Comments? Questions? Send us a message!This is the second of a three part series on pastors and leaders discipling the saints in the areas of giving and stewardship Not always an easy topic to address, but important. Jesus taught His disciples on the subjects of giving and stewardship.Jesus commanded us to go and make disciples, teaching people to observe all things He has commanded us.Therefore, we are to teach people about giving and stewardship as part of our discipling curriculum.These short episodes are designed to give some practical ideas and tools to the equippers. Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will make at least some of these concepts useful to the hearers.For Poimen Ministries, its staff, ministries, and focus, go to poimenministries.com.

What is the speed of trust? It's an odd question, since rapid acceleration and safe, human connection seem antithetical—moving in opposite directions. And there's the point—and the reason we don't attempt lasting friendships while driving Formula 1 cars, in the backstretch of an 800-meter race, or while racing each other to the top of the corporate ladder. Speed implies competition, a desire to be better than the other. Trust cannot rush, for it unfolds only when our usual pride and combativeness have been set aside. The God who inhabits a universe where stars collide and light itself moves at more than 670,000,000 miles per hour sent His Son to a tiny planet. He came to walk long, winding roads with us, start conversations in homes and at wells, and play with children. “Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, He gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being” (Phil 2:6-7). There is no hurrying the pace of trust, and trust is the Father's fondest hope for us. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God” (Eph.2.8). When we trust His grace, we give ourselves to the One who has loved us through all eternity. Now stay in grace. -Bill Knott

Our God is big, he is transcendent, he is immanent, he is trustworthy and available. He is able to meet all of our needs.

Still thinking about Sunday? Same. Because when faith is tested, God shows up—and shows off. It was our first Sunday in the gym for Slam Dunk Summer, and it wasn't just a change in location—it was a move of God. Powerful worship, a packed house, and a message from Pastor Rodney that stirred hearts and stretched faith. Have you ever asked, “Do I have the faith to get through what I'm going through?” You're not alone. From Luke 17:5 & Genesis 22, we were reminded that God increases our faith through two things: His Word and life's tests. Abraham passed the test. And when it felt like the dream was too big, the wait too long, the resources too scarce, and life too hard—God provided. Faith doesn't grow in comfort—it's developed in the dark room. And here's the good news: God's not done growing your faith. #rethinklifechurch #TheWinningFamily #GoodNews #Bible #godsword #godisgood #lakenona #stcloud #orlando #2025sermon #onlinechurch #rodneygage #michellegage #Jesus #Church #Hope #HolySpirit #learnhow #pastor #sermon #inspiringmessages #wisdom Thank you RTL Fam for your generosity!

Teaching theological truths to children seems mutually exclusive. What comest to mind as you think about the experience: Glazed eyes? Over-their-head discussions? Questioning your own knowledge and experience? Along with co-author Sam Luce, Hunter Williams believes theology doesn’t have to be “too deep for kids” or taught “by professionals.” CLICK HERE For more information or to order copies of How to Teach Kids Theology: Deep Truths for Growing Faith.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wmbwSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This message unveils the first of four building blocks we’ll explore in this series.

In this milestone 300th episode of "Better for America," Rebecca Weber interviews Kirk Cameron, the beloved actor from "Growing Pains," to discuss his faith-driven mission for America. They talk about National Library Day and how Kirk is using his platform to promote pro-God, pro-America values through Brave books and a new television show called Adventures of Iggy and Captain Kirk. Kirk asks, "What if this current cultural setback is really a divine setup for a spiritual comeback led by the family of faith?" This conversation highlights the importance of standing up for values and protecting future generations through education.
