In this episode, Dave once again shares at our Launch 25 gathering, this time focusing on the ‘soil' from which God births movements—the importance of movement values and our personal calling from God. Vision - where movements always start To begin, reflecting on movements seen in hard-to-reach areas, Dave invites an 81-year-old seasoned movement leader (unnamed for security reasons) to share his powerful experience of seeing over 40,000 churches planted across unreached regions of India. This unnamed movement leader highlights the first key characteristic of movement - a clear God-given vision. This vision begins with a personal encounter with God and the recognition that every aspect of life must be viewed from a kingdom perspective. Other movement values Dave then dives into the DNA of movements, such as rapid multiplication, leadership development, and the central role of prayer. Dave reflects on the example of David Watson in India, where movements started in historically unreached states, and how the Discovery Bible Study became a tool for leaders to explore God's word together. • Calling: Movements start with a personal call from God, as seen in the story of a leader in India who, after a deep personal encounter with God, saw over 100,000 churches planted through a group of men in a slum. • Team: Movements thrive when they work in teams, emphasising collaboration over individual leadership. • Multiplication: Rapid multiplication is key at all levels—churches, disciples, and leaders. • Prayer: Passionate, abundant prayer is foundational. Movements in India didn't break through until 100,000 people were praying for them. • Obedience-Driven Discipleship: Movements emphasise obedience to God's Word, which leads to personal and collective transformation. • Gift-Based Leadership: Leadership is function-based, not positional, empowering everyone to contribute according to their gifts. • Access Ministries: Creative approaches are used to access communities and meet needs in meaningful ways. The Three Worlds of Mission Dave breaks down the three primary worlds where mission takes place: 1. The Unreached World: Places like India, China, and Muslim regions where movements are taking root. 2. The Christian World: Countries like Uganda, PNG, and Russia, where resistance often comes from established church systems. 3. The Post-Christian World: Western nations (e.g. Europe, Australia), where mission work is harder due to secularism and cultural shifts. Three fundamental core values of movements 1. The Spirit: Movements are works of the Holy Spirit. We can't take credit for movements. It's all the Spirit turning up and working in people's lives. 2. The Word of God: The Word is number one. It isn't a commodity and we can't slice and dice it. Jesus himself is the Word and He spoke about it being planted in us (Parable of the Sower). We are transformed if we respond in obedience to God's Word. 3. Mission: If you follow Jesus, you're on mission. Jesus is God's mission and we find ourselves following him to the lost and broken. The DMM Wheel Dave shares about Pray, Go, Disciple and Multiply - what he calls the ‘DMM Wheel' which has been a helpful framework for walking out the essential values of movement. Personal Challenge Dave encourages us to examine our own hearts and consider the soil of our lives. How is God calling you, and what are the obstacles or distractions that may prevent you from following His call? The episode ends with a challenge to persevere in the race God has set before us, emphasising the importance of mentorship and being shaped by God's heart through prayer and obedience. May this talk encourage you to reflect on the deeper aspects of your heart as God invites us to join Him in bringing movements to life!

Dr. Tim Sperduto - Mark 4:1-20
Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Psalm 16 (selected verses) 1 Preserve me, O God: for in THEE do I put my trust. 2 O my soul, THOU hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; 3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all MY delight. 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. 5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: THOU maintainest my lot. 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. 7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 8 I have set the LORD (THE WORD) always before me: because HE is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10 For THOU wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 11 THOU wilt shew me the path of life: in THY presence is fulness of joy; at THY right hand there are pleasures for evermore. *** Psalm 17 (selected verses) 1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. feigned: simulated or pretended; insincere; fake; 2 Let my sentence come forth from THY presence; let THINE eyes behold the things that are equal. 3 THOU hast proved mine heart; THOU hast visited (judged) me in the night; THOU hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of THY lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. 5 Hold up my goings in THY paths, that my footsteps slip not. 6 I have called upon THEE, for THOU wilt hear me, O God: incline THINE ear unto me, and hear my speech. 7 Shew THY marvellous lovingkindness, O THOU that savest by THY right hand them which put their trust in THEE from those that rise up against them. 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of THY wings, 9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. 10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. 13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: 14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. 15 As for me, I will behold THY face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with THY likeness. *** Psalm 18 (selected verses) 1 I will love THEE, O LORD, my strength. 2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: HE heard my voice out of HIS temple, and my cry came before HIM, even into HIS ears. 7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because HE was wroth. 8 There went up a smoke out of HIS nostrils, and fire out of HIS mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 9 HE bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under HIS feet. 10 And HE rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, HE did fly upon the wings of the wind. 11 HE made darkness HIS secret place; HIS pavilion round about HIM were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 12 At the brightness that was before HIM his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave HIS voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 14 Yea, he sent out HIS arrows, and scattered them; and HE shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at THY rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of THY nostrils. 16 He sent from above, HE took me, HE drew me out of many waters. 17 HE delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD (THE WORD) was my stay. 19 HE brought me forth also into a large place; HE delivered me, because HE delighted in me. 20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath HE recompensed me. 21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 22 For all HIS judgments were before me, and I did not put away HIS statutes from me. 23 I was also upright before HIM, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in HIS eyesight. 25 With the merciful THOU wilt shew THYSELF merciful; with an upright man THOU wilt shew THYSELF upright; 26 With the pure THOU wilt shew THYSELF pure; and with the froward THOU wilt shew THYSELF froward. 27 For THOU wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 28 For THOU wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. 29 For by THEE I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 30 As for God, HIS way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: HE is a buckler to all those that trust in HIM. 31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? 32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 HE maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 34 HE teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 35 Thou hast also given me the shield of THY salvation: and THY right hand hath holden me up, and THY gentleness hath made me great. 36 THOU hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. 37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. 39 For THOU hast girded me with strength unto the battle: THOU hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 40 THOU hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. 41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but HE answered them not. 42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 43 THOU hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and THOU hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. 46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 48 HE delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, THOU liftest me up above those that rise up against me: THOU hast delivered me from the violent man. 49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto THY name (THE WORD). 50 Great deliverance giveth HE to his king; and sheweth mercy to HIS anointed, to David, and to HIS seed for evermore. *** Psalm 19 (selected verses) 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth HIS handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath HE set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and HIS circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse THOU me from secret faults. 13 Keep back THY servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in THY sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. *** Psalm 20 (selected scriptures) 1 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; 2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; 3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; 4 Grant THEE according to THINE own heart, and fulfil all THY counsel. 5 We will rejoice in THY salvation, and in the name of our God (THE WORD) we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all THE petitions. 6 Now know I that the LORD saveth HIS anointed; HE will hear him from HIS holy heaven with the saving strength of HIS right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God (THE WORD). 8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. 9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

