Most people define freedom as the ability to do whatever they want. But what if our wants are part of the problem?The Apostle Paul says true freedom isn't found in following every impulse or desire that comes our way. Freedom is learning to want what Jesus wants. That's why Christianity is about so much more than behavior modification. Jesus didn't simply come to forgive our sins; He came to transform our hearts. He changes what we love, what we pursue, and ultimately what we desire.That's why following Jesus can sometimes feel like a battle. Part of us still wants the old way of life. Paul calls that "the flesh." But the Holy Spirit is at work within us, shaping us into people who increasingly love what is good, true, and life-giving. The goal of the Christian life isn't simply that we stop doing bad things. The goal is that our wants begin to change.This week, pay attention to what is leading you. Is it approval? Fear? Comfort? Appetite? Anger? Or is it the Holy Spirit? Each morning, begin your day with a simple prayer: "Jesus, help me want what You want today."Because of Jesus, you don't have to earn God's acceptance. You are already loved, already accepted, and already free. The Holy Spirit is now at work helping you become the person God has declared you to be.Praise God!

Is it possible for a Christian to be "so heavenly-minded that he is no earthly good?" And what does that even mean? In this week's program, Dr. Jeff digs into Colossians 3:1-2 to help us understand what "setting your mind on things above" practically means for our lives today.

Faithfulness matters more than popularity. We often measure success by growth and approval… Jesus measures it by faithfulness. Most of us live reacting to what we can see. The headlines, the pressure, the chaos, the tension all around us. But what if what's visible isn't the full story? The Unseen Reality invites us to look beyond the surface and wrestle with a deeper question: what's actually happening behind what's happening? Because if we only interpret life through what's in front of us, we'll misread everything. Our circumstances, our purpose, even the presence of God. Through the book of Revelation, we're not chasing speculation. We're uncovering clarity. This series pulls back the curtain to reveal a spiritual reality where Jesus is present and active, where God is still on the throne, and where our lives are part of something far bigger than we often realize. As we learn to see clearly, we move from confusion to conviction and from fear to confidence, and we begin to live with a perspective that changes how we see everything. In these six weeks, we're not trying to decode every symbol or timeline. We're learning how to see clearly.

Having a 'personal relationship' with Jesus Christ rather than just engaging in religious ritual is very important. The Gospel of John reminds us of this truth over and over again. Whether it is through Jesus's very personal encounters with various individuals, or His own teaching, Jesus stresses that He wants us to know Him and the Father intimately at the level of the heart.

The love of people often increases with performance and decreases with mistakes. Not so with God's love. He loves you...

This scene of Jesus being baptized is here for us…to learn something from Him. Jesus wants to show us something, not with His words, but with His actions. Jesus is showing us who He is and how we are to follow Him.

What does it mean to truly invest in the next generation? In this powerful message, Jacob unpacks what it looks like to have strong, available, and faithful shoulders for the young people around you — using a simple but unforgettable moment of lifting his son up to a basketball hoop as the entry point.Drawing from 1 Timothy 4:12, Mark 10, and Matthew 11, this sermon explores three types of shoulders the next generation needs from us: strong shoulders that call them up, faith shoulders that make room for them to encounter Jesus, and shoulders yoked to Jesus that are healed and formed through intimacy with God.You'll be challenged to reflect on the condition of your own heart — whether life's circumstances have made it old, hardened, or guarded — and invited to receive rest and renewal from Jesus before you pour into others.Whether you're a parent, teacher, coach, pastor, or mentor, this message is for anyone who wants to leave a legacy that goes beyond what they accumulate and extends to who they lift up.Big Idea: True legacy is not what you leave behind — it's who you lift up.0:00 - Introduction: Basketball, Kids & Lifting Them Up 1:55 - The Bigger Picture: Standing on Someone Else's Shoulders 2:38 - Big Idea: True Legacy Is Who You Lift Up3:54 - Biblical Examples of Passing the Torch 4:40 - Strong Shoulders: Call the Next Generation Up 5:03 - Paul's Letter to Timothy (1 Timothy 4:12) 6:39 - Correction With Calling vs. Correction That Crushes 7:02 - Practical Challenge: Speak Life Over Someone Younger 8:18 - Faith Shoulders: Make Room for the Next Generation 8:36 - Jesus and the Children (Mark 10) 10:19 - The Kingdom of God Belongs to Such as These 10:37 - Has Life Made Your Heart Old? 11:25 - Young at Heart: A Story From the Bahamas 13:43 - Wonder, Trust & the Childlike Kingdom of God 14:36 - Receiving From the Father vs. Achieving for the Father 16:26 - LVC Kids: Discipling, Not Babysitting 17:22 - Honoring Teachers: Your Influence Changes Legacies 18:23 - Youth Ministry & Creating Belonging for Teenagers19:41 - Strong Shoulders Must Be Yoked to Jesus 20:03 - Your Shoulders Are Only as Strong as Your Intimacy With God 20:52 - For Those Who Never Had Shoulders to Stand On 21:45 - Jesus Invites the Weary to Come (Matthew 11) 24:05 - Jesus Wants to Work In You, Not Just Through You 25:33 - Why Daily Time With God Matters 28:17 - Whatever Is Forming You Will Flow Through You 29:19 - We Pass Down What We Carry 30:12 - Jesus Wants to Be Part of Your Life, Not Just Use It 30:44 - Let Jesus Heal Your Shoulders 31:27 - Altar Call: Bringing Your Tired, Wounded Shoulders to Jesus 32:07 - Come to Simon (Coming to Jesus First) 32:43 - Closing PrayerSupport the showMade a decision to follow Jesus?

