Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

Your leadership impacts lives. Will it inspire faith or bring ruin? Today, we will read the conclusion of Saul's life. If you are ready, let's discover how it ends in 1 Samuel 31:4-6: Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and mistreat me.” But his armor-bearer would not, for he feared greatly. Therefore Saul took his own sword and fell upon it. And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him. Thus Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, on the same day together. — 1 Samuel 31:4-6 Saul's tragic end is more than a moment of personal failure—it's a sobering picture of leadership disconnected from God. His story challenges us to evaluate how we lead and reminds us that leadership isn't just about direction; it's about dependence. In a moment of fear and despair, Saul chooses to take his own life rather than face capture by his enemies. His armor-bearer, overcome with grief, does the same. This event not only marks the end of Saul's reign but also devastates those under his leadership—his sons, his armor-bearer, and his men all fall with him. Three Leadership Lessons: 1 | Leadership Without God is Unsustainable Saul's downfall didn't begin on the battlefield. It began in his heart. By ignoring God's commands and chasing his own ambitions, he severed the source of his strength. Leadership apart from God will always falter under pressure. Whether we lead our families, our teams, or our communities, we must anchor ourselves in God's wisdom, not our own. 2 | Leadership Always Impacts Others Saul's choices weren't isolated. They led to the death of his sons, his armor-bearer, and his men. As leaders, our decisions ripple through the lives of those we influence. Whether at home or work, we must ask ourselves: Are we leading people closer to God or farther away? 3 | Leadership Requires Leaning on God Saul's fear overcame him because he relied on his own strength. Godly leadership doesn't come from having all the answers but from leaning on the leadership of God. When we follow faithfully, we can lead courageously which inspires others to do the same. How will you lead? Will you try to lead on your own strength, as Saul did, only to collapse under the weight of your burdens? Or will you choose a better path—a path of surrender, trust, and courage found in God? The world needs godly leaders. Your family, your friends, your workplace, and your community need men and women who will step up, stand firm, and point others to Christ. It doesn't require perfection, only faithfulness. Saul's story may have ended in tragedy, but your story doesn't have to. Today ask God to guide you in every decision, to strengthen you in every trial, and to help you lead others closer to Him. Leadership starts with faith and grows through daily dependence on God. Be the leader who inspires, encourages, and uplifts—because you follow the ultimate Leader, Jesus Christ. #LeadWithFaith #GodlyLeadership #FaithfulInfluence Ask This: List three areas where you influence others. How do you need to pray over each one? Do This: Be a godly influence and leader. Pray This: Lord, I am ready to lead as You call me to lead. Help me depend on You in every decision and to guide others in a way that reflects Your truth and grace. Teach me to lead courageously and faithfully, always pointing others to You. Amen. Play This: Lead Me.

In this episode, guest speaker Andy Kampman from Launch Global shows us the Global Gospel invitation shown in the Gospel through Acts 1. Will you take it?

The thimble-sized passage of Acts 13:38–39 holds an ocean of gospel truth. This passage announces what the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus have made possible, while also promising salvation to all who believe upon Christ. Our brief sermon will be organized under two main headings, examining each verse individually: 1. A Glorious Proclamation, 2. A Gospel Invitation.

And we don’t want to wing the invitation.” – Shane Pruitt “There's an urgency to what we're doing. There's no such thing as just another sermon. If you're talking to souls, eternal souls, there's no such thing as just another message that I'm giving to the youth. Like this is life or death. And so, the gospel is the power of God for salvation.” – Paul Worcester “I think our goal is always the glory of the Lord and clarity because God is not a God of confusion. And yes, God can work in spite of us. Listen, God can speak through a donkey, so we all have hope.” – Shane Pruitt Find more resources to lead the next generation on mission at GenSend.org.

Should every sermon have an altar call? Not exactly, but every sermon should have a strong application rooted in the text. That's what O.S. Hawkins and Matt Queen argue in The Gospel Invitation. They lay out the biblical background and practical tips for extending gospel invitations in preaching. 

Where have the gospel invitations gone? Do you remember when your pastor said, "With every head bowed, every eye closed, no one looking around…"?

Shane Claiborne, of Red Letter Christians, just spent a few days participating in the “We the People Ride” along the southern border, a story-telling effort to meet the people who live, serve and work along the border. and those who have the best way forward for our immigration and border practices.  He joins Kent and Jamie in this episode to describe what he realized there: that hope abounds, especially in places we might be inclined to think are the most hopeless. Listen for more on scarcity mindset, making a choice between love and fear, and how people can take action—at the policy level—on the border crisis.

