Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comI Corinthians 10Israel's history serves as a cautionary tale for Christians. Despite experiencing God's blessings and deliverance, many Israelites fell into idolatry and immorality, leading to judgment. Paul urges the Corinthians to avoid similar pitfalls, warning against overconfidence and reminding them that no temptation is beyond God's help. He promises that God will provide a way of escape in every trial. Believers are encouraged to be mindful of their choices, particularly concerning eating food sacrificed to idols, and prioritizing the spiritual needs of others. Convictions of conscience hold great importance to God, and Christians must honor their own while also being considerate of others. Ultimately, Paul calls on them to do everything for God's glory, avoiding offense and seeking to build up others in faith through the demonstration of Christ's selfless love.Just as Israel crossed the Red Sea, we have been freed from bondage through the waters of baptism. Our leader is Jesus, who is greater than Moses. He is our source of spiritual nourishment and sustenance. However, like Israel, we can lose our deep relationship with God if we succumb to idolatry, immorality, or a lack of trust in the Lord. We must remain humble, reliant on God, and confident that He will strengthen us during times of temptation. God's people must move forward in faith together. Sharing in the Lord means we are all on this journey as one body. We must be patient, considerate of each other's conscience and needs, and devoted to helping one another stay saved. Eternal God, we know You led Israel out of slavery and toward the land of promise. We have read how many lost focus and succumbed to the impulses of the flesh, failing to receive the reward. Help us resist those temptations, support one another, and humbly rely on Your faithfulness to keep us strong. We vow to flee idolatry and dedicate our lives to You and Your people. Please help us cultivate the humility needed to deny ourselves and serve fellow believers. Guide us to do all things to glorify You and assist others in finding salvation in You. Thought Questions: -       Why did so many Israelites fall in the wilderness after being saved by God? What do you learn from their tragic example? -       “Let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.” Why is pride so dangerous when it comes to facing the temptation to sin? -       In consideration of their neighbor, some did not eat certain meats. What liberties would you be willing to forfeit for the sake of Christians?

This message centered on God's steadfast love and faithfulness, calling believers to trust in His plan, walk in the light of Christ, and embrace divine counsel. Through Scripture, prayer, and discussion, we explored the richness of reconciliation through Christ, the power of thankfulness, and the necessity of spiritual growth. Participants reflected on how God's unchanging nature brings clarity and peace, even when life feels uncertain. The session concluded with prayer, interceding for loved ones and resting in the assurance of God's care.

This is the sixth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Why is there such a stark contrast between the worldview of the believer and that of the unbeliever? This lesson addresses the theological concept of the antithesis—the fundamental spiritual divide between those in Christ and those outside of him. You will learn how this distinction, rooted in covenant representation and union with Christ, shapes every aspect of life and apologetic engagement. By understanding the nature of regeneration, resurrection life, and our new identity in Christ, we are better prepared to witness to the truth with clarity and conviction, while holding fast to the hope of God's redemptive purpose for his people. 01:13 The Fundamental Distinction between Believers and Unbelievers 04:31 Covenantal Representation 09:25 The Resurrection 20:18 The New Identity in Christ 29:23 Living Out Our Union with Christ 32:10 Summary and Conclusion  Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to glorify God with your body? In a world of distorted freedom and personal truth, this message from 1 Corinthians 6 offers a bold, beautiful vision of sex, identity, and the sacredness of our bodies.-------In 1 Corinthians 6:12–20, Paul confronts the Corinthian church's confusion about sexuality, freedom, and the human body. Surrounded by a culture steeped in immorality, these early believers needed a fresh understanding of what it meant to glorify God with their bodies. This sermon explores Paul's warning against twisting Christian liberty, rationalizing sin, and misusing what God calls sacred. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and purchased at a high price. Believers are called to flee sexual immorality, not just avoid it, and live into their redeemed identity. Because in Christ, our freedom isn't for self-indulgence, but for a sacred purpose.HOME | PLAN YOUR VISIT | BLOG | DIGITAL BULLETIN

The name "Jehovah Jireh" translates into "The Lord Will Provide." This name is found in the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, where God provides a ram as a substitute sacrifice, demonstrating His provision in a moment of ultimate need and obedience. God's provision is often linked to our trust and obedience, and while God may not always provide how or when we expect, He is always faithful to meet our needs according to His divine plan. Believers are encouraged to trust God as their provider in all circumstances, knowing that He sees and supplies beyond what we can anticipate.

