www.tswrightspeaks.comwww.godcenteredconcept.comwww.jesussaid.tvIn this powerful episode of TS Wright Speaks, we dive deep into Revelation 5:1–10, uncovering one of the most profound scenes in all of Scripture.John witnesses a sealed scroll in the hand of God—written on both sides and secured with seven seals. A search begins across heaven, earth, and under the earth… yet no one is found worthy to open it. That is, until the Lion of the tribe of Judah—the Lamb who was slain—steps forward.This passage reveals far more than end-times prophecy. It unveils the identity, authority, and worthiness of Jesus Christ as King, Redeemer, and the only one able to execute God's divine plan.In this episode, we explore:The meaning of the scroll and its seven sealsWhy no one in creation was worthy to open itThe dual identity of Jesus as both Lion and LambThe significance of the seven spirits of GodHeavenly worship and what it reveals about Christ's authorityWhat it truly means to surrender and live under His LordshipThis isn't just about prophecy—it's about who Jesus is right now and how that demands a response from us.If Revelation is about anything, it is this: Jesus Christ is worthy—and our lives must reflect that truth.Episode Summary (Bullet Format – For Blog/Show Notes)The scroll represents God's divine plan and authorityWritten on both sides → completeness and perfectionSeven seals → divine authority and total securityNo one is worthy → highlights human and angelic limitationJesus alone is worthy → both Lion (authority) and Lamb (sacrifice)The seven spirits → fullness of God's SpiritWorship in heaven centers on Jesus, not manBelievers are redeemed to become a kingdom and priestsTrue faith = surrender, obedience, and allegiance to ChristCall to Action (CTA)Subscribe for ongoing deep biblical teachingShare this episode with others studying RevelationReflect: Is Jesus truly Lord over every area of your life?Revelation 5, seven seals, scroll of God, Lion of Judah, Lamb of God, Jesus Christ authority, end times prophecy, Bible teaching, Christian podcast, worship in heaven, worthiness of Christ, biblical prophecy explained, TS Wright Speaks, Book of Revelation study, faith and obedience, kingdom of God, apocalyptic scripture#Revelation5 #WorthyIsTheLamb #BibleTeaching #ChristianPodcast #EndTimes #JesusIsLord #FaithAndObedience #KingdomOfGod #TSWrightSpeaks

Fr. Mike unpacks the signs of the kingdom of God that Christ performed while on Earth. These signs of the kingdom are a way for us to see that Jesus is not just “another prophet” but is, in fact, the Son of God. Fr. Mike reminds us that these miracles and signs can strengthen the faith, but they can also be opportunities for “offense.” We also examine the authority that Christ entrusts to St. Peter, and his unique role within the college of apostles, just like the unique role the Holy Father has within the Church today. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 547-553. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

In August 1680, an alliance of Puebloan peoples, led by a mysterious religious man named Po’pay (also spelled Popé), launched a surprise attack that forced the Spanish entirely out of New Mexico 82 years after they had first settled it. Po’pay's rebellion would combine elements that will remind longstanding listeners of King Philip's War in New England and Opechancanough's surprise attack in Virginia in March 1622. Unlike the Wampanoags and the Pamunkeys, however, Po’pay would achieve his war aims. Along the way we examine the causes of the revolt, the preparations for the ambush, and the terrible first days setting up the siege of Santa Fe, which will be taken up next time.

