Podcasts about his word

What is the lie that you believe about yourself? Is it that you are not enough? That something is wrong with you? That you are unworthy, unloveable, or unredeemable? Whatever it is you are believing, if it is contrary to who God says you are and what His Word says about you, DISMISS THAT LIE AND THAT LABEL! Hosanna Wong joins me today and discusses with me the new name that God has given her, and how each of us can break free from the lies and get grounded din the Truth of our identity in Christ!

Bible Reading: Psalm 119:97-105Liam squinted at the pitcher, ready to send the ball soaring. But three swings later, he heard the umpire call, "You're out!" Liam hung his head and walked off the field. Why can't I hit the ball like I used to? he wondered.The next morning, Liam sat next to his friend Colson during Sunday school as their teacher, Miss Bryan, started the class in song. When they finished, she held up a card. "This is our new memory verse for the month. Liam, can you read it aloud for the rest of the class?"Liam squinted at the card. "You--Your word is, is…" His voice trailed off when he couldn't finish.Miss Bryan looked to Liam's left. "Colson, can you help Liam out?"Liam's face flushed as Colson read the verse perfectly. He wondered if he would ever be able to do anything right again.Miss Bryan pulled Liam's parents aside when they came to pick him up at the end of the hour. Later on the car ride home, Dad said, "Liam, we're going to schedule an appointment for you with the optometrist.""The optom-what?" Liam questioned."The eye doctor," Mom said. "Miss Bryan mentioned you had trouble reading the verse today in Sunday school. She thinks you might need glasses, which could explain why you've been struggling in baseball."A few weeks later, Liam took his new pair of glasses out of the case and put them on. Instantly, the world came into focus. He spent the entire day moving his glasses up and down to see the difference. Everything looks so crisp! he thought. His thoughts circled back to the verse Miss Bryan had taught them: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. The Bible makes things clear just like my glasses do, Liam realized. It tells us who God is and how He sent His Son, Jesus, to save us. When my way is unclear, I need to read God's Word and trust Him to guide me. "You're up!" Colson said.Liam shook himself from his thoughts, walked over to the plate, and smiled. Because this time, things would be clear again. -Olivia SummersHow About You?Do you need glasses? Sometimes our way seems out of focus or fuzzy. It can happen so gradually we might not even realize it! Reading the Bible helps put things into focus. It tells us who God is and what He did to save us so we could be His children. It guides us in how to live so others can see we belong to Jesus. The next time you're faced with a difficult situation, trust God to use the truth of His Word to shine light on your path.Today's Key Verse:Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (NKJV) (Psalm 119:105 )Today's Key Thought:The Bible reveals God's truth

Bible Reading: John 17:20-23; 1 Corinthians 12:25-26"Dad, at Declan's church they don't teach exactly the same things as they do at our church," Nicholas said one day. "We had an argument about it. Declan said his church is right, and I said ours is. Ours really is right, isn't it?"Before Dad could attempt an answer, Nicholas's little sister and brother came into the kitchen carrying a toy keyboard. They set it on the table. "Connor and me want to play one of the songs Daddy taught us," said Nevaeh. "Okay?"Nicholas laughed. "Okay." Using just one finger each, the kids began to play. As they carefully pressed the keys, Nicholas thought he recognized "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." But then it became obvious that the two youngsters were each playing a different song."Wait a minute!" Dad stopped the little musicians. "You're not following my instructions. I said you should decide together which song to play and then come and show me how well you could do it. Go practice one song, and then come and play for us again."When the children were gone, Dad grinned at Nicholas. "That sure didn't sound the way I intended their music to turn out. But you know, this reminds me of what we were talking about. Jesus wants His children to all play the same song. Anyone who trusts in Him for the forgiveness of their sins is part of His family, and He wants all Christians to be unified--to be one.""But which song should we be playing? Whose church is right--Declan's or ours?" Nicholas asked again."God's way is right," Dad answered. "I don't know what church Declan attends, so I don't know what his church teaches. But we obviously believe the church we go to teaches the truth of what God says in His Word. That's why we go there.""So that's what I should tell Declan the next time we argue about church differences?" asked Nicholas."Why argue? Why don't you and Declan make an agreement to read the Bible and pray that Jesus would help you both grow in your understanding of what it says?" suggested Dad. "Trust Him to help you be in harmony as you share God's love and truth with those around you." -Katherine R. AdamsHow About You?Do you argue with kids from other churches? Christians don't always agree on everything, but anyone who also knows Jesus as their Savior is your brother or sister in Christ. Instead of arguing over every detail, we need to encourage each other and work together to share God's love and truth with the world. Remember that all God's children are united in Jesus, and trust Him to help you choose Christian harmony over arguments.Today's Key Verse:There is…one Spirit…one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all. (NKJV) (Ephesians 4:4-6)Today's Key Thought:Christians are one in Christ

