From The Boys to Countdown, Jensen Ackles loves being a throwback tough guy—and this time, he's chasing a maniac in LA as part of a covert task force. Countdown is Prime Video's latest procedural action-thriller. It's got cartel missions, brain tumors, prison breaks, and a Chernobyl-level threat. In this podcast, we review the first three episodes—from the cast to the plot, pros, cons, and our comparisons (24, The Terminal List, and Lazarus). Tune in and welcome to Today's Episode!
Presented by Julie Busteed Have you ever been described as a “Martha?” When I say “Martha,” I'm referring to the account of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 which says: As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:38-42). Can you relate to Martha? I certainly can. I often find myself caught up in the preparations—focused on the details, planning, organizing—because I genuinely enjoy it. But sometimes like Martha, I get so consumed by all the things that serving becomes a burden rather than a joy. Jesus gently reminded Martha—and me—that “few things are needed and indeed only one!” I need that reminder: to keep my focus on my guests, to be present, listen, and offer encouragement. Hospitality should be outward-focused. It's not that preparation is wrong. It's good and necessary—but it shouldn't take center stage. The priority is the guest, not the checklist. It seems to me that Martha truly wanted to give her best. She opened her home and gave of herself and time, but she became frustrated when her sister Mary had a different priority. Interestingly in John's gospel we see a later moment in Mary's life. After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, she and her siblings hosted Jesus and his disciples again: Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served (John 12:2a). Martha is still serving, still practicing hospitality, but it seems to me she's not distracted. Her priorities have changed. That's my prayer for me and you. That we would continue to practice hospitality—showing God's love through our service, without letting the details overshadow the purpose.
Revelations on the power of Jesus's Ressurection and how to use it every single day!FAITHBUCKS.COMDO WHAT YOU CAN & GOD WILL DO WHAT YOU CAN'T! Now that is the way it's always been. Like when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, the PEOPLE couldn't raise him from the dead, but they COULD roll the STONE away from the door. So what did Jesus do? Did He roll away the stone?--No, He said, "Roll YE away the stone," & they DID it. That was something THEY could do, so why not let them? Their obedience in rolling away the stone also was a manifestation of their faith that God was going to do what they couldn't do. Do you get it? Your obedience in doing what God tells you to do shows your faith that God is going to do the REST, what you CAN'T do.38. LET'S NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, BUT LET'S DO WHAT WE CAN DO TODAY, right now! Because look what God's going to do tomorrow! Wow! God's going to do mighty miracles tomorrow! He's going to do greater things than we ever imagined! Let's do what WE can do today, so GOD will be able to do what HE can do TOMORROW!39. WE CAN DO THE "WENTING." As my Mother used to quote, "As they WENT they were healed." God told them, "Go thou & do this! Go thou & do that! Go wash at the Pool of Siloam. Go home & tell your loved ones." And "As they WENT, God HEALED," or "as they WENT, God gave them the POWER." We have to do the "wenting."-- Luke 17:14 .40. WE'VE GOT TO DO THE OBEYING. We've got to do what we know God has told us to do! We have to first of all do the forsaking, the dropping out, the dedicating to God, the utter dedication, the complete 100% COMMITMENT to God. We don't have to know what's going to happen tomorrow or what He's going to do in the future or what's going to happen as a result.41. WE DON'T HAVE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW! All we have to know is what God is going to do today. Obey God & do what He has told us now.--Right now! Do it NOW, you've got to do it now! You can't wait for tomorrow! TODAY is the day of salvation. You cannot do it tomorrow!42. GOD HAS HIS TIMES! LET ME TELL YOU, FOLKS, YOU'D BETTER OBEY GOD IN THAT SPLIT SECOND OF THAT GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY! If you miss God's timetable, you're going to not only miss the TRAIN but you'll also miss the BOAT, & you'll get left behind & things will never be the same again! When God says, "Now! Right now!" let me tell you, you had better do it now, or you are going to miss the boat & suffer for it! God help us to obey instantly when God lays something on our hearts.-Do it now! Right now!
