Thanks-Living (Additional Message by Pastor Yow of Gahanna – “Go, and Make Disciples”) MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today's Message by Archbishop Beach -- ”Thanks-Living”: We need to develop a mindset of “Thanks-Living”, which includes a perspective of “thankfulness” based on God's faithfulness to His promises. God wants us to live with a fullness in our lives, but our lives should not be focused and consumed by “things”. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 6:33, to seek first His Righteousness and His Kingdom: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.". Additionally, Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:25a,27: “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life . . . And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?”. Have faith; trust in God because He knows what we truly need, and God is faithful in His promises. Rather than worrying and being anxious about “things”, we need to view the “things” of the world with “thanksgiving” because God has promised to provide what we need – this perspective and focus on earthly “things God's faithfulness to His promises is “Thanks-Living”. We need to live in thanks for what God has promised to do for us. We should seek to form an “attitude of gratitude” to instill a perspective of thankfulness to God who has provided and will provide – “Thanks-Living”. If you have a need, thank God because He knows your need; and that, somehow and in some way, God will provide for your need. Paul promises in Philippians 4:19: “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.". When you enter a life focused on “Thanks-Living: 1) your life burden is lifted, and it is replaced by God's peace; 2) God becomes your partner is the life issue that you are facing; 3) you are provided with a spirit of anticipation for what God is going to do; 4) you will find that God is always faithful; and 5) your faith will increase. During the week of America's declared holiday of Thanksgiving, practice living your life in “Thanks-Living”. Today's Added Message by Pastor Yow of Gahanna – “Go, and Make Disciples”: Pastor Yow's focus is to take the Gospel and his witness into those places in which God and Jesus are unknown; and the practice of “religion” in these places is, often, through “witch doctors”. Also, those in America, who are supporting missions, must “believe” themselves: “American Christians must believe because there are too many unbelievers in America”. In order to fulfill Jesus' Great Commission to make disciples in America as well as beyond America, those professing to be Christians must be a witness to the Gospel by proclaiming, publicly and often, our faith in Jesus and His Gospel to the world. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FORGIVEN. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9).

Hope for Hard Days ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | September 7, 2025 Esther Series, Part 9: Esther 9, 10 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY In the final episode of the Esther series, Michael Shockley explores how God works through our worst days to bring about His greatest victories. Through the creative story of Hayden and Morty (paralleling Haman and Mordecai), discover how what appears to be a day of destruction becomes a day of deliverance for God's people. As Esther chapters 9-10 unfold, watch the ironic reversal where the enemies of the Jews are defeated, leading to the establishment of the holiday Purim. From the cafeteria catastrophe to the Persian Empire's transformation, learn how God's unseen hand can flip any story - even turning the worst day in history (the Crucifixion) into humanity's brightest hope. This message reminds us that God doesn't cause our worst days, but He absolutely redeems them. Core Message: God works through our worst days. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Hayden and Morty Story Introduction - Creative allegory of middle school cafeteria drama - Hayden's quest for revenge against his spelling bee nemesis Morty - The setup for disaster with gravy, creamed asparagus, and chocolate milk - Parallel to the Haman and Mordecai conflict in the Book of Esther - Cliffhanger moment showing how quickly situations can change The Historical Context of Esther 9-10 - Recap of the escalated grudge that led to genocidal decree - Haman's plot against the Jews and his subsequent downfall - The irreversible nature of Persian law requiring a counter-decree - Nine months between the plot's discovery and the day of execution - The choice given to potential attackers to change sides The Day of Reversal (Esther 9:1-5) - The 13th of Adar: from planned destruction to actual deliverance - "The opposite occurred" - complete reversal of expectations - Fear of Mordecai and the Jews falling upon their enemies - Government officials helping the Jews due to Mordecai's prominence - The Jews defeating their enemies throughout the 127 provinces The Spiritual Parallel to God's Law - The Law of Righteousness exposing all people as condemned - God's refusal to lower His standards of perfection - The Law of Grace through faith in Jesus as the "second decree" - Substitution: Jesus taking our punishment