In 2 Thessalonians 3 Paul asks for the believers' prayers that he might be helped to freely teach the gospel without hindrance. From verses 6-15 the Apostle urges the Macedonian faithful to keep working and avoiding idleness. Many had ceased working because they mistakenly thought that the coming of Jesus Christ was so close that they didn't need to work. Idle brothers had to learn to heed the advice contained in this letter. In the last two verses the Apostle Paul asks God to give the believers peace.
Joshua 7 tells of Israel's first military defeat and the reason it happened. All was not well in the camp of Israel, though only a few knew of this. The next city that is to be conquered was Ai, another powerful walled fortress. So remarkably easy was the fall of Jericho that a sense of self confidence was developing within Israel. The elders of the nation saw no necessity for all the army to attack Ai. Let a few thousand men go up they said. And they were soundly beaten on their first attempt. Joshua takes the matter to the Almighty in prayer and is told of the cause of the problem. Israel's covetousness. For although only one man, Achan had taken spoil from the devoted goods, the whole nation had wanted to. Early the next morning Joshua rose and lots were cast to see who was responsible for the military defeat. Achan was chosen by the casting of lots and asked by Joshua to confess his sin. As Achan describes what he had done we see the classic pattern of sin – seeing, desiring and taking – this was the problem in Genesis chapters 3 and 13. 1 John 2:15-17 tells us this. Slowly read these verses aloud. Pause and ponder what we are taught about our desires and their outcomes due to our covetous ways, in Joshua 7 verse 19 Achan is called upon to acknowledge his sin before God. We too must do the same if we are to find forgiveness 1 John 1 verses 7-10. James 1verses 14-15 says that this is the problem each of us has After Achan tells of his sin messengers are sent to his tent to find the stolen property. Notice that these goods were hidden in the earth. This too will become the fate of all who act as though the LORD can be deceived. The entire assembly is called to stone him to death and heap over his carcass and those carcasses of his guilty family together with their livestock a heap of memorial stones. However in the future the valley of Achor, where these events occurred will become for the nation a door of hope as Hosea 2 verse 15 says (Peta Tikvah – the poem concerning Israel's Hope was written based on this and other verses in 1883. Later the song Ha Tikva was composed in 1897 and became Israel's national anthem on May 14th, 1948). Isaiah 11 is a masterpiece of Scripture which describes some of the characteristics that the Almighty both gave to and cultivated within His Son as part of the enabling of the sinlessness of our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 1 tells that our Lord's origins were divine – Micah 5 verse 2 “goings forth .. are from everlasting”. The Hebrew meaning of “going forth” speaks of Christ's ancestry is eternal. The same idea is conveyed in our Lord's own words – Revelation 22:16. Verses 2-4 speak of the capacities that Jesus' divine begettal played in equipping Messiah for his work in conquering sin. God's spirit was upon His Son from the time of Jesus' conception until his death. At the age of 30 that Spirit was given to him without a limit. It gave Jesus the capacity to develop a quick and perceptive mind. It also gave Jesus the capability to receive and understand his Father's Word beyond the capacity of any other member of the human race. Paul says that the Lord Jesus was, as the man of God, enabled to breathe in divine thoughts 2 Timothy 3 verses 15-17 and Isaiah 50 verses 4-10. He's was the Word of God developed in a mortal body – John 1 verses 14-18. Whilst we all too often make judgements on what we see and hear our Lord never did – John 2 verses 25. The Lord's judgment was unerring at all times. It was true and righteous. Verse 4 tells us that our Lord Jesus would uphold the cause of the poor and needy. These words accord with David's prophecy about Jesus in 2 Samuel 23 verses 1-7. And so Isaiah 11 verses 7-9 outline the peace, security and harmony in Messiah's kingdom. Ultimately the rule of Christ will see the filling of the earth with Yahweh's glory – both in understanding and by way of living. Verses 10-12 describe Messiah's role in the final regathering of Israel after his return. In 2 Thessalonians 3 Paul asks for the believers' prayers that he might be helped to freely teach the gospel without hindrance. From verses 6-15 the Apostle urges the Macedonian faithful to keep working and avoiding idleness. Many had ceased working because they mistakenly thought that the coming of Jesus Christ was so close that they didn't need to work. Idle brothers had to learn to heed the advice contained in this letter. In the last two verses the Apostle Paul asks God to give the believers peace.

