Send us a textII Corinthians 10Paul defends his authority as an apostle, addressing those who criticize him for being bold in his letters but unimpressive in person. He explains that his confidence comes from God, not human strength. Though he walks in the flesh, he does not wage war as the world does; instead, he uses spiritual weapons to demolish strongholds and take every thought captive to Christ. Paul warns against judging by appearance, reminding the Corinthians that true authority comes from God. He refuses to compare himself with those who boast in themselves, instead boasting only in what the Lord has done through him. Paul emphasizes that his ministry is for building up the church, not tearing it down. He concludes by stating that true approval comes not from self-promotion but from the Lord's commendation.The Lord challenges us to rely on His power rather than human strength. Paul reminds us that we do not fight spiritual battles with worldly tactics but with divine weapons that destroy strongholds. This calls us to examine our thoughts and take them captive to Christ, resisting fear, doubt, and pride. In a world that values outward appearance and self-promotion, Paul teaches us to seek God's approval rather than human recognition. Instead of comparing ourselves to others, we should focus on the mission God has given us. True strength comes from humility and obedience to Christ. As we trust in Him, we can stand firm against spiritual opposition, build others up in faith, and glorify God in all we do.All-powerful Lord, thank You for being our strength in every battle. Help us rely on Your divine power instead of our own abilities. Teach us to take every thought captive to Christ, filling our minds with hope and truth. Guard our hearts from seeking approval from others and remind us that true confidence comes from You. Give us the humility to serve and uplift others rather than tearing them down. Help us stand firm in faith, using the spiritual weapons You have given us to overcome challenges. May our lives reflect Your power and bring glory to Your name.Thought Questions: -       What does Paul mean when he says you have weapons “divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses”? How do you use them daily?  -       How do you take “every thought captive to the obedience of Christ”? What helps you get your mind right so that you follow Him faithfully? -       Do you sometimes seek human approval before God's approval? How do you get your focus on His commendation being all that matters?

Send us a textII Corinthians 9Paul continues to focus on generosity and cheerful giving. He encourages the Corinthians to fulfill their commitment to give generously to brethren in need, emphasizing that giving should be done willingly, not reluctantly or under pressure. He reminds them that whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly, but whoever sows generously will reap abundantly. God loves a cheerful giver and provides abundantly so that believers can continue doing good works. Paul assures them that God will supply and multiply their resources, increasing the harvest of their righteousness. Their generosity not only meets the needs of others but also brings thanksgiving to God. Through giving, believers glorify God and demonstrate the power of the gospel. Paul ends by praising God for His indescribable gift, the ultimate example of generosity—Jesus Christ. Generosity should stem from a willing and joyful heart, not from pressure or reluctance. It is a privilege to participate in the “ministry to the saints.” Paul reminds us that God loves a cheerful giver, and when we give, God often provides abundantly so we can continue to bless others. Do we give reluctantly, or do we view it as an opportunity to serve God? Generosity results in thanksgiving to God and a stronger faith. We must trust God with our resources, submitting what we have to Him. As we give, we share God's grace with others. True generosity is not about the amount but about the heart behind it, eager to help those in need, especially fellow believers. Benevolent God, thank You for being our provider and for teaching us the joy of generosity. Help us to give with willing and cheerful hearts, not out of obligation but as an act of love and faith. Remind us that all we have comes from You and that You will always supply our needs. May our giving bring glory to You, bless others, and lead to thanksgiving in Your name. Teach us to trust in Your abundant provision, knowing that generosity reflects Your grace. Let our hearts overflow with gratitude as we give joyfully and service Your people in need.  Thought Questions: -       Are you a cheerful giver, particularly when Christians are in need? How can you cultivate a heart that is more willing to help generously? -       Do you believe you reap from God in connection with how much you sow in charity? If so, what benefit is there to being greedy? -       Does the surpassing grace of God within you and His indescribable gift fill you with thanksgiving? Is charitable giving your way of expressing it?

