When we are followers of Christ, we have to determine what God is doing.
Deacon Remmy teaches on having intimacy with God's Word and Obedience. Believers must intimately interact with God's word to receive personal wisdom. Key principles include obedience, submission, and humility. Your God-given position is a place to produce results, and your skills can be used to advance God's kingdom. Never neglect God's word, regardless of circumstances.
The goal of Christianity is Christlikeness. Spiritual growth is the fruit of our faith; evidence that we are connected to the vine. In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany unpack what spiritual growth really is, why it matters, and how believers partner with the Holy Spirit to become more like Christ.They explain the nature of growth, the role of discipline and refinement, and the daily practices that help Christians mature in their faith.What We Discussed01:17 – Growth and Maturity in ScripturePractical Theology connects doctrine to daily life. Examples from Corinth and Hebrews show how believers can remain spiritually immature. The Christian life involves either progressing or regressing—there is no standing still.03:42 – Defining Spiritual GrowthSpiritual growth is a progressive development in key areas of life: spiritual character, knowledge of God, faith, and an appreciation of Christ's work.05:00 – The Nature of Spiritual GrowthGrowth is a partnership between the Holy Spirit and believers. The Spirit empowers us to live out God's truth, producing behavioral growth expressed in love, patience, and obedience.07:05 – Lifelong Learning and RefinementSpiritual growth is not linear. God refines believers through discipline and correction. 09:40 – The Goal of GrowthThe ultimate outcome is to become more like Christ. The fruits of the Spirit shape believers into His likeness.12:00 – Practicing Spiritual Growth DailySpiritual disciplines mirror physical habits. Believers need daily nourishment from God's Word, obedience to His commands, and rest in His promises. 14:33 – A Call to Ongoing GrowthSpiritual growth has infinite capacity. Christians should never be satisfied with their current condition but continually press forward in maturity.Key Quote“Although we'll never attain absolute spiritual maturity in this world, we can be relatively mature for our spiritual age as we give ourselves daily to the means God uses to grow us.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback!

Pastor Andy teaches that an authentic relationship with God requires more than simply adding Christ to a life that remains unchanged. Isaiah's vision reminds us that encountering God's presence should lead to a deep awareness of personal sin and a willingness to be transformed. Believers are urged to evaluate their closeness to God, confront the behaviors and mindsets that keep them distant, and fully engage their faith to experience the power, change, and blessing that come from truly being reconciled with Him.

When reading through the New Testament, we see that God provides both general and specific directives to Christians. General directives include learning and applying God's Word (Rom 12:1-2; Col 3:16; 2 Tim 2:15; 1 Pet 2:2; Jam 1:22), loving others as Christ has loved us (John 13:34), being filled with and walking by the Spirit (Eph 5:18; Gal 5:16), submitting to governing authorities and paying taxes (Rom 13:1, 6), stimulating one another to love and good deeds (Heb 10:24), and not forsaking our assembling together (Heb 10:25). Believers are also called to live by faith (Heb 10:38; 11:6), seek godly wisdom (Jam 1:5), pursue peace with others (Rom 12:18), forgive one another (Col 3:13), speak graciously (Col 4:6), and show kindness (Eph 4:32; cf. Prov 3:3-4). Additional directives include edifying others (Rom 14:19; 1 Th 5:11), serving in love (Gal 5:13), doing good to all (Gal 6:10), seeking the best interests of others (Phil 2:3-4), rejoicing always, praying without ceasing, and giving thanks in everything (1 Th 5:16-18), and doing all for the glory of God (1 Cor 10:31). Other instructions involve the inward spiritual life. Believers are to abide in Christ (John 15:4-5), present their bodies as living sacrifices (Rom 12:1), and renew their minds through Scripture so that they are transformed and not conformed to this world (Rom 12:2; Eph 4:23). We are to set our minds on things above (Col 3:1-2), and put on the new self—marked by compassion, humility, gentleness, patience, and love (Col 3:10-14). Paul urges believers to live without grumbling or disputing, so that we shine as lights in the world (Phil 2:14-15). We are also to restore sinning believers in gentleness (Gal 6:1), bear one another's burdens (Gal 6:2), and practice hospitality without complaint (Rom 12:13; 1 Pet 4:9). The Christian life is marked by moral purity—fleeing sexual immorality, glorifying God with our bodies (1 Cor 6:18-20; 1 Th 4:3-5), and remaining spiritually vigilant and prayerful (1 Pet 5:8; Eph 6:10-18). Some directives are role-specific. Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church, and wives are to submit to their husbands' loving spiritual leadership and show them respect (Eph 5:22, 25, 33; 1 Pet 3:1-2). Children are to obey and honor their parents (Eph 6:1-4). Employees are to serve their supervisors with sincerity (Eph 6:5-8; Col 3:23-24), and supervisors are to treat their workers with fairness and integrity (Eph 6:9; Col 4:1; Jam 5:4). Older women are to teach younger women to love their husbands and children, and to be pure and sensible (Tit 2:3-5), while older men are to be dignified, temperate, and sound in faith (Tit 2:2). Younger men are to be self-controlled, an example of good deeds, and sound in doctrine (Tit 2:6-8). Church members are instructed to support their pastors materially and respectfully (Gal 6:6; 1 Tim 5:17-18), and to use their spiritual gifts for the edification of the body (Rom 12:4-8; 1 Pet 4:10). We are to sing with thankfulness (Eph 5:19; Col 3:16), care for orphans and widows (Jam 1:27; 1 Tim 5:3-16), pray for all people—including leaders (1 Tim 2:1-2), and carry out church discipline when needed, with love and humility (1 Cor 5:1-13). Finally, Paul urges believers to flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with a pure heart (2 Tim 2:22). Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.

Paul warns the believers to watch out for false teachers who insist on circumcision and outward religious works. He explains that if anyone could boast in human credentials, it would be him — he was a Hebrew of Hebrews, a Pharisee, zealous, and blameless by the law's standards. Yet, he counts all of that as worthless compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ.Paul emphasizes that righteousness does not come through the law but through faith in Christ. His goal is to know Christ, share in His sufferings, and experience the power of His resurrection. He admits he has not “arrived,” but presses forward like a runner in a race, striving toward the heavenly prize in Christ Jesus.He urges believers to follow his example and warns against those who live as “enemies of the cross,” whose focus is earthly things. Instead, Christians are reminded that their true citizenship is in heaven, from where they eagerly await Christ, who will transform their lowly bodies into glorious ones like His.Key Themes:True righteousness comes by faith in Christ, not by works or heritage.The Christian life is like a race — pressing forward, not looking back.Believers are citizens of heaven, awaiting Christ's return.Your words were found and I ate them

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 1:27-33: Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages, for the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land. When Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not drive them out completely. And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them. Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived among them, but became subject to forced labor. Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, or the inhabitants of Sidon or of Ahlab or of Achzib or of Helbah or of Aphik or of Rehob, so the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out. Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, so they lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to forced labor for them. — Judges 1:27-33 It started small. One tribe didn't fully obey. Then another. Then another. Until compromise became the norm, Manasseh, Ephraim, Zebulun, Asher, and Naphtali—all of them— failed to drive out the people God had commanded them to remove. And the language is chilling: they did not drive out… they lived among… What began as a delay turned into disobedience. Disobedience evolved into a cultural shift. Before long, coexisting with sin replaced conquering it. Here's the danger: when one man compromises, others will follow. When one tribe accepts partial obedience, others begin to believe it's acceptable. Spiritual apathy is contagious. It numbs courage. It silences conviction. And it spreads through passivity. As Christians, our influence carries weight. Your kids, your friends, your brothers, your church—they're all watching. Not to see perfection, but to see consistency. To see surrender. To see obedience even when it's hard. You may think your compromise only affects you. But it doesn't. It affects your circle. And eventually, it reshapes a culture. Don't underestimate the influence of your obedience—or your passivity. This is your call to drive out what needs to be driven out. Don't coexist with what God has called you to confront. Stand up today, even if others sit down. ASK THIS: What area of my life have I let slide because others around me have? Who's watching my obedience and learning from it? What sin or habit have I tolerated that God has clearly addressed? What would courageous obedience look like today? DO THIS: Identify one spiritual compromise you've tolerated due to others' influence, and take a stand to reject it. PRAY THIS: God, I don't want to blend in with spiritual apathy. Give me the courage to confront what others have ignored and to live fully surrendered to You. Amen PLAY THIS: "Give Me Faith."

DOING LIFE: Daily Devotions For Finding Peace in Stressful Times
While we Believers live under Grace and not the Law; we recognize that keeping the laws of society allow us to live together, peacefully and productively.