*Paster Kevin Lea: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney welcome Pastor Kevin Lea of Calvary Church Port Orchard WA for a deep dive into his presentation, (along with faithful co-laborers) of Hydroplate Theory to the headquarters staff at the Institute for Creation Research. *Attend! The First Creationist Hydroplate Conference: September 21-23, 2023. Join Fred, Doug and an “A-List” of RSR favorites for the first conference on Creation and Hydroplate Theory Science! Attend virtually by registering today at: Hydroplate.org. *Not the Hydroplate Theory: But it was great to see John Knox and our fellow workers at the Babylon Bee's “straight” news site Not the Bee cite Walt Brown in a story about unrelated water possibly trapped within the earth's mantle. While those waters, (if they exist) are not necessarily related to Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory we welcome the boys at the Bee to link to Walt as often as they can! *Can I Get a Witness? Since none of us were there at the time of the flood, (except Jesus Christ), we must turn to His Word first in analyzing flood models, and everything else in life!

In this episode of BRIDGE Radio, we are joined by teacher and cofounder of Desiring God, Jon Bloom, to talk about his new book True to His Word: 100 Meditations on the Faithfulness of God. In this devotional, Jon gives brief glimpses of different ways God manifests His faithfulness. 

Stephanie invites you to ponder questions Jesus asks, and some statements that believers made throughout Scripture, that are really prayers in disguise, and an invitation for us to ponder the deeper things of the spirit and to invite Him to shape us into who He created us to become. Today we welcome Jesus' question to the invalid at the pool of Bethesda: Would you like to get well? A simple question, begging for a seemingly obvious answer. But let's go deeper. And let's see how we would answer this question for ourselves today. This is about physical, spiritual, emotional, and psychological healing. This is about restoring intimacy with the One who made us body, soul and spirit. It is, ultimately, an invitation to worship and trust. How will you answer? This series is an invitation to immerse yourself in the various ways God communicates to us, and us to Him. So pay attention, He is here and willing to whisper in your ear. A word of caution: don't come to Scripture with the agenda of finding yourself there. Right now we are going to take Scripture in. Like breathing, like eating, like smelling a flower. Don't come to Scripture with the agenda of finding yourself there. Come with the firm intention of discovering God instead. And then Scripture will never disappoint. God promises to be found in the places where He dwells – His Word especially. And in the process, you will undoubtedly find yourself as you find Him. So as we enter the hallowed pages of Scripture together, through a humble doorway and a very simple story, ask yourself: what is this telling me about Jesus?

Episode Summary:  We are perpetually insecure people. We struggle with self-esteem, recognize our fallenness, and find that in spite of our sinfulness, God chooses to use us…if we let Him. God often steps into our lives and gives us an opportunity to be part of His story. No matter who you are or what your story is, God's effective grace can resurrect your life and point to Jesus. Join me with my guest, Tamar Miller, for how to receive God's redeeming grace and live a life that glorifies him. Quotables from the episode: I found myself questioning the goodness and grace of God while begging Him to change my circumstances. There's nothing you can do to earn God's grace—it's a gift to be received. Perseverance is key in any spiritual battle. No matter who or what you are, God can redeem your life. God's redemptive grace and the timelessness of His goodness because of Jesus' finished work on the cross and promise of eternal salvation. No matter who they are or what their story is, God's effective grace has the power to impact and redeem their lives and point their stories to Christ and His gospel message, just like every story of the Bible does, similar to biblical women. The gospel message of Christ continues to change lives with the power to restore, reconcile, rescue, redeem, and resurrect, when all seems lost with no hope, because of God's faithfulness to His Word and promises in Christ and displayed in His steadfast love, transformative grace, and magnificent mercy towards undeserving sinners. I try to remain honest, transparent, compassionate, but intentional to encourage them to cling to Christ and remain in a study of His Word every day. God's ways do not always match our preferences, His purposeful and redemptive plan is for the sake of His glory and our ultimate good, even when all looks bleak. Read and study God's Word and be intentional exploring one book of the Bible at a time. Ask questions, talk about it with other Christian friends, consider what you are learning about God, and then determine how the message of God's Word might have you respond to your circumstances or relationships. God can choose any person He desires as a grace recipient to display His mercy and love in accordance with His plan of salvation. We are not promised tomorrow so today is the day to receive God's grace. Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 15:9-11 (HCSB): “For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by God's grace I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not ineffective. However, I worked more than any of them, yet not I, but God's grace that was with me. Therefore, whether it is I or they, so we proclaim and so you have believed.” Romans 15:4 (ESV): “For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” 1 Peter 4:10-11 (ESV): “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace…in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.”   Recommended Resources:  Odd Moms Out: God's Redemptive Grace in the Lives of Five Biblical Mothers by Tamar Miller New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional by Paul David Tripp Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