Message: Gods Great Blessings for Believers Songs: My Sins are Gone; Near the Cross; Revival Tonight Host: Dennis Campbell, President/CEO MissionGO The post Rev. George Fransisco – Gods Great Blessings for Believers appeared first on MGO Radio/Canada's National Bible Hour.

"Judgment, Restoration, and the Reign to Come”

This message centered on the threat of Gnosticism, legalism, and spiritual deception that seek to draw believers away from intimacy with Christ. We examined how the early church combated these influences by holding fast to the truth of Christ's humanity, divinity, and finished work on the cross. Emphasis was placed on the essential role of the local church in maintaining spiritual health, protection, and fellowship. Believers were encouraged to remain grounded in love, to resist self-effort, and to trust God's guidance within the local assembly.

This message explored the biblical foundation of peace in Christ, emphasizing how believers receive peace through propitiation, reconciliation, and their position in Christ. The group examined how this peace—though already secured—can be obscured by the enemy's attacks on identity, truth, and experience. Personal testimonies underscored how God's love pursues His people and how obedience not only anchors individuals but also impacts the broader community. The conversation concluded with a reminder of the peace Christ gives amid tribulation and the call to remain rooted in Him.

The group gathered to hear a message on God's grace, peace, and unity in the body of Christ. He warned against divisions and shared a vivid illustration about cows huddling for protection to emphasize dependence on God rather than self-vindication. The session featured a sermon on spiritual warfare and the importance of trusting God's timing, grace, and provision. Reflections on personal faith, spiritual maturity, and corporate growth followed, and the meeting concluded with heartfelt prayers for those facing illness and adversity.God's grace and peace are foundational for Christian unity (1 Corinthians 1)Believers are called to avoid factions and rest in Christ's vindication, not their ownIllustration of cows huddling together emphasized spiritual protection through unityTrusting in God's grace is essential during spiritual warfareWaiting on God's timing shows reliance on His strength, not human effortBelievers are urged to forget past pain and cling to God's mercyPersonal faith is essential; corporate maturity follows individual transformationParallels drawn from Joshua and Caleb show how few walked in full beliefGroup reflects on personal experiences and Scripture applicationsPrayers offered for individuals with health issues and those being drawn to ChristPrayer focused on God's love, healing, guidance, and spiritual enduranceKey Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 1, Isaiah 30 18, Isaiah 49 23, Job 11 16, Matthew 18 20, Ephesians 1–4

Ensure you surround yourself with faithful Believers who motivate you to do good work, and beware of the disorderly Christians in the church.

“Jesus came and told his disciples, ‘I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” (Matthew 28:18–20 NLT) One thing many believers and nonbelievers have in common is that both are very uptight about evangelism. Believers are uptight about evangelizing, and nonbelievers are uptight about being evangelized. Maybe you remember someone sharing the gospel with you when you really didn’t want to hear it. Or maybe you know what it’s like to share with someone who had no interest in what you were saying. If you’re new to the Christian faith, you may have recent memories of both scenarios. As intimidating or uncomfortable as sharing your faith may be, it’s something every believer has been called to do. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 10:14, “But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?” (NLT). There’s no arguing with his logic. Jesus left marching orders for everyone who follows Him: “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone” (Mark 16:15 NLT). In the original language, this verse could be translated to say, “I command you to go into all the world.” That’s why we call it the Great Commission and not the Great Suggestion. It’s an order from our Commander-in-Chief. If we’re faithful followers of Jesus, then we need to make the attempt. We need to do what we can to share His message. The when, where, and how are up to us (to a certain extent). Evangelism strategies are like fingerprints and snowflakes. No two are exactly alike. That’s because no two experiences with Jesus are exactly alike. In John 9, Jesus healed a man who had been born blind. When the Jewish religious leaders interrogated the man, hoping to get him to change his story, he said, “I know this: I was blind, and now I can see” (verse 25 NLT). That’s what evangelism is: telling others what we know about Jesus, what He’s done for us. It’s the logical next step after receiving Christ: telling others how to do it, too. When you start to tell others about Christ, you’ll discover something amazing: For every lock, there is a key. Your story, your experience, your specific approach to sharing the gospel may succeed where others have failed. You may be able to reach people whom others cannot. That’s why God wants to work through you. He wants to use your unique experience to reach others for Him. Will you be open to His guidance and direction? Will you be available? The opportunities are plentiful. But it’s up to you to seize them. Reflection question: How would you describe your approach to sharing your faith?