Send us a textGalatians 6Believers should support one another in love, restoring with gentleness those who have fallen into sin while being aware of their own weaknesses. Paul reminds them to bear one another's burdens, fulfilling the law of Christ. He warns against pride and self-deception, urging everyone to examine their own actions. He emphasizes that whatever one sows, they will also reap—those who live for the flesh will experience destruction, but those who live by the Spirit will receive eternal life. Paul encourages perseverance in doing good, promising that in due time, they will reap a harvest if they do not give up. Believers should do good to everyone, especially fellow Christians. Finally, he stresses that boasting is in the cross of Jesus, not personal achievements, for grace comes only through Him. Christians are imperfect and sometimes find themselves caught up in shortcomings. Thankfully, God has created His family to support one another. If we remain humble and cautious, we can assist each other in repenting of sin and restoring a faithful relationship with God. Cultivating spiritual qualities in the lives of others benefits them and leads to gaining favor from the Lord and support from fellow believers. Failing to engage in supportive and loving actions toward others leaves our lives void of God's blessings. You reap what you sow. We must never lose heart in doing good to fellow Christians while also seeking to help everyone we meet. In our service, we take pride only in our glorious Lord and Savior. Heavenly Father, thank You for calling us to walk in love, humility, and service. Help us to bear one another's burdens with compassion and restore those who have fallen with gentleness. Keep us from pride and self-deception, and guide us to sow seeds of righteousness that lead to eternal life bountifully. Strengthen us to persevere in doing good, even when it feels difficult or unnoticed. Teach us to serve others selflessly, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ. May we boast only in You, finding our identity in the cross of Christ. We will reflect His love in our lives. Thought Questions: - How do you move past your own insecurities and get more involved in helping Christians overcome their struggles? Is this important? - Are you sowing spiritual gifts into the lives of others? In what sense do you reap what you sow when investing in people? - Why is it important to prioritize Christians when rendering service? Is it also important to serve and help those who are not yet Christians?
On a warm evening, I met up with friends in a downtown area. We were excited to eat at a restaurant that offered live jazz music outside, but when we arrived the patio was full. Disappointed, we left and had to walk several blocks to find another place to eat. On earth, disappointments come in all sizes, both big and small. Beloved pets pass away. Careers fizzle. Health problems occur. We lose relationships with loved ones. In our setbacks, we have God’s comfort, but our life stories don’t always contain the blissful endings we long for. Believers, however, have the hope of a joyful eternity. The book of Revelation records God giving John a breathtaking vision. John saw “the Holy City, the new Jerusalem” (21:2). “Prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband” (v. 2), it radiated God’s glory. God would inhabit the place along with all His people. In His city there would be no crime, no darkness, and no fear (vv. 25–27). Light, peace, and goodwill would abound. On the night I met my friends for dinner, we ended up walking back past the first restaurant. White lights lit the sidewalk, and we stopped to listen to the music as we ate ice cream. I savored the moment, but we know that no earthly joy can compare with the ultimate ending believers will enjoy forever.

On this episode of The King's Healing Room Podcast Bishop. Hill returns after a week to deliver the word of GOD.
"I'm about to do something brand-new" is indicative of God's promise of renewal and transformation. Believers begin a new life when they are born again by the Spirit. Spiritual transformation builds believers' faith. Embrace becoming a new creation and enjoy a new life in Christ. Although we have new life in Jesus, believers wrestle with theold nature and old self. We must actively seek to put on the new self.
Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews what is going to happen, when Believers “meet” the Lord in the air at His return. This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.