Send us a textII Corinthians 8The Corinthians are encouraged to follow the Macedonian churches' example, giving generously despite their poverty. Their giving was an act of grace, overflowing from their joy in Christ. Paul reminds the Corinthians that true generosity comes from a willing heart, not obligation. He urges them to complete their commitment to give, just as they excel in faith, love, and knowledge. Paul points to Jesus as the ultimate example of generosity. Though rich, He became poor so that believers might become spiritually rich. He emphasizes that giving should be done according to one's ability, ensuring fairness among believers. Paul also introduces Titus and other trusted brothers, who will oversee the collection to ensure integrity. He calls the Corinthians to demonstrate their love through action, proving their commitment by giving generously and willingly.God's plan is for believers to help fellow saints in need. Paul highlights the Macedonian churches, who, despite their poverty, gave joyfully and sacrificially for their brethren. This challenges us to examine our own attitude toward giving—are we generous only when it's convenient, or do we desire to help our Christian family? True generosity isn't about wealth but about willingness. Paul reminds us that Jesus, though rich, became poor for our sake, showing that giving is an act of love. We are called to give freely, not out of obligation, but as an overflow of God's grace in us. By giving with a sincere heart, we reflect Christ and meet the needs of others, glorifying God through our generosity. Benevolent Lord, thank You for the grace You have shown us through Jesus, who became poor so that we might become rich in Your love. Teach us likewise to be generous, fueled by love for Jesus and His church. Help us to give sacrificially, trusting that You will provide for our needs. Use us bountifully so that our generosity may reflect Your grace and bring glory to Your name. Fill us with compassion for all others, and use us as vessels of Your love. May we give with sincerity, joy, and love, just as Christ gave Himself for us. Thought Questions: -       What motivated the Macedonian brethren to give, even though they had little money? Do those same reasons drive your generosity? -       What does it mean that Jesus became poor so that we might become rich? Should truly gracious work for others come at a cost to you? -       Christians proved their love for other saints by collecting funds for their needs. Is that a priority where you worship? Should it be?

Send us a textII Corinthians 7Paul encourages the Corinthians to pursue holiness, cleansing themselves from anything that defiles body and spirit, as they live in reverence to God. He expresses his love for them, reminding them that his previous letter, though painful, was written to bring repentance, not harm. Paul rejoices that their sorrow led to repentance, producing a lasting change in their hearts. He contrasts godly sorrow, which leads to salvation without regret, with worldly sorrow, which profits nothing. Paul praises the Christians for their eagerness to make things right, proving their sincere devotion to God. He also shares his joy over Titus' report, which confirms their obedience and love. Paul ends by expressing his confidence in them, knowing their repentance has strengthened their relationship with both God and him, bringing renewed unity and encouragement.In honor of God, we must pursue cleansed and holy lives. Paul reminds us that godly sorrow leads to real change, not merely regret. This challenges us to examine our hearts. When we sin, do we seek genuine repentance, turning back to God, or do we simply feel sorry without transformation? Authentic repentance should lead us to action, making things right with God and others. Paul also emphasizes the significance of encouraging one another in faith. Just as the Corinthians' obedience refreshed Titus, we should aim to be a source of encouragement for fellow believers. This passage calls us to live in holiness, embrace accountability, and respond to correction with humility, knowing that repentance brings renewed joy and restored fellowship.  Compassionate Father, thank You for calling us to holiness and for Your grace that leads us to repentance. Help us to have godly sorrow that brings true change, not just regret. Lead us to turn from sin and walk in obedience, seeking to honor You and to be passionate in our fight against evil. Give us humble hearts to accept correction and the strength to make things right. May we encourage one another in faith, just as the Corinthians refreshed Titus. Fill us with joy as we grow closer to You, knowing that repentance keeps our relationship with You secure.  Thought Questions: -       What is the difference between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow, and how can you ensure that your repentance leads to true transformation? -       Does true repentance lead you to a longing to avenge the wrong? How is turning from sin a choice to fight that sin fiercely in the future? -       In what ways can you be a source of encouragement and refreshment to fellow believers, as the Corinthians were to Titus?

