Deepcreek Anglican Church

In this sermon we explore Jobs story of faith in the midst of deep pain with empathy and honesty. This message speaks to anyone who has felt their faith falter amid suffering and unanswered questions. It reminds us that even when our faith weeps, God hears our cries and never leaves our side. Listen in for comfort, hope, and the assurance that you are not alone in your suffering. To catch up on the latest sermons from Deep Creek, go to iTunes, Spotify ordeepcreekanglican.comand check out the website for more info about whats happening. We are a welcoming and growing multigenerational church in Doncaster East in Melbourne with refreshing faith in Jesus Christ. We think that looks like being life-giving to the believer, surprising to the world, and strengthening to the weary and doubting. Read the transcript It's from Job chapter 3, verses 110 and 2026 (page 786 in the red pew Bibles). If you're following along, Job speaks: After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. He said, "May the day of my birth perish, and the night that said a boy is conceived. That daymay it turn to darkness; may God above not care about it; may no light shine upon it. May gloom and utter darkness claim it once more; may a cloud settle over it; may blackness overwhelm it. That nightmay thick darkness seize it; may it not be included among the days of the year, nor be entered in any of the months. May that night be barren; may no shout of joy be heard in it. May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan. May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn, for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me to hide trouble from my eyes. Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul, to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure, who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave? Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in? For sighing has become my daily food; my groans pour out like water. What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me. I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil." Good morning, my name is Leili if we haven't met before. And what a privilege it is to be together on this Pentecost day listening to God's Word. There is a side of faith we don't often talk about It's the kind that doesn't always feel strong or cheerful. It's when we still believe, but we're tired, confused, or hurting. Many of us have been in that place, and maybe some of us are there right now. In 1856, Charles Spurgeon, one of the greatest preachers in church history, collapsed into depression after a tragedy struck during one of his sermons. A prankster shouted "Fire!" in a packed venue and the resulting panic killed several people. Though he was not physically harmed, Spurgeon was never the same emotionally. Years later he wrote, "I have been brought very low. My spirits have been depressed so long that I could weep by the hour like a child." He also said, "I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages." That wave is grief. It is fear. It is despair. But even when faith is bruised, it can still cling. This sermon is for those of us who know what it's like to feel that wave crash over our heads and still believe. And while we weep, it's about what happens when we fall on our kneesnot in worship, but in despair. And yet God is still there. Job was blameless and upright The first two chapters of Job tell us that Job was blameless and upright. He feared God and turned away from evil. He had a large family, great wealth, and respect in the community. Then suddenly the bottom falls outone by one, his livestock are destroyed, his servants killed, and his children found dead. Then he's afflicted with painful sores from head to toe. Job ends up sitting in ashes, scraping himself with broken pottery. For seven days, he and his friends sit in silence. Then in chapter 3, Job finally speaks. What comes out is not a prayer, but a cry of anguish: "May the day of my birth perish." It's important to understand that Job doesnt curse God; he curses his own existence. He wishes he had never been born. Let's pause here. Job's words are dark. They are disturbing, but they are honest. And that honesty is faith. Because real faith does not always look like singing praise songs with a smile. Sometimes it sounds like groaning. It sounds like someone saying, "God, where are you?" Sometimes there is a space for anger, even when it's messy or not fully justified. Have we been there? Not doubting God's existence, but feeling lost in His silence. Job asks, "Why did I not perish at birth? Why is light given to those in misery? What I feared has come upon me." Job doesn't pretend to be strong. He doesn't clean up his grief. In our churches and even among pastors and mature Christians, there's often an expectation to stay positive, to give spiritual answers quickly, or to hide our pain. You may have heard things like, "Where is your faith? Aren't you a Christian? You shouldn't feel like this." Or, "As a pastor, aren't you supposed to have peace?" I've