1 Corinthians 10 warns against idolatry. It was the root cause of the infant Jewish nation's sins as they left Egypt under Moses. Paul explains that their experiences were typical of, and in common with, those of the believers; and hence a clarion warning lest we think we stand; yet fall through pride. Verses 1-5 contain a warning to the Corinthian believers against complacency since the experiences of Israel leaving Egypt were both symbolic of our walk in Christ and in reality very similar to all followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul says that God's provision of water is like the spiritual drink of His Word and our sustaining throughout our wanderings in the wilderness of life. Verses 6-13 warn us against idolatry which is called "covetousness" in Colossians 3 verse 5. Trials are certain to come to every disciple. However we need not be discouraged since our Heavenly Father has promised that the trial will not be greater than we can bear. And even if it seems unbearable that He will provide us with a way of escape. For our part we must pray: "Lead us not into temptation, ie trial". We also need to live our lives faithfully in avoiding temptations which arise due to our foolish decisions and actions. Verses 14-22 give practical advice in avoiding a likely problem from a foolish decision to partake of idol worship - in the belief that idols are non entities: 1 Corinthians 8 the entire chapter. The Apostle explains the dangers of rationalising in that chapter and here in chapter 10. A failure to understand these matters and to behave as God would have His children do is extremely dangerous. Paul says that it is in effect setting ourselves against God. The fellowship we enjoy with the Father and His Son is not to be entangled with the beliefs and practices of those who do not understand the teachings of the Word of God. From verses 23-30 Paul tells us that nothing in the life of the believer when it comes to eating food and drinking wine is forbidden to believers because God owns and has given these blessings to His children. However it is their responsibility to not partake of these to excess. Believers also have a responsibility to respect the conscience of their fellow disciples. The rights of faithful believers should not be exercised if the exercising of those rights would result in a loss of faith for others, and lead them away from the kingdom of God. The final two verses of the chapter tell us that, whatever we do, "Do all to the glory of God". And since we are commanded to do all to the Father's glory that glory must be chiefly moral, not just physical. Contemplate carefully the words of Habbakuk 2:14 and compare these words with Jeremiah 22 verses 15-16. A further lesson we need to learn from Paul's example and emulate is how his life demonstrates that in his life he shows us how he did all to the glory of God. Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciateion of God's words, join again tomorrow at https://christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/

A continuation of Sunday morning's message about the dangers of gainsayers—those who contradict and oppose truth, and reemphasizing the fact that their opposition stems from selfish motives and a disregard for sound doctrine. Believers have a responsibility to stand against these individuals, using Scripture to expose their falsehoods with the hope and goal of convincing them of their sin, and also offering a path to recovery. This message shows the importance of maintaining clear God-ordained distinctions, such as those between male and female, and emphasizes the necessity of obedience to God's commandments in love, rejecting the notion that believers are free from moral accountability.
Today's Political and Religious Climates Harden Hearts of Many “Believers” Who Turn Away from God - Jesus Followers Are to and Can Help Those with Hardening Hearts MESSAGE SUMMARY: No matter the hardness of a person's heart, who has walked away from God, they will respond to your initiatives that are based on your love and trust. However, so many of us Christians are so focused on doing their religious or spiritual things and keeping to their “busy” schedules that they do not have time to love and care for the needs of other – physical and/or spiritual. Is there anything you can do for someone with a calloused heart or who has walked away from God because they were not discipled? Yes, you must start by praying for them – asking God to move in their lives; asking God to intervene in their life situations; asking God to break up the hardness of their heart. Also, you must build a better personal relationship, with this person, through your trust and caring love. In Mathew 18:12-13, Jesus presents God's perspective regarding the pursuit of even one person that has walked away: “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, to you I acknowledge that I don't want to go the way of powerlessness and humility. Like Peter, I want to know what you are doing with those around me. I love you. Help me to trust you with this day, with tomorrow, and with my whole life. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 92). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Briefing Document: The Power of Hope This document summarizes key themes and ideas from Joe Granieri's sermon, "Are You a Prisoner of Hope?", focusing on the multifaceted nature of biblical hope and its transformative power in a believer's life. Main Themes: Defining Biblical Hope: Hope is presented not as a wishful desire but as a "confident expectation of good" rooted in the absolute goodness of God. It's a forward-looking mindset that transcends past hurts and negative emotions. The Goodness of God as the Foundation of Hope: A foundational belief in God's unwavering goodness, even in the face of suffering (e.g., cancer, disease), is essential for hope. The sermon asserts that after Jesus' sacrifice, God is "never angry with Christians" and desires salvation for all. Hope, Faith, and Love: An Interconnected Trinity: These three concepts are presented as inseparable and mutually reinforcing. Hope is positioned as central, with faith expressing itself through love. Hope as an