Have you ever faced the heartbreak of a dream that didn't come true? That kind of grief is real, and it runs deep. But I want you to know—you are not alone. Jesus Himself understands sorrow. The Bible tells us that He was… …a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. He knows what it is to weep, to feel the weight of heavy loss. And yet, He promises that sorrow is not the end of your story. If you're walking through grief right now, don't rush past it. Let Jesus carry you through it, and that will bring you healing and peace, and a joy that will be restored at just the right time. You can begin your new life with Jesus today. Invite Jesus to transform your life and carry you in your grief. You are not alone. You are seen, and you are loved. And there is hope ahead for you. Always remember, there is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau. "He was despised and rejected—     a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.     He was despised, and we did not care." Isaiah 53:3 radio.hopewithgod.com

Read OnlineMany of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother [Lazarus, who had died]. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” John 11:19–22Today's memorial is relatively new within our Church. In the year 2021, Pope Francis replaced the Memorial of Saint Martha with this memorial in honor of all three siblings: Martha, Mary and Lazarus. In commenting on the reason for this new memorial, the Congregation for Divine Worship stated: “Martha generously offered him hospitality, Mary listened attentively to his words, and Lazarus promptly emerged from the tomb at the command of the One who humiliated death.” Furthermore, these three siblings gave an evangelical witness to us all. They model for us how to be Christians within our imperfections. They did this by welcoming Jesus into their home, by listening to Him attentively, and by believing that He is the Resurrection and the Life. These three siblings each had their own unique personality and loved Jesus in their own way. Though not much is said about Lazarus' personal interactions with Jesus, we do have some helpful insights into both Martha and Mary. In one Gospel story, Martha complained to Jesus that her sister left her to do all the cooking. Jesus gently corrected her. Mary, on the other hand, gave a witness of deep prayer and love of Jesus by sitting at His feet listening to Him. However, in the story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead, there is a reversal of roles. Martha is the one who runs out to meet Jesus and expresses her deep faith in Him. Mary, on the other hand, heard that Jesus was coming and appeared to stay at home because she was upset. Perhaps the most helpful way to ponder these siblings is to acknowledge two things. First, they are now saints in Heaven enjoying eternal beatitude and glory. Second, on earth they were people of faith and love, but they were also very clearly imperfect. Therefore, the witness they give to us should be twofold. We hope to share in the glory in which they now share, and we trust this will happen if we also befriend our Lord and welcome Him into our homes, imperfect though we may be. Reflect, today, upon this holy but imperfect family. The imperfections and manifest weaknesses of these three siblings should encourage us to press on in our practice of the faith when things are not perfect in our lives either. There are many reasons why we might get discouraged or feel like doubting or giving up at times. Perhaps things are not perfect within the Church—or at the particular church you attend. Perhaps you are struggling with loving someone in your family. Perhaps you are struggling with an emotional issue. Perhaps there is some sin you seem to be incapable of overcoming. Perhaps you struggle with a physical ailment and wonder why God permitted it to happen. If you are able to relate to any of these, or any other forms of imperfection, then take inspiration from this family of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. Invite Jesus into the home of your heart, your family home and everywhere you go. He will come, gently correct you when needed, and give you the gift of new life, raising you up from your sins and weaknesses. Lord, You befriended this ordinary family of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. You visited their home, received their hospitality, gently corrected them when needed and eventually raised them to the new life of eternal glory. May I also welcome You into the home of my soul, within my family and into every aspect of my life. Please come to me and raise me to the newness of the life of grace. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Jesus raises Lazarus by Lawrence OP, license CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.

How Jesus dealt with the worst accusations - Fr. Lucas Laborde. Click here for today's readings.What fuels your activity? How is Jesus inviting you to see the outcomes of your activity and to deal with criticism? Invite Jesus today to pour his sentiments into your heart.

