One of the best benefits about flying at night is to look out the window and see all those lights against the black backdrop. The lights signal that a city or town is down there—a place where families live. Our spiritual lives are the same way. This world has its share of darkness, but God looks down and sees His lights. He sees the good that says, “Love lives here.” Matthew 5:14 says, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” We are told in Scripture that as believers, we have indescribable joy. Jesus Christ lives within us, lighting us from the inside out. With that gift comes responsibility: We don't have the option of staying hidden. When Jesus told His followers they were “the light of the world,” they understood what He meant, sitting there on the mountainside above the Sea of Galilee. Many of them took this to heart, shining a light in the spiritual darkness and sharing the Good News every chance they got. Let's pray. Lord, help us to continually shine the light of your love and your Gospel in this world. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

God Sees a Jesus Follower as Being “In Christ”; Therefore, God Sees a Jesus Follower as His Son or Daughter MESSAGE SUMMARY: As Followers of Jesus, you are "In Christ" -- God looks at you, as a Jesus Follower, and He sees Jesus in you. Throughout the Epistles we find: "In Christ" or "In Him". In Galatians 3:14, Paul tells you that your faith in Jesus makes you “In Christ” and a recipient of God's Covenant with Abraham: “so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.". Also, Paul goes even further, in Galatians 3:25-28, to tell you that, through your faith in Jesus, you no longer need any kind of intermediary because you are “In Christ” and you have a personal relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe: “But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.”. When God sees you, “In Christ" as a Jesus Follower, He sees Jesus, the Son. Therefore, God sees you as His son or daughter. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Addictions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Self-Control. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen

Ten Ways We Can Learn from King David • Friday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org David is one of the most written-about figures in all of Scripture. He was a shepherd, a warrior, a fugitive, a king, a worshiper, a poet, and a man after God's own heart. He wasn't perfect—but he was postured toward the Lord. His life offers rich lessons in leadership, repentance, worship, endurance, and trust in God's timing. Today, we're going to look at ten powerful ways we can learn from David and apply these lessons in our own lives. 1. God Sees the Heart, Not the Outer Appearance Scripture: “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.'” — 1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) 2. Be Willing to Step Out in Faith When No One Else Will Scripture: “Then David said to the Philistine, ‘You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.'” — 1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV) 3. Honor Authority Even When It's Difficult Scripture: “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lord's anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.” — 1 Samuel 24:6 (NKJV) 4. Encourage Yourself in the Lord During Crisis Scripture: “But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.” — 1 Samuel 30:6 (NKJV) 5. Be Quick to Repent Scripture: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” — Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) 6. Inquire of the Lord Before Making Big Decisions Scripture: “Therefore David inquired of the Lord, saying, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines?' And the Lord said to David, ‘Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.'” — 2 Samuel 5:19 (NKJV) 7. Worship God with Abandon Scripture: “Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod.” — 2 Samuel 6:14 (NKJV) 8. Be Willing to Wait for God's Timing Scripture: “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.” — 2 Samuel 5:4 (NKJV) 9. Lead with Justice and Mercy Scripture: “So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered judgment and justice to all his people.” — 2 Samuel 8:15 (NKJV) 10. Leave a Legacy of Worship and Vision Scripture: “Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God…” — 1 Chronicles 22:19 (NKJV) David was far from perfect—but he pursued God with all his heart. He teaches us about resilience in trial, repentance in failure, worship in victory, and faith in the waiting. Let us take these lessons and live like people after God's own heart. Let's be a church that worships boldly, repents quickly, seeks wisdom constantly, and lives with purpose and honor. CCLI: 21943673

Is it really worth it to follow God when the wicked seem to win? In this powerful and hope-filled conclusion to the book of Malachi, we see that God is not blind to injustice nor forgetful of faithfulness. He promises that the Day of the Lord is coming—a day when the arrogant will face judgment, and the faithful will leap like calves set free. The same God who calls His people to remember and return also provides the mercy we so desperately need in Jesus Christ.This sermon unpacks the final words of the Old Testament, showing us how the story points forward to Christ, the true Sun of Righteousness, who brings healing in His wings.

