Sunday, August 3rd 2025 Holding Fast to The Head Colossians 2:16-23

Rev. Patrick Donohue

Tim and Mary come bearing headlines for another round of news and commentary. Today we discuss persecution in America, as anti-Christian rhetoric ramps up in diverse places. Last week we chatted with Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs to learn about our church family overseas; today we talk about perils in the US - and opportunities to stand firm for the faith. We also look at the latest with the IRS statement allowing pulpits to promote political candidates. Good, bad, ugly? Freedom of speech is always good, and just because it comes from the side of those who preach morals and are pro-life, doesn't make it less valuable. In fact, the world needs more words of value spoken by God's people on many subjects. But, we also have people in pews who think differently about politics and candidates. Is this a breeding ground for divisiveness, and what about those who really don't come to church to hear about politics on any level? Just askin'. We also talk about the 2-state solution and hostility against Jews. Did we really think we would be left out of that danger zone, where our Jewish brethren are suffering for their beliefs but not the church?

This Father's Day, we reflect on the steadfast love of our Heavenly Father through the powerful words of Hebrews 6:13–20. In a world full of shifting values and broken promises, God's word stands unshakable. His promises are sure, His character unchanging, and His hope an anchor for our souls.In this message, we explore how God's covenant with Abraham points us to Jesus, who is our forerunner, our High Priest, and our eternal hope. Whether you're a father, had a godly father, or carry wounds from an absent one, this sermon reminds us that we are anchored by the faithful love of God.

Pastor Kevin continues our series "Power in Weakness" with a sermon from 2 Corinthians 11:1-15.

As conversations around sexuality and gender identity dominate today's culture, Christian parents face a daunting challenge: how do we love our daughters unconditionally while holding fast to Biblical truth? With the world telling girls that identity is self-defined and ever-changing, it's more important than ever to guide them back to the unchanging truth of God's Word.    In this powerful episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay (Founder & Executive Director Emeritus, American Heritage Girls) is joined by Melinda Patrick—Director of Parent Support for His Wonderful Works, podcast host of The Bridge Between Us, and author of The Daring Rescue. Drawing from her own family's journey, Melinda offers practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement for parents navigating conversations around LGBTQ identity with grace, compassion, and unwavering faith.    Together, Patti and Melinda dive into the pressing issues facing Gen Z girls today—and Gen Alpha girls to follow—from cultural pressures during Pride Month to the influence of social media and shifting moral standards. They explore how to communicate Biblical values without compromising love, why intercessory prayer is vital, and how parents can overcome feelings of shame, fear, or confusion when their child's beliefs clash with their faith upbringing.    This episode also unpacks Melinda's three key principles for loving your daughter while standing firm in truth: engaging with God, embracing your God-given role as a parent, and trusting in the spiritual equipping God provides. Melinda reminds listeners that God never calls us into battle unprepared—and that victory lies in co-laboring with Him.    Whether you're a Christian parent walking through these sensitive conversations now or preparing for the future, this episode will equip you with Biblical wisdom, compassionate strategies, and the encouragement to lead your daughter in truth and love.    Learn more about Melinda's ministry, resources, and podcast at melindapatrick.org.    Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org        Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com 

In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Jason Dunn explores Hebrews 10:19–25, a pivotal passage that transitions from the theological foundations of Christ's priesthood to practical exhortations for the church. Through the imagery of a train journey shared with his twin brother, Pastor Jason illustrates how many of us feel spiritually hesitant—bound by conscience, shame, or fear. Yet, Hebrews reminds us that we have confident access to God through the blood of Jesus and a faithful advocate in Christ.The sermon unfolds around three central imperatives: draw near, hold fast, and stir up. Believers are invited to approach God with assurance because Christ has cleansed their hearts and secured their access. In holding fast to our confession of hope, we are reminded that our endurance does not rest on our strength, but on God's faithfulness. And finally, we are exhorted to stir up one another toward love and good works—something that only happens in the context of regular, intentional Christian community. Pastor Jason closes with a vision of the church as a place of encouragement, a relational home that combats the isolation and spiritual drift of the modern "de-churched" world, and he calls the congregation to reengage in relationships that reflect the love and advocacy of Jesus.

