Podcasts about his word

What if experiencing God's closeness wasn't rare, but constant? What if freedom from sin didn't come from trying harder, but from being so satisfied in Christ that sin simply lost its appeal? In this message from Pepperdine University, Francis Chan calls us beyond hype and emotional moments to a faith that truly abides - a life rooted in Jesus, shaped by His Word, and empowered by His Spirit. This is about a relationship that doesn't fade when the gathering ends, but grows deeper over time. This isn't behavior modification. It's transformation from the inside out. When the Holy Spirit fills a life, something real begins to change. Desires shift. Conviction deepens. Freedom becomes tangible. And what starts as a spark can become a fire that lasts for decades.

Some truths about depression: Some things are necessary in overcoming depression: You have to know God personally and intimately You have to desire to please God by doing what He says You have to obey God regardless of how you feel Some are more susceptible to depression It is especially a problem for those who are responsible to set and keep their own schedule It is especially a problem for those who don't have a schedule Those who have a schedule (from a boss or workplace) have less of an issue with depression Self-control is strengthened by their schedule Self-discipline is set for them already Some things naturally lead towards depression A setback Sickness Disappointment Failure Guilt A tendency to follow feelings rather than to pursue obligations  A willingness to participate in pit-parties or to continually focus on self Nothing but obedience to God and His Word can overcome depression Ignoring it won't work Anti-depressants won't work Substance abuse won't work

Anna and Matt encourage parents to build one simple but powerful habit in their homes: regular Bible reading. Research shows that the single biggest predictor of long-term vibrant faith in kids is whether they regularly read the Bible while growing up—and the good news is, it doesn't have to be complicated. A recent Lifeway study found: Only 29% of kids in Christian households regularly read their Bible. The spiritual activity with the greatest long-term impact on faith was consistent Bible reading. Here are simple ways to build a Bible-reading rhythm in your home:

To live fully and joyfully, prioritize spending time with God in His Word.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The fear of the Lord is deep respect, awe, and reverence for God.  We give God the glory, honor, reverence, gratitude, and praise that he deserves.  God holds this preeminent position in our hearts and lives.  We regard his desires over and above our own.Main Points:1. The Bible repeatedly tells us not to fear. It's been said that the Bible gives us this command 365 times, one for each day of the year. This instruction is referring to destructive fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 - “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” But there is another kind of fear that is good for us. In fact, it's mentioned over 200 times in the Bible. It's the fear of the Lord. What does it mean to fear the Lord?2. Fearing the Lord is about deep reverence and respect. We should fear or respect the Lord as one who has authority over us. It is a recognition that we are accountable to Him.3. Wisdom begins and ends with the fear of the Lord. It isn't a fear of being struck by lightning or fear of being struck dead, but it's a deep, abiding, holy reverence and respect for the Lord and for His Word. Today's Scripture Verses:Listen to what Proverbs says about the fear of the Lord…“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”  (Proverbs 9:10)“He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge” (14:26)“The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death” (14:27)“Better a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth with turmoil” (15:16).“Through the fear of the Lord a man avoids evil” (16:6b).“Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth, honor and life” (22:4).Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

The world keeps redefining truth; but that struggle isn't new. Since the garden of Eden, humanity is continually tempted to question God's Word and follow self instead. While this path promises fulfillment, it always brings coldness and chaos. Yet God's truth will always remain steady, rooted, and unshakable, offering strength and clarity for all who cling to His Word.   Have Any Questions for Our Upcoming Q & A?