heard things like that myself. People have said to me, "Why are you feeling this way? Don't you trust God more than others? You're a leaderyou help people. How can you be in this place?" Well, Job reminds us that even the faithful can feel broken. Longevity as a Christian, and even leadership, does not make us immune to pain. Sometimes it deepens it. Lament is not a lack of faith Job reminds us that lament is not a lack of faith. It is true faithdeep, honest faith experiencing itself in the midst of pain. It's the kind of faith that stays near enough to God to cry out in confusion. Biblical lament is not complaining without direction; it is pain expressed in the presence of God. Over a third of the Psalms are laments. Lament says, "God, I still believe You're there, so I'm bringing You my sorrow." The question "why" is deeply human. Sometimes it comes from curiosity, like when a child wants to understand the world. Other times it grows out of doubt or protest. In Job's case, it arises from the pain of a world that no longer makes sensewhere suffering doesn't match what we thought we knew of God. And sometimes those "why" questions go unanswered. Not every question gets a resolution. Faith doesn't always mean certainty. It often means learning to live with mystery, trusting God in the silence between questions and answers. I remember a few years ago I was in a season of deep uncertainty. In 2016, while we were in Turkey waiting to be sent to another country, Pedram and I were finally supposed to go to the United States after three long years. But just after receiving the good news and waiting for the next step, the door to the US was suddenly shut to Iranians. Once again, I found myself stuck in a place of waiting and uncertainty. I didn't know what the future held and felt unsettled and exposed at different moments. I found myself asking God why. Why am I in this situation? Why did You allow this? Why don't I feel safe? Why am I not where I thought I would be? These weren't questions born out of unbelief. They came from a place of wrestling and pain. Like Job, I wasn't trying to rebel against God; I was trying to find Him in the midst of confusion. I was searching for understanding in a season that felt completely out of control. But something sacred happened through those questions. The Spirit did not immediately answer them, but He led me to pause, to be still, to sit in silence. And then He gently led me into prayer, not always with words, but with a quiet trust forming deep inside me. It was in that silence that I began to sense God's nearnessnot in explanations, but in presence. The Spirit met me in the questions and gave me the courage to stay close to God, even without answers. Job didn't run from God. He stayed near enough to cry out. His questions didn't disqualify his faith; they were his faith. And like Job, I'm learning that the Spirit often leads us through the questions, not around them. We are not alone in our weakness and our confusion. The Spirit meets us there not with quick fixes but with communionsitting in the dust with us and turning our pain into prayer. Throughout Scripture, we see faithful people who wrestled with despair: Jeremiah cursed the day of his birth. Elijah, exhausted and afraid, cried out, "I've had enough. Lord, take my life." Even Moses and Jonah asked God to let them die. These weren't moments of rebellion; they were moments of deep honesty in the presence of God. And just like with Job, God didn't reject them. He met them in their pain. It's worth noting that Job's theology here is not perfect. He sees death as a relief and escape. But this is not the complete truth we now know through Christ. Death is not rest for all; it is a doorway to either eternal life or judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Still, God does not rebuke Job here. Why? Because Job isn't writing a theological essay. He's breaking under the weight of grief, and God receives that grief. Martin Luther once wrote during a time of intense spiritual darkness, "I spent more than a week in death and hell. I was utterly abandoned by Christ." Even spiritual giants have walked through the valley of shadows. And as Paul says in 2 Corinthians, "When I am weak, then I am strong." True faith wrestles; it doesn't walk away Job loses his wealth, his children, his health, his wife's support, his friends' compassion. He is emotionally, physically, relationally, and spiritually crushed. Job stands in every sense naked before God, and still he does not curse God. This is vital. His words are raw; his grief is real. But he speaks it out not in rebellion, but in relationship. He hasn't walked away from God; he just doesn't understand Him. That's a key difference. Job asks, "Why is life given to the bitter of soul? Why is life given to a man whom God has hedged in?" These aren't rhetorical questions; they are personal. He wants answers. And we've been there too. Even Jesus cried, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" God is not offended by our honest questions. In fact, they may be the most honest worship