Your body is not ordinary. It is God's temple. In this message, Art Bastes reminds us that the Holy Spirit dwells within believers, making our bodies sacred. Because we were bought with a price, we are called to steward our health, choices, and habits in a way that honors Christ. Through Scripture and personal testimony, we're challenged to stop neglecting what God calls holy and to live with intentionality, self control, and reverence. Blot out what defiles. Build what strengthens. Do it all for the glory of God.
It’s easy to think of “creation care” as optional—important, maybe, but not especially spiritual. This devotional challenges that assumption by reminding us that God’s relationship with humanity has always included stewardship of the world He made. In Genesis, God plants a garden and places humankind there with a clear purpose: to work it and take care of it. That means creation care isn’t a modern trend—it’s part of our original calling. The devotional begins with a striking, everyday example: artificial light can disorient migrating birds, drawing them off course and increasing the risk of collisions and exhaustion. Small choices we barely notice—turning on outdoor lights, decorating with strings of bulbs—can have real impact on the creatures around us. And on a broader scale, issues like pollution, deforestation, habitat loss, and harmful pesticides remind us that creation is groaning under the weight of sin and brokenness. Romans 8 describes nature’s longing for renewal, tied to God’s ultimate restoration of all things. The key shift the devotional emphasizes is this: dominion is not permission to destroy. God’s authority is marked by justice, mercy, and faithful care, and because we are made in His image, our leadership over creation should reflect His character. Everything belongs to God—“the earth is the Lord’s”—so our stewardship becomes a form of worship. The way we treat the environment is connected to the way we honor the Creator. While we may not control large systems or global decisions, we do have influence in our daily lives. The devotional offers practical examples of faithful stewardship: reducing nighttime light exposure, making windows safer for birds, planting trees, creating pesticide-free pollinator gardens, treating animals well, and picking up litter. These aren’t small, meaningless actions—they are tangible ways to imitate God’s compassion and justice. And they can become reminders of hope: God has broken sin’s curse through Christ and promises a future renewal for creation and for us. Main Takeaways Creation care is a biblical calling rooted in God’s original design for humanity. Everyday choices can affect the environment and the creatures around us more than we realize. Dominion is meant to reflect God’s character—leadership marked by mercy, justice, and care. Stewardship is worship: the earth belongs to God, so how we treat it honors Him. Practical, local actions matter and point us toward hope in God’s future renewal. Today’s Bible Verse “Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil … The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” - Genesis 2:8-9, 15, NIV Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me to [steward] in a way that glorifies You… May I… care for [creation] as an extension of my love for You.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

Honoring God When Life Hurts: Why He Doesn't Waste Your Pain If God is good… why does obedience still hurt? Why do faithful Christians suffer cancer, loss, miscarriage, and heartbreak? In this episode I'm speaking with Clay Jones and Jean E. Jones about how Christians can glorify God in the worst of times. We're not offering easy answers or shallow promises. We're talking honestly about suffering—what Scripture actually says, what the church often gets wrong, and how God uses pain not to destroy faith, but to refine it. Drawing from their personal struggles, we'll explore how Christians can honor God even when it hurts—and why your suffering is never wasted in God's hands.

Listen to this week's sermon, Vision: Honoring God with our Wealth preached by our Pastor of Environments Rev. Justin Grimm from Proverbs 1:7, 3:9-10, 13-15.
1 Corinthians 11:2-16 is not about hair styles, but a call for men redeemed in Christ to be Biblical Men and women redeemed in Christ to be Biblical Women.
Neglecting one area of our lives often leads to struggle in others. We can easily forget that we are a whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and that health in each area matters. This teaching encourages us to steward our physical health, emotional well-being, and spiritual disciplines with wisdom and balance. Honoring God means giving thoughtful attention to every part of who He has created us to be. Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

1 Peter 3:1-7 calls husbands and wives to reflect the gospel through humility, honor, and faithfulness in marriage. Wives are encouraged to display Christlike character through respectful and pure conduct, trusting God to work through a gentle and steadfast faith. True beauty, Scripture reminds us, is not found in outward appearance but in a heart shaped by hope in God. Husbands are likewise called to live with understanding and honor toward their wives, recognizing them as equal heirs of God's grace. Together, marriage becomes a powerful witness to God's design and purposes.

