The Kingdom's immeasurable worth is supremely valued by those who discover it and rejected by those who think they already know the King.
Sermon from Phil Friesen on July 26, 2026
The sermon explores the profound and unconditional love of God as revealed in Romans 5, emphasizing that Christ died for sinners while they were still weak, ungodly, and enemies. It highlights the theological truths of justification by faith and reconciliation through Jesus' sacrificial death, assuring believers that their hope in God will never put them to shame. Dr. Waters argues that this divine love is not based on human merit but on God's character, providing a secure foundation for Christians facing suffering. By focusing on the cross as the supreme demonstration of grace, the message encourages listeners to boast in God rather than themselves and to trust in His enduring commitment despite their flaws.
July is National Bereaved Parents Awareness Month. Twice a week, we are re-releasing past podcast episodes honoring a variety of families and circumstances in their grief. Trigger warning: this episode centers on infant loss and grief. In this episode, Keira Sorrells shares her journey through infertility, a high-risk multiple pregnancy, life in the NICU with her triplets, and the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Zoe, at 14 months old. She reflects on navigating grief while parenting Zoe's surviving sisters, the impact of loss on her marriage, and the ways grief evolves over time. Keira's story is a powerful testament to enduring love, resilience, and finding purpose through advocacy and her work supporting other bereaved families.
What does it mean to be human? Scripture gives us a clear and dignified answer rooted in four essential truths. Every human life is created by God, made in His image, worth more than we can imagine, and significant in both impact and importance. We are not accidents or advanced animals. We are intentionally formed, deeply known, and infinitely valued by our Creator. God proved the worth of human life by sending His Son to die for broken, wandering people. When we truly believe this, it changes how we see ourselves and everyone around us.
In a special service streamed from CLA Silver Spring, Pastor Shane talks about the importance of being and belonging to His Church.

The sermon from The Oaks Church weekly gathering.

The devil prowls as we continue our study of the Book of Ephesians. The Grace of God will prevail for faithful believers as we travel
In this sermon, Pastor Steven returns to Ephesians to address one of Scripture's most challenging and misunderstood passages. By placing marriage, family, and authority within their biblical and historical context, he shows how Paul calls Christians to live with their husband or wife. At the heart of every relationship—husbands and wives, parents and children, leaders and those who follow—is the gospel itself: joyful submission met by self-giving, sacrificial love modeled after Christ.

Turning to Scripture to attempt the impossible-- to measure the immeasurable love of God!
Series: EphesiansScripture: Ephesians 1:19-23November 30, 2025 - Worship Service
Read Online“Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.” Luke 17:17–19He was saved by faith through the expression of gratitude! What a wonderful story to ponder today as we celebrate the national holiday of Thanksgiving!Though Thanksgiving Day is not specifically a Church holy day, gratitude is certainly central to our Christian faith, as is illustrated by today's Gospel in which ten lepers were healed by Jesus. And their communal reaction is something of which to take note. Nine of them were healed and went about their business, not returning to the source of their healing to thank Him. But one did. This one leper, who was suddenly no longer a leper, returned to Jesus, glorified Him, fell at His feet and thanked Him. This one leper was a foreigner, a Samaritan, but he manifested a faith that we must all strive to imitate. The faith of this Samaritan was evident by the fact that he knew he needed to not only be grateful for the grace of healing but that he also needed to express it.As we celebrate Thanksgiving Day, we are reminded that of all the things for which we must be grateful, nothing is more important than our gratitude to God for the immeasurable graces He has given us. But as the story goes, it is clearly very easy to overlook the importance of our response to God's blessings. Only ten percent of the lepers responded with such an expression. Therefore, it is helpful today to examine the many reasons we should be thankful and should work to express that gratitude to God.First, God created us out of love. This is no small gift. It is the first gift He has given us and one we often take for granted. God did not need to create us. He did not need to create you. But He did. And the gift of life, the gift of an immortal soul, is something that we must never overlook and always rejoice in.Second, God entered our fallen state through the Incarnation within the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Doing so elevated our fallen human nature to a height never known before. Humanity and divinity were united in the Person of the Incarnate Son of God and Son of Man, and we must be grateful for this unmerited and awe-inspiring gift.Third, we know the rest of the story. God, in the Person of the Incarnate Son, suffered, died and rose again. In so doing, He made it possible for every sin of ours to be wiped away. As we die with Him, we are invited to rise with Him. And as we rise with Him, we are invited to share in His glory in Heaven.Lastly, in each and every life, there are countless graces given to us every day. But as spoiled children, we often overlook these blessings and take them for granted. Examples here do not suffice. It is essential that if you want to have a grateful heart that you learn to see these blessings in your own life. Too often we focus on our struggles and pain. But the blessings are abundant, and the more we turn to our Lord in total surrender, the more the blessings flow. Reflect, today, upon the attitude that you have toward the many blessings God has bestowed upon you. Begin by considering the central blessings of God's creation and His saving acts of love. From there, try to ponder the many small ways that God has been with you, guided you, strengthened you, and blessed you abundantly. If you do not see these clearly, then use this day to consciously listen so that God can reveal them to you. As you see your blessings, respond as this one leper. Turn to Jesus, glorify Him, fall at His feet in prayer and thank Him. Doing so will fill you with the same saving faith granted to this one leper. My most generous Lord, You have bestowed upon me blessings beyond my imagination. I realize that I will never fully understand how good You have been to me and will never be able to express my gratitude adequately enough. Please do fill me with a grateful heart. Help me to see Your action in my life and to respond to You as this one leper. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: James Tissot, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