KIB 395 – Tarrying for Justice Kingdom Intelligence Briefing   We are in an overlapping of prophetic seasons:  Purim and Pentecost.  Therefore, we are tarrying for Heaven to restore justice in our lives and nations.  Tarrying does not mean we are just waiting for God to do something.  Tarrying is intertwining ourselves in God and His Word.  As pressure mounts in the world, our holy task is to create counterpressure of the Kingdom of God within us.   Dr. Michael K.

Bible Reading: Psalm 145:3; Isaiah 40:21-28When Nolan's mom told him it was time for family devotions, he looked up from his video game. "Aw, Mom, can't we skip it tonight? I'm almost to the next level of this game. Besides, I know all that stuff. I hear it all the time at church, and I even go to a Christian school!" "Nolan," Dad called from the next room. "Turn off the game and come now, please." Nolan sighed and followed his mom into the living room. The next morning when Mom told Nolan to hurry and get ready for church, he frowned. "We probably won't hear anything we haven't heard before," he grumbled as he shuffled toward his room. A few minutes later, he was back again. "I need new pants!" he exclaimed, motioning at the pants he was wearing. "Look at these. They're getting really short." Mom nodded. "I see that. You're growing right out of them. We'll look for a new pair this week." "Good idea." Dad grinned. "I guess those pants must have shrunk," he joked. "Or could it be that you're growing taller?" He looked at his son thoughtfully. "But, Nolan, I get the feeling that you think God is like that old pair of pants." "What do you mean?" asked Nolan, looking at his dad in surprise. "Well, you've implied that you know all there is to know about God," Dad explained. "You seem to think you've outgrown Him. But the truth is you'll need a whole lifetime to learn about God--what He's like and what He does and what He teaches in His Word. Even then, you'll only know just a little. God is so great and so wonderful, we'll never know all there is to know about Him." "That's right," said Mom. "But He wants us to get to know Him better. Jesus became one of us and died for our sins so we could have a relationship with Him. As we learn more about His promises and what He's done for us, He helps us understand more about Him so our relationship with Him can grow."Nolan looked down at the pants he was wearing. "Okay. I'll pay attention in church to see what I can learn. But first I need to put on some different pants!" -Carolyn E. YostHow About You?Do you feel like you know enough about God? Do you think the Bible stories you've heard before have nothing left to teach you? You can never outgrow God. He is the great and everlasting God--the mighty Creator of the entire universe. There will always be more things to learn about Him. You can't ever know everything, but you can know Jesus as your Savior today. (To learn more, click the "Good News!" button in the right column of this page.) Then let Him teach you more and more throughout your life. Today's Key Verse:Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (NKJV) (2 Peter 3:18)Today's Key Thought:You can't outgrow God

