Some worries rise without warning. Some questions return even when I thought they had settled. Some emotions swirl like an unseen storm. “Eu clamo ao Senhor, e Ele me responde.” Let this truth echo through the places that feel unsettled. You hear me when I call. You draw near when my voice trembles. You understand even the cries I cannot put into words. Hold my spirit gently tonight, Jesus, and calm what feels restless within me. Your word invites me to come with confidence to the throne of grace. “Posso me aproximar do Teu trono com confiança.” Not because I feel strong, but because You welcome me in weakness, uncertainty, and fear. When my thoughts tighten, loosen them with Your peace. When my heart feels heavy, lift it with Your nearness. When my emotions rise like waves, speak stillness over them. A Tua graça me envolve e me sustenta. Let this evening become a place where Your peace settles deeper than any anxiety. Jesus, I bring You the storm within—the tension, the questions, the fragile places. Breathe calm into what feels chaotic. Let Your voice be louder than fear and Your presence stronger than the storms that move inside me. Restore clarity where confusion has taken hold. Bring peace where unrest has grown. Wrap my heart in the gentle strength of Your love, and remind me that You answer when I call. Let this night become a resting place for my soul, and let Your peace shape the hours ahead.

Teach me to breathe deeply in Your presence, to let Your calm unravel the tension, and to walk into this morning with a confidence rooted not in myself, but in Your faithful love. When thoughts begin to race, slow them. When worries try to lead, silence them. When doubts attempt to cloud my clarity, lift them away with the gentleness only You can give. Jesus, I ask for strength where I feel weak, for direction where I feel unsure, and for courage where I feel stretched. “Dá-me clareza espiritual neste início do dia.” Give me spiritual clarity at the start of this day, and a steady heart that moves with grace rather than fear.

How do we bless strength, adventure, and tenderness in the next generation without fear or striving? Stasi welcomes Rebekah Lovell into a conversation about her book Boyhood Resurrected, honoring the God-given design of boys and the invitation Jesus offers us to bless what is wild and good. Together, they explore how grace, wisdom, and hope meet us as we raise hearts formed by love, freedom, and faith, in a demanding culture.And friends, as we talk about boys being “wired for wild,” we are not diminishing the unique and glorious ways girls are wired for adventure as well. While most Captivated episodes are directed toward women, this conversation turns toward nurturing boys in a world that too often misunderstands or diminishes them.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Hosea 6:3 (NIV) – Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.Psalm 100:1 (NIV) – Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.…..GUEST: REBEKAH LOVELLWebsite: https://rebekahlovell.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/MrsPoet_ActualX: https://x.com/mrspoet_actualBook: Boyhood Resurrected: Igniting a Revival of Daring and Heroic Boys   https://rebekahlovell.com/books/BIORebekah Lovell is an author, speaker, and homeschool mom of two wild and noble boys.

The amanhecer carries both beauty and pressure — thoughts of responsibilities, quiet anxieties, and the weight of another day waiting to unfold. Yet Your word tells me that You cover me, surround me, and shelter me beneath the safety of Your wings. Tu és a minha proteção. Your faithfulness becomes the shield that guards my emotions and the strength that steadies my steps. Lord, as this new day awakes, let the peace of Christ rule gently within me. Let it quiet internal noise, soften restless thoughts, and lift away the tension that tries to settle early. Replace anxious breathing with Your steady presence. Replace uncertainty with a renewed confidence in Your guidance. Let Your peace — not fear — be the voice that leads my morning. Cover my decisions, my conversations, my workload, my heart.

You see the quiet strain behind the smile, the pressure felt in responsibilities, and the heaviness that gathers when the mind is stretched in many directions. You welcome us to come close, not with perfect strength, but with honesty and need. You meet us gently, speaking peace into the places where the day has felt demanding. Holy Spirit, breathe calm into every listener who feels the middle of the day tightening around their thoughts. Lift the quiet burdens that have been carried since morning. Bring a steady rhythm of peace into the tasks ahead. Let Your nearness soften emotional strain and bring reassurance to anyone feeling overwhelmed, tired, or unsure how the rest of the day will unfold. Fill the heart with a renewed sense of steadiness, so the weight does not become too much to bear. Yahweh, You draw near when we call. You are not distant from the one who feels stretched thin.