Drawing from Scripture, he outlines how these influences operate and how believers can recognize them.Key topics include:Why the Kingdom of God has a defined biblical meaning, not a flexible modern interpretationWhat a true disciple actually is—learning not only what Jesus taught, but doing what He didHow false teachers introduce destructive ideas rooted in spiritual deceptionThe role of greed, sensuality, and personal ambition in spreading false teachingHow false prophets can appear trustworthy while ultimately leading people away from truthWhy fruit over time—not first impressions—reveals authenticityThe reality of false apostles and how spiritual authority can be misusedHow false teaching can lead to real-world consequences, including emotional, mental, and even physical effectsWhy discernment requires both biblical knowledge and spiritual awarenessKen also shares multiple real-life ministry examples, including:A man healed of schizophrenia after renouncing false prophetic influenceA woman healed after rejecting false doctrine she had held for yearsDeliverance from spiritual oppression connected to false leadership structuresThe episode emphasizes that discernment is not optional—it is essential. Believers are called not to fear, but to test what they hear, examine fruit, and remain grounded in Scripture.How to Engage with Orbis:- Check out Ken's book,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ On the Road with the Holy Spirit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://a.co/d/0OVIIA0- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Partner with Orbis Financially⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give - Orbis Ministries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- Download the app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠App - Orbis Ministries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-⁠⁠⁠⁠ Are you interested in learning about Holy Spirit-led ministry?

Why is it that there are scarcely any left among us who really believe that only the few will reach heaven? There can only be one answer: because it is now generally held that heaven can be obtained on much easier terms than those prescribed by Christ. The adulterous generation in which our lot is cast are quite sure that heaven can be reached without treading the only way which leads there, that the kingdom of God can be entered without passing through "much tribulation"

In this episode David, Mike, Ruthie and Jeff talk about the Kingdom of God. The discussion centers on the bylaw of anger within the Kingdom of God.

Fr. Mike explores Jesus' mission of establishing the kingdom of God on earth, and who belongs in the kingdom of Heaven: all people. We see how Jesus identifies himself with the poor, lowly, and those who the world says are not important. If we do not welcome them, we cannot enter the kingdom. Fr. Mike challenges us to examine the fact that in order to gain entry into the kingdom, “one must give everything. Words are not enough; deeds are required.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 541-546.

Now that we are having some of our preconceived ideas challenged and admitting that some of our preconceptions have become misconceptions, how do we reconceptualize what we mean when we talk about the kingdom of God? We must admit that Jesus's message was in fact the kingdom of God. He showed up and announced the end of every other kingdom and the beginning of the true Kingdom of God!   The Homestead Mobile - March 13th, 2026

On This Week at Charlestown Road, Jason and Roger revisit Sunday morning’s sermon, “Above All Else,” digging deeper into an extremely important question: “What is the kingdom of God?”

Wednesday March 18, 2026V Week of LentToday's readings reveal the contrast between resistance and surrender, law and life, and control and childlike trust.In Exodus 7:8–24, God displays His power through signs and wonders before Pharaoh, yet his heart remains hard. Even when confronted with undeniable truth, Pharaoh refuses to yield. It's a sobering reminder that repeated resistance can dull our responsiveness to God's voice.In 2 Corinthians 2:14–3:6, Paul celebrates the triumph of Christ, describing believers as the aroma of His victory. Our lives carry the fragrance of the gospel—either life to those who receive it or a reminder of truth to those who resist it. This new covenant is not written on stone, but on hearts, brought to life by the Spirit who gives freedom.And in Mark 10:1–16, Jesus teaches about covenant faithfulness and then welcomes children, affirming that the kingdom of God belongs to those who receive it like a child. While adults debate and defend, children simply come—trusting, open, and dependent.This episode invites us to soften our hearts, live as carriers of Christ's life-giving presence, and approach God not with resistance—but with humble, childlike faith.

Many kingdoms come and go…but only one Kingdom remains forever. Yet many Christians seem confused. Does Jesus presently reign — or will He only start when he returns to Jerusalem? If He is reigning, is His kingdom on earth? And if so, where exactly do we see the government upon His shoulder, and is it increasing without end? What is the gospel actually doing…what will it achieve…and how important is it to get this right?

