Job 40:1-42:17, 2 Cor 5:11-21, Ps 45:1-17, Pr 22:14

Father talks about the many ways to be in the Holy Spirit.

Spirit of God E7 — So far in this series, we've seen a pattern develop where God gives an extra measure of his ruakh to some leaders in Israel. God's Spirit then empowers these leaders to guide the people, mediate God's covenant, and speak God's words. This is what Israel's prophets are looking forward to: a future prophet-priest-king who will not only restore Israel, but all of creation. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Isaiah and Ezekiel to discover the Spirit of God's role in anointing the future anointed messiah, as well as a whole renewed humanity.

She describes how God used seemingly disconnected seasons of her life—writing, healing, television, and filmmaking—“line upon line, precept upon precept” to prepare her for what came next. TS and Julie also explore the importance of waiting on God, recognizing His voice, obeying even when His direction seems unusual, and understanding that the ultimate purpose of the believer's life is to glorify God.In this episode, discover:Why saying yes to God can lead to an extraordinary life of faith.How painful seasons can become part of God's healing process.Why waiting is often an essential part of obedience.How Julie's personal testimony became On Earth as It Is in Heaven.Why aspiring Christian authors should begin writing when they sense God calling them.How small beginnings can prepare believers for much larger assignments.Why increasing obedience strengthens faith and prepares us for greater responsibility.How our individual stories can ultimately point people back to Jesus Christ.Julie closes with a powerful encouragement: do not despise small beginnings.

Our Vision as a church is to echo the prophet Habakuk and "see the fame and deeds of God renewed and known in our time." To this end, our mission is to see lost New Yorkers, far from God, be transformed into compelling missional disciples. We believe this happens in three shifts: we want to see people go from Gospel resistance to experiencing the tangible presence of God, from a selfish orientation to pursuing counter formation in the way of Jesus, and from worldly ambition to living on sacrificial mission with the Holy Spirit. Rather than holding an emphasis in one of these areas, we believe that it is the intersection of these three things that creates a compelling disciple of Jesus.

In “I Got the Power,” Pastor Chad Veach concludes the freedom series by teaching that believers cannot live free through their own strength—they need the power of the Holy Spirit. Freedom is received, learned, and fought for, but the ability to stay free comes from God. Drawing from Acts 1, Pastor Chad explains that Jesus told His disciples not to begin their mission until they had received the Holy Spirit's power. The Holy Spirit is not an optional part of following Jesus; He is essential for overcoming the addictions, unforgiveness, lust, greed, comparison, and other chains that try to pull us back into bondage. Pastor Chad describes this relationship in two ways: “The Holy Spirit is in me for me” and “The Holy Spirit is on me for others.” Within us, the Holy Spirit teaches, guides, comforts, convicts, strengthens, transforms, and continually points us toward Jesus. Upon us, He gives spiritual gifts that enable us to serve and strengthen others. As Pastor Chad puts it, “The Holy Spirit is in me to form Jesus in me. He is on me so that Jesus flows from me.” Ultimately, freedom isn't meant to end with us. God sets us free for worship, relationship, and mission. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to take the freedom they've received into their everyday lives, allowing God to use ordinary conversations, relationships, workplaces, and unexpected encounters to reach others. The challenge is to surrender control and say, “Here I am, your servant. Use me as you see fit.” When we depend on the Holy Spirit, we don't simply experience freedom ourselves—we become people God can use to help others find freedom too.