Anchor for the Soul: Biblical hope provides stability and steadfastness, particularly during life's storms and emotional turmoil, connecting believers directly to the presence of God. Hope's Practical Manifestations and Benefits: Hope actively impacts a believer's daily life, leading to joy, peace, amplified imagination, perseverance, and ultimately, victory over depression and adverse circumstances. Discipleship and Outward Focus: A disciple is defined by an outward focus, caring for others rather than being self-absorbed. This selfless love is a byproduct and expression of hope. The Role of Imagination and Experience: Hope is connected to the imagination, allowing believers to "see the invisible" and envision their God-given future. Christianity is described as an "experiential thing" where hope is cultivated through divine encounters. God's Restoration and Inheritance: Hope is sustained by the belief that God is a God of restoration, capable of returning what has been lost, even "twice as much" as seen in the story of Job. Believers have an "inheritance from God" encompassing healing, peace, joy, and every spiritual blessing. Overcoming Depression through Hope and Praise: Hope, coupled with praise, is presented as a powerful antidote to depression and anxiety, enabling believers to maintain a positive outlook even when circumstances are dire. The Example of Abraham: Abraham serves as a prime example of someone who, "contrary to hope" (natural hope), believed in God's supernatural power, demonstrating unwavering faith despite challenging circumstances and personal weaknesses. Most Important Ideas and Facts: Definition of Hope: "Hope looks to the future. It does not let your past affect you. Hope doesn't allow negative emotions or past hurts to defeat it. If you have hope, then you have a positive expectation of good." The Absolute Goodness of God: "If you do not believe in the absolute goodness of God all the time, then you cannot have hope." This includes believing God does not cause negative events like cancer or earthquakes. Post-Calvary Perspective of God's Wrath: "The net result of that is God is never angry with Christians. He's never angry with us." Jesus took all the wrath and judgment. Hope's Connection to Imagination: "Hope is the New Testament word for imagination." It allows us to "see the invisible" and envision our future. Hope as an Anchor: "The hope we have is an anchor to your soul. That's your emotions... sure and steadfast which enters the presence behind the veil." This anchor connects our emotional state to the "fullness of joy" in God's presence. God's Will for Salvation: "God's will is that every person would be born again and go to heaven. Hell was not made for man." Discipleship vs. Believer: Moving from being a "believer to being a disciple" involves becoming "not self-focused and not self-absorbed or self-entitled," but caring about others. Faith without Love is Worthless: "Paul said, 'Faith without love is worthless. It doesn't have any any positive effect in your life.'" God's Word Creates Hope: "God's word creates hope in our heart... so that through the patience and comfort of the scriptures we might have hope." Hope Defeats Depression: David's example in Psalms 42 and 43 demonstrates how to overcome being "cast down" by "Hope in God" and "yet praise him." Living Effortlessly: Drawing an analogy to eagles and lilies of the field, the sermon suggests God wants believers to "live effortlessly" by receiving from Him and flowing in the Spirit. Abraham's Faith and Hope: Abraham "contrary to hope" (natural circumstances) "in hope in the supernatural power of God, he believed." God looked at Abraham through "faith righteousness," overlooking his faults. Our Inheritance in Christ: Believers have a "living hope" through Jesus' resurrection, leading to an "inheritance... incorruptible, undefiled, that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you." This inheritance includes "soundness of mind, healing for your body, peace, joy, everything that he died for, it's even blessing and prosperity." Prosperity of the Soul: "As your soul prospers, how does it prosper? You grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus. You learn about your imagination. You learn about your identity. You learn about the finished work of Christ. You learn about the absolute goodness of God." In essence, Granieri's message emphasizes that biblical hope is an active, confident, and transformative force rooted in God's character, experienced through faith and love, and manifested in a life of purpose, joy, and peace, regardless of earthly circumstances. It is a choice to believe in God's unfailing goodness and His ability to fulfill His promises, both in this life and the next.
On this episode we spoke about Marian, a caller on our last episode who genuinely believes the Government has a policy of replacing the Irish population with foreigners. We were shocked to discover that 22% of people believe in the 'Great Replacement Theory'.
From Genesis to Revelation, there is one theme that occurs time and time again, there is a place called heaven where the people of God will spend eternity with God. Even though the entire Bible seems to point us toward heaven, it does not seem to be the topic of many of our conversations, it does not seem to affect our day to day life. Why is this? If the entire course of our Christian life and all of history is heading toward followers of Jesus spending eternity in heaven, what does that mean for us right now? What will it be like? What will we do there? Who will be there? We aim to answer those questions in this new series, Paradeisos (Paradise), during this 3 week series, we will look at what the Bible actually tells us about heaven and why it is so important. In the third and final message of our series, Brent Cummings, our Young Adults Pastor, walks us through what the bible says about who exactly will in heaven. It is a question that is not as simple as it may seem at first, but the it is clear from Scripture that those who will spend forever in the perfect, glorious place called heaven will be 1) Animals, 2) Angels, 3) Believers in Jesus Christ, 4) Those under grace, and 5) God himself.

