ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! In this episode, Ben Berggreen breaks down a high-conviction short opportunity in the energy space, triggered by a sudden shift in ISM sector data and weakening fundamentals in major oilfield service companies. Focusing on Schlumberger, he outlines a bearish calendar put spread targeting downside into earnings, with a 3:1 reward-to-risk profile. Ben also explores a broader macro angle, noting softening crude oil positioning among large speculators and offering an alternative, simpler XLE put play to capture a September–October market pullback. Both setups aim to combine macro, fundamental, and technical alignment for maximum edge.   ITPM Flash Episode 86 A Slippery Slope with Ben Berggreen || Filmed 11-Aug-2025, Uploaded 14-Aug-2025 ||

Nossos sócios Luiz Eduardo Portella, Sarah Campos e Tomás Goulart debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, os destaques foram a repercussão do último relatório de emprego dos EUA e possíveis mudanças na composição do Federal Reserve. O presidente Donald Trump indicou, para um mandato temporário no board do Fed, Stephen Miran, atual presidente do Conselho de Assessores Econômicos. A escolha foi interpretada como um movimento para tornar a autoridade monetária mais alinhada ao presidente. Paralelamente, a leitura mais fraca dos dados de emprego levou algumas consultorias globais a colocar no radar a possibilidade de um corte de 50 bps na reunião de setembro. De dado econômico, tivemos o ISM de serviços, que veio pior do que o esperado, com fraqueza em novas ordens e reafirmando um enfraquecimento no mercado de trabalho. Também entrou em vigor o novo pacote de tarifas de importação norte-americanas, reforçando preocupações com o comércio global. No Brasil, a semana começou com a decretação da prisão domiciliar do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro por participação nos atos do domingo anterior. O episódio provocou forte reação de deputados bolsonaristas, que chegaram a assumir temporariamente a presidência da Câmara em protesto. Após negociações, foi firmado um acordo para votação de pautas de interesse do grupo, restabelecendo a normalidade na Casa. No campo econômico, a ata do Copom veio levemente mais dovish que o esperado, com o Banco Central mais confiante na desaceleração da atividade, embora mantendo a sinalização de juros elevados por período prolongado. Os dados de mercado de trabalho de junho ficaram ligeiramente abaixo das projeções, mas ainda indicam um mercado aquecido. Nos mercados internacionais, os juros dos Treasuries abriram taxa após forte fechamento na semana anterior (Treasury de 2 anos: +8 bps). As bolsas americanas avançaram — S&P 500 +2,34%, Nasdaq +3,61% e Russell 2000 +2,53% — e o dólar (DXY) recuou 0,89%, refletindo um enfraquecimento global da moeda. No Brasil, a curva de juros fechou (Jan/31: -17 bps), o Ibovespa subiu 2,68% e o real se valorizou 1,90% frente ao dólar. Para a próxima semana, o foco estará no IPCA e nos indicadores de atividade no Brasil, enquanto, nos EUA, a atenção se volta para a divulgação dos números de inflação.

La referencia deja a los índices estadounidenses en rojo. En resultados empresariales, lote mixto. Caterpillar incumple las expectativas debido a la floja demanda de equipos de construcción y advierte de un impacto de hasta 1.500 millones de dólares por los costes vinculados a los aranceles.