Contrition is love! To many this will seem to be an absurdity, but when we look not only to the writings of the fathers, but to the life of Christ himself something far more beautiful begins to emerge. Contrition, in order for it to be genuine and not to lead to despair, must be tied to a depth of love that does not allow for any other response from the heart than to weep. One of the perfect examples came tonight through the teaching of Abba Poimen. “On one occasion, as he was returning to Egypt, Abba Poimen saw a woman sitting on a tomb and weeping bitterly. He said to himself: ‘If all of the delights of the world were assembled in front of her, they could not comfort her soul, because she is mourning. So, also, should the monk always have contrition in his soul'”. This woman lost her beloved and no one and no thing in this world could prevent her from mourning his loss. For example, when a couple has been married for many years and, as Christ tells us, the two become one, the loss of this love is like the dying of part of oneself. The depth of the love is mirrored by the intensity of the experience of the loss. Similarly, a soul who not only understands that Christ is her Beloved, but has experienced it in the depths of her heart, and lives it on a daily basis, is going to experience the loss or betrayal of this love as something that pierces the heart. Contrary to public opinion, love is not blind. In fact, just the opposite. Love, the more that the heart has been purified and freed of selfishness and pride, is going to see things with a perfect clarity such that the individual participates in the experience of the Other. The great example of this is Mary, the Mother of our Lord. It is prophesied by Simeon that her child was destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel and that a sort of sorrow would pierce through her heart as well. Mary was not an outside observer but through her humility and love participated radically in the ministry and suffering of her son. The death of the beloved, of Love, could not help but pierce her heart, transfixing it to her son's. Such should be our experience of contrition. The deeper our love for the Lord becomes the more we see of our poverty and of His immeasurable compassion, the more our hearts are pierced with sorrow when we turn away from Him. In this sense, nothing is small or inconsequential. We see how our hearts can betray us and betray Christ. This is part of the reality of allowing ourselves to be drawn into the mystery of the Cross; not only to allow ourselves to be stretched out in love for others, but to experience how our own betrayal and neglect adds to the poverty of a world darkened by sin. Weep we must because love demands it. This we must understand literally as we see Christ himself weep at the tomb of his friend Lazarus and how shaken he is when he sees the multitude that are like sheep without a shepherd, abandoned, wounded and beyond recognition. May God have mercy on us, and may our faith be such that we allow love to pierce our hearts as Christ allowed it to pierce His own. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:13:36 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 261, # 4 00:29:59 Maureen Cunningham: Page ? 00:34:07 Myles Davidson: Replying to "Page ?" 252 #6 00:36:02 Anthony: In reading Archbishop Raya, The Face of God.

In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss some intel being shared in the LimaCharlie community.A new malware strain known as OtterCookie, developed by the North Korean APT group Lazarus, has been dissected in a detailed technical analysis by offensive security expert Mauro Eldritch. Attackers are currently exploiting a critical vulnerability in the Langflow platform — an open-source Python-based web app used to build AI workflows and agents — to deliver a new botnet called Flodrix.A new campaign from an emerging threat group named Water Curse is targeting the software supply chain by leveraging GitHub repositories that masquerade as legitimate security tools. The threat actor known as Scattered Spider, also tracked as UNC3944 by Google and Mandiant, has apparently shifted its operational focus from the retail sector to the US insurance industry, according to a new alert from Google's Threat Intelligence Group.
Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎Hell. It's one of the most uncomfortable, often rejected teachings in the Bible, yet Jesus spoke of it more than anyone else. Why? This message confronts the hard truths found in Jesus' words about judgment, warning, and the eternal consequences of a life lived apart from God. But it does so with an unexpected twist: showing how even the doctrine of hell can lead us to deeper self-awareness, peace, and a clearer picture of God's love.Through the story of the rich man and Lazarus, we explore three counterintuitive truths:Hell helps us understand where we find our identityHell helps us live at peace in a broken worldHell helps us know the radical, sacrificial love of JesusThis is not a message of fear, but of rescue, a sobering yet hope-filled invitation to find your life, your peace, and your future in the only One who faced the fire so you would never have to.

The people who stood at the tomb of Lazarus had three different reactions when Jesus raised him from the dead. What were they? What made Jesus weep there? What feelings was He experiencing? When Lazarus walked out of that tomb, what did it prove about Jesus?

Buying happiness with money, the rich man and Lazarus, and do we have a duty as Christians to help Israel? First Sunday after Trinity, Luke 16:19–31
Mike continues our Summer School series by showing us how to rediscover hope by walking through the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead.
Have you ever pondered what happens after this life? In his compelling sermon, Pastor Van dives deep into one of Christianity's most profound truths: the realities of Heaven and Hell. Drawing from the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Pastor Van highlights that our choices in this life hold eternal significance—illustrating that being “good” does not guarantee a relationship with God, nor a place in Heaven. He passionately reminds us that true salvation only comes through Jesus, urging us to reflect on our own lives and those we love.
