In a distracted world filled with idols, noise, and chaos, how can we truly seek the presence of God? In episode 109, Drew and Tim take a deep dive into Psalm 24, revealing what it means to approach God with clean hands and a pure heart. They discuss God's sovereignty over creation, the incredible access we have to His presence through Jesus, and the personal call to holiness and repentance. You'll also hear insight into the modern-day battle against idolatry, how to receive righteousness from God, and why the next generation—especially Gen Z—is being stirred toward authentic faith and revival.Psalm 24:3–4 (ESV)"Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

What does it mean to be restored by God? Psalm 80 gives voice to a people who are weary, hurting, and in need—not just of relief, but of reconciliation with the Lord. In this message, we explore how true restoration begins with recognizing our brokenness, turning to God in humble repentance, and trusting in His power to redeem and renew.This Psalm reminds us that God is both our caring Shepherd and our mighty King—that His face shining upon us brings life, hope, and salvation. Whether you're walking through personal hardship, spiritual dryness, or simply feeling distant from God, this message offers a timely encouragement: restoration is possible, and it comes through Jesus Christ, the One at God's right hand who makes us whole.

The Uprising of Kings and the Reign of GodPsalm 2 is a royal psalm that describes the rebellious nations of the earth plotting against God and His anointed King. It is a powerful declaration of God's sovereignty over all creation, even in the face of human defiance. The psalm is structured like a drama, with four distinct scenes: the rebellion of the nations (verses 1-3), God's response from heaven (verses 4-6), the decree of the Son (verses 7-9), and a final warning to the kings of the earth (verses 10-12). Ultimately, it serves as a testament to the futility of human rebellion against divine authority and the ultimate triumph of God's chosen King.Psalm 2:1-12 (NIV)1 Why do the nations conspireand the peoples plot in vain?2 The kings of the earth rise upand the rulers band togetheragainst the Lord and against his anointed, saying,3 “Let us break their chainsand throw off their shackles.”4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;the Lord scoffs at them.5 He rebukes them in his angerand terrifies them in his wrath, saying,6 “I have installed my kingon Zion, my holy mountain.”7 I will proclaim the Lord's decree:He said to me, “You are my son;today I have become your father.8 Ask me,and I will make the nations your inheritance,the ends of the earth your possession.9 You will break them with a rod of iron;you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;be warned, you rulers of the earth.11 Serve the Lord with fearand celebrate his rule with trembling.12 Kiss his son, or he will be angryand your way will lead to your destruction,for his wrath can flare up in a moment.Blessed are all who take refuge in him.xPsalm 2 commentary, what is Psalm 2 about, meaning of Psalm 2, God's sovereignty over nations, royal psalm analysis:#Psalm2, #BibleStudy, #GodsSovereignty, #RoyalPsalms, #ScriptureMeaning

In this sermon, we explore what it looks like to bring feelings of doubt and despair before God.Every human being goes through seasons of doubt. But what do we do in those moments? Psalm 74 describes a time in Israel's history when it seemed God had abandoned his people. Series Description: The Psalms are the song book of God's people, and each summer we mine their riches. Their imagery, poetry, and theology invite us to deeper worship of God and remind us of his unchanging character.

In this heartfelt devotional, Vivian Bricker explores the biblical command to care for others—especially the weak, lonely, or overlooked. Drawing on Psalm 41:1-3 and her personal upbringing, she shares how compassion is not just an act of kindness but a reflection of Christ at work within us. If you’ve ever wondered how to serve God more deeply, start by noticing those who need a friend. Highlights (What You’ll Learn): Why caring for the weak reflects the heart of God (Psalm 41:1-3) How compassion flows from a Spirit-led life (John 13:34-35) What Scripture teaches about loving the forgotten (James 1:27, Ephesians 4:32) Practical encouragement to live with empathy, kindness, and a pure heart God’s promise to sustain and bless those who extend love to the vulnerable

It is time this very minute to pray and seek God. Time to set our timers and pray for the minute. This podcast encourages us to stop for a minute and, now, in the presence of our Heavenly Father—with praise and prayer—worship Him in Jesus' name and in the power of the Holy Spirit. ———— *We do not own the rights to music played on this podcast.