This week, Griffin Towle shares a message from Luke 9:57–10:20 titled "Follow, Send, Follow." Drawing from Jesus' sending of the 72, Griffin unpacks what it truly means to follow Jesus — and what happens when we do.Walking through Jesus' challenging exchanges with would-be followers, the commissioning of the 72, and their joyful return, this message confronts the assumptions many of us hold about who is qualified for mission. Griffin makes clear that evangelism is not reserved for the spiritually elite or those in vocational ministry — it is a command and a lifestyle for every follower of Jesus who has given him their wholehearted yes.Griffin anchors the sermon in a simple but powerful cycle: follow, send, follow. We follow Jesus by surrendering our will to His rule and reign. He then sends us — as lambs, not lions — into the harvest. And as we go in obedience, He follows us, working through us to demonstrate and declare that the Kingdom of God has come near.Ultimately, this sermon is an invitation to examine where we've been saying "Lord, let me first..." and to trade our conditions for a full yes. As we abide in Jesus and align our will with His, we become conduits of His Kingdom — sent into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and relationships to proclaim and demonstrate the life that is available to all who follow the King.

Today's readings.. (Leviticus 26), (Psalm 137-139), (Luke 9)Do you, do I, want God to really “know my heart”? The concluding words of David's Psalm 139 are some of the most challenging in Scripture.  It seems obvious that David wrote it when he had formed a most intimate relationship with God, he declares, “How precious to me are your thoughts O God!  How vast is the sum of them!  If I would count them, they are more than the sand.  I awake, and I am still with you.” [v.17,18]David's meditations in this Psalm are most meaningful, he had a sense of really being “with God” and God, with him.  How intensely personal is his closing appeal to the Almighty, “Search me, O God, and know my heart!  Try me and know my thoughts!  And see if there is any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!”   But that leading by God comes at a price – the surrender of self, of our human inclinations – to God's leading. David surely knew what Moses wrote at God's direction, we read it today in Leviticus ch. 26.  The first 13 verses list all the blessings to come on the nation if they will truly serve their God who has delivered them from slavery in Egypt. “I will make my dwelling among you,” says God, “I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people.” [v.11,12]  David was leading the people to do this – he would have fallen asleep in death  convinced that his son Solomon would complete what he had begun in making the nation, God's people.  His Psalm explains a vital underlying factor in serving God, that, observing God's laws, must be followed by an attitude of heart and mind that achieves a personal relationship with God.       Sadly, the rest of Leviticus 26, which details the actions of God when there is a failure to obey his laws, came terribly true for most who journeyed to the promised land under Moses.. Our awareness – of the light and darkness of the paths of life – is vital for our eternal health: they are excellently summed up in the words of Jesus in the last verse of our Luke (ch.9) reading.  “No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”  Our innermost thoughts as we prayerfully read God's word each day will keep us looking forward.