Rich Man and Lazarus. What does Moses and John have to say about this?Deuteronomy 6:4–13; Psalm 33:12–22; 1 John 4:16–21; Luke 16:19–31Trinity 1
To BELIEVE in Jesus is to BE a Christian. What I mean by believe is not agreeing that the Bible is true and Jesus is who He claimed to be. What I mean by believe is that you are all in on what the Bible teaches and who and what Jesus claimed to be and do. Genuine belief begins with your intellect, but it does not stop there. Genuine belief affects your daily actions and life choices. So, to believe in Jesus is to live in a state of being as a Christian. To BE is to EXIST. You can believe certain things that do not affect your state of existence. An example of this is how I view the reality of math. I believe that math is both real and good, but my belief goes no further than my intellect. It is possible to BELIEVE in Jesus and not BE a Christian. If you are a Christian, your Christianity is more than a religion or something you believe, but who you now are. Think about what the apostle Paul wrote: And you were dead in your offenses and sins, in which you previously walked according to the course of this world.... But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ... (Eph. 2:1, 4-5). If you are a Christian, you were once dead, but now you are alive with Jesus. Because you are now alive with Jesus, Paul continued in Ephesians 2:10, For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. To go from death to life requires a change in your DNA. By the time Jesus arrived at Lazarus grave, he was dead and in his tomb for four days (John 11:17). What that means is that decomposition had already started, his body was bloated, his bodily fluids were already seeping out of the orifices of his body, his internal organs were already breaking down, and because of the breakdown of the tissues of his body there was already an overwhelming stench that was present in the tomb. When Jesus asked for the stone of the tomb to be removed, Lazarus sister, Martha, said to Jesus: Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead for four days (v. 39). For a dead Lazarus to become a living Lazarus, his body would have to go through a complete DNA change, and that is exactly what happened when Jesus raised him from the dead when He shouted: Lazarus, come out (v. 43)! Lazarus body experienced an immediate DNA change, he then got up, and then he walked out of the tomb. Christian, you experienced spiritually what Lazarus experienced physically the day you heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and believed. This is why Paul was compelled to remind the Ephesian Christians who they were with these words: I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Eph. 4:1-3). So, how do you do that? Paul tells us: So then, be careful how you walk, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil (Eph. 5:1516). Okay, but what does that look like in the home? It looks like husbands loving their wives in the same what Jesus loved His church and gave Himself up for her (Eph. 5:25-33). It also looks like wives, subjecting themselves under the headship of their husbands (vv. 5:22-24). Oh... but how does one walk in a manner worthy of our calling in the way we parent our children or in the way we respond to our parents? I struggled if I should address parents and children in the reverse order than how the apostle Paul did it but decided to follow in the same order he chose. Responding to Our Parents in a Manner Worthy of Our Calling Paul addresses children by reminding us of the fifth commandment: Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be prolonged on the land which the Lord your God gives you (Exod. 20:12). For some parents, this commandment is abused; for some children, this commandment is ignored. For a lot of people in the church, I suspect that the fifth commandment is confusing. Just so you know, the first four commandments concern our relationship with God; the last six commandments concern our relationship with people. The first commandment states: You are to have no other gods before Me (Exod. 20:3). How you yield your mind, life, and heart to the first commandment will affect how your respond to idols, how you use the name of the Lord in what you say and do, and what kind of time you spend with the Lord in worship. Concerning the final six commandments, I suggest to you that how you yield your mind, life, and heart to the fifth commandment will affect how value your neighbors wife/husband, that which does not belong to you, your integrity, and what you think you need or do not need. It all begins with what kind of relationship you have with God. Show me how a young man or woman treats their mother or father, and I will show you what kind of husband or wife that person will most likely be. If you cannot honor the person who is responsible for sheltering you, providing food, clothing, and an education for you... then when it comes to the other people in your life... you probably will not be a very honorable person (unless something changes, such as a spiritual DNA change). Now, for the big question many of you may be asking: At what age does the fifth command expire? When you are eighteen? Twenty? How about when you are on your own? How about after you are married and have a family of your own? The commandment doesnt even indicate an age, but the word the apostle Paul uses is Ephesians 6:1 is children. The Greek word for children is teknon and it means exactly the way every English translation translates the word, and that is children. The point Paul is making is that if you are a child, then you have a command from God to obey, and that is to give your parents honor. Notice the order Paul address regarding the family. He begins with wives, then moves on to husbands, then children before he addresses fathers. Why? Because if you are alive today, then you are a child of someone. Not everyone is a parent, but everyone is a child. In the context of Ephesians 6:1, Paul is speaking to non-adults, and the way they are to honor their parents is by obeying them. However, this does not exempt every person who has a parent from