Ever had a spiritual faceplant you wish you could undo? You’re not alone. Abraham—yep, the father of our faith—blew it in a big way. But grace didn’t give up on him, and it won’t give up on you either. Key Takeaways Grace Offers Do-Overs – Even when we fail, God’s mercy meets us with a fresh start (Lamentations 3:22-23). Abraham Messed Up Too – He let fear rule and threw his wife under the proverbial camel. Still, God didn’t cancel him—He called him back. Return to the Altar – After failing in Egypt, Abraham went back to where he first encountered God (Genesis 13:4). Returning to God is always the right next step. Failure Isn’t Final – Your spiritual missteps don’t have to define your story. In Christ, shame doesn’t stick—redemption does. Join the Conversation What “altar” do you need to return to? What would it look like for you to start over today with God's grace in view? Share your thoughts with us using #LifeaudioNetwork and let others be encouraged by your journey. You’re not too far gone. God’s mercy says, “Let’s try again—together.”

Ephesians 2:11-12. Before Christ, the nations were hopeless because they had no Messiah and no real, solid hope for the future. Because of this, sin reigned and darkness increased in these nations. We too were lost. Those who had no Jewish lineage were cut off from God's promises. Ephesians 2:13-14a. Christ has brought us near to God. He is our peace and the source of our hope. Ephesians 2:14b-16. Christ has made something entirely different out of the two groups. He did this through his death on the cross. His body dying gave life to us gentiles and Jews in God. He destroyed the hostility between the two groups. He did this by freeing us from the law of Moses and its commandments. He gave us a new identity in him in a new covenant apart from the law. Ephesians 2:17-18. Jesus preached to Jews and gentiles alike while he was on the earth but integrally after he left through his followers. He gave access to God to all who believe both Jews and gentiles. Ephesians 2:19-21. Gentiles are fellow partakers of the promises of God. This was something planned long ago and was built upon the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. Ephesians 2:21-22. In Christ, we are the new temple of God. We are being built into something new, God's new temple on earth. God dwells in human hearts, especially when we gather together in the name of Jesus Christ.The post Ephesians 4: From Strangers to Citizens first appeared on Living Hope.

Sexual immorality has always been a sin with very serious consequences; it defiles everyone involved and makes them unclean. Additionally, under the Law of Moses, even the lawful intimacy of a husband and wife made them temporarily unclean. In Christ, our bodies have been purchased and have become the temple of God. This makes sexual […]

Ephesians 6:10-11 — Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones admits that the problem of spiritual depression is so widespread that he could spend all of his time counseling depressed Christians. In this sermon on Ephesians 6:10–11 titled “Be Strong in the Lord,” he seeks to address the cause of spiritual depression. While the counselor should take strides to ease the immediate pain of depression, the problem lies deeper than the pain itself. The problem is spiritual. Living in a materialistic world, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that one forgets that the spiritual world exists. The tendency is to treat everything as physical. For some, this means arguing that all depression is the result of personal sin. For others, this means arguing that all depression is the result of the body or brain. These answers, however, do not go deep enough and leave the individual in their depression. The problem is that Satan wars against humanity. These depressed thoughts come from the devil himself. In fighting spiritual depression, Christians must engage in a spiritual battle. Dr. Lloyd-Jones examines the whole armor of God and calls Christians to put on this armor. This is their fight against spiritual depression: to take up this armor and fight against the devil. Listen and be encouraged that Christ has triumphed, He has defeated the devil. In Christ, His people will prevail.

No Other Jesus | Week 3 | Mitchell Dorris--Paul warns against being led astray by persuasive arguments, empty philosophies, or religious rule-keeping that looks spiritual but lacks substance. In Christ, we have everything—we've been made alive, forgiven, and set free from the weight of the law.

In this message, Andrew unpacks Exodus 19 as the pivotal moment when Yahweh proposes covenant union with His people, revealing that Exodus is not merely a rescue story—it's a love story. After delivering Israel from slavery, God invites them into a sacred relationship, offering not just rules, but identity and vocation: to be His treasured possession and a kingdom of priests. This covenant mirrors a wedding proposal, calling for wholehearted devotion rather than passive belief. Though God's holiness is overwhelming, the message of the New Covenant through Jesus is that we are no longer held at a distance. In Christ, we move from trembling at the base of the mountain to bold access in the presence of God. Worship becomes our response to divine love, not out of fear, but from joy and freedom, as we receive both our identity and purpose in Him.

