CHRISTIAN LIFE COACH COLLECTIVE- Change Your Life, Start a Coaching Business, Walk in Your Calling
IDENTITY BEFORE STRATEGY- As we open a new year inside the Christian Life Coach Collective, this episode begins somewhere different. Not with pressure, performance, or planning, but with listening. Through prayer and guided reflection, you are invited to ask God who He says you are as a coach, why He shaped you the way He did, and who you are meant to serve. This episode walks you through identity, purpose, belonging, and a Great Exchange where lies are released and Truth is received, setting a grounded foundation for your coaching and business in the year ahead. Key Takeaways: Identity precedes clarity, and listening comes before doing. Your coaching purpose is often simple, faithful, and rooted in how God formed you. Belonging is about resonance, not chasing markets or money. Action Guide: Set aside quiet time this week to revisit the core questions from the episode. Ask God who He says you are, why He shaped you for coaching, and who you are meant to serve. Write down what you hear without editing or rushing. If lies surface, intentionally exchange them for Truth and let that Truth guide your next small, faithful step. If you want to go deeper into identity, purpose, and belonging as a woman of faith, listen to my companion podcast: StoryMakers. To explore working together, visit SterlingAndStoneMentoring.com.

Sermon for December 25.
The birth of Jesus is preceded by the announcement and birth of John the Baptist. If Jesus truly is the Promised Messiah, the messenger must come first to prepare the way. Luke's presentation of John the Baptist includes the theme of reversal. When Jesus comes he will reverse the trajectory of Israel's story toward redemption, hope, and joy.
Christ came into this world to give us the great exchange. He took our sin and we gave him our iniquity. He took our disease and gave us His healing. The great exchange
In this Sermon, we continue our Advent celebration by focusing on the peace that comes through Jesus Christ. Exploring Ephesians 2, we uncover the "triple threat" of the world, the flesh, and the devil that seeks to separate us from God. Ultimately, we look to the "Great Exchange," where Jesus steps in to offer grace and peace to the guilty.
The sermon centers on the transformative power of God's great exchange—where Christ trades His divine riches, joy, peace, love, and life for humanity's poverty, sorrow, trouble, hatred, and death. Drawing from personal testimony of a call to ministry, years of struggle, and faith-filled service in Cambodia, the preacher illustrates how God's grace redefines value, purpose, and hope. Anchored in Scripture—particularly Mark 8:36, 2 Corinthians 8:9, John 16:20, and Romans 5:8—the message emphasizes that true fulfillment comes not from worldly gain but from surrendering to Christ's redemptive exchange. The preacher calls believers to respond with wholehearted devotion, living sacrifices of service, joy, and evangelism, recognizing that every life is a mission field and every moment an opportunity to reflect God's eternal worth. The tone is deeply pastoral, convicting, and hopeful, urging listeners to embrace God's provision, reject selfishness, and actively share the gospel with urgency and love.

Inspired by a line from one of our hymns—”For us Thou, Lord of Glory, was numbered with the dead”—Luke Harriman shared this reflection on the great exchange that occurred on the cross. Through Christ's sacrifice, we were transferred from enmity to God to a place of blessing and rest. What a Savior!

LIVING AS HEAVEN'S LEGAL TENDER. THE GREAT EXCHANGE
Have you ever wondered what happens when Heaven establishes her economy on Earth through your life? When God doesn't just bless you, but works through you to shape systems, to create value, and to transform the world around you?You are Heaven's currency, stamped with divine authority, carrying God's image, and backed by His authority. What you carry was never meant to sit idle; it was designed to circulate, to be part of establishing His order and His purpose, and counsel here on Earth.When God invests His image in you, He expects a return through your creativity, by your productivity, and because of your contributions to effecting His plan here on the Earth. Your life was designed to manifest wisdom, to make impact in a world that is desperate for both.
Northwest Bible Church – Oct. 26, 2025 – Reformation Day – Alan Conner Romans 5:1 The Doctrine of Justification Intro A. JUSTIFICATION: WHAT DOES IT MEAN? 1. LBCF 11.1 - Those whom God effectually calleth, he also freely justifieth, not by infusing righteous-ness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous; not for anything wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ's sake alone; . . . but by imputing Christ's active obedience unto the whole law, and passive obedience in his death for their whole and sole righteousness by faith, which faith they have not of themselves; it is the gift of God. 2. A legal declaration of being righteous, not to make them righteous (sanctification). Lk. 7:29; Deut. 25:1; Prov. 17:15 B. JUSTIFICATION: HOW DOES IT OCCUR? 1. One lives a perfectly righteous life. Jas. 2:10; Romans 3:10 2. One must be given a righteousness that is perfect. Romans 3:24; 5:17; Phil. 3:9; 2 Cor. 5:21 3. The transaction of imputation or “credited.” Romans 4:5 C. JUSTIFICATION: WHAT DOES IT GIVE? 1. Forgiveness of all our sins. Romans 4:6-8; Col. 2:13 2. Imputed righteousness of Christ. Phil. 3:9; 2 Cor. 5:21 3. The Great Exchange. Double imputation. D. JUSTIFICATION: WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN? 1. Accomplished at the cross. Romans 3:24; 5:9 2. Applied at the moment of saving faith. Romans 3:28; 5:1; Gal. 2:16 E. JUSTIFICATION: WHAT DOES IT RESULT IN? 1. Sanctification. Jas. 2:26 2. Glorification. Romans 8:1, 33-34, 30 Conclusion