DOWNLOAD SLIDES DOWNLOAD AFFIRMATION OF GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH Pastor Bryan Hudson's message "The Spirit of Faith, Part Two: The Good Fight of Faith" emphasizes that faith in God is not only for crises but a consistent lifestyle of belief and action rooted in God's Word. Faith in God is an active, results-producing conviction that connects us to God's promises and must be developed like a muscle through discipline, consistency, and endurance. A “good fight” of faith is assured victory because God fights our battles, while a “bad fight” comes from unpreparedness and inconsistency. Believers must look to Jesus, lay aside distractions and sins, exercise patience, and run with endurance to avoid spiritual fainting. Regardless of the situations we face, a lifestyle of faith, and "fighting the good fight of faith" enables us to remain undefeated and triumphant because God's treasure lives within us. Summary of Message (Generated by OpenAI: The Spirit of Faith, Part Two: The Good Fight of Faith 1. Foundation of the Message Key Texts: 2 Corinthians 4:13 – And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak 1 Timothy 6:11–12, But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses” Review from Part One: Faith is more than a tool for crises—it is a lifestyle. God has placed His treasure in “earthen vessels,” showing both His confidence in us and our responsibility to live faithfully. 2. What is the Spirit of Faith? A disposition or attitude aligned with the Word of God. The human spirit infused by the Holy Spirit producing bold, enduring faith. Not only belief, but a lifestyle that reflects faith in thought, conduct, and endurance. 3. Faith Defined Faith in God is an active, results-producing belief, that involves applying God's Word, taking action based on His promises. Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Weymouth's translation: “Now faith is a well grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see.Analogy: Faith as a key fob—even when the car is not seen, possession of the fob guarantees its reality. The Amplified Bible, “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things we hope for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality - faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.” 4. The Good Fight of Faith A good fight: one where the outcome is already assured because God fights for us. A bad fight: when unprepared, careless, or inconsistent (e.g., cramming for a test, showing talent without discipline). Consistency—not just talent—earns trust. Faith is inseparable from faithfulness. 5. Lifestyle of Faith Faith must be developed like a muscle—strengthened through use, testing, and endurance. A lifestyle of faith is evidenced through: Consistent good works. Excellence in daily living. Spiritual disciplines (prayer, Bible reading, fasting, agreement in community). Without faith as a lifestyle, believers risk “fainting”—losing heart due to lack of spiritual nutrition. 6. How to Fight the Good Fight Look to Jesus – the Author and Finisher of faith (Hebrews 12:1–2). Lay aside weights and sins – not only obvious sins but unnecessary burdens. Run with endurance – not just soaring or sprinting, but faithfully walking without fainting. Exercise patience – faith and patience work together; they are “power twins.” Avoid weariness – consider the perseverance of Jesus, family, and others who endured. 7. Dangers of Fainting Physical fainting comes from lack of oxygen/nutrition. Spiritual fainting comes from lack of connection to Christ, lack of Word intake, and lack of consistency. Remedy: Re-focus on Jesus, nourish faith through obedience, and draw strength from faithful examples. 8. Marks of a Good Fight 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 – We may be hard pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down, but never crushed, in despair, forsaken, or destroyed. 1 John 4:4 – Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. The difference lies between external pressures and internal strength through Christ. 9. Affirmation of Faith (Confession) DOWNLOAD The sermon concluded with a powerful declaration: I have the spirit of faith and a lifestyle that supports it. I fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life. My faith grows daily through God's grace in both good and bad times. I endure with patience, will not faint, and triumph in Christ. 10. Core Takeaways Faith is not situational but a lifestyle of faithfulness. A “good fight” is already won because Christ secures the victory. Preparation, discipline, and patience make faith durable. Believers must avoid fainting by staying spiritually nourished and focused on Jesus. The spirit of faith ensures we triumph—even under pressure—because God's treasure lives within us.