Send us a textII Corinthians 6The Corinthians are encouraged not to receive God's grace in vain but to live faithfully, embracing the time for salvation. Paul describes the hardships he and his fellow workers endure—beatings, imprisonments, difficulties, and sleepless nights—yet they remain steadfast, acting with purity, patience, and sincere love. Though they are treated as impostors, they stay true; though sorrowful, they rejoice; though poor, they enrich many in Christ. Paul then warns the Corinthians against being unequally yoked with unbelievers, reminding them that righteousness and wickedness cannot coexist. As God's temple, believers must live set apart, avoiding partnerships that compromise their faith. He calls them to holiness, citing God's promise to dwell among His people. Paul urges them to separate from impurity, encouraging them to fully embrace their identity as God's children.We are to live entirely for God and not take His grace for granted. Paul reminds us that following Christ requires endurance through hardships, yet we must remain faithful with purity, patience, and love. This challenges us to examine how we respond to difficulties: do we remain steadfast or waver in unbelief? Paul also warns against being unequally yoked with unbelievers. This does not necessarily mean avoiding nonbelievers but rather being careful about relationships that could pull us away from Christ. As God's temple, we must pursue holiness, separating ourselves from sin while shining His light in the world. By embracing our identity as His children, we can walk in obedience, secure and motivated because God is our Father.Merciful Lord, thank You for Your grace and the call to live for You. Help us endure trials with patience, purity, and love, trusting in Your strength. Guard our hearts against anything that leads us away from You, and grant us wisdom in our relationships so that we may remain faithful to Your truth. We ask for wisdom in choosing our associations carefully. As Your temple, teach us to be holy, setting us apart for Your purpose. Remind us that we are Your children, loved and called to live for Your glory. May our lives honor You and Your Son. Thought Questions: -       What does it mean to receive God's grace in vain, and how can you ensure that you are living faithfully in response to His grace? -       How does Paul's example of enduring hardships with patience, purity, and love encourage and motivate you in your own struggles? -       What does it mean to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, and how can you apply this principle in the relationships you choose in life?

Send us a textII Corinthians 5 Earthly bodies resemble temporary tents, but God has prepared an eternal house for the future. While Christians may groan in their current bodies, they hold onto the hope of resurrection and the promise of being clothed in immortality. Paul encourages them to walk by faith, not by sight, knowing that being absent from the body means being present with the Lord. He emphasizes that all believers will stand before Christ to give an account of their lives. Because of this, he urges them to live with purpose, persuading others to follow Christ. He explains that in Jesus, they are a new creation; the old has passed away, and the new has come. Believers serve as ambassadors for Christ, entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation, calling people to be reconciled to God. We are challenged to live with an eternal perspective, remembering that our true home is with God. While our earthly bodies are temporary, we have the promise of resurrection in our new life in Christ. This truth should shape how we live daily, walking by faith and seeking to please God rather than being consumed by worldly concerns. We are new creations in Christ, no longer defined by our past. As ambassadors for Jesus, we are called to share the message of reconciliation, inviting others into a restored relationship with God. This passage encourages us to live with purpose, knowing that one day we will stand before Christ and give an account of how we represented Him to the world. Mighty God, we thank You for making us a new creation in Christ, where the old has passed away, and the new has come. Help us to walk by faith, not by sight, trusting in Your eternal promises. Remind us that our true home is with You and that our lives on earth are temporary. Teach us to live with purpose, seeking to please You in all we do. As ambassadors for Christ, grant us the boldness to share the message of reconciliation with others. We will demonstrate the controlling love of Jesus by serving His divine purpose and will today.   Thought Questions: -       What does Paul mean when he says you are a “new creation” in Christ, and how should this truth shape the way you live? -       How do you grow in the instruction to walk by faith, not by sight? How is your walk in Jesus different today than it has been in the past? -       As ambassadors for Christ, what are some practical ways you share the message of reconciliation with those God places in your life?