In this sermon, Pastor Steven walks through Paul's famous teaching on the Armor of God, showing why Christians need spiritual protection and courage in a world marked by unseen battles. He explains the real danger of the “schemes of the devil,” the purpose of each piece of God's armor, and how believers stand firm together—defending against evil, advancing in the gospel, and relying constantly on prayer.
The limits of material analysis end long before the limits of the Absolute. In this landmark episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Lord Brahma's profound realization in the Tenth Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam—where even the universe's greatest intellect confronts the impossibility of measuring Krishna's limitless nature. Weaving insights from contemporary voices like Alex O'Connor, Dawkins, Hawking, Planck, and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, they reflect on why science can dissect the universe yet still miss the Person behind it, how pride blinds us to the divine, and how humility, devotion, and sincere acceptance of life's challenges reveal the immeasurable beauty of Bhakti. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

In this sermon, Pastor Steven explores Paul's call for believers to “walk in love” and “walk in light,” grounding sanctification not in fear but in our identity as God's beloved children. He shows how the gospel frees us to confront the darkness of sinful desires, pursue holiness together as the church, and let the light of Christ reshape both our lives and our speech.

In this sermon, Pastor Steven unpacks Paul's teaching on sanctification—the lifelong work of God making His people holy. He explains how believers are called to put off the old self, be renewed in their minds, and put on the new self in Christ. Sanctification isn't about earning God's favor but living out the new identity He has already given us, together as the church, through the power of the Spirit.
In this message concluding Missions Month, Pastor Steven explores Paul's lifelong calling to proclaim the gospel to all nations and how that same mission continues through the church today. Drawing from Ephesians 3, he shows that global missions flow from three gospel-shaped motivations—our duty to obey Christ, our obligation to share what we've received, and our compassion for those who have not yet heard.

In this sermon, Pastor Steven explores Paul's revelation of the great “mystery” now made known—the full inclusion of the Gentiles as fellow heirs, members, and partakers in Christ. Through Paul's ministry and prayer, we see God's eternal plan unfold: a united church filled with the power of the Spirit, rooted in the unsearchable riches and immeasurable love of Christ.
In this message, Pastor Steven unpacks how Christ tears down the “dividing wall of hostility” that once separated Jew and Gentile, near and far, insider and outsider. Through His death, Jesus fulfills the law, brings peace, and gives all believers full access to the Father. Now, we are no longer strangers, but one people—fellow citizens and members of God's household, being built together into a living temple where God Himself dwells.
In this sermon, Pastor Steven walks through one of the most powerful passages in Scripture—Ephesians 2:1–10. He shows how Paul confronts the full reality of our condition apart from Christ—dead in sin, enslaved to the world, the flesh, and the devil—and then reveals the breathtaking hope in two words: “But God.” Through His mercy, love, and grace, God makes us alive in Christ and calls us His workmanship—reborn as a living testimony to His grace.
In this episode of the Crazy Love Podcast, Francis Chan opens his heart about what it truly means to live from God's love rather than striving to earn it. So many of us believe God loved us when we were His enemies, yet live as though His affection now depends on our performance as His children. Francis reminds us that God's love is constant, unshakable, and infinitely beyond anything we can imagine. This message echoes the heartbeat of Francis' brand-new book, Beloved, releasing October 7th. Written with his daughter Mercy, the book invites readers to move beyond head knowledge of God's love into a daily, lived experience of His presence and delight. You can pre-order Beloved today and pick up your copy wherever books are sold.