"We're called to unity, but we are not called to uniformity. In Christ, we are formed for freedom!" In his sermon, rooted in Galatians 2:11–21, Pastor Mason challenged us to embrace our church's core value of “Unity in Diversity," not as a reflection of modern politics, but as a gospel-centered reality established by Christ. . As believers, we're called to embrace this unity with others across ethnic lines, celebrate diversity in worship and expression, and resist anything that challenges Christ's ultimate authority.

In Paul's appeal to the Colossian church, he reiterates the creative and sovereign power of Jesus in a what seems to be a known song or prayer. For Paul, everything is about Jesus. It is Christ who is the agent in creation, it is Christ who reigns over all things, and it Christ who redeems and reconciles creation back to God. In Christ, our relationship with God can be restored. That is what gives us hope. That is what gives us meaning and purpose. That is what gives us life. That is true power. The invitation for everyone is to make Jesus King. Make Jesus King over all things. If you need prayer, we're here for you.

As we open Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus it becomes immediately clear that Paul is overflowing with joy in Christ. The source and origin of this joy is Christ Himself, whom Paul notes as the one who is responsible for our salvation. Take note of how often Paul uses the phrase “In Him” or “In Christ”. He goes on to make clear that it is not our works that bring such blessing and righteousness, but free grace through faith. Having received this gift, Paul then encourages the church to live worthy of God's calling. Though we may often fail, we should make it our aim to grow into maturity, submitting to the order of King Jesus.Ephesians 1 – 1:14 . Ephesians 2 – 4:46 . Ephesians 3 – 8:17 . Ephesians 4 – 12:05 . Ephesians 5 – 16:40 . Ephesians 6 – 21:05 . Proverbs 26:1-12 – 24:52 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In Christ, you're always on the winning side.

"You are not defined by the sin you were born into. In Christ, you are made new." The resurrection of Jesus isn't just the climax of the Easter story—it's the foundation of our faith. Without it, death still wins. But because Jesus was raised, we are raised with Him into new life. This sermon confronts the universal reality of sin, the broken condition of the human heart, and the powerful truth that Jesus' resurrection proves He was sinless—and that death could not hold Him.

Tap here to send us a message!The greatest battle we face each day is fought in the mind—the struggle to believe that God is truly for us, not against us. It's the war between truth and lies, where we must hold fast to the promise that we are not beyond repair and that His strength is made perfect in our weakness. In Christ, we are not victims of fear or despair, but overcomers called to walk in peace, victory, and purpose.05/04/2025 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:Colossians 1:19-22Genesis 3:13II Corinthians 11:3Proverbs 23:7Job 3:25II Corinthians 4:4Philippians 4:8I Corinthians 2:16II Timothy 1:7Isaiah 26:3Ephesians 4:22-24I Corinthians 2:14Romans 8:5-11Philippians 2:5Jeremiah 10:23II Corinthians 10:3-5Colossians 1:19-22John 8:24, 31, 32, 34, 36

Beginning our series on Ephesians, we'll cover the first half of the first chapter (Eph 1:1-14). What emerges are three main points: (1) you are blessed in Christ, (2) you are redeemed for new creation, and (3) you are sealed for an inheritance. Thus, God has equipped you with every advantage in Christ. Ephesians 1:1-2 Since, the words “in Ephesus” are missing from several of our earliest manuscripts and the letter lacks any specifics about the recipients, Paul likely wrote Ephesians to be read by multiple churches right from the start. It is a comprehensive and masterful summary of Christianity and is well worth your time. Ephesians 1:3-6 From our creation, God blessed us (Gen 1:28). Then after humanity's initial rebellion, our world became cursed, and our flesh became fallen. God chose Abraham and then Israel so that through them He could bless the world. In Christ—the quintessential Israelite—we receive the blessings that result in holiness, adoption, and an inheritance (Gen 1:28; 12:2-3; Deu 7:6-14). Ephesians 1:7-10 In Christ we have redemption through his blood, resulting in forgiveness of our sins. Grace may be freely available, but it is not cheap. It cost something: Christ was the price. To be redeemed is for a captive or slave to be set free. This was all part of God's plan to unite all things in heaven and earth in Christ. Ephesians 1:11-14 In Christ we have an inheritance. Guaranteeing God's promise of this bright future, He's sealed us with His spirit. In their world, a seal meant possession, like a rancher's brand. The idea s not that you can live however you want and you will still be saved. Rather, it's that God has marked you His own, giving you a new identity in Christ that you should live out joyfully.The post Ephesians 1: Every Advantage first appeared on Living Hope.