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on May 11, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Humans often praise men for their skills when they see them.  And they praise men for their plans that are wise.  But we should remember that all skills and all wisdom are given to man by God and therefore we should praise God.  When we see the great mountains, we should praise God for creating those mountains.   Many praise men ... but we should praise God who gives all things to men. *****   Proverbs 8   12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.   13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.   14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.   15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.   16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.   17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.   18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.   19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.   20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:   21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.   22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old.   23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.   24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.   25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:   26 While as yet HE had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.   27 When HE prepared the heavens, I was there: when HE set a compass upon the face of the depth:   28 When HE established the clouds above: when HE strengthened the fountains of the deep:   29 When HE gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not pass His commandment: when HE appointed the foundations of the earth:   30 Then I was by HIM, as one brought up with Him: and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him;   ***   Proverbs 3   6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.   7 HE layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: HE is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.   8 HE keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints.   *** II Corinthians 3:5  Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;   ***   Psalm 111:10  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do HIS commandments: HIS praise endureth for ever.  

Send us a textII Corinthians 4 Paul emphasizes that his ministry arises from God's mercy, and he refuses to distort or manipulate God's word. Instead, he preaches Christ openly, even though the gospel remains hidden to those blinded by the god of this world. He reminds the Corinthians that he is merely a servant, proclaiming Jesus as Lord, with God's light shining in his heart. Paul describes the Christian life as a treasure in jars of clay, illustrating that the power comes from God, not from human strength. Though believers face affliction, they are never crushed; though persecuted, they are never abandoned. Suffering reflects Christ's own, revealing His life within them. Paul encourages them to focus on what is unseen and eternal rather than on temporary struggles, knowing that their present hardships prepare them for eternal glory. Our faith is not about personal strength but about God's power working through us. Like fragile jars of clay, we may feel weak, yet God's light shines through us by His grace. When we face trials, we must remember that affliction is temporary, but God's glory is eternal. This chapter challenges us to keep our focus on Christ rather than our struggles. Instead of being discouraged by hardships, we should trust that God is using them to shape us for His purpose. By fixing our eyes on what is unseen, on His eternal promises, we find strength to endure. As we live for Him, our lives should reflect His light, showing the world that true hope is found in Jesus. Kind Father, thank You for shining Your light into our hearts through Jesus Christ. When we feel weak, remind us that Your power is made perfect in our frailty. Help us to endure trials with faith, knowing that our suffering is temporary, but Your glory is eternal. Keep our eyes fixed on what is unseen, trusting in Your promises rather than our circumstances. Let our lives reflect Your truth, shining hope into a world in need. Strengthen us to persevere, knowing that You are renewing us daily. May we glorify You in all things, relying on Your incredible strength. Thought Questions: -       Why is the gospel “veiled to those who are perishing”? How do you ensure the gospel remains clear in your eyes and heart? -       By carrying the life and death of Christ in you, there is strength in all circumstances. What helps you carry this spirit of faith on a daily basis? -       Is it difficult to keep your focus on the unseen and the eternal when things are difficult in this life? How do you refocus on heavenly things?

Send us a textII Corinthians 3 The apostle Paul explains he does not require letters of recommendation because the Corinthians themselves stand as proof of his ministry. Their transformed lives are letters from Christ, inscribed not on stone but on human hearts by the Spirit. He then contrasts the old covenant, which brought death through the law, with the new covenant, which imparts life through the Spirit. The law had glory, yet the ministry of the Spirit possesses even greater glory. Paul clarifies that through Christ, the veil that obscures people's understanding of God is lifted. Where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom in Jesus Christ. Paul encourages the Corinthians to embrace this freedom and transformation that comes through the Spirit rather than holding on to the old way of the law. For centuries, Jews could access God only through the laws of the Old Testament. This “ministry of death,” with its fading glory, was inscribed on stone and served as an unattainable goal for all who sought justification through it. The arrival of Christ and the new covenant has brought grace and hope to all who hear and believe. We now engage in a “ministry of the Spirit,” a “ministry of righteousness,” that will never fade away. This law of liberty is not written on stone but in our hearts, motivating us to live holy lives with grateful and joyful spirits. Our mission as workers for Christ is now to help the gospel be inscribed upon the hearts of others. Glorious Lord, thank You for writing Your truth on our hearts and giving us new life through Your Spirit. Help us to rely not on our own strength but on the freedom found in Christ. Remove any veil that blinds us from fully knowing You, and transform us daily into the image of Jesus. May our lives be living letters that reflect Your love, grace, and glory to those around us. Teach us to walk in the power of the Spirit, embracing the freedom You have given us. Let us shine with ever-increasing glory as we grow closer to You.Thought Questions: -       Paul loved those he taught, calling them letters of Christ written in his heart. Have you ever converted someone? How is that relationship special? -       How does contrasting the old covenant with the new covenant increase your gratitude for Jesus Christ? How can you show thankfulness? -       Are you being transformed into the image of Jesus? How does the Holy Spirit help you change your life to be more like the Savior?