we offer. Jesus chose suffering And Job doesn't stay stuck. His questions point forward to One greater than Job. Unlike Job, Jesus chose suffering. He stepped into pain for our sake. He too was innocent. He too was misunderstood, betrayed, and abandoned. In Gethsemane, He said, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death." But Jesus didn't run from the cross. He said, "Not My will, but Yours." On the cross, Jesus bore not just sin, but sorrow. And because He rose again, our sorrow and suffering are no longer pointless; they are being transformed. This means that in our suffering, we are not abandoned. Jesus has gone before us. He is the Man of Sorrows who understands firsthand. We don't need to fake joy when our hearts are broken. God values authenticity. He gave us the Psalms of lament for a reason. Lord, You see my pain, but I feel alone. My tears are my food day and night. I want to trust You, but my heart is broken. Speak, Lord, even through the silence. Restore to me the hope I've lost. Lament is a form of worship. It keeps the conversation going when we feel like giving up. If Job, Jeremiah, Elijah, Moses, and even Jesus poured out their sorrow before God, then surely we are invited to do the same. Job's friends eventually failed him (and we'll hear more about that next week). But their silence in the beginning was beautiful. Sometimes just sitting with someone is enough. Carry each other's burdens We are called to carry each other's burdens (Galatians 6). Let's be that kind of churcha place where people can bring their sorrow without fear or judgment, where grief is not silenced but embraced with compassion. Sometimes healing begins when suffering is shared, and often sharing starts with a simple act of love. Get to know one another. Ask deep questions. Take time for a coffee. Listen without rushing to fix. Pray with and for one another. Remind each other of God's love, especially when it's hard to feel. Sometimes it's just a text message that says, "I see you. I'm here. You are not alone." This is how we carry each other's burdens: not by having all the answers, but by showing up with presence, kindness, and grace. When we stand with one another, we reflect the heart of Christ. Suffering will not have the final word The cross shows us that God doesn't avoid suffering; He enters it. And the resurrection promises that suffering will not have the final word. Job saw shadows. We see the light, and we know one day all tears will be wiped away. Friends, faith does weep. But it also waits.It clings. It groans and it grows even in silence. If all we can say today is "Why, God?" then let that be our offering. Let our tears be our prayers. God may not always give us full answers in this life, but He gives us something greater. He gives us Himself. Last Monday at our Encounter Night, we reflected on Psalm23. Verse 4 reminds us: Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. (Psalm 23:4) That's the assurance we hold onto: even in despair, we are not alone. And as Job's story unfolds, he doesn't get all the answers he wants, but he meets God. So maybe in our silence, in our tears, in our questions, and in our darkest valley, we may just find a Redeemer who still lives and who walks with us. We are not groaning alone Here is the wonder of Pentecost: the Spirit has been poured out not to erase our pain, but to accompany us in it. In that place where words run outwhere all we have are sighs or silenceRomans8 reminds us: In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God. (Romans 8:2627) Romans 8 doesn't say, "Stop groaning." It says, "You groan." Creation groans. And the Spirit groans too. He doesn't just help us pray; He becomes our prayer. Our groans are met with His groans. Our vulnerability is not a barrier to God. It's where the Spirit goes to work most intimately. We are caught up in a divine solidaritya holy, Trinitarian response to suffering. The Spirit doesn't stand at a distance. He comes close. He joins us. He prays within us even when we have no words. God is not just above us or beside us, but within us. And even in our weeping, He is working. Before we close, I want to give us a moment to breathe. To let our soul be still. To let the Holy Spirit gently surface what's buried beneath the surface. What laments do I carry today that feel too deep for words? Can I sit in silence and trust that the Spirit is praying within me? How does knowing the Spirit groans with me change how I see my suffering? Faith doesn't silence our sorrow; it brings it to God. And in the groaning, the Spirit groans with us. Let us pray. God of all comfort. You see our tears. You hear our cries. Even when we don't have the words, You understand. Meet us in our suffering. Thank You for the Spirit who prays within us when words fail and hope feels distant. Teach us to trust You in the silence. Help us to draw near, not because we have the answers, but because You are near to the brokenhearted. Remind us today that we are never alone, even in our deepest sorrow. You are with us. Amen.

How Can I Live Out My Faith Today?