Israel's Future Revealed: Tribes, Trials, and TriumphThis episode explores Israel's prophetic timeline, from the twelve tribes foretold in Genesis 49 to end-time tribulations, conflicts, and the millennial reign of Christ. Biblical prophecies are seen and explain current events and future judgments concerning Israel, emphasizing the nation's premature repatriation, coming hardships, and the global implications of its rejection of Christ. Believers are urged to understand these prophetic truths, rest in Christ, and recognize that the Church will be raptured before the great tribulation.

#610 Your Real Bloodline, Devotional Life with Paul and Jeanne

Test the Spirits (Verses 1–6): Believers are warned not to believe every spirit but to test them to see whether they are from God. A true spirit acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Those who deny this are not from God but from the spirit of the antichrist. 2.God Is Love (Verses 7–21): The second half of the chapter emphasizes that love is the defining mark of God's children. If we truly know God, we will love others—because God is love. •God showed His love by sending His Son to die for our sins. •If God loves us that much, we should also love one another. •Perfect love casts out fear—especially fear of punishment—because love involves trust and intimacy with God. •If someone says, “I love God,” but hates their brother or sister, they are lying.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Across political, social, and spiritual spheres, humanity faces a reckoning with the structures of power that shape our world—and the urgent need to turn from putting our faith in unreliable actors in favor of putting our faith in ourselves and responding to oppression with collective action.The recent acquittal of the police officer killers of Tyre Nichols, Donald Trump's continued assaults on both international institutions and domestic democratic norms, and the rising threat of regional international wars are all points of entry for deeper reflection on the meaning of collective human purpose—focusing on broad movements for liberating social change despite the constant noise of daily events. Against this backdrop, the selection of Pope Leo XIV (Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost) as the leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics raises a pressing question: How can moments that command the attention of billions signal a renewed call to renegotiate the foundations of the modern world order?At this critical juncture—amid the accelerating decline of the Age of Europe and White World Supremacy and the emergence of truly multipolar global relationships—even faith, whether in the divine or in each other, can feel insufficient. But history reminds us that, while individuals alone cannot dismantle entrenched institutions, people acting together can. As U.S. courts begin to challenge the most flagrantly illegal acts of federalized white nationalism, and as institutions such as markets and universities resist authoritarian pressure, more and more people are turning to the most potent force in any society: collective action. Whether through town halls, protests, or civil disobedience, communities are rising up.As this commencement season—a time of hope and renewal—unfolds, we are reminded of a timeless truth: belief must be made real through action.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this sermon, Pastor Kody expounds the biblical sexual ethic that the Christian's body belongs to God so we must use it for God's glory.