on the Cross - Imputation: Christ's righteousness credited to our account The Battle Results and Aftermath - 500 enemies killed in the capital city of Shushan - 75,000 total defeated throughout the Persian Empire - The death of Haman's ten sons (grown men who supported the decree) - The Jews refusing to take spoils - focused on defense, not wealth - Two days of battle followed by peace and celebration The Establishment of Purim - Mordecai's letters establishing an annual holiday - The 14th and 15th of Adar becoming days of celebration - Feasting, joy, gift-giving to family and the needy - The meaning of "Purim" - referring to the lots (Pur) Haman cast - God directing even the roll of dice to accomplish His purposes The Unseen Hand of God - God's fingerprints everywhere despite His name never being mentioned - From orphan and intended victim to champions of peace - The transformation of superstition into recognition of divine favor - How apparent coincidences reveal providence in hindsight The Conclusion of Hayden and Morty - The backpack tear held together by failing duct tape - The pencil on the floor causing Hayden's spectacular fall - The complete reversal: Hayden covered in food, Morty triumphant - "You got served" - divine justice with a sense of humor - From cafeteria catastrophe to unexpected hero status God's Redemption of Our Worst Days - How God doesn't cause our worst days but redeems them - The parallel between Esther's story and the Cross - Turning the day of Crucifixion into humanity's brightest hope - Personal application for loss, failure, betrayal, and current struggles - The invitation to trust Jesus with all we dread ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "God works through our worst days."

Which is to say, He suffered through the test, and we got the passing grade." "Even the naming of the holiday shows that God directed even the roll of the dice to choose the day." "God's Name is never spoken, but God's fingerprints are everywhere." "God never wastes our pain. He doesn't cause our worst days, but He redeems them." "If God could turn the horrible day of Crucifixion into the brightest hope in history, He can redeem your story, too." "You got served." (Lunch Lady Loretta) "Got milk?" (Morty) ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 9:1-5, Chapters 9-10 complete - Key Theme: Divine reversal and redemption through apparent defeat - Historical Context: The 13th of Adar and the establishment of Purim - Theological Concepts: Substitution and imputation through Christ - Gospel Connection: How God redeems our worst days through the Cross - Literary Note: God's providence shown without direct divine mentions ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Experiencing Your Worst Day Right Now: - Remember that God specializes in flipping stories and reversing outcomes - Trust that what feels like destruction may be setting up deliverance - Know that God's unseen hand is working even when you can't see it - Understand that apparent coincidences often reveal divine providence If You're Dealing with Past Failures and Regrets: - Recognize that God doesn't waste pain but redeems it for purpose - Remember that your worst moments don't define your final story - Trust that the same God who redeemed the Cross can redeem your past - Allow time and perspective to reveal how God was working all along If You Feel Condemned by Your Imperfections: - Understand that God's law reveals our need, not our hopelessness - Know that perfection is required, but Christ provides it for us - Trust in substitution: Jesus took your punishment on the Cross - Believe in imputation: Christ's righteousness is credited to your account If You're Waiting for Justice: - Remember that God's timing often involves longer processes than we expect - Trust that divine justice is more complete than human revenge - Know that God can turn your enemies' attacks into your strengthening - Understand that true victory often looks different than expected If You Haven't Trusted Jesus Yet: - Consider how the Cross transformed history's worst day into its best news - Understand that salvation comes through faith, not perfect performance - Know that God can flip your story no matter how bad it seems - Trust Jesus with all you dread and receive His redemption today ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Maybe you're living through what feels like your worst day. Loss, failure, betrayal, diagnosis, job loss, or consequences from past mistakes. Perhaps you feel like Morty, about to be destroyed by forces beyond your control. Or maybe you feel like Hayden, watching your carefully laid plans collapse in spectacular failure. The good news of Esther - and the even greater news of the Gospel - is that God works through our worst days. He doesn't cause them, but He redeems them. The same God who turned a day of destruction into deliverance for the Jews, who turned the horror of Crucifixion into the hope of salvation, can flip your story too. Trust Him with all you dread. Trust Jesus for salvation. Your worst day may be setting up God's greatest work in your life. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- What worst day in your life needs God's redemptive touch?