What does it mean to live out your faith in a postmodern world? In this sermon from Romans 10, we explore how the gospel is not just a messagebut the message. Discover why confessing Jesus is Lord changes everything, and how your everyday words and actions can carry the good news to others. To catch up on the latest sermons from Deep Creek, go to iTunes, Spotify ordeepcreekanglican.comand check out the website for more info about whats happening. We are a welcoming and growing multigenerational church in Doncaster East in Melbourne with refreshing faith in Jesus Christ. We think that looks like being life-giving to the believer, surprising to the world, and strengthening to the weary and doubting. Transcription Scripture Reading: Romans 10:515 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law. The person who does these things will live by them. But the righteousness that is by faith says, do not say in your heart who will ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down), or who will descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? The word is near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart. That is the message concerning faith that we proclaim. 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. As Scripture says, anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile. The same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How then can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written, how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news. (Romans 10:515, NIV) Thanks, Ange. And good morning and welcome to Deep Creek. My name is Pedram. Please let me know if you would like to be a part of the things on the screen or if you're not, then, well, we find a way to well, we are exploring Finding Faith. And as Leili said, next week is the last session of this Finding Faith series as we explore the faith that we have in this worldnot just at the church, but outside the churchhow we live out our faith as Christians and believers and followers of Jesus Christ. So today, we will explore what it means to live out our faith in the 21st century in a postmodern world, how faith begins, and why sharing the gospel matters to us. I will change. Yeah. All right, so let's pray together. Gracious God, as we open Your Word today, we ask for open hearts and attentive ears. Speak to us through the Scriptures and by Your Spirit. Help us to hear the message of faith, to receive it with trust, and to respond with obedience. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. The Power of Words and the Gospel How the words we hear shape what we do in our daily life. We all have moments when words shape our decisions. In our postmodern world, videos and voices and comments from people in social media and politics, ads and friends, influencers everywherethey influence people (and us) more than we realize. So you scroll through Instagram or Facebook and see an influencer talking about a new smart vacuum, and you weren't planning to buy any. Suddenly you find that the vacuum machine is in your cart. Or during the federal election last year, constant messaging from the candidates begins to shape our thinking and decision through repeated promises of hope and change for the future. Even when shopping, it is often the reviews that we readnot just the product description, but the opinions of othersthat guide our choices. Words shape what we do. Why does this happen? Well, because words carry power. They shape our perception of reality, often without us even realizing it. We believe the words we hear, and belief leads to action and decision. That's exactly the dynamic that Paul is talking about here in Romans chapter 10. He says, How are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? So the gospel is not just another message among all those messages that we hear from the world. It is the message. It is the message that calls for belief and transformation. And just as we act on the words we trust in everyday life, we act eternally on the words of Christ when we hear them and believe. So what's the difference? The words of an advertiser, influencer, or politician all offer temporary benefits, but the words of Christ offer eternal life to each of us who believes in Jesus. Righteousness by Law vs. Righteousness by Faith In verses 5 to 8, Paul shows us a contrast between law and faith, showing that faith has always been central to a right relationship with God. The laws righteousness is based on doing, but none of us can do it perfectly, right? So the law isn't the problemwe should know that the law is pure and speaks of the holiness of God, and it's not the problem. We are the problem, right? The law reveals God's standard, but it doesn't have the power to fix us. It doesn't matter what age we live in, whether 3,000 years ago or now in the 21st century, the root issue remains the same: our sinful nature. Like an X-ray that shows a broken bone but can't fix it, the law exposes our sin, but can't heal or cleanse it. It tells the truth, but it doesn't change us. Paul points to a better waya righteousness by faith. We don't need to reach up to heaven or down into the grave to find God, because Christ has already come and risen from the dead. The work is done not by humans, but by God Himself. And the good news: The word is near you. You don't need to climb up a ladder to get to God or to somehow become righteous in His eyes. But the gospel is right herein your mouth and in your heartready to be received and to be proclaimed. Belief and Confession So then, in verses 9 to 10, Paul tells us exactly what this message contains. These two verses are among the clearest summaries of the gospel in all of Scriptureif you need a short summary of what the gospel is, here it is. Faith involves both believing and confession. If you look closely, youll notice something fascinating: verse 9 says, 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. It begins with the mouth and then mentions the heart. But in verse 10 the order is reversed: 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. Why