This week we continue our teaching on faith and how it is a requirement as believers for us to be in faith and to trust the Lord. God doesn't require us to be perfect, but He requires us to be in faith. Some may be weaker in their faith, but those who are still must be in faith., Provers 3:5-6, Hebrews 4, Hebrews 10, Hebrews 11, Romans 14, Daniel 3
We're digging into the Bible's teaching on sex and gender—inside and outside the Garden of Eden - relating to transgender. We're asking foundational questions: Was humanity created androgynous? Does Genesis allow for more than two sexes? Is sexual difference a core part of the imago Dei? What does it mean that the man and woman were naked and felt no shame?Dr Rob Smith lectures at Sydney Missionary and Bible College and serves with Living Faith, a pastoral ministry of the Sydney Anglican Church caring for those navigating same-sex attraction or gender incongruence. Rob is the author of a new book The Body God Gives.Rob also spoke to us in February 2025 about the historic and cultural issues relating to the transgender, under the heading 'The Sexed body is the Gendered Self'.The Church Cothechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.

What causes conflict, chaos, and spiritual frustration—even among believers? In this convicting and hope-filled message from James 4, Pastor Jeremiah Genin uncovers the root issues of pride, selfish ambition, and worldliness that keep us from experiencing the fullness of life in Christ. But there's good news: there is a better way—the humble way. This message dives deep into the heart of surrender, revealing how true faith is expressed not just in words, but in a life laid down before God. Through repentance, prayer, and dependence on the Holy Spirit, we discover that God gives more grace to those who choose humility. He doesn't resist us—He longs for us. If you're looking for a church that prioritizes authentic faith, biblical teaching, and Spirit-filled living, Chapel Valley Church in Madison, WI welcomes you. This sermon answers: 1. Why do conflicts and spiritual frustration often arise among believers? 2. How does pride block the flow of God's grace in our lives? 3. What does it look like to walk in humility and live a faith that pleases God?
Scripture reminds us that real faith doesn't sit still: it moves, acts, and reveals itself in love. Be challenged to put faith into action. Pastor James walks us through James 2 with a message titled "Living Faith."

Big Idea: True faith is not just hearing God's Word but purposefully seeking to live it out.
Insights on attitude today from pastor Ray Bentley. What's the best attitude of the heart you can have? It's to have a merciful heart. Jesus was known for being merciful. He was known to the sinners as a friend of sinners because he was merciful. He got in trouble with the religious leaders for the same reputation being too mercy spread.

Albert Einstein said, make things as simple as possible, but no simpler. Today, pastor Ray Bentley makes the Christian life simple. If we would live by this one royal law to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, we wouldn't need all the other laws that there are. Basically, the reason we have so many laws is because nobody loves one another.
Big Idea: When facing temptation, trust in God's goodness and Word, and you will endure and overcome it.

What does real, saving faith look like?

“This may not be my best day, but I know the One who makes tomorrows better,” says the Rev. Daniel Kingsley, explaining how he hopes parishioners should leave the pews after hearing the homily on Sunday. “I think when people come to our pews, they bring the virtue of faith, charity, and sometimes, it's hope that they're grasping for.” Daniel Kingsley, the pastor of Saint Clare Church and the administrator of Saint Pius X Church in Rosedale, Queens, NY, is our featured guest on “Preach” for the Second Sunday in Lent, Year C. After preaching on the Transfiguration of Christ on Mount Tabor in Luke's Gospel, Daniel shares with host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., how preachers are called to inspire their communities to understand their faith as something active, something that transforms them and moves them to action. He emphasizes how important it is for us to live out our faith beyond the pews. “May our witness to the Good News help bring healing and wholeness in everyone we encounter and every place we travel,” he says. “It would be tragic if our Sunday ritual were just a Sunday ritual.” Learn more about your ad choices.