Pastor Gina preaches on this Easter Sunday. Join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 am or live-streamed on our website at 9:30 am.
HE IS RISEN! Haven't forgotten that, have you? Just because we celebrated Easter and the Easter message of resurrection even though virtual, Sunday, April 20, I just can't let you and me ever forget that. It's not just April 20, it's every day of 12 MONTHS.HE is the only man who ever triumphed over death and the grave, none before Him and none since. THE ONLY ONE! That resurrection, that bodily resurrection, that ascension, that VERIFIED – WITNESSED resurrection and ascension is crucial, pivotal, revolutionary, life changing, essential and indispensable to the belief of every Christian. Morning, noon and night, every day of all 365, the living, resurrected Christ LIVES within the hearts of every Christian believer. And every believer, the Christ has promised, will live with Him now, in this life, and in the life WITH HIM to come. Incredible, is it not?Wonderful, glorious, jubilant, to every believer. But to the natural man:FOOLISHNESS, Absolute and altogether foolishness. It is absolutely ridiculous, says a natural man, an atheist or agnostic, that a mere human being, a carpenter from Nazareth no less, who came from dust and shall return to dust as the scriptures say should rise from the dead. It is just simply not possible. And of course, the myth of the resurrection and the myth of the virgin birth and even for many the myth of the crucifixion all are nothing more than fairytales or as the scriptures say IDLE tales. One can readily see how a natural man, one not drawn by THE HOLY SPIRIT, with eyes closed and ears blocked would scoff, mock and ridicule the EASTER story. If you want, as physicist and astronomer Steven Hawkins would say to believe in a myth of fairytale, that is your right. But the world of science says Hawkins, astronomy and the so called reason and rationality of the mind dismiss a resurrection possibility out of hand. It didn't happen, says Hawkins. IT CAN'T HAPPEN! And, to that, the Apostle Paul says if in fact the resurrection did not happen, then:YOUR FAITH IS IN VAIN. Worthless. No better than any other belief system, if even that. If Christ be not risen, any professing believer is not only deceived but becomes him or herself a DECEIVER. Such a believer testifies to a lie, perhaps the biggest lie in all of human history andconsequently, becomes a conspirator in the spread of evil and duplicity. So that, not only is the believer's faith in vain, but the guilt of the false belief of others lies upon him or her as well. When you or I profess to be Christian, we must therefore champion the resurrection with all of our heart, soul and mind. There can be no doubt. NONE!Perhaps that is why the nonbeliever dislikes, even hates Christianity and as a consequence the Christians who follow it. Nonbelievers hate the concept of sin. They see no need for forgiveness. They deeply resent the demands of Christianity and the Christ who boldly proclaims:NO MAN OR WOMAN COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME! Nonbelievers hate that demand, that exclusivity. For it rules out everything else, every other form of belief, in fact every other religion. The crucifixion at Golgotha was merely the death of one man, perhaps even justified. The man who died was a revolutionary, a seditionist, constantly conspiring to get THE PEOPLE to resist and rebel against Rome, the political system, Herod and Pilot on the one hand and the religious authorities, the Pharisees and Sadducees on the other. And he even admitted he came to stir up trouble, to turn one family member against another. He called Herod the Tetrarch of Rome a FOX, cunning, deceiving and lying. The religious establishment despised him because he referred to them over and again as nothing more than hypocrites, or whited sepulchers, empty inside. If any mere man deserved to die, and die in an excruciating way, it was this mirror man Jesus of Nazareth. It was with HIM then as it is now love or hate. You embraced him, believed in him, gave him your all. Or you despised, even hated him nothing more than a rebel or rabble rouser, deluded, even perhaps insane a man in no way to be taken seriously. WITH OR AGAINST. And, written off by Him who again boldly even arrogantly stated:HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME.The world, the secularists, the natural men and women accommodate Christianity one weekend, three days each year. From Good Friday through resurrection Sunday, those who believe in fairytales are allowed their celebration. But then comes Monday and it is back to business as usual, criticizing Christianity, attempting at every hand to get Christians, Christian beliefs and Christianity out of the public square, out of the marketplace, confined