this change? Is it just a stylistic quirk from Paul? I dont think so. I believe it's very intentional, because God wants us to see that true confession is never just about saying the words. It's not about empty repetition or external performance; it's a confession that comes from a deep well of belief in our hearts. The mouth simply gives voice to what the heart holds dear. Jesus Himself said in Luke chapter 6, Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. In other words, if you truly believe deeply and inwardly that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead, your mouth will declare it. And that declaration will not be superficial or performativeit will be genuine, it will be worship, it will be a true testimony of a life lived with Jesus. Last Saturday we had a great baptism service at the cathedral, and an Iranian grandmother of four stood publicly to declare her faith in Christ in the liturgy. From the prayer book, there is a part where the priest asks the candidates to make a personal response. He asks her, Do you turn to Christ? And her response was simply, I turn to Christ. I do. It was a short responsejust two wordsbut they were full of meaning. They were the outflow of a heart that had been awakened by grace, transformed by truth, and brought into living faith. It was the visible moment of a mouth declaring what the heart already believed. Jesus Is Lord: A Radical Declaration Well, faith is not only internal trust, nor is it just external words. It is the union of both. To confess Jesus is Lord is to acknowledge His divine authorityHis rightful rule over our lives. Back in the olden days in the Roman Empire, where Caesar was hailed as Lord, to say Jesus is Lord was a bold and radical declaration. Similarly, in our 21st century, declaring Jesus as Lord is still a bold and radical declaration, especially in societies where personal eternity autonomy, success, or political ideologies are treated as ultimate authorities. In a culture where personal autonomy is prized, submitting to the lordship of Christ challenges our self-centeredness and calls us to a life of obedience and trust. To confess Christ as Lord is to say that no one else has the final word over our lives. Only Jesus does. Faith is not private. It's personal, yes, but not hidden. We are all called not only to trust Jesus inwardly, but to declare Him outwardly as well. No One Is Beyond God's Grace Verses 11 to 13 tell us that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Everyonefrom every nation, every language, every social classeveryone. There is no second-class citizen in the Kingdom of God. No one is beyond the reach of the grace of God. Our performance, our past sins, our present failures or whatever may come in the futurenone of these things can exclude us from the offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. All thats required is this: call on the name of the Lord. That's it. Believe in His name. Depend on His mercy. Confess His lordship in your life. But someone might ask: Do I really need faith in God in the 21st century, in this postmodern world? Well, the simple and short answer is yesperhaps now more than ever. We all witnessed during the pandemic how modern advancementsthe technology and knowledge that humans havecannot fill the deepest gaps. And the problem is our sinful nature, and the gap between us and our Creator God. So faith in God speaks directly into those gaps and empty places. It tells the business person that their worth is not based on performance, but on being a beloved child of God. It tells the anxious parents that they are not alone, that there is a faithful Father who sees and cares. It tells the exhausted Nikki nurse on a night shift that she's not carrying the weight by herself. She's not alone. Jesus is present beside every hospital bed, even with her sleeping colleagues. Faith in God in the 21st century is not about rejecting science or hiding from hard questions and complexity in this world. It is about knowing where your true foundation lies. Its about trusting that when everything else feels uncertain, God is still steady. Its about opening our life to the One who brings peace in chaos, hope in sorrow, and purpose in the middle of confusion. It means following Jesus not just in belief, but in everyday actionat work, at home, and in our relationships. It means letting the gospel shape our decisions, our relationships, and how we respond to the challenges of this modern world. The Beautiful Chain of the Gospel Then we see in verses 14 to 15, Paul brings a series of rhetorical questions: to call on Christ, you must believe; to believe, you must hear; to hear, someone must preach; to preach, someone must be sent. Its a beautiful chaina divine sequence that shows how God brings people to faith through the proclamation of the good news (the gospel). This is why the Word of God matters to us in our churches, homes, and neighborhoods. People can't believe in a message they've never heard, can they? And they won't hear unless someone tells them. This is why sharing our faith isn't optional. It's essential. A few years ago, one of my friends was preparing to travel to Iran, and his desire was to carry Bibles with him to share God's Word with friends and family in Iran. But as you know, this is incredibly risky. We searched for a safe way to do it, but every option seemed too dangerous or impossible. Then one of the team members said, Instead of carrying Bibles into the country, why don't you become a living Bible yourself to carry the good news of Jesus? So we paused and prayed for that brotherthat God would protect him, empower him, and bear fruit through him. And God did exactly what we prayed. When he returned, he shared that during that trip he was able to share the gospel with 25 individuals, talking about Jesus and testifying how Jesus had shaped his life. We are the ones who are sent. We are the ones called to speak. And Paul concludes with this: As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news. Well, feet might not be the most