“This week is very special. We've crossed halfway into the Hebrew month of Sivan, and God is saying something profound: ‘I am preparing a place for you.'”“Sivan is about identity. It's the month when the Israelites came to Mount Sinai and received their covenant — their purpose, their calling, and their God-given identity.”“We live in a time where identity is under attack. Just look around — the enemy is screaming. Why? Because whenever God moves in identity, the enemy panics.”“You've probably heard about ‘No King but Jesus Day' — come on, I'm all for that! While the culture wages war over identity, the Kingdom is calling you to rise up as a royal priesthood and holy nation.”“If you don't know who you are, the enemy will try to tell you who you're not.”“And that's dangerous — because if you walk into the promises of God without knowing your identity, you'll squander them. You'll use them for yourself instead of the Kingdom. God is saying: ‘Before I give you the land, I must give you identity.'”“Let's go to Exodus 23:20 — one of the most powerful promises.”“Behold, I send an Angel before you to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared.”“Did you catch that? God sends an angel before you. You're not walking blind. Heaven has gone ahead of you.”“This week, new angels are being assigned. New levels. New doors. But they're only accessible if you walk in your Kingdom identity.”“If you read through Exodus 23:20–33, you'll see seven covenant blessings that come when we obey.”God keeps His promises“This isn't just a promise for ancient Israel — this is for you, right now, in 2025.”“But here's the key: you must come into alignment.”“God is preparing a place — a land flowing with milk and honey — but you've got to know who you are before you step into it.”“If you've been confused… lost… or maybe you've walked away from God — today is the day to renew your identity.”“Say this out loud: ‘Jesus, I receive who You are. I receive who You say I am. I walk away from false identity, and I step into my royal inheritance. No King but Jesus. Amen.'”“Come on, somebody! If that word hit you, hit like, hit subscribe, and share this with someone who needs to hear it.”“Let the world know: we serve King Jesus. This is the season of rising, of clarity, and of walking into the place God has prepared for you.”“Remember: You are chosen. You are royal. And you are right on time.

Big Idea: Law will always push out love… if you let it.1 Corinthians 8:1-13I. Wisdom without love only hurts people.1 Corinthians 8:1-3Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone thinks he knows anything, he does not yet know it as he ought to know it. But if anyone loves God, he is known by him.II. There's no greater sacrifice than the one that set you free. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6About eating food sacrificed to idols, then, we know that “an idol is nothing in the world,” and that “there is no God but one.” For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—yet for us there is one God, the Father. All things are from him, and we exist for him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through him, and we exist through him.III. Let love set the limits of your liberty! 1 Corinthians 8:7-13However, not everyone has this knowledge. Some have been so used to idolatry up until now that when they eat food sacrificed to an idol, their conscience, being weak, is defiled. Food will not bring us close to God. We are not worse off if we don't eat, and we are not better if we do eat. But be careful that this right of yours in no way becomes a stumbling block to the weak. For if someone sees you, the one who has knowledge, dining in an idol's temple, won't his weak conscience be encouraged to eat food offered to idols? So the weak person, the brother or sister for whom Christ died, is ruined by your knowledge. Now when you sin like this against brothers and sisters and wound their weak conscience, you are sinning against Christ. Therefore, if food causes my brother or sister to fall, I will never again eat meat, so that I won't cause my brother or sister to fall.Next Steps: Believe: I surrender my life to King Jesus today.Become: I will build up someone's faith this week.Be Sent: I will serve someone far from Jesus this week.Discussion Questions: What does it look like in your life to give up your freedom to serve someone?Has there been a time when serving others brought you joy?Besides Jesus, who do you know who sacrifices to serve others?What fear holds most people back from serving others?How has your faith influenced your view of freedom?What is one thing you will do this week to serve someone far from Jesus this week?Surrender your freedom to the Holy Spirit this week.