Sometimes our faithfulness to the Lord will lead to places of persecution. We look at a familiar story today and understand even when the threat is more intense, the Lord is present! Trials can't separate you from the presence of God. These trials are also meant to change us, not destroy us. Join us as we see what happens "When the Fire is Hot". Chapters (00:00:00) - When the Fire Is Hot(00:03:04) - Daniel, When the Fire Is Hot(00:11:35) - God is able to Deliver the Israelites(00:16:25) - The burning of the boys(00:18:52) - What Happens When the Pressure Increases on Believers?(00:25:03) - The Lord Is Present in the Fire(00:32:11) - Breeders Are Refined(00:41:10) - Clifford Baptist Church
Sunday Service: In Revelation 3:7–13, Jesus commends the church of Philadelphia for their faithfulness despite their limited resources, reminding them that He alone holds the Key of David—the ultimate authority to open doors of opportunity. Unlike other churches, Philadelphia receives no rebuke, but instead encouragement: though persecuted, they remained steadfast in the Word, and Jesus promises to protect them in the coming worldwide tribulation. This passage teaches that true strength lies not in numbers or wealth but in perseverance, obedience, and love. When God opens a door, no one can shut it; when He closes a door, no one can force it open. Believers are urged to remain faithful, guard their salvation, and endure to the finish line, where they will receive a crown and reign with Christ in the new creation, free from pain and filled with everlasting joy.

Have you ever wondered why your faith sometimes feels more like a checklist than a living relationship?Pastor Jeff and Tiffany kick off our Practical Theology series with an introduction to Zoëlogy; The study of the Christian life. We learn why beliefs must shape our behavior, how assurance of salvation lays the foundation for growth, and why active involvement in the church is essential to the Christian walk.What We Discussed: 00:00 - Intro Practical Theology, also called Applied Theology, is the study of how Christian doctrine shapes everyday life. Practical theology asks: How should what I believe change how I live?03:12 - What is “Zoëology”?The word Zoëlogy comes from two Greek words: zoe (life) and logos (word, study, discourse). Put together, it means the doctrine of the Christian life. 06:45 - Belief and BehaviorThe key principle of zoëlogy is that belief determines behavior. A person who has been born again should display that new life in the way they live, empowered by the Holy Spirit.09:16 - The Assurance of SalvationUnderstanding that salvation is a gift through Christ's finished work, not through human effort, is foundational. This confidence in being divinely forgiven lays the groundwork for spiritual growth and daily victory in the Christian life.12:22 - The Role of the ChurchEcclesiology, the doctrine of the church, teaches that Christians are called into fellowship and service within the body of Christ. Believers are “fellow workers” with Christ (1 Corinthians 3:9) in building His church. Active participation, worship, service, and fellowship with other Christians are essential parts of living out practical theology.Key Quote“Practical theology is simply asking: how does what I know of God change how I live for Him?” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback!

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Robin: EVERYTHING WAS HOLY…. What are five things no one would know about Burt Ward who played Robin in the TV show Batman? ### 1. **A Speed-Reading Sensation** Before hitting the big time, young Burt became an accomplished speed-reader. He was tested before the American Medical Society in Beverly Hills and clocked a staggering **30,000 words per minute with 90% comprehension**—far beyond average reading speeds. ([Classic Movie Hub - CMH][1], [TV Banter][2]) --- ### 2. **World's Youngest Professional Ice Skater** At just **two years old**, Burt was featured in the magazine *Strange as It Seems* as the **world's youngest professional ice skater**, thanks to a traveling ice show owned by his father. ([Wikipedia][3], [Classic Movie Hub - CMH][1]) --- ### 3. **He Did (Most of) His Own Dangerous Stunts** Unlike many stars, Burt performed most of his own stunts, even though his face made using a stunt double difficult. This led to multiple emergency room visits—**dozens**, he says—due to injuries from stunts like being tied to a table with a real buzz saw inches away or suspended above Bengal tigers. ([Wikipedia][3], [Express][4]) A Reddit user humorously shared one of Burt's more wild stories, recalling how during one stunt he was flung from the Batmobile when the door unexpectedly opened—and cracked an arm. ([Reddit][5]) --- ### 4. **Musical Collaborations with Frank Zappa** During *Batman*'s peak, Burt recorded several tracks produced by Tom Wilson and arranged by Frank Zappa. Notably, he released a single featuring "Boy Wonder, I Love You" (written by Zappa) and a cover of "Orange Colored Sky." ([Wikipedia][3], [Classic Movie Hub - CMH][1]) --- ### 5. **Rescue Work for Giant-Breed Dogs** Beyond Hollywood, Burt—and his wife Tracy—devoted themselves to canine welfare. In **1994**, they