God Sees Jesus Followers as “In Christ”: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” MESSAGE SUMMARY: As Followers of Jesus, we are "In Christ" -- God looks at us and sees Jesus in us. Throughout the Epistles we find: "In Christ" or "In Him". In Galatians 3:14, Paul tells us that our faith in Jesus makes us “In Christ” and recipients of God's Covenant with Abraham: “so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.". Also, Paul goes even further, in Galatians 3:25-28, to tell us that, through our faith in Jesus, we no longer need any kind of intermediary because we are “In Christ” and we have a personal relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe: “But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.”. The benefit our position "In Christ", as Christians, is that when God looks at us, He sees Jesus, the Son; therefore, He then sees us as His sons and daughters. TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation.

MAR. 10, 2025How God sees you."There is...no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus." Ro 8:1Once we understand that God's love for us is based on what Christ did for us rather than what we do ourselves, the struggle is over. Now we can stop "performing," and we can serve God because we know He loves us and that we don't need to try to make Him love us.We no longer fear rejection by Him because of our mistakes. When we do something wrong, now all we do is repent, receive God's forgiveness, and then refuse the condemnation that sin brings. Realizing we are loved and accepted even though we're imperfect is such a relief! Serving God out of desire rather than obligation is incredibly liberating! The moment you place your trust in Christ, God sees you as righteous from that point on. He doesn't accept you because of your performance but because of your relationship with Him through Christ. And you need to decide to believe it and stand on it. A noted minister writes: "We become what we believe we are; therefore, as we become convinced that we are right with God, our behavior will improve. We will do things right and with less effort. No matter what other people may have told you that you are not, God delights in telling you in His Word who you are in Him-loved, valuable, precious, talented, gifted, capable, powerful, wise, and redeemed. Take a moment and repeat those nine things aloud. Say, 'I am loved, valuable, precious, talented, gifted, capable, powerful, wise, and redeemed!'" That's how God sees you, and it's how you need to start seeing yourself.How God sees you Loved, valuable, precious, capable, powerful, wise and redeemedShare This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Have you ever thought about how we relate to God? The tension in culture is that culture's truth tells us we are meant to be self-reliant, but that's not God's truth. We need God. During this message, Pastor Kevin is going to share three ideas that shape how we relate to God.
I'm learning a LOT to just trust what God has cooking, even if I don't really know what it is. I need to trust that He perfectly knows me, my tastes, and what will ultimately help me have the best outcomes in my life. A lot of the time that comes to patience and trust. In time it'll all come together, for now we need to trust.Related YIELD Today Episodes - "77 - Before Your Puzzle of Life Comes Together" - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/before-your-puzzle-of-life-comes-together-3/id1478505549?i=1000507431428More From Me:Subscribe to YIELD Deeply - https://dallincandland.substack.com/Check out my second book, "Patience in These Pages" - https://a.co/d/4kfFqW8Watch the Dallin Candland YouTube channel (for more on the podcast, behind the scenes videos, and more!): https://www.youtube.com/@dallincandlandTo check out YIELD Today Premium: https://www.buzzsprout.com/543310/subscribeTime Stamps:0:50 - Yesterday Was Pivotal3:00 - I Realized We Had More Than I Thought3:40 - "What if Things Are Coming Together As They Need to Be?"5:11 - God Sees the Future6:08 - I Need to Give Myself More Credit7:39 - "Dallin Caught a BIG Fish!"8:03 - Believing Before You See10:12 - Trusting God's vision COMPLETELY Before Things Happen11:43 - God is NOT Going to Tell You the Whole Thing 14:15 - God Does NOT Limit His Miracles to One Religion15:21 - I'm Just Going to Show Them Love and Encourage Them17:40 - Trust the Long Game20:45 - My Brain is a High-Speed Encyclopedia 22:10 - Let Go of Anything That'd Keep Your Vision from Happening23:10 - "Are You Willing to Look Up?"24:00 - God is Able to Heal and Take Care of Things24:31 - The INSANE Benefits of Living a Real Life25:16 - The Powerful Downstream Effects of Doing My YouTube Creators Workshop in College26:31 - Trusting in God is ALWAYS Worth it27:52 - God is Elevating ALL of Our Stories Through This Start-upQuotes:2:40 - "Now I'm starting to see it"2:53 - "Right now we're just at Prototype 1."4:13 - "What if it's completely okay for me to be where I'm at?"5:43 - "I felt this years ago that things would be fine."5:58 - "Do you trust God's vision of what He's looking at and how good the future is and how good things potentially can be?"6:51 - "It was SUCH a healing phone call."7:56 - "We just need to get our first customer and we're chilling."9:41 - "I've seen more and now I'm ready to go."10:43 - "There were certain things that were going to fall into place at a certain time and I just had to trust and be patient."12:50 - "You have to be willing to take the shot before you know it's going to work."15:47 - "I feel called to share certain things but I will not force those out."20:50 - "The brain is not able to tell the difference between imagined memories and real ones."24:05 - "If I am willing to say "no" to all of these lower-existence kind of behaviors and things then there are no limits and He can show me things that are beyond anything of this world and beyond anything I've ever experienced."26:58 - "There's things that God would love to tell us I'm sure but we have to move forward and act truthfully in line with the light we've received with that thing."28:50 - "Stay in your line, don't worry."Support the show