Honor reveals the glory of God, and every believer carries that glory. In this message, Richard Gordon teaches on the power and fruit of living a life marked by honor, inviting us to become a people known for the way we see and value one another. Honor holds great significance in the kingdom of God—but why? What does it look like in our everyday lives, and how does it shape the way we relate to those around us? This message is a call to look and live more like Jesus: seeing people from His perspective, loving others as He loves, and representing His kingdom well on the earth. Our prayer is that as you watch, you would encounter the heart of God and be encouraged to live a life defined by honor.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #293 Title: Faith Is Spiritual Gravity   Web Description: When you wake up in the morning, you do not expect to lose the force of gravity and float off into space. Gravity is always there and always working. Likewise, you should not think of faith as something that you lose and try to get back. Just like gravity, faith should always be there. Do not pump up your faith at times when you need it. Just keep growing your faith at all times.   Show Notes: We tend to think of faith as something we apply in the moment if we want to see something happen or need an answer to prayer. A better concept of faith is illustrated by the force of gravity. Gravity does not turn on or off according to momentary needs. It is always active as a permanent part of our lives. And that is what our faith should be. Of course, faith can trigger a miracle. But that will not happen because you build up your faith at that moment. It happens because you have grown to a level of faith in your walk with God.   Faith grows. It is tested and tried. It is something dwelling in you because you have exercised it consistently in your walk with God. Faith is that which makes the unseen visible. Faith is what God moved in when He spoke the Word that created the universe, making things that are seen out of that which is invisible. God is invisible, and yet Christ visibly manifested the Father into the earth on a continual basis. He did not pump up some faith when someone needed a healing. He simply let the Father impact the physical realm through Him. And people were healed by their own faith in Christ.   If we want to measure our faith, then Christ is our example. His faith was in the Father dwelling in Him, and He manifested the works of the Father. And so our faith is not what we manage to pump up now and then, but rather it is the faith that Christ and the Father are dwelling in us by the Holy Spirit. Faith is a state of being that is constantly manifesting in the world the works of the Holy Spirit. Faith is what we keep appropriating until we are filled up to all the fullness of God, and out of that fullness the Kingdom of God will become more and more visible.   Key Verses:   •       Matthew 9:27–29. "It shall be done to you according to your faith." •       Hebrews 11:1–3. "What is seen was not made out of things which are visible." •       Hebrews 11:1 (KJV). "Faith is the substance of things hoped for." •       John 14:16–21. "You will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you." •       Romans 8:11. "If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He … will also give life to your mortal bodies." •       Ephesians 3:13–19. "Know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God."   Quotes:   •       "When we see the created world around us, we see the result of faith—the faith that God moved in when He spoke the Word that created all things throughout the universe." •       "We need to have a faith that the Kingdom of God surrounds us, is in us, and is to manifest before us on a visible level. And the emanation of that faith must be constant." •       "We need to build our faith and grow our faith surrounding what the Word of God has said already is. In other words, it is a reality in the realm of spirit, but we need to see it manifest in this visible world."   Takeaways:   1.    Faith is not something temporary that we exercise only at the moment we need it. Faith is actually like gravity, which is manifesting in our lives all day long. 2.    Faith is not something we pump up because it has gone flat. It is something we build and grow in a consistent walk with God. 3.    Faith is that which makes the unseen visible. And for the Kingdom to manifest daily in our world from the invisible realm requires a faith that is daily manifesting in our lives.

Gem Of the Day (G.O.D.) about Matthew 6:33

What's So New About the New Covenant? Part 1 | KIB 522 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description: In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing #522, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore a vital question for the remnant in the last days: What is so new about the New Covenant? This episode uncovers how the promises of the New Covenant were already embedded in the Old Testament and how many believers have been disconnected from the very foundations that explain who we are in Christ. Mary Lou opens with practical warnings about spiritual deception in culture, hidden occult influence, and the need for prayer over vulnerable regions, infrastructure, and the nation. She also shares an important encouragement for God's people to remain watchful, prayerful, and spiritually prepared. Dr. Lake then begins a powerful new teaching series showing that the New Covenant does not abolish God's previous revelation, but rather internalizes it. He explains how the Torah being written on the heart, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, circumcision of heart, and the renewal of the mind are all part of the deeper reality of walking with God in the last days. This is a timely message for believers who want to move beyond shallow Christianity, rediscover the Hebraic foundations of the faith, and understand how spiritual maturity, healing, and obedience work together in the Kingdom of God.

The Habit of High Achievers | വിജയികളുടെ ശീലം | Malayalam Christian Message | Br. Damien Antony | Morning Glory Podcast - 1868 | 17 March 2026Welcome to another powerful episode of Blessing Today Morning Glory. Today, we dive deep into the concept of Discipline. Many people mistake discipline for punishment, but in the Kingdom of God, discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. As Hebrews 12:11 says, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but later on, it produces a harvest of righteousness."In this Malayalam Christian Speech, we explore how daily spiritual habits and self-control shape our character, protect our future, and build spiritual authority. If you are looking for Malayalam Motivation rooted in the Word of God, this session will inspire you to embrace the training of the Holy Spirit for a life of excellence.What you will learn in this Malayalam Bible Study:

Are we focusing on the wrong threats while ignoring the ones growing right inside our own communities? Join Mike, Tim, and Seth as they dive deep into the biblical definition of the Antichrist, the manipulative power of fear, and how the modern church often aligns itself with worldly systems rather than the Kingdom of God. This episode moves beyond traditional labels to explore what it actually means to live in a cosmically contested space. In this conversation, the team unpacks the startling New Testament reality that antichrists are often plural and internal to the church, rather than a single external boogeyman. We discuss the recent tragic events in Iran and how nationalistic rhetoric often blinds us to the suffering of others. By looking at the life of Jesus through the lens of security versus threat, we explore why the church is so easily led by fear and how we can begin to resist the systemic powers of individualism, tribalism, and redemptive violence.

Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner dives into the wild world where AI and the church intersect, and trust me, it's a ride you don't want to miss. He kicks things off by hitting the nail on the head: AI can't replace what the church is all about—love, community, and that good ol' embodied presence. You know, the stuff that makes us human and not just another line of code. As he unpacks the future of church ministry, he emphasizes three key practices that we need to lean into: being radically present (because showing up is still a thing), fostering genuine community (not just a bunch of faces on a screen), and exercising prophetic discernment (because sometimes you've gotta call out the nonsense). So, if you've ever wondered how the church can thrive in this tech-saturated age without losing its soul, this convo's for you. Grab a seat, kick back, and let's figure out what being the church looks like in a world buzzing with algorithms and AI. The landscape of faith is changing, and it's time to face the music! Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner dives headfirst into the chaotic dance between the church and the rapidly evolving world of AI and technology. He's not here to sugarcoat things; he's got a front-row seat to the madness and is ready to unpack what it all means for our beloved church. Let's face it, AI is making waves, and some church folks are still trying to figure out how to plug in their Wi-Fi, let alone navigate the digital age. Dr. Skinner argues that while technology can churn out information faster than you can say 'Holy Spirit,' it can't replace the raw, messy, beautiful essence of community. He emphasizes the need for the church to lean into genuine presence and prophetic discernment. After all, AI can't hug you when you're down or share a meal with you during life's ups and downs. It's the tangible love and embodiment of community that distinguishes the church in this tech-heavy era. So, buckle up and tune in as we explore how the church can remain a beacon of hope and love amid the tech storm!Takeaways:AI might be the shiny new toy, but it can't replace the love and presence that the church embodies. Seriously, have you ever seen a robot give a hug?In the next decade, the church better step up its game with real community and discernment, or risk becoming just another digital echo in a sea of algorithms.The church's mission has always been about physical presence and genuine connection; if we think AI can do that, we really need to rethink our priorities.Let's be real: artificial intelligence may help with logistics, but it can't offer the comfort and companionship that only a fellow human can provide.Resources:Canoeing the Mountains by Tod Bolsingerhttps://www.amazon.com/Canoeing-Mountains-Christian-Leadership-Uncharted/dp/0830841264The Wounded Healer by Henri Nouwenhttps://www.amazon.com/Wounded-Healer-Ministry-Contemporary-Society/dp/0385148038Richard Rohr's Contemplative Wisdom (Center for Action and Contemplation)https://cac.orgThe Kingdom of God is Here and Now (Dallas Willard lecture series)https://conversatio.org/the-kingdom-of-god-is-here-and-now/Desiring the Kingdom by James K.A.

Worry whispers lies about a future that hasn't even happened yet.In this message from the Unfollow Fear series, Pastor Bobby Chandler explains how worry quietly steals your peace, distracts you from what matters most, and keeps you trapped in fear.Jesus told His followers not to worry about tomorrow because our Heavenly Father already knows what we need. Instead of letting worry control our thoughts, the Bible teaches us to bring everything to God in prayer and trust Him with the future.If you've been struggling with anxiety, stress, or fear about what's ahead, this message will help you break free from the worry trap and experience the peace that only God can give.Key Scriptures:Luke 12:22-32Philippians 4:6-7Matthew 11:28—Subscribe for more messages from Authentic ChurchAuthenticChurch.comHickory, North CarolinaGIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