Ezekiel 16-17

It's Monday, August 31st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Burmese military killed pastor and another believer The Burma Research Institute has confirmed that Rev. William, who used no last name, and another Chin Christian, Nam Ceu, were extrajudicially murdered on June 4th by the Burmese military dictatorship in Myanmar, reports International Christian Concern.  Rev. William had pastored the Chungcung Baptist Church in Chin State for more than 25 years. He was arrested with Ceu in May and had been detained by the military since then. Sources told the Burma Research Institute that Rev. William and Nam Ceu were killed for allegedly supporting the Hakha Chinland Defense Force, which is fighting against the Burmese military dictatorship. Psalm 116:15 says, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." Zo Tum Hmung, President of the Burma Research Institute, said, “We call the Trump administration to protect the persecuted Christians in Burma.” Send a polite, 4-sentence note to Kyaw Moe Tun, the Permanent Representative of Myanmar to the United Nations.  Address it to the Myanmar Delegation, 10 East 77th Street, New York, NY 10075. Democrat James Talarico: Muslims and Christians worship same God James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senator in Texas who is running against Republican Ken Paxton, the current Texas Attorney General, falsely claimed that Muslims worship the same God as Jews and Christians. Listen. TALARICO: “Christians and Muslims and Jews all worship the same God. Muslims love Jesus. They love Moses and Abraham. We are all branches on the same tree as the Abrahamic faiths.  “So. it's heartbreaking to watch extremists, whether they are Christian nationalists or whether they're the Taliban or al-Qaeda, perverting these beautiful traditions, that have so much in common, to attack others and consolidate their own power.” There are three primary differences between Christianity and Islam. First, regarding the nature of God, Christians teach that God is the Trinity—one God existing in three co-equal, co-eternal persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19) By contrast, Islam completely rejects the Trinity. Second, Christians believe that Jesus is the divine Son of God and God incarnate who physically died on the cross for the atonement of the sins of the elect and rose from the dead. (John 1:1,14) By contrast, while Islam reveres Jesus as a major, virgin-born prophet and messenger of God, it explicitly denies His divinity, crucifixion, and resurrection. And third, Christianity teaches that salvation is a free gift of grace received through personal faith in the finished sacrificial work of Jesus Christ, rather than by human effort. (Ephesians 2:8-9) By contrast, Islam teaches that salvation depends on total submission to Allah's will, adherence to the Five Pillars of Islam, and the final judgment of one's deeds. Therefore, Muslims and Christians clearly do not worship the same God. Georgia Democrat distanced himself from antisemitic leftist Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff has offered sharp criticism of President Donald Trump which generated buzz about Ossoff potentially running for president in 2028.   That, in turn, has attracted some left-wing figures who have lauded his messaging like left-wing streamer Hasan Piker, who told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in April that he was “intrigued” by Ossoff. There are two developments of note.  First, Ossoff, whose father is Jewish, is facing criticism from some of Georgia's local Jewish community over his votes to block certain arms sales to Israel. Second, Senator Ossoff has distanced himself from Hasan Piker over recent comments that many interpreted as justifying threats to American Jews,  reports the Jewish Telegraph Agency.   Speaking on a Twitch livestream on August 20th, Piker said this. PIKER: “If Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone's going to come around and take action. Not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews.” Last Thursday, according to Fox News, an Ossoff spokesman said that the senator “unreservedly rejects reckless and dangerous rhetoric suggesting that policy advocacy invites violence against the Jewish community or any community.” In Genesis 12:3, God said, “I will make [Israel] into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on Earth will be blessed through you.” Undercover video exposes GOP Sen. Murkowski on SAVE Act And finally, liberal Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska stood on the Senate floor and painted a grim picture of the supposed damage the SAVE America Act, or the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, would do in her home state.  This is the bill that would ensure that American citizens — and only American citizens — should decide American elections. It would simply require: A valid ID before registering to vote in a federal election. Proof of citizenship. No Mail-in Ballots (except for illness, disability, military, or travel). Listen to Senator Murkowski's claim. MURKOWSKI: “What we're talking about right now is just the registration to vote. So, you're in Unalaska -- say you're a fisherman or a teacher -- the flight to Anchorage, because this is where you're going to have to go -- you're going to have to go into Anchorage: 800 air miles, $1,100 per seat, if you can maybe get on a charter.” James O'Keefe, an undercover journalist with the O'Keefe Media Group and the Justice League, flew to Unalaska to find out firsthand if Senator Murkowski's claim was true. Listen to his analysis. O'KEEFE: “I'm James O'Keefe, and I'm in the middle of absolutely nowhere, about 800 miles off the coast of Alaska, on a remote island in the Aleutian Islands. “Now, Senator Lisa Murkowski says that one of the reasons she's not going to pass the SAVE Act is because of people that live here on this island of Unalaska.  “Senator Murkowski saying if the SAVE Act passes, online registration goes away, and the residents here, the few thousand people that live here, are going to have to fly 800 miles and spend thousands of dollars to go to Anchorage to take care of their business.  “But all the people we spoke with here, they all said that that's wrong, including the post office, the library, the city clerk, the DMV. We didn't know there was a DMV here. Everyone we spoke to here said they're able to register to vote here. They're able to prove citizenship by going to the library.  “So, Senator Murkowski says, ‘If you're a fisherman in Unalaska, the closest election office is 800 miles away; it would cost $1,500. You would also need a hotel, cabs, and food while in Anchorage. But the librarian just told us differently.” Here is the portion of the undercover investigation with a female undercover agent, who accompanied O'Keefe, to the library in Unalaska. UNDERCOVER FEMALE AGENT: “Just wanted to learn a little bit more about the process to get an ID. “ LIBRARIAN: “We do passports here.” UNDERCOVER AGENT: “Oh, you do passports here.” UNDERCOVER O'KEEFE: “Mmm.” UNDERCOVER FEMALE AGENT:  “That's good to know, though, that if somebody wants to confirm their citizenship, they can do it here.” UNDERCOVER O'KEEFE: “To get the Alaska ID, do you get it here or back in Anchorage?” LIBRARIAN: “Oh no, here. The DMV should be the near the police station.” UNDERCOVER O'KEEFE: “So, we don't have to go to Anchorage to get it.”  LIBRARIAN: “No, no, no. As long as you have all the paperwork you need.”  UNDERCOVER O'KEEFE: “But I read in the newspaper that the senator [Lisa Murkowski], said, ‘Oh, they're going to pass this SAVE Act, and everyone's got to go to Anchorage to get it.'” LIBRARIAN: “I don't think so.” UNDERCOVER O'KEEFE: “Oh no. Okay.” Proverbs 12:19 says, “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.” Call liberal Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski's office in DC, 24 hours a day/7 days a week, and ask the live operator to connect you to her voicemail, urging her to support the SAVE America Act. Her number is (202) 224-6665. Tell her that you reject her false claim that people in the Aleutian Islands have to travel 800 miles by air to register to vote in Anchorage. Plus, call your two Senators at 202-224-3121 and ask them to vote for the SAVE America Act as well. Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, August 31st, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Some days it feels like there's a ton of different voices in your head—each one saying something different. Which do we listen to? One says, "Do this," while another says, "No, stay here," and then guilt, fear, or another emotion gets added to the mix. In this episode, we're talking about where those competing thoughts and emotions can come from and how to make sense of them without automatically believing, obeying, or shutting them down. We'll look at the different parts of our inner experience, why emotions, predictions, beliefs, and needs aren't all the same thing, and how our past experiences can influence what feels loudest in the moment. Most importantly, we'll talk about what it looks like to bring all of those voices before the Holy Spirit, allowing them to be heard without allowing them to lead. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why It Can Feel Like You Have Conflicting Voices Inside [02:00] Understanding the Different Parts of Your Inner Experience [05:00] Emotions, Predictions, Beliefs + Needs Aren't All the Same [08:00] When Your Past Experiences Get Loud [10:00] Bringing Your Inner Noise to God Instead of Shutting It Down [14:00] Letting Every Voice Have a Seat—but Not the Head of the Table [17:00] Knowing What to Process With God + What to Bring to Someone Else [20:00] Taking Your Thoughts Captive Under the Authority of Christ RESOURCES: Emotional Confidence Club This month's Emotional Confidence Club topic goes deeper into how to make sense of the different voices inside, what to do when one voice gets especially loud, and how to discern what God may be asking you to do.

