Pastor Micah Stephens preaches from Acts 24, urging believers to embrace the whole counsel of God with unwavering obedience, even in the face of persecution. Reflecting on Paul's trial before Governor Felix, he contrasts the flattery of Paul's accuser, Tertullus, with Paul's bold, Spirit-led defense of the gospel. Pastor Micah connects Paul's resolve to his own commitment to proclaim truth, referencing his Ventura County Star interview and Pastor Rob's fearless preaching. He challenges the congregation to reject the temptation to delay obedience for a “convenient time,” emphasizing that righteousness, self-control, and impending judgment demand immediate action. Amid personal concerns like the Epstein files and global injustices, he encourages steadfast faith, trusting God's plans over worldly comfort, to secure an eternal legacy.Verse References: Acts 24 verses 10–27, Acts 20 verses 26–27, Proverbs 20 verses 22–23, Mark 13 verse 11, Matthew 5 verse 11, Philippians 3 verse 8, John 16 verse 33, Hebrews 9 verse 27, Hebrews 3 verses 12–15, Acts 23 verse 11, 1 Timothy 6 verse 11Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

We often approach prayer thinking we have to convince God to respond, but the truth is that He is more willing than we realize. In this message, we look at how Scripture teaches us to lay hold of God's willingness and align our prayers with His will. Through key passages like Mark 5, Philippians 4, and 1 John 5, we see that prayer is not about changing God's heart but allowing Him to change ours. Whether you're dealing with delay, discouragement, or doubt, this message will encourage you to keep praying, keep believing, and trust that God's “yes” is filled with purpose and rooted in His love.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on August 11, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... We cannot pursue fame, money and reputation among men and serve God. The only way we can be a servant of God is to do that which God tells us to do which is opposite to the way of this world. But our flesh wants fame, money and reputation. So there is a battle. How do we overcome our own flesh? This is the story of this Podcast. == I John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in HIM, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS will, HE heareth us: 15 And if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of HIM. Matthew 4:8-11 Again, the devil taketh HIM (Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth HIM all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto HIM, All these things will I give THEE, if THOU wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth HIM, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto HIM. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 (NASB) And you know what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only HE (Jesus, the Word) who now restrains will do so until HE (Jesus, the Word) is removed. 8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of HIS mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; Titus 3:10-11 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ (the Word) which strengtheneth me.

In a culture obsessed with fixing weaknesses, Whitney Hopler invites us to shift our focus to our God-given strengths. Drawing from Romans 12:6-8, this devotional encourages believers to identify, celebrate, and use their unique spiritual gifts and talents instead of dwelling on flaws. Embracing your natural strengths not only aligns you with God’s design but also empowers you to serve more confidently and effectively in your personal and professional life. Highlights Many people spend too much time trying to fix weaknesses, losing sight of the powerful strengths God has given them. Formal strength assessments or simple reflection can help you discover your unique spiritual gifts and natural abilities. Romans 12:6-8 encourages using your strengths faithfully rather than obsessing over weaknesses. God’s purpose for you is best fulfilled when you lean into what you’re naturally good at, making a greater impact for His kingdom. Focusing on your strengths leads to greater confidence, wise decisions, and freedom to be your true self in Christ. Strengths-based living helps overcome weaknesses without becoming paralyzed by them.

Paul told the Philippians he wanted to know ‘the fellowship of sharing in Christ’s sufferings.' Throughout his ministry he endured terrible sufferings—so why would he desire more of it, and to revel in it? It's here that Paul declares the great and seemingly crazy yearning of Christians—one that's been horrendously misunderstood for centuries…
In this week's raw and honest episode, we're going deep. Deeper than porn. Deeper than behavior. This is about the heart and the eternal battle between comfort and calling. You'll hear a powerful story about Alexander the Great and how his army's success became their greatest hindrance. And how that same pattern plays out in the lives of Christian men today. Spoils become shackles. Comfort becomes compromise. And sin, both obvious and subtle, keeps us from the race we were meant to run. But we're not left without an example. Jesus, the greater King, burned every worldly treasure to obey the will of the Father—and then called us to follow Him. Not to simply “go,” but to follow. You'll discover: Why the call to follow Jesus means radical surrender How to throw off the “weighted vest” of comfort and sin A practical challenge to fix your eyes on Christ...not other Christians, not your Instagram feed, not your bank account And a live invite to join a free workshop on biblical meditation (inside the Man of Valor community) This is not about white-knuckling your way out of pornography. It's about magnifying Christ and living for something that will never fade. Mentioned in this episode: The Alexander the Great story and spiritual parallel Hebrews 12:1–4 | Philippians 2 | 1 Peter 2 | 2 Corinthians 8:9 Quotes from Charles Spurgeon The “Murph Workout” analogy to carrying spiritual weight A free community for men: themanofvalor.com Upcoming live workshop: How to Meditate on the Word of God (register inside the group)