if at all possible to the four walls of a church. They are determined, these rabid, progressive secularists to curtail or eliminate Christian witness, any form of evangelism for they the enemy have determined that all Christian speech is:HATE SPEECH.They are determined to destroy, eliminate any form of testimony, any message which states:CHRIST IS RISEN Even as they scoff at the message:UP FROM THE GRAVE HE AROSE WITH THE MIGHTY CHILD O'ER HIS FOES Wherever he was buried, there he remains they say. From the time he was laid in a tomb, everything else, EVERYTHING is nothing more than myth, fairytale, idle tale WHY!But, natural man, like it or not, he did in fact rise again. HE WAS SEEN first by the women Mary Magdalene, Mary the Mother of James and Salome, and Joanna, and other women. They first saw the empty tomb as they brought spices, the announcement of the resurrection by the angel and these women were the very first EVANGELISTS. They were the first to go and tell. They told Peter, and the disciples, 11 of them and others that at the tomb:HE IS NOT THERE!HE IS RISEN! He was there, back for some 40 days before an ascension. He fellowshipped with his disciples and with others. He was there in the flesh for he was hungry and thirsty. He ate and drank and he showed them his nail pierced body and the wounded side where he was pierced. He returned as a man alive and ascended in glory as the eternal Christ. For Christian believers, it is true, all of it. It is fact. It is the foundation of belief. He was alive in the flesh before and after the crucifixion and now lives eternally and forever with his saints to reign. So, the Christian joyfully proclaims Easter Sunday and every other day:HALLELUJAHCHRIST AROSE We the believers celebrated the Easter weekend, mourning at the remembrance of the crucifixion on Good Friday, but joyfully and jubilantly celebrated HIS Resurrection on Easter Sunday. That resurrection message was heard that day the world over. The world made time, even priority at least to recognize that incredible message. But now, only mere days later, it is business as usual. Perhaps even we who believe become gradually less open, less aggressive in our testimony, perhaps even unwilling to STAND for what we believe, in Him. Perhaps, gradually, we become more defensive, even withdrawn, unwilling to testify and confront. Perhaps the message of those three potent days becomes a matter of memory, fading, the power of it all dissipating, the courage to fight the fight of faith waning.So, just a few days after the Easter celebration, it is well for us to celebrate again, and again and again, and every day the fact, the most supreme fact in all of human history that:HE IS RISEN.That, as the old hymn says, Christ the Lord is risen today, and every day. Hallelujah! Let us with all our hearts proclaim that message and live that message. It is the greatest fact in human history!So, from the virgin birth, to a powerful human life symbolist, to the crucifixion offering forgiveness for all mankind through the shed blood, to the resurrection, believe it, proclaim it, and live it every day of the year.And one more thing. There is yet to come the rapture. This, the crucified and resurrected Christ will return again for his church, for us. Perhaps that day is near and we should be ready. The rapture is yet another fairytale, so says the natural man. But for Christians, it is the ultimate event, the culmination of everything. If you are Christian, if you believe, then the Holy Spirit bears witness, fortifies your belief, encourages you and strengthens you and makes certain that you live joyfully in the faith, hope and love of the Christian journey. Easter was celebrated just a few days ago. But Easter is not a day, it is a way of life. Celebrate morning, noon and night:HE IS RISEN HALLELUJAH CHRIST THE LORD IS RISEN TODAY AND EVERY DAY!
On this Easter morning, Pastor Jonathan reminds us that the store of the resurrection is not jsut an idle tale we dust off once or twice a year. It's the story of how God's love triumphs over the evils of this world. If we try, even we can turn stories of death and destruction into stories of love and renewal.
Luke 24 : 1 - 12, Is Easter just an Idle Tale?, Reter Barnes by Arbor Dale Church
Luke 24:1-12 | Bulletin
The Rev. Javier Almendárez-Bautista preaches on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025.
Sermon for the Vigil of Easter on Luke 24:1-11.What first sounded like an idle tale and a bunch of nonsense to the apostles slowly became an undeniable certainty. Jesus died but lives. And now, because He lives, death would have no hold on them because it had no hold on Jesus.

Coalesce frontman Sean Ingram dives deep into his latest musical project, the heavy new band out of Kansas City called Idle Heirs, and their debut album, 'Life Is Violence.'