And be thankful.” Joshua 1:7 (NIV): “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law My servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.” Jesus, as the morning settles in and thoughts begin to crowd the mind, You offer a peace that does not depend on circumstances. You see how quickly overthinking can rise, how easily small worries grow, and how quietly insecurity tries to shape the day before it fully begins. Your word invites us into calm, steady confidence. You call us to let Your peace rule, not the loud thoughts, not the fears of what could go wrong, and not the pressures that ask for more strength than we feel we have. Holy Spirit, bring gentle clarity to every listener who feels pulled in many directions. Quiet the inner noise that makes decisions feel heavier than they need to be. Steady the heart of the one who doubts their worth or ability. Let Your presence organise the thoughts that feel scattered and restore order where confusion has taken root. Remind us that courage grows when we walk closely with You, and that strength rises when we pause long enough to breathe and listen. Yahweh, guide each step with the assurance that You go before us. Let Your peace weave through today's tasks, responsibilities, and conversations. When overthinking tries to return, draw us back to Your voice—the voice that speaks calm, purpose, and identity.

Morning strength begins to fade, responsibilities feel heavier, and emotions often surface quietly beneath the pace of the day. You see every listener who feels overwhelmed, stretched, or unsure how to continue. You come close to those who call on You, meeting them with kindness and steady reassurance.

From London to Sydney, Chicago, Lagos, Dublin, Toronto, Berlin, and Singapore, this 5 a.m. devotional rises with the global cry for strength — “Jesus give me strength,” “help me face today,” “I feel exhausted,” “renew my spirit,” “morning strength prayer,” “courage for today,” “I can't do this alone,” “Holy Spirit help me today.” Isaiah 40:31 (NIV): “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Psalm 143:8 (NIV): “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to You I entrust my life.” Jesus, as the world wakes and responsibilities rise, I bring You the places of weakness I cannot hide. You see the tiredness under the surface, the quiet discouragement, the emotional heaviness carried from yesterday, the fear of failing, the pressure of expectations, the weight of decisions waiting to be made, the anxiety of not feeling strong enough for what this day requires. And these mirror the exact searches rising across the globe this morning — Jesus give me strength, prayer for courage, morning strength prayer, I feel overwhelmed today, Holy Spirit help me, I need strength to carry on, renewal prayer, prayer for emotional strength, I feel drained, Jesus renew my hope. Jesus, breathe new strength into my spirit. Let hope rise where discouragement has sat too long. Lift my eyes from fear to faith. Holy Spirit, steady my thoughts, calm my heart, and strengthen my inner being. Renew my perspective. Restore my courage. Refresh my mind. Fill me with the resilience I do not have in myself. Let Your unfailing love meet me in the first light of this day and guide every step I take. I declare that today I will not walk in my own strength but in the strength of the Lord. Weariness will not define me. Fear will not hold me. Discouragement will not lead me. Jesus goes before me, the Holy Spirit strengthens me, and the Father watches over me.

The Process of a Blessed Life 3) God cuts what's working, not just what's broken   Genesis 12:1–2 (NIV) The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father's household to a land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.”   Fine isn't the same as fruitful.   Growth doesn't just mean adding new things; sometimes it means releasing old ones.   4) Blessing grows through surrender, not comfort   James 1:2–4 (NIV) Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.   Pain → Process → Purpose   2 Corinthians 4:17 (NIV) For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.   The pressure you're feeling might be the proof you're growing.   5) What God removes always makes room for something better.   Hebrews 12:11 (NIV) No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.   Job 42:10, 12 (NIV) After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before... The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the former part. What feels like decrease now is often the setup for double later. Galatians 6:9 (NIV) Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. The cut isn't the end of your story, it's the evidence that your next season is about to bloom

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.BUILT DIFFERENT: FAMILIESI.  WE WALK BY FAITH.Hebrews 11:8 (NIV) By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.Hebrews 10:39 (NIV) But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.Faith does not eliminate questions.

