Hebrews 13:5–6 offers a powerful reminder that God’s presence is unwavering, even in moments of rejection, fear, or emotional pain. In this devotional, Emily Rose Massey reflects on the deep wounds that come from feeling abandoned or dismissed, and how those experiences can linger long after the moment has passed. Through personal reflection and Scripture, she points readers back to the unchanging truth that God does not forsake His children. Highlights Emotional wounds from rejection can linger and shape how we trust others. Human relationships are imperfect, but God’s presence is constant and unchanging. Hebrews 13:5–6 reassures believers that God will never forsake them. Jesus personally experienced rejection, betrayal, and abandonment. God’s faithfulness provides healing for deep emotional pain. Forgiveness is a pathway to freedom from bitterness and resentment. Our identity is secured in God’s love, not human approval. Drawing near to God brings comfort in seasons of emotional distress.

Full Transcript Below: God Doesn’t Reject His Children By: Emily Rose Massey Bible Reading:“…for He Himself has said, ‘I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,’ so that we confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?’” (Hebrews 13:5b-6, NASB). I woke up one morning recently crying after having a very vivid, heart-piercing dream. It was almost as if my current heart-struggle was being played out right before me; I could honestly see this dream happening in reality. The words spoken (in the dream) to my husband and me cut to the core, and they hurt so badly that my first reaction was tears so strong they stained my cheeks when I awoke. Being a storyteller allows for intense dream-tales in my mind while I’m supposed to be resting, sleeping. It’s something I have always dealt with since I was a child- I wake up trying to shake the mental visions, telling myself over and over again that it’s not real. Eventually, the emotions fade, and I can go on with the rest of my day. In this recent instance, I had trouble getting past the pain and just began talking to God about it. It was obvious and simple- I was still dealing with rejection, and it still hurt, but I was reminded that there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24). Although Proverbs 18:24 doesn’t necessarily say that friend is Jesus, I know that He will always be there for me even when everyone else fails me. Scripture tells us that God never leaves us or forsakes us in Deuteronomy 31:6. This truth from the Old Testament about our never-changing God is also stated again as a reminder in Hebrews 13, along with this powerful truth that people will fail us, and people may reject us, but we should not fear, for God is on our side. He is our helper. “…for He Himself has said, ‘I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,’ so that we confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?’” (Hebrews 13:5b-6, NASB). Intersecting Life & Faith: When we face rejection from others, we must remember that Jesus understands rejection better than anyone, as He has experienced it firsthand. Many people rejected Jesus (and continue to do so) while He was here on earth, even one of His very own disciples (Judas), rejected Him and betrayed Him. And just a couple of hours later, another one of His closest disciples (Peter) rejected knowing Him. Three times to be exact. Aren’t you so thankful for Jesus’ forgiveness when we turn our backs on Him! He gives us so many opportunities to repent and make things right in our relationship with Him! His mercies towards us are new every single morning… oh, what love! Has the pain of rejection made it difficult for you to trust others? Lay that pain at the foot of the cross, friend. God can bring healing to the wounds of those who have hurt you and empower you to choose to forgive. Instead of allowing bitterness to take root in your heart, perhaps you should ask the Lord to bless those who have hurt you, even if they don’t want you in their life anymore. Jesus was rejected, yet He took the punishment of our sin out of love for those who would put their trust in Him. No matter how much man rejects us, we must remember that Jesus is the friend who sticks by us no matter what. He will never leave you nor turn His back on you. The Lord understands our pain regarding rejection, and His arms are open wide, so let us be quick to draw near to Him. Lo, He is always with you…even to the end of the age!

