Recent government hearings have made UFOs and aliens front-page news, and now a Catholic priest says he'd baptize extraterrestrials if asked. But I think before agreeing so quickly to the idea, this priest needs to be asking some really big theological and spiritual questions.SERMON TRANSCRIPT…https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-alienbaptismWeird Darkness® and Church Of The Undead™ are trademarked.

In Luke 8, we encounter a woman who had been suffering for twelve long years with a relentless illness—bleeding that never stopped. Day after day, it was a constant burden, a painful reminder of her struggle. She searched for answers everywhere—within herself, from doctors, and from those around her—but nothing could bring relief. Yet in a single moment, everything changed. The moment she encountered Jesus, her story was rewritten. Instantly, what had defined her for years no longer had power over her. She was no longer known by her bleeding; she was known by her healing. And the same is true for us today—when we recognize our desperate need for Jesus above all else, the subject of our lives shifts. Who we were is no longer the story; the testimony of what Jesus has brought us through becomes the defining theme of our lives.

In Luke 8:22-25, the disciples followed Jesus into the boat, and a storm hit them out of nowhere—bigger than anything they could handle on their own. Isn't that life? Problems show up suddenly, pressures rise, and we realize we don't have the power to fix it. But here's the truth: before the storm ever started, Jesus had already given the answer—“Let's go to the other side.” If He said it, He'll see it through. The storm may be bigger than you, but it's not bigger than Him.
This week Nic brings us a message based on James 4: 10-12. He explains that we as a church are called to unity, not uniformity. We need biblical humility in knowing who we are in Jesus, beloved forgiven children of God and flawed people. It is from this posture that we can engage with different opinions. Nic provides some great insights including: The way we tackle difficult issues is important Jesus came to fulfill the law, he is our atonement. He both contracts and expands the law giving us the greatest commandment, loving the Lord your God with all your heart and love your neighbour as you love yourself. If you wish to jump straight to the message it starts at: 10:45 Follow along each week of the GRIT series:
In Mark 9:21–29, we meet a father who desperately wanted to see his son healed but carried doubts after repeated disappointment. He had already tried everything and even watched Jesus' disciples fail to bring deliverance, so when he turned to Jesus, all he could say was, “If You can.” And honestly, who could blame him? But while others couldn't, Jesus could—and He did. Many of us know what it feels like to face situations that seem impossible, ones we've tried to fix on our own but couldn't. The truth is, without Jesus, it really is impossible. But with Jesus, the story isn't finished. No matter how hopeless it seems, it's not over yet.

This message unpacks what it truly means to be a Christian—more than a title, it is a supernatural encounter with God that brings new birth, repentance, and transformation from within. Through Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, we see that to follow Christ is to be born of the Spirit, given a new heart, and made alive to God's kingdom. Christians belong to Christ, living as people of His kingdom, which is not political or geographical but spiritual and present wherever Jesus reigns in hearts. The name “Christian” should reflect holiness, devotion, and Christlikeness, as our lives bear witness to the reality of God's rule within us. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In this message from Isaiah 64:1-7, we explore a powerful post-exilic prayer of lament from a weary and spiritually discouraged people longing for God's presence. Surrounded by ruins, wrestling with sin, and desperate for renewal, Judah's cry reveals both their brokenness and their deep desire for God to move as He had in the past. This sermon challenges us to examine the distractions and idols that dull our hunger for God and calls us to aggressively “lay hold” of eternal life with focused resolve (1 Timothy 6:11-12). In seasons of transition and spiritual dryness, desperation for Jesus is not weakness but an act of faith. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

The sermon emphasizes the absolute necessity of Jesus Christ for salvation and for a flourishing individual and societal existence. Drawing from John 14:6 and passages in Colossians, Ephesians, and Romans, it asserts that Jesus is not merely a guide or teacher, but the sole way to the Father, the embodiment of truth, and the source of life itself. Rejecting the notion of multiple paths to God, the message underscores the exclusive nature of Christ's role, warning against the consequences of rejecting Him and calling for proactive evangelism to share the Gospel, as a darkened world desperately needs the light of Christ.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”Ephesians 6:12

