Most ministry leaders implode because they fail to pay attention to their internal struggles. Dave Wiedis is the author of The Spiritually Healthy Leader: Finding Freedom from Self-Sabotage and the founder of ServingLeaders Ministries. Whether it's self-sabotage by acting against our self-interest, hurting others, or damaging our relationship with God, Dave explains that many people are dominated by unidentified ruling passions, like seeking success, affirmation, respect, or avoiding pain or embarrassment. Such pursuits can supplant the Lordship of Christ by becoming functional idols. To lead well and avoid self-sabotage we must repent by honestly and humbly identifying our ruling passions and submitting to the lordship of Jesus Christ in every area of our lives. TAKEAWAYS Whatever drives you has the capacity to control you, and human passions must never take the place of Christ in our lives Submitting to the lordship of Christ requires humility and honesty You must reflect on and heal from your past experiences that gave rise to your ruling passions to become a great leader Those who are unaware of their own ruling passions pose a unique danger as leaders

This transcript chronicles the spiritual and political transformation of Zambia under President Frederick Chiluba, who declared the nation subject to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Following his election after years of political imprisonment, Chiluba established a national covenant with God, renouncing corruption and idolatry to seek divine guidance for governance. The narrative highlights key events such as the peaceful transition of power, the tragic loss of the national football team, and economic reforms aimed at breaking chains of poverty and disease. Through prayer and strategic investment, the country is portrayed as a beacon of hope and stability in Africa, demonstrating the tangible impact of faith-based leadership on societal renewal.

Time in God's Word and prayer are essential to the life of a fully devoted disciple of Christ! Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Ephesians 6:12, 17-18; Hebrews 4:12; Philippians 4:4-7; 1 Thessalonians 5:17)!

When we ignore or fail to counter the culture's "wisdom" in any arena we are failing to be obedient to Christ and His Word! Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Proverbs 3:5-6; Colossians 2:8; 1 John 4:1)!

Co-host, Addia Wuchner, and I give a Biblical perspective on several issues rooted in Life! Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Mark 12:29-31)!

Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the most quoted promises in Scripture, but understanding the promise means understanding the context around it. God's people were walking through a season they would not have chosen, yet His authority still called for obedience, His heart remained faithful, and even His discipline pointed toward hope.In Week 2 of Discernment Matters, we learn that we don't get to claim God's promises while ignoring God's authority—and that even when His plans are uncomfortable, God is still faithful.

Effective witnessing makes God's people radiant with joy and there is no experience like it on this side of heaven. In this sermon on Ephesians 1:13 titled “Sealing: Problems and Difficulties,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones gives a passionate plea for Christians to seek the sealing of the Spirit. The Christian life is not mechanical and emotionless because the love of God, and the love for God in return is not mechanical or emotionless. The fear of emotions should not discourage Christians to seek this experience of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Lloyd-Jones works through objections to this doctrine and answers them by bringing other passages of the Bible to bear on the topic, while also looking at subsequent church history for other Christian men and women who have experienced this work of the Holy Spirit. Finally, Dr. Lloyd-Jones cautions his listeners on the best way to seek the sealing of the Spirit. One must be hesitant to seek the experience for its own sake but instead should seek the Lord Jesus Christ. The Christian cannot be fooled into thinking the Spirit is not sovereign in this matter but instead must recognize the Lordship of the Spirit. With these cautions, Dr. Lloyd-Jones calls the people of God to seek this remarkable assurance that God graciously gives His people.

Sunday August 2, 2026:  What if the greatest work of the Holy Spirit isn't simply empowering us for ministry, but bringing every part of our lives under the joyful reign of King Jesus?In Week Two of The Lordship of the Spirit, Pastor Matt explores what it means to live beneath Heaven's government in the ordinary moments of life. Through the life of Jesus, this message reveals that true freedom is found not in self-rule, but in surrender to the loving lordship of Christ made real through Holy Spirit.This teaching will challenge the way you think about dependence, anxiety, the Kingdom of God, and what it truly means to live by the Spirit. More than behavior modification, the Holy Spirit is restoring us to the life we were always created for—a life governed by the goodness of the Father and marked by righteousness, peace, and joy. 

Sunday July 26, 2026:  What if the Holy Spirit is far more than the power of God to experience?

Together we'll rediscover the Spirit as the One who reveals Christ to us, forms Christ within us, and reveals Christ through us.This message explores why Jesus could say it was to our advantage that He would leave, how the Spirit brings us from orphanhood into sonship, and why the greatest evidence of the Holy Spirit's work is not merely power through our lives, but Christ formed within them.

Romans 1:2-7 presents Jesus as the central focus of all Scripture and the fulfillment of God's promises. The Old Testament is revealed as a unified story that points to Christ through prophecy, symbolic figures, and God's redemptive plan. Jesus alone fulfills what Adam, Abraham, Moses, David, the priesthood, the sacrificial system, and Israel itself could not. As both fully God and fully man, His divine identity is ultimately confirmed by His resurrection, which validates God's promises, affirms the authority of Scripture, and gives believers confident hope. Paul concludes that the gospel produces the “obedience of faith,” a transformed life that flows from genuine trust in Christ rather than fear, legalism, or outward rule-keeping. True faith reshapes the heart so that obedience becomes the natural fruit of love for God. The result is a people increasingly conformed to Christ, marked by peace, joy, sacrificial love, and the assurance that they are fully accepted by God's grace.