Guest Bio: Brittany Maher is compelled by love to empower women to simplify their identity based on one thing alone: Jesus. She is the founder of Her True Worth, a large and growing online community designed to liberate an entire generation of faith-filled women with the freedom found in discovering their true worth in Christ. She and her husband, Ryan, invest most of their time in equipping and empowering God's people for digital evangelism across the globe. Brittany is planted in Michigan with her husband, Ryan, and their daughter, Ariana.    Cassandra Speer is a popular Christian blogger who desires to see women discover the depth of God's love in a superficial world through the power of His Word. She is vice president of Her True Worth, a ministry created to encourage wounded and wandering women to find their identity and validation in Christ alone. Cassandra and her husband are planted in Oklahoma City, where they live with their three children.    Show Summary: Our worth comes from the sacrifice that Jesus made for us because of the love God has for us. But what does it mean to accept that we are worthy? What does life look like when we see ourselves as worthy because of who God made us to be? Cassandra Speer, the vice president of the ministry Her True Worth, shares with hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Elisa Morgan about what it means to accept our worthiness and live in the truth of the Lord on this episode of God Hears Her.   Notes and Quotes:  “We wanted to point women to the worth and value in their identity in Christ. . . . And we wanted to talk to the pinpoints of all the reasons and experiences as to why we feel as though we have to work for our worth.” —Cassandra Speer “She felt only as valuable as her ‘yes.' She felt only as worthy as her availability, or what she can produce with her hands.”—Cassandra Speer “The underlying problem is our identity. Who we are and where that comes from. And there are so many counter identities the enemy uses.” —Cassandra Speer “Our best and worst moments are actually not the defining moments of our worth.” —Cassandra Speer “Day after day we are at war for our worth. . . .It is a daily [thing], taking up your cross and remembering.” —Cassandra Speer “If you are wavering with your worth, you are human. . . .But, as long as we know that our identity is in Him, we are secure. It cannot be revoked.” —Cassandra Speer “It's not who I am, it's whose I am.” – Cassandra Speer   Verses:  Matthew 3:16–17 Ephesians 2:10  Genesis 1:27  1 John 1:9 Isaiah 43:1  2 Corinthians 5:17   Links:  Her True Worth Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hertrueworth/?hl=en Her True Worth Book: https://www.thomasnelson.com/p/her-true-worth/ Her True Worth website: https://hertrueworth.com/home/  God Hears Her website: https://www.godhearsher.org/  God Hears Her newsletter sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/signup Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Elisa's Instagram: elisa morgan author Eryn's Instagram: eryneddy   MB01OBRC5VCIKUV

Bible Reading: Psalms 25:8; 32:8-11After supper one evening, Caden helped clear the table and then covered it with old newspapers. "I'm going to work on my new model car," he said. He grinned as he took it out of the box. "Just look at all those pieces! And these details are awesome!"Caden began working, but it wasn't long before he went looking for his father. "Can you help me with my model car, Dad?" he asked.Dad looked up from his computer. "Sure, but can you manage it by yourself until I finish what I'm working on?""I'll try," Caden replied. But when Dad came to help him a little later, almost nothing had been done."What's the problem, buddy?" asked Dad.Caden sighed. "I don't understand how everything is supposed to fit together."Dad took the instruction sheet. "Okay," he said after glancing at it, "let's figure it out together." They got to work and soon were busy reading instructions, finding pieces, and fitting them to one another.After a while, Caden's mom reminded him that he needed to do his homework. "Okay, and I need to learn a verse for Bible club tomorrow too," said Caden. He sighed. "I like Bible club, but it takes up a lot of time." He turned to his dad. "Thanks for helping. I never would have gotten this far without you. I didn't understand what the sheet was saying until you walked me through it."Dad nodded. "Then trying to put this model together without my help would be a little like trying to live the Christian life without help from other Christians," he said. "That's something to remember as you learn your verse. Your Bible club teacher and our pastor and Sunday school teachers all help us understand the truth of the Bible. They help us understand the gospel--the good news that Jesus died and rose again to save us and give us eternal life--and how we should live as God's children. We need to remember to thank the Lord for them."Caden thought about it. "I guess you're right," he said. "There are lots of things in the Bible that I don't understand by myself." He grinned. "And you and Mom help too." -Dean KelleyHow About You?Do you thank God for those who help you understand His Word, the Bible? He wants you to learn His ways. One method of doing that is to read the Bible for yourself. But God also provides godly men and women who can help you understand passages that are difficult for you. Listen to them, learn from them, and thank God for them. Let them help you discover what God is telling you.Today's Key Verse:Teach me Your way, O Lord. (NKJV) (Psalm 27:11)Today's Key Thought:Thank God for Christian teachers