Being an apprentice of Jesus involves not just following but being sent, to ‘go and make [apprentices] of all nations'. Jesus sent His disciples to ‘do the stuff' (e.g. Luke 9:1-2 and 13 ‘You give them something to eat'). Jesus evaluated their mission trips, He received progress reports. He challenged and encouraged them.In this talk, Rachel Clark asks what is the ‘stuff' Jesus has for us today? What does it look like to be sent by Him to do the things He would do and where are we sent? How does He equip us?At the end of this talk, Rachel asks 3 questions for us to think about: Invite Jesus to show you how much he cares for you.What would Jesus do if he were [INSERT YOUR NAME]?What habits will help you keep your attention fixed on Jesus?

Episode 172: Ways to Engage Jesus in Everyday LifeHow do we engage Jesus in the process of everyday life? 1. To engage Him in our day to day activities, we must invite Him in and ask for His help.2. We should engage Jesus in our daily decisions. Invite Jesus in and ask for His wisdom and His help as you make simple decisions and difficult decisions.3. We are to engage Him in all areas - including our finances, filing our taxes, etc. - and let Him guide us.4.. As you set goals, make plans, or take your next steps - engage Jesus into the process of setting these goals, making these plans, and taking these steps. Allow time to pray - maybe even 30 days - praying and listening.5. Engaging is talking, listening, and reading God's word. Allow some quiet time and wait to hear from Him. Practice engaging the presence of Jesus.6. Engage Jesus in the hard season. Seek Him - not for the answer - but because He IS The Answer. Engage Him because this is the time that you can grow and see your faith strengthened. He wastes nothing and He redeems everything.7. Engage Him and ask Him to help you lead others to Him.Scripture Reference: Hebrews 1:1-3 We hope this is an encouragement to you.CONNECT WITH US AT:▶︎Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/EngageforMore▶︎Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/engageformore/Engage for More is a Top 100 Christian Podcast on the Feedspot List.

We look at Jesus's first miracle at the wedding in Cana and uncover key principles to receiving favor: - Invite Jesus into your life. Just like Jesus was invited to the wedding, you must welcome Him into your life and circumstances. - Seek no glory but God's. Favor is not about personal recognition but about serving God's purpose. - Believe that God cares and be persistent. Trust that God is good, and keep your faith in His ability to help you. - Trust God's way. Whether through a miracle or a different path, God's way is always the best. Through powerful examples in Scripture—like the royal official's desperate plea for his son's healing and Peter's trust in Jesus during a challenging fishing trip—we see how God's favor flows when we invite Him in, trust His plan, and honor Him with all the glory. If you need favor in your life, this sermon will encourage you to trust God fully and seek His presence in your challenges.

Have you experienced rejection? Listen to this passage from the book of Ephesians in the Bible… Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. The loving embrace of our perfect Father can change your life forever. It's never too late to start again. No matter what you've done, you can be made new and clean through the powerful, loving sacrifice of Jesus. He died on the cross to wash away every sin, every wrong thing that you've ever done. Invite Jesus to be Lord of your life right now, and receive God's gift of love, acceptance, and belonging. Always remember there is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau.

Have you ever felt stuck in a rut? Like all you do is go to work, come home, eat, and sleep, just to go back to work and do it all over again the next morning? This endless cycle can feel maddening! But did you know that God never intended for our work to be a burden? In fact, God gave Adam the job of caretaker of the world as a GIFT – as an opportunity to partner with Himself! And guess what? Jesus is extending the same gift to you today! When you dedicate your work to God, you become a partner with Him. Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” Jesus wants to take your daily work and make it so much more than toil! He wants to partner with you in the redemption of the world! Invite Jesus into your work today.

What does it look like to invite Jesus into our recovery process? In this Part 2 episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, continues the conversation around some practical steps we can take to invite Jesus into our recovery process and the fruit we can expect from that very important life decision.

In Celebrate Recovery we understand that Jesus has to be the center of our recovery. But what does it look like practically to invite Jesus into our recovery process, and what is the fruit of that choice - whether we're just starting out or already on our recovery journey? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, begins to unpack this important topic.