honoring their parent(s). So there are two things going on with Ephesians 6:1-3. First, for every non-adult in the room, if you are unwilling to obey your parents, then you are not walking in a manner worthy of your calling as a Christian. Second, if you are a son or a daughter with a living parent, you are not walking in a manner worthy of your calling if you are not giving them honor. Let me help you understand what exactly is being said in these verses. Walking in a manner worthy of your calling as a Christian as a non-adult means that you honor your parent(s) by obeying them so long as what is asked of you does not violate your primary obligation to obey Christ. If a father or mother askes their Christ-following child to sin, then that child is obligated to respectfully disobey. Honoring your parents by obeying them does not mean that you must endure sexual or physical abuse, nor require you to lie, cheat, or steal because your father or mother told you to do something immoral or wrong. But when it comes to the things your parent(s) ask you do such as the rules of the house you live in, you are to honor your mother and father by obeying and respecting them. Non-adult children, listen to me. Paul states that the fifth commandment has a promise tied to it: Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), so that it may turn out well for you, and that you may live long on the earth. Obeying your parents who want you to thrive and succeed will help protect you from the kind of friends and habits that could ruin or shorten your life. The other way it will turn out well for non-adult children who honor their parents through obedience and respect for them, is that you will most likely develop honorable and healthy character traits. So, how old until you do not have to obey all the rules of the home your parents pay for? Until you can pay rent and/or move out on your own. However, when you do move out of the home of your parent(s), to does not mean you are no longer obligated to honor your parents. So, what about those of us who are adults? The fifth command does not state obey although throughout the Bible, non-adult children are expected to be obedient. The fifth commandment is also a principle to live by. Notice what the commandment does not say. It does not say Love, admire, agree with, trust, or drop everything that you are doing for your parents. No, what the fifth commandment states is to Honor your father and mother. The relationship I had with my sons when they were toddlers was very different then, than it is today. How I relate to my 24-year-old son is very different than how I relate to my 14-year-old son. If the day comes that they should ever get married, my relationship with them will be very different than it is today. So what does it mean to honor my father and mother as an adult? I am commanded to honor them no matter where they live, how old they are, what physical condition they are in, or how they feel about me. Tim Keller provides a clear answer that honors the tone of all of scripture when it comes to our parents: Honor is a decision to treat your parents with dignity and with courtesy, and its also a decision to provide long-term loyalty to their best interests.[1] To walk in a manner worthy of my calling as a son or daughter must include seeing my father and mother as individuals created in the image of Almighty God, and that He entrusted my life into their care, and regardless of their sins and faults, I am to honor them by treating them with dignity and to do all that I am able to do to make sure that their best interests are provided for in a way that glorifies God and serves them well. Parenting Children in a Manner Worthy of Our Calling Now to the parents in the room. Paul is addressing dads, but moms are not exempt. The word that Paul uses for discipline is the Greek word, paideia and it also includes instruction, teaching, and training. The other word that is used is instruction which can also mean admonishing, warning, or even counseling. To discipline your children is to enforce boundaries and to provide instruction is to bring your child along guiding and persuading into a person of character because you love them. To be honest with you, parenting is difficult! It is especially difficult in the culture and day that we find ourselves in. To raise your child in a way that protects them from the idols of both our culture and their own hearts is hard work and if it is done poorly or in a way that is heavy on law and light on grace... or heavy on grace and light on law... the consequences can be devastating to watch and experience as a parent. The danger in striving to raise your child well with rules is to be overbearing where truth and the rules of the house leave little room to experience love and grace for your child. This is how you can provoke your children to anger... If you want to raise a resentful, frustrated, and angry child, make sure you leave little to no room for your child to experience the love that you have for him or her. Creating rules and enforcing them is easy and important, but to do that and at the same time making space and time to pay attention to your childs heart, to listen to your child, to be safe enough so that your child feels free to speak to you, to respect the way God put your child together in terms of their personality... takes time and energy. Your children do not only need you be their parent, but they need you be present in their life. However, Paul does not end with his charge to fathers not provoking their children to anger. Our responsibility as parents is to, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. If you want to walk in a manner worthy of the calling in which you have been called, then you must bring up your child in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. What does it look like to bring up your child, and what does it involve? Check out what God instructed His people to do in order to pass on the faith of the parents to their children: Hear, Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. And you shall repeat them diligently to your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up. You