Drop us a note about the podcast. “If you love me, obey my commandments” is either a comfort or a confrontation, and I treat it as both. We start with John 14 and a simple claim Jesus makes about real love: it shows up in obedience. From there, I pray for marriages, families, leaders, and those facing persecution, because faith is never meant to stay private or abstract. Then we get painfully practical with Proverbs on marriage and the cost of living in constant conflict. I say it plainly: it's better to be alone than to pretend you're loved. That idea isn't about hopelessness, it's about truth and the refusal to live on appearances. We also sit with one of the most relatable questions in Scripture, when Judas (not Iscariot) asks why Jesus won't reveal Himself to the whole world, and I connect it to the questions we still ask about sickness, tragedy, and why miracles don't look “blatant” anymore. John 14 answers with the Holy Spirit as Advocate and with peace that the world cannot give. From Psalm 119 to American history, I talk about what happens when a culture forgets what it once honored and taught. I reference current events, then pivot to courage and heritage through Richard Evelyn Byrd Jr, exploration, and presidential use of Scripture, including Grover Cleveland's oath alongside Psalm 91. If you care about Christian faith, biblical truth, and the story of America, you'll hear why I believe obedience and memory both matter.

There were 12 original, hand-picked disciples of Jesus until Judas died by suicide. After he died, Peter said, “Boys, there has to be 12 so we need to fill this vacancy!” So they chose two men who met the qualifications to be an apostle, “they had to be with Jesus from the beginning when he started his ministry and they had to witness his resurrection.” Mathias was chosen to replace Judas by casting lots. Guess who wasn't there?!?! The man who was persecuting these Jesus followers—Saul who later became Paul! So there is a good reason for the people to question his authority...or is it? Paul saw Jesus and was commissioned by him to take the gospel to the Gentiles, and just like the original disciples, Paul was confirming his message with miracles. Yet, Paul continued to humble himself in order to win others to Christ!
Episode 4145 │ June 14, 2026 America's 250th isn't a celebration — it's a covenant reckoning. What does God author for a nation that has walked away from its founding covenant? WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson and Brad Cummings open the 250th anniversary conversation with a question the ceremonies won't ask: what does it mean for a covenant nation to face God's fire when it has walked away from the covenant that founded it? The discussion moves through the purpose of anointing, Trump as disrupter rather than savior, the hijacked pulpit and American Christian Zionism, and a deep re-examination of Judas and Peter — arguing that both men loved Jesus and both had agendas that overrode their worship, a pattern Brad sees alive in the church today. The episode closes on the one anchor that holds: God vowed by Himself to finish what He authored, and that vow is not conditional on human performance, political outcomes, or the clarity of our theology. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What does the 250th anniversary actually mean for a nation founded on covenant with Christ — and is a single day of prayer enough when the covenant has been broken? What did Judas and Peter have in common — and what does their story reveal about the church's current entanglement with Christian Zionism and political idolatry? What is the difference between faith and presumption — and how does God's vow to finish what He authors change how we face the fire that's coming?

COMMENTAIRE DE L'ÉVANGILE DU JOURMt 9, 36 – 10, 8En ce temps-là, voyant les foules, Jésus fut saisi de compassion envers elles parce qu'elles étaient désemparées et abattues comme des brebis sans berger. Il dit alors à ses disciples : « La moisson est abondante, mais les ouvriers sont peu nombreux. Priez donc le maître de la moisson d'envoyer des ouvriers pour sa moisson. » Alors Jésus appela ses douze disciples et leur donna le pouvoir d'expulser les esprits impurs et de guérir toute maladie et toute infirmité. Voici les noms des douze Apôtres : le premier, Simon, nommé Pierre ; André son frère ; Jacques, fils de Zébédée, et Jean son frère ; Philippe et Barthélemy ; Thomas et Matthieu le publicain ; Jacques, fils d'Alphée, et Thaddée ; Simon le Zélote et Judas l'Iscariote, celui-là même qui le livra. Ces douze, Jésus les envoya en mission avec les instructions suivantes : « Ne prenez pas le chemin qui mène vers les nations païennes et n'entrez dans aucune ville des Samaritains. Allez plutôt vers les brebis perdues de la maison d'Israël. Sur votre route, proclamez que le royaume des Cieux est tout proche. Guérissez les malades, ressuscitez les morts, purifiez les lépreux, expulsez les démons. Vous avez reçu gratuitement : donnez gratuitement. »

TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01792 – 11 de junho de 2026 I Coríntios 12:4 – Os dons são diversos, mas o Espírito é o mesmo. O chamado dos doze apóstolos é na realidade o chamado de pessoas de enormes diferenças. O Novo Testamento inclui quatro listas dos doze: Mateus 10:2-4; Marcos 3:13-16 e Atos 1:13. Nessas listas, os mesmos doze aparecem. A ordem na qual eles são reunidos também é muito similar. O primeiro nome nas quatro relações é sempre o de Pedro. Ao que parece, o líder natural de todo o grupo. Os doze apóstolos são arranjados em três grupos de quatro: O grupo um é composto de Pedro, André, Tiago e João. O grupo dois é sempre formado de Filipe, Bartolomeu, Tomé e Mateus. O grupo três inclui Tiago, filho de Alfeu; Tadeu; Simão, zelote; e Judas Iscariotes. O primeiro grupo é formado por dois pares de irmãos (Pedro e André, João e Tiago, filhos de Zebedeu). Curiosamente, os grupos parecem relacionados em ordem decrescente, com base no nível de intimidade com Cristo. Os membros do grupo um provavelmente foram os primeiros chamados (Jo 1:35-42). Possivelmente eles haviam estado com o Senhor por um período mais longo. Esses pertenciam ao círculo íntimo de Jesus. Eles são encontrados com Cristo em momentos-chave. Desse grupo, Pedro, Tiago e João aparecem ainda mais próximo a Jesus. O grupo dois, embora formado de vultos importantes nas narrativas dos evangelhos, não inclui ninguém de perfil destacado. O grupo três aparece ainda mais distante. Eles são raramente mencionados nos registros do ministério de Jesus. O único que melhor conhecemos desse grupo é Judas Iscariotes, mas isso em função de seu ato de traição. Judas Iscariotes é sempre o último nas listas dos evangelhos e qualificado como traidor. Na lista do livro de Atos, é omitido. Isso tudo sugere que, mesmo dentro de um grupo pequeno, a variedade é muito grande. As personalidades e interesses eram também diversos. Pedro é agressivo e verbal. João é mais tímido. Nos 12 primeiros capítulos de Atos, ele dificilmente fala. Alguns eram pescadores, outros não sabemos claramente. As preferências políticas variavam. Simão, o zelote, era um revolucionário. Mateus, um servidor de Roma. A diversidade é quase infindável, mas aqui nós encontramos o fôlego do apelo de Cristo a pessoas tão diferentes. O que podemos aprender? Há lugar para todos. Ninguém é excluído, a não ser, como Judas, os que decidem se excluir. Reflita sobre isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Senhor, obrigado porque no Teu Reino nenhum de nós é excluído. Tu nos aceitas como somos, como estamos. E transforma completamente a nossa vida. Por favor, faça isso comigo mais uma vez e com cada um de meus ouvintes. Em nome de Jesus, amém!

ACTS 1:12-26 - THE APOSTLES - BRIAN SUMNER - 2026"Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey. 13 And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. 14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.Matthias Chosen15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, 16 “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; 17 for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.”18 (Now this man purchased a field with the [g]wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. 19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms:‘Let his dwelling place be desolate,And let no one live in it';and,‘Let another take his office.'21 “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”23 And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen 25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” 26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

There are two kinds of sorrow, and one of them is quietly leading you away from God. In this episode, Dot and Cara sit with 2 Corinthians 7 and get honest about broken hearts, the grief that draws you toward Jesus, and the grief that slowly pulls you away. They look at Peter, at Judas, and at what it actually means to bring your whole hurt to Him, even the parts you're afraid to say out loud. Pull up a chair, grab your Bible, and lean in with us.Got a question about today's episode or something else you'd like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know! Episode RecapIntro (00:00)Write this down: 2 Corinthians 7:6-11, on godly sorrow, repentance, and the kind of grief that leads to life (00:00)Cara gets honest right out of the gate: her heart is actually hurting right now, and this conversation is not just theoretical for her (00:03:58)God does not send a to-do list for healing; He is a deeply personal God who knows your personality, the way you process pain, and exactly how to meet you (00:04:35)Paul describes two kinds of sorrow in his letter to the Corinthians, one that leads to repentance and life and one that leads to death, and he shows us what both looked like in the lives of Peter and Judas (00:06:30)How you respond to your pain matters as much as what caused it. Peter ran toward Jesus. Judas walked away. Which direction are you moving? (00:10:16)You cannot heal what is not revealed. Naming your hurt honestly before God, even the ugly and angry parts, is where healing can actually begin (00:14:24)Dot shares the story of Corrie ten Boom, who begged God not to send her to the concentration camp and came out the other side knowing exactly why He had (00:21:45)God cannot heal a heart He does not have. Surrender means handing all of it over, not just the parts you are comfortable giving (00:24:06)Closing invitation: wherever you are today, just start somewhere. "Jesus, here's my heart.