founded *Gentle Giants Rescue and Adoptions*, significantly impacting the lives of giant-breed dogs. Their nonprofit has facilitated **over 15,500 adoptions** and often houses around **50 dogs at home** awaiting forever families. ([Wikipedia][3], [People.com][6]) Additionally, their company *Gentle Giants* produces natural pet food aimed at boosting pets' longevity and wellbeing. ([People.com][6]) --- ### Bonus Tidbits: * Burt actually chose his own stage name: swapping “Gervis” for *Ward* (his mother's maiden name) and altering “Bert” to “Burt” because it had more punch. ([Wikipedia][3], [Classic Movie Hub - CMH][1]) * He holds a **Guinness World Record** for portraying the same live-action superhero in the most episodes (120 as Robin). ([Facts.net][7], [The Famous People][8]) * In **2020**, Burt received a star on the **Hollywood Walk of Fame**—a fitting tribute to the iconic Boy Wonder. ([Hollywood Walk of Fame][9]) To understand the deep meaning of redemption in Greek scripture, it is essential to explore the key terms used by New Testament writers, primarily agorazō and its cognates (exagorazō), and lytron with its related forms (apolytrōsis, lytrōsis). These words paint a picture of redemption as a decisive, costly, and legally binding rescue from the slavery of sin and its consequences. Key Greek words for redemption Agorazō (ἀγοράζω) and exagorazō (ἐξαγοράζω) The verb agorazō means "to buy or purchase" and is derived from agora, the Greek marketplace or slave market. The related verb exagorazō, which means "to buy out or buy from," intensifies this meaning. Bought at a price: The use of agorazō emphasizes that humanity was on the auction block of sin but has been purchased by Christ. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:20, "For you were bought with a price" (ēgorasthēte timēs), underscoring the high cost of this purchase. Freedom from the Law: The more intensive term exagorazō highlights a targeted purchase designed to remove something or someone from their previous state. For example, Galatians 4:5 says Christ came to "redeem those who were under the law" (exagorazō tous hupo nomon). This signifies not just a general purchase but a deliberate act of freeing people from the curse and bondage of the Law. Lytron (λύτρον), apolytrōsis (ἀπολύτρωσις), and lytrōsis (λύτρωσις) This cluster of words emphasizes the idea of a ransom payment that brings about release. Lytron (ransom price): Lytron specifically refers to the monetary price paid to free a slave or captive. In Matthew 20:28 and Mark 10:45, Jesus says he came "to give his life as a ransom (lytron) for many," directly comparing his death to a payment made to secure the freedom of others. Apolytrōsis (completed redemption): The preposition apo is an intensifier, making apolytrōsis a "stronger form" of the word that denotes a complete and finalized liberation. This is the word used when describing the future, full redemption of believers' bodies at the resurrection (Romans 8:23) and the day of ultimate redemption (Ephesians 4:30). Lytrōsis (the experience of release): This noun refers to the deliverance or liberation that results from the payment of a ransom. Hebrews 9:12 explains that Christ "obtained eternal redemption (lytrōsis) for us". The holistic and progressive nature of redemption The deep meaning of redemption in the Greek New Testament moves beyond a simple, one-time transaction to a multi-faceted and progressive work of God. Past: An accomplished fact The price for sin has been paid through Christ's death on the cross, accomplishing a decisive and objective redemption for all believers. The sacrifice of Christ is the ultimate ransom (lytron), securing our justification and the forgiveness of sins (Romans 3:24). Present: An ongoing reality The power of redemption is at work in believers' lives, delivering them from sin's power and purifying them to be a people for God's possession (Titus 2:14). As part of this transformation, believers are no longer slaves to sin but bondservants of righteousness (Romans 6:18). Future: A complete deliverance Redemption is not yet fully realized. Believers "groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies" (Romans 8:23). The final stage of redemption will be the complete liberation from corruption and the resurrection of our bodies when Christ returns (Luke 21:28). A covenantal and communal significance Understanding the Greek word for redemption also brings with it significant implications for our relationship with God and others. A treasured possession (peripoiēsis) 1 Peter 2:9 refers to believers as "a people for his own possession (peripoiēsis)." The Greek term highlights that God did not simply purchase us to release us, but to acquire and preserve us as his treasured property. This identity echoes the Old Testament concept of Israel as God's segullah, his special, prized possession. Motivating holiness - HOLY MOTIVATION BATMAN The knowledge that we belong to God motivates believers to live holy lives and not grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). The infinite cost of our redemption, the blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18–19), calls believers to live not for themselves but for Christ.