Pastoral Chat In the last days, the Bible teaches that dreams and visions will increase, so we should expect God to speak in this way and intentionally steward what He reveals. A practical step is to write down significant dreams immediately, allowing time to discern patterns and meaning through prayer and reflection. At the same time, when others share dreams or words about us, we should remain open but discerning—listening carefully, receiving what aligns with what God is already speaking to us, and setting aside what does not resonate. Above all, every dream or vision must be filtered through Scripture, our unchanging foundation, because God will never contradict His Word. Living in this balance—expectant yet anchored—keeps us spiritually steady and wise. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________    

Here we are reminded that the work of the gospel does not depend on human strength or wisdom, but on the Lord who strengthens His church and ensures that His Word advances, even amid challenges.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. T. R. KernTexts:Acts 18:1–10Series:Acts: The Church on Fire

Judges – Session 7 | When There Is No King In this session from Judges 17–18, we see a sobering picture of what happens when God's people drift from His authority and begin doing “what is right in their own eyes” .   The chapter opens with Micah, a man from Ephraim, who steals money from his mother, returns it, and then uses it to create carved images for worship. Though there may have been good intentions, the foundation was flawed from the start. Instead of honoring God according to His Word, Micah builds a private shrine, creates idols, and appoints his own son as priest. Later, he hires a wandering Levite to legitimize his man-made religion. The repeated phrase becomes the theme of the message: “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” The absence of a king was not merely political—it was spiritual. Without submitting to God's authority, chaos followed. The sermon emphasizes that believers often embrace Jesus as High Priest (the One who forgives and restores) and even as Prophet (the One who speaks encouragement), but struggle most with Him as King. The King sets boundaries. The King directs our lives. The King has first claim over our time, resources, and decisions. When we resist Christ's kingship, we forfeit peace and stability. The tribe of Dan enters the story seeking territory. Instead of inquiring properly of the Lord, they align themselves with Micah's false system. They steal his idols and recruit the Levite for their own use. Religion becomes transactional, convenient, and self-serving. Ultimately, they conquer a peaceful city and establish idol worship there—further deepening Israel's spiritual decline. The message highlights a powerful warning: good intentions do not excuse disobedience. Worship cannot be shaped by convenience or personal preference. It must be built on God's Word. When faith becomes casual, sacrificial devotion fades, and people begin reshaping God to fit their desires rather than submitting to Him as King. The session concludes with a personal challenge. Believers are called to walk by faith, not by sight. We will all stand before Christ and give account—not for what felt right, but for whether we obeyed Him. The solution to chaos is not better ideas, but renewed submission to the rightful King. Key Takeaway When Jesus is not recognized as King, spiritual disorder follows. True peace and stability come when we surrender our lives fully to His authority and build everything on His Word.

One of the great things about following the Lord is that it's the way that we walk into the place of God's blessings. Today we'll study Joshua 1 and discuss the Lord's exhortations to Joshua to be strong and courageous and how Joshua's obedience brought himself and all of the Children of Israel into the place of God's blessings. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    In Joshua 1, the Lord calls Joshua to lead the children of Israel into the Promised Land. In general terms, was Joshua a young man at this point? Why was a man of his age leading the Children of Israel into the Promised Land? Why weren't they in that land already? 2.    Who died in Joshua 1:1? Why is that significant? How do you think Joshua would have felt having to lead the Children of Israel into the Promised Land without Moses? Was Moses their leader all this time, or what it someone else? 3.    What promises does the Lord give to Joshua in verses 3-5? If you were Joshua at this point, what steps might you have taken to be sure you knew and believed God's promises for you? 4.    What exhortation does the Lord give to Joshua in verse 6? In verse 9, what is similar and what is different about the Lord's exhortations?  5.    Why do you think the Lord called Joshua to meditate on His Word, in verse 8? What kinds of things, practically speaking, do you think this entailed? Why is righteous strength and courage impossible without meditating on God's Word? 6.    Now that the Lord has given Joshua these instructions and exhortations (in verses 6-9), how does faith and obedience factor into what Joshua will do next? 7.    What does Joshua do next in verse 10? What does this signify about his intent to obey whatever the Lord has declared? Do you think it would be easy for an +/- 80 year old man to obey the Lord in this way? What kinds of spiritual perspectives went into his courage and obedience?  8.    What did the leaders promise to Joshua in verse 16? What was their view of rebels in this passage? What does that indicate? What did they also exhort Joshua to do? 9.    Are there any places in your own life where strength and courage are required? What principles can you glean from the life of Joshua that likewise apply to your situation?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