In the story of Mary and Martha from Luke 10, we see two different responses to Jesus. Martha is busy and overwhelmed while Mary is turning her attention towards Jesus and His teaching. You can live like Martha—be busy, distracted, doing lots of things that feel important. Or you can live like Mary—focused, present, sitting with Jesus. One leaves you feeling overwhelmed and “never enough.” While the other gives you something that Jesus says himself, “will not be taken away from you.”

The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death. And if we are all sinners, then we are are doomed to die a spiritual death. That is why the Church wants us to take note of the story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead. His real life resurrection teaches us of us that even if we are four days dead and things seem hopeless, we can still be saved.

The raising of Lazarus is more than a miracle—it's climactic sign that reveals Jesus' love that leads Him to the Cross. Dr. Sri explains how this miracle is a turning point in the Gospel and how it shows us Jesus' deepest love for His friends. Just as Jesus calls Lazarus to come out, he continues to calls each of us by name to step out into new life. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

Jesus wants you to overcome; to stand firm in the call he's given you. He wants you to persevere in the face of obstacles and opposition. Revelation 3:1-13 is proof of it. Written in letter form, his words are personal and prophetic. They cut through all the religious formalities, frenzied activity and cultural accommodation of our lives. It's a call to wake up to what we've received and hold fast to who Jesus is.

Pastor Adrin Muñoz preaches from Mark 11-12 at ARPC@Bishan.

In this "How-to" and "Identity" episode, we will dive into the Holy Spirit's mind manifestation gift of discernment.  Jesus explains what this gift is and is not, so we understand why it's so important in this generation.   How does this gift allow you to see past natural realities into the future of God's will?   And how does knowing that change how you pray with and minister to others?  Dr. Patty shares some biblical and personal stories of how this gift looks when released. How can you practically grow in your sensitivity to the spirit so you can increase your discernment?   What is social proof and how can it be used as a scheme of the enemy if you are not grounded in the Truth?  In order to increase your sensitivity to the Spirit, Dr. Patty shares a quick self-assessment tool that will diagnose the quieting issues that block you from sensing God.    Jesus addresses your quieting issues in your experience with Him and will give you practical tips for increasing your sensitivity to His communications with you.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus so often seems unclear in the Bible? Why speak in parables and riddles? Why stories that even His own disciples did not understand at first?What if I told you that Jesus wasn't confusing by accident — but on purpose?

What does Jesus do with lukewarm faith? The heart of this message calls us to see ourselves clearly, repent of spiritual complacency, and respond to God with zealous love instead of lukewarm religion. Jesus stands at the door and knocks, not to condemn, but to invite us back into passionate, wholehearted relationship with Him.   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

Christmas reminds us of all we receive through Christ - hope, peace, joy, and love. But have we considered what we can give the one who's birth we are actually celebrating? What does Jesus want for his birthday? Like the Magi, whose true gift wasn't simply gold, frankincense, and myrrh, but their worship and devotion, Jesus desires our hearts. More than anything we can do or give, he wants us.

Tom Logue - December 7th 2025 The blessing of God flows to the needy, the humble, and the childlike who come to Jesus. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 19:13–15, where parents bring their children to Jesus for Him to lay His hands on them and pray. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Tom teaches on the biblical pattern of laying on of hands—how throughout the Bible God transfers wisdom, healing, empowerment, spiritual gifts, and the Holy Spirit through ordinary people who make themselves available. He challenges us not to decline the blessing God wants to give because we avoid the means through which He gives it. Tom also unpacks the difference between childishness and childlikeness: childishness is impulsive, self-focused, prideful, and tantrum-prone—while childlikeness is marked by humility, dependence, awe, wonder, trust, and quick forgiveness. Jesus says the kingdom belongs to people like this. We were made for the kingdom the way fish were made for water; when we exit it through pride or self-reliance, we spiritually suffocate under anxiety, fear, bitterness, or despair. But Jesus wants the needy to come to Him—He delights to bless, touch, heal, and restore His children. Tom calls every listener—parent, youth, child, and spiritually suffocating adult—to come back into God's presence, receive blessing, and breathe again.