Have you ever wondered why trusting God and fully surrendering to Him and His will can just be so HARD? It's so intriguing to me that we can so easily say, “I trust God,” but when faced with different experiences as we go about our life & business, we can often find that trusting Him and surrendering in both life & business can be quite difficult. Even when we say we do. Because the thing is… if you are still obsessing about it… you haven't surrendered it. That said, since I know this is a phenomenon that is so overwhelming present, and something I have dealt with myself, I knew it was time to bring my dear friend, mentor & client, Rachelle McKinnon, onto the show. Rachelle is the founder of the brand and ministry, Redeemed Wholeness. And after almost three years providing psychotherapy for interpersonal trauma and anxiety, God called her to leave her therapy practice behind and begin equipping His daughters to stand firm on a foundation of faith built on His Word and the security they have in Him. That said, I knew it was important for her to come on the show, and discuss WHY it can be so difficult to fully live like our security is in Christ. And a little hint for you - it can often come down to our worldview which is very much affected by our attachment style.   What You Will Learn: Why actively trusting the Lord and surrendering to Him can be so difficult to fully live out The 4 different attachment styles that can affect our perspective of the world How each of these attachment styles can affect how you show up in your personal life AND your business The very next step to take if you find you identify with one or more of the insecure attachment styles How you can learn more from Rachelle and go deeper on this topic in my membership, the Called to CEO Collective     MENTIONED:   Membership -> www.hannahbrindley.com/membership   Rachelle's Instagram -> www.instagram.com/redeemedwholeness   The Word in 30 Days -> https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQ7TmPsTyH-a0ntRHxqGxkdu-sm50LRIGcdxJbe-YkF3BqUA/viewform BLOG:   Read this episode –＞ www.hannahbrindley.com/blog/episode70     CONNECT: Instagram –＞ @hannahbrindley     FREE RESOURCES:   Called to CEO Facebook Community –＞ https://bit.ly/reclaimedtoreign   The Called to CEO Confidential –＞ bit.ly/powerprompts Get faith-fueled life & business coaching delivered straight to your inbox every Friday   ROOTED: 3 Day Devotional Series for Faith-Fueled Female Entrepreneurs –＞https://bit.ly/3daydevotional   30 Days of Provision (Scripture Download + Prompts) –＞ https://bit.ly/30daysofprovision   Attract Your Queendom (Learn to Attract Your Ideal Clients to You) –＞https://bit.ly/attractyourqueendom     WORK WITH HANNAH:   1:1 Coaching Options –＞ www.hannahbrindley.com/services   Faith-Fueled Coach Academy (Signature Course) –＞ www.hannahbrindley.com/fca For faith-fueled females who are ready to start + scale a Holy Spirit led coaching business Called to CEO Collective (Membership) –＞ www.hannahbrindley.com/membership For faith-fueled business owners, creators, dreamers and leaders who are ready to embody their role as a Faith-Fueled CEO and take action on their God-given calling   CONTACT: Email –＞ hannah@hannahbrindley.com

Today, I wanted to share some daily affirmations - taken straight from Scripture - for the woman who has father wounds. Your life matters and has meaning. Even if your biological father has not communicated his love to you, your heavenly Father has documented his unchanging thoughts concerning you in His Word. You are loved, wanted and valued by the God of the Universe. Below are the verses of affirmation referenced in this episode. Spend some time this week meditating on them, write them on your heart, and know without a doubt your Father in Heaven sees you and loves you.

God created us in His image, as both male and female, with different skin colors and cultures, and with different roles to play in His Kingdom. All throughout His Word, God lays out specific traits and roles we are to see displayed by faithful older men in the church. Take a listen as Senior Pastor Marc Farnell lists the character traits of faithful older men, and why they are important to the health of a local church. "Better Together" is a sermon series based in the book of Titus, where we will learn how to do church God's way, on Sunday mornings and beyond. __ Follow for more updates from CrossRidge: https://www.instagram.com/crossridgechurch/ https://www.facebook.com/crossridgelife

We are to respond to the gospel by studying Scripture, immersing ourselves in the Word of God. And we do this not out of obligation, because we've been told to, but because in His Word we know Him, we are changed by Him, we gain wisdom, we gain confidence, we receive direction, correction, clarity, love, vision for His glory and plan for His people. Everything we need we find in Him, and He is found in His Word.  ~ SHOW NOTES   Scriptures: “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever.” (Romans 11:36)   “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence…” (2 Peter 1:3)   “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness…” (2 Timothy 3:16)   “For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)   “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)   “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105)   “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” (Hebrews 4:12-14)   “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.” (Psalm 19:7-9)   “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” (Colossians 3:16)   “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” (Psalm 119:11)

What an amazing hope and promise we are given for prayer!In this podcast, I share a little piece of my own family's journey in "May You Pray." As I was recording it, sharing about my Annalarie, unexpectedly, the Lord added one more little layer to the story! I'll just assume that was a divine moment He wanted you to be part of with me! Thing is, we never know how God is going to work in and through our lives when we meet with Him then make Him known. For me, I'm so glad for every moment I taught my kids about God and His Word, and this month is a great reminder of why.God bless you as you join the Family Disciple Me ministry and me in focusing on prayer this month!