Through a study of the book of Acts, we're asking the Spirit to conform us to the patterns and practices of the early church — a people who love the lost like Jesus, give of themselves in rhythms of blessing and hospitality, and who seek to engage in curious, spiritual, and gospel conversations. We want the Spirit to do an Acts 3-4 kind of work this week, fulfilling Jesus's promise in Acts 1.8: You will receive power, and you will be my witnesses. What is our role? This week, after the church is scattered, King Jesus is still orchestrating the story, and we get to see how the new Spirit-filled people of God take the Gospel to the ends of the known world.
This psalm puts the Lord's victorious reign before us. Here is a mighty song of praise that reminds the people of God that the LORD is King and that no one and nothing will defeat the Lord our God. There is also a messianic element to this psalm that points us to King Jesus, who conquered death and rules over all. May the truths of this psalm lead all who trust in Christ to rejoice and praise the God who reigns.
As we prepared ourselves for our gathering (where we examined Psalm 20), we encouraged our church to spend some time reading over and trying to understand the main theme and rhythm of Psalm 18.Why? Well, the reason for doing so is that David, in Psalm 18, reflects upon how God has delivered him from all of his enemies. Then, in Psalm 20, David builds upon what he has already said and turns to ask God to deliver King Jesus in similar ways. Thus, the themes of these two Psalms are tied together under the banner of deliverance for the King, with David asking God to do for King Jesus (Psalm 20) what God did for him (Psalm 18). As such, Psalm 20 is often referred to as a Royal Psalm; sung about the coming promised King who would fulfill the promise of God given to David in 2 Samuel 7. Therefore, it is a song of faith on the day of trouble, remembering how God saved David and pointing to how Jesus would be delivered on His day of greatest trouble. Through it all, we see how God never fails to do all that He has promised.
15th June 2025: Concluding our series in the book of Judges, we're left grieving the devastating effects of sin and longing for King Jesus.
When we see the giving and rejoicing of David and Israel we are instructed to give to Jesus and to rejoice in HIm.
Today in Current Events from a Christian Perspective:We take a look from a Biblical perspective at illegal immigration since there are thousands of protests scheduled today across America and prominent Christians are saying things or even quoting Scripture that is plainly out of context or cherry picked to their advantage.The rioters are claiming that there should be 'No Kings' in America.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Brian Carroll takes a look at one of the most powerful scenes in all of Scripture—Revelation 19 and the return of King Jesus.This isn't fantasy or fiction. It's the real King, riding in on a white horse, leading heaven's armies, and defeating evil once and for all. Every detail in this passage reveals who Jesus truly is: Faithful and True, the Word of God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords..The battle isn't close. The outcome isn't uncertain. And the invitation is clear—follow Him.Let's turn our attention to this week's sermon from Revelation chapter 19, verses 11 through 21.
At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor Rev. Craig Bailey preached again on the session of Christ, focusing on the powerful gift of the Holy Spirit.
Second Samuel 19 Take Aways:1. While David eventually made his return as the rightful king of Israel, so Jesus Christ will make His return as the Messianic Lion of Judah, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords—“Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him.” Revelation 1:72. Mephibosheth experienced reconciliation with David as he genuinely sought a restored relationship with his king above all else; may our relationship with King Jesus be the ultimate goal and priority in our lives—“Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore!” 1 Chronicles 16:113. As King David sought to reward the faithful Barzillai for his generous service to the king and his people, so King Jesus will reward those who have faithfully served Him with a genuine and sincere heart—“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24
Luke Looks Back Chapter 8 (Luke 6:17 – 6: 26) The Way of Jesus: blessings and woes Luke wrote his own version of Matthew's more famous Sermon on the Mount. It is much shorter and was preached in 'a level place'. Probably Jesus, like any travelling preacher, used much the same material many times and these are two slightly different reports of what he said. Please do read Luke 6: 17 - 26 The biggest differences occur in the list of blessings and the woes that Luke, but not Matthew, has after them. Luke has only 4 Blessings and 4 matching Woes. Understanding them can be tricky! Blessing 1 (v 20). Question 1: Say which of the following statements are true or false comments about this Blessing? And why? a. All poor people are already in the Kingdom because they are poor and therefore can be sure they will be saved when they die. b. All the poor people who met King Jesus as he walked round Galilee were in the Kingdom because they had met the King and therefore would be saved. c. Jesus was only talking about those who were, and are, spiritually poor - they would be in the Kingdom (Matt 5: 3). d. Jesus didn't say anybody is 'in' the Kingdom he told them who it belongs to. That means it is wide open for the poor but they still have to set out to follow Jesus whole heartedly to be 'in' the Kingdom. It is certainly true that Jesus had a special feeling for the poor people he met and got on better with them than rich people but just poverty by itself does not let anyone into the Kingdom so the first 3 are all false. To "follow Jesus" is the all important way into the Kingdom which is about what the fourth statement said. That first blessing was about something that was happening then (present tense). The next 2 blessings 2 and 3 are about the future (future tense). Blessing 2 (v 21a): Jesus was talking to a big crowd. In those days many people did not get enough to eat and would be hungry. Matthew interprets this as being about hunger and thirst for righteousness and we should probably understand this that way. The difficult word righteousness is about establishing a relationship (the basic meaning of the word translated righteousness) between the Lord and his people. Which can only be done by making a person good and holy before God, which, fortunately, God by his grace will do for us, for we could never be good enough ourselves. Question 2: Are you hungry, in this spiritual sense, now? Are you prepared to wait to be satisfied later? When will 'later' be? Or are you in too much of a hurry? The Bible consistently teaches that the final justice of God at the judgement day will right all wrongs, particularly for the poor and the hungry who trust him now. But of course most of the answer to this question is something you are going to have to meditate on yourself. Blessing 3 (v 21b): Someone has said "those who wish to serve him best are conscious most of sin within". Question 3: Is it worth weeping over our sins now for the promise of laughing later? Have you any advice for yourself and others as to how to think more about the future and make that a more important factor in the way you live? Blessing 4 (v 22, 23) The most important point about all the Blessings only comes in this last one. Question 4: What is the great condition of this Blessing and all the others (here it is again)? Are the problems of this Blessing certain to happen for the true follower of Jesus? Our joy depends on following the Son of Man, as Jesus called himself. Whether we will be hated, despised, insulted and rejected depends on where we have to live in this world. Some of us have it easy, others do not. 4 Woes. v24 - 26. Jesus does seem to have a rather poor view of life. He seems to think being rich, well fed, cheerful and well thought of are all bad things. Most of us probably disagree and would defend our right to disagree. What then can we make of these sayings? Perhaps we can start this way - you probably know somebody who is rich, fat, always cheerful and in the middle of a group of people and yet you would not at all like to be that person. Why is that? Question 5: What are the bad things about being rich, fat, always in the middle of a group of people? Why then did Jesus make these his woes? You will need to think hard about this one. People like this all too often are what they are because they are careless of other people. They think only of themselves and what they can get out of life, regardless of how many people they hurt and offend on the way. But they have a sort of life force that seems to push them through life successfully. The Psalmist in psalm 73 grumbles about these sort of people and comforted himself saying "God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever".

