Life can give us so many things to worry about. Pastor Ray Bentley says believers don't have to fall victim to that. What can you do to reduce stress and that floating anxiety that attaches itself to anything negative that happens in your life? The spiritual antidote to that is a growing faith. If you could have a faith this year that would grow and that would reduce your anxiety level.

It is time this very minute to pray and seek God. Time to set our timers and pray for the minute. This podcast encourages us to stop for a minute and, now, in the presence of our Heavenly Father—with praise and prayer—worship Him in Jesus' name and in the power of the Holy Spirit. ———— *We do not own the rights to music played on this podcast.
Hebrews 2: Jesus For Us (Hebrews: Looking Unto Jesus) taught by Associate Pastor Justin Butorac on 05-04-25.
John 11:11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.)3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it.”5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days,7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”8 “But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?”9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world's light.10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.”13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”16 Then Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”Jesus Comforts the Sisters of Lazarus17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.18 Now Bethany was less than two miles[b] from Jerusalem,19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.”29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.35 Jesus wept.36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.39 “Take away the stone,” he said.“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” Focusing on the person of Jesus (Hebrews 12:1) Christ's Power in His Timing (Vv 1–7) Christ's Power in His Tears (Vv 28–37)Christ's Power in His Truth (Vv 21–27) Christ's Power in His Triumph (Vv. 38-44) Our Response
Are all the benefits of being a believer stored up for us on the other side of eternity. Pastor Ray Bentley says no, there's abundant life here as well. Heaven is not merely your future destination. Heaven is something that you can taste here and now because you know what makes heaven? Heaven. What makes heaven heavenly is Jesus, wherever Jesus is.

He explains how Jesus stands apart as the sinless leader who offered Himself once for all.Join us as we delve into how true faith in Christ differs from man-made efforts and religious rituals.Discover the freedom and assurance found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.00:00 - Introduction06:10 - LEADERSHIP: Priests with sin vs. Jesus the sinless17:06 - APPROVAL: Offering sacrifices vs. Receiving Jesus' sacrifice25:37 - SECURITY: Daily vs. Once for All**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/
Hebrews
I wonder if I speak to anyone that says, man, I need more peace. I need more rest in my soul. Pastor Ray Bentley points to where we can find real peace and rest for our souls. The harder the things go and the worse in one sense that the outside becomes and the greater the pressure becomes more and more a precious commodity clinging to the source of rest and peace Jesus Christ spread.
Jesus was in the heavenlies, reigning supreme, the creator of the universe. And yet, pastor Ray Bentley points out. Jesus chose to become a human being and walk among us. He came to save human beings, and that meant he had to take on flesh and blood. And by dying and being perfect, he was able to rise, resurrect, and all who trust in him shall be led back to that former place of glory spread.
Pastor Ray Bentley says, we need to remember everything was created by Jesus. And for Jesus, your only happiness and fulfillment is when you know and understand and begin to live. When the realization that I am made for the Lord, and that everything I do in one way or another should be a reflection of him, and draw me near to him and live for him purposefully and passionately.
There's only one person allowed to be worshiped in all of heaven, and that is God. Pastor Ray Bentley says, God the Son is superior to angels. Angels worship Christ because they recognize him as of a totally different and superior nature to theirs. They are the servants of the father and the son. They are the winds and the flames fulfilling his purpose in spreading.
Who? Holy brothers (1) What? Consider Jesus... (1) Apostle and High Priest (1) Faithful to God, as was Moses (2) Worthy of more glory than Moses (3) Builder of God's House (3-4) Faithful over God's House as a Son (5-6)So what? Consider yourself (6) Confident in Hope?
f we could somehow pull back the veil separating this world from the spiritual world, we may be surprised at what we see. Pastor Ray Bentley, there's at least as many angels here as there are human beings. And as God's messengers, they can wield immense power. And we're going to share eternity with them. And yet, when compared to Jesus Christ, he is far superior.
Pastor Seth Troutt continues our series in Hebrews, focusing on a key warning passage. He urges us to examine our faith and heed the warnings meant to guide us. Sharing a personal story about ignoring a lifeguard's warning, Pastor Seth illustrates the risks of spiritual complacency. He compares the greatness of Jesus to Moses and challenges us to avoid the faithlessness of Moses' followers. This sermon offers practical advice on holding fast to our faith and encourages us to stay committed in our journey with Christ. Join us in exploring the importance of faithfulness and perseverance.00:00 - Introduction05:36 - Moses was Good, Jesus is Glorious08:56 - Don't Be Like Moses' Followers12:44 - What won't hold you fast20:57 - How to Hold Fast**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/
