. The psalmist knew this. He was away from Jerusalem and longed to be home. Not because he worshipped that city but because in Jerusalem was God's temple, God's presence on earth. That is where he encountered God. That was joy. This is even truer for us, followers of Jesus. We are his temple. God is right here, where we are. But do we want him? is he our joy? We can take either of two roads. On the one road, we focus on all the things that we can't enjoy right now and feed our longing for them. The other road is the one the psalmist took. Rather, than feeding his longings for stuff, he fed his longing for God. We can take that road too. We can ask the Spirit to sift our desires so that we increasingly desire him. Then, when someone asks us that irritating question, "What do you want out of life?" we know our answer. As you journey on, go with the blessing of God: May the God who gives hope fill you with great joy. May you have perfect peace as you trust in him. May the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope.

“The Priest-King at the Right Hand of Yahweh (Psalm 110:1)” examines Psalm 110:1 by focusing on the Hebrew text and how it has been understood in both Jewish and Christian interpretations. The author explains that Yahweh (God) speaks to “my Lord,” whom he identifies as the Messiah—a figure greater than David though his descendant—and critiques interpretations that use the verse to argue for Christ's deity. Instead, the article emphasizes that the passage highlights the Messiah's superiority to David through his resurrection and exaltation to God's right hand, not that he is another divine being equal to Yahweh. The author distinguishes between the Hebrew names/titles for God and “my Lord”, arguing the latter refers to a human superior whom God has elevated, and supports this with New Testament citations showing Jesus' resurrection and exaltation as fulfillment of the promise in Psalm 110.Full text here:https://landandbible.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-priest-king-at-right-hand-of-yahweh.html

Pastor Samson preached from Psalm 145, emphasizing that God is so great it naturally overflows into praise, so good that He has clearly revealed Himself through Scripture, and so near that we can confidently call out to Him in prayer. Listen and be challenged. Support the show

What can we do as servants of God?

In this sermon, Pastor Jeff concludes an Advent series by exploring the theme of divine love through a comparison of microscopic and telescopic perspectives. He argues that the human heart's natural tendency is to act like a microscope, zooming in on personal hardships until they dominate one's field of vision and obscure faith. To counter this, he encourages the congregation to adopt a telescopic view, which brings the immense scale of God's affection and grace into clear focus. By referencing the biblical examples of David and Mary, the speaker illustrates how individuals can intentionally pivot from magnifying their anxieties to exalting the greatness of Christ. Ultimately, the text serves as a pastoral invitation to recognize the incarnation as the ultimate evidence of a love that is larger than any earthly struggle.Support the showThanks for listening!

Good. God! | Chris McGarvey

The Love of God Psalm 86:8-15 8  There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. 9  All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. 10  For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. 11  Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. 12  I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. 13  For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. 14  O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them. 15  But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

All Glory to God (Psalm 66)I. The Earth Glorifies God (Psalm 66:1-7) II. The Church Glorifies God in Testing (Psalm 66:8-12)Deut. 8:1-62 Cor. 1:8-9III. The Individual Glorifies God in Righteousness (Psalm 66:13-20)2 Cor. 5:10Phil 2:9-10

Psalm 73:15-18 New Living Translation   15 If I had really spoken this way to others,     I would have been a traitor to your people. 16 So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper.     But what a difficult task it is! 17 Then I went into your sanctuary, O God,     and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked. 18 Truly, you put them on a slippery path     and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction.

We praise God because of His eternal love.

Welcome to episode 222of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, Pastor Drew continues our study entitled Piercing Questions: From the One Who Was Pierced. Today we will cover: A question on Shame. “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9)Key Takeaways:• Shame tells you who you were — Grace reminds you who you are in Christ.• Shame is not what God desires for us! (Romans 8:1)• Shame is a self-imposed condemnation.• Shame Scorns the cross! (Hebrews 12:2)• Shame happens when we focus on ourselves. Freedom happens when we focus on Jesus.• You can't be anchored to grace and swept away by shame at the same time.Quotable:• “You can't be anchored to grace and swept away by shame at the same time.”• “Shame tells you who you were — Grace reminds you who you are in Christ.”Application:• Confess your sin — If you mess up, confess up, get up, and move on! (Psalm 32:5)• Run to the Father — Tell Him your sin, trust His grace, and walk with Him.• Pray and Worship — Remember the secret friendship of God (Psalm 32:6–7).• Submit to Scripture and the Spirit — Correction brings freedom.• Don't stay in shame — Walk in freedom, not in sin.• Walk with Jesus — Freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.Connect with us:Website: https://springbaptist.orgFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)Need us to pray for you?

