“Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it. Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one.” (1 Corinthians 9:24–25 NRSV)

Today's Godcast drives home the simple truth: discipleship is not about labels or self-effort—it's supernaturally empowered by the Spirit of the only true God! Without His energeia, we're like lamps with no current, vessels with no movement, instruments without sound, that's the plain ol' truth! Jesus' Spirit IS the energeia that empowers His disciples to live, witness, and bear eternal fruit—from their own “Jerusalem” to the remotest part of the earth. Our calling is to shine as living testimonies, ambassadors of Jesus, bringing the Good News where the world only knows bad news. What is your witnessing saying, and where is your witness taking them?

Grace is not a concept—it is a person, Jesus Christ. In this message from our Friends with God series, we explore how Jesus pours His grace into our lives through His life, death, resurrection, power, and delight. His obedience makes us right with God. His sacrifice removes sin’s penalty. His resurrection gives us new life and confidence. His Spirit empowers us to live transformed. And His joy reminds us that we are His beloved. This grace is unearned, undeserved, and freely given. Jesus doesn’t just save us—He delights in us.
* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Sep14.pdf * Last week we began a study of the Book of Hebrews by considering the identity of it's Author, Audience and Theme. In this treatise, we see the presentation of "A New and Living Way" through the perfect propitiation of Jesus who eternally fulfilled the requirements of the ultimate sin sacrifice - that offered on behalf of the priest, and then the nation, on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). * In the book of Hebrews, the "New and Living Way" found in the New Covenant, and established by Jesus the Messiah, is declared to a primarily Jewish audience who are struggling with the trappings of the Old Covenant and false rabbinic teachings. * Today, we will consider the first of those misunderstandings, or false teachings - that Jesus the Messiah was an "Angel." God's Word is very clear that Jesus is the Son of God not an "angel." The author of the book begins by declaring WHO JESUS IS - He is the Son of God - and what that entails. He then transitions into the Biblical proof of why He is not an "angel." * As last week, we will consider the final point of our outline first in order to fully understand the Hebrew mindset before we consider the wonder of who Jesus actually is! ... SO ... WHO EXACTLY IS THE SON OF GOD? * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on September 14, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
“O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand.” (Jeremiah 18:6 NLT-SE)

In this Godcast, Jesus' question pierces the heart and reminds us that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). And His question then; still applies today! Because His authority has not changed, His Spirit still empowers, and His mission still calls. As His disciples, we are chosen, equipped, and sent to carry His disciple making workmanship forward until our final breath. His authority is firm, His Spirit unstoppable, and His workmanship in us will always bear fruit, amen? I pray you are encouraged!

"For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory" (2 Co 1:20 NLT).

This Godcast takes you straight to the one foundation every disciple must build their life upon— It starts with Jesus, it ends with Jesus, and every breath in between belongs to Him—that's the plain ol' truth! Apart from Jesus, we are dead in sin, enslaved to darkness, and under wrath—but in Him we are reconciled, redeemed, and renewed! If you need encouragement today, then listen! Or, IF you know of someone that needs to hear the truth... THEN have them listen to The Truth about Jesus! What for? Because... at the end of the day, at the end of time, the only Name that matters is Jesus—and it's ALL about Him, in whom every eternal promise finds its “Yes” and “Amen,” now and forever! Amen?

We gather not to serve ourselves but to serve the Lord and learn of Him. A god shaped by personal preference is an idol. True worship is never about what we want—it is about honouring the Lord the way He wants to be honoured as revealed in the scriptures.Scripture shows that only God is worthy of worship—yet Jesus received it, forgave sins, and claimed equal authority with the Father. His disciples confessed Him as God, prayed in His name, and ascribed to Him divine titles. Every witness affirms the same reality: Jesus is not just Savior—He is God.Listen to this edifying message on the diety of Christ and be blessed.

The Bible shows that there is a unity within the Godhead where the Father, the Son and the Spirit exist in perfect oneness. Jesus has always been present from eternity and Scripture affirms His divinity. He called Himself I AM and the First and the Last, titles that belong only to God.He forgave sins, gave life and declared Himself the Messiah, which the prophets had already described as Mighty God and Everlasting Father. Though He humbled Himself on earth and submitted to the Father's will, this was in function and not in essence, for He remained fully equal in nature with the Father. The consistent witness of Scripture is that Jesus is not only Saviour and Messiah but truly God the Son, exalted as Lord forever.Listen to this sermon and learn about Jesus as revealed in scriptures.

It only seems natural to marvel at what we see created by humanity in this physical realm... works that have all been orchestrated by the only true God gifts of ingenuity, imagery, and design! And as amazing as they are... they fail to compare to the only true God's phenomenal supernatural spiritual workmanship in and through flawed, depraved, evil possessing finite creatures! The life change that makes an essence that was dead COME ALIVE! And that should bring total awe, amazement, and astonishment! As the Master Potter, God shapes Their clay into useful vessels of righteousness! The living hosts of Their divine eternal essence in YOU!

I'll be bringing in the text to complete the message, trusting it now reaches not just your ears, but your heart and spirit as well! amen? This Godcast episode will explore the divine origin, power, and purpose of the Fruit of the Spirit in every disciple of Jesus' life! The episode emphasizes that the Fruit of the Spirit—LOVE... And the fruit of love is God made and not human traits to be self-manufactured, but divine attributes supernaturally infused into one's innermost being by God the Holy Spirit that makes true disciples of Jesus.

It's God's essence within us, and through love empowered by the Spirit, disciples live transformed lives, resist temptation, walk in forgiveness, and reflect Jesus to the world.God's Word:Ecclesiastes 3; Matthew 28; John 17; 1 Corinthians 5; Matthew 7; 1 John 4; 1 Corinthians 13:2; 1 John 4; Galatians 5; Galatians 5; Isaiah 50; Matthew 26; Isaiah 53; John 15; Hebrews 12; Philippians 2; John 3; 1 Peter 2; 1 Peter 4; John 14; 1 Corinthians 13:5; Luke 23:34; Hebrews 12:15; Matthew 6; Matthew 22; 1 Corinthians 16; 1 John 4:8; Matthew 7; Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com
