Discover how God shows himself as both covenant maker and covenant keeper in Genesis 15. Pastor Mark unpacks Abraham's doubts, God's unbreakable promises, and how Christ fulfills the covenant once and for all. A message of grace, assurance, and hope in Christ alone.

Today we will be looking at some fascinating end times prophecies and how we are called to live out the reality of those prophecies practically. Gospel centered living is the goal of all last days or end times teaching, regardless of what one's particular position is on the timing of the Rapture and Second Coming of Jesus Christ.Let me be very clear that the timing of the Rapture is not a matter of one's salvation. However, while the goal of all end times teaching should be on gospel centered living and biblical stewardship of the gifts and talents that God has entrusted unto us, that does not mean that specific last days details of events as taught by Jesus in Matthew 24 and laid out before us this morning by the apostle Paul are unimportant or insignificant.My devotional today will be directed towards how belief in those prophetic realities are meant to be lived out practically. Paul, under the inspiration The Holy Spirit writes, "Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work." ( 2 Thess 2:16,17).The practical application of this chapter on prophecy is found in Paul's prayer for them. And what did he pray for them? That their hearts would be comforted, and that they would be established or fixed in every good word and work. God's love and grace for us through faith in Jesus Christ is the basis of our comfort and hope.Note once again that our comfort is an everlasting one, and our hope in Christ is good and is through the grace of God. As we throughout Scripture, every aspect of our salvation comes from the grace of God, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is Himself the Author and Finisher of our faith.Our loving heavenly Father, in His grace, gives us through Christ what we do not deserve; likewise, God in His mercy does not give us what we do deserve! This grace and mercy of God is meant to encourage our hearts and strengthen us in every good action and word. Do you see what God is telling us?The “correct interpretation” of end time prophetic teaching will be gospel centered, fruit bearing living for the glory of God. If our walk contradicts what the Scriptures teach about how we are called to live lives of holiness and purity in light of Christ imminent return, then it simply means that we have not understood the point to begin with!One way that we contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints is by putting it into practice. We are called to be both defenders and demonstrators of the faith. One commentator put it this way: Lazarus did not have to give lectures on the reality of the resurrection, his life proved that to be true.May both our words and our works be gospel centered manifestations of the reality of The Lordship of Jesus Christ in our lives and fellowship. SELAH

In this sermon, Pastor Chris Meads teaches on staying spiritually awake for Christ's return, using a hunting story to illustrate how believers can fall asleep and miss the moment. He outlines three ways to remain vigilant: staying watchful against sin, anchoring hope in Christ's promises, and actively participating in Kingdom work. The message challenges believers to model spiritual readiness for the next generation while living with urgency for Christ's unexpected return.

Welcome to the Motion Church podcast. Today, we arrive at the close of a journey—our final week in the series Signing Off. Each week, we've explored what it means to finish well: not just ending conversations, but completing seasons of life with grace, courage, and clarity. And now, in this last chapter, we lean into the ultimate question—what do we say when it's truly time to sign off? From everyday goodbyes to the weight of final words, we are reminded that endings are not just conclusions—they are opportunities to leave a legacy, to speak life, and to anchor hope in Christ. So lean in, open your heart, and let God speak through this moment of closing. Because while this may be a sign-off, it is also a reminder that in Him… every ending is the beginning of something eternal. This is Signing Off: Week Four.