Introduction      The study of angels, Satan, and demons matters to the Christian because it opens our eyes to the unseen spiritual realities that shape the visible world in which we live. It helps us understand our place in God's unfolding plan for humanity so that we may walk wisely in a fallen world.      Holy angels are created spiritual beings—intelligent, powerful, immortal, and organized for divine service. They are active participants in God's plan, protecting believers (Psa 91:11), executing judgment (2 Kgs 19:35), delivering messages (Luke 1:26-38), and even observing our lives (1 Cor 4:9; 1 Pet 1:12). God employs them to support His purposes and to assist His people in executing His will.      But there are spiritual dangers—unseen enemies who defy God, oppose His purposes, and seek to harm those who belong to Him and strive to do His will. We often assume our struggles are rooted in the material world, but Scripture reveals otherwise: “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Eph 6:12). Satan is a real, cunning, and malicious being with a long history of opposing God, attacking truth, and deceiving humanity (John 8:44; 2 Cor 4:4). His primary strategy is deception—twisting truth just enough to make the lie believable (Gen 3:1-5). He infiltrates thought patterns, manipulates culture, promotes false religion, and targets believers' minds to sow doubt, fear, bitterness, and pride. Demons assist him in this agenda—promoting false doctrine (1 Tim 4:1), afflicting individuals (Mark 5:1-20), and energizing unbelievers to walk in darkness (Eph 2:2).      As Christians, we are not called to bind demons, rebuke Satan, or engage in mystical confrontations. Rather, we are commanded to resist him by standing firm in the truth, wearing the full armor of God, and remaining grounded in the gospel (Eph 6:10-18; Jam 4:7). Spiritual warfare is not won by shouting louder, but by thinking biblically, praying dependently, living obediently, and walking faithfully in God's will. Knowing that Satan is a defeated enemy—on a leash and headed for eternal judgment—gives us confidence, not fear (Col 2:15; Rev 20:10).      Most importantly, this doctrine drives us back to the gospel. All people are born into Satan's domain of darkness (Col 1:13), but through faith in Christ, we are transferred into His kingdom, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and forever safe from demonic possession and eternal condemnation (Eph 1:13-14; John 10:28). Though spiritual conflict continues, it is not a battle for salvation, but for sanctification, testimony, and eternal reward (1 Cor 3:12-15). And in that battle, God has not left us unequipped or alone. His Word is our weapon, His Spirit our strength, and His Son our victory.      In short, the study of angels, Satan, and demons matters because it's true, it's biblical, and it's intensely practical. To ignore it is to be spiritually naïve. To understand it is to be spiritually alert—walking with eyes wide open, armor on, heart steady, and hope anchored in the triumph of Christ. Angelology      Angels are spiritual beings created by God before the foundation of the world (Job 38:6-7; Col 1:16). The Hebrew word for angel is malʾāk, meaning “messenger,” and the Greek equivalent is angelos, also meaning “messenger.” These terms refer not to the nature of the being but to their function—agents who carry out God's directives. Angels are entirely distinct from humans and are never said to become human or vice versa (Heb 1:14; 2:16). They are intelligent (Matt 28:5-6), powerful (Psa 103:20; 2 Th 1:7), and immortal (Luke 20:36). They are innumerable (Heb 12:22; Rev 5:11) and are organized into ranks and classifications, such as cherubim (Gen 3:24; Ex 25:20), seraphim (Isa 6:2-3), and archangels (1 Th 4:16; Jude 1:9; cf. Dan 10:13; 21; 12:1). Despite their might and glory, they are not to be worshiped (Rev 22:8-9). Their loyalty is divided: some remained holy and serve the Lord (Mark 8:38), while others rebelled and now oppose His purposes (2 Pet 2:4; Rev 12:4, 9).      Holy angels function as God's messengers and ministers. They worship Him perpetually (Isa 6:3; Rev 4:8), carry out His judgments (Gen 19:12-13; Acts 12:23), and minister to believers (Heb 1:14). They have mediated divine revelation (Acts 7:53; Gal 3:19), protected God's people (Psa 34:7; Dan 6:22), and executed His will in historical events (Ex 12:23; 2 Kgs 19:35). For example, an angel shut the mouths of lions to preserve Daniel (Dan 6:22), and an angel released Peter from prison (Acts 12:7-10). Angels also play a key role in the return of Christ, accompanying Him in glory and executing divine wrath upon the earth (Matt 24:31; 2 Th 1:7-9; Rev 7:1-2; 16:1). Though invisible to the human eye under normal circumstances, they may appear in human form when necessary (Gen 18:2; Heb 13:2), always in submission to God's purposes and plans.      Importantly, believers today are to understand angels as ministers within God's providential order, not as sources of new revelation or mystical experiences (Col 2:18). The modern fascination with angels often drifts into dangerous sentimentalism or superstition, untethered from Scripture. But Scripture reminds us that angels observe our lives (1 Cor 4:9; 1 Pet 1:12), rejoice when sinners repent (Luke 15:10), and will one day gather the elect for Christ's kingdom (Matt 13:39-41; 24:31). Yet they remain behind the scenes, pointing not to themselves, but to the glory of God. Believers are never told to command, summon, or pray to angels. Instead, we rest in the knowledge that God's angelic servants are real, active, and aligned with His loving care and justice. Their presence reminds us of the unseen reality of spiritual warfare, divine oversight, and the majesty of the God they serve (Psa 91:11; Dan 10:12-13; Rev 5:11-12). Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.