If you saw a maniac become calm and sane, wouldn't you want to follow the One who had healed him? But the crowds who witnessed that very miracle chose to run Jesus out of town. When people turn their backs on Jesus and say, “Get out,” He leaves. But wherever we invite Jesus, He will come. Let's invite Jesus into our lives today.

Have you ever wondered if God speaks more loudly through our feasts and fasts, than He does through our mundane, ordinary circumstances? In this episode in our “Come to the Table” series on the Jewish and Christian feasts, Stephanie reflects on the significance of ordinary time, the ordinary moments of life. They are the backdrop to our feast days. They are the bulk of our time. The present, nestled between special feasts, serves as a space where believers are called to live in anticipation of Jesus' return and seek God's presence and delight in all moments. The question is, how did Jesus experience His own mundane and ordinary days? What does He wish to impart to us through them? So, Stephanie invites us to consider how the body of Christ functions during ordinary time, focusing on the importance of living in unity. This period of ordinary time is an opportunity for spiritual growth and for experiencing the lived reality of Jesus in everyday moments, celebrating the cyclical nature of the liturgical calendar. That word, liturgy. It can be ambiguous. Off-putting to some, attractive to others. Liturgy is simply the chosen flow of a service, or a day, or a life. It is how a particular local body of believers chooses to approach God, especially on Sundays but not only. It varies from church to church, with much to learn from the manifold practices of our brothers and sisters around the world. Stephanie's extensive personal experience with various church traditions, including Anglican, charismatic, reformed, Pentecostal, and non-denominational, highlights the diverse ways in which different traditions approach worship and liturgical practices. Understanding the concept of liturgy as the way a particular tradition conducts its services, including prayers, readings, and rituals, is an invitation into the richness and diversity within the body of Christ. Ordinary time is characterized by its lack of special feasts, representing the ordered life of the church and a period of watchfulness for the second coming of Jesus. Divided into two seasons, ordinary time serves as a call to unity within the body of Christ, inviting believers to keep Jesus at the center of mundane routines. Within ordinary time, we have weekly min-feasts called Sabbaths. So, how did Jesus experience them? How do Sabbaths fit at the table of God's Presence? Sabbath is associated with rest, refreshment, freedom, and joy, serving as a day of rest and a reminder of humanity's co-partnership with God. Stephanie discusses Jesus' claim of authority over the Sabbath, highlighting how He emphasized its wholesome nature to be a source of blessing. The Sabbath is a time of rest and delight, providing a sacred space to experience God's presence and embrace His joy. Today, we invite you to embrace the beauty of ordinary days, seek unity in the body of Christ, and live in hopeful expectation while finding rest and delight in the Sabbath. We invite you to cultivate a lifelong liturgy of delight in Christ, breathing new life into everyday moments as we journey towards the eagerly anticipated return of Jesus. Join us! OPTIONAL RESOURCE | Stephanie mentions the creation of a liturgy booklet designed to cultivate a lifelong liturgy of delight in Christ. This booklet consists of short liturgies for everyday moments, aiming to inspire you in building and nurturing a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. The liturgical year is presented as a means to grow in intimacy with Christ, providing an avenue to know Him more intimately in everyday life. Go to gospelspice.com or ask us about it!

Pastor Andy continues in the series Journey Into Your Imagination. "Invite Jesus into everything you do"

The message from special guest, comedian Michael Jr., explores big ideas about God's love and how inviting Jesus into our lives can change everything. God's love is for everyone and it's important to really understand that. Using simple stories, this message shows how listening to God, like following directions on a GPS, helps us find our way through life's ups and downs. #OpenTheDoorToGod #LetJesusIn #LiquidChurch

Who do you think Jesus is? Some people think He was just a great teacher or a prophet. But Jesus shocked the religious people of His day when He made this bold statement, “Whoever obeys my teaching will never die.” They wondered- how could Jesus say such a thing when even the father of the faith, Abraham, had died? Did Jesus think he was better than Abraham? Jesus answered them, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!” When Jesus says, “I am,” He's claiming to be God. The one who was not created, but was The Creator who existed before time, and definitely before Abraham came along. Jesus is God in human form—truth with skin on. And He came to the earth as a sacrifice for many so that people like you and me could share in the eternal life that He offers. You can receive that gift of new life. Invite Jesus to be Lord of your life, today. radio.hopewithgod.com