Because we have been raised to new life with Christ, the patterns of our old life no longer have to rule us. Pastor Shawn McGill highlights the call in Colossians 3 to put sin to death and shares three practical ways to confront it: expose it, starve it, and ask the Holy Spirit for help.If you've just made the decision for Christ, we want to celebrate with you! Let us know here!

Living a godly life in an ungodly world can be costly. Scripture makes it clear that believers should not be surprised when obedience to Christ brings rejection, ridicule, or resistance. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to Paul's warning in 2 Timothy and Jesus' words in John 15: those who belong to Christ will sometimes face opposition precisely because they no longer belong to the world. When Christians pursue purity, righteousness, and integrity, a culture walking in darkness may resent the light their lives represent. But God does not call His people to stand alone. The Holy Spirit gives believers power to withstand the pressures around them, while God's Word exposes lies and trains us in righteousness. Scripture teaches, corrects, rebukes, and equips us to live faithfully in every circumstance. The more deeply we immerse ourselves in God's Word, the more our hearts and minds become aligned with His will. Obedience becomes clearer. Discernment grows stronger. And standing for Truth becomes less about resisting the world through sheer willpower and more about walking closely with Christ. When pressure comes, stay rooted in Scripture and dependent on the Holy Spirit. God has given you everything you need to stand firm, walk in the light, and remain faithful to Him. Prayer: God, thank You for Your Spirit within me to guide me to respond to worldly thinking with Biblical wisdom. Thank You for Your Word that exposes the lies around me. Help me to stay in Your Word so that my heart and mind will be aligned with Yours. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