glamorous part of our body, but in God's plan, the ones that carry the gospel are beautiful because they bring life and real hope. (The Bible says the gospel brings a living hopeits not a superficial hope.) They bring peace, and they bring change to people's lives. The Word of God will change peoples lives. Living and Sharing the Word So what does this mean for us at Deep Creek, as followers of Jesus? This passage reminds us that the gospel is not just for unbelievers. Yes, it must be preached to those who havent heard, but it remains near to us who believeactive and living in our lives as well. The word that brought us to life is also the word that sustains us and transforms us every day. Faith is not just a private conviction or a one-time decision. It's a daily rhythm of hearing, trusting, confessing, and proclaiming. If the word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart, then our entire life becomes a space where the gospel lives and people can witness that. So let me offer three simple but challenging invitations based on these truths: Faith comes by hearing. That doesn't mean just listening to a sermon on Sunday or going to church once a week. It means creating space daily in our life to hear the Word of Christ. This could be setting aside ten minutes each morning to read Scripture slowly and reflectively. It could mean listening to a podcast that shapes your spiritual life while you're traveling or driving. Or it could be memorizing a passage of Scripture that you carry with you during the week. If we are not hearing the Word, our hearts will start to listen to other messagesthe messages spread everywhere, the ones that form us without us even noticing. It's a good moment to ask ourselves: What am I filling my ears and heart with? Speak the gospel where you are. When we say Jesus is Lord, we are making a claim that confronts every other claim to authoritywhether it's success, family expectations, national identity, or personal autonomy. To confess Christ as Lord is to resist the subtle pull of idols, not just the obvious ones, but even respectable ones like careerism, security, self-actualization, or even ministry success. The challenge for Christians today is not just to preach the gospel from the pulpit, but to speak it in kitchens and on commutes, in cafes, at work, or at the gymflowing from lives shaped by the gospel and submitted to the lordship of Christ. There is a challenge here for many of us: You don't need to be a theologian to share the gospel. Its good to have a solid knowledge of the Word of God, but you just need to be honest and available. Some Christians hesitate to speak because they feel unqualified. I don't have a Master of Divinity or a theology degree, so I don't know how to answer the hard questions. But the people around you don't need perfect answers. They need your real storyyour story of what Jesus has done for you. And you know what? Everyone has a story. Like our services start with every week, everyone has a story, and each story is unique in how God has shaped us through our journey. People love to hear these stories. So when it comes time for a discussion or even a normal conversation, you can talk about your hope, your struggles, your transformation. It gives others permission to wonder, to ask, and to speak. This is a great opportunity for the Holy Spirit to open space for them to explore what Christianity means. Paul doesnt say, How can they hear unless someone perfect speaks or perfect preaches? He says, unless someone is sent. In other words, the qualification is not perfectionit's willingness. God does not choose people because of their ability, but because of their availability. (Are we available for God and ready to share the story we have?) We are all sentnot as experts or theologians, but as witnesses. You may not have all the answers, but you do have a story. As I often say, you are a living testimony to the grace of God. Proclaiming the gospel is not about status or training or having perfect theology; it's just being you and talking about your faith. You can start with very small steps. Offer to pray for someone during the weekif someone shares something with you, say, Can I pray for you about that? Or mention Jesus in your conversations naturally. Share how Scripture encouraged you this week, or how a sermon or a podcast spoke to you. And never underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will open the way through all those conversations in our daily lifeat our workplaces, in our families and relationships. Let confession shape our whole life. When Paul says we are to confess Jesus is Lord, he doesn't mean doing it only once at conversion or when we get baptized. He means that our whole life is to be shaped by that confession. The more we confess Christ with our mouth, the more our hearts are aligned to His lordship. And the more our hearts are rooted in Him, the more naturally our mouth will proclaim His goodness. Our whole life is to be shaped by that confession. It will change how we handle money, how we forgive others, how we prioritize our time, how we treat others, how we speak to our children, and how we endure suffering. In practice, it could look like this: Choosing integrity at the workplace, even when it costs you. Serving at church or in your neighborhood without recognition. Staying faithful in a hard relationship. Speaking truth when it's unpopular. This kind of life is not loud, but it is powerful. And it begins with the daily decision to saynot just with your mouth, but with your whole lifethat Jesus is Lord. The word is near us not only when we first believed, but today, in the 21st centuryin this season, in your questions, in your complexities at work, in your family, in your relationships, in your fears. God has placed His Word in our hearts to anchor us. He has placed it on our lips so that others may know Him too. When we embody the Word we have believed, we become the beautiful feet that Paul speaks ofthe ones who carry good news wherever we go. And we carry the testimony and the story that we each have.