FEB. 24, 2026Learn to listen to God.'''Speak, for Your servant hears.' Then the Lord said to Samuel." 1Sa 3:10-11 NKJVIf you are serious about having a truly interactive relationship with the Lord in which you speak to one another and hear from one another, you will need to spend quality, uninterrupted time opening your heart to Him. When Samuel finally answered, "Speak, for Your servant hears," the Bible says, "Then the Lord said to Samuel." All too often, our prayer is "Listen, God, for Your servant is speaking." Listening to God can involve a variety of practices: reading His Word, spending time in solitude and silence, and hearing from God just like a seasoned friend you trust. Here's an example: "As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, 'Tell the servant to go on ahead of us.' And he went on. 'But you stand here awhile, that I may announce to you the word of God'" (1Sa 9:27 NKJV). One of the most effective ways of hearing from God is through meditating on His Word. You say, "But I don't know how to meditate." If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate. In both worry and meditation, your thoughts and focus are given to a certain thing. When you meditate on God's Word, you're focusing your thoughts on the right thing! God told Joshua: "This Book...shall not depart from your mouth [speak it regularly], but you shall mediate [focus] in it day and night, that you may observe to do [act on it] according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success" (Jos 1:8 NKJV).Learn to listen to God Meditate on God's Word.Share This DevotionalSend a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Are you naturally a rule-follower, or do you tend to balk at rules? Brian Delamont joins co-hosts Keane and Heather for a conversation about how God's commands are given in the context of relationship and for our flourishing. "We're created by God to be flourishing and to be in relationship with Him. If we go back to God's original creation, if we go to the garden, in His perfect design God gives us guardrails." - Brian "There's a difference between blind or obligatory compliance and truly joyful obedience." - Heather Genesis 2:16-17 Deuteronomy 5:32-33 "We become the rulemakers rather than actually living in the good things that God has for us." - Brian Romans 2:1 "If in following the commands that God has given us, we are portraying a life that is boring or [...] condemning of others, then we're not actually perpetuating the reality of who God is and our relationship with Him." - Heather Romans 2:14 "God's kindness is intended to lead us to repentance. Do we show that to other people, or do we show contempt for the way that God shows kindness to those people compared to how He shows kindness to us?" - Keane Titus 2:11-13 "We do say 'no' to some things because by saying 'no' to those things, it helps us to live the way that God wants us to live right here, right now, in this present age. Yet, we also know we are waiting for more." - Brian "God is calling me deeper into knowing Him, and part of knowing Him is obeying Him." - Heather Luke 11:37-46 John 14:15-18 "Jesus is asking the Father to send the very power and insight and discernment and understanding we need to keep His commands by sending His Holy Spirit to live in us and guide us into all truth." - Brian "What is actually so distinct about the rules that God gives [...] is that they are about relationship." - Heather "We're not just made to follow these rules; these rules were made in order to help us." - Keane Galatians 5:22-23 Deuteronomy 6:4-9 "What He wants us to do is what He knows is for our good, and that is to be infused with His Word." - Brian Deuteronomy 5:12-13 February Reflection: How do I see God when I think about rule-following - disappointment or lenience? How do I see myself in relationship to God - earning God's favor or leaning on His grace?