Real transformation isn't about trying harder—it's about letting go. In Christ, we don't just make improvements; we make an exchange, trading our old ways for new life in Him.

Real transformation isn't about trying harder—it's about letting go. In Christ, we don't just make improvements; we make an exchange, trading our old ways for new life in Him.

Because our hearts are wicked and desperately sick, we don't even have the power in ourselves to do what God's word tells us to do, so we always miss its blessings. Christ died to redeem our wicked hearts so that we could finally obey the word of God and receive its blessings. In Christ we have the power to obey. Now we just have to choose to do it.

After pointing out how to tell between true and false prophets, Jesus goes on to describe the reality of those who claim to be His disciples, but who in fact are not. He reveals that we cannot discern a disciple based on amazing and good works they do in His name.  “In the end, there is one basis of salvation; it isn't mere verbal confession, not “spiritual works,” but knowing Jesus and being known by Him. It is our connection to Him — by the gift of faith that He gives to us — that secures our salvation. Connected to Jesus we are secure; without connection to Him all the miracles and great works prove nothing.” -David GuzakWe cannot base our citizenship in the Kingdom of Heaven upon anything but Jesus--not anything we do or say or perform, no matter whose name we claim to serve—it is Only faith in the Lord Jesus Christ's work on our behalf by which we enter. Let us take these words to heart, submit our lives to His Lordship, rely upon His all-sufficient Grace and seek Him as our only source of Life. In Christ alone are we secure.Prepare for this week's message by reading Matthew 7:21-23 with Paul's words of assurance in Ephesians 2:4-10 and Romans 8:31-39

Mark 5:1-20 is the second of four miracles that display Jesus' power as God in flesh. At the end of chapter 4, Jesus calmed a storm by rebuking it. Creation bowed to its master as the wind and waves obeyed. The creator is sovereign over His creation. Mark 5:1-20 shows us that Jesus also holds power over the spiritual realm, the armies of Satan, and the kingdom of darkness. When Jesus arrives at the opposite shore of the Sea of Galilee, a man enslaved by unclean spirits meets Him. Mark provides significant detail regarding this man's hopeless and tormented condition (v. 1-5). As the narrative progresses, we learn that a legion of unclean spirits inhabits him. But even thousands of demons cannot withstand His authority. Jesus triumphs over the host of enemy powers with the same authority and word that stilled the storm. Jesus has come to set the captive free. This man's circumstances are extreme, but they are not the only picture of someone enslaved to Satan's kingdom. Without Christ, all of Adam's descendants are held under Satan's power (1 John 5:19; Eph. 2:1-2; Col. 1:13-14). If Jesus can conquer the army garrisoned within this man, He can free any captive and save any soul enslaved by sin. There are several twists in this narrative involving suicidal pigs and a howling graveyard dweller, but as we have seen before, Jesus is the "Son of the Most High God" (Mark 5:7) and possesses the power to bring the kingdom of God into the darkness. Mark ends this passage by displaying how the townspeople and the recently delivered man respond to Jesus. One is commissioned, while the others beg Jesus to leave. I. The Plight Of The Enemy's Slave (v. 1-5) II. The Power Of The Sovereign Son (v. 6-13) III. The Responses To This Lord & King (v. 14-20) In Christ, Jason Velotta worship-connect-serve

One of the greatest struggles we experience in life is figuring out who we are. What's our identity? To answer this question we might look at our born qualities: our family of origin, our abilities, our physical traits. Or we might look to our earned qualities: our education, profession, relationships. How often do we first look to what God says? In Christ, God gives us an identity that should come before any other and He wants us to take hold of our identity as His child.
