Acts 18: 1-28: "Ministering at Corinth." This chapter tells the story about Apollo.  Are you familiar with what is special about Apollo?  If not, come and see!  There's something here for everybody in today's Word! If you are blessed by today's Bible study, please support my channel by liking, subscribing, commenting, and sharing with your friends and family!  I am not a Pastor, and agree with God's word that women are not supposed to be Pastors.  However, all people are called to share the gospel. It is perfectly acceptable and Biblical for women to lead Bibles studies outside the church as an ancillary addition to the church, and especially if it is a viable avenue for study of the Word on a daily basis, like I'm doing on this show, and paving the way for all of us to be closer to the Lord and become more knowledgeable of the Bible.  If you care to contribute to my work with the Daily Bible study and sharing the Gospel, as part of your tithes and offerings, you can do so through PayPal by sending it to my PayPal address of: ReneHoladay@gmail.com You are also welcome to email me at the same email address above if you have any thoughts you'd like to share about this episode!    Thank you for watching and God Bless you all! ;() --------------------- The primary study bible that Rene' uses is the 'Spirit-filled Life Bible, by Jack Hayford, and is available in hard cover or faux leather on Amazon at:  https://amzn.to/434fBnQ You can watch this episode on Youtube at:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v9ekffu7ds Please be sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, and SHARE!

Lewis Crompton was a respected prophetic leader and church counselor but he was denying his sexuality. For years, he prayed, fasted, and even tried conversion therapy, desperately hoping his sexuality would change. In this conversation, Lewis shares the painful cost of hiding, the deep questions he wrestled with and how he ultimately found the courage to come out as gay.https://www.instagram.com/withlewiscrompton/

‘Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.'—1 Chronicles 23:13

Dr Tim Orr talks to Mark Powell about how to share the Gospel of Jesus with those of a Muslim faith. Dr. Orr is a scholar of Islam and an Evangelical minister, whose work emphasises the theological, historical, and sociopolitical intersections between Christianity and Islam.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE: Jesus: “What does everyone say about me?” Jesus: “Who do you think that I am?” Peter jumps in with a confession and Jesus responds with an important and controversial reply. The apostles are given access and authority. Jesus shares his future sufferings with his followers. But Peter reprimands him. Jesus responds by telling everyone that following Jesus is costly; it may even cost your life. Jesus is transfigured in front of Peter, James, and John. Jehovah God affirms his identity. Jesus casts out a demon which his apostles cannot cast out. The disciples argue among themselves about who is the greatest. Jesus teaches about humility. The disciples ask about someone throwing out demons in Jesus' name who is not a part of the group. Jesus teaches on conflict resolution.

Scripture is clear that God's people are to support widows in their time of need. Yet many struggle to know how best to minister to them in their new chapter of life. This important conversation hopes to equip deacons and other church members to care more effectively by listening well, being patient and allowing a "wide berth" following this life-altering experience.Becky's openness offers valuable insight and practical wisdom to help deacons, pastors, and church members care for widows with greater empathy and understanding.Referenced in this episode: If I Should Die (produced by David Haney)What Grieving People Wish You Knew about What Really Helps (and What Really Hurts): (And How to Avoid Being That Person Who Hurts Instead of Helps) by Nancy GuthrieHow Deacons Can Help: A Widow's AdviceBecky's Suggested Reading ListYou can find all of our episodes at thereformeddeacon.org.

Length: 5 minutes Sometimes, when people picture having a “Jesus-conversation” with someone else, they think it needs to look like a Bible study or traditional witnessing. Actually, you could be talking about any given subject with someone and still be talking about Jesus.  The more you mature in your knowledge of Jesus, the more you […]

Ministering Angels, Sacred Stewardship, and Divine Sending: Doctrine & Covenants 77–80 Unveiled with Dr. D. Todd Harrison: Jesus Christ's Apostle to All Nations and Generations and The Most-Followed LDS Religious Leader on FacebookJoin Dr. Harrison this week for his apostolic testimony exploring the rich and rarely spotlighted revelations in Doctrine and Covenants 77–80—four sections that illuminate heaven's structure and earth's preparation for the return of Jesus Christ.Viewers will discover:- In D&C 77, the Lord explains key symbolic elements in the Book of Revelation—revealing that angels minister in real time, preparing the earth for divine events.- D&C 78 introduces principles of Zion stewardship—showing how spiritual unity, economic consecration, and trust in the Lord build a holy society.- D&C 79 offers encouragement to missionaries, promising divine protection and spiritual fruit to those who preach with faith.- D&C 80 reveals the Lord's method of sending—where direction is given by the Spirit, not rigid assignment—and reassures that “you cannot go amiss” when called of God."I testify in the sacred name of Jesus Christ that the revelations recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 77 through 80 are literal—they are not symbolic, not poetic—they are declarations from the mind and mouth of God.The angels spoken of in Section 77 minister to mankind, prepare the way for the Lord's coming, and bear testimony of the Lamb who was slain and now reigns in glory. I declare that those angels are real.The Gospel is true and is alive. The priesthood has been restored. As one who has been commissioned and ordained by Jesus Christ, I declare to every nation and generation that Jesus Christ lives. That His power has returned to earth. And that His servants now stand to gather His elect and prepare a people for glory.This is the pattern. This is the moment. This is the call.In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."Dr. D.