Send us a textII Corinthians 2 Paul explains that he is postponing his trip to Corinth to avoid causing great sorrow. He writes this letter, urging the church to forgive and restore a repentant member who had previously been disciplined, emphasizing that excessive punishment could lead to despair. Paul reminds them that forgiveness strengthens unity and prevents Satan from exploiting their division. He then describes his ministry, explaining how God guides believers in a triumphant mission to spread the fragrance of Christ everywhere. For those who will be saved, the message is received openly as a welcomed scent, while those who reject it perceive the gospel as the smell of death. For Paul and believers, the responsibility remains to keep sharing the truth sincerely with everyone.  The most essential mission in life is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world. Many may not listen, but the Word of God is powerful when it touches receptive hearts. Our goal, like that of the apostles, is to genuinely share the Lord with others. Satan's mission is to hinder us. He uses many tactics, one of which is to keep God's people focused on each other in unproductive ways. Sometimes, this means continuing to punish, judge, or remain distant from a Christian long after they have repented. This creates division and serves the adversary's will. We must forgive our fellow believers for any offenses so we can unite in Christ and engage in His important work.  Benevolent God, thank You for Your mercy and forgiveness. Teach us to extend that same grace to others, restoring those who repent with love instead of judgment. Help us to stand firm against the enemy's schemes, uniting in Christ rather than allowing division to take root. May our lives spread the fragrance of Christ, bringing life to those who seek You. Keep our hearts sincere as we share the gospel, not for personal gain but for Your glory. Lead us in triumph, reminding us that we are called to reflect Your love and the truth about Jesus in the world.  Thought Questions: -       Why does Paul emphasize the importance of forgiving a repentant believer, and how important is it to do so fully and with openly shown love? -       How does a lack of forgiveness or affection toward a brother give Satan opportunities? What will he try to do in those situations? -       What does it mean to be “a fragrance of Christ to God” among the world? How will that assignment affect your daily behavior and attitude?

Send us a textII Corinthians 1Paul begins his second letter to the Corinthians by praising God as the source of all comfort during times of affliction. He shares his own sufferings, explaining that trials teach reliance on God rather than on oneself. Paul assures the Corinthians that just as they participate in suffering, they will also receive God's comfort. He recalls a life-threatening experience in Asia, where he “despaired of life” but was delivered through God's power. Paul emphasizes the importance of prayer, illustrating how the appeals to God by saints contributed to his deliverance. He then defends his integrity, stating that his words of exhortation and sacrificial actions are sincere and guided by Christ. Paul concludes by affirming that God has sealed believers with the Holy Spirit, ensuring their eternal security in Christ.Our God is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He cares for His children and feels for those enduring trials and losses. He offers eternal comfort through a relationship with Jesus Christ. God also provides comfort through His power to improve circumstances over time, as well as through the support and love of fellow believers. We can face all trials with confidence if we trust in God's abiding grace and the power of prayer to seek His mercy and assistance. To cultivate true hope, Paul taught the people about the loving Father, the reigning Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit within us. This remains the most essential and transformative message we can share with others.  Mighty Father, we thank You for being the God of all comfort who strengthens us in every trial. When we face suffering, help us rely on You rather than ourselves. Remind us that just as Christ suffered, we too will encounter hardships, but through Him, we also receive untouchable and abiding hope. Teach us to share the comfort You provide with others, so we may encourage those in need. Strengthen our faith and remind us that Your promises are always true in Christ. Seal our hearts with Your Spirit and guide us to walk in trust and gratitude daily. Thought Questions: -       What does it mean to say your Father is the “God of all comfort”? How does He help you maintain confidence and peace in times of affliction?  -       How does suffering teach you to rely on God over yourself? Is that a valuable process? And how does that affect your view of trials? -       Paul states God always comes through on His promises (v20). What are some of those promises that fill you with hope in all circumstances?