shall also tie them as a sign to your hand, and they shall be as frontlets on your forehead. You shall also write them on the doorpost of your house and on your gates. (Deut. 6:48) This passage in Deuteronomy is known as the Shema, and it was recited often as a prayer. Orthodox Jews take the Shema literally in the sense that they literally tie the word of God onto their arms and their foreheads. The scribes and Pharisees in Jesus time did the same thing, what they wore on their foreheads and arms were called phylacteries, and they made sure they were big enough so that everyone could see how religious they were. Listen to what Jesus said about the scribes and Pharisees: The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses. Therefore, whatever they tell you, do and comply with it all, but do not do as they do; for they say things and do not do them. And they tie up heavy burdens and lay them on peoples shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as their finger. And they do all their deeds to be noticed by other people; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments. (Matt. 23:35) Some of you grew up in homes with parents like this. The scribes and Pharisees missed the entire point of the Shema! The point is not to look and act religious, but that what you say you believe in and your relationship to God is actually who you really are. If you are really a Christian, then it should be who you really are when no one is looking, and especially in your home with those who know you better than anyone else. So, when you are walking, when you are shopping, when you are mowing the lawn, and when it comes to the culture of your home... you really are who you say you are. When it comes to the rules in your home and the time you share with your child, and how you interact with the members of your family, consider what it means to love: Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Cor. 13:47) When it comes to the culture of your home, consider what the fruits of the Spirit are in the life of a Christian: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law (Gal 5:2223). What does it look like to, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord? It is the kind of disciple-making Jesus commanded us to be about, and it must begin in the home out of a love for God and a love for the closest neighbors you will ever have, namely the members of your own family.

Jesus . . . was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. Jesus wept. — John 11:33-35 When my sons' mother died unexpectedly, my wife, sons, and stepdaughter and I came together in deep, shared grief. The intensity of our sorrow felt profoundly isolating. But I've come to understand our pain in a new light. Though deeply personal, grief connects us to a broader compassionate community. People have chosen to enter into our pain. It's reminiscent of Jesus' care for Mary and Martha when Lazarus died. Though fully aware of the outcome, Jesus entered their mourning, weeping along with them. His empathy was about understanding their loss and sharing in their suffering and grief. Similarly, we are part of a community that understands loss all too well. Parents mourn children lost to disease and violence, siblings grieve the loss of siblings to addiction or accidents, and young children mourn lost parents. It's a fellowship we haven't chosen, but in it we find support, solace, and strength. My sons and I meet with a grief counselor every other week, sharing our pain and memories about their mother. Our counselor, who has also experienced tragic loss, stands with us in our grief. Together we find strength in this shared experience, navigating sorrow with a sense of communal support and understanding. Father, thank you for the bonds formed through shared suffering and trauma. May we reflect the comfort and grace of Jesus, who shares in our suffering and grief and brings healing. Amen.
NEVER GIVE UP!! NEVER SURRENDER!! Galaxy Quest Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Start your online business with a $1 per-month trial when you visit https://www.shopify.com/rejects! Galaxy Quest (1999) Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau boldly go where no fanboys (...or mayhaps a few.. fanboys) have gone before in their Reaction & Review of the 1999 cult classic sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest! Directed by Dean Parisot (Red 2, Fun with Dick and Jane) and widely regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi parodies ever made, Galaxy Quest is both a hilarious spoof of Star Trek fandom and a heartfelt adventure that stands proudly on its own. The story follows the washed-up cast of a once-popular sci-fi TV show, who find themselves mistaken for real space heroes by an alien race in desperate need of help. Tim Allen (Home Improvement, The Santa Clause) leads the charge as Jason Nesmith / Cmdr. Peter Quincy Taggart, with Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Ghostbusters) as Gwen DeMarco / Lt. Tawny Madison, Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Harry Potter) as the disgruntled Alexander Dane / Dr. Lazarus, and Tony Shalhoub (Monk, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as the delightfully odd Fred Kwan / Tech Sgt. Chen. Rounding out the crew are Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards, Moon) as Guy Fleegman, Daryl Mitchell (NCIS: New Orleans) as Tommy Webber / Laredo, and Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars, Just Shoot Me!) as Mathesar, the sweet alien leader of the Thermians. The film also features a breakout performance by Justin Long (Dodgeball, Live Free or Die Hard) as an obsessive fan who ultimately saves the day, and a terrifying villain in Robin Sachs (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as General Sarris. Famous moments include the "chomper hallway" sequence, Alan Rickman's iconic "By Grabthar's Hammer" speech, the Omega 13 mystery payoff, and the triumphant fan convention finale. Whether you're a sci-fi geek or just love a good underdog story, this one's got laughs, heart, and surprising emotional depth.