Bible Reading: Psalm 37:3-5; 2 Peter 3:18Michael stood on the lawn, wishing he had someone to play with. "Timmy!" he called loudly, hoping his friend next door would hear him. "Tiiimmmeeee!" Michael's mom appeared on the back porch. "Go over and knock on Timmy's door, Michael. It's not polite to just yell for him." "But what if his mom answers?" asked Michael. "What if she doesn't want to be bothered?" "Oh, Michael, Timmy's mom is a very nice lady. She wouldn't mind answering the door," Mom assured him. "Don't be so shy." Michael looked at the neighbors' door. Mom was right--he was shy around adults he didn't know well. But knowing that didn't make him feel any braver. I think I'll just play here, he thought when his mom went back in. Maybe Timmy will see me and come out. Michael wandered behind the house to the tall maple tree where a black squirrel lived. He had named the squirrel Shadow and often tried to get close to watch the little animal get kernels from the ear of corn Dad had nailed to the fence post. At first, Shadow always ran away. Now the squirrel watched with his beady black eyes, but he didn't run until Michael was only a few feet away. "I think Shadow's starting to trust me," Michael told his mom at lunchtime. "He's learning you're not there to hurt him," Mom said. "That reminds me of you. You're still learning to trust our new neighbor--Timmy's mom. When you know her better, you'll see that she's happy to have you come over. The better you know someone, the easier it is to trust them." Pushing her chair back, Mom stood and took her dishes to the sink. "You know, Michael, it's like that in our relationship with God too. The better we get to know Him, the easier it is to trust Him. We get to know God as we read His Word and learn about Jesus, who loves us so much that He gave His life for us." She smiled. "I know I can trust Him to help me through anything." Michael thought about how Shadow was getting to know him and trust him. I want to be like that with God, he thought. And I want to trust Him to help me not be so shy around Timmy's mom and other adults too. -Judith K. BoogaartHow About You?Are you learning to trust God? Do you turn to Him in difficult situations and depend on Him to help you? The more you get to know Jesus, the more you'll be able to trust Him in the situations you face each day. Your Bible tells you all about Him. Read it on your own, learn more about what it says at church, and talk to Jesus every day to get to know Him better.Today's Key Verse:Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord. (NIV) (Psalm 40:4)Today's Key Thought:Know and trust God

We serve a God who created a divine numbering system. In His system, each of these numbers has a meaning. This week we are beginning what I hope will be a long and very informative series on the Biblical meanings of numbers - according to what we see in the scriptures. Please Note:  this is NOT New Age Numerology.  We are seeking the true meaning of numbers in the Bible by searching the scriptures! Only the truth is of any value to us in this. I hope this will benefit you and give you an even greater understanding of the God you serve, and His Word.    

Readings: Acts 6:1–7 Psalm 33:1–2, 4–5, 18–19 1 Peter 2:4–9 John 14:1–12 By His death, Resurrection, and Ascension, Jesus has gone ahead to prepare a place for us in His Father's house. His Father's house is no longer a temple made by human hands. It is the spiritual house of the Church, built on the living stone of Christ's body. As Peter interprets the Scriptures in today's Epistle, Jesus is the “stone” destined to be rejected by men but made the precious cornerstone of God's dwelling on earth (see Psalm 118:22; Isaiah 8:14; 28:16). Each of us is called to be a living stone in God's building (see 1 Corinthians 3:9, 16). In this edifice of the Spirit, we are to be “holy priests” offering up “spiritual sacrifices”—all our prayer, work and intentions—to God. This is our lofty calling as Christians. This is why Christ led us out of the darkness of sin and death as Moses led the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. God's covenant with Israel made them a royal and priestly people who were to announce His praises (see Exodus 19:6). By our faith in Christ's new covenant, we have been made heirs of this chosen race, called to glorify the Father in the temple of our bodies (see 1 Corinthians 6:19–20; Romans 12:1). In today's First Reading, we see the spiritual house of the Church being built up as the Apostles consecrate seven deacons so they can devote themselves more fully to the “ministry of the Word.” The Lord's Word is upright and all His works trustworthy, we sing in today's Psalm. So we can trust Jesus when He tells us never to be troubled but to believe that His Word and works come from the Father. His Word continues its work in the world through the Church. We see its beginnings today in Jerusalem. It is destined to spread with influence and power (see Acts 19:20)and to become the imperishable seed by which every heart is born anew (see 1 Peter 1:23).