For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it — though I did regret it, for I see that the letter caused you sorrow though only for a while. I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance. For you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, in order that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. For behold what eagerness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong. In everything you demonstrated yourself to be innocent in this matter."
In this fascinating and profound episode, we dive into the deep mysteries of St. John's Gospel with John Johnson, the founder of Patmos Hosting and the Albertus Magnus Institute (and Joshua Charles's sponsor into the Catholic Church). Johnson reveals that St. John was likely a student of Aristotle, and used his most powerful rhetorical techniques to communicate the most sublime truths about Christ, the Eucharist, the betrayal of Judas, and the authority of Peter.You can read John Johnson's biography here: https://magnusinstitute.org/senior-fellows/john-johnson/VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://eternalchristendom.com/BECOME A PATRON OF THE GREAT TRADITIONAs a non-profit, you can support our mission with a tax-deductible gift.

This week Dr. Gregg Mays asks the question, if Judas Iscariot had not hung himself, could he have been forgiven. This is an interesting question as we look at how Peter was forgiven and put to work for Jesus. While on the cross, Jesus is recorded by Luke as saying, “Father forgive them, they do not know what they are doing.” Would this same forgiveness be extended towards Judas?

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA II TRIMESTRE DEL 2026Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMIÉRCOLES 10 DE JUNIOEL CAMINO A EMAÚSHabían sido semanas muy duras para los dos discípulos, quienes repasaban mentalmente algunos de los acontecimientos vividos mientras el cielo vespertino se teñía de negro: la entrada triunfal en Jerusalén, la limpieza del Templo, la Pascua en el aposento alto, las oraciones de Jesús en Getsemaní, la horrible traición de Judas, el juicio, las burlas y los golpes, el cuerpo magullado de Jesús pendiendo de la cruz y sus últimas palabras antes de exhalar su último aliento; la rotura del velo del Templo; la resurrección de algunas personas; la delicada maniobra para retirar el cuerpo de Jesús de la cruz y su colocación en el sepulcro antes del sábado; y la confusión, el desaliento y los interrogantes de los desconcertados y descorazonados discípulos. ¿Cómo se habían equivocado tanto? Los seguidores de Jesús estaban decepcionados, desanimados y confundidos. Aquel era el mayor revés de sus vidas. No percibían que aquello era solo un episodio de la mayor historia de todos los tiempos. Mientras dos de ellos se dirigían a Emaús, Jesús apareció y caminó con ellos. Lee en Lucas 24:13 al 27 la conversación que tuvieron y piensa en las dos perspectivas diferentes: la de los dos seguidores y la de Jesús. Cuando los ojos de su entendimiento fueron abiertos, los dos discípulos corrieron rumbo a Jerusalén para contar a los demás lo que les había sucedido en el camino (Luc. 24:33, 34). Cuando Jesús llegó y se puso en medio de estos, se aterrorizaron. Nota la pregunta que les hizo: “¿Por qué están turbados y suben esos pensamientos a su corazón?” (Luc. 24:38). Este es también el mensaje de Jesús para nosotros hoy. Olvidamos con frecuencia que Jesús camina a nuestro lado en nuestros valles sombríos. Demasiado a menudo no lo reconocemos y perdemos de vista que hay mucho más en la historia. Nos sentimos turbados y permitimos que las dudas surjan en nuestros corazones, sin recordar que nuestra vida está segura en las manos de Jesús. Pensamos que sabemos mejor que Jesús qué está sucediendo realmente en nuestra vida (Luc. 24:18). La Biblia contiene muy buenos consejos acerca de cómo podemos los cristianos responder a los desafíos y los reveses de la vida. Dedica tiempo a estudiar los siguientes pasajes: Romanos 8:28; Filipenses 4:4-13; Santiago 1:2-4, 12; 2 Corintios 12:9, 10. Como parte de tu estudio, y teniendo en mente 2 Corintios 1:4, escribe tres mensajes que puedas compartir con alguien que esté enfrentando dificultades.