Yes!  You are in!  Why does accountability often lack in community and friendship groups?  Because accountability is annoying.  I've been fired multiple times for following up.  In fact, my two most recent cases, they are now both dead.  Not from me.  From choices.  Here you go...Ok, bonus episode as God willing I'm scheduled to interview Spirit Filled Matthew today.  As for a hard look in the mirror, accountability is so annoying.  This is why our accountability groups lack so much.  We will avoid accountability.  It's human instinct.  It adds friction.  As for the deaths, brutal.  Both died to what we were trying to tackle.  As for me, avid listener, you know I'm flawed.  My dirt is all over it.  In fact, I added another accountability brother and he was in my face.  I'm further working on my financial plan.  Getting rid of other debt that I have been procrastinating on.  Are you good at procrastinating?  Depends on what it is right?  I'm too good at procrastinating.  I confess.  It is why I am where I am today.  If you want the full story, go back to the summer of 2020.  We don't just need accountability partners.  You've heard me mention Ola.  I forgot to put the link in the last episode.  You can find it right here in the show description page...https://ola-by-gcross-surf-3f7a020f.base44.appIt is still in beta stage.  Yet, listeners get early access.  It works.  In fact, it works very well.  New users should check the in-app guide and read the prologue, which better explains where I dug my holes.  Matt 22: 36-40.  Ultimately, that's all that matters.  As for Loving God with all your heart and soul, that does mean coming clean.  You honor your Abba by following His Word.  Yes, you and i trip up.  Check Rom 3:23.  It why we all need Rom 8:1.  Yet part of our journey is to honor our Lord with correction.  Repentance means to turn.  We all need to run at times.  Oh and loving your neighbor includes tough love.  Not rude love.  Tough love means lovingly telling someone what they need to hear versus what they want to hear. want to hear.  If you see someone drinking themselves to death or cheating on their spouse, you can't be down with that.  That does not honor your Heavenly Father or your neighbor.  

If you want God's peace, spend time in His Word and align your choices with His will.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bible tells us that the enemy prowls like a roaring lion — but many of his attacks and temptations to sin sneak in. Envy at a friend's house, a moment of discouragement while cooking dinner, a thought that says, “Why not me, God?” In today's episode, we're talking about how to be on guard against Satan's work — envy, ungratefulness, bitterness, laziness, gossip — and how to pivot, with the power of Jesus Christ in you, back into a life God has for us: contentment, joy, gratitude, and purpose.

Stay the Course, Being Steady in the Lord in the Mist of a Volatile World • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give We are living in a time when everything around us seems to be shaking. Nations are shaking, economies are shaking, families are under pressure, and even within the visible church there is instability and compromise. Headlines change by the hour, but the Word of God has not changed. The Lord is raising up a people who will not be driven by fear, trends, or the latest crisis, but who will stay the course and remain steady in Him even when the world is volatile. God is not surprised by this hour. He has already prepared a path for His people. He has given us His Spirit, His Word, and His promises so that we can stand firm, endure, and even flourish when others are losing hope. 1. Steadfast when everything is shaking First, God calls us to be steadfast and unmovable. He does not want a fearful, fragile church, but a steadfast people who know whom they have believed. 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 2. Running with patience, eyes on Jesus To stay the course in a volatile world, we must run the race God has set before us with patience and with a clear focus on Jesus Himself. Hebrews 12:1 2 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 3. Guarding your heart and mind with peace In a volatile world, anxiety comes knocking each day. But the Lord has given us a way to walk in supernatural peace in the middle of chaos. Philippians 4:6 7 “Be careful for nothing but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee.” 4. God is our refuge when the earth trembles There are times when the shaking is not just emotional or personal, but global. Even then, God promises to be our refuge and strength. Psalm 46:1 3 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.” 5. Trials that refine instead of destroy Some of the volatility we face is not just out there in the world, it is in the form of personal trials. But in the kingdom, trials are not just random attacks. God uses them to refine, mature, and strengthen us. James 1:2 4 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” 6. Not troubled by the signs of the times The Lord even spoke about the volatility of the last days. He told us about wars, rumors of wars, and shaking, yet He also told us how to posture our hearts. Matthew 24:6 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars see that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:13 “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”   7. Planted, not blown around In a volatile world, many people are tossed like leaves in the wind. But the righteous are called to be planted like trees by rivers of water. Psalm 1:1 3 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Colossians 1:23 “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven whereof I Paul am made a minister.” We are living in a volatile world. There are shaking events, confusing voices, and real pressures on every side. Yet in this very hour, God is calling His people to stay the course. To be steadfast and unmovable. To keep our eyes on Jesus. To trade anxiety for prayer and thanksgiving. To let His peace guard our hearts and minds. To refuse to waste our trials and instead allow them to refine us. To endure to the end. To delight in His Word until we are like trees planted by rivers of living water. To stay steady in the Lord in this kind of world is not something we can do in our own strength. We need the Holy Spirit. We need the Word of God dwelling richly in us. We need fellowship with other believers who are also set on finishing well. So today, ask yourself, where have I been shaken. Where have I let fear, offense, or weariness push me off course. Where have I been listening more to the world than to the Word. Bring those areas back to the feet of Jesus. Surrender again. Say from your heart, “Lord, I choose to stay the course. Make me steadfast. Guard my mind with Your peace. Plant me deep in Your Word. Help me endure and finish my race well.” As you do, the same God who steadied Joseph in a foreign land, Daniel in a hostile empire, and the early church in a time of persecution will steady you in this generation. The world may be volatile, but your God is not. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in Him you can stand firm until the very end.