Send us a textThe true nature of salvation hinges on understanding one profound reality: the law kills. This revelation forms the cornerstone of authentic Christian theology, yet remains widely misunderstood or rejected.Drawing from Paul's powerful language in 2 Corinthians 3, we explore how he deliberately characterizes the law as "the ministration of death." Despite its divine origin and temporary glory, the law's purpose was never to save but to condemn—to show humanity our utter inability to meet God's perfect standard. This understanding transforms our entire approach to salvation.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we consider our spiritual condition apart from Christ. Though physically alive—walking, talking, building careers, raising families—we exist in a state of spiritual death. This mirrors Christ's deliberate delay in raising Lazarus until the fourth day, when decomposition had clearly begun. Both demonstrate the same truth: our salvation requires divine intervention because dead people cannot resurrect themselves.This realization demolishes any notion of salvation through human choice or free will. Like Lazarus in the tomb, we require God's sovereign work to bring us from death to life. The glory of the new covenant—the "ministration of the Spirit"—exceeds the old precisely because it accomplishes what the law never could, working internally rather than externally.The conversation weaves through powerful metaphors: the garden's cursed ground contrasted with Christ as the only "good ground," the shift from external worship under law to internal worship "in spirit and truth," and the movement from physical circumcision to the circumcision of the heart. Each illustrates the same magnificent truth—that salvation comes entirely through God's grace.Have you considered that you might be merely existing rather than truly living? Join us as we explore the profound difference between these two states and discover the abundant life Christ offers to those who understand their need.Support the show

Study 20 - Luke 16:1-31 The Problem of Riches This chapter, which is difficult all the way through, gives us one of the most puzzling of all the parables, as, if it is misread, Jesus appears to commend dishonesty. The story is about a landlord’s estate-manager or steward who was sacked for inefficiency in an unusual way: there is no lengthy argument or plea for reinstatement as you would have expected in that culture; the steward ceases immediately to be the approved agent but the rent books are not taken from him. Please read Luke 16:1-8 The estate-manager was able to reduce the rents and get the tenants to note the changes (v 6b, 7b), probably with the promise to share the reductions with him quietly afterwards. Because of the tenants writing on the documents the landlord cannot reinstate the changes without losing face and honour. Clever! Right mouse click or tap here to save/download this as a MP3 audio file Of course the chapter division was not in the original documents so this story follows closely behind the one of the Prodigal Son (or whatever you decided to call it) and this story supports that one in some ways. Question 1: What are the parallels between this parable and that one? 2 noble fathers or masters; 2 ignoble dependents; 2 moments of truth regarding losses; 2 pleas for mercy; 2 problems of broken trust and its consequences. Question 2: What knowledge of the nature of the landowner did the estate-manager display by what he did? Think particularly of why the landlord dismissed him; why he didn’t imprison him; why did the landowner agreed to pay the price for the deception? What does this parable teach us about the nature of God? In that sort of culture there would very likely be a relationship several generations long between the families of master and steward. Honour has to be maintained on both sides so grace is necessary. Our God is a God of relationships not accounting practices. Our God is a forgiving God who, because of the sacrifice of Jesus is prepared to forgive the many things we have done which we should not have done, just as the master forgave the manager things he should not have done. We were careful to end the story at verse 8. Most Bibles paragraph this chapter in a way that suggests the next few verses are also part of that story. But that is unlikely because it would make verse 9 suggest we should be as dishonest as the manager and v11 and 12 sit very uncomfortably with the parable when they do make good sense in isolation. The next parable clearly starts at v19. In between is a collection of sayings, probably from some other occasions, linked by key words and ideas. Please read Luke 16: 9 – 18. Question 3: What does v9 mean if it is to be read separately, not relating it to the story before it. It teaches us that worldly wealth is not to be used solely for our own benefit. We are to use it for other people as well. It also reminds us that the day will come when our worldly wealth will be gone and we shall have to give account of ourselves before judge Jesus. One commentary labels most of these verses ‘Condemnations of the Corrupt at Heart’, which fits well. Verse 18 is the most terse and hard of all the NT statements about divorce and should not be read in isolation from the others in Matthew 5: 31, 32; 1 Corinthians 7: 10, 11. Question 4: What are the barriers against which people are forcing their way into the Kingdom in your world (v 16)? Obviously you have to answer this one yourself. Please read Luke 16:19-31 The difficulties continue! Lazarus is the only person