Belonging, healing, and hope in Christ

Today, we are looking at Ephesians 1, and we're talking about the riches, the richesthat we have in Christ Jesus. I made the statement the other day that Isaac wasborn to wealth. Remember his father Abraham was called by God to leave Ur ofthe Chaldees and go to a land that God would show him. And God promised that Hewould bless him. He would make him a great nation. And in him all the nationsof the earth would be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3). And then God promised him a sonthrough whom this seed, this great nation would come. But it took a long time.And finally, Isaac was born. But by the time Isaac was born, Abraham, becauseof the blessings of God, was a wealthy, wealthy man. Isaac didn't do anything.If you read about him in the Old Testament, he was born to wealth.  Andmy friend, we've been born again to great riches in Christ Jesus. That's whatthe book of Ephesians is about. We see that especially in verses 2-6, becauseGod the Father, God the Father has chosen us. He has adopted us. He hasaccepted us in Christ. All these rich blessings are made possible with theFather in heaven. Before we were alienated from Him, but now we're reconciledto Him through Christ.  InEphesians 1:7-12, we see our riches we have from God the Son. In Him we havethe redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. And again, it'saccording to the “riches of His grace”. He has revealed to us His will.The mystery that's been hidden in the past ages but now revealed to us throughJesus Christ. And that is that He will bring everything together. That “inthe dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in oneall things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him”(v. 10). Wehave something to look forward to. The world has nothing to look forward toexcept another day possibly. And they don't even know that they are guaranteedthat. They have no future. They're without hope. We'll read in Ephesians 2:12.But we have hope. Hope in Christ. A future that's bright. A future that's sure,secure, anchored to Jesus Christ. What a rich blessing.  Todaywe see in verse 11, "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance,being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all thingsaccording to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christshould be to the praise of His glory." What is the will of God? Whathas God predestined us for? That we should be to the praise of His glory. Everyborn-again believer, every saint of God has been called to glorify God, toglorify the Lord Jesus Christ, be to the praise of His glory. And this willtake place one day. But even now, we are to live for His glory.  Notonly have we “obtained an inheritance”, but as some translations read, "inwhom also we were made an inheritance", we are His, Christ, inheritance!Both are true and the one includes the other. In Christ we have a wonderfulinheritance (read 1 Peter 1:1-4), and in Christ we are an inheritance. We arevaluable to Him. Think of the price God paid to purchase us and make us part ofHis inheritance! God the Son is the Father's love gift to us; and we are theFather's love gift to His Son. Read John 17 and note how many times Christcalls us "those whom Thou hast given Me." The church is Christ's body(Eph. 1:22-23), building (Eph. 2:19-22), and bride (Eph. 5:22-23); Christ'sfuture inheritance is wrapped up in His church.  Weare "joint-heirs with Christ", which means that He cannotclaim His inheritance apart from us! Romans 8:17 says: "And ifchildren, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed wesuffer with Him that we may also be glorified together with Him."  What a rich blessing that we have aninheritance and at the same time we are His inheritance.  Today,are you enjoying the inheritance you have in Christ? Godbless!

In this sermon, we explore Solomon's sobering reflections on the vanity of all human labor apart from Christ. Life is full of weariness and frustration, and no matter how hard we work or what we build, death ultimately claims it all. Solomon shows how toil under the sun is filled with sorrow because what we labor for will be left to others—often to those who may squander it. Yet, amidst this seeming futility, there is hope and meaning found in fearing God and receiving His gifts with thanksgiving.Key Themes:The weariness and vanity of labor in a fallen worldHow death renders all toil fleeting and often fruitlessThe curse of working hard only to leave the fruits to anotherThe difference faith in God makes for meaning in life and workEncouragement to find joy in God's provision and to live for His eternal kingdomReflection Quote:“I hate life, yet I am afraid to die.” — Voltaire (echoing Solomon's honest struggle)What you'll learn:Why all labor is ultimately “vanity” without GodHow fearing God and keeping His commandments unlocks true meaningThe biblical perspective on work, rest, and eternal hopeHow the wicked's toil benefits the righteous in the life to comeJoin us as we wrestle with life's biggest questions and discover lasting hope in Christ.#Ecclesiastes #BibleTeaching #ChristianSermon #BibleStudy #ExpositoryPreaching #VanityOfToil #MeaningOfLife"

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for August 26, 2025. Today's devotion, “Who Shall Sojourn in Your Tent?”from Psalm 15:1–3 (ESV), invites us to reflect deeply on God's holiness and our place in His presence. Who can dwell with the Lord? Who is worthy to enter His holy tent? This devotion explores how Psalm 15 reveals both God's demand for righteousness and the Gospel's answer in Christ. Only Jesus perfectly walked blamelessly, spoke truth without deceit, and lived in complete integrity. Through faith in Him, His righteousness is counted as ours, opening the way into God's presence. As forgiven people, we are also called to live transformed lives of love, truth, and service.

Everyone says they're “fine”—but what if you're not? Depression. Fear. Suicide. These are real battles, and the Bible doesn't shy away from them.

You'll hear raw truth, why the enemy attacks your mind, and how Jesus meets you in the darkest valleys. The question is—will you keep pretending, or will you fight back with the truth of God's Word?

Fr. Ken reminds us that Jesus calls us to “strive to enter through the narrow gate,” living our faith with commitment, perseverance, and hope. Though the path may be difficult, it leads to eternal joy, for hope in Christ never disappoints.

When we serve with pure motives, we become living testimonies that point people to Jesus rather than ourselves.This teaching includes practical application steps to examine your heart, look for opportunities to serve, intentionally point to Jesus, and pray for pure motives. It's a challenging reminder that faith without works is dead, and that we are saved not by good works, but for good works.