Scripture: 1 Samuel 18. Today we look at the cost of fame, the discouragement of injustice, and we will see what we can learn from David on how to navigate through them. In our text we read of David's progression of fame. He was a natural leader, a brilliant tactician, and widely acclaimed for his accomplishments. While David increased in popularity, Saul became very angry and he began to keep his eyes on David. Saul saw David as a threat to his throne and begins to want David killed, even throwing his own spear at him several times - but David escapes. David is an honorable man and refuses to retaliate by attacking Saul because he knows that Saul is the currently anointed King. (David has been anointed to be the next king, but he knows God is in charge of that timing so honors God's current choice of king by not retaliating against him.) Saul sends David away on warrior campaigns hoping David might be killed, yet David continues to be successful. With David's continued success in leading the Israelites so skillfully in battle and his acclaim continuing to grow, Saul becomes afraid of David. What we see is David's fame increases as he navigates the perils of fame. How did God enable David to cope, thrive and survive the fame with people and the injustice from Saul? A look at David's Character: ⁃ David trusted in the Lord above all else. He trusted in the Lord and not in himself, not in his own abilities or his own insights. David did what Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” ⁃ David was courageous because his courage came from God. David knew what the scriptures say, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” ⁃ David was patient and did not act rashly or try to take matters into his own hands. He knew he was the Lord's newly anointed king but he did not usurp that authority. Rather he remained patient in waiting for God's timing. Psalm 27:14 “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” ⁃ HOWEVER! David WAS a sinner like all of us. Jesus is our Savior. We are not saved because of anything we've done, but rather we are saved because of everything that Jesus has done!! Philippians 5:8 tells us that Jesus, “being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” David is a great hero, but Jesus is our Savior!! We not only have forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus, but we have the strength to live our lives each day with purpose and with profound impact by relying on Him alone! Now What?

When You Leave It All—You Gain Everything(Week 3 of the LEAVE TO SEE series)Pastor Joe Moss II | Make God Famous ChurchWhat if the very thing you're holding on to… is what's holding you back?In this powerful Week 3 message, Pastor Joe Moss II challenges us with the story of the rich young ruler (Mark 10:17–31) and a prophetic vision of the church—full of grown believers still sitting in high chairs, waiting for someone to feed them.With a vivid personal story about feeding his own son as a baby, Pastor Joe connects the dots between maturity, movement, and multiplication in the Kingdom.“You didn't lose when you left.You graduated.”This message is for anyone who's been clinging to comfort, afraid to step out, or unsure of what comes next.

As we conclude our series in the book of Philippians, Paul describes joy that's found in generosity.
Today we look at one of the wildest passages in the New Testament (Jude 8–10) where we meet the Archangel Michael locked in a supernatural dispute with the devil himself over the body of Moses. Why would God include this strange story in the Bible? Because your place in God's story matters more than you think. You've been born into a cosmic battle between good and evil—and whether you know it or not, you're in the middle of it. In this message, you'll learn: - What it means to “know your place” in the spiritual war - Why many today mock or ignore the spiritual realm - How fake Christianity is exposed by instinct over obedience - Why humility and confidence are both required in spiritual warfare - What it means to walk in the authority of Christ, not your own If you've ever felt spiritually apathetic, confused, or intimidated—this message will wake you up and equip you with clarity and courage.