John 1:1-5
Listen to this man thinking about the text very closely and when he seems to come to the knowledge of the truth there seems to be a suppression of the truth that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God in human flesh. We praise God for the opportunity to witness to this man and we pray that the Father reveals His Son to him and grants him eternal life.
Welcome to Day 2134 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Gospel of John – 2 – Christ is the Eternal Word – Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message – 01/30/2022 The Gospel of John – Christ the Eternal Word Today we continue our new Good News series according to John the Apostle. This message will present Jesus Christ as the author of all creation. John's prologue offers four reasons to believe that Jesus Christ, the Word, is God: The Word is eternal; He had no beginning, and He will have no end (1:1–2). The Word is the Creator; all things were made through Him (1:3). The Word is the Source of life; nothing remains alive apart from Him (1:4–13). The Word, though completely human, fully reveals the Father (1:14–18). Before we examine these reasons in detail, I will read John 1:1–18 in the NLT; if you wish to follow along, it is on Pages 1645-1646 in the Pew Bible. Take note of John's deliberate progression from infinity and eternity down to the single individual, Christ, in whom all that is infinite and eternal resides. I would recommend keeping this passage open as we go throughout the message today: John 1:1-18 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. God sent a man, John the Baptist, to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He came into the very world he created, but the world didn't recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son. John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.'” From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses, but God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father's heart. He has revealed God to us. The Word is eternal; He had no beginning, and He will have no end. In eternity past, before the beginning of anything—space, time, matter—in the indefinite expanse of timeless existence, in the beginning, He that had no beginning, “the Word” was existing in an eternal, infinite “present.” The NLT is a literal rendering of John's first...

Understanding perspectives from different cultures Oppression in the Muslim world We are called to plant seeds, not close deals. Why people shy away from sharing their faith Demon statue erected atop a courthouse in New York Evil is running rampant Satanism is all about self-indulgence. Does this remind you at all of our modern day culture? The road to salvation is so narrow because we are destined to destruction by default due to our sinful nature leading us there.

John 1:1-18 (1-5)December 11, 2022Pastor Nick Shaffer
The Word became flesh. . . . — John 1:14 It sounds simple: “The Word became flesh.” In other words, the Word became human, as ordinary as any of us. That sounds simple enough—until we know who the Word is. Then it becomes simply astonishing. John fills in the blanks for us. He starts with the timeless existence of the Word: “In the beginning was the Word.” Then he connects the timeless Word with God: “The Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Next John relates the divine Word to creation: “Through him all things were made.” But that's not all. The Word is also the source of all human flourishing: “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.” And the Word is unconquerable: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” All of this is big-deal stuff. And this amazing, extraordinary Word becomes flesh, becomes Jesus. The timeless, life-giving Creator of all becomes as ordinary as any of us. There's nothing simple about that. And it remains a great mystery. But here is something especially amazing. When the Word becomes flesh, the glory of God becomes visible in a new way: “The Word became flesh. . . . We have seen his glory. . . .” Just imagine—a human being shining with the glory of God. How wonderful is that? Jesus, you are the Word of God, and yet you are as ordinary as we are. That is so amazing! Jesus, show us what it really means to be human. Amen.

311 In this episode, I continue to expand our teaching on the three things I would "change" in the church, starting with walking with more power.I use Genesis 1:1-3In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.John 16:7Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.Acts 1:4,5,8And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me;for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.""But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to M in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."John 14:12Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.I use these Bible verses to begin teaching about how power works in the spiritual realm.
“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:17In this episode, we dwell together on the final piece of the armor of God, laid out for us in Christ - the word of God. We take a look at the commentary from Charles Spurgeon on this particular verse, considering that the sword of the Spirit is the only offensive weapon noted in the text. Together we ponder both the tenderness and the power of the Spirit, the voice of our shepherd, and the pages of scripture accessible to us, full of God-breathed words.