Do Jews need Jesus? It's an age-old debate with eternal ramifications. If Jesus is not the Jewish Messiah, if He is not the savior of the world, if He is not the promised redeemer God sent to restore Israel and redeem the nations (Isaiah 49:6), then bringing His message to the Jewish people is a grave threat to their security. Join us as Avi Synder teaches us that believing in Jesus isn't apostasy; it's obedience, and it leads to eternal blessing.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to levels 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation. In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "Why We Need Jesus", taught by Luke Pollock. In a culture that prizes self-reliance, needing someone is often seen as a weakness. But our very abilities, strength, and identity come from our Creator. Without Him, we have nothing and independence is an illusion. Like a child who fully depends on a parent, we too must learn to depend on Jesus. Admitting our need for Him isn't weakness, it's the beginning growth and maturity. What would change in your life if you lived like you truly needed Jesus every day? If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, email us at info@transformationschool.org
In this episode of "Walking with God, Pat and Jeff's Podcast" we ask the question, "Do we really need Jesus?" You probably already know the answer, but many people in our world are unsure and many do not see any need for Jesus. To us the answer is clear. Note: The opinions expressed in this podcast are those of Pat Barry and Jeff Quinto and may not reflect the opinions of the Bethel Bible Series or Bethel Lutheran Church. Blessings in Christ, Pat & Jeff Soli Deo Gloria!

1 Corinthians 15:33-34 GNTDo not be fooled (deceived, led astray, wander from truth). ” Bad companions ruin good character. [34] Come back to your right senses and stop your sinful ways. I declare to your shame that some of you do not know God” (if you deny the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, you do not know God. You need to receive Jesus as Lord).
It's Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is at Georgia Tech to talk with students about faith, morality, and the Gospel. Todd emphasizes Christian teachings, using questions to explore concepts of creation, evil, conscience, and salvation through Jesus Christ. Segment 1: • Jose, a mechanical engineering student, wonders how the universe began—leans toward random chance. • Todd argues design demands a Designer, comparing creation to Jose's sesame chicken. • Jose admits he's agnostic but open—he wants “proof” before accepting a Creator. Segment 2: • Todd walks Jose walks through the Ten Commandments and Jose admits guilt, agreeing he'd be judged guilty. • Todd presents the gospel: Jesus took Jose's punishment, offering forgiveness through repentance and faith. • Jose is intrigued but unsure, doubting whether humans can truly know what's true. Segment 3: • Robert identifies as Machiavellian, believes people are mostly good despite moral failures. • Todd highlights Robert's sin (e.g. 5,000 lustful thoughts), arguing goodness isn't enough. • Robert believes Jesus died for sinners but hasn't repented—he admits it's worth pondering. Segment 4: • Student asks: “What's the point of life?” Claims moral living is enough without religion. • Admits to sin but believes intentions and regret soften the guilt. • Todd explains the gospel and challenges him to investigate if it's true—eternity is at stake. – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!

The Church at Colossae was spiritually healthy. They were doing well. But that didn't stop the apostle Paul from writing to them about Jesus. Because everybody needs Jesus – both the spiritually sick, and the spiritually healthy.

President Trump has made a couple of good nominations. One of them is horrendously bad. But we also need to talk about this conversation that Joe Rogan had with Marc Andreessen. Marc Andreessen has been a Democrat for many years, and when he saw what they had become, he changed.Episode Links:Marc Andressen Just blew Joe Rogan's Mind with Something Most of Us KnowIssue: Whether Tennessee Senate Bill 1, which prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow “a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex” or to treat “purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity,” violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.“If you want to have a s*x change or social justice seminar, then you can do it somewhere else, but you're not going to do it in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Space Force, or the United States Marines!” - Trump