What does it look like to move from merely believing to truly receiving? As Pastor Adam teaches, salvation is just the beginning. In Believing is Receiving, based on Galatians 3, Pastor Adam looks at the gift every believer receives the moment they come to faith and the ongoing filling of the Holy Spirit that Scripture calls us toward next.

Friends of the Rosary,In the Gospel today (Luke 4:16-30), Jesus, while facing resistance from his own townspeople, announces His mission: good news to the poor, freedom to captives, sight to the blind, and liberty for the oppressed.We are invited to receive Jesus as He truly comes, not only as we expect Him to come. God's word may challenge familiar ideas, but it also brings freedom, healing, and truth.Meanwhile, Saint Paul, in the first reading (1 Corinthians 2:1-5) reminds us that faith does not rest on clever words or human wisdom, but on the power of God. The Psalm teaches love for God's commands, not as a burden, but as wisdom and guidance.As a prayer for today, we ask Lord Jesus to open our hearts to His word. Help us trust not in human wisdom, but in His power. Give us humility to receive Him, courage to follow Him, and love for His commands.Also today, the Roman Martyrology commemorates Saints Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, who showed courage and devotion to Christ after His death.Joseph, a "noble counselor" and disciple of the Lord, awaiting the kingdom of God, went to Pilate to ask for Jesus' body. Nicodemus, who once came to Christ secretly, now came openly, bringing myrrh and aloes. He was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, which was the ruling body of the Jews. He came to Jesus at night asking questions about his mission. In the presence of the Sanhedrin, who wanted to seize Jesus, Nicodemus defended his cause. They are mentioned in the Gospels.They received the dead body of Jesus, deposited from the cross, wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a tomb owned by Joseph. Together, they offered Christ a dignified burial, acting out of love when others had withdrawn in fear. Their actions, though simple in appearance, were precious before God and became part of the path to the Resurrection.Their example teaches that love for Christ must move us to act with courage and faith, even when it is difficult or uncertain. Like them, we are called to bring what we have to Christ and serve Him with humility, trusting that He receives every offering and fills it with His grace.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to worship God using a secular song, or if only Christian music can be used for prayer? This week, Alana and Jaime pay a heartfelt tribute to the late, great Dolly Parton, diving into a thought-provoking conversation on how to find the Holy Spirit in unexpected places—and how everyday music can become a powerful template for worship. In this episode, Alana and Jaime tackle the artificial divide between "sacred" and "secular" media that many Christians grew up with. They unpack the idea that if a song isn't promoting sin, it has the potential to draw us closer to the Lord, because we are called to do everything for His glory. They explain why taking pleasure in the beautiful, ordinary aspects of the human experience honors God's design for creativity, and why songs about family, unity, and love are deeply biblical. Jaime reflects on the spiritual themes in Dolly's "Coat of Many Colors" and shares a touching story about a crocheted prayer shawl given to her stepmom, highlighting how we can infuse our everyday actions with love and prayer. Alana then walks step-by-step through her personal method of using a physical Bible concordance to turn the lyrics of Dolly's "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" into an interactive, spiritually enriching journey through Scripture. You’ll walk away with a fresh appreciation for Dolly's beautiful legacy, a reminder of the incredible freedom we have to find God in all things, and practical wisdom on how to make everything—even a catchy tune—a springboard for prayer.

I Thessalonians 5:19-22 – Partner with the Holy Spirit

What does it really mean to live wisely in a world that defines wisdom by power, status and success? The Apostle Paul points us back to the surprising wisdom of the cross—where true strength is found in Christ, service and sacrifice, and the Holy Spirit gives us wisdom for how to live it out.

Angry? Pray. Confused? Pray. Doubting? Pray. Ready to give up? Pray. Because the prayer you're not proud of is better than the one you won't pray.