Send us a textKansas City-based post-metal duo Idle Heirs, featuring Coalesce frontman Sean Ingram and producer/musician Josh Barber, have announced the release of their debut album, Life Is Violence, dropping April 11th, 2025. The album will be celebrated with a record release show the same evening at Warehouse on Broadway in Kansas City, MO, alongside metal heavyweights Norma Jean.Born from necessity and personal upheaval, Life Is Violence is a searing, emotionally charged collection of eight tracks written and recorded in complete creative isolation at Ocean Sound Studio in Norway. The collaboration between Ingram and Barber—longtime friends and kindred spirits—came to fruition after years of false starts, catalyzed by Barber's self-imposed writing retreat in the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by storms and solitude, he created the sonic foundation for what would become Idle Heirs.The band recently appeared on The Vulgar Display of Podcast, part of The Barn Podcast Network, in which Ingram and Barber discussed their intense creative process, the album's introspective themes of grief, generational trauma, and paternal legacy, and why they originally never intended for these songs to be shared publicly.Singles like Dead Ringer and Pillow Talk give a glimpse into the band's dynamic range—melding haunting atmosphere, crushing weight, and a raw vocal performance that sees Ingram pushing into new territory far beyond his hardcore roots.With Life Is Violence, Idle Heirs offer more than an album—they deliver a moment of vulnerability and defiance, shaped by isolation, purpose, and love.Catch Idle Heirs live on April 11 at Warehouse on Broadway for their official album release show.www.BetterHelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

Marathon show! Had an actual ton of fun talking with the Idle Heirs guys on what has ended up being the longest EoS show yet. We covered a lot of ground, including of course their album Life Is Violence, but also soooo much other stuff. Things like being able to live in these songs, scream teachers, music being a gift to work things out with, and of course, Chickenfoot. I also get crushed for a Tool "hot take."

„Mladým lidem vyčítáme, zejména v souvislosti s nějakým výročím, že nevědí, co se v minulosti stalo. Oni to opravdu nevědí, ale může za to jejich školní výuka, o které sami nerozhodují. To mě zlobí,“ říká Karel Strachota, ředitel a mj. zakladatel vzdělávacího programu Jeden svět na školách organizace Člověk v tísni.

Today's guest is Stephen Muers, CEO of Better Society Capital – the UK's leading social impact-led investor. His path to impact started long before his career, shaped by his upbringing in a Quaker family rooted in values of equality, social conscience, and integrity.Before stepping into the world of impact investing, Stephen spent years in the UK government working on complex policy challenges like prison reform, energy, and child poverty. But no matter how solid the strategies, he saw firsthand how culture often stood in the way of real progress. That realization led him to seek change from a different angle – at Better Society Capital — the UK's leading social impact investor, formerly known as Big Society Capital.Founded with £400 million from dormant UK bank accounts (yes, really) and £200 million from the four main UK high street banks, BSC was built on an ambitious mission: not to grow its own assets, but to grow the entire UK social impact investment market.Since 2011, that's exactly what they've done — helping expand the market twelve-fold to over £10 billion. This capital now fuels social purpose organisations tackling everything from homelessness and domestic abuse to mental health and fuel poverty.Stephen stepped into the CEO role shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic, juggling remote leadership and homeschooling his son — because why not tackle systemic change during a global crisis?Today, he leads BSC's work across four strategic verticals: Social and Affordable Housing, Social Lending, Social Outcomes, and Impact Venture.Along the way, they're also proving a critical point: impact and returns aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, some of BSC's most successful investments are delivering both — solid financial performance and deep social impact. A reminder that social investing, done right, doesn't mean sacrificing returns.As Stephen puts it, “The trade-off between social and financial returns is not linear.” And maybe that's the real takeaway here — the future of finance won't be about choosing sides. It'll be about building markets where solving problems is part of the profit model, not separate from it.Tune in to hear how BSC is making that future a reality.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

Guy Adami and Liz Thomas discuss the relatively quiet financial markets of the week. They delve into personal anecdotes to highlight how calmer periods can still lead to significant market movements. The conversation explores the performance of the S&P 500, bond market fluctuations, and the impact of macroeconomic data like the CPI print and retail sales reports. They also speculate on the potential consequences of an audit of Fort Knox on the gold market. Both hosts share insights on portfolio diversification strategies, the risks and rewards in the current investment environment, and the significance of key upcoming earnings reports, particularly Walmart's, as a barometer for consumer behavior. — FOLLOW US YouTube: @RiskReversalMedia Instagram: @riskreversalmedia Twitter: @RiskReversal LinkedIn: RiskReversal Media