Taylor and Jose sit down with Dr. Shawn Stoever to look at what it means to build your life and family on God.

In this Psalm David points out four ways that God meets our needs: 1. Protection.2. Provision.3. Satisfaction. 4. Light.Pastor Zack uses this text to remind us that no matter what kind of enemy you are facing today or no matter how far from God you think you are, it's never too much and it's never too far. God is boundless and undeterred. He sees you, he knows you, and he loves you! 

In this heartfelt and highly practical episode of Faith Talks, Janna and Anna Faith return in person to continue their series on “Faith Over Fear.” Today's focus is the often-overlooked yet deeply personal fear of communication—whether it's not knowing who to talk to, what to say, or when to say it. They candidly share biblical wisdom, personal stories, and real-life encouragement to help you overcome fear and choose faith in your daily conversations.Topics DiscussedThe spiritual power of the tongue (James 3)Fears surrounding communication: who, how, what, and whenHonoring parents through open communication (Ephesians 6:2)Speaking truth even when it's hard (Proverbs 12, 27)Moses' fear of speaking and God's promise to help (Exodus 4)Giving grace in speech (Colossians 4:6)Personal stories of bitterness, forgiveness, and reconciliationSimple steps for starting spiritual conversationsCreative methods for difficult conversations (writing letters, texting)Pouring your heart out to God (Psalm 62:8)Key TakeawaysCommunication is one of the most powerful tools God has given us, and it should be stewarded in faith, not fear.Speaking the truth—especially when it's hard—is not only obedience to God but a gift to those around you.God promises to help us communicate when we feel weak or inadequate—He made our mouths (Exodus 4)!Reconciliation and honesty bring spiritual freedom, even when they take time or courage.When you pour out your fears to God, you'll find the strength to speak with grace, humility, and purpose.Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation podcast designed to help young ladies discover greater ways to nurture and exercise their faith in their day-to-day walk with Christ.

Dr. Shawn Stoever takes a look at how we are designed for relationship with one another and what makes a healthy home.

Big truths produce big responses. "You're a dad!" "You won!" "You're free!" Psalm 100 points us to some of the biggest truths of all for the believer: "God made you!" "God cares for you!" "God is good, loving, and faithful!" In response, the psalm calls us to offer big praise. It is called a "Psalm of Thanksgiving." Because God is our good Maker and Shepherd, we should give joyful thanks to Him.

 If you desire to approach God, take seriously God's desires for you to live a holy life with obedience, integrity and truth.

Midland Evangelical Free Church Sermon Audio Midland, MI

In this message Pastor Alex gives us 4 ways to insure that we get the most out of a relationship and experience with God. Practice true humility by boasting in the Lord. Call out to God with your needs and recognize his hand in providing for them.Don't sample the Goodness of God, fully savor it. Recognize that for all people, God is either a Gracious Savior or a Punishing Judge.