In John 4:46–54, we encounter a desperate father, a dying son, and a Savior whose word is greater than distance, doubt, and disease. In this powerful message, we dive into the moment when Jesus spoke healing from miles away—and the miracle happened exactly as He said.The nobleman came pleading—but he left believing. Before he saw the miracle, he trusted the Word. And when he returned home, he discovered that the healing had already taken place at the exact hour Jesus spoke.No matter what diagnosis you're facing, no matter how long the battle has been, Jesus is still greater than sickness. His power has not weakened. His Word has not changed. And your miracle is not out of reach.Be encouraged to move from panic to faith, from fear to confidence, and from desperation to expectation. When Jesus speaks, everything changes.

God gave us a window into Who He is. We can understand more about His character based on His laws. But when we read His Word, it's helpful to be aware of the cultural lenses we all wea, Dr. Katie McCoy explains.

As many of you know, I am serving in this season as the Interim Pastor of Grand Avenue Baptist Church in Fort Smith, Arkansas — a historic and faithful congregation with a rich legacy of gospel ministry. It is a true honor to serve the people who call Grand Avenue home. This past Sunday, I delivered a message entitled “Jesus' Vision for Our Life and Church.” While this sermon was prepared with the people of Grand Avenue and the Fort Smith community specifically in mind, its message speaks to every believer and every church. I want to use this episode of the For Leader podcast to share it with you. I invite you to watch or listen and ask the Lord to speak to you through His Word. May He align our hearts with His vision for our lives and His Church.

You were never meant to navigate life alone. God has provided divine help—His Spirit, His Word, and His presence—to guide, strengthen, and sustain you in every season.