Speaker: Richard Hamlin | Ephesians 4:29

Dr. Guy Waters is the Professor of New Testament at the Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi and a teaching elder in the Mississippi presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in America. Today, he joins us to speak about his book, One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church (Lexham Academic), in which he sets out a full-scale Reformed doctrine of the church. The title echoes the four classical “marks” confessed in the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed. This study is an extended exploration of how Scripture, read through a Reformed lens, fills out each of those creedal descriptors and binds them together into a single, coherent doctrine of the church. Dr. Waters organizes the book in three movements: Biblical Revelation (Part I). Seven chapters trace “the people of God” from creation and Eden through Abraham, Moses, the prophets, Christ and the apostles, showing that God has always had one covenant people that reaches its eschatological maturity in the new-covenant church. Doctrinal Construction (Part II). Waters treats the classic loci of ecclesiology: the church's four attributes (one, holy, catholic, apostolic); its marks (pure preaching, right sacraments, biblical discipline); its government (Christ the king, officers and courts); its worship (word, sacraments, prayer, Lord's Day); its life (gifts and discipline); and its mission (“gathering and perfecting the saints” until Christ returns) . Truth for Life and Mission (Part III). A final chapter applies the doctrine to church-state relations, defending a robust spirituality of the church and principled religious liberty. The conclusion distills the argument into seven theses that function as a theological checksum. Throughout, Waters interlaces biblical exegesis, historical theology and confessional sources (especially the Westminster Standards). The result is both an academic survey and a pastoral manifesto aimed at equipping the church for faithful witness today. The conversation explores the essential identity and mission of the church, the continuity between the Old and New Testaments, and what is distinctly new through Christ's redemptive work. Waters outlines the seven theses of his book, offering clarity on ecclesiology for today's church, particularly in light of confusion over polity, worship, and the church's relation to the state. This episode is an invitation to recover a robust, Reformed understanding of the church's nature and calling, rooted in Scripture and developed in the tradition of historic confessions.

Ministry isn't a job title—it's a way of life. In this powerful Thursday episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose unpack what it means for families to embrace ministry as both a calling and a legacy. Whether you're a family of pastors, faithful volunteers, or simply parents trying to serve Jesus through everyday moments, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to let your family's light shine brightly in the world.  Through heartfelt stories—from Rich Mullins' radical generosity to the everyday acts of preschool volunteering and neighborhood service—Rachael and Natalie illustrate that ministry can happen anywhere: around the kitchen table, in the car, at a church workday, or even in the checkout line. You'll be reminded that a Kingdom impact doesn't require a pulpit, just a posture of obedience.  You'll also hear from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay in a special Raising Godly Girls Minute that paints a picture of young girls ministering to hospital patients through simple, Spirit-led acts of compassion. It's a moving reminder that no one is too young—or too ordinary—to be used by God.  This episode dives into two vital heart postures every family can adopt: a willingness to let God multiply their influence and a readiness to make sacrifices for His Kingdom. Whether you're serving in a formal church role or quietly discipling your daughter at home, your life of faithfulness can ripple into eternity.  Scriptures Referenced:  Matthew 25:34–40 – “Whatever you did for the least of these…you did for Me.”  Proverbs 19:21 – “Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.”  Acts 1:8 – “You will be My witnesses…to the ends of the earth.”  Deuteronomy 7:9 – “He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations…”  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

Is deliverance enough? In any journey of spiritual freedom, deliverance is often viewed as a quick fix, but true liberation requires much more than a "quicky deliverance" session! It's essential to understand that while casting out demons is a vital step, it is not the end-all of the multi-layered and complicated process of releasing strongholds. Healing and ministering to an individual, with gentleness, plays a crucial role in your transformative journey. Without addressing the deep-rooted wounds and trauma within a wounded soul, individuals may find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of recurring patterns. Embrace the wisdom that healing is just as important as deliverance. Allow yourself the grace and time to confront and heal from the past without judgment!