Faith is more than believing—it is believing enough to obey. In this powerful message, discover why biblical faith is always demonstrated through action. Drawing from Matthew 17, Hebrews 11, Joshua 1, and 2 Corinthians 5, Rev. Roland Anang reveals that faith is not passive agreement with God's Word but active obedience to it. What does genuine faith look like? It moves. It speaks. It acts. You'll learn why many believers struggle to see God's promises fulfilled—not because God lacks power, but because faith without corresponding action never reaches its full expression. Through practical illustrations and biblical examples, this sermon explores: Why faith is simply obedience to God's Word. The difference between hearing the Word and acting on it. How unbelief questions God's integrity and limits our response to His promises. Why signs follow believers who are moving in obedience. The importance of guarding your heart from fear, doubt, and negative voices. How to develop spiritual vision before taking possession of God's promises. What it means to use your faith for God's Kingdom rather than merely personal gain. Why every believer has been entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation. How faith empowers us to contend for souls and take spiritual territory for Christ. The message also challenges believers to expand their vision beyond personal breakthroughs and begin believing God for families, communities, workplaces, and entire territories to come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. If you've been asking God for greater faith, this teaching will remind you that faith grows by hearing God's Word—and is proven by doing what He says.  

We cannot separate Christ's Lordship from His salvation of us. It is a fundamental misunderstanding of the gospel to think that you can receive what Jesus offers and at the same time resist what He commands.

Change Your Standards, Change Your Life • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Are you waiting on a spiritual breakthrough while still tolerating the very compromises that drain your strength? In this Sunday Service, we break down a hard but liberating truth: if you want to see your life change, your standards have to change. Real transformation isn't about emotional inspiration or simple self-improvement; it is an intentional, Spirit-led shift in our thinking, habits, and obedience. Join us as we explore 8 biblical keys to break free from old cycles, silence emotional impulses, and build the holy discipline required to step into your next season. Stop settling for less than what God has called you to—it's time to raise the standard and experience real transformation under the Lordship of Christ. Scripture References Romans 12:2 (NKJV) — “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Hebrews 12:1 (NKJV) — “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us…” Galatians 5:16 (NKJV) — “Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” 1 Corinthians 9:27 (NKJV) — “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection…” James 1:22 (NKJV) — “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” Acts 3:19 (NKJV) — “Repent therefore and be converted…” 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NKJV) — “Do not be deceived: ‘Evil company corrupts good habits.'” Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV) — “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of hosts.”

Matthew 7:13-14 - Jesus begins His conclusion to the sermon on the mount with a stark and provocative picture. There are two gates leading to two paths leading to two ends: death on the one hand and life on the other. Like God offering the choice to Adam and Eve in the garden or Moses offering the choice to the children of Israel in the wilderness, Jesus offers again the choice--this time oriented around His saving grace and Lordship. In light of all that Jesus has said in His sermon, choose today whom you will follow. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 22 of our series “Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: The Good Life in the Kingdom of Grace”]

What happens when the very people who wrote our Bible couldn't agree on something? That's what Joe Lake explores on Sunday, July 5th, 2026. Acts 15 reveals a stunning truth: even the most Spirit-filled, miracle-working apostles had to sit down and work through conflict. This isn't a story about perfection—it's a story about unity through disagreement. The early church faced a critical question: Do Gentile believers need to follow Jewish law to be saved? The answer would shape Christianity forever. What's remarkable is how they resolved it—not through power plays or division, but through listening, citing Scripture, watching where the Spirit was moving, and submitting to recognized leadership. Peter pointed to the undeniable evidence: Gentiles were receiving the Holy Ghost just like the Jews did on Pentecost, without circumcision. James then connected this to Old Testament prophecy, showing God's plan had always included the nations. The resolution? Four simple instructions rooted in Leviticus—abstain from idol worship, sexual immorality, strangled things, and blood. These weren't arbitrary rules but boundaries that honored both God's holiness and the conscience of Jewish believers. The lesson for us is profound: we will have conflicts in the body of Christ because we're human, but we can remain family through it all. Our churches aren't meant to be perfect—they're meant to be real places where imperfect people work things out together under the Lordship of Jesus.

At the Hay Festival, Misha Glenny and guests discuss the impact of the Norman invasion on the people and land of Wales and across the modern border with England in what became known as The Welsh Marches, march being a term for a militarized borderland. Hay was one of the first Marcher lordships. Even before 1066, William the Conqueror knew that he would have to subdue the Welsh if he were to control the English and he allowed more and more Norman warlords to establish virtually their own private kingdoms in these Marches. Later some of the Lords were to use these bases to invade Ireland rather than conquer the rest of Wales. Marcher Lords built numerous castles such as the one at Hay and many new towns would then grow up alongside these where there was one law for the English and another for the Welsh and, though the Acts of Union under the Tudors brought an end to much of the Marcher Lords' powers, the distinct identity of these Welsh Marches continued.With Rhun Emlyn Lecturer in the Department of History and Welsh History at Aberystwyth UniversityHelen Fulton Professor of Medieval Literature at the University of BristolAnd Huw Pryce Emeritus Professor of Welsh History at Bangor UniversityProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:R.

In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman examines three major developments shaping the modern West: the UK grooming-gang scandal and the collapse of multicultural assumptions, the temporary U.S.–Iran peace framework and shifting global power, and the SBC’s ongoing debate over women in pastoral ministry. What do these stories reveal about the state of the church, the nation, and the mission of Christianity? Alex argues that Christians must recover moral clarity, doctrinal courage, and missionary conviction in an age marked by confusion, compromise, and civilizational decline. The nations do not need more cowardice or ideological confusion—they need the Lordship of Christ proclaimed with boldness.