Have you noticed that in our culture, rich deserts are sometimes labeled as “tempting” or “sinfully delicious”?  It's easy to blur the definition of sin and decide for ourselves what is right or wrong based on how it makes us feel. The adversary is very good at tempting us to believe that sin isn't really that bad, it's just a guilty pleasure.  And here's why he's often successful in tempting you and me into sin. But listen to what God says in His Word and the Good News of what Jesus, in love for you, has done about it.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #290 Title: Purim—Anticipating Instant Change   Web Description: We can look at what is happening in the world today and feel like darkness is taking over; everything is getting worse and nothing is going to change. But the Scriptures give us a different picture. The Scriptures show us that things can change in an instant, and the story of Esther is a prime example of that. As we celebrate the Feast of Purim this year, let us anticipate that when we come before the King in our intercession, He will reverse the plot of destruction against God's people and turn our mourning into rejoicing.   Show Notes: The book of Esther records that the Jews established the Feast of Purim "for themselves and for their descendants and for all those who allied themselves with them." It was established so that all generations will remember how the annihilation that was determined and already set in motion was suddenly reversed. In an instant their mourning, sorrow, and fear of destruction were changed into a celebration of gladness and a holiday of feasting and rejoicing.   The Feast of Purim therefore is a celebration of instant change. When we celebrate it, we remember that no matter how bleak things are, everything can change in a moment. What could be bleaker than the plot for complete annihilation of the Jews in the time of Esther? Yet the reversal of that plot has been passed down to us as a remembrance that if we enter the presence of the King and bring our need to His attention, He will command the change and by His Word the destruction that is set to transpire will not happen.   As we see today with Hamas and Israel, satan is still set to destroy Israel and the Jewish people. And as we approach the time of the end, we are seeing satan's plot against the whole earth expand from the Jewish people into all humanity in his determination to destroy all flesh. But we also know by Purim and by the examples of the Scriptures that the plan of destruction can be completely reversed in a moment. So we do not let our hope be tainted by the negativity that surrounds us. We celebrate Purim this year with our hope renewed; and that hope is for instant change.   Key Verses:   •       Isaiah 60:1–3. "Darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you." •       Esther 9:20–22. "It was … turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday." •       Mark 13:19–20. "Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved." •       Esther 9:23–25. "When it came to the king's attention, he commanded." •       Esther 9:26–28. "The Jews … made a custom for themselves and for their descendants and for all those who allied themselves with them." •       Isaiah 29:5–7. "It will happen instantly, suddenly." •       Isaiah 17:12–14. "At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are no more."   Quotes:   •       "You can look and say, 'How can this ever change? How can things ever really be restored to the Kingdom of God from the direction that they're going? How could good come out of such evil?' But we must know and understand that it can, and it will." •       "We celebrate before we see. We have a time of celebration as an expression not only of our faith, but our knowing that God can bring about deliverance and change and bring about another purpose and will." •       "This feast was consecrated by Mordecai for us as those who are allies with the Jewish people and with Israel. And so I proudly celebrate Purim, and I am thankful for my inclusion in its celebration."   Takeaways:   1.    Purim is an example of deliverance, repeated many times in the Scriptures, that things can change 180 degrees in just one moment. 2.    We as believers must live in the knowledge and faith that at any second God can move and everything can change. We cannot be tainted by the oppression of this age. 3.    We must never lose the reality in God that in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, everything can be different.   Scriptural Examples of Instant Change:   Purim. Read the book of Esther. Passover. Read Exodus 12 The Famine in Samaria. Read 2 Kings 7 The Resurrection. Read John 19:30—John 20:29   Resources:   Help Israel Now | Interviews From Israel

February 25 2026 Wednesday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 15 Reconciled In Him #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

Hebrews 12:28-29  Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. "for our God is a consuming fire.”As disciples our goal should be to cultivate within ourselves the unshakable faith and an immovable heart of Jesus This is not something that can come about by osmosis or magic, it can only come by rooting our life in the unshakable unmovable Word of God and all the values and principles He has given us in His Word.Too many of us are given over to the fluctuating circumstances of life when we should be actively anchored to the Word of God through study, meditation, prayer and reflection.Support the showGrowing our inner man as we connect with God's Word

Jesus met a crippled man who had been lying by the pool for decades—waiting for something to happen.

Study books need to keep getting fresh updates! We've set it up so you can stay in the loop with all the exciting discoveries our scientists are making! But did you know there's a book out there that stands the test of time, always resonating with every generation? Pretty fascinating, right? Today, Pastor Mark shares insights on how God's Word serves as a guiding light for people across all generations. God has laid out His roadmap in His Word, guiding you to find the right path when you're feeling lost or a bit confused. Take a moment to read your Bible. It's like having a conversation with God, guiding you on the right path!