In the US today so far, Wall St closed lower as investors digested weak economic data against the latest tariff threats out of President Trump. ISM services index data flatlined for July adding to stagflation concerns in the US while stocks also came under pressure after Trump told CNBC that tariffs on chips and pharmaceuticals are coming soon. The S&P 500 ended the day down 0.5%, the Nasdaq dropped 0.65% and the Dow Jones ended the session down 0.14%.In Europe overnight, markets in the region closed mostly higher despite President Trump saying he will unveil new tariffs in the near future. The STOXX 600 rose 0.1%, Germany's DAX added 0.4%, the French CAC fell 0.1% and, in the UK, the FTSE 100 ended the day up 0.1%.Across the Asia region on Tuesday markets closed higher led by South Korea's Kospi index adding 1.6%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng climbed 0.92%, China's CSI index added 0.4% and Japan's Nikkei ended the day up 0.64%.The local market started the new trading week in the green with a 1.23% surge on Tuesday as all sectors ended the day in positive territory following strength on Wall St on Monday night. Discretionary and financials were the best performing sectors with gains of 1.81% and 1.49% respectively, while staples managed the lowest gain with 0.34%.Australian consumer confidence rose to 90.6 points, the highest since May 2022, following easing inflation data and expectations of an interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia. The ANZ-Roy Morgan index saw significant improvements in both current and future financial conditions, with a 0.25% rate reduction anticipated this month.Telix Pharmaceuticals (ASX:TLX) plunged over 8% after it flagged higher operating expenses in the first half of the fiscal year to be around 36% of revenue for 1H25.Austal (ASX:ASB) added over 7.5% as it finalised its agreement with the federal government to become the country's leading defence shipbuilder. The company also impressed investors with a guidance update for FY25 with the new guidance expectation for EBIT of no less than $100m for the 12-months, higher than the previous guidance of no less than $80m.And Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS) rocketed 43% on Tuesday after announcing it has secured an order for a drone defence capability based on a new type of high-power laser, to the value of $125m (71.4million euros) from a European NATO Member State. The order is a world first export order for a 100-kilowatt class laser defence system.What to watch today:On the commodities front this morning, oil is trading 1.66% lower at US$65.20/barrel, gold is up 0.16% at US$3379/ounce and iron ore is up 1.21% at US$100.77/tonne.The Aussie dollar has strengthened against the greenback to buy 64.72 US cents, 95.56 Japanese Yen, 48.62 British Pence and 1 New Zealand dollar and 10 cents.Ahead of the midweek trading session the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX will open the new trading day up 0.13.Trading ideas:Bell Potter has significantly increased the 12-month price target on Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS) from $3.75 to $5.00 and maintain a buy rating on the defence manufacturer after the company secured its latest order valued at 71.4m euro. The new laser counter-drone capability was developed by EOS to address the urgent market need and emerging strategic requirement to defend against drone swarm attacks at an economical cost.And Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on AGL Energy (ASX:AGL) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 34-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may rise from the close of $10.00 to the range of $10.45 to $10.55 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

"Progress" toward economic authoritarianism

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news US President Trump is "making progress" is bending independent agencies (BLS, the US Fed) to respond to what is best for him, rather than the US economy.But the week ahead will all be focused locally on Wednesdays Household Labour Force survey results for July. Our jobless rate is expected to rise to 5.3% from 5.1% in June (and May). That would make it its highest since 2016 and exceeding anything we had in the pandemic period.Elsewhere the week will feature a raft of PMI and factory order releases. Plus, China will release key trade and inflation data.But the big economic driver for the week will be market reactions to Trump's tariff-war moves and his drive to bend both the Fed and the economic data agencies in the US to show fealty to him and avoid any negative reports. On Friday they sensed all this isn't good for the US economy and turned sharply risk averse even though corporate earnings reports have stayed positive.And that was because of Trump's response to official data he didn't like. He moved to fire the head of the data agency who reported it.Then a voting Fed official resigned, giving him a chance to twist more independence out of this crucial institution.The release of the July US labour market report showed the headline jobs gain was only +73,000 when +110,000 was expected. But worse, the June data was revised sharply lower to just +14,000 from the original +147,000. Their jobless rate edged higher to 4.2%. The number of people unemployed for at least 27 weeks has topped 1.8 mln now, the highest since the pandemic. Wage growth for the low-paid was unusually weak. This is a huge miss and there were sharp financial market reactions.Those are the seasonally adjusted numbers. The actual numbers are much worse, down -1,066,000 in July from June. To be fair much of that actual shrinkage is seasonal, but at 159.3 mln people employed, that is lower than in November 2024 when Trump won office.But with this July stumble in their labour market, it will be no surprise to know that the ISM factory PMI shows the same sharp retreat. In June this PMI was contracting with a 49.0 index level. It was expected to improve to a smaller contraction of 49.5. (An index level of 50 is the fulcrum between expansion and contraction.) But it went the other way, deepening its contraction to 48.0. Driving the retreat were new orders and order backlogs contracting, along with input costs increasing and exports falling. Overall, this is reporting their factory sector is contracting faster. (The internationally benchmarked S&P Global/Markit factory PMI version also reported a sharp drop info contraction in July, also largely on stagnating new order levels.)In China, like the official China factory PMIs had signaled, the independent Caixin PMI also signaled that their factory sector went backwards in July too. The Caixin survey isn't as negative as the official survey, but it now shows the overall sector in contraction. The Caixin survey tends to account better for mid-sized private manufacturers whereas the official survey includes the very large state-owned enterprises.China recognises the need to do more to stimulate internal consumption, and they are now committed to using subsidies as a key tool. Essentially they are subsidising trade-in prices to generate sales of new items. The target is to raise this subsidy level to ¥300 bln in 2025. On Friday they announced another ¥69 bln in ultra-long special treasury bonds will be issued for this purpose, the fourth tranche in the program.Another policy action announced on Friday involves their war on "involution", which they take to mean excessive or irresponsible competition involving a general race to the bottom. It was a feature of their housing crisis, and is a big worry for their car manufacturing industry. Top-down pressure to rein in this sort of behaviour is intense now. In fact, BYD is now indicating their production levels will be lower in future.However in Japan, Toyota has told suppliers that it aims to boost 2025 global production to about 10 million vehicles, underpinned by strong sales of hybrids despite concerns over the impact of American tariffs. (In the US, carmaker Ford is noting that tariffs are not helping them.)In Singapore, the latest PMI readings painted a mixed manufacturing outlook with the electronics sector in continued expansion whereas the overall manufacturing sector reverted to a marginal contraction. Declining now order levels caused the shift.In India, the growth of factory orders and production strengthened in July, driving their factory PMI up to an impressive 59.1, although that was a touch less than the result expected. Indian factories are easily the star of the show on a global basis.The EU released its July inflation data on Friday, and there were no surprises there with inflation stable at 2.0% in the Euro area. The overall level is still being restrained by falls in energy costs.Australian producer prices rose 3.4% over the past year to June, down from a 3.7% rate in the year to March, and down from a 4.8% rate in the year to June 2024. Cost pressures are still high, but they are easing, even if slowly.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.22%, up +1 bps from Saturday, down -18 bps for the week.The price of gold will start today at US$3,362/oz, up +US$14 from Saturday.American oil prices have slipped back again, now just over US$67/bbl with the international Brent price holding at US$69.50/bbl. A week ago these prices were US$65 and US$68.50/bbl. OPEC has agreed a big increase in oil production. And we should probably note another fall in North American oil rigs in action, now down to their lowest level since September 2021.The Kiwi dollar is at 59.2 USc and up +20 bps from Saturday but down nearly -1c from a week ago. Over all of July the fall was -180 bps. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 91.5 AUc. Against the euro we are down -40 bps at 51.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.1, unchanged from Saturday, down -60 bps for the weekThe bitcoin price started today at US$114,109 and up +0.8% from this time Saturday, but down -2.0% from a week ago.