In John 12:1–8, Mary pours expensive perfume on Jesus' feet in a bold and costly act of worship, showing that true love for Jesus often looks extravagant or even foolish to the world. This story challenges us to consider whether our lives reflect sacrificial devotion or merely surface-level faith. While Judas criticizes Mary, revealing how easy it is to fake love for Jesus, she models wholehearted surrender. True worship may seem wasteful, but it's the only fitting response to the worth of King Jesus.

Christi Le Fevre shares from her book, The Gracious Woman, that although culture equates gentleness with weakness, King Jesus taught differently!
What do you know about the kingdom of God? One interesting and exciting insight is that it was the central teaching of Jesus. “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'” Matthew 4:17. Despite the kingdom of heaven (or God) being so central, many Christians have no idea of its significance. In this new sermon series called The Shift, we are going to look at the gospel of Matthew, who focused more on this subject than any of the other gospel writers. We will discover that the Kingdom of God is at odds with our world, and one of power, beauty and radical worth, ruled by Jesus Christ the King of all kings. Yet living under the rule of a king, even if it is God, strikes against our instincts. After all, we are Americans, liberated from the English Monarchs. What freedom awaits the Christian who begins to shift their focus and allegiance to live for the kingdom that endures forever. We begin by looking at the birth of the King of this kingdom and learn to sit at His feet as His disciples. Follow us as we follow the disciple Matthew who shows us the majesty of King Jesus and the radical life of living in His kingdom!
At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor Rev. Craig Bailey preached again about the session of Christ, calling us to rejoice that King Jesus will interfere with our wills and for our good.

Have you ever stopped to think… when the history of this church is written in Heaven—what will be by your name? Not your title. Not your status. But your sacrifice, your faith, your obedience. In this message, we look at the story of David and his Mighty Men—not just as a history lesson, but as a spiritual challenge for today. These were broken, outcast, ordinary people… who became legends in the Kingdom because they chose to follow the right king—even before he wore the crown. Just like them, we're being called to serve King Jesus—now, in the wilderness, in the trenches, in the unseen places. This isn't about being perfect, talented, or polished. It's about being willing. It's about seeing the needs around us—because every hungry person, every hurting soul, every “cup of water” moment… is Jesus in disguise.