What are you worried about today? God doesn't promise an easy life, but when you give your life to Him, He promises to be your help and support! He doesn't want the weight of worry and stress to crush you. The book of Philippians in the Bible says: Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. God wants to give peace—even in the midst of your worry. Have you received the peace God offers? He offers… …a relationship with Himself. …freedom from death. …His own blood for the forgiveness of your sins. …His powerful love! …peace so deep that it doesn't even make sense. Invite Jesus into your heart today—He is everything you need. radio.hopewithgod.com

Have you ever felt stuck in a rut? Like all you do is go to work, come home, eat, and sleep, just to go back to work and do it all over again the next morning? This endless cycle can feel maddening! But did you know that God never intended for our work to be a burden? In fact, God gave Adam the job of caretaker of the world as a GIFT – as an opportunity to partner with Himself! And guess what? Jesus is extending the same gift to you today! When you dedicate your work to God, you become a partner with Him. Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” Jesus wants to take your daily work and make it so much more than toil! He wants to partner with you in the redemption of the world! Invite Jesus into your work today.

Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother [Lazarus, who had died]. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” John 11:19–22Today's memorial is relatively new within our Church. In the year 2021, Pope Francis replaced the Memorial of Saint Martha with this memorial in honor of all three siblings: Martha, Mary and Lazarus. In commenting on the reason for this new memorial, the Congregation for Divine Worship stated: “Martha generously offered him hospitality, Mary listened attentively to his words, and Lazarus promptly emerged from the tomb at the command of the One who humiliated death.” Furthermore, these three siblings gave an evangelical witness to us all. They model for us how to be Christians within our imperfections. They did this by welcoming Jesus into their home, by listening to Him attentively, and by believing that He is the Resurrection and the Life.These three siblings each had their own unique personality and loved Jesus in their own way. Though not much is said about Lazarus' personal interactions with Jesus, we do have some helpful insights into both Martha and Mary. In one Gospel story, Martha complained to Jesus that her sister left her to do all the cooking. Jesus gently corrected her. Mary, on the other hand, gave a witness of deep prayer and love of Jesus by sitting at His feet listening to Him. However, in the story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead, there is a reversal of roles. Martha is the one who runs out to meet Jesus and expresses her deep faith in Him. Mary, on the other hand, heard that Jesus was coming and appeared to stay at home because she was upset.Perhaps the most helpful way to ponder these siblings is to acknowledge two things. First, they are now saints in Heaven enjoying eternal beatitude and glory. Second, on earth they were people of faith and love, but they were also very clearly imperfect. Therefore, the witness they give to us should be twofold. We hope to share in the glory in which they now share, and we trust this will happen if we also befriend our Lord and welcome Him into our homes, imperfect though we may be. Reflect, today, upon this holy but imperfect family. The imperfections and manifest weaknesses of these three siblings should encourage us to press on in our practice of the faith when things are not perfect in our lives either. There are many reasons why we might get discouraged or feel like doubting or giving up at times. Perhaps things are not perfect within the Church—or at the particular church you attend. Perhaps you are struggling with loving someone in your family. Perhaps you are struggling with an emotional issue. Perhaps there is some sin you seem to be incapable of overcoming. Perhaps you struggle with a physical ailment and wonder why God permitted it to happen. If you are able to relate to any of these, or any other forms of imperfection, then take inspiration from this family of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. Invite Jesus into the home of your heart, your family home and everywhere you go. He will come, gently correct you when needed, and give you the gift of new life, raising you up from your sins and weaknesses. Lord, You befriended this ordinary family of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. You visited their home, received their hospitality, gently corrected them when needed and eventually raised them to the new life of eternal glory. May I also welcome You into the home of my soul, within my family and into every aspect of my life. Please come to me and raise me to the newness of the life of grace. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2023 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.