In this episode of the Biblical Counseling Podcast, Jeff Christianson shares a heartfelt reminder that every follower of Jesus is called to serve and to be equipped for that service, especially in areas like counseling and discipleship. He reflects on Ephesians 4:11 12, where it says God gave certain leaders apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastor-teachers not to do all the ministry themselves, but to equip all believers for the work of ministry. That means it's not just for pastors or full-time workers; every Christian has a role. Jeff encourages listeners to keep growing, whether through formal training, personal study, or learning from trusted mentors. But it's not just about learning facts, it's about growing closer to Jesus and helping others do the same. Throughout the episode, he points to Scriptures like Romans 14:19, Romans 15:2, and 1 Thessalonians 5:11, which call us to build each other up, comfort one another, and grow together in our faith. The message is clear and encouraging: ministry isn't just for a few, it's for all of us. And God gives us what we need to serve Him well.

Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley unpacks the challenging theological argument Paul makes in Romans 3:1-8. He begins by exploring the question, “What advantage is there to being a Jew?” Paul acknowledges the Jews' privileged status as recipients of God's oracles, the trustworthy Scriptures, and the covenant people through whom Christ would come. However, Paul also confronts objections regarding human unfaithfulness and God's righteousness. If many Jews are unfaithful, does that mean God is unfaithful? Paul emphatically denies this, asserting that God's faithfulness stands firm even when humans fail. Dr. Easley outlines four key objections Paul addresses: the significance of religion, faithfulness, righteousness, and truth. Some argue that human unrighteousness somehow glorifies God's righteousness, or that sinning more might enhance God's glory. Paul condemns such thinking as blasphemous and dangerous. The heart of the message is that God's righteousness and faithfulness are unchanging, regardless of human failure. Believers today hold the same “oracles of God” in Scripture and in Christ, entrusted with a living Word that calls for faithful response. Dr. Easley challenges listeners to cherish and live out this divine trust faithfully. Takeaways: God entrusted the Jews with His oracles, giving them great religious advantage. Human unfaithfulness never negates God's perfect faithfulness. God's righteousness remains true even when humans are unrighteous. Sinning cannot be justified as a means to glorify God—it is condemned. The gospel reveals the mystery of how God declares sinners righteous in Christ. Believers today are entrusted with the living Word of God, calling for faithful stewardship. To read the book of Romans, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

Message Summary (by OpenAI) Title: “Lord, Teach Us to Pray – Part Two: Kingdom, Power, and Glory Forever” Speaker: Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Main Text: Luke 11:1 | Matthew 6:9–13 Introduction Dr. Bryan Hudson continues his teaching series based on the Disciples' request to Jesus in Luke 11:1, “Lord, teach us to pray.” The message narrows in on the concluding phrase of what is commonly known as the Lord's Prayer: “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:13) Rather than a line to recite, this statement is a declaration of divine ownership, authority, and purpose. Dr. Hudson emphasizes that believers are called not only to pray this truth, but to live in it, sustain it, and ultimately become kingdom. I. Immersed in the Kingdom of God Not just experiencing the Kingdom — Believers are called to become Kingdom. Like language immersion makes one fluent, immersion in God's ways makes believers fluent in the Kingdom. Jesus taught us to prioritize God's reign: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”(Matthew 6:33) Key Statement: “If you seek the Kingdom, things will find you. You don't have to chase after blessings.” II. How to Sustain God's Kingdom, Power, and Glory in Your Life Dr. Hudson identifies four foundational principles that sustain a life infused with God's presence and purpose: 1. Faith in God Trusting God's character and promises. Root of spiritual stability and resilience. 2. Prayer Ongoing, intentional communication with God. Modeled by Jesus and commanded to His disciples. 3. Quality Decisions Definition: A decision made with clarity, alignment to God's Word, with no retreat. Quality decisions reflect maturity and purpose. They allow believers to move forward without being hindered by past mistakes. Examples of Quality Decisions: Moses choosing to suffer with God's people (Hebrews 11). Ruth choosing loyalty to Naomi, leading to her place in Jesus' lineage. Jesus choosing God's will over His own in Gethsemane. Examples of Poor Decisions: Esau trading his birthright for temporary satisfaction. Saul disobeying God and offering unauthorized sacrifices. Judas betraying Jesus. 4. Agreement The power of walking in unity with others in purpose and direction. Dr. Hudson explains Amos 3:3 as “agreement to walk together,” not “agreement on everything.” True agreement requires shared purpose and relational unity, not identical opinions. III. The Power of Agreement A. Biblical Agreement Matthew 18:19–20: Jesus promises to be present where two or three are gathered in His name. Agreement brings authority: binding and loosing — declaring what is proper or improper according to God's will. Agreement leads to divine presence and intervention. B. Misused Agreement: Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) The people were united, speaking one language, and agreed to build a tower to glorify themselves. God intervened by confusing their language, breaking their agreement, because: They were united in self-exaltation. The principle of agreement was valid, but the purpose was wrong. Key Insight: “Right principle, wrong people, wrong purpose.” IV. Biblical Unity and Corporate Purpose A. 1 Corinthians 3:9 “For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building.” Without agreement in purpose and practice, there is no fruitful ministry. The church must function in unity, not uniformity. B. Psalm 133 Unity is compared to oil flowing from the head of Aaron — symbolizing divine blessing and anointing. Unity is the place of commanded blessing. V. Application to Life and Ministry A. In Marriage and Relationships Agreement doesn't require total sameness, but commitment to shared purpose. Dr. Hudson uses humorous examples from his marriage to illustrate mutual compromise and unity. B. In Church Life God's power is available, but we must come into agreement and unity to access it. No agreement = No blessing. The power and glory of God are not “awaited” — they are present and available when we are aligned with His kingdom. VI. Confession of Faith, Unity, and Purpose The sermon concluded with a corporate confession, reinforcing the message's themes. Believers affirmed that they: Walk in purpose Live in divine power Make quality decisions Serve with unity Are becoming “kingdom” through immersion in God's ways Are fellow workers, fields, and buildings of God “Forever starts today.” Agreement with God and one another allows believers to experience His kingdom, power, and glory in their lives now, not only in eternity. Final Charge and Prayer Summit Invitation Pastor Hudson invited the church to a corporate prayer summit, underscoring the importance of gathering in agreementas a church body. He exhorted believers to show up physically, not just spiritually, emphasizing that God is waiting on us, not the other way around.