Judas teaches us something terrifying: you can be around Holy things and never become Holy. You can worship, know scripture, be a Pastor, a teacher or a minister and still have divided allegiance because proximity does not equal transformation.
Can Satan directly speak to the minds of believers? This is one of the most urgent questions Christians wrestle with, and in this episode of Marked by Grace, Pastor Heath Lambert walks through what the Bible actually teaches about the devil's access to the hearts and minds of those who belong to Christ. If you've ever wondered whether that dark or destructive thought came from Satan himself, this episode is for you.0:00 - Introduction0:14 - The question: Can Satan speak to the minds of Christians?1:27 - Job 1: Satan before God2:26 - Matthew 4: Satan making arguments to Jesus in the wilderness2:48 - John 13:27: Satan entering Judas3:43 - The deeper question: Can Satan work internally in believers?4:08 - 1 John 4:4: He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world4:39 - 1 Peter 5:8: Be on guard - the devil is a roaring lion5:05 - 2 Corinthians 11:14: Satan disguises himself as an angel of light5:44 - What the devil can and cannot do to Christians6:16 - Principalities, powers, and the spirit of the age6:36 - Conclusion: The Holy Spirit's protection and illuminationLike this episode?

Mary anoints Jesus with an entire alabaster vial of costly nard in an extravagant act of love and worship, recognizing—whether by understanding or by the Spirit's prompting—that His death is near. While Judas and some disciples criticize the act as wasteful, Jesus defends her, declaring that she has anointed Him for burial and that her devotion will be remembered wherever the gospel is preached. Her wholehearted surrender stands in stark contrast to Judas' growing resentment, which soon drives him to betray Jesus.

What is church hurt? Is every negative experience in church truly "church hurt," or is there a difference between hurt caused by people and the truth of God's Word confronting our lives?In this message, we explore one of the most talked-about and misunderstood topics in the church today. Looking at the conflict between Paul and Barnabas in Acts 15, we discover that even the early church was filled with imperfect people, disagreements, and difficult moments. Yet God's plan for His people has always included community, forgiveness, and the local church.In this sermon, you'll learn:• The difference between biblical correction and genuine church hurt• Why imperfect people can never perfectly represent Jesus• How unresolved hurt can lead to isolation and spiritual stagnation• Why forgiveness is essential for healing and freedom• How to keep your eyes on Jesus instead of the failures of othersOne of the most powerful truths from this message is simple:Don't judge Jesus by Judas.People may fail us. Leaders may disappoint us. Friends may hurt us. But Jesus remains faithful, and His church remains His plan for reaching and growing His people.
Judas Iscariot: Betrayal, Prophecy, Hypocrisy & the Price of 30 Pieces of Silver Thomas Fretwell continues a “Life of Messiah” survey of the twelve apostles, focusing on Judas Iscariot and briefly distinguishing Judas son of James (Thaddeus), whom church history links to ministry in Edessa. The episode traces Judas's materialistic expectations of the Messiah, his hypocrisy as keeper of the money box and a thief, and the turning point after Mary anoints Jesus when Judas is rebuked. It connects Judas's betrayal for thirty pieces of silver to Old Testament prophecy (Psalm 41 and Zechariah 11), follows the Last Supper where Satan influences Judas, and highlights Jesus washing Judas's feet and calling him “friend” at the betraying kiss. Judas's remorse leads him to return the money, confess “innocent blood,” and hang himself, serving as a warning about hypocrisy, love of money, and refusing repentance, while affirming God's sovereign plan in the cross for forgiveness.