In this opening message from Ephesians, Pastor Steven introduces three questions that will guide our study this fall: Who am I in Christ? Who are we as the Church? And what does it mean to have courage? Looking at Paul's deep love for the Ephesian church and God's vision for His people, we are called to live with unity, boldness, and a renewed identity in Christ.
This gargantuan tragedy should serve as a wake up call. Charlie possessed many laudable qualities including kindness, intelligence, an unflappable drive, and a desire to debate ideas peacefully, among countless wonderful traits. His assassination is an attack on all of us. It is a direct attack on the foundational values of the United States. _______________________________________ This clip was posted on September 10, 2025 on my YouTube channel as THE SAAD TRUTH_1892: https://youtu.be/csQQDu-yunA _______________________________________

Welcome to episode 88 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss one of the Buddha’s key teachings: the four immeasurable minds. When cultivated, these four qualities – love, compassion, joy, and equanimity – can help heal negative emotions and lead to a more fulfilling, compassionate life. Both hosts share personal stories and insights about how to apply these teachings, and how to help transform suffering and cultivate a deeper understanding and connection with ourselves and those around us. They emphasize the importance of self-love, deep listening, and embracing interbeing, as well as the power of small acts of kindness, the role of playfulness, the wisdom of non-discrimination in leading a more fulfilling life, and more.

The Earth doesn’t discriminate; it accepts all and is the mother of all.” “Understanding is love, and it’s the most profound love because, when you understand, there’s no longer a barrier between you and me as separate people.” “The safest foundation is understanding. When you have that, you can work tirelessly because your understanding is your compass. And it can give you so much insight and so many ways of bridging the separation.” “One word can release suffering, one action can save a life.” “Looking with eyes of compassion, we can listen deeply to the cries of the world.” “There is a truth in Buddhism that, no matter what condition you’re going to find yourself in, suffering’s going to be there; your mind is going to create moments of ‘you’re not enough'.” “Why not be soft? There is so much strength in softness.” “Thay talked about how we can find joy in everything, that we can find joy in a pebble on the beach, we can find joy in a flower. We can find joy in someone’s smile. We can find joy in the fact that we’re alive. We can find joy in the fact that we can see all the textures and colors in the world. It doesn't have to be a big thing, but it is the recognition of what it is to be alive.” “I love the idea that one smile from somebody can restore our faith in humanity. Often, we think we have to act in big ways; that we have to carry out bold actions to create change. But one smile can genuinely save someone’s life. As Thay said, one small action can save a life; even a smile can change a life. We underestimate the power of the small things in life. We’re taught to see things in grand ways, but, often, seeing things in the small ways can be more important.” “Non-discrimination is the wisdom that we all are children of this Earth and we manifest on this Earth and we will return to the Earth.” “We should never be too sure of ourselves, our views, and our feeling of righteousness, because that only leads to more division.” “When you touch these elements of true love, loving kindness, compassion, and joy, your interbeing becomes stronger. Because if you have joy and you’ve tasted it, don’t you want others to have joy?” “Non-discrimination is for the more-than-human world as well; it’s for all beings. Because it’s very easy to separate ourselves from the natural world and to forget that, actually, the health of the trees is our health and the health of the oceans is our health; that, actually, the love that Mother Earth gives to us is also the love that we can offer back. So there’s a real feeling of reciprocity there.”