Step into a Wesleyan church on any given Sunday, and you might hear a Charles Wesley hymn followed by a modern worship chorus. In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Bob Black, we explore how this fusion of tradition and modernity reflects the church's core convictions. You'll learn how Wesleyans approach grace, baptism, communion, leadership, and what it means to pursue holiness today.

Believers are called to follow Christ's example, who bore the world's reproach for the sake of the weak. This mindset reflects God's call for Christians to extend fellowship, love, and acceptance to one another, just as Christ has welcomed them despite their flaws. God's desire is to fill His people with joy, peace, and hope together through the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul begins to conclude his letter by discussing his mission to preach to the Gentiles and his plan to visit Rome after delivering contributions to the poor saints in Jerusalem. He urges believers to unite in prayer for his ministry and for success in spreading the gospel. Christianity is a unique journey. In a world where people often pursue their own desires and show little patience for differing views, God's people find opportunities for unity even among conflicting convictions. We take these moments to practice patience and make concessions when possible, assisting fellow believers in growing their faith. We are humbled by the awareness of Christ's sacrifices made for our benefit. Together, we turn to Christ and His gospel to stand firm on the absolute truths that bind us. Our boasting is in God and His love, not in our own knowledge or perfect understanding. This nurtures joy and peace in our fellowship and inspires us to be mindful of each other's physical and spiritual needs.  Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word, which provides us with hope, encouragement, and guidance. Help us to follow Christ's example of selflessness by bearing with others in love and putting their needs above our own. Teach us to live in harmony with fellow believers, glorifying You with one voice. Fill us with joy and peace as we trust in You, so that we may overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Strengthen us to support Your work of spreading the gospel through our prayers and acts of mercy as we share the goodness of Jesus with others.   Thought Questions: -       What does it mean to “bear the weaknesses of those without strength”? How have you done that with regard to issues among fellow Christians? -       Verse 14 says that Christians can “admonish one another.” What does that mean and how do you do that while also bearing with a brother? -       Gentile Christians sent funds to help poor Jewish saints in Jerusalem. How should Christians today be active in helping needy brethren far away? 

Today, we're diving into the theological debate surrounding infant baptism, exploring the perspectives of paedobaptism versus credobaptism. We examine the arguments for infant baptism, practiced by Catholics and some Protestants (such as Presbyterians), and the Catholic belief that it washes away original sin. We also unpack the credobaptist position, held by Baptists and many non-denominational churches, which emphasizes believers' baptism as an outward sign of inward faith, rooted in New Testament examples like Jesus' immersion baptism. We'll look at key scriptures, historical church practices, and the reasoning behind both views and give our thoughts on what we believe to be true.