One of the most important duties of all parents is to teach the Word of God to their children. Today, we're looking at a powerful passage that calls us to always be about the work of teaching God's Word to those around us. Join us for another important study in the Key Chapters of God's Word! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Read over Deuteronomy 6:1-3, why is there such earnestness in these words? What attitude are Moses and the Lord exhorting God's people to have towards His Word? How much do these words match your devotion to God's Word? 2.    Why is this passage called the "Shema"? What does the word "Shema" even mean? 3.    The podcast mentioned that the last letter of the last word of Deuteronomy 6:4 is larger than normal. This is called a majuscule. What did it signify? 4.    What did the podcast say that ancient rabbis called this passage? How often is this passage recited by an observant Jew? Why? 5.    According to verse 5, what should our heart-attitude be towards the Lord? How does this verse demonstrate the interconnection of a heart, soul and strength? What were some ways suggested by the podcast for how we can develop this kind of love for the Lord? 6.    The podcast suggested that the phrase "upon your heart" in verse 6 was indicating that God's people ought to memorize His Word. Do you have a program for scripture memorization? If not, there are many phone apps that are great tools for verse memory. 7.    The NIV translation of verse 7 calls us to "impress" God's Word upon our children. The Hebrew word denotes patient labor and time. Why is it the parent's responsibility to teach God's Word to our children? How can our instruction help prepare them for the barrage of messages from the world? 8.    In verse 7, what do the phrases "sit", "walk", "lie down" and "rise up" indicate about the places where parents are to teach God's Word to their children? What do they indicate about the frequency? If you have children, what are some practical ways that you can faithfully obey this passage?  9.    How do observant Jews literally follow the instructions of verses 8 & 9? Why did the podcast suggest that this should be taken more metaphorically? What are some ways that Christians might follow the spirit of this verse? 10.    This passage teaches that parents have a special role in the spiritual instruction and guidance of their children. Why do parents have this special role? According to Deuteronomy 6, what is their responsibility in these matters? How will God help them as they seek to obey Him in these pursuits?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Today, we are focusing on how the sword of theSpirit—the Word of God—is our greatest defense against the false teaching ofthe cults and heresies that are so prevalent in the world today. This is veryimportant. At the same time it is our best weapon against the false teachingthat Paul warned would take place in the last days (1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy3:1-9). Thebest answer to secular humanism is the Word of God. If there was ever a daywhen secular humanism has infiltrated even Christianity, it is today. Sadly, weare witnessing what A.W. Tozer called a humanistic Christianity. How true thatis. It becomes all about me—what I feel, what I can have, what is in it forme—instead of asking, What do we learn about God? How can we be holy like God? TheApostle Paul warned even the young church at Ephesus. You must understand thatfalse teaching has been present since the very beginning of the early church.It was already creeping in. Peter dealt with it. The Apostle John dealt withit. We find Paul addressing it as well when he spoke to the elders of thechurch at Ephesus In Acts 20:29-32. He said: “For I know this, that after mydeparture savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also,from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw awaythe disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for threeyears I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears. So now,brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able tobuild you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” God's Word, Paul said, is what will build you up, set you apart, and give you courage and wisdom to deal with the false teachers. Today,people are not asking, “What does God say?” Instead, they are asking, “What doI feel?” We hear phrases like, “Follow your heart.” “What does your heart tellyou?” “What do you think the Bible is saying to you?” But that is not the mostimportant thing. The most important question is: “What is God saying”? Period.Godhas spoken. Whether you believe it or not, His Word is settled. Yet todaypeople ask, “What do I prefer? What do I think is true?” Paul warned that inthe last days people would have itching ears—they want their ears scratched andtickled (2 Timothy 4:3-5). They want to hear things that are not true but makethem feel good. Peterwrote in 1 Peter 3:15, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and alwaysbe ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope thatis in you with meekness and fear.” John also warned in 2 John 7–8: “Formany deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ ascoming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”  Theirreligion is a do-good religion. Do the best you can and you'll get to heaven.Try to keep the Ten Commandments. Then there's good God, good devil, goodeverybody. All you have to do is do what you feel like is the best thing foryou to do. In the end, God will have mercy on you and we're all going to get toheaven one day. I've actually heard these pastors quote Romans 8:35-39 atfunerals telling the people that “nothing can separate us from the love of Godthat's in Christ Jesus our Lord. Everybody's going to end up in heaven one daybecause nothing can separate us from His love”. Myfriend, these are lies of the devil. That's why Jude also warned in Jude verse3, "... I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contendearnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. Forcertain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for thiscondemnation, ungodly men who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and denythe only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ."  Myfriend, we must know the Word of God! It is our best weapon against the falseteachers and their heresy. Jesus said, "Sanctify them through thytruth. Thy word is truth" (John 17:17).