ust as Absalom stole the hearts of Israel through outward appearance, power, and concern, this message warns how the world still seeks to draw our hearts away from King Jesus—and calls us back to the true beauty, power, and compassion found in Him alone.
It's Wednesday, May 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Somalian Muslim man trusts Christ and is kicked out of home A young Muslim man in Somalia was kicked out of his home recently after converting to Christianity. The 20-year-old struggled with substance abuse and had not been home to see his Muslim parents for months. That's when an underground pastor shared the Gospel with him. The young man came to Christ and gained freedom from drug use. After going home, however, his parents drove him away because of his new faith. The young convert told Morning Star News, “Now that I have loved [Jesus], I do not have a family standing with me. I do no not know what to do. I need prayers.” Please pray for this brother in Christ in Somalia, Africa. The country is ranked second on the Open Doors' World Watch List of most difficult places to be a Christian. In Matthew 19:29, Jesus said, “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.” French Muslim youth vandalizing Catholic churches and assaulting Catholics The European Conservative reports there have been a string of attacks on churches in France recently which have received little attention from the mainstream media. In one case, Islamic youths insulted a Catholic priest and threatened to set the church building on fire earlier this month. Days earlier, another group disrupted a parish meeting in the same area. Muslim attacks on Catholics have included vandalism, physical assault, and kidnapping. Supremes split decision result: OK religious charter school unfunded In the United States, the Supreme Court delivered a split decision last Thursday in a case involving religious education. Previously, Oklahoma's charter school board had approved funding for St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School. It would have been the country's first publicly-funded religious charter school. However, Oklahoma's Supreme Court blocked the school. And the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 4-4 in the case, leaving the lower court ruling in place. For some reason, conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself from the case. Defense Secretary Hegseth: "“King Jesus, we come humbly before You." U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth led a prayer meeting at the Pentagon last Wednesday. Listen to his opening prayer. HEGSETH: “If you would bow your head in prayer. “King Jesus, we come humbly before You, seeking Your face, seeking Your grace, in humble obedience to your law and to Your Word. We come as sinners, saved only by that grace, seeking Your providence in our lives and in our nation. “Lord God, we ask for the wisdom to see what is right, and in each and every day, in each and every circumstance, the courage to do what is right in obedience to Your will. “It is in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that we pray. And all God's people said, Amen. Thank you.” The voluntary 30-minute prayer meeting was called “Secretary of Defense Christian Prayer & Worship Service.” Hegseth said it may become a monthly event. Colossians 4:2 says, “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.” Planned Parenthood to close 8 abortion mills in Iowa and Minnesota Last Friday, Planned Parenthood North Central States announced it will close eight locations across Iowa and Minnesota over the next year. Planned Parenthood blamed the closures on states passing anti-abortion laws as well as a freeze on federal funding for abortion. The closures will also involve laying off 66 staff members. CDC no longer recommends COVID-19 shot for pregnant women & kids The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will no longer recommend COVID-19 shots for pregnant women and healthy children. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made the announcement yesterday. KENNEDY: “Hi everybody. I'm Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, your HHS Secretary. And I'm here with NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty MaKary. “I couldn't be more pleased to announce that, as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC-recommended immunization schedule. Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children! BHATTACHARYA: “That ends today. It's common sense and it's good science.” MAKARY: “There's no evidence healthy kids need it today. And most countries have stopped recommending it for children.” KENNEDY: “We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America healthy again.” Lawmakers want to launch “Natural Family Month” Republican lawmakers in Ohio are considering a bill to celebrate families. The measure would designate the weeks from Mother's Day to Father's Day as “Natural Family Month.” The timeframe goes from the second Sunday in May to the third Sunday in June. This contrasts with Homosexual/Transgender Pride Month when many celebrate sexually perverted lifestyles in June. 1,500-year-old Christian graves in Israel discovered And finally, archaeologists recently uncovered 1,500-year-old Christian graves in Israel's Negev Desert. The graves reflect Christian burial practices. Inside, archaeologists found rare ebony figurines depicting individuals with African features. Researchers wrote, “It is possible that the deceased were of ‘Ethiopian' origin, and that they, or their ancestors, converted to Christianity and moved to the Negev.” The figurines were made out of ebony wood sourced from India or Sri Lanka and likely carved in Africa before being brought to the Negev. Researchers believe it is the first time they have discovered such artifacts in the region of Israel and Jordan.

Ever felt like you were called… but stuck in a season of “not yet”? You’re not alone. Whether it’s King David or King Jesus, even God’s greatest waited between their anointing and appointing. But take heart—your “in-between” is never wasted. Key Takeaways You’re Sealed and Claimed – God put His Spirit in you as a guarantee of what’s to come (2 Cor 1:21-22). Anointed ≠ Immediately Appointed – David waited decades; Jesus waited years. Waiting doesn’t mean forgotten. God Doesn’t Rush – He moves in perfect timing (Isaiah 60:22). You’re not behind schedule—you’re being prepared. Your Wait Has a Purpose – David gathered strength and support; Jesus discipled and taught. Your delay is part of your development. Join the Conversation How are you holding onto faith in your waiting season? What has God been refining in you while you wait? Share your reflections using #LifeaudioNetwork. And remember: if He’s anointed you, He will appoint you—right on time.
Jesus is King! His name holds all power and authority. In his name, you can find freedom, healing, and joy unlike anything the world can offer. When you have a relationship with the King, you can call on his name to experience the gifts of the Kingdom. Read Colossians 1:15-23 this week to learn about the character and authority of King Jesus.MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49439964RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/