God is faithful and He's a faithful steward. The revelation of God is released to those who steward truth. John 3:11-13 / Luke 16:10-13 / Matt 13:12 / 1Cor 4:1-2 / John 15:7-8 / John 5:19 / Ps 34:7 / Col 3:1 / 1John 5:14-15 / Matt 5:6 / James 4:12 / Rom 8:26 / Heb 5:14 / Amos 3:7
“All things were created through Him and for Him.” – Colossians 1:16In this timely and powerful New Year message, Pastor Casey launches our new series, “What We Do,” with a foundational teaching on what it means to truly honor God with our lives. In a culture shaped by expressive individualism—where we're taught to center everything around ourselves—this sermon calls us back to a Christ-centered life.Using Colossians 1:15-20, Pastor Casey unpacks the truth that we were not created to be the heroes of our own stories. We were made by Jesus and for Jesus. Honoring God isn't simply one part of our spiritual life—it is the very purpose of our existence.This message challenges us to evaluate whether Jesus is just another priority on our list, or the center of everything. You'll be invited to move from self-centered faith to a life marked by worship, obedience, and active participation in God's redemptive work in the world.Whether you're resetting your focus for a new year, or exploring what it means to follow Jesus more fully, this sermon will both convict and encourage you to lay down the pressure of self-definition and embrace the freedom of living for God's glory.Key themes in this message include:Why honoring God is more than a behavior—it's a lifestyle of alignmentHow self-focused faith leads to fragility and dissatisfactionThe difference between placing Jesus first and making Him the centerThree ways we honor God: through worship, obedience, and joining Him in missionHow to discern where God is already at work and how to respondThis is a message for anyone feeling spiritually scattered, overwhelmed by expectations, or hungry for deeper purpose and direction. It's an invitation to reframe life, not around your plans, but around God's greater story.We pray this message encourages you to begin 2026 not with resolutions, but with a reorientation toward Jesus as Lord, King, and Center.Watch, reflect, and respond.To learn more about Grace City Church or connect with our team, visit www.gracecityeugene.com#HonorGod #WhatWeDo #PastorCasey #GraceCityChurch #Colossians1 #FaithCenteredOnChrist #ChristianSermon #GospelMessage #JesusIsPreeminent #NewYearSermon #WorshipObedienceMission

01/01/2026 – David Mathis –honoring God with our bodies through exercise
Life is filled with endless choices, responsibilities, and opportunities—yet time remains limited. Whether you’re facing a full to-do list, standing at a crossroads, or simply longing for your days to feel purposeful, God invites you to seek His wisdom. James 1:5 assures us that when we ask God for guidance, He gives generously and without judgment. Honoring God with our time begins by going to Him first—listening, waiting, and trusting His direction. Even when clarity feels delayed, we can rest in the confidence that God is at work and will guide each step as we surrender our plans to Him. Main Takeaways You’ll learn why discerning how to spend your time begins with seeking God’s wisdom. Discover how waiting on God can sometimes be the most faithful response. Understand why uncertainty doesn’t mean failure, but often invites deeper trust. Reflect on how God works through both action and stillness to accomplish His will. Be encouraged that when you are in Christ, God redeems and guides every moment. Bible Verse References James 1:5 – https://www.biblestudytools.com/james/1-5.html Romans 8:28 (referenced conceptually) – https://www.biblestudytools.com/romans/8-28.html Your Daily Prayer Dear Lord, You are sovereign over my time, my choices, and my days. Teach me to seek Your wisdom daily and surrender my plans to You. When I feel uncertain, help me wait patiently and trust that You are working even in the silence. Guide my steps, shape my decisions, and use every moment of my life for Your glory. Thank You for promising to lead me with generosity and grace.In Jesus’ name, Amen. Want More?

Don Cox joins us this morning from the roastery. Securing coffee has continued to be a new challenge as small roasters navigate the global arena now shaped by tariffs. Coffee roasting is an art that demands focus, skill and selection of the best possible beans. Sadly we are entering into a time with the increasing influence if Ai and convenience that mastering a craft is increasingly rare. The gifts God gives us need to be nurtured, pushing ourselves higher and farther than we think we can go. Honoring God in all things. That is the root that is being destroyed in the emerging culture.

Christians are often told to tithe, but many often wonder, is tithing really commanded for Christians? Or is it an Old Testament ordinance that passed away with the ceremonial law.Before we talk about whether the tithe is biblical, it is important to understand something. God doesn't need our money. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He can provide whatever is needed, so we need to start with the idea that God had another purpose for His people to give.