Un descuido en un laboratorio puede salvar millones de vidas, y una “ruta extraviada” puede acabar en la mayor obra de la literatura italiana. Entre el viaje erróneo de Colón hacia las Indias y el resfriado que coronó la crónica de Gay Talese, 'La Cultureta' de Carlos Alsina analiza los desvíos del destino que terminaron en genialidad. ¿Qué relación tiene todo esto con los criterios de selección de personal de Jesucristo? El programa aborda 'Elogio del error' (Gatopardo), el ensayo de Pino Aprile que demuestra cómo los fallos mueven el mundo: desde el tiburón estropeado de Spielberg que mejoró el cine de terror hasta el pegamento débil que creó el Post-it. Rubén Amón, Rosa Belmonte, Guillermo Altares y Sergio del Molino enlazan así la gestión de los doce apóstoles y la paradoja de que, a veces, Judas es el empleado necesario para culminar una obra.

We watch the church move from fearful waiting in Jerusalem to bold witness at Pentecost, then ask what that same Spirit empowers us to do today. • Acts as Luke's continuing story addressed to Theophilus • Jesus' ascension and the command to wait in Jerusalem • the promise of baptism with the Holy Spirit and power to witness • Judas' betrayal, Scripture fulfillment, and Matthias chosen to replace him • Pentecost explained as the Feast of Weeks and what “Pentecost” means • wind, fire, and speaking in other languages as the Spirit enables • Peter's sermon using Joel and David to proclaim Jesus' death and resurrection • the call to repent and be baptized for forgiveness and the gift of the Holy Spirit • the early church pattern of teaching, fellowship, prayer, generosity, and shared meals • the Holy Spirit given for mission and purpose, not spectacle At outloudbible.com, you can find free resources to help you study the Bible.

In this sermon, Fr. Theophilus Mikhail explains the significance of the Holy Spirit dwelling within believers. He emphasizes that God's promises, including the presence of the Holy Spirit, never change and remain constant throughout time. Fr. Theophilus describes how the Holy Spirit convicts us gently of sin, judgment, and encourages righteousness, offering a wake-up call rather than blame. He warns against falling into despair like Judas by ignoring the Spirit's guidance and stresses the importance of escaping temptations quickly, similar to fleeing from a snake. The Holy Spirit also inspires virtues such as love and wisdom, helping lead believers toward God's kingdom. Fr. Theophilus encourages regular prayer asking God to fill us and our children with the Holy Spirit for strength and guidance in life. #HolySpirit #ChristianFaith #FrTheophilusMikhail #Pentecost #SpiritualGuidance #FaithInGod #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org
In John 13, Jesus gathers with His disciples knowing the cross is only hours away. Yet instead of turning inward, He continues to love and serve—even washing the feet of Judas, the one who would betray Him. This episode explores the depth of Christ's selfless love and challenges us to love others not based on how they treat us, but based on how He has loved us.
This Sunday, we looked at two hard questions from the kids: Was the betrayal of Jesus Judas' fault if Satan entered his heart? Can Satan enter our hearts to make us do bad things? Rev.

“Have faith. Let it begin.” Angel Santana opens the episode with a simple plea that becomes a lifeline as he walks listeners through one of his most painful moments: the sharp sting of betrayal by the people who sat at his table. Through raw memory and trembling honesty he reconstructs the moment trust was broken, the secret conversations and the quiet undermining that turned allies into strangers. Drawing a line from Judas at the table to the betrayals we face today, Santana reframes loss as protection and pain as a lesson that shapes who we will become. This episode weaves scripture, personal testimony, and practical wisdom—inviting you to grieve without hardening your heart, set healthy boundaries, and keep faith alive. Listen and be guided from hurt toward healing, with hope waiting on the next turn of the story.
If you've ever felt pressure to sound spiritual, look impressive, or “win” at faith, Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 2 will feel like a deep breath and a gut check at the same time. We talk about why Paul refuses to build the church on charisma or clever communication, and why he doubles down on one message: Jesus Christ crucified. It's a reminder that spiritual growth, gospel transformation, and a healthy church culture don't come from performance. They come from the power of God.We also get painfully practical about the clash between culture and discipleship. Culture trains us to protect our image, chase status, and follow feelings. Jesus forms character, humility, servanthood, and surrender. That contrast shows up everywhere: in how we measure success, how we treat people, and how we handle conflict. The Holy Spirit doesn't just give information, he gives discernment, and we need that if we're going to think with the mind of Christ instead of the mind of the crowd.Then we sit with a question Jesus asks that still hits hard: “Do you want to be healed?” Because real change brings responsibility. We unpack why so many of us want new outcomes without new habits, why accountability matters, and how listening to the Spirit can turn an ordinary moment into someone else's turning point. We end with the clearest picture of “mind of Christ” we've got: Jesus washing Judas' feet, and what that means for the people who hurt us.If this challenged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Thanks for listening!