MAKE BETTER DECISIONS | Bishop S.Y. YoungerYour decisions have destinations.In this powerful and heavily prophetic message, Bishop S.Y. Younger teaches from Genesis 13:11–12, using the story of Lot to reveal how the decisions we make today can determine where we find ourselves tomorrow.God never intended for us to navigate life using our own wisdom alone. Through the Holy Spirit, we have access to the discernment, wisdom, and direction needed to make better decisions in our everyday lives.Just because it looks good doesn't mean it's God.Just because you can choose it doesn't mean you should.Let the Holy Spirit lead you.

Pastor Jordan Boyce is preaching on Discerning Right Decisions.

Original Airdate: August 30, 2020 Jeremiah 20:7-9 | Romans 12:1-2 | Matthew 16:21-27 Opening Prayer God of might, giver of every good gift, pour into our hearts the love of your name so that by deepening our sense of reverence and thy watchful care keep safe what you have nurtured.  Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever, amen. Closing Prayer Father, your gifts are beyond our imagining.  The longing in your heart for us to find fullness and light in this world is crucial for us to know and to experience in order to know who you are and why you're in our life and what you want from us, not something that takes life away from us but that enables us to find it.  So bless us with open hearts, open minds.  Let us be good disciples, good learners, good listeners, and we ask this in Jesus' name, amen.

Vision Series: Theological IntegrationAugust 30, 2026 • RD McClenagan • Romans 12:2In the fourth week of our vision series God Has More, RD McClenagan introduces Fellowship's value of theological integration—the conviction that what we believe about God should shape how we think, feel, and live. Because everyone has beliefs about God that influence their lives, mature discipleship requires holding together sound doctrine, transformed affections, and faithful action rather than separating what we know from how we live. Drawing from Paul's instruction to Timothy to watch both his life and doctrine closely, RD encourages believers to spend time prayerfully reflecting on God's Word and depending on the Holy Spirit so that truth moves beyond information and becomes deeply rooted in the heart. True theological integration means allowing what we know to be true about God to shape our everyday responses while embracing the whole counsel of God rather than emphasizing only the parts of the Christian life we naturally gravitate toward. Ultimately, growing in theology should lead us toward greater humility, love for God and neighbor, the fruit of the Spirit, worship, and increasing Christlikeness as our lives become more consistent with the truths we profess.GOD HAS MORE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRUh2XoKC-RcWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

A balloon will continually expand when you fill it with more and more air. The Christian who is filled with the Holy Spirit will be able to experience a life of God's continually expanding love. In the measure that God fills our hearts, He will be revealed in our every outward motion because He is in all of our inward thinking.

Prayer is more than asking God for help—it changes us, strengthens us, and invites the power of God into impossible situations. In the final message of the God Encounters series, we look at Acts 4 and discover what happened when the early church prayed in the middle of opposition. The place was shaken, believers were filled with the Holy Spirit, boldness was released, and the church was united in heart and purpose. This message is a powerful reminder that prayer still matters. When God's people pray, God moves—and everything changes.

Neil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchThe Forgotten Word of ChristianityMatthew 11:20-241. Repentance is the first word of the Gospel• Repentance is an inward conviction, produced by the Holy Spirit, that demonstrates itself inoutward action.• Matthew 4:17Why is repentance so important...a) the Gospel requires it• Acts 2:37-38b) it is necessary for forgiveness• Luke 24:45-47c) it is evidence of true conversion• Matthew 3:1, 7-8d) It involves turning from and turning to• Acts 26:19-202.

Why do you think Jesus, John the Baptist and the Gospel make such a big deal out ofrepentance?2. Is there anything you keep apologizing for that you actually need to repent of and from?3. Do you see your sin more as an expression of your badness or an offense to God'sgoodness?4. Do you think more about your sin or the fact that you are righteous?5.

When Jesus chose Saint Peter to be the first of many Popes of the Catholic Church, He knew that he was choosing a faithful, but fallible, human being to work in harmony with the Holy Spirit in leading the divinely instituted Universal Church. Nearly 2000 years later, the gates of Hell have still not prevailed against it.

"The ego analyzes; the Holy Spirit accepts. ²The appreciation of wholeness comes only through acceptance, for to analyze means to break down or to separate out. ³The attempt to understand totality by breaking it down is clearly the characteristically contradictory approach of the ego to everything. ⁴The ego believes that power, understanding and truth lie in separation, and to establish this belief it must attack. ⁵Unaware that the belief cannot be established, and obsessed with the conviction that separation is salvation, the ego attacks everything it perceives by breaking it into small, disconnected parts, without meaningful relationships and therefore without meaning. ⁶The ego will always substitute chaos for meaning, for if separation is salvation, harmony is threat."