Lysa TerKeurst and Dr. Joel Muddamalle talk about what it means to trust God when life doesn't go as planned. Through biblical teaching and personal stories—including Lysa's own journey through the painful end of her marriage—they explore how broken trust, loss, and uncertainty can shake our confidence, but also how God consistently proves Himself faithful. They discuss practical ways to keep trusting Him by staying rooted in His Word, following the Spirit's leading, and surrounding ourselves with godly community. This conversation is an honest and hope-filled reminder that even in our hardest seasons, God's character remains steady and He will faithfully carry us through.LINKSCruise with Lysa TerKeurst and Dr. Joel MuddamalleI Want to Trust You, But I Don't Surviving an Unwanted DivorceMore resources from Lysa TerKeurstHaven Place Ministries RECOMMENDED: Check out our recommendations of what to do at each stop on the cruise with Lysa and Joel. Hosted by Angie Elkins and Andrea Lennon with guests Lysa TerKeurst and Dr. Joel Muddamalle.CONNECT WITH US!Marked is a podcast from Lifeway Women.  Learn more about the CSB Women's Study Bible.

“Even on my worst days, it doesn't change God's immense goodness toward me.”—Keith Tucci. These are the seeds of rebellion (Psalm 106): forgetting God, losing wonder at His majesty, overlooking His abundant kindness, quickly forgetting His Word, envying others, and grumbling. A rebellious heart becomes a hard heart. It won't hear God, won't flow in thanksgiving, and a heart without thanksgiving does not share its faith or carries a testimony.

In this episode, we are first charged to surrender ourselves to training and to receive life through an encounter with Jesus in His Word.That encounter empowers us, but it is not enough to simply receive power. We must demonstrate it. Every believer is called to carry power that is evident.We are also being reminded not to grow weary or give up.Join us as we learn to be good ground for God's Word.

Follow - Pt 8 - Being with Jesus isn't something we can do in isolation. Jesus left us more than His Word and His Spirit. He also left us His body, the Church. Here's a story in which the entire Body of Christ gets invested in helping Peter in a moment of crisis. It's also essentially the end of Peter being the main character of the book of Acts. But not the end of what God would do in and through him.

God displays for Israel that He can be trusted to provide our needs, day by day, and salvation for eternity, fulfilled in Christ. Prop: Remember that God can be trusted to provide our needs, day by day, and salvation in Christ and His Word for eternity.

Did you know that God is revealing Himself to you on a daily basis? In Psalm 19, David explains how the Lord reveals Himself predominantly in two ways - through creation and His Word. God's voice compels David to respond by recognizing his own sinful condition. Do you recognize God's voice when He speaks? Join us as Pastor Austin unpacks Psalm 19.

What does it take to truly reconnect with God? In Leviticus 8, we see the preparation of a priest, cleansed, clothed, and consecrated for holy purpose. In Ready To Reconnect, Pastor Todd Doxzon reminds us that through Christ we have been made kings and priests, called to live set apart and represent Him in the world. Reconnection does not happen by accident. It begins when we allow God to cleanse us through His Word, clothe us in Christ, and consecrate every part of our lives to His purposes. When we position our ears to hear His voice, our hands to serve, and our feet to walk in His ways, we step into the life He has prepared for us. The world has yet to see what God can do through one person fully dedicated to Him, and by His grace, that can be us.

This week I felt like I was using a ladle to try to save the Titanic.I wish I were exaggerating.But so many of my people are struggling in serious ways, and I spend so much time, feeling like I juggle from encouraging this one, to that one, to this one, and I am really NOT helping anyone.And then the Lord spoke to me, so clearly, so directly, through His Word, in Psalm 27:13-14 -I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!In this episode, I offer a message of encouragement if you feel like you are drowning, like I did this week! Take heart, God is faithful, and you WILL see the goodness of the Lord in this life! (RAR2026EP09)

How Can I Hear God's Voice Clearly?   In this message from Pastor John Lindell, we discover clear, biblical steps to hearing God's voice—through repentance, closeness to His presence, obedience, and a life grounded in His Word. Our prayer is that as you lean in and listen, you will recognize His voice with confidence and respond with faith.