Repentance is great! When you change your life around it is like you have entered a new dimension, with time, energy and focus on your hands. While changing for the better is good, it is crucial for us to examine the motives behind the change. Running after change for the wrong reasons can set us back, when the object of our inspiration lets us down. Religion, relationships, culture, and values have all been great reasons for us to make a change in our lives, but the change that Jesus calls us to is backed up with His Righteousness, Power and Purpose, this change is a positive change that points us towards purpose, everything else is a false positive. Stay tuned as we tear down the idols of false positives which are nothing but failures waiting to be birthed.
God's Word can be a Lamp unto our feet and Light unto our Path if we are being led by His Spirit in the Path's of His Righteousness because all of His Words are IN Righteousness.

Calling California home, our guest today, Howard Becker, was raised in a devout family, but found himself adrift in his early twenties. By his mid-twenties, experiences led him to the startling realization something was missing in his life. This moved him to seek answers for what that "something" is, which led him to the Bible and the key to living an abundant, fulfilled life. He cites as his life theme the words of Jesus: “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”Read his insightful book, The Spiritual Meaning of Scripture, available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

I don't want to lose you by getting you to jump into anxious thoughts, but think about it for a second… Here's a few things I find myself anxious or worried about -I'm not sure how we're going to pay that bill -How are we going to get everyone to where they need to go -When am I going to have time to finish that project with everything I've got to do -I'm afraid I'm not going to be home on time because of this meeting -Oh no, my phone is ringing, what do I do? ;) -I feel like I'm losing my kid -I wonder if a person is secretly judging me -I'm worried we won't have enough for retirement -I don't know what to do with my kids -I can't figure out what I did wrong with my spouse I mean, let's be honest, we could go on and on, couldn't we? Worry and anxiety are at epidemic levels in our country. Look at this chart: [put chart on screen] If you are older, you don't get it and if you're younger, you don't know how someone couldn't get it… This calls for compassion and some reconsidering of our how we order our world… b I think it calls for going back to the one who created you and listening to see if His words could have some meaning in your life… I want to read some of Jesus' words and look at them in the context of how we all live our everyday life and then ask the question What if we took Him seriously - what would life look like for you? Mt 6:25-34 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Does anybody else feel like at this point you are wanting to say to Jesus “don't worry about life and eat or drink? That's all I do Jesus is worry” I feel like some of us make worry out like it's a sport - we're so good at it that if there was an olympics in worry, we'd have been in Paris this last summer… I want you to notice something about what Jesus is doing here. Jesus is trying to elevate your vision - move your eyes upwards. b “Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?” ILLUSTRATION: Years ago, I had a really good friend who I was talking with. After a few minutes of talking with him he stopped me and said, “Hey, what's going on with you, you haven't shared one real thing about your life with me, you're just keeping everything at a surface level.” Jesus is trying to get you past a surface level of life. He wants you to find joy and freedom, to be able to really embrace life - but you know as well as I do that when you are caught up constantly worrying about the next bill, worrying about your time, your food, your whatever that you are not living life, you are staying on the surface… Life is more… and your anxious, controlling, and predicting the future is keeping you from the now. 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]? I want to ask you two questions that Jesus asks you here - really ask them. Are you more valuable than birds to God? It seems like a silly question at first - probably your instant answer is “yes”. But can I ask it another way? Do you really believe you are valuable to God? My experience has been most people can believe that others are valuable to God, but not themselves. I personally struggle with that. Intellectually I know God loves me, but at a gut level, I wonder how He could… Part of your anxiety, and mine, comes from an inability to rightly believe how much God really loves you. b What would change if you really believed God was good and that He loved you madly? some of you need to stop listening to this sermon and spend the rest of the service thinking about that question. Jesus asks - Can you add a single hour to your life through worry? No, we can theoretically add to our lifespan in modern times, but guess what, when you die, you are dead, there is no adding to that time. Your lifespan is not theoretical, at some point it will be defined. Your worry does not change that end - it's an illusion. 