Nossos sócios Luiz Eduardo Portella, Sarah Campos e Yara Cordeiro debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, o destaque foi a decisão do Fed, que manteve os juros inalterados, como esperado. O Powell adotou tom um pouco mais hawk na conferência de imprensa, evitando sinalizar corte em setembro e reforçando a necessidade de observar os próximos dados de inflação e emprego. O payroll decepcionou, principalmente por conta das expressivas revisões baixistas dos dois meses anteriores. O ISM de manufaturas veio fraco, com destaque negativo para o componente de emprego; e o PIB do 2º trimestre trouxe headline forte, apesar da demanda doméstica fraca. A tensão com o Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) aumentou após críticas e demissão da líder de estatística por parte de Trump, que também indicará novo nome ao board do Fed após o anúncio de saída da dirigente Adriana Kugler. No Brasil, o Copom manteve a Selic em 15% e reforçou a necessidade de cautela, com possibilidade de retomada do ciclo de alta caso seja necessário. O mercado de trabalho seguiu robusto em junho. Em contrapartida, os indicadores de confiança (julho) e a produção industrial (junho) mostraram sinais de fraqueza, reforçando desaceleração da atividade. No campo comercial, o governo americano excluiu parte dos produtos brasileiros da tarifa adicional de 40%, postergando a vigência da medida para 07/08. O governo brasileiro segue indicando tentativa de negociação, mas já prepara pacote de ajuda aos setores mais afetados. Por fim, foi oficializada a sanção do ministro Alexandre de Moraes sob a Lei Magnitsky. Nos EUA, os juros fecharam (vértice de 1 ano -25 bps), e as bolsas recuaram – S&P 500 -2,36%, Nasdaq -2,19% e Russell 2000 -4,17%. O dólar (DXY) subiu 1,07%. No Brasil, os juros também fecharam (jan/31 -11 bps), o Ibovespa caiu 0,81% e o real subiu 0,40%.