Series: A Transformed Life — Preacher: Trace Martinez
Today's focus is on the profound truth of transformation through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of us spend our lives climbing ladders—whether in sports, academics, finances, or even spirituality—constantly measuring ourselves against others and wondering if we “measure up.” Yet, when it comes to our relationship with God, the standard is not just being “good” but perfect goodness, the kind embodied by Jesus Himself. If we're honest, none of us can reach that standard on our own. We all fall short, no matter how hard we try, and our efforts—whether through morality, religious activity, or comparison—cannot bridge the gap between us and God.But the good news is that God, in His love and mercy, did not leave us to climb the ladder alone. Instead, Jesus, who was perfect and sinless, descended to meet us in our brokenness. He lived the life we could not live and died the death we deserved, taking our place. This is the “Great Exchange”—our guilt transferred to Jesus, and His righteousness transferred to us. When we put our faith in Christ, God sees us not in our failures, but clothed in the perfection of Jesus. This is not something we earn; it is a gift of grace, received by faith.This truth is not just theological; it is deeply personal and transformative. For those who are new to faith, or even just exploring, know that God's love is for you, and He invites you into His family. For those who have followed Jesus for years but feel distant or cold, let this truth reawaken your heart. The gospel is not about striving harder but about surrendering to the love and grace of God, allowing Him to transform us from the inside out. As we receive this grace, it overflows into every area of our lives—our families, our work, our relationships—bringing true and lasting change.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[00:12] - Revival Among the Younger Generation[01:07] - Fields of Faith Community Event[02:27] - Supporting Young Leaders: Austin's Story[03:11] - The Ladder of Comparison[05:04] - Lessons from Athletic Competition[10:11] - Measuring Up: The Spiritual Ladder[14:40] - Two Audiences: Newcomers and Longtime Believers[18:08] - Drifting from Our First Love[20:44] - The Ladder and Our Inability[21:20] - Jesus' Standard: Love God and Neighbor[25:17] - The Struggle with Sin and Self-Centeredness[28:54] - How Good is Good Enough?[29:30] - Paul's Diagnosis: No One is Righteous[32:15] - We All Fall Short[34:23] - The Gospel: Jesus Meets Us in Our Mess[35:22] - The Great Exchange: Someone Took My Place[38:10] - Peter's Testimony: Brought Safely Home[39:29] - The Transfer: Guilt to Jesus, Righteousness to Us[43:23] - Justification: Declared Righteous[45:13] - Ephesians: From Death to Life[47:08] - The “But God” Moment[49:55] - Salvation by Grace Through Faith[52:27] - Transformation: Overflowing Grace[55:30] - The Invitation: Will You Receive Jesus?[58:11] - Closing Prayer and ResponseBible App Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49503220Beyond Sunday Devotional: https://eaglesview.church/devotional

Beauty for Ashes, Diamonds for DirtLuke 23:1-25The Village Chapel - 09/28/2025In the early morning hours of what we now call Good Friday, Jesus was taken by the religious leaders to stand trial before Pontius Pilate. In Luke's account, Jesus speaks only five words when he responds to Pilate's question, “Are you the King of the Jews?” and says, “It is as you say.” We come to a crossroads in this account: Courage and cowardice converge; actual authority and power are displayed through silent suffering; and Jesus, being entirely innocent, willingly exchanges his life for the life of a convicted criminal and takes his place on the cross. What looks like a victory for Satan ends up being the masterstroke of God's Divine plan of rescue and redemption for the human race.

Roger Wheeler, a real estate agent from Iowa, discovered that comfortable Western Christianity was missing something crucial - the biblical call to share surplus with those in need. What started as orphan care work in Ghana evolved into a powerful revelation about global hunger within the Christian community. When Roger encountered families surviving on less than 1,000 calories per week, he couldn't ignore the contrast with his own abundance. Through Shoulder to Shoulder ministry, Roger and his brother have now sent over $1 million to feed starving Christians in Zambia, working through 122 local churches with zero administrative overhead. But this isn't just about feeding the hungry - it's about what Roger calls a "food for faith exchange." As wealthy believers give from their surplus, they discover the deeper spiritual life that comes from true dependence on God. Roger challenges us to see ourselves as "a big herd of camels" struggling to enter the kingdom, while those we serve possess a richness of faith we desperately need. This conversation will transform how you think about poverty, wealth, and what it means to follow Jesus in a world of extreme inequality.

What makes a person give up a real diamond in order to take a fake plastic one? Sounds crazy, right? But that's what an ungodly person does. They often abandon the glory of their Creator for cheap imitation versions. In this episode, we will uncover the tragic pattern of idolatry, explore why it still tempts us today, and learn how to stand firm against it.
On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Here in chapter 3 of the book of Romans, Paul shows us a detailed look at the doctrine of justification by faith as opposed to the Law of Moses. What is justification? It renders the believer ‘just as if' they had never sinned, otherwise known as The Great Exchange. You give Jesus your sin, and in exchange for that, He gives you His righteousness rendering you sinless from God's perspective. But remember! There is a judgment coming called the Judgment Seat of Christ, and you will be graded there on your works after salvation. This is Part #3 in a series.
Brandon walks us through Philippians 3:1-11 and the sobering reality that we can do nothing to gain our salvation and the awesomeness of Christ and the great exchange. "I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God's way of making us right with himself depends on faith." Philippians 3:9

How can a sinful person be accepted by a holy God? Justification is a judicial act of God, in which He declares a sinner righteous, not because of the sinner's merit, but because of the righteousness of Christ. By God's grace, this righteousness is imputed to the sinner by faith alone in Jesus Christ. This justification, this Great Exchange, is only possible because the perfect life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Our sins are laid on Christ and his righteousness is laid on us. That is the great exchange — and it becomes ours not by works but by faith.