Isaiah 43:18-19 NIVForget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.This passage from the prophet Isaiah, offering God's words to the people of Israel, is both beautiful and poetic. As followers of Christ, we can apply these promises to our own lives because God has opened every door and provided every gift He holds in His storehouse for us through Jesus.God has created for us a way out of the past and into the realm of the new He has made. He wants us to see, understand, and embrace all He has for us. In what was once a wilderness, He makes a way and what once was a wasteland, He creates a stream. That, my friends, opens up the doors for us to not only set new and exciting goals for our lives, but actually see them come true.Listen to The Message Bible's version of this passage: “Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new. It's bursting out! Don't you see it? There it is! I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.Declare this with me: I will forget the former things; I will not dwell on the past. I will see the new thing that God is doing! He is making a way in my wilderness and a stream in my wasteland. (from Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV) Let's commit this to prayer: “Father, thank You for the new thing You are doing in my life. I receive it and want to see it happen. Bring Your way, create Your stream, through my life to live as You desire and designed me to live. As above, so below.”

“If you, then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him?” — Matthew 7:11In Week 10 of our Summer on the Mount series, Pastor Chris Zauner unpacks Jesus' powerful teaching on prayer in Matthew 7:7–11, inviting us to rethink our relationship with God through the lens of trust, boldness, and sonship.

Ever wish you could be unbothered—the kind of person who doesn’t spiral when things go sideways? In today’s devotional, Laura Bailey shares a heartfelt story about her friend’s tough day, a voicemail full of frustration, and a powerful moment of conviction from the Holy Spirit. What started as venting turned into a moment of humility—and a reminder that being “unbothered” doesn’t mean we ignore hurt. It means we choose grace over pride. As Romans 12:3 tells us: “For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, by the faith God has distributed to each of you.” (NIV) Let this be your reminder:Being unbothered doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you care more about the person than the problem. Join the Conversation:Have you ever caught yourself in a moment of venting—only to feel convicted later? What helps you respond with grace instead of reacting with frustration? Let us know @LifeaudioNetwork or by email. We’d love to hear your story.

Jesus doesn't begin the Sermon on the Mount with commands—He begins with identity. “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.” These aren't tasks to perform, but deep truths to live from. In this episode, we explore three powerful, identity-shaping metaphors Jesus gives His followers: Salt, Light, and a City on a Hill. These aren't random illustrations—they're rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures and steeped in covenant language. Salt reminds us of God's enduring faithfulness. Light reflects our calling to reveal God's presence in a dark world. And a City? It's a picture of a visible, communal people where others encounter the reign of God. Through this lens, we'll see how Jesus redefines what it means to be blessed and challenges us to live lives that are distinct, illuminated, and grounded in the story of God. Whether it's in our neighborhoods, workplaces, or online spaces, Jesus is calling us to be a preserving presence, a revealing light, and a visible people shaped by His Kingdom. Key Themes: Salt as covenant loyalty  Light as God's mission  The Church as a City that reflects God's kingdom Scripture Focus: Matthew 5:13–16 (NIV) "Let your light shine..." not to draw attention to ourselves, but to glorify our Father in heaven.” Episode Links: Buy Me A Coffee simplyrevised.org Contact Us Receive our newsletter Facebook Instagram Music Provided by Eric Gwin Appain Media: Bible Study Without Borders: Sermon on the Mount BibleProject (podcast): Salt of the Land and Light of the World