In this Bible Study, we cover Leviticus chapter 15, which talks all about bodily discharges; both regularly occurring discharges as well as irregular ones. We will look at these in the context of being “clean” as it relates to the Israelites' ability to worship in the Tabernacle. We will also look at modern applications as we look at our filthy rags and our need to be cleansed. Outline:01:39 - Introduction02:14 - What does clean and unclean mean in Leviticus?07:04 - How does a “discharge” differ from a “defiling skin disease” of Lev 13-14. Psalm 19.12 - “cleanse me from my hidden faults.”08:05 - Leviticus 15.1-308:42 - What is an unusual bodily discharge? Word study: “Body” bāśār בָּשָׂר. “Discharge” zûḇ זוּב. Ex 3.8.12:57 - Leviticus 15.4-12. Unusual bodily discharges for men and the repercussions of them. What are examples of bodily discharges that Leviticus 15.1-12 is talking about? Diarrhea, Puss, and Gonorrhea?17:18 - Leviticus 15.13-15. Outline of what must be done for a man who has an unusual (not regular) bodily discharge to be cleansed. Included waiting 7 days, cleaning, and then bringing an offering (2 doves or 2 young pigeons); one for a sin offering, the other for a burnt offering.19:09 - Leviticus 15.16-18. Regularly occurring male discharges.21:51 - Leviticus 15.19-24. Regularly occurring female discharges.24:00 - Leviticus 15.25-27. Irregularly occurring female discharges.25:07 - Leviticus 15.28-30. Outline of what a woman must do to be cleansed from irregular discharges (including waiting 7 days, cleaning, and then bringing an offering (2 doves or 2 young pigeons); one for a sin offering, the other for a burnt offering.26:35 - Luke 8.40-48 - The woman who had been bleeding for 12 years who touched Jesus' hem and was healed. Heb 10:10, “we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Rom 5.8, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us”31:56 - Leviticus 15.31-33. God designed the human body, he designed the reproductive system, both the male system as well as the female system. They are amazing and beautiful and not to be ashamed of. The same is true with sex; it is designed by God and is an awesome gift from the Lord. Gen 1 & 2 we see God create them MALE & FEMALE (just 2), and they are given the charge to “be fruitful and increase in number” (Gen 2.28). Gen 2.24-25, “a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Matt 19.5-6, Jesus restates this and adds in “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Heb 13.4 - “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” More on Sexual Immorality read 1 Cor 6.9-20. 1 Cor 7.3-5 - actually instructs married couples to have regular intercourse. Seriously, read it. Sex is an amazing, beautiful thing that is a gift from God for us to experience in marriage.38:50 - Application. Lev 15.31, “You must keep the Israelites separate from things that make them unclean.”We need to avoid things that keep us unclean today as well. A modern application for this today is looking at how sin makes us “unclean” and hinders us. Hebrews 12.1-3. We today can approach the lord in our filthy rags, but we also ought to avoid intentionally messing around with things that will trip us up.Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgBe notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD

What happens when you target the root cause of indolent systemic mastocytosis? In this episode of The Itch Review, we unpack key findings from the article “Avapritinib versus Placebo in Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis,” published on May 23, 2023, in NEJM Evidence. Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis (ISM) is a rare chronic disease with life-altering symptoms. Until recently, treatment options were limited. We break down new data from Part 2 of the PIONEER study, which evaluated Avapritinib, a targeted therapy designed to inhibit the KIT D816V mutation that drives ISM. Dr. Gupta and Dr. Blaiss explain how Avapritinib works, how the study was designed, and what outcomes were measured, including the Total Symptom Score (TSS). Most importantly, we explore what this treatment could mean for patients with moderate to severe ISM. INFOGRAPHIC What we cover in our episode about avapritinib versus placebo: Understanding ISM: How the KIT D816V mutation causes overproduction and overactivation of mast cells. Why current treatment falls short: The limitations of best supportive care and why many patients remain symptomatic despite multiple medications. How Avapritinib works: A tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets the KIT mutation directly, aiming to reduce mast cell activation at its source. Inside the PIONEER trial: Study design, eligibility criteria, and how outcomes like Total Symptom Score (TSS) and serum tryptase were measured. What the data showed: Improvements in symptoms, lab markers, and quality of life and what this could mean for long-term ISM care. The Itch Review, hosted by Dr. Gupta, Kortney, and Dr. Blaiss, explores allergy and immunology studies, breaking down complex research in conversations accessible to clinicians, patients, and caregivers. Each episode provides key insights from journal articles and includes a one-page infographic in the show notes for easy reference.   Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