This Tuesday, don't miss a special highlight episode as we gear up for an unforgettable conversation dropping this Thursday.Secret sin is an oxymoron—there is no such thing. Every sin, even those we think are hidden, is exposed before God. Today, Ray, Mark, and Oscar talk about lust, particularly pornography, and how it plagues many, with statistics revealing that 7 out of 10 men and 2 out of 10 women are caught in this so-called secret sin. Society often normalizes pornography, but it is a trap that ensnares and destroys. Many wrongly think that once they get married, their sin won't plague them anymore, but sin doesn't disappear with marriage; it must be addressed and defeated now, or it will continue to control you.Lust offers fleeting pleasure but leaves lasting damage. It distorts intimacy, leading individuals to compare their spouses to unrealistic fantasies. God's laws do not withhold joy but invite us into a fuller, joy-filled life. As science confirms, pornography sets people up for relational failure. When you indulge in sin, it's like removing the batteries from a smoke detector—complacency blinds you to the danger. Sin desires to have you, but God's grace is always available. Mark emphasizes the importance of addressing sexual sin openly and honestly with children and their significant others. Shying away from these conversations does more harm than good. Similarly, Ray, in his evangelism, confronts this issue by calling people to repentance. Lust is not something to struggle with but to reject outright.Scripture shows the seriousness of sin. Lust is equated with adultery in the heart, and sin will take you further than you want to go. It is a lion crouching at your door, ready to devour. David's sin with Bathsheba began with a look, proving that flirting with sin leads to destruction. You must hide God's Word in your heart and instill the fear of the Lord. When secret sin comes to light, the Bible provides the way to healing. Confess your sins to a trusted pastor, brother, or sister in Christ. True repentance comes from a love for God that expels false loves. Emotional maturity requires humility to confess and turn to Christ. Repentance isn't about avoiding consequences but aligning with God's love and experiencing His transforming power.If you're struggling with lust or pornography, take action. Quote scripture out loud, flee from temptation, and seek accountability. God grants repentance and offers freedom through confession. Though uncomfortable, confession brings healing and restoration. God sees you as precious and desires your repentance and renewal. Turn from sin, embrace His love, and live in the freedom Send us a textThanks for listening!

Find show notes for episode 326 here: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/326 Do you see yourself how God sees you? Not sure how to answer that? Start here: How do you respond when offered a compliment? Do you receive the kind words and say, “Thank you,” or do you feel uncomfortable, brush it off, diminish it, or change the subject? If it's any of the latter options, you are not the only one! And we're going to help you get past it here today. This episode is about learning to see yourself as God sees you, in the fullness of His love, delight, and care. (It's not really about compliments, but how we respond to praise can be a symptom that our view of self is broken.) We must break free from the lies that distort our sense of worth (see episode #325) and learn how to root our identity in Christ. Because big dreams built on the shaky ground of lies or confusion regarding our value and worth will soon crumble. By the end of this episode, you'll have tools to begin embracing your identity as God's beloved and reject the temptation of finding your value and worth in performance, perfection, or the approval of others. Come on back every week this month as we explore the theme of knowing your value and worth as a woman of God.