in all the parables who is named (although one papyrus calls the rich man Neues). Purple clothing was strictly reserved for the elite of Roman society. Abraham’s side (literally bosom, that is Lazarus was reclining at the table beside Abraham) was thought to be the best place to be after death. The whole story, like the rest of the parables, is probably not meant to be understood as a real life episode. We should not draw any conclusions about the geography of heaven and hell from it. Question 5: What does the attitude of the dogs, (savage, guard?) dogs to Lazarus tell us about him? The dogs were expressing what the rich man should have done. Lazarus is clearly depicted as a nice guy, a likeable fellow. Question 6: What does the rich man’s attitude in the after life to Lazarus tell us about him? He thought of himself as a big man so Lazarus ought to act as his slave. He failed to realise that we are all equal in death, and indeed ought to consider others equal to ourselves in this life. Again the parable lacks an ending. The last statement has an element of wry humour about it. Jesus clearly realises that his death will not be the last event of his life.

Lazarus has died, and his family went through the entire process of burying him. In the midst of their grief, Jesus tells the disciples that He is glad that He wasn't there to stop Lazarus from getting sick and dying. NOW was the time for Jesus to strengthen their faith! When facing a Lazarus situation, the enemy will try to cloud your mind with emotions and thoughts that God could have stopped it. But what if we peel back those emotions and thoughts, and receive Jesus's red letters for the truth that they are? What if God needs our faith strengthened for what is to come? If Jesus hadn't resurrected Lazarus, would the disciples and Mary and Martha believed that Jesus would resurrect after His crucifixion? Monologue: Autumn shares advice she was asked for by a young man about raising children. Message: Autumn visits the red letters of Jesus when Lazarus died in John 11. Testimony: A listener shares how God clearly orchestrated their last baby for them.

Sketch and Kuro sit down with Jason DeMarco to discuss producing anime for Warner Bros. Discovery: namely Lazarus with the legendary Shinichiro Watanabe, Sunghoo Park sneaking Jason into Ninja Kamui and notably bringing an animated Lord of the Rings film to theaters alongside Kenji Kamiyama and Peter Jackson.
When Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave, there were actually two "resurrections" taking place, as John describes it in his gospel. One Resurrection had a "big R" and the other had a "small r." Which one was which? Jesus also asked a question during this miracle that is one we all must answer for ourselves. And we hear Martha's mature understanding of who Jesus is now, even though she thinks He has disappointed her. A large crowd had gathered at Lazarus' tomb, which was important to Jesus' ultimate purpose.
Revelations on the power of Jesus's Ressurection and how to use it every single day!faithbucks.com DO WHAT YOU CAN & GOD WILL DO WHAT YOU CAN'T! Now that is the way it's always been. Like when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, the PEOPLE couldn't raise him from the dead, but they COULD roll the STONE away from the door. So what did Jesus do? Did He roll away the stone?--No, He said, "Roll YE away the stone," & they DID it. That was something THEY could do, so why not let them? Their obedience in rolling away the stone also was a manifestation of their faith that God was going to do what they couldn't do. Do you get it? Your obedience in doing what God tells you to do shows your faith that God is going to do the REST, what you CAN'T do. c38. LET'S NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, BUT LET'S DO WHAT WE CAN DO TODAY, right now! Because look what God's going to do tomorrow! Wow! God's going to do mighty miracles tomorrow! He's going to do greater things than we ever imagined! Let's do what WE can do today, so GOD will be able to do what HE can do TOMORROW!39. WE CAN DO THE "WENTING." As my Mother used to quote, "As they WENT they were healed." God told them, "Go thou & do this! Go thou & do that! Go wash at the Pool of Siloam. Go home & tell your loved ones." And "As they WENT, God HEALED," or "as they WENT, God gave them the POWER." We have to do the "wenting."-- Luke 17:14 .40. WE'VE GOT TO DO THE OBEYING. We've got to do what we know God has told us to do! We have to first of all do the forsaking, the dropping out, the dedicating to God, the utter dedication, the complete 100% COMMITMENT to God. We don't have to know what's going to happen tomorrow or what He's going to do in the future or what's going to happen as a result.41. WE DON'T HAVE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW! All we have to know is what God is going to do today. Obey God & do what He has told us now.--Right now! Do it NOW, you've got to do it now! You can't wait for tomorrow! TODAY is the day of salvation. You cannot do it tomorrow!42. GOD HAS HIS TIMES! LET ME TELL YOU, FOLKS, YOU'D BETTER OBEY GOD IN THAT SPLIT SECOND OF THAT GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY! If you miss God's timetable, you're going to not only miss the TRAIN but you'll also miss the BOAT, & you'll get left behind & things will never be the same again! When God says, "Now! Right now!" let me tell you, you had better do it now, or you are going to miss the boat & suffer for it! God help us to obey instantly when God lays something on our hearts.-Do it now! Right now!