Matthew 6:19-24 The Revolution Jesus is leading us into has to work its way into our systems of valuing - exposing what we treasure. Jesus presses this issue because He is fully aware of the duality resulting from trying to live in both Kingdoms - of Mammon and of God - at the same time. The result will be crippling anxiety and paralyzing worry. So… His solution is to choose relentless focus on the Kingdom of God and to let that choice inform our attitudes and behaviors around money, time, and other measures of value. By Bill Dogterom

This powerful message takes us to the very first sermon Jesus preached, found in Mark chapter 1, where He makes a stunning announcement: 'The time has come. The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news.' What strikes us immediately is how direct and disruptive Jesus is right from the start. He doesn't ease into His ministry with comfortable platitudes or gentle encouragement. Instead, He declares that a King has arrived, and when a king arrives, everything changes. We're confronted with a fundamental question that each of us must answer: Who sits on the throne of our lives? The message challenges our cultural mantras of 'follow your heart' and 'live your truth' by reminding us that the throne of our hearts was never ours to occupy in the first place. Repentance, we discover, isn't about self-hatred or shame—it's actually beautiful. It's the act of getting up from a seat we were never meant to sit in and allowing the rightful King to take His place. This isn't bad news; it's an invitation into abundant life. The King who calls us to surrender is the same King who surrendered everything for us at the cross. When we submit to Jesus, we don't lose our identity—we gain it. We become sons and daughters of the King, with full access to relationship with Him. This message reminds us that the gospel is first about what God has already done for us, not what we must do for Him.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

We're not just a church. We're a Family.Our Vision is clear, simple, and unique. Our vision is Jesus in you. Our vision is for the people of God to have a faith that holds them. The kind of faith that vanquishes doubt, verifies identity, and voraciously contends for inner peace. A faith that removes the past, clarifies the present, and breathes life into the future. Our vision is the Kingdom of God built within the people of this obscure, yet mighty generation. A kingdom so great that its purpose destroys the common lack of self worth. A kingdom that sharpens the eyes, tenses the muscles, and readies itself for the battle against darkness. A Kingdom that brings purpose and healing to those who have failed more than succeeded, who are sinners more than saints, and who have known more pain than pleasure. Our vision is to challenge the weak and unproductive church of our day. To step beyond those who are religiously immature and search out those who for their love for Christ cannot be offended. Our hope is to raise warriors instead of those who think God only exists to keep bad things from happening. To raise those who know that following Christ means suffering loss yet gaining all things. Our vision is clear, simple, and unique…. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

What does true greatness look like in the kingdom of God? In Mark 10:41–45, Jesus confronts a power struggle among His disciples and reveals a radical truth: greatness is found in servanthood, not control. When James and John sought positions of honor, the other disciples became indignant—exposing a deeper problem in every human heart: the desire for human greatness and power over others. Jesus responds with one of the most countercultural teachings in Scripture. While worldly leaders "lord it over" people, Jesus says His followers must take the opposite path—becoming servants and even slaves of all. We explore how greatness, suffering, and servanthood are inseparably connected in the Christian life.

Everyone is searching for something. Security. Peace. Love. Belonging.In a sense, we're all treasure hunters, digging somewhere hoping we'll finally find what makes life feel whole.But what if the treasure we're chasing isn't where we think it is?In this message we explore Jesus' powerful parables in Matthew 13 about a treasure hidden in a field and a pearl of great price—and why discovering the Kingdom of God changes everything. It's not about religious duty or what we should do. It's about the joy of finding the one treasure worth giving everything for: knowing Christ and being found in Him.If you've ever felt like there must be more to life than what you've found so far, this message is for you.

Once you are saved, you must understand that this is not IT! IT is just the commencement! A commencement to NOW discovering the POWER and PRINCIPLES of the Kingdom of God of which you are NOW a citizen. This message unleashes this reality!

