POPULARITY
Pride isn't just loud or boastful. It's sneaky, wearing all kinds of masks. Whether it's hiding in hardship, lurking in leadership, or veiled in virtue, pride's many faces must be confronted with humility, honesty, and grace. Only then can we truly be conformed into the image of Christ—free from the subtle snares of Leviathan.Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell continues his Deliverance series by diving deep into the complexities of pride, exploring what scripture calls "the spirit of Leviathan"—a multi-headed beast representing chaos and the many faces of pride.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 9 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website
1 Timothy 6 says that servants must honourably bare the responsibility of faithful service. The chapter next sounds a warning against false teachers and this is followed by one of the greatest, and possibly the hardest, lesson to learn – ie that godliness with contentment is the greatest profit a believer can have in life. We can take nothing with us when we die. All that is important is the legacy that the Almighty sees – a life of devotion to Him and service to others – a life rich in good works. To pursue any other course is a guarantee of frustration and sorrow (just as Balaam found out). Verse 10 tells us, “the love of money” (Greek “philaguros” – literally “lover of silver” which has in Greek the numeric value of 666) is ‘a root of all kinds of evil'. In verses 11-16 Timothy (and each believer) is urged to fight the fight of faith following the example of the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave a faithful witness before Pontius Pilate – costing our Lord Jesus his life. Jesus will, on his return to earth, set up the glorious kingdom of God demonstrating the power and honour of the King Invisible (God the Almighty Father) and the benefits that will come to those who live life by this guide. The letter concludes with a reminder to safeguard the deposit which had been committed to Timothy and a charge to the rich to avoid pride. The rich are counselled to use their God given resources to benefit others (the lesson being based on the life of Hezekiah cp2 Kings 20 verses 12-16). Let us learn godliness with contentment; richness in faith and loving works to others – pause and ponder.

Everyone stumbles at some point; we all stray from the path of God's light. But what should we do when we fall? In today's message, Pastor Richard reminds us that it's never too late to return to the Lord after falling into sin. When we falter, God doesn't cast us aside; instead, He reaches out to help us rise and find our way back. This is what makes God's love so amazing: even when we fail, He welcomes us back with open arms.
Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, leaving you feeling like giving up? It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the challenges that the enemy throws at us. In today's message, Pastor Richard reminds us that the enemy's fate has already been determined. Ultimately, God is victorious and will triumph over evil. So, when it feels like the enemy is gaining the upper hand in your life, remember that Jesus has already won the victory!

The LORD's judgment of Babylon's pride means salvation for God's people. No longer will they be slaves, but they will rule with the LORD. For that reason, Isaiah invites the people of God to join in the song of victory over Babylon. The power that thought itself more mighty than the LORD has been slain, never to rise again, for the LORD has spoken. This is true for Assyria in Isaiah's day; it is true for every power that sets itself against the LORD and His people. Any nation, such as Philistia, that thinks this is the opportunity to break free, is only fooling itself. The only refuge to be found is in the LORD, who dwells among His people in Zion. Rev. Ryan Ogrodowicz, pastor at Grace Lutheran Church and School in Brenham, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 14:1-32. "The Fifth Evangelist” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through Isaiah 1-39. The prophet proclaims to the people of his day and throughout history that the Holy One of Israel alone is exalted. Those who put their trust in the strength of man will be brought low, but those who trust in the LORD will see that He is their Immanuel. Jesus is God with us who reigns over the kingdom of God forever and ever! Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

In Paul's absence, the Corinthian church had begun to follow new teachers who had positioned themselves as superior in numerous ways, all of which were worldly and pompous. They wanted Paul to be like them, bold, arrogant, provocative, and brash. Paul defends the authority he has over the Corinthian church as a true apostle and sarcastically boasts to compare himself to the ones he calls “Super-apostles.” These men were well-spoken, came with letters, and requested payment for their teaching, whereas Paul was humble, loyal, and worked without burdening the church financially. As he concludes, Paul assures them that when he comes, he will not be lenient, but rather he will come with boldness in order to build up the body.2 Corinthians 10 - 1:13 . 2 Corinthians 11 - 4:29 . 2 Corinthians 12 - 11:06 . 2 Corinthians 13 - 15:49 .