How To Be A Good Steward Of Your Money | Honoring God & Honoring Yourself | Wide Open #153
By Ken Loucks - This message tackles one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: How do we honor God when Scripture doesn't give a direct command? Many believers sincerely want to please God, yet face decisions where there is no clear “thou shalt” or “thou shalt not.” This sermon shows how mature
Get on the TSC waitlist: www.thestrongerco.com Free Christian Fitness Hub: hub.simplefitnesshabits.com Have you ever asked ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google: “Why am I not losing weight even though I work out?” “Best Christian fitness program for women?” “How do I get strong without burning out?” If so, this episode is your answer. Shaela Daugherty shares the raw, faith-filled truth behind why so many Christian women keep spinning their wheels—working hard but never seeing the results they long for. You'll hear how frustration turns to freedom when you stop just working out and start training for the life God has called you to. Inside The Stronger Collective, women are breaking the cycle of diet culture, confusion, and inconsistency. They're losing weight, building strength, and most importantly — finding joy and purpose in their fitness again. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why motivation isn't your problem — clarity is. The difference between “working out” and “training with purpose.” How to build consistency through community and accountability. Why faith must be the foundation of any long-term health change. Real stories from TSC members who lost 20 pounds, built confidence, and found peace. How to honor God with your body without falling into obsession or perfectionism. Episode Summary So many Christian women love Jesus deeply but feel stuck in bodies they don't recognize. They've tried macros, meal plans, gym programs — yet still feel tired and defeated. Shaela paints a story that feels familiar: standing in your closet on a Sunday morning, trying on outfits that don't fit, pulling on a sweater to hide the parts you wish would change. But this time, the story doesn't end in shame — it ends in freedom. Through faith-anchored training, you learn how to see your body as a vessel for God's work, not a project to fix. Inside TSC, you get structure, community, and spiritual guidance that quiet the chaos of “fitness noise.” It's where clarity meets calling. Shaela explains how real women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are finally seeing results that stick — losing weight with peace instead of punishment, and gaining strength to serve their families well. “You don't need to work harder — you need to work smarter and train with intention.” “Faith isn't an excuse for inaction — it's the power behind consistency.” “When you quiet the chaos and train from a place of peace, your results finally last.” Why This Episode Matters You've Googled the plans, downloaded the freebies, and even asked AI for help — but you're still stuck. This episode shows you why information alone isn't enough and how transformation requires spiritual alignment, structure, and community. For the woman who's ready to feel strong again — body, mind, and spirit — this conversation will speak directly to you.

Radical Generosity | Honoring God's House by Pastor Dan DeBell
She's Making an Impact | Online Marketing | Pinterest Marketing | Entrepreneur Tips
In this episode, we're diving into what it really means to steward our bodies well as Christian entrepreneurs. God's called us to lead, create, and serve — and that requires energy, focus, and strength. I'm sharing the practical things I do to take care of my health and fitness, from sleep and nutrition to movement and mindset. This isn't about perfection or diet culture — it's about honoring God with our bodies, keeping our energy high, and building habits that help us show up strong in business and in life. __________________________________________________________ Ready for more? Here are 3 ways we can help you: 1)
Proverbs 3:9-17 Our guest speaker this Sunday was Franco Salvatori, an Everence stewardship consultant. Due to flight cancellations he couldn't be with us in person, so he shared his message via Zoom. Consumerism is a unifying religion in America. It's the thing that makes you wish you just had more. But as Christ's followers we're called to worship only one God, and it's not consumption. It's easy to fill our lives with stuff, but still be empty. The path toward an overflowing life is through wisdom and generosity. Honoring God with our first fruits is the practice of recognizing God's hand in providing the resources that we have. God calls us to give of our first fruits not because God needs it, but because it actually changes us. It changes our hearts and helps us focus on the giver. As we practice that discipline it creates an attitude in us that Franco called wealth. If we've developed an action of giving and of generosity, because we are seeking wisdom and we're seeking God, then it's the exact opposite of consumerism. And Proverbs tells us that is the pathway to an overflowing life.
Honoring God's will isn't just about what we believe—it's about how we live. From our words and plans to our work and priorities, every part of life can point back to Him.