Communism kept half of Europe locked up for much of the 20th century. For 75 years, the oppressive system took most freedoms away from its ordinary citizens. The political system responsible for tens of millions of deaths seemed almost indestructible. Then, almost suddenly, the system built on restricting freedom just collapsed. The end came so quickly that all the most experienced analysts and diplomats were caught off guard.   How did that amazing turnaround happen? It didn't happen with guns and tanks and planes. Not a single missile silo was opened. Instead, it took the strategic efforts of a religious leader, a Polish labor union activist, and countless regular citizens in countries like Hungary and East Germany, among many others, to expose evil and demand a better way of life.   In a similar way, God defeats evil by showing us a strategy that might go unnoticed at first.    2 Corinthians 10:4 states, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.” Only a reliance on God and continual prayer will win the day. The battles you are fighting cannot depend on vengeance or worldly efforts. We're fighting spiritual battles and conventional weapons just won't work.   As believers, we're called to duty, called to minister to others, to tell others of His Word, His love for us, and His actions to help us overcome. There are many examples in the Bible of people relying only on God for their victory. Not once did they lose. We won't either, if we lay aside our own perceived strength and trust completely in His divine power.    Let's pray.   Father, help us see that our own plans are often wrong. We get into a battle and become blinded by our own strategies or a thirst for our own kind of victory. But the time to fight must come with a commitment to trust in your infinite power, to rely on the victory that only comes through Christ, and to tell others about our Lord and Savior. Bring this to our mind when the battle rages. In Jesus' name, amen.  

The believer who is filled with the Holy Ghost is called by God to be holy and set apart unto Him. Part of separation is removing from our lifestyle anything that could cause us to live in a way that is displeasing to God. Every part of our life must be in accordance with His Word, for our bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost. 05/04/2023 - Thursday Night Scriptures Used (In Order of Occurrence):The Search for Holiness- Lesson #2- Separated by LoveII Corinthians 6:17II Timothy 2:19Genesis 3:2-3Hebrews 13:8Malachi 3:6Exodus 25:8-9I Corinthians 6:19-20Romans 1:18Proverbs 22:28Proverbs 6:16-19Isaiah 43:2Psalm 101:3Galatians 5:19-21I Peter 5:8II Corinthians 6:14-17

Fear is one of the tools the enemy uses to discourage us and drain us of our power. Whenever you hesitate, pray and believe God. Pray His Word and believe His Word and you will step out equipped and anointed. When you're walking in the Spirit, you are walking in victory.

They call it the "terrible twos" (remember?) because of the new challenges a toddler presents when they hit that two-year mark and they issue their first declarations of independence. Now, I remember when our granddaughter was two years old and doing human "terribles." Maybe because there were a lot more "terrific twos." Now, one exciting thing was an incredible word explosion she had. Sometimes, she seemed to not only know the words, but even some pretty important meaning behind the words. She's been known to sit down right next to her daddy as he was reading his Bible with her Bible open. Now, she knew what the book was called. She would say "Bible." But more and more, when she picked up her Bible, she said two words that she knew went together, "Bible...Jesus." I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "When The Bible Comes Alive." Those two words are always supposed to go together. Because ultimately our Bible reading isn't supposed to be about a book. It's about a person. It's about Jesus. Much like when I used to read love letters from my wife-to-be. I read those same words over and over again. There was no new information the second time, but see, I wasn't just with a letter. When I read what she wrote to me, I was with her; the person who wrote it until I could be "with" with her in person. That's how it's supposed to be when we pick up God's love letter to us - the Bible. We're not with a book. We're with the person who wrote it to us, and that changes everything. Sometimes we get into the rut of thinking, "It's my Bible reading time again." And frankly, maybe we're not all excited about it. It's like our Christian duty. And all too many times, the Bible just sits there as we run through all the "really important" other things we have to do. When you read God's Word, it should be something like the picture God gives us in Luke 10, beginning with verse 39. It's our word for today from the Word of God. Martha has invited Jesus to have dinner with her and her sister, Mary. The Bible says, "Mary...sat at the Lord's feet, listening to what He said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made." Martha pipes up and criticizes Mary for not running around like she is. But Jesus says, "Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken from her." Jesus, of course, wasn't condoning laziness. He was applauding the priority of loving Him over serving Him...of spending time with Him over doing things for Him. Yes, our love will result in serving and doing things for Him, but it has to be anchored in spending time with Him. Your Bible reading time needs to be the time each day that you, like it says here, "sit at the Lord's feet, listening to what He says." David called God's Word "the law from your mouth" and he said it was precious to him (Psalm 119:72). You read the words of the Bible as if Jesus is sitting across from you saying those words to you, because those are His words to you. So when you go through a day without time in God's Word, it's not the Bible that you're reading there - it's Jesus. The Bible doesn't care if you show up. Jesus does. That's why you need to make your time with Him and with His Word, the highest priority of your personal schedule - the sun around which all the other planets of your day must revolve. Jesus wept over His people one day and He expressed His sadness about the number of times He wanted to have time with them but, in His words, "you were not willing" (Matthew 23:37). I wonder if He's been saying that about you and me? It's time to recover your time with Jesus from the margins of your life and put it back in the center. Put Him back in the center. And when you pick up His Book, remember (like the little girl said) "Bible...Jesus."