Immeasurably More // New Identity Ephesians 4:17-32 (NIV)“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed. That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”  1.     In Christ, We Have a New Identity. Ephesians 4:22 (NIV)“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires.” Ephesians 4:24 (NIV)“And to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” Colossians 3:9-10 (NIV)“…You have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.” Romans 13:12, 14 (NIV)“…Let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.”  Ephesians 4:1 (NIV)“…I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.”  Matthew 6:8 (ESV)“Do not be like them…” Romans 12:2 (NIV)"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” 2.    In Christ We Should be Honest and Not Lie.  Ephesians 4:25 (NIV)“Therefore, each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.” Christians Are to Have Righteous Anger, Not Unrighteous. Ephesians 4:26-27 (NIV)“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.” Psalm 4:4 (ESV)“Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent.” Psalm 119:53 (ESV)“Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law.” Mark 3:5 (ESV)“And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart…” Christians Are to Work, Be Generous, and Not Steal. Ephesians 4:28 (NIV)“Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.” Christians are to Replace Corrupt Talk with Edifying Talk. Ephesians 4:29 (NIV)“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Ephesians 4:30 (NIV)“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”     Christians are to Replace Bitterness and Rage with Kindness and Forgiveness. Ephesians 4:31-32 (NIV)“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

Colossians 3:15 encourages us to "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts." Imagine being part of a well-coordinated team in a game like Overwatch or League of Legends. Success comes when everyone works together under a unified strategy.Similarly, we're called to let Christ's peace guide our hearts and interactions. This peace isn't passive; it actively influences how we respond to situations and people.As members of one body—the church—we're meant to live in harmony. When we allow His peace to rule, it becomes the umpire in our hearts, making the calls in our decisions and relationships.Prayer:Jesus, we invite Your peace to take control of our hearts. Help us to prioritize unity and love within our communities. Let Your peace dictate our responses and bring us together as one body. In Your name, Amen.

Have you asked God to show you how you can partner with Him in pushing back the darkness in this world? How does it feel to know that God's Light and love will win in the end? SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below Focus on Jesus  By Alexis A. Goring “I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.” — Psalm 123:1 (NIV) Let's face it: Our world is in complete chaos. But we do have hope! His name is Jesus Christ and He can help us survive this experience on Earth.  It's easy to get caught up in all that is wrong with our world today: wars and rumors of wars, division in the Christian church, turmoil in our communities in the USA and throughout the world, bad weather wreaking havoc, political upheaval, as well as personal struggles and the trials we all endure as followers of Jesus Christ. Truthfully, it's a lot and very overwhelming if that's our focus.  But the moment we decide to turn our eyes upon Jesus, that is when our perspective begins to change. We remember that planet Earth is not our home. We realize that one day, Jesus will return and usher all His faithful followers into Heaven where there will be no more pain, sorrow, heartbreak, disappointment, or sin. Heaven is a perfect place, and when we arrive there, we too will be perfect. But for now, Earth is our temporary home. God does not expect us to ignore all the problems we have on this planet. Instead, He expects us to serve others as we serve Him. It's our duty to make this world a better place. We can do that by focusing on our faith walk with Jesus. When we ask Him to show us what He is doing in this world, we can learn what we can do to partner with Him in driving out the darkness. The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world (John 8:12) and as Christians, we are a light for Christ (Matthew 5:14). It is important to spend time with God and ask Him how we can share Christ's light and love with our fellow humans—especially those who don't know Jesus yet. William J. Thoms, a British writer, said, “Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.” Therefore, let's do our best to love God and all people. Our hope is that they will be drawn to Him and learn how much God loves them. When we share the love of Jesus, it helps to ease their pain as they learn how to look to Christ. The lyrics to the hymn, “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,” tell us that when we look to Jesus, all the problems in this world seem to fade away. Our perspective is renewed as we allow His goodness, grace, and mercy to flood our souls, bringing us close to Him and reminding us that this world is not our home. Several years ago, I was pouring out my heart to Jesus about all the pain in this world and lamenting how it was affecting me. God responded by speaking these words to my heart: “Remember, Earth is temporary and that means your pain is temporary.” He helped me see that all the trials and tribulations, death and destruction, betrayal and pain … it all will be put to a permanent end by Jesus Christ. There is an expiration date to our pain and that date is known as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Only God knows the exact date and time when He will send His Son to take us home (Matthew 24:36). God wants everyone to know Him and be saved in His Kingdom. Let's keep working to share His Light and His love with our world today and every day. There are two songs that helped to inspire this devotional today: “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” by Rachael Lampa and “Turn to Jesus” by Katy Nichole. I encourage you to listen to both, because the lyrics can help us focus on Jesus. Let's thank Jesus for being our safe place, our refuge and ever-present help in trouble. Let's look to Jesus and focus on Him so that we are not consumed by all the pain and suffering in this world. Let's thank the Lord for always being here for us and never leaving us to face life alone.  Intersecting Faith and Life: Have you asked God to show you how you can partner with Him in pushing back the darkness in this world? How does it feel to know that God's Light and love will win in the end?