OUTLINE:Come Consistently (18:1-8)Come Confessionally (18:9-14)Come Childlike (18:15-17)QUESTIONS:(Luke 18:1,7-8) Where in your life have you been tempted to stop praying and lose heart? Jesus already knows how easy it is for us to grow weary when answers seem delayed. As you reflect, consider where disappointment, delay, pain, confusion, or silence has made you less eager to come before God. Ask yourself where you have quietly concluded, “What's the point?” and let that reveal the places where Jesus is calling you back to steady dependence. (Luke 18:2-8) What does persistent prayer reveal about what you actually believe concerning God's character?   The widow keeps coming because she believes someone must hear her case, but Jesus contrasts the unjust judge with our righteous God. The point is not that God is reluctant and must be worn down, but that if even an unrighteous judge eventually responds, how much more will a good and just Father respond to His people. As you answer, think about whether your prayer life reflects confidence that God is good, attentive, just, and faithful, or whether it reveals fear that He is distant, indifferent, or slow to care. (Luke 18:9-12) In what ways are you tempted to approach God like the Pharisee rather than the tax collector?  The Pharisee's prayer is full of comparison, self-congratulation, and a spiritual résumé. He is technically praying, but he is really admiring himself in God's presence. As you reflect, consider how often you measure yourself against others, lean on your good behavior, or subtly believe God should be more pleased with you because of your discipline, morality, service, or knowledge. Ask God to expose the ways self-righteousness can hide inside spiritual language. (Luke 18:13-14) What would honest confession look like for you right now? The tax collector stands at a distance, will not even lift his eyes to heaven, and cries, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” His confession is simple, honest, and unguarded. He is not managing appearances. He is acknowledging his need. As you answer, name what needs to be brought into the light before God without excuse, spin, or self-protection. Consider what it would look like to stop defending yourself and simply ask for mercy. (Luke 18:15-17) How is Jesus inviting you to trust Him more like a child this week, with dependence rather than control? Jesus welcomes little children and says the kingdom of God belongs to those who receive it like a child. Children come empty-handed, trusting, dependent, and aware that they need help. As you reflect, think about where you are trying to manage outcomes, maintain control, or prove your strength instead of receiving from God with simple trust. This week, where is Jesus inviting you to surrender control, lean on Him, and come with open hands rather than clenched fists? SCRIPTURE REFERENCE:Luke 18:1-17NEXT WEEK:Luke 18:18-30

Today's question is one that Pastor says has been the question asked with the most fear.  Other ways this question is asked:     ⁃    What is the unforgivable sin?     ⁃    What is the sin against the Holy Spirit?     ⁃    How can I be sure I haven't done this?     ⁃    If I have done this is there any hope?     ⁃    How do I avoid the unforgivable sin? Matthew 12:31-32 Jesus says, "And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." What is that sin? Let's start by looking at the context …     ⁃    Jesus was preaching and healing. Religious authorities saw Jesus as a threat. Jesus heals a paralyzed man and the religious leaders say Jesus is blaspheming because He told the man your sins are forgiven, take up your mat and walk. And the religious leadership are angry and they continue to get angrier. Matthew 9:3     ⁃    Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples, hosts a dinner, invites his tax collector friends and Jesus attends too. The religious leaders accuse Jesus of "eating with tax collectors and sinners." Matthew 9:11     ⁃    Jesus heals a demon possessed man and the religious leaders say Jesus was able to heal the man through demonic powers. Matthew 9:34     ⁃    Jesus and disciples are walking in the grain fields on the Sabbath Day, picking and eating grain and the religious leaders say they are working on the day of rest, which is unlawful. Matthew 12:2     ⁃    Jesus heals a demon possessed man and now the religious leaders plot to kill Jesus. Matthew 12:14     ⁃    Jesus heals a man and they say that Jesus healed by the power of Beelzebul (the devil) Matthew 12:24 It is at this point that we continue with the verses just before our text for the day on the unforgivable sin. We read in Matthew 12:25-28 "Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? (Meaning how can I be healing from demons by using demons?) And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you." What Jesus is saying is look at what you see.  Stop judging on the basis of your own anger and bitterness and look at what the Bible has said along. God's healing is being brought to people. The Holy Spirit is testifying that the Messiah has arrived! Then Jesus speaks the words we started with this morning. Note that the first words are "EVERY KIND OF SIN AND SLANDER CAN BE FORGIVEN." Jesus goes on and what He's saying is if we continually refuse to listen to the Holy Spirit and actually go so far as to call what the Spirit does as demonic then we are setting ourselves up for the unforgivable sin.  (Note: Jesus is not saying they have done this, but He is calling them to search the scriptures, to search their hearts.) The Holy Spirit always testifies to Jesus. Jesus is saying do not sin against the Spirit because if you persist in that you are cutting yourself off from the only One who can save. The Holy Spirit leads us to faith and to Jesus, who opens our eyes to see the goodness and grace of God. What is the sin against the Holy Spirit? IT IS THE CONSCIOUS, DELIBERATE AND PERSISTENT REJECTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S TESTIMONY TO THE IDENTITY AND SAVING POWER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Jesus speaks these words of warning to them to lead them to repentance and faith.  God is merciful. His desire is for ALL. Classic example:     ⁃    Saul of Tarsus - the persecutor of believers who becomes a transformed man - Apostle Paul.  Pastor shares Saul's story of transformation. Paul understood the sin of the Holy Spirit because that was the path he had been on in his life. But then Saul has an encounter with God that changes him and he understands the immense patience of God and His amazing grace. Pastor closes with Romans 10:9-10 "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." God is good!