The children on missionaries are ofter referred to as TCKs. They don't completely fit in their stateside culture, nor do they fit in their home (overseas) culture. They exist in a third reality that is made up of both cultures combined. That is why we refer to these kids as Third Culture Kids. Ann Bowman has third culture grandkids and has seen the ways that their experiences abroad and on furlough have shaped them to be unique in so many ways. Join us as Ann talks about ways that we all can minister to these very special kiddos.https://www.tcktraining.com/coursesAnn's Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLYQ5Z99?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_74V3YDAP3TC17FNT61N3&skipTwisterOG=1&bestFormat=true&newOGT=1Ann's Website: https://neversignedup.com

How are you abiding in Christ and seeking God in business and life?In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Randy discuss: Following through on what you start.Being intentional about your faith in business.Ministering to your employees and your clients.Let God show you your priorities.  Key Takeaways: Discover how God has made you. The more you can cooperate and develop that, the more the magic will happen.There is power in giving people a hand up, not just a handout.Consider tithing your time - designate some of your hours as intentional time with God or with the ministry for His Kingdom.God's calling and God's timing are often different.  "If you're sensing God's calling you to something, listen to that and start pursuing that, start preparing for that. Ensure it's from God and that He wants you to do that, and what your role is, then what the timing is." —  Randy Price About Randy Price: Randy and Susan Price opened Right at Home in March of 2009 after they saw the fast-growing care needs of seniors in Northeast Texas.

He's joined by Mr. Rob Guss, an elder at Calvary OPC in Glenside, Pennsylvania, who shares his powerful testimony of God's grace in delivering him from addiction.Addiction brings with it deep brokenness. It can consume a family's resources and, when discovered, often brings added pressure to the household—resulting in broken relationships, sadness, confusion, and other diaconal needs. This conversation hopes to equip deacons to better understand how to walk alongside those caught in addiction—emphasizing the importance of presence, listening, and long-term counsel. A practical case study at the end offers a real-world scenario, guiding deacons through how to respond when someone confesses a struggle with addiction. The episode reminds listeners that while the path may be long and difficult, deacons are privileged to come alongside those suffering with lasting hope through the love of Christ.Referenced in this episode:Flesh and Thorn: Understanding Addiction as Disease Dr. James Berry; Ordained Servant June-July 2018You can find all of our episodes at thereformeddeacon.org.

Ministering assignments in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are made so that all members of the Church are remembered and cared for in ways similar to how Jesus Christ blessed those around Him. In this episode of the Church News podcast, Church News reporter Mary Richards is joined by Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson and Elder Robert M. Daines, a General Authority Seventy, to discuss how ministering is a vital way to help accomplish the work of salvation and exaltation — and how Saints can grow in their confidence before the Lord to become more like Him as they fulfill these assignments. The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Between 2020 and 2023, over 400,000 Americans died drug-related deaths, with another 560,000 succumbing to deaths related to alcohol. The statistics are just as bad in Scotland. For the past eight years, Hope for Addiction UK has been seeking to make a difference in this arena. In this breakout session, Terry McCutcheon shares what the organization has been doing and learning as it seeks to minister in a culture of addiction.

When someone you love is in a mental health crisis, what do you say? How do you show up without panicking or trying to fix it all?In this episode, Corrine and Neil talk through one of the most tender and difficult questions they've ever received: “What do you say to someone who says they're done?”—a phrase that often signals deep emotional pain or even suicidal thoughts.Drawing from principles of recovery, their own personal experiences, and their faith in Jesus Christ, Corrine and Neil explore how to truly support someone who feels like they've reached their breaking point. They offer practical tools—like the ACT method (Ask, Care, Tell)—and compassionate reminders that presence matters far more than having the perfect words.They discuss what emotional distress really feels like, how to sit with someone in that darkness without trying to rush them out of it, and why sometimes, saying “just breathe” is more powerful than trying to fix anything. You'll also hear a thoughtful conversation on the difference between helping someone and trying to control the outcome, and how to lean into faith when everything feels out of your hands.Whether you're trying to support someone dealing with suicidal ideation or you're seeking peace in your own struggle, this conversation is a gentle and faith-filled place to begin.Supporting Resources:How to Help Someone in Crisis - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/suicide-how-to-help/how-to-help-someone-in-crisis?lang=engSuicide Prevention and Ministering - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/get-help/suicide?lang=engGive Us This Day Our Daily Bread by Elder D.