Will you really sweep it away and not spare[c] the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”…..OTHER RESOURCES:Daily Audio Bible: https://dailyaudiobible.com/Daily Audio Bible App: https://dailyaudiobible.com/home/app/John Mark Comer (Podcast Teachings): Can We Trust the Bible?https://open.spotify.com/episode/0SM2q2Ijfes8ifaYIZp7p4…..Don't Miss Out on the Next Episode – Subscribe for FreeSubscribe using your favorite podcast app:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsAmazon Music & Audible

Likely you know your strengths and weaknesses. We all have them. Ever wonder how God could use you for good in His ministry? We study today about this great treasure of the Spirit of God and His Word that we have in earthen vesselsour frail human natures, subject to weakness and sin. But this means the power working through us is God!

Sadie remembers the first time she noticed Emma Mae McDaniel radiating joy — and it hasn't stopped radiating for 10 years! Emma is the host of the "Have You Heard?" podcast, she's a wife, an expectant mother, and she says her biggest goal for anyone in her audience, or whomever she meets day to day, is to help them personally know God. Emma recalls a life-changing moment — and her pursuit of God, loving Him and knowing more about Him every day in His Word has revolutionized her whole life! Emma says that there are some days when she doesn't always "feel like" reading her Bible and showing happiness to others, but it's because she WANTS to obey the Lord and her love for Him isn't dependent on how she feels day to day. Sadie and Emma have both struggled with feeling the need to be perfect, and how exhausting that can be — but isn't it freeing to know that God isn't interested in our attempt at perfection? Plus, Sadie and Emma talk about the very real fear parents have about bringing children into a dark world, but don't let the worry stop you, rather, take a closer look at what your child is receiving, learning, and observing in your home. That's the best counter to anything they might see in the world!  https://give.cru.org/whoa or text WHOA to 71326 — Get a free copy of Sadie's book "Live on Purpose" with your gift!

It's only up from here. Trust.I used to sing this song at church growing up— 'through it all, I learned to trust in Jesus, I learned to trust in God. Through it all, I learned to depend upon His word."His Word, which was in the beginning, and IS now;It's what you're hearing right now,this Loving-Silence IS His Word.And you're learning to listen for this vibrating Silence, through it all-- through all the noise,through all the challenges,like a rope, it's pulling you up and out of the chaos. You're learning to trust what's on the other end of that rope.Trusting that It's pulling you to safety,that It's pulling you to the recognition that you were never in a well of suffering.That there was no well,just the belief in one,the dream of one,just like the dream of 'you'.And you wake up back on the throne,you wake up back at His feet.I Love you, Niknikki@curlynikki.com_______________________Today's Quotes:"…going up on a Tuesday.” -Drake"Now we're talking about a different end of the world than the bible has meant to most people. We're talking about an end of the world which is not the creation of God. We're talking about the end of a second creation. Of a false creation. We're talking about an internal change of consciousness."-Herb Fitch, Avila Beach"Just the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing."-Krishna Das"Bring your mind to one point, and wait for Grace."-MaharajjiEpisode about 'Looking Up Behind Closed Eyes'The song, 'Through It All'. Support the show

Jennie Allen is a Bible teacher, New York Times bestselling author, and the founder + visionary of IF:Gathering. She is married to Zac Allen and they are the parents to four wonderful young adult and adolescent children  Kate, Conner, Cooper and Caroline. Jennie has a heart and a passion for this generation of women. She believes in helping women to love God more every day, to see Him for who He is through His Word and to help women learn to give Him away as they meet the people around them. Her life and her work testify to this mission that she lives out with such urgency.In this episode, Jennie Allen sits down with our friend, Hannah Brencher, to have a discussion around Psalm 23:2 and this biblical principle of rest. Throughout the conversation Jennie gracefully uncovers how God helped her understand rest by realizing that it had little to do with ceasing, but truly meant learning to trust and abide in Him. The idea of rest can often be one that we as women often reject but Jennie helps us see the invitation and leadership of God to release us from work and striving. We pray that we can all receive this encouragement today, to trust and abide in the Father.