Scripture Reference: Hebrews 4:14-16 Sermon Points: Holding Fast Drawing Near

Pastor Scott Ardavanis preaches a sermon from Titus 1 verse 9 on holding fast to the trustworthy Word of God.

Philippians 4:6 reminds us to, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Now, this verse is not saying that you won’t worry, or even that worry is a sin. However, it’s a reminder to us that in our moments of worry, fear, and anxiety, we have the opportunity to substitute those things when we humbly and quickly present those very things before the Lord instead of dwelling on them. Because, when you turn your worry into worship, God will turn your battles into blessings. Joining us today to dive deeper into his own personal testimony and ways in which he has managed and overcome anxiety of his own is a dear friend and familiar face and voice on the podcast, Grant Troutt. Grant is a well known speaker, young adult pastor, and truly a dispensor of hope! And today he wants to remind you that in the midst of the challenge you may find yourself in today to continually pray for God to not deliver you until He has fully developed you!

Pastor of Formation & Mission Benjamin Kandt continues our sermon series on Hebrews, preaching from Hebrews 4:14-5:10, emphasizing two main commands: "hold fast" and "draw near." He highlights that believers facing trials and cultural pressures should firmly hold onto their confession of faith, openly affirming Jesus as their Savior, even when it's difficult. Jesus, as our "great high priest," uniquely qualifies for this role because He is sinless, fully human, and has personally experienced trials and temptations. Jesus learned obedience through suffering, showing believers how to faithfully endure their own hardships by trusting, honestly expressing their desires, and ultimately surrendering their will to God.Furthermore, believers are invited to confidently "draw near" to God, trusting Jesus' sympathy and gentleness toward human weakness. Unlike humans who often respond harshly or critically, Jesus responds with compassion. This gentle, sympathetic posture invites Christians to approach God's "throne of grace" freely, expecting mercy and timely help in their moments of need.

In this powerful sermon, we continue exploring what it truly means to live in the freedom Christ offers. Rooted in Colossians 2:16-23, this message challenges us to reject legalism, mysticism, and worldly philosophies that distract from the sufficiency of Christ. Key Themes:✨ Freedom in Christ – Breaking free from man-made religious rules and embracing grace.

Rev. Dr. Jason HaysExecutive Minister

In this message, we explore the theme "I Pledge Allegiance to the Word," emphasizing the importance of not just hearing God's Word but truly living it out. Drawing from James 1:21-25, we're reminded to create a humble, distraction-free environment where the Word can transform us. Using the analogy of glancing versus gazing into a mirror, we learn the value of deeply engaging with Scripture to reveal our true selves and guide our spiritual growth. Despite opposition from the enemy, we are called to hold fast to God's promises, such as His promise of rest — a spiritual peace available to all who walk in faith and obedience. Join us on this journey of surrender and alignment with God's Word for lasting transformation.

Bible Study Fellowship - Magnifying God and Maturing His People. (bsfinternational.org) There is the link above to the bible study I mention!  Jesus's promises are ultimately for eternity but we are called to hold fast to our faith here on earth until the end. We can persevere and hold true to His word as a Christian woman and it can reflect in our small business and journey through entrepreneurship.  It is important to not compromise with false teachings or get complacent.  God's light shines through you in your email marketing, social media content, podcast episodes, and customer service, whether you intend it to or not.  But, we SHOULD be intentional! Not in a try-harder-to-prove-yourself-worthy kind of way but in a way that naturally flows from the Holy Spirit. This natural flow comes when you are intentionally following Jesus every day in your life and business.  If you need help persevering,focusing on Christ, and finding your identity in Him, not wealth, schedule your 60 minute 1:1 coaching call today, I can't wait to chat...