Luke 7:36–50 (ESV) One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.” “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”Illus: In 1987, Jessica McClure, better known as "Baby Jessica." fell into a abandoned well in Midland, Texas, while playing in her aunt's backyard. The rescue effort was televised across the nation and people were riveted by the heroism of the rescuers. After Jessica fell into the well, rescuers worked tirelessly for 58 hours to extricate her. The operation was complicated and required careful planning to ensure her safety while attempting to pull her out. Many firefighters, medical personnel, and volunteers were involved in the rescue, demonstrating remarkable bravery and determination. When she was finally rescued, Jessica was pulled from the well and rushed to the hospital, where she made a full recovery. The story of her rescue was broadcast on national television, and Jessica quickly became a symbol of hope and resilience. In the years that followed, Jessica often spoke about the incident and expressed her profound gratitude for the efforts of the rescuers who saved her life. As she grew older, she became an advocate for children's safety and awareness, sharing her story to help inform and educate others about the importance of safety measures. The tale of Baby Jessica's rescue touched millions and brought a sense of unity to those who followed her story, reinforcing the idea of community, heroism, and the impact of saving a life.This is a story that riveted a nation, even the world, but did not include a miracle. Understand that the miracles Jesus did were captivating, on an even higher level due to their miraculous nature.Jesus greatest miracle…What Makes SIN a SIN?GOD'S COMMAND - His Written Word, Properly InterpretedDeuteronomy 11:26–28 (ESV) “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known.PERSONAL CONVICTION - His Spoken Word, To An IndividualRomans 14:5–6 (NIV) One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike.

“O Lord, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I am in trouble?” (Psalm 10:1 NLT) A Sunday school teacher gave the kids in her class an assignment to write down any questions they had for God. Here are some of the questions, comments, and suggestions they came up with: Dear God, did You mean for the giraffe to look like that, or was it an accident? Dear God, I like the Lord’s Prayer best of all. Did You have to write it a lot, or did You get it right the first time? I have to write everything over and over again. Dear God, thank You for my baby brother You gave to us, but what I prayed for was a puppy. Dear God, how come You haven’t invented any new animals lately? We still have just the old ones. Dear God, I bet it is very hard for You to love everybody in the whole world. There are only four people in my family, and I just can’t do it. Dear God, in school we read that Thomas Edison made light, but in Sunday school, they said that You made it. I bet he stole Your idea. If you’re new to the Christian faith, you may have your own questions, comments, or suggestions for God. (And if you’ve been a Christian for most of your life, you probably still have questions, comments, or suggestions for God.) The questions may be tough. They may seem impolite. They may suggest a lack of faith on your part. Ask them anyway. That’s what the psalmists did. Look at Psalm 10:1 above. Those pointed questions are heartfelt cries. And God responds to our heartfelt cries—not with anger or punishment for questioning Him, but with compassion and understanding. He gives us wisdom and peace. He opens our eyes to spiritual truths we can’t see on our own. Few people in Scripture were closer to God than David, the shepherd who killed Goliath and later became king of Israel. First Samuel 13:14 describes David as “a man after God’s own heart.” Yet look what he wrote in Psalm 13:1–2: “O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way? How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?” (NLT). He poured out his soul to God because he knew God would see his questions for what they were: genuine attempts to understand God and His will. The apostle James offered this advice: “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind” (James 1:5–6 NLT). God welcomes your questions because the more answers you receive, the stronger your faith will grow. Reflection question: What questions would you like to ask God?

