Do you know what Romans 12:1 2 tells us? It says that if we will present our bodies as a living and holy sacrifice; if we'll stop being conformed to this world; if we'll present ourselves in a way to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Then what God promises to us is that we will be able to test and prove the will of God for our lives. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1170/29

Bible Reading & Key Passage: James 5:12-20

In this installment of the "Domino Effect" series examining Ephesians, Karl Ihfe explores Paul's vision of prayer as revealed in three prayers found in chapters one, three, and six. Ihfe contrasts our often limited, comfort-focused prayers with Paul's expansive prayers that remind believers of the extraordinary power available to them—"the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead" (Ephesians 1:19-20). Paul prays for spiritual wisdom, enlightened hearts, and a deep understanding of Christ's love that surpasses knowledge. Ihfe challenges us to consider whether our prayers reflect an awareness of this resurrection power or if we've settled for prayers centered on comfort and entertainment. Drawing from his recent travels to Kenya and North Africa, he shares how believers in challenging contexts are experiencing God's transformative work despite difficulties. He invites the Broadway church to pray with kingdom perspective, asking God to use them to make a difference in Lubbock rather than limiting what God might do through them. https://bwaychurch.org

Listen to Pastor Marc preach from Ecclesiastes 2:12-17, exploring three competing pursuits in the text and showing which one ultimately prevails.

Life is full of choices, and every step matters. God's Word reminds us to walk carefully not as the unwise, but as the wise making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil. Instead of being led astray by worldly pleasures, we are called to be filled with the Spirit and to seek the will of the Lord.

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.What if preparing for death is the key to truly living? In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, Benny and Brendan explore the Stoic approach to mortality, not as something to fear, but as a tool to cultivate presence, peace, and purpose.Through personal stories, Stoic reflections, and practical exercises, they discuss how coming to terms with death can transform how we live day to day. You'll learn how Stoicism reframes death as a natural event, how meditating on mortality increases gratitude, and how the loss of loved ones can become a powerful teacher.This conversation pairs beautifully with our article Why Death Needs Rebranding, which challenges the modern fear of dying and invites us to embrace the Stoic wisdom of memento mori.Whether you're dealing with grief, contemplating your legacy, or just looking for a deeper connection to life, this episode offers guidance from the ancient Stoics and from two modern voices living the practice.Support the show⁠www.ViaStoica.com⁠⁠https://viastoica.com/stoic-life-coaching⁠⁠https://viastoica.com/benny-voncken/⁠⁠https://viastoica.com/Brendan-hogle/⁠YouTube: ⁠/viastoica⁠Reach us: ⁠info@viastoica.com⁠Produced by: ⁠http://badmic.com⁠

In a world where much feels uncertain, Ecclesiastes reminds us that God's sovereignty rules over all. This passage calls us to wisdom—not as a means to control life, but as a posture of trust in the One who does. We'll explore how humility, contentment, and righteousness shape our response to both prosperity and adversity. True wisdom recognizes that while we don't always understand God's plans, we can rest in His perfect rule, finding joy and peace in Him.

Wisdom isn't just about knowledge—it's about living in a way that honors the Lord in our daily choices. In a world full of distractions, how do we stay focused on what truly matters? In this episode, we begin a three-part series on Walking in Wisdom, looking at what biblical wisdom really is, how it differs from worldly wisdom, and how we can seek the Lord's guidance in our everyday lives. We'll explore Ephesians 5:15-16, where Paul urges us to walk carefully, making the best use of our time because the days are evil. Are we measuring our days by how much we accomplish, or by our faithfulness to the Lord? Are we seeking wisdom in the small, ordinary moments of life?

Mark Fesmire teaches from Ephesians 5:16.

This is a podcast from primarily sermons preached at City Church Garland.

What does it mean to live wisely and discern rightly? Jesus teaches about judgment, discernment, and the importance of aligning one's life with God's will, emphasizing the need to avoid hypocrisy, seek God faithfully, and build one's life on the solid foundation of His teachings. Listen to Pastor Jeffrey Quek's sermon from Matthew 7 for further insight.  

Life is unpredictable, death is inevitable, but in between, God calls us to truly live. In Ecclesiastes 9, we're reminded that time and chance happen to us all, but rather than fearing the unknown, we are called to embrace each moment with joy, purpose, and wisdom. Join us as we unpack this powerful chapter and discover what it really means to live life to the fullest! As always be blessed and enjoy.

God made the world to reflect his wisdom. As people observe God's wise ordering of the universe they compile proverbs, short sayings meant to be contemplated and applied to everyday life. Every culture has proverbs, so it's no surpise we should find a book full of them in our Bibles. But what is wisdom as the Bible sees it? How do we live well in the world God made? David and Seth explore the genre of Proverbs and how we encounter God's wisdom perfectly reflected in Jesus.

Have you ever wondered why certain struggles seem to hit harder or come out of nowhere? The enemy doesn't play fair, but he's also predictable—if you know what to watch for. In this episode, we uncover the enemy's strategies and reveal how you can stay one step ahead. Through Scripture and real-world application, you'll learn to recognize his attacks, guard your heart, and walk boldly in God's truth. "In order that satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes."  - 2 Corinthians 2:11Episode Bible Study Notes:1 Peter 5:8 (NIV): "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."Sober-mindedness means staying spiritually aware and avoiding distractions that cloud your connection with God.2 Corinthians 2:11 (NIV): "In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes."Knowing the enemy's strategies helps us stand firm and avoid being caught off guardJames 4:7 (NIV): "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."Resisting temptation starts with surrendering fully to God.2. Insights on the Enemy's Tactics:The Roaring Lion: The enemy is compared to a lion because of his strategic, stealthy, and sudden attacks.He often targets us during spiritual weakness or isolation. Just like a lion stalks its prey, satan waits for moments when we let our guard down.Masquerades as Light (2 Corinthians 11:14): satan disguises his attacks to appear harmless or even good, making spiritual discernment essential.3. The Three Temptations (1 John 2:16):Lust of the Flesh: Physical desires that conflict with God's will.Lust of the Eyes: Coveting things we don't have, like wealth or status.Pride of Life: Self-reliance and seeking recognition apart from God.4. Living Wisely and Staying Spiritually Attuned:Ephesians 5:15-16 (NIV): "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil."Avoiding distractions—whether they're material, emotional, or digital—allows us to hear God more clearly, just as He revealed through moments of stillness in my life.

Jesus wasn't a centrist. That's too simple a conclusion. And following after Him with earnest zeal does not draw us to a specific political position. Jesus brings an entirely new paradigm. He makes us citizens of His Kingdom by the power of His blood. And yet, God has placed us in this time and this place, and as citizens of His Kingdom, we have been called to proclaim Him with our lives, with our voice, and even with our votes. But how should we vote? Should we vote? Let's discuss.Join us each week for the Chasing Shadows podcast—new episodes available on Thursdays throughout the Ecclesiastes series.Do you have a question you'd like us to answer?