How to study the Bible: IX Cutting off of sin: Another antedote of cutting off sin is in we associate ourselves with, who we consider our friends. The Lord knows we live in a world that is sinful, but as christians we need to fight the urge of sin. Yes, God knows it is in our nature to sin, but it is up to us to be dedicated to Christ enough to not put ourselves in the path of Satan, and thats in who we decided to be yoked together with; "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? (II Corinthians 6:14-18).Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/chatting-from-the-word-hosted-by-oscar--4081759/support.

How to study the Bible: IX Cutting off of SIN!! Many of us do not recognize how it is so important to God that we learn how to cut off SIN. Another antidote that would help us is: watchout who we allow to influence us. When it is becoming more easier for many to fall prey to the wrong influencers.

Summer at Bay Chapel | July 20, 2025Pastor Wes MorrisHebrews 11:8-11 (TLB) Abraham trusted God, and when God told him to leave home and go far away to another land that he promised to give him, Abraham obeyed. Away he went, not even knowing where he was going. And even when he reached God's promised land, he lived in tents like a mere visitor as did Isaac and Jacob, to whom God gave the same promise. Abraham did this because he was confidently waiting for God to bring him to that strong heavenly city whose designer and builder is God.Sarah, too, had faith, and because of this she was able to become a mother in spite of her old age, for she realized that God, who gave her his promise, would certainly do what he said.  ✓ FAITH OBEYS BEFORE IT UNDERSTANDS.Hebrews 11:8 (NIV) Abraham obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.Luke 5:5 (NIV) “Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn't catch a thing. But if you say so, I'll let the nets down again.” ✓ FAITH ENDURES THE IN-BETWEEN SEASONS.Hebrews 11:9 (TLB) And even when he reached God's promised land, he lived in tents like a mere visitor... ✓ FAITH HOLDS ON TO WHAT GOD HAS SAID, EVEN WHEN WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.Hebrews 11:11 (NLT) It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise.II Corinthians 5:7 (ESV) We walk by faith, not by sight.FAITH STEPSI. SAY “YES” TO ONE SMALL ACT OF OBEDIENCE. John 2:7-8 (NLT) Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled, he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.Psalm 119:60 (GNT) Without delay I hurry to obey your commands.What is one small act of obedience God is asking of me today?II. FOCUS ON WHAT GOD IS DOING, NOT WHAT I'M FEELING.Psalm 42:5 (NLT) Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God!Faith is not a feeling. Faith is not a mood. Faith is a commitment to trust God's promises regardless of our emotions or circumstances.- Eugene PetersonIII. SPEAK GOD'S PROMISES OVER MY SITUATION.Hebrews 10:23 (NLT) Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.