I'm your host, Dennis Jernigan, and I am so grateful you have joined me for this week's podcast. I'll try to get right to the heart of the matter today. The story behind this song is amazing to me. You'll find out why shortly.  We live in a day and age when amazing things are taking place on a daily basis. Everyday citizens, if they have the time and money, can literally fly into outer space. A person's identity, their image, and their voice and mannerisms can be manipulated in such a way as to make them appear to say and do things they would never do. Even though it gives me chills, this ability of AI, called deep fake, is kind of amazing. And speaking of AI, entire books are being written using artificial intelligence and new uses for AI are seemingly popping up every single day. And I think it is amazing that we live in a world where everyone is connected via the internet and smartphones to such a degree that we can talk with and see anyone we would like to communicate with instantly. The world is indeed amazing. The word ‘amazing' literally means ‘causing great surprise or wonder; astonishing; startlingly impressive.' That is a good thing to experience, yet even good things can be viewed through the filter of the lies of the enemy. Here's an example of what I mean taken from my now life experiences: For far too many years I allowed the lies of the enemy to define me and dictate to me what was amazing. I could see the way others treated me as amazing in a very perverted way. What I mean by that is this: I thought that someone mocking me or physically harming me meant that at least someone was acknowledging me, even if they were insulting me and belittling me. I longed to be known and to know others and that expectation of being put down by others at least made me feel acknowledged. That, my friends, is the depth of depravity my mind had fallen to which is, well, astonishingly sad. That all changed the day I was overwhelmed with the Truth that Jesus Christ had died for me. I was instantly set free from my past but had to walk out the wonderful but difficult journey toward wholeness. In fact, I'm still on that journey. I invite you to join me for today's brief leg of that adventure as I share the story behind my song, “Amazed”. Way back in 2010, I embarked on an adventure that lasted 40 days but continues to affect my life to this day. From May 3 through June 11 I went on a 40 day fast. I needed to reboot my system because I had just gone through a series of traumatic events that left me gutted. The Lord called me to a fast and led me to meditate daily on Psalm 40 and Isaiah 40. He spoke to my heart and told me He would give me a song each day of the fast and that I was to record it that same day. Since then, I put together 4 ten song volumes where you can find all 40 songs. The first ten songs are on the collection called Forty Days and Forty Nights - Songs of Contemplation and Intimacy Vol. 1. This week's episode is the story behind the song “Amazed” which came to me on May 8, 2010 which was day 5 of that fast. When the Lord sent me on this fasting journey, He led me to focus and meditate on Psalm 40 and Isaiah 40 each day. He led me to write a song each day and then record it that very same day. What you are hearing is the original version of each song on the day I actually wrote it. On day 5, He led me to meditate specifically on Psalm 40:3a which says, “He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God…” As I began to ponder on what this part of the verse meant to me, I felt led to begin just simply praising God for Who He is. It became very apparent that I was meant to live every area of my life as a conduit of praise to Him. In that moment, I was instantly filled with a sense of wonder and a  very keen awareness that the God of the universe, my Creator, was in the room with me in a very tangible way…and that was amazing! As I began to praise God, I truly was astonished at his presence with me. In that same moment, although I didn't literally see him, I felt the weight of his presence upon my soul. What I was experiencing was the very glory of God in my heart and mind. And that was truly amazing. As I set my mind free to focus on the presence of God there with me, I felt completely surprised at the depth of love He has for me. I stood back in wonder as I thought about the depth of my depravity as opposed to His depth of mercy toward me. I deserved death and hell, but He had mercy on me as demonstrated in Romans 5:8 in the NIV which says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” I a so amazed at the mercy of God. I just am… Even more astonishingly impressive and astonishing was the way He led me to repentance - and continues to do so. He did not belittle me or mock me or reject me as I had experienced as a boy and as a young man. It was His great kindness that led me to repent of my stinkin' thinkin'…and most impressive and astonishing of all? The realization that He has been lovingly pursing me my entire life; That I was the joy set before Him that drove Him to willingly lay down His life on the cross; That His love could reach as far as I could fall, yet that same love would not leave me in the rock bottom depravity my mind had gotten to. If I let my mind go to think about the nature and character of God, I think about things he has created; the beauty of nature; the precision of the universe; the resurrection power of Jesus Christ and it's effect on my life; the fact that when I think about Jesus and fix my eyes on him that I find myself completely transfixed with a childlike wonder at just how amazing our God is…and I cannot help but praise Him. SONG In Luke 9:37-43 in the NIV, we find Jesus coming down from the mountain after His transfiguration. Here's what is says:  37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. 38 A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not." 41 "You unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here." 42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. The recording of this podcast took place some 15 years after that initial 40 day fast and I still continue to find God's grace…His restorative grace…Completely and utterly amazing as I did all those in years ago. And it is my belief that we are living in a very amazing time in history, but that this amazing time in history is far overshadowed by the astonishing, incredible, massive and amazing love of Jesus Christ surrounding us at all times, through any circumstances. Let's live our lives like we believe that. We really do have an amazing God! Thank you for tuning in to The Dennis Jernigan Podcast!