We all like to receive an invitation. In the Gospel, God is sending you an invitation and He is asking you to come to Him. The Bible tells us that our sins have separated us from the presence of God but there is hope available in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Over 2000 years ago, the scriptures tell us that Jesus came into the world to save sinners. The post The Gospel Invitation appeared first on Preachers Corner.

1. The Invitation Issued-2. The Excuses Eliminated

A new MP3 sermon from Bethany Free Presbyterian Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: A Gospel invitation to a skeptical sinner Speaker: Rev. Darryl Abernethy Broadcaster: Bethany Free Presbyterian Church Event: Sunday - PM Date: 11/8/2020 Bible: John 1:43-51 Length: 35 min.

Galatians 1:1-5 Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead— 2 and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. In his commentary on Paul’s letter to the Galatians, Martin Luther has this to say of verse three: “These two words, grace and peace, comprehend in them whatsoever belongeth to Christianity.” This morning, we’ll be reading and singing quite a bit about grace and peace. The Gospel Invitation from 2 Corinthians declares, “You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.” We respond with the familiar O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing, praising God for the “triumphs of His grace.” As we sing Psalm 98 and Psalm 40, we remember that the Lord deals with His people in “grace and truth,” and we promise to “spread His works of grace abroad.” After we confess our sins, we again turn to the psalms (Psalm 85; God Be Merciful To Me—Psalm 51) for reassurance that the Lord will blot out our sins “in boundless grace.” The service closes with a beloved hymn by John Newton, which reminds us that “t’was grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.” Because of this Amazing Grace, we can truly have a “life of joy and peace.” Only by the grace of Christ’s redeeming blood can we sing the “songs of peaceful Zion” (Alleluia! Sing To Jesus). As Robert Lowry puts it in Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus, “this is all our hope and peace.” —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: Raised, Churches, Grace, Peace, Deliver, Will, Glory Forever Keystone Verse: Grace to you and peace. (Galatians 1:3)

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow… This morning’s Gospel Invitation from John 3 makes it very clear—because God loves, He gives. We serve a generous Lord who promises blessing even in a world where the days of darkness are many and when all is vanity under the sun (Ecclesiastes 11:8). This is the same God who, in Psalm 112, promises the righteous man that his generations will abound in blessings, and that “abundant wealth within his house will ever be in store.” In Psalm 23, the psalmist declares that his shepherd has supplied all his needs and that his “cup with blessings overflows.” In light of this fountain of blessing and never ceasing mercy, how shall we respond? We turn again to the psalter, where we find in Psalm 100, “Declare the glory He deserves, give blessings to His name.” Our lips are filled with songs of thanksgiving, and this gratitude enables us to be generous to those around us. Isaac Watts, in Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed, puts it memorably: “drops of grief can ne’er repay the debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, ‘tis all that I can do.” —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: Cast, Give, Spirit, Rejoice, Remember, Light, Darkness Keystone Verse: In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good. (Ecclesiastes 11:6) Bulletin Ecclesiastes 11:1-10 Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what disaster may happen on earth. 3 If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth, and if a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie. 4 He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. 5 As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. 6 In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good. 7 Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun. 8 So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity. 9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. 10 Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

Romans 14:7-9 7 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. The theme of this morning’s service can be found in the very first verses we hear from the Gospel Invitation: “we are His people and the sheep of His pasture” (Psalm 100:3). We’ll sing from Psalm 23 that Jehovah is our shepherd and that His house will be our home (My Shepherd Will Supply My Need—Psalm 23), while Psalm 1 reminds us that Christ will preserve and bless His flock (Blessed Are All They—Psalm 1). The final verse of Not What My Hands Have Done confesses, “I live because He lives,” right along with Paul in Romans 14 (“whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's”). This truth enables us to identify with the description of the righteous man in Psalm 112: “he shall not be afraid … his confidence upon the Lord is stayed” (Alleluia! How Blest The Man—Psalm 112). Given all this, we end the service with the words of yet another psalm: “Unto Him, your God, O Zion, joyful hallelujahs sing!” —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: None, Lives, Dies, Himself, End, Lord Keystone Verse: Whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. (Romans 14:8)

The invitation is the most important part of a worship experience. Pastor Clay Hallmark shares how he leads out in an invitation.