Comment, question, or idea for the podcast? Send us a Text Message! In this bonus episode of Northern Lights, we dive into the recent decision by the District Court to stay the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management's (OCM) Social Equity Preapproval Lottery. This ruling has sent ripples through Minnesota's cannabis community, sparking debates about fairness, preparedness, and the future of this nascent industry. Nearly 18 months have passed since Governor Walz signed the legalization bill into law, yet the cannabis industry remains in limbo. In this episode, we explore the multifaceted perspectives on this decision, what it means for the OCM, prospective cannabis businesses, and the broader community eagerly awaiting progress.We begin with Jen Randolph Reise of North Star Law Group, a firm behind one of the lawsuits heard in court this week. Jen explains what distinguishes her plaintiffs and why she believes Minnesotans deserve a fair process for rolling out the cannabis industry. She emphasizes that the lawsuit's focus is not on obstructing progress but on ensuring that social equity applicants aren't disadvantaged by what she describes as an inequitable process within the OCM.Next, we hear from Leili Fatehi of Blunt Strategies, a prominent cannabis consulting firm in Minnesota. Known for leading the successful MN is Ready campaign to legalize adult-use cannabis, Leili argues that this process, while frustrating to those who received denial letters, is a necessary step to uphold the integrity of the industry. She critiques the court's actions, highlighting the negative impact of delays on businesses poised to begin operations, and underscores her belief that the OCM's approach is necessary to filter out bad actors.Finally, Jeff Brinkman of Superior Cannabis Company shares his concerns about the OCM's handling of the preapproval lottery. Having followed the courtroom arguments closely, Jeff critiques what he perceives as the OCM's lack of understanding in creating a transparent and functional regulatory process. He reflects on the need for better communication and collaboration to avoid further missteps and to ensure the industry develops as intended.To round out the episode, we share the OCM's official statement, providing their perspective on the court's decision and their vision for moving forward. While opinions on these events may vary, we believe all stakeholders can unite behind the shared goal of building a fair, efficient, and inclusive cannabis industry in Minnesota.This moment may feel like a setback, but every challenge brings an opportunity to learn and improve. The vision for Minnesota's cannabis industry is one of inclusion, opportunity, and community benefit. It's a vision worth fighting for, and the voices we've heard today remind us why it matters. Let's hope the next steps, whatever they may be, bring us closer to that vision.Links from the Show:North Star Law Group - https://northstarlaw.com/cannabis/Blunt Strategies - https://bluntstrategies.com/Superior Cannabis Co. - https://www.superiorcannabiscompany.com/OCM Statement - https://mn.gov/ocm/media/news-releases/?id=655334Support the show

Leili Anvar lit le monde avec les yeux de la poésie, comme un souffle de vie intérieure. Elle habite le monde en poète. Pour l'écrivaine franco-iranienne et traductrice de mystiques persans, la poésie, c'est aussi un acte de liberté, une quête de vérité. Un acte de résistance. En Iran, les femmes font circuler des poèmes sur les réseaux sociaux. En Afghanistan, les femmes utilisent la langue pour exprimer leur désespoir, pour ne pas être oubliées. Pour Leili Anvar, l'art peut nous sauver des ténèbres. Il peut sauver l'âme du monde pour maintenir la flamme de notre humanité. Leili Anvar partage le monde de la poésie persane avec la journaliste Manuela Salvi.