July 13 2025 Sunday Your Words Matter / Week 23 / T. Stacy Hayes #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word. That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior.

But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.” Philippians 3:12 NLT “Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own.” Philippians 3:12 AMPC “which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” Colossians 2:17 KJV “For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.” Colossians 2:17 NLT “Such [things] are only the shadow of things that are to come, and they have only a symbolic value. But the reality (the substance, the solid fact of what is foreshadowed, the body of it) belongs to Christ.” Colossians 2:17 AMPC “knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:24 KJV “Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.” Colossians 3:24 NLT “Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ (the Messiah).” Colossians 3:24 AMPC “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5 KJV “This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.” 1 John 1:5 NLT “And this is the message [the message of promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [no, not in any way].” 1 John 1:5 AMPC “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” 1 John 2:27 KJV “But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.” 1 John 2:27 NLT “But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him], just as [His anointing] has taught you [to do].” 1 John 2:27 AMPC Romans 10:9-10 Salvation… Romans 10:17 Faith in God comes from hearing His Word… Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus'Yoke is Easy… John 3:16 God gave Jesus to pay for our Salvation… God Loves The abortion dr As Much As He Loves The Babies They Are Killing… Philippians 12:2 Work out your own Salvation… Romans 8:1 No condemnation in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Luke Chapter 15 The Story Of The Prodigal Son… Philippians 4:19 God will supply all your needs let Him… Romans 4:20 Don't Stagger at What God Is Saying In His Word… John 15:5 We can't do anything aside from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… 2 Corinthians 5:17 We are new creatures in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… 2 Corinthians 5:21 We are The Righteousness of God In Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Mark 10:29-30 100 Fold Return… Ephesians 2:8 We are Saved by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior… Believe God's Word Above All Opinions God Loves The abortion dr's As Much As He Loves The Babies They Are Killing… Mark 10:29-30 100 Fold Return… Share This Podcast On Your Social Media… Website https://the-prodigalson.com Email tstacyhayes@gmail.com YouVersion Bible App https://my.bible.comi iOS App https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prodigal-son/id1450529518?mt=8 … Android App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.wizzard.android.prodical Social Media https://www.facebook.com/The-Prodigal-SON-209069136315959/ https://www.facebook.com/noreligion1511/ https://twitter.com/noreligion1511 https://www.instagram.com/noreligion1511/ https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCPx4s1CLkSYef6mp4dSuU4w/featured

Jesus said, “My peace I leave with you.” Very likely, when we pray, peace is often what we ask for - peace in the world, peace at home, and maybe most of all, peace in our relationships - but what did Jesus mean when He said His peace? And how could that make a difference in our problem relationships today? If you or someone you know is struggling with a difficult relationship, this message is for you.Introduction: Three approaches to peaceInwardOutwardUpwardThe world's peace: The absence of disturbance and hostility, free from internal and external strife.God's peace: ShalomComplete soundness or wholeness of healthHarmony in relationshipsSuccess and fulfillment of purposeVictory over one's enemiesChoosing peace in relational conflict -Philippians 4:1-5The context: Philippians 4:1The plea for unity: Philippians 4:2The request for competent counsel: Philippians 4:3The command concerning relational focus: Philippians 4:4The command concerning personal responsibility: Philippians 4:55 ways to diffuse relational conflict:Resolve to stop procrastinating. -Philippians 4:1Re-evaluate your expectations. -Philippians 4:2Get competent, outside help. -Philippians 4:3Refuse to allow one relationship to ruin your life. -Philippians 4:4Remember, a right response is more important than being right. -Philippians 4:5Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions"I Choose Peace" Book"It is Well with My Soul" by Horatio SpaffordConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
Are you searching for lasting peace amid life’s storms? Stress, anxiety, and uncertainty are common struggles, but the peace Jesus offers is unlike anything the world can give. In this devotional, Vivian Bricker shares how the peace of Christ surpasses temporary fixes and brings lasting transformation. Through trusting Jesus as Savior and Lord, we can experience a profound peace that calms our hearts even in difficult times. Highlights The world offers fleeting relief through self-help tips and distractions, but Jesus offers lasting peace that truly satisfies (Philippians 4:7). Accepting Jesus as your Savior—believing in His death and resurrection—is the key to receiving His peace (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 1 John 3:1). Jesus’ peace does not fade or get taken away, even when life feels chaotic (John 14:27). You can surrender your worries, anxieties, and fears to Jesus and find rest at His feet (John 16:33). Lasting peace often grows gradually; remain open-hearted and patient as Jesus works in your life. Counseling and therapy can coexist with faith, complementing the peace Jesus provides.