Leprosy as a picture of sin (based on Leviticus 13&14)

Leprosy is a picture (a metaphor for sin). We see in Leviticus 13-14 a description of leprosy (defiling skin diseases) that paints a picture of what sin is like and what has been done for us as a result of it.We see in Leviticus 13 that Sin Spreads (Lev 13.5-8), and that Sin Defiles & Isolates us (Lev 13.44-46). Sin desensatises us, it deadens our nerves (just like leprosy does). We see in Leviticus 14 the process that the sick person went through to be cleansed: First, the Priest went to the leper (Lev 14.1-3) - Jesus came to us (Luke 19.10, and Matt 18.12-14). Second, a sacrifice was offered (Lev 14.8-20) - Jesus is our sacrificial lamb (Heb 9.22, 10.1-25; John 1.29; 1 Cor 5.7; 1 John 4.9-10, and John 3.16). Three, the sick person had to do something; they had to act. In Leviticus, they were responsible for cleaning themselves (Lev 14.8-9). Today, we too have to do something, we have to act, and that simple act is accepting the sacrifice that was made in our place (Rom 10.9-10, 13).In looking at Leviticus 13 and 14, we see a picture of what sin does to us, and what God has done to free us from it!Outline:00:45 - Introduction to Leprosy (disease) as a picture of sin.02:23 - Sin is more than skin deep.

Do patients and their healthcare teams view the impact of indolent systemic mastocytosis on quality of life in the same way? In this episode of The Itch Review, we unpack key findings from a May 4, 2025, descriptive study from The Journal of the Advanced Practitioner in Oncology, “Patient and Advanced Practitioner Perspectives on Symptom Burden and Symptom Management in Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis.” Is there a disconnect between what patients feel and what providers think when it comes to indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM)? A new study suggests yes, revealing a mismatch between how patients and advanced practitioners (APs) perceive disease control and what that means for care. This episode dives into whether research like this could help bridge the gap between patient experience and clinical perspective. What we cover in our episode about the indolent systemic mastocytosis: Understanding ISM: What makes indolent systemic mastocytosis a unique multisystem condition? Symptom burden explained: Frequency, severity, duration, distress, and functional interference.

We are continuing our way through the clean and unclean segment of Leviticus (chapters 11-15). In this Bible study we look at the purification rites associated with giving birth to a child. Dave talks again about what it means to be “clean” and “unclean.” Dave does spend a good deal of time talking about circumcision, as it is solidified in the law as a requirement of all Jewish boys on the 8th day. What does Paul mean when he speaks of circumcision of the heart?Outline:00:13 - Introduction Clean & unclean segment 11-1501:14 - Unclean is not bad, and clean is not necessarily “good” it is simply a label for a person to know whether they have properly prepared, set themselves apart to go to the tabernacle and participate in a worship service. It is neither bad nor good, but more so “clear” or “not clear” for worship. God made provision for the cleansing and restoration of anyone who became “unclean” or “defiled.” Remember, unclean is not necessarily “bad.” In chapter 15, we will talk about discharges, which have to do with both the male and the female reproductive system, which God designed and called “good.”05:23 - Read all of Leviticus 1206:47 - Blood is important as it relates to the sacrifices as well as to cleanliness. 07:43 - Leviticus 12.2 - A son or a daughterCeremonially unclean for 7 days. (8th day, circumcise the boy - we will discuss) - Then wait 33 days before going to the temple. A total wait of 40 days.07:43 - Why was there a period of time after a woman gives birth when she is called “unclean?”10:30 - Why is there a difference between a son and a daughter as it relates to how long the purification time should be?13:16 - Leviticus 12.3 - Circumcision Gen 17:10-14; 12.2-3; 21.4; Luke 2.21; Jer 4.4; Phil 3.4-9; Rom 2.25-29; Col 2.10-11; Eph 2.8-9Paul is saying that circumcision is an outward sign of being set apart for God. But even if you have that outward sign, yet inside are sinful, the outward sign is pointless. A circumcised body and a sinful heart are at odds with each other.Paul says that we ought to focus on the condition of the heart.You are the Lord's, do you acknowledge that with your heart and your lips? Don't worry about your outward signs, your “good deeds.” Worry first about your heart and your personal, intimate relationship with God.26:33 - Leviticus 12.6-8A burnt offering and a sin offering.CEB & the NABRE - have “purification offering” for Lev 5.Luke 2.22-24Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgBe notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD

We start a new segment of Leviticus, looking at what is “clean” and “unclean” for the Israelites. We must remember that “unclean” is not necessarily bad, it just means that it is not holy or fit for use in worship of God in the tabernacle. Being “clean” or “unclean” was a designation related to someone's ability to participate in the worship at the tabernacle. If you were “unclean,” you had to go through the cleansing process to become “clean” in order to enter the tabernacle courtyard. It was all about being set apart and prepared to approach the Lord. In this Bible study, we look at the first of 5 chapters on cleanliness, looking at what foods are clean and unclean. Outline:06:16 - Overview of Leviticus 11-15Leviticus 11 - food - what is clean and may be eaten, and what is unclean and not to be eatenLeviticus 12 - cleanliness and purification after childbirthLeviticus 13 - skin diseases, fungus & moldsLeviticus 14 - cleansing skin diseases, fungus & moldsLeviticus 15 - discharges causing uncleanness01:17 - Why are these chapters on cleanliness here? Why are they so odd at times? What was their purpose? Why did all this even exist in the first place - IT MAKES NO SENSE. Give me just a few minutes and I will give a quick explanationThe principal duties of the Israelite priesthood1. Distinguish between the Holy and the common2. Distinguish between the unclean and the clean3. Teach the decrees of the LordExo 19.6 God calls Israel to be a Holy nation, a kingdom of priestsGal 3.23-25, The law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. KJV - Schoolmaster. AMP - tutor and our disciplinarian. RSV - Custodian. TLB - teacher and guide.Application:This call to be set apart did not just exist for the Jews in Moses' day. It exists for us today. Jesus, in the opening of the Sermon on the Mount, he said, Mat 5.14-16 - “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.”13:44 - Leviticus 11.1-3What is a divided hoof?What is chewing the cud?16:09 - Leviticus 11.4-5Hyrax - A small rabbit-like creature (Coney, rock badger, or a sharphan).Psa 104.18Pro 30.2617:11 - Leviticus 11.6 - Do rabbits chew the cud?

Send us a textISMS that Poison the Soul Pessimism | Part 6Senior Pastor Keith StewartJune 1, 2025The late Sam Shoemaker once said, "Everyone has a problem, is a problem, or lives with a problem." But what if I told you that your problem is not nearly as problematic as what you tell yourself about your problem. More often than not, what defeats us in life is the thinking that lies beneath our behaviors. Call it our explanatory style. It's the things we tell ourselves when things don't turn out right or go as expected. This final ISM has sabotaged more relationships, defeated more initiatives, and ruined more lives than practically all the other ISMS combined. This Sunday we take on pessimism along with God's remedy for the negative outlook that robs us of so much in life._____________DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Pastor Keith defined pessimism (or the grasshopper mentality) as anytime we allow problems, attitudes, or circumstances to cause us to doubt God and believe that we will lack the resources, ability, or strength to do what He wants done. Have you ever fallen victim to pessimism? What situation were you dealing with? How did it affect you? What if any resolution did you ultimately have? 2. There are three defining characteristics of pessimistic thoughts. A belief that our problems are permanent, pervasive and personal. Go back and review this part of the message or the notes you took. The attitudes define our explanatory style – the things we tell ourselves about our problems. What were your biggest takeaways from this portion of the message? Have you ever personally struggled with one or more of these ways of thinking? When we use these as an explanation for our problems, they become a type of self-fulfilling prophecy. In other words, we find what we're looking for. Have you ever known anyone like this or been this way yourself? What would you suggest to a person caught up in this way of thinking? 3. What did we learn from Caleb's life and example? How was he able to choose faith over pessimism?  4. Is your faith weak? Then feed on the Word of God. Like John Piper reminded us, “Faith feeds on the word of God, without a steady diet it gets weaker and weaker. If you are dissatisfied with your Christian courage and joy and purity of heart then check the way you're feeding your faith.” Try to name as many ways as you can that the Word of God builds your faith. What has been your personal experience with God's Word as a faith-builder? What stories have impacted you most? What promises? What precepts? Or what do you see in the character of God that encourages your faith? 5. This week, make a list of promises from God's Word that can help keep your eyes focused on God during whatever difficulties you may encounter. If you're not sure how to do this, talk about it in your small group. Better yet, as a group or among your friends, have everyone make a contribution regarding their favorite promises to claim. Once you have made a list of verses or references, type them up to keep in your notes on your phone, or print them up and post them where you will see them frequently. Commit to memorizing as many as you can.