Hayley tells Brandy the story of Nique Leili On a warm summer night in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, a woman named Dominique Leili, known as Nique to family and friends, disappeared. Her husband Matthew Leili claimed Nique intentionally left their home and their two young daughters behind. But when her nude body was found in the nearby woods, suspicion turned to her husband, though how she died is still unclear. Matt had installed 21 surveillance cameras around his family's home, and he used audio recorders to capture some of the fights he and his wife Leili had before she disappeared. It was later discovered that surveillance footage from the hours Nique Leili went missing was mysteriously deleted, according to police. Nique Leili's family is convinced her husband is responsible for her death. "[I have] no idea what she saw in him," her sister, Amy Robinson, told "20/20." A jury later found Matt Leili guilty of his wife's murder, and Nique Leili's family believes justice was served, but her death is still a mystery. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/easykillerpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/easykillerpodcast/support

We are going back to Georgia this week where we discuss the tragic case of Dominique "Nique" Leili. Despite almost 20 cameras in and around the home, including one that looked at you while you watched tv, Nique's murder was not caught on tape. It would take years, but through the dedication of law enforcement, they finally catch her killer.

Nowadays, Leili Tehrani Walker believes that their Persian background has only done good things for their relationship to art and food, though they didn't always believe this was the case. Growing up, it was complicated.From the start, it seemed for Leili that art, culture, identity and politics were related. Early memories of seeing a distinctive mural in Kings Cross about the AIDS crisis made a huge impression on them when they were young. Interestingly the mural had similarities to political graffiti in their ancestral home in Shiraz, Iran.Growing up in red-light district ‘The Cross' (Eora Sydney) with a mother who escaped from Iran during the Iran Iraq war, Leili found that they were living between two worlds. Like many children of the Iranian diaspora, they didn't feel like they fit in at their white anglo school but also didn't have a large Iranian community to connect with.Listen out for Leili incriminating a family member's ingenious knack for producing enormous Persian feasts in the blink of an eye. We find out their favourite artist is painter Iman Raad (who creates Iranian miniature style paintings that you can get deliciously lost in). Their favourite kitchen sound is completely original and their favourite smell is definitely not what we were expecting! For a kitchen disaster story that involves a dinner party and cat food, plus the best tip for taking the bite out of red onion you'll have to tune in.** This episode contains themes around mental health and depression.

Leili Anvar est d'origine iranienne. Née à Téhéran, elle est à la fois journaliste, poète, iranologue, maître de conférences en langue et littérature persane. Elle s'est spécialisée dans la littérature et la poétique mystique. Engagée pour la cause des femmes dans les pays où elles sont particulièrement opprimées, comme en Afghanistan, Leili Anvar est une femme de médias : Elle a présenté l'émission Islam sur France 2, elle est chroniqueuse pour Le Monde des Religions. Pendant de nombreuses années, elle a animé sur France Culture l'émission de spiritualité Les Racines du Ciel avec Frédéric Lenoir. Avec Leili Anvar, nous découvrons la spiritualité de courants à la fois très anciens et très modernes, notamment ceux du Kurdistan iranien. Avec elle, nous découvrons une femme exceptionnelle : Malek Jân Ne'mati, une grande figure spirituelle du XXème siècle qu'elle a connu et qui l'a profondément marqué. Avec Leili Anvar, nous allons à la rencontre d'un mouvement spirituel qui pratique une vie mystique très profonde, en même temps qu'une ouverture aux sagesses, aux religions, comme à la société contemporaine. Un témoignage lumineux, pour mieux comprendre les grands courants qui traversent l'Orient, en particulier la civilisation persane, l'une des plus anciennes et subtiles de notre planète. Une manière de mieux comprendre ce qui rapproche tous les croyants et tous les hommes et les femmes de bonne volonté. Un défi pour notre temps, au moment où les crispations et les oppositions menacent plus que jamais. Un regard différent et particulièrement riche sur le Christ et sur Dieu, qui a toujours parlé à tous les hommes, de tous les temps, de toutes les cultures et de toutes les langues.

Why is it that your loved ones are usually the ones that end up killing you? You would think that in a loving relationship with someone they would do their best to make you happy. Not drug you and murder you. Unfortunately for some people that is not their reality, and the loved ones that surround them only show love through their fists, which is actually not love at all. Open your closets and remove your wrapped gifts, load up your stockings, and put your frosted cookies out. Today is Christmas eve, and that means we are on our sixth case of Christmas and Crime.