Romans 11:33-36 — In this sermon on Romans 11:33–36 titled “His Ways Are Past Finding Out,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones talks about something that no amount of words can adequately explain. God's ways are so immense that they cannot be traced out. There is a great divide of Christianity; not in regard to particular details, but rather “our whole approach to the gospel.” Is the Christian called to proclamation or to dialogue? When one looks at the apostolic method and message, do the apostles start with modern humanity to make their declarations for the gospel? People must be born again of water and spirit to enter the kingdom of God. The natural person constantly misunderstands the whole of God's way. God is absolute, infinite, and holy in every respect. The listener is encouraged to look of humanity's limited nature in a way that may have never been considered. The gospel is hid to those who are lost and in their natural state; all humans are sinners and ignorant of who God truly is. Look upon the grace of God and stand in awe. His ways are far beyond finding out, but it is here that one gains assurance for salvation. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29?v=20251111

Today’s Topics: Joshua Charles joins Terry for Friday with the Fathers 1) Gospel – Mark 12:28-34 – One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked Him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” Jesus replied, “The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” The scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You are right in saying, He is One and there is no other than He. And to love Him with all your heart, with all your understanding,  with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And when Jesus saw that he answered with understanding, He said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And no one dared to ask Him any more questions. Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Terry and Joshua continue discussing Early Father of the Church: Saint Pope Leo the Great

In this special crossover episode—recorded at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary—Camden Bucey joins Jonathan Master, President of Greenville Seminary, for a conversation on the life, method, and enduring relevance of Geerhardus Vos (1862–1949). Vos stands as a remarkable bridge figure: Dutch by birth, deeply shaped by continental Reformed theology and close friendship with Herman Bavinck, yet firmly planted in the American confessional Presbyterian tradition as the first chair of biblical theology at Old Princeton Seminary alongside B. B. Warfield. Drs. Bucey and Master explore Vos's foundational distinction between biblical theology and systematic theology—and why both are indispensable for faithful exegesis and preaching. Biblical theology, which Vos himself preferred to call "the history of special revelation," reads Scripture as the organic, progressive unfolding of God's redemptive acts in history—from the protoevangelium in Genesis 3:15 to the consummation of all things in Christ. That redemptive-historical framework opens up notoriously difficult passages (Hebrews 6, the unforgivable sin) in ways systematics alone cannot. The conversation also covers Vos's two-age eschatology, his key works (Biblical Theology, The Pauline Eschatology, Grace and Glory, The Teaching of Jesus Concerning the Kingdom of God and the Church), and the question of why Vos remained at Princeton when Machen and others departed.
