Send us a textIn this week's Latter-Day Ladies Podcast, we're exploring HOPE—not the wishful kind, but the deep, sustaining gift of the Spirit.Because of the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, hope becomes an anchor to our souls—a promise and a commandment we're invited to live every day. This hope brings peace, mercy, rejoicing, and gladness, even in the hardest seasons.We'll also dive into Elder Uchtdorf's powerful talk “The Infinite Power of Hope” and learn how to nurture real hope in daily life and feel the Savior's power steady you through every storm.-------The Infinite Power of Hope- October 2008
Preacher: Chad Vegas
Paul, Silvanus (Silas), and Timothy greet the church in Thessalonica, thanking God for them and constantly remembering their faith, love, and hope in Christ. Paul notes that the gospel came to them not only with words but also with power, the Holy Spirit, and deep conviction. Despite persecution, the Thessalonians received the message with joy and became examples to believers throughout Macedonia and Achaia. Their faith in God spread widely, so much so that Paul did not need to say much; others testified about how they turned from idols to serve the living and true God and to wait for His Son, Jesus, who rescues them from the coming wrath.

What does godly wisdom look like amid evil circumstances? The Teacher/Preacher guides the listener through the reality of Oppression, the Celebration of Evil, and Injustice. The believer responds to these situations with a hope in Christ.
On September 10th 2025 we faced evil, we witnessed the wickedness of mens hearts as an assassin plunged a round into Charlie Kirks body, ending his life. Our country mourns, our country is heartbroken, our country is angry at the actions of depraved men. Tonight a wife sleeps alone, two children will no longer hear their dad pray and tuck them in for bed. All because they didn't agree with Charlies message of hope in Christ, and a love for his country. Please pray for the Kirk family and for those that were so close to them. May you rest in the arms of Jesus whom you made known to teenagers, college student and adults in our nation. You will be forever missed. #turningpoint #turningpointusa #tpusa #charliekirk #erikakirkTo donate to The Shot Caller PodcastZelle: antiochburbank@gmail.comNote: Please write Podcast on your givingMail in Check to: Antioch Church221 N Third St #390Burbank, Ca 91502https://caseydiaz.net
Charlie Kirk has been assassinated. A patriot and a bold voice for truth is gone. Evil is rising in our world, just as Jesus warned — deception, lawlessness, and persecution will increase. But in the midst of darkness, we hold fast to the only true hope: Jesus Christ. Today we honor Charlie's life, his courage, and his faith, while reminding ourselves that the gospel must be preached until the very end. 📱: It's never been easier to understand.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for September 10, 2025. Today's devotion, “He Drew Me Out of Many Waters” (Psalm 18:16–19, ESV), shows the Lord's personal rescue of His servant. David, overwhelmed by enemies too mighty for him, confesses his weakness and testifies that God alone was his support. The Lord reached down, drew him out of danger, and brought him into a “broad place” of safety, freedom, and peace. This picture points us to Christ, who endured the waters of death, defeated sin and Satan, and was raised in victory. Through His resurrection—and given to us in Holy Baptism—God draws us out of the flood and sets us free. Be encouraged today: the Lord rescues, sustains, and delights in His children.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for September 9, 2025. Today's devotion, “He Made Darkness His Covering” (Psalm 18:11–15, ESV), paints a breathtaking picture of God's power and majesty. David describes the Lord wrapped in darkness, thundering from the heavens, flashing lightning like arrows, and laying bare the very foundations of the earth. This is no distant or passive God—He is the Creator and Deliverer who commands storms, scatters enemies, and rescues His people with unstoppable might. For us, this power is revealed most fully in Christ: at the cross, when darkness covered the land and the earth shook, and at the resurrection, when death was defeated forever. Be encouraged—when you pray, you call upon the Lord who moves heaven and earth for your salvation.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for September 8, 2025. Today's devotion, “Then the Earth Reeled and Rocked” (Psalm 18:7–10, ESV), reveals God's dramatic response to the cries of His people. When David called upon the Lord, the earth shook, mountains trembled, and the heavens bowed down. This powerful theophany shows us that God is not indifferent to suffering—He rises in holy anger against evil and comes swiftly to deliver His children. Most fully, this points to Christ, who bowed the heavens to enter our world, shook the earth at the cross, and triumphed in the resurrection. Be encouraged today: the God who moves creation itself hears your prayers and comes near to save.

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.
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.

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.

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. In 1 Kings 19, Elijah goes from calling fire down from heaven to collapsing under despair. Pastor Joby Martin and guest Rebecca Maxwell cut through the silence to confront the mental health crisis head-on. 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.

Joy is not something we manufacture—it's a gift from God. In Psalm 126, the pilgrims sing of God's past restoration and pray with hope for more, reminding us that joy flows from God's faithfulness yesterday and His promises for tomorrow. In this sermon, we reflect on what it means to be people who dream again, who sow even through tears, and who reap with songs of joy. No matter the season, we are invited to walk as a community marked by joy, laughter, and hope in Christ.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

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/