If you don't exercise, your muscles atrophy and become weak.  It is the same in the Christian life.  We often think about exericising our faith, but we also need to exericise our hope in Christ.  Fyodor Dostoevsky once said, "Totally without hope one cannot live.  To live without hope is to cease to live.  Hell is [filled with] hopelessness."  This Sunday we will consider together the vital importance of the Christian hope we have as a gift of God's grace in Christ and our responsibility to exericse it, just like our faith.Support the show

The Rev. Dr. R. Leigh Spruill draws from Hebrews 11–12 and a personal memory of his brother's final high school track meet to reflect on what it means to run with endurance the race set before us. Surrounded by a “great cloud of witnesses,” the Christian life is not a solitary sprint but a shared journey of encouragement, perseverance, and hope in Christ.Whether you're weary in faith or feeling weighed down by life's burdens, this message is a reminder to lay aside what hinders and fix your eyes on Jesus, the one who runs before us and crowns the race with joy.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're taking a hard look at Taylor Swift's new pornographic-themed album cover, The Life of a Showgirl. From the drinking and partying she parades as normal to her descent into porn culture, Swift has become a dangerous influence on young girls—and really, on everyone. We'll also address the cult-like following surrounding her, and why parents have a biblical responsibility to guard their children from this idolatry and from being exposed to Taylor Swift's sinful pornographic example. Darkness must be exposed, and the Word of God gives us the standard by which to measure it. We will also discuss how disgusting it is to excuse sin by simply labeling it “adult entertainment.” Unfriendly reminder: Civilization is currently collapsing. Let's actually do something about it?--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/

Restoring Lost Values | Week 7: Three Ways To Live a Counter-Culture Life // Ryland Walter // In a world filled with pressure and brokenness, many of us have become desensitized to the erosion of our culture. Yet, there is hope in Christ, our Redeemer, who offers us restoration and a return to true character and godly values. Join us for this series as we explore the crucial task of restoring lost values in our lives and communities. As we navigate the changing landscape around us, let's rediscover the timeless principles that guide us, dust off what's been neglected, and actively participate in bringing back what is essential for a flourishing life in Christ.

Looking at Hebrews 10:19–25, guest speaker Nick Fatato reminds us that because of Jesus' sacrifice, we have full access to God's presence—not by anything we've done, but by His blood. This truth calls us to live with intention: to draw near to God, hold firmly to our hope in Christ, spur one another on toward love and good deeds, stay rooted in the church community, and offer daily encouragement to others. In a world that often pulls us toward selfishness or despair, the resurrection makes us “prisoners of hope,” confident that every trial is temporary and our eternity with Christ is secure. Nick Fatato serves as superintendent of the Assemblies of God ministry network in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, and works globally with Live Dead—a missionary movement focused on planting churches among unreached people groups in challenging and often dangerous regions. He and his wife, Gina, have also been long-time mentors to Pastor Scott and Tiffany.

We've all wandered. Sometimes it's loud rebellion, other times it's quiet distraction—but whether it's chasing pleasure, running from pain, or drifting in disappointment, we find ourselves far from the heart of God. In this powerful message from Psalm 23:3, Pastor Travis Hearn reminds us that no matter how far we've gone, God's mercy will outrun our mistakes, His love will pierce the darkness, and His faithfulness will never fail. Through the stories of Adam and Eve, David, Jonah, Peter, and even the prodigal son, we see the same truth—God never gives up on His people. You are never too far gone. You're just one choice away from turning around and stepping into restoration, freedom, and purpose. If you've been lost in the wilderness, weighed down by shame, or convinced you're beyond hope, this is your “come to your senses” moment. Your comeback is not just about your victory—it's about God's glory. And when His name is on your life, your story becomes living proof of His power. It's time to rise up. It's time to come home. Because even when we are fragile, He is so, so faithful.

Access Granted: Wrapping Up Hebrews 9In this final episode on Hebrews 9, Jamie and Jane reflect on the beauty and power of what Jesus accomplished once and for all. They discuss how His sacrifice tore the veil, granted us full access to God, and redefined holiness—not as something to achieve, but as something we receive. As they wrap up the chapter, they invite you to consider: Are you living like access has been granted? This is a grace-filled, reflective conversation that will leave you in awe of the finished work of Christ.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book:Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved

In this episode of Everyday Theology, we’re talking about the rise of “Pharisee culture” on social media—when Christians spend more time critiquing each other than sharing Christ. Whether it be petty unfollows or entire platforms built on outrage, the drama seems to be trending. It begs the question: are we using our time and influence to glorify God, or just to win arguments online? Listen in as Ravae talks about how to engage online in ways that actually reflect our hope in Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to our Rooted in Ephesians series!Today we're resting in the truth of Ephesians 1:11–12:“In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of His glory.”You've been chosen. You've been included. You have an inheritance—a future and a position in the kingdom that you didn't earn, but were freely given in Christ.When you realize you're an heir, not an outsider, it starts to change the way you think.You don't have to live from insecurity, fear, or shame anymore.You don't have to chase value—you already have it.Your spiritual inheritance is a daily invitation to live like a daughter of the King, walking in purpose, identity, and peace—because your story is part of His glory.