In a world that celebrates hustle and overwork, many Christians are exhausted, feeling like they're constantly running on empty trying to be perfect. In this episode, we're joined by Valerie Adjorlolo, a nurse and a champion for Christian femininity, who is on a mission to redefine rest. Valerie shares with us her personal journey from a culture of burnout and overwork to a life of spiritual freedom. By exploring biblical foundations from Genesis to the story of Elijah, she reveals why rest is not a reward for a job well done, but a sacred invitation from God to release control. You will learn practical and tangible tips for finding physical, mental, and spiritual rest in a 24/7 world. Get ready to challenge your mindset, embrace your God-given design, and discover that rest isn't lazy—it's the foundation for everything. A quote from the Bible: Be STILL and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10) Topics covered: Christian rest, biblical rest, Christian productivity, Christian femininity, overcoming burnout, work-life balance, rest and faith, Christian women's content, spiritual freedom, surrender to God, Christian living, over-worked nurse, feel guilty when resting. Want to dig a bit deeper? Here is the Biblical Foundation of Rest. Genesis 2: God rested on the 7th day—not because He needed to, but to model rest Exodus: God invites Israel to stop and rest in Him Rest as both physical and spiritual—an invitation to return to the Lord Biblical Story of Elijah (1 Kings 19) Matthew 11:28 – Come to me, I will give you rest Scriptures for Encouragement Psalm 4:8 – "In peace, I will lie down and sleep…" Psalm 3:5 – "I lie down and sleep; I wake again…" Matthew 6:34 – "Don't worry about tomorrow…" Matthew 11:28 – "Come to me, all who are weary…" Did you enjoy this episode and would like to share some love?

In Acts 3 we have the healing of the crippled man, who was lame from birth and more than 40 years old (4:22). This healing has many parallels with the testy of the crippled man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5. The crippled man represents Israel and their inability to walk before their God. Peter commands the lame man to fix his gaze on them, which he does expecting alms. The crippled man receives far greater -he receives healing and discipleship. And walking, and leaping, and praising God he enters the templewith Peter and John. Remarkable words of witness follow with the testimony of Peter that there is noother name given under heaven by which salvation can come than our Lord Jesus Christ. Buddhism, Hinduism and all other isms cannot save. Our Lord was the stone rejected by men, but chosen and precious to God (Psalm 118:22). Peter outlines in verses 19-26 what they must do. The rulers sendofficers in chapter 4 to arrest Peter and John. Note that the number of disciples had now reached 5,000. They were examined by the Counsel and commanded to refrain from preaching Christ Jesus. TheApostles' response is that: "We cannot cease from doing what the Almighty has commanded us". Peter and John are threatened and released. Upon joining their fellow believers, the two Apostles together withtheir assembled brothers praise the LORD and in prayer speak of what had just happened as being a fulfilment of Psalm 2. Their Sovereign's response to their prayer is a shaking of the house they were in. God is further demonstrating His power in support of their testimony. This was given as yet anotherendorsement by their God of His guarantee to support his ecclesia's faithful testimony. The spirit of unity and community is spoken of in verses 32-37. Oh, for such a spirit among believers today!Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Job 22:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD and Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD- The scene in 2:1-6 is a repetition of the scene produced in 1:6-12. Just as parallelism can drive home the point in poetry, prose often stresses its point by repeating the narrative (Gen. 24:1-27;24:28-49). 2:1 is a verbatim repetition from 1:6 except 2:1 adds the three Hebrew words that end the sentence translated to present himself before the LORD. 2:3 And he still holds fast his integrity- The verse from this point on adds to the words of 1:8. This verb holds fast is a common verb and means be strong or strengthen (Josh.1:6, 7, 9; Job 4:3) or seize (Gen. 19:16). Job held fast to his integrity as some hold fast to deceit- Jer. 8:5. This word will be used also in Job in 2:9; 4:3; 8:15,20; 18:9 and 27:6. In Job 27:6 Job declares I hold fast to my righteousness.  The picture of the divine council does not eliminate the picture of an omniscient God (Psalm 139:1-6; Isa. 40:13-14).2:4  What does skin for skin mean? Much has been written to answer this question, but few good answers have been provided. The meaning seems to be something along the lines that even if a person loses their possessions, children, and all else, that the person will respond differently when the suffering is his and his death is imminent. I think the meaning of the phrase is largely derived by the next line that all that a man has he will give for his life. 2:7 Deut. 28:35 speaks of boils from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. The phrase from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head is also used of Absalom in II Sam. 14:25. In II Sam. 14:25 there was no blemish on Absalom from his foot to his head. Job's case is the opposite of Absalom's attractiveness. 2:9 Then his wife said to him, ‘Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!'These are the only words we have from Job's wife. Job does make a reference to her in Job 19:17 saying that his breath is offensive to her. Job 19:13-20 demonstrates Job's deep sense of alienation from those who we would expect to be closest to him. Job's wife uses the same phrase that the LORD used in speaking of Job in Job 2:3 you hold fast your integrity. God used this to praise Job, but Job's wife uses the phrase in criticism of Job. In The Testament of Job she sells her hair to buy bread for Job and herself. Does she believe the sin of cursing God will be punished by God with Job's instant death?2:10 ‘Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?' The word adversity is also used in the next verse in 2:7, 10, 11. Some versions translate the Hebrew term ra' by the English word evil. Evil can be moral evil (1:1, 8; 2:3) or it can refer to a calamity or disaster (2:10, 11; 42:11). “Out of about 640 occurrences of the word ra' (which ranges in meaning from a ‘nasty' taste to full moral evil) there are 275 instances where ‘trouble' or ‘calamity' is the meaning”[1] God is sovereign over good and bad (Deut. 32:39; Job 1:21). God is not responsible for moral evil (Hab. 1:13; Jas. 1:13), but His hand is involved in adversity (Isa. 45:7; Lam. 3:37-38; Amos 3:6). The translation adversity or calamity is better than the translation evil in this verse. [1] J.A. Motyer, Isaiah, 359.