This Sunday, we will explore what the book of Proverbs teaches us about our emotions. Emotions are a gift from God, but without wisdom, they can lead us astray. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to guard the heart because everything we do flows from it. Throughout Scripture, we see how emotions like anger, envy, and anxiety can destroy, while self-control, patience, and joy bring life and peace. Our goal is not to suppress emotions but to guide them through the wisdom of God's Word so that they serve His purposes rather than control us. The life of Jesus provides the perfect example—his emotions were always righteous, whether it was compassion for the lost, grief over sin, or righteous anger at hypocrisy. Jesus and the apostle Paul show us how to properly steward our emotions. Jesus wept over Jerusalem and the death of Lazarus, showing his deep sorrow, yet he also expressed righteous anger at the Pharisees' hardness of heart and the corruption in the temple. Paul, too, displayed intense concern for the spiritual well-being of others, as seen in 2 Corinthians 11:29. However, both did not allow their emotions to lead them into sin; instead, they were guided by truth and love. Today, we face similar challenges—our emotions can either drive us closer to God or lead us astray. For example, Proverbs warns us that anger can be destructive if unchecked, jealousy is more dangerous than wrath, and the fear of man leads to folly. Instead of following the world's advice to "follow your heart," we are called to align our emotions with God's wisdom. So how do we cultivate Godly emotions? It begins with the fear of the Lord, which is the foundation of wisdom. When we fear God more than we fear the opinions of others, we are freed from the emotional turmoil of seeking human approval. We learn to control our anger, replacing it with patience and discernment. We overcome jealousy by finding our worth in Christ rather than comparison. We move from anxiety to peace by trusting in God's sovereignty. Above all, we look to Jesus, who endured the cross for the joy set before him (Hebrews 12:2), showing us that true joy is found in living for God's purposes. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to search our hearts and transform our emotions so that we reflect Christ in every aspect of our lives.

What if resurrection isn't just about what happens after you die—but how you live right now?In this powerful message from John 11, Pastor David walks us through the story of Lazarus and the bold claim Jesus makes: “I am the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25)Whether you're dealing with grief, struggling to let go of the past, or searching for purpose, this sermon reveals how Jesus offers more than a future hope—He brings resurrection power into your life today.

Pastor Shelby Crump brings a message on what it means to be a child of God and how the events in our lives—both the hard and the miraculous—are meant to bring glory to our Heavenly Father.

The same is true for us—our lives are meant to bring honor and glory to the Father. God is glorified: When you are sick, He can get the glory. When you are dead, He can get the glory. When you are resurrected, He can get the glory. And when you live again, He can get the glory.

Thinking eternally- Many of the Pharisees were consumed with following every part of the law because of the fear of man. They were not thinking about the eternal consequences of their actions. Jesus challenged that thinking by telling the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.
He Took the Stone Away: Resurrection Life Is Yours in Christ In this powerful Spiritual Emphasis message, we are reminded that the same Jesus who rose from the grave is still rolling stones away today—stones of addiction, shame, spiritual death, and broken identity. But more than just moved aside, the stone was taken away. Gone. Removed forever.
Grief can feel like being trapped in a dark cave—isolated, disoriented, and overwhelmed. But just as Jesus called Lazarus out of his tomb, He calls you to step out of your own cave of sorrow and into the light of hope. This episode explores how Jesus understands your pain, walks with you through it, and gently leads you toward healing and new life.
Is something in your life feeling dead or hopeless? Jesus brings resurrection power—right on time. Video available at: https://youtu.be/gbMljUjgJcc Message by Sarah Slaven.