In John 12, Jesus returns to Bethany and is welcomed by friends whose responses reveal very different hearts. Martha serves, Mary worships, and Judas criticizes. Mary pours out costly perfume at the feet of Jesus in an act of sacrificial devotion while Judas reveals a heart driven by self-interest. This episode reminds us that worship always costs something, and our response to Jesus reveals what we treasure most.

In "Betrayal, Denial, and Love,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen explores Jesus' final hours with His disciples and His command to love one another. Through the examples of Judas' betrayal and Peter's denial, we see that love is more than proximity, words, or feelings. Jesus calls His followers to a deeper kind of love—a loyal, sacrificial pursuit of another person's well-being. When we love this way, others will know that we are His disciples.

This powerful message takes us into the upper room at the Last Supper, where we encounter one of the most sobering realities in Scripture: the danger of proximity without surrender. Through the story of Judas, we're confronted with a challenging truth—it's possible to be near Jesus, to witness His miracles, to participate in His ministry, and yet never truly make Him Lord.

This sermon on Matthew 27:1–10 examines the corruption surrounding Jesus' condemnation, the tragic fate of Judas, and the sovereignty of God working through human evil. It highlights how the Jewish leaders violated their own legal standards through a secret nighttime trial, false testimony, and a predetermined verdict, contrasting their hypocrisy with Jesus' innocence and righteousness. The message then focuses on Judas, who felt deep sorrow and acknowledged his sin but sought relief through the religious system rather than through Christ. Drawing a distinction between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow, the sermon argues that Judas' remorse led him to despair because he placed his hope in the law and corrupt leaders, while Peter's failure ultimately led him back to Jesus, demonstrating true repentance that results in salvation. The sermon further explores why God allowed betrayal and injustice, presenting them as evidence of Christ's kingship, human freedom, and God's sovereign plan to fulfill prophecy and accomplish redemption. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that no religious system, personal reform, or worldly pursuit can save; salvation is found only in Jesus Christ. The darkness of Judas' betrayal, the corruption of the religious leaders, and the suffering of Christ all serve to magnify God's grace, showing that despite humanity's failures, God's redemptive purpose prevails and invites people to run to Jesus rather than trust in the broken things of the world.
This sermon examines the contrasting failures of Judas and Peter in the final hours before Jesus' crucifixion, emphasizing that failure is a universal human reality but does not have to be the end of anyone's story. Drawing from Isaiah 53, the message reminds believers that all people have gone astray and that Jesus bore the sins of all humanity, including both Peter and Judas. While both men were called by Jesus, witnessed His miracles, preached the kingdom, and experienced significant spiritual opportunities, their responses to failure were radically different. Peter pursued Jesus, trusted Him despite his weaknesses, and responded to his denial with humility, godly sorrow, and repentance. Judas, however, followed his own plans, betrayed Christ for personal gain, and responded to his failure with remorse rather than true repentance. The sermon distinguishes remorse—feeling bad about the consequences of sin—from repentance, which involves turning to God for forgiveness and restoration. Judas attempted to fix his problem through human means and ultimately fell into despair, while Peter allowed his failure to drive him back to Jesus. Through Christ's restoration of Peter in John 21, the message highlights that God's goal is not merely forgiveness but restoration and renewed purpose. Peter's failure did not disqualify him from ministry; instead, God used him powerfully as a leader of the early church. The central lesson is that while failure is inevitable, what matters most is how a person responds to it. Pride and self-reliance lead to destruction, but humility, repentance, and surrender to Christ lead to forgiveness, restoration, and a future shaped by God's grace.