In today's message, Pastor Jack reminds us that when we give our lives to Christ, we receive more than enough faith to overcome any challenge. He emphasizes that this God-given faith is powerful enough for miracles, healing, and breakthroughs, but it can shrink if we allow doubt, fear, or offense to take root. Using scriptures from Ephesians, Matthew, and II Corinthians, Pastor Jack teaches us to cast down negative thoughts quickly and not let them imprison us. He encourages us to speak life, walk in love, and avoid wasting time on offense or worry, as these hinder our faith. By staying courageous, trusting God's provision, and keeping our focus on His Word, we can experience the fullness of joy and victory in every area of our lives. Pastor Jack closes by urging us to live worry-free, knowing God has already prepared solutions for every problem we face.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places // Stopping a Jesus Parade Mark 10:46-52 (NIV)“Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means ‘son of Timaeus'), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!' Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!' Jesus stopped and said, ‘Call him.' So they called to the blind man, ‘Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you.' Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. ‘What do you want me to do for you?' Jesus asked him. The blind man said, ‘Rabbi, I want to see.' ‘Go,' said Jesus, ‘your faith has healed you.' Immediately, he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.” Luke 4:16-21 (NIV)“He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.' Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, ‘Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.'"  The 59 “One Another's” of the New Testament1.               “...Be at peace with each other.” (Mark 9:50) 2.               “...Wash one another's feet.” (John 13:14) (Serve one another)3.               “...Love one another...” (John 13:34) 4.              “...Love one another...” (John 13:34)5.               “...Love one another...” (John 13:35) 6.              “...Love one another...” (John 15:12) 7.               “...Love one another” (John 15:17)8.              “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love...” (Romans 12:10) 9.              “...Honor one another above yourselves.” (Romans 12:10)10.            “Live in harmony with one another...” (Romans 12:16) 11.             “...Love one another...” (Romans 13:8) 12.             “...Stop passing judgment on one another.” (Romans 14:13) 13.             “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you...” (Romans 15:7) 14.             “...Instruct one another.” (Romans 15:14) 15.             “Greet one another with a holy kiss...” (Romans 16:16) 16.            “...When you come together to eat, wait for each other.” (I Cor. 11:33) 17.             “...Have equal concern for each other.” (I Corinthians 12:25) 18.            “...Greet one another with a holy kiss.” (I Corinthians 16:20) 19.            “Greet one another with a holy kiss.” (II Corinthians 13:12) 20.            “...Serve one another in love.” (Galatians 5:13) 21.             “If you keep on biting and devouring each other...you will be destroyed by each other.” (Galatians 5:15) 22.            “Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” (Galatians 5:26) 23.            “Carry each other's burdens...” (Galatians 6:2) 24.            “...Be patient, bearing with one another in love.” (Ephesians 4:2) 25.            “Be kind and compassionate to one another...” (Ephesians 4:32) 26.            “...Forgiving each other...” (Ephesians 4:32) 27.            “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.” (Ephesians 5:19) 28.            “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” (Ephesians 5:21) 29.            “...In humility consider others better than yourselves.” (Philippians 2:3)30.            “Do not lie to each other...” (Colossians 3:9) 31.             “Bear with each other...” (Colossians 3:13) 32.            “...Forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.” (Colossians 3:13) 33.            “Teach...[one another]” (Colossians 3:16) 34.            “...Admonish one another” (Colossians 3:16) 35.            “...Make your love increase and overflow for each other.” (I Thessalonians 3:12) 36.            “...Love each other.” (I Thessalonians 4:9) 37.            “...Encourage each other...” (I Thessalonians 4:18) 38.            “...Encourage each other...” I Thessalonians 5:11) 39.            “...Build each other up...” (I Thessalonians 5:11) 40.            “Encourage one another daily...” Hebrews 3:13) 41.             “...Spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” (Hebrews 10:24) 42.            “...Encourage one another.” (Hebrews 10:25) 43.            “...Do not slander one another.” (James 4:11) 44.            “Don't grumble against each other...” (James 5:9) 45.            “Confess your sins to each other...” (James 5:16) 46.            “...Pray for each other.” (James 5:16) 47.            “...Love one another deeply, from the heart.” (I Peter 3:8) 48.            “...Live in harmony with one another...” (I Peter 3:8) 49.            “...Love each other deeply...” (I Peter 4:8) 50.            “Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.” (I Peter 4:9) 51.             “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others...” (I Peter 4:10) 52.       ...

II Corinthians 5: 10

The Torah teachers, Mark Call and Ray Harrison, are now joined again by Pete Rambo, as they continue the study of Shaul or Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians, and now into chapter 11, which is where the "rubber meets the road." Of all the ways that this letter has been 'twisted,' and - as they have suggested - even inverted from its original meaning, context, and intent, this may be the most key. When Paul warns that he was concerned people might start accepting "another jesus, whom we have NOT preached," he was absolutely right. And the Whore Church is not about to point that out to those who have been so deceived for 17 centuries or so.