Friends of the Rosary,In today's Gospel, from Matthew 16:21-27, we learn that because sin entered into the world before the Incarnation took place, the Son of God in his human nature had to suffer the violent death of the cross at the hands of sinners."Jesus began to show his disciplesthat he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatlyfrom the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,and be killed and on the third day be raised."From all eternity, this was God's plan for mankind. Jesus came to die in the Cross. In this very suffering, the Lord became the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world, as the Second Isaiah had foretold in his "suffering servant" prophecies (Is. 53: 1-7; 42: 1-9, etc).His death, because he was God as well as man, was a sacrifice, an atonement, to obtain forgiveness from the Father for all the sins of the human race.In today's reading, we see how Christ intends to prepare his disciples and other followers for what he knew would be a severe crisis of faith for them.He also told them — and through them, all of us — what their attitude to suffering and death should be."Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,take up his cross, and follow me.For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon revisits Jesus' two greatest commandments—love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself—explaining they are commands rooted in love and relationship because God's very essence is loving relationship within the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He connects this to the church's updated core value “Only One Truth,” teaching that the Bible is the fixed benchmark of objective truth that cannot shift with culture, opinions, or trends, contrasting it with “progressive” or subjective truth and warning that moving the benchmark leads to instability like building on shifting sand. Citing multiple scriptures, he urges listeners to believe and live God's Word, forgive others, and choose Jesus as the only way to the Father, ending with an invitation to pray for salvation or return to God.

Join Pastor Landen Bosman for part 13 of our Summer Rocks series, "Joyful Living"

Acts 19 reminds us that spiritual warfare is real. Satan and demons are actively working to deceive, tempt, and draw people away from God, but followers of Jesus do not need to live afraid. Jesus has already defeated the enemy, and through Christ we have everything we need to stand firm. The invitation is to live awake to the enemy's schemes, confident in Jesus's authority, and dependent on prayer, God's Word, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Andy Cass Are you a person of peace? We all want peace, but wanting peace and becoming a peaceful person are two different things. TEXT: Philippians 4:7, Galatians 5:22–23, Acts 7:54–60, Daniel 3:16–25, Hebrews 13:5, Luke 10:3–9, Matthew 5:38–45 NOTES: Pitstop #1 — The Peace of God // Peace is fruit. It isn't something we manufacture or earn. It's something the Holy Spirit produces within us. Pitstop #2 — Peace That Transcends Understanding // God's peace isn't limited to peaceful circumstances. Peace in prison. Peace in suffering. Peace in the fire. Peace in everyday pressure. Pitstop #3 — Peace Will Guard You // Where there is fruit, there is a tree. If you want peace, plant yourself where peace grows and stay there long enough for God to form you into a person of peace. THE PROBLEM- We all want peace, but we have not adopted the practices of a peaceful person. THE PLAN- Peace is a community garden project. PLANT yourself around people of peace. PRUNE what God reveals needs to change. PRODUCE + PROTECT what God is growing in you. BIG IDEA- Be grafted TODAY where you want to PRODUCE TOMORROW. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Building God's Way According to Ezra & Nehemiah, Pt. 3God Has a PriorityEzra 3:1-13 | King's Chapel Live StreamAs God's people return to Jerusalem in Ezra 3, they have a lot to rebuild. But before they rebuild the temple, they build an altar.Why?Because God's priority is His worship and His glory.In this message from *Building God's Way According to Ezra & Nehemiah*, we see how Ezra 3 points us to a greater reality: worship isn't something we fit into our lives after everything else is taken care of. God Himself is our priority.The altar points us to the sacrifice God provided through Jesus. The temple points us to God's desire to dwell with His people, ultimately fulfilled through Christ and the Holy Spirit. And the joyful shouts and weeping of God's people remind us that our worship exists in the tension of the "now and not yet," as we look forward to the day when God will dwell with His people forever.If we're going to build our lives, our church, and our community God's way, we have to begin with what matters most: **God's glory and our worship of Him.**Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEzra 3 sermon, Ezra 3, Building God's Way, God has a priority, worship comes first, worship sermon, God's glory, Ezra and Nehemiah sermon series, Christian worship, Jesus sacrifice, Holy Spirit temple, God's presence, King's Chapel Longwood