Life's Beautiful Rhythm #RTTBROS #Nightlight Life's Beautiful Rhythm"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." - Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4My friend shared something with me recently that hit me right between the eyes. She said, "Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful, it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary."That got me thinking about how we need what I call a theology that's sturdy enough for the awful and stimulating enough for the ordinary, so we can make it back to that oh so satisfying amazing.You know, I've been around long enough to see this rhythm play out in my own life and in the lives of countless people I've pastored over the years. Too soon old and too late smart, as they say, but I've learned that life really does come in seasons, just like Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes.Let me tell you about a man named Horatio Spafford. In 1871, this successful Chicago lawyer lost almost everything in the Great Chicago Fire. Two years later, he sent his wife and four daughters ahead of him to Europe while he finished up some business. Their ship, the Ville du Havre, was struck by another vessel in the middle of the Atlantic. His wife survived, but all four of his precious daughters drowned in those dark, cold waters.When Horatio received the telegram with just two words, "Saved alone," his world crumbled. This was awful beyond imagination. But as he sailed to meet his grieving wife, passing over the very spot where his children had died, he penned these words: "When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll, whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul."Now that's a theology sturdy enough for the awful.But here's what I've learned in my years of walking with folks through their valleys and mountaintops: God doesn't just show up in the dramatic moments. He's there in the ordinary Tuesday morning when you're drinking your coffee and wondering what the point of it all is. He's there in the mundane moments when you're folding laundry for the hundredth time this month. He's there in the routine that sometimes feels like you're just going through the motions.The apostle Paul knew something about this rhythm. He wrote, "I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:12-13).See, Paul had a theology that worked in prison and in palaces, in shipwrecks and in success. He understood that the amazing seasons are gifts to be treasured, the awful seasons are classrooms for character, and the ordinary seasons are where we learn to find God in the everyday rhythms of life.History is just HIS story, and we're all part of this beautiful, messy, amazing narrative that God is writing. Some chapters are breathtaking, some are heartbreaking, and some are just the steady, faithful plodding that gets us from one chapter to the next.So today, wherever you find yourself in life's rhythm, remember that God is with you. If you're in an amazing season, breathe it in deep and give thanks. If you're holding on through something awful, know that this too shall pass and God's grace is sufficient. And if you're in one of those ordinary, routine stretches, look for God in the small moments, because He's there, preparing you for whatever comes next.After all, we serve a God who turns water into wine, mourning into dancing, and ashes into beauty. And sometimes, He does His most important work in the quiet, ordinary moments when nobody's watching but Him.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
As much as we'd like it to be otherwise, the fact is that the world we live in is violent and uncertain. What is certain is that God promised His children supernatural peace - even in the midst of conditions that threaten to absolutely overwhelm us. Chip unpacks how God's peace works and how you can have it – even in a broken world.Introduction: Are you feeding or starving your fear?

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus to be irresistible and fascinating and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in Philippians 4 "I Can Almost Do All Things".
It is a very special FRI-YAY! It is Pastor Jeff's birthday! Happy birthday, Pastor Jeff. We appreciate you! Today we learn that Jesus didn't come to be served—He came to serve. And He asks us to treat our families that same way: with love, humility, and respect. Philippians 2:3-5 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.
I have so many young people in my life, my family, and my circles of influence whom I love deeply. My desire for them is not to be mired in anxiety, but to experience the “peace of God, which transcends all understanding." A chapter-a-day podcast from Philippians 4. The text version may always be found and shared at tomvanderwell.com.