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? The NIV always translates this as “you of little faith” or “why do you have so little faith”, but I've heard Greek scholars say it would be better translated as Little Faiths (the Greek word is oligó(little)pistos(faith)) Can I give you a little encouragement… Jesus is talking about this because He expects we'll struggle with it. He gives the prescription because we all have the ailment. b His disciples who saw, walked, ate, ministered with Him - Jesus gives them the nickname “Little Faiths.” You are not alone in this… 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Jesus very clearly tells us to not worry, but how can we do that? His answer is simple Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. b When worry pops up, when anxiety fills your brain - lift your eyes up, ask yourself, how can I seek His Kingdom and Righteousness today? Honestly, it won't be long till that turns into, “Jesus, how can I seek your kingdom and righteousness today - here and now… God is saying, “when you care for the things I care about, I will take care of you.” Actually as I really meditated on this something hit me that had never hit me before. CLOSING ILLUSTRATION: Recently Jenni and I had a huge financial burden strike us that we hadn't expected. I was really freaking out if I'm honest - I grew up poor and feel an incredible responsibility to care for my family and honestly always try and keep us from being in that position. I didn't know what to do. I prayed and just kept going towards Jesus and serving Him. Here's what's crazy. I got an envelope given to me - honestly, I didn't even open the envelope for a few days. But when I did, I found out it had exactly the amount we needed to pay the bills. It was crazy. But can I tell you what's even crazier? That has been my experience over and over again. That God takes care of our needs. He is faithful. One of the things that struck me is when you are seeking first God's Kingdom and His Righteousness - you tend to be around people who are doing that as well - we call this the church. And all of the sudden we are taking care of one another. I don't think Jesus is saying this will be magical. What He is saying is that when you are submitting your will to His Will, He will take care of you, part of how He does that is by using people who's will is submitted to Him as well. Can I tell you a secret? This isn't a get rich scheme. You can't do this to get God to pay your bills. He knows your heart and what you really seek. What it is, is insurance that if you give up letting money and security be your God and let God be your God, that He will take care of you. A great example of this is I heard recently how one of our connect groups stepped up to help a family in the group and supported one another - people giving money to care for the needs of others… See, When you give yourself wholly to Jesus you find a holy Jesus who holds you in His hands. --------------------------------

Parsha Nitzavim ["you are standing THIS Day..." from Deuteronomy 29:9 through chapter 30] contains what Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa contend is one of the most graphic and undeniable refutations of some of THE Biggest Lies in all xtianity...things that are NOT in the Real Book, but get taught in sun-god-day skool as if they actually were. It also contains THE singular Two Word Summary of not only His Instruction, but how to "rightly divide the Word," which applies even if it even appears to the 'uneducated and untaught' as if there is some conflict. The Erev Shabbat reading makes it clear: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/SSM-9-8-23-Nitzavim-Deut-30-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 The Sabbath midrash explores the depth of the Big Lie that most of us were taught - wrongly - in a church which first tried to claim "the Law" was "done away with," and then followed up with the caveat, that, well, 'NOBODY but jesus could possibly KEEP it anyway!' Worse, is that both of them try to claim the Creator and Author of Scripture Himself is a liar for so clearly saying otherwise! But ALL of that comes to a head in this parsha, where the lessons of this season's Fall Feasts combine with a 'greater Exodus,' still to come, to show WHY those lies are so devastating. "Nitzavim: Debunking the Big Lie that's NOT in The Book - with His RIGHTEOUSNESS" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/WT-CooH-Nitzavim-Chose-HaYom-His-RIGHTEOUSNESS-Tzadekah-podcast-xxxx.mp3 The combined two-part teaching is here:
God is in the rescue business and it is a good thing, or ALL OF US would be lost. Remember, God is also in the Justice/Judgment business. Absent His help, His mercy, His wrapping us in HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, we'd all be toast. Without Jesus, every single one of us is on the wrong team: the unrighteous team. Everybody. But here's the good news: He makes a way that HIS righteousness can count for us. Noah pictures this. He is the "herald of righteousness." He is the "trumpet-shell" through which this message to mankind starts. It gets rolling with Noah and then is a juggernaut in Jesus. God is in the RESCUE BUSINESS.Bewithme.us is the way you can get this tomorrow unless God rescues me fully tonight. Alternatives are Apple Podcasts, google podcasts, Spotify, or cashbox.
