TEXT: Psalm 73 Hold fast & Held fast

How do we grow spiritually? The false teachers were binding the Colossians to Old Covenant ceremonies and festivals and a form of mysticism as a way to grow and even to experience visions of heavenly worship. Pau says there is only one way and it is to hold fast to the Head, Jesus Christ.

Today we started to read the book of Job: it has a powerful message, indeed an important message for us. But it is a strange book in the way the message is conveyed.  We have come to the conclusion that it is an extended parable although built on an actual person and events.  We need to read it exercising our minds on the events which lie behind this parable and what these led to..     Our understanding is that “when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan (the ESV footnote says, ‘the adversary' – and this is the meaning of the Hebrew and how it is translated in passages such as 1 Sam 29 v.4, 2 Sam 19 v.22, 1 Kings 5 v.4 &c) … Satan came among them” [Job 1 v.6]   This is picturing, we suggest, how the LORD sees the hearts and attitudes of those assembled for worship before him  (cf Rev, 2 v,23) and in doing that he perceives any jealousies in their minds.Job “was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil” [v.1] But because he was so successful in material things, another worshipper was jealous and thinks in his mind, and maybe says aloud to some, “Does Job fear God for no reason?” [v.9] He is thinking Job is only in attendance before God for the material benefits of doing so.  This ‘parable' illustrates that this is not the case and this is another lesson for us..Job's response to his wife, after calamities befall them and she says, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity?  Curse God and die”  was to say, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak.  Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?” [2 v.9,10]  It is interesting to study the various contexts in which the Hebrew word, translated here as ‘evil' occurs, for e.g. Psa. 10 v.6 where it is translated, “adversity.”  Consider all the “evil” Paul experienced when he turned to serve Jesus.It is not until we come to the end of the book that we see the essential point the book is conveying to us.  Job confesses to God, “I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I repent in dust and ashes.”  [ch. 42 v.5,6]  We can say, we have read of God and reasoned in our minds as to what he must be – but how fully do we “see”?  Paul told the Ephesians to have “the eyes of your hearts enlightened” [1 v.18]The ‘parable' is complete in the final verses of the book when Job's losses are restored  “And the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before …and the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning” [v.10,12]  We can see its application to the fulfilment of the promise of resurrection and the glories of God's kingdom, “Be faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life.” [Rev.2 v.10]      Let us hold fast to our integrity – and “receive the crown of life” – not being distracted by present adversity or adversaries.

As believers in Christ we should all desire a closer relationship with the Lord, and to grow spiritually. But sadly many of us can look back over the years and see that there's been little to no growth, or maybe we've even gone backwards. And quite often that can be traced back to no longer being in fellowship with other believers! The Lord knows we need each other, and that's a big reason why we need to make going to church a top priority in these last days. Today on a Daily Walk we return to John Randall's series from Hebrews. We're in chapter ten. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

If you were granted access to the President of the United States, or your favorite athlete or movie star... you'd most likely be very excited and realize what a great honor that is. But think of this… if you're a Christian… you have complete access to the God of the Universe. Now that's amazing. It doesn't get any better than that. Today on a Daily Walk mull that over with us as we get back into Hebrews. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Message from Kirk Martin on November 30, 2025

Every generation needs courage to hold what holds us. We've been learning that the God-breathed Word is not one more book in the stack but the compass for life. Today we're invited to begin as beginners—opening the Bible, thinking, and praying so truth can shape our loves, steady our steps, and train us for every good work. When the winds rise and voices multiply, we don't drift. We hold fast to what is enough.

Paul's final letter to Timothy carries the weight of a dying man's words. Every line is meant to strengthen the next generation. From a cold prison cell, he writes to his spiritual son— urging him to stand firm when others fall away, to remember the faith handed down through his mother, his grandmother, and through their years of shared ministry. The world around them is unraveling, yet Paul's call remains steady and timeless. When trials come and truth is tested, don't let go.

Mama, have you ever wondered what to do with the Words of God that jump out to you from the Bible? Join us today! Join us on the podcast for day 20 of our BRAND NEW 30-day audio devotional: Living a Lifestyle of Prayer. This plan was lovingly created by the team at Help Club for Moms: moms just like you, with a heart for Jesus and for moms. Each devotional was prayerfully written to lead you into the heart of God for prayer, a journey that will strengthen you as a mom and draw you closer to Jesus.

When Christ died for us, he did not buy the freedom from having to hold fast, but the enabling power to hold fast.

As Joshua gives his farewell address, he has several important things he wants the next generation to know and follow. They are essential for us as well. From Joshua 23.

In this message, Trent unpacks 1 Thessalonians 2 and paints a vivid picture of the Christian life as a life of ministry. He shows how Paul, Silas, and Timothy model boldness, sincerity, sacrifice, and deep love, revealing that every believer is called to give themselves away for the sake of the gospel. Ultimately, he reminds us that we persevere not by holding tighter to our own strength, but by giving our lives fully to God, who empowers us to “hold fast” to the end. 

Our history defines us. This is a common idea with a great deal of truth to it. But as a believer living this way, are we overlooking a far more powerful defining force, found when we look the other direction, toward the future? We'll explore this question today.

This week Joey kicked off a new series in 1 Thessalonians called “Hold Fast.” In this message, we learned how the Thessalonian church was young, small, pressured, and yet deeply faithful… and how Paul calls them to hold fast by rooting their endurance in the hope of Jesus' future return. We explored how our hope determines our resilience, and how what we cling to shapes the way we live.

Because Christ has triumphed in the cross, no one can judge Christians based on those things that Jesus has fulfilled. The Old Testament regulations concerning food and drink and Sabbaths are a shadow of the body of Christ who has now been revealed. Although false preachers peddle practices that may look religious, any worship or piety that does not teach us to cling to Christ has no value. Only Christ, the Head of the Church, can hold His body together and cause it to grow and bear fruit.  Rev. Ryan Ogrodowicz, pastor at Grace Lutheran Church and School in Brenham, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Colossians 2:16-23.  To learn more about Grace Lutheran, visit gracebrenham.org. “Letters from Prison” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Even when Paul was imprisoned for the sake of Christ, the Word of God remained unbound. The apostle's letters from prison still fill us with the same joy that his chains could never silence. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Revelation 3:7-13 ESV To the Church in Philadelphia7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.8 “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. 12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' For more information about Redeemer Church Lubbock visit our website at redeemerlubbock.org.

In the midst of the crisis in society and the Church, we look for clarity and stability. This is especially true when there is a crisis of authority in the Church. But we know that all authority comes from God, which He handed onto the Apostles as the first bishops who then passed it down in succession to this very day. This is why we must pray that they, like us, hold fast to the Faith of the Church, even if there we many temptations today to deviate from it.

Joined on this episode by the one and only Brendon McDonough and holy smokes...this episode was powerful!!!! We start by discussing the new leg of his journey as he is about to complete his first year as a Firefighter. From there we start moving into his journey and all that he has gone through and it is powerful! We plan to discuss the power that love, servant leadership, perseverance and passion played in it. Of course the Scrap is always driven by the phenomenal questions of the live audience... and this was no exception.   Donut crushes it and it is well worth the listen!!!