In Part 2 of the Radical Discipleship series, Stasi teaches the power of worship and fasting. Worship is not just an act but a posture of the heart, a response to God's goodness and love as his Beloved.

She came to him and asked, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” 41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.

However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”…..RESOURCES:Part 1 – Radical Discipleship: Prayer and Scripture  https://wahe.art/3XD0hNwThe Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence  https://amzn.to/3AR2cFjThe Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible by Michael S.

Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. This passage from the prophet Isaiah, offering God's words to the people of Israel, is both beautiful and poetic. As followers of Christ, we can apply these promises to our own lives because God has opened every door and provided every gift He holds in His storehouse for us through Jesus. God has created for us a way out of the past and into the realm of the new He has made. He wants us to see, understand, and embrace all He has for us. In what was once a wilderness, He makes a way and what once was a wasteland, He creates a stream. That, my friends, opens up the doors for us to not only set new and exciting goals for our lives, but actually see them come true. Listen to The Message Bible's version of this passage: “Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new. It's bursting out! Don't you see it? There it is! I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands. Declare this with me: I will forget the former things; I will not dwell on the past. I will see the new thing that God is doing! He is making a way in my wilderness and a stream in my wasteland. (from Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV) Let's commit this to prayer: “Father, thank You for the new thing You are doing in my life. I receive it and want to see it happen. Bring Your way, create Your stream, through my life to live as You desire and designed me to live. As above, so below.”

Text: Hebrews 10 Theme: In one of the most often quoted passages in the book of Hebrews, we find a challenge and an opportunity. This week we'll take a deep dive into both. Key Verses: Hebrews 10:23-25 (NIV) “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49282963

Honor: The currency of the miraculous What is honor? To esteem To Value To give respect to To honor someone is to value them highly or bestow value on them What does the bible say about honor? Romans 12:9-10 ESV 9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Philippians 2:3 ESV Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Who should we honor? 1 Timothy 1:17 NIV Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 6:1-3 NIV Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” Leviticus 19:32 AMP You shall rise before the gray-headed and honor the aged, and you shall fear your God [with profound reverence]; I am the Lord. Romans 13:1-3 NIV  Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.  So the bible tell us to honor: God  Our Parents  The elderly  Those in authority Our Spiritual Leaders 1 Timothy 5:17 ESV Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. Mark 6:4-5 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” 5 And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

Say the right thing in the right way at the right time. Brian Priebe | Executive Pastor | June 16, 2024 Matthew 12:34b-35 (NIV)For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. Matthew 15:18 (NIV)But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. Psalm 19:14 (NIV)May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in your sight Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Romans 10:9 (NIV)If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Matthew 12:36-37 (NIV)“But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” James 3:9-10 (NIV)With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

Message for 06/16/2024 "Jesus is Interruptible" by Justin McTeer. *All verses are NLT unless otherwise noted* Hebrews 13:8-9a - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Matthew 14:1-13a - When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, heard about Jesus, 2 he said to his advisers, “This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead! That is why he can do such miracles.” 3 For Herod had arrested and imprisoned John as a favor to his wife Herodias (the former wife of Herod's brother Philip). 4 John had been telling Herod, “It is against God's law for you to marry her.” 5 Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of a riot, because all the people believed John was a prophet. 6 But at a birthday party for Herod, Herodias's daughter performed a dance that greatly pleased him, 7 so he promised with a vow to give her anything she wanted. 8 At her mother's urging, the girl said, “I want the head of John the Baptist on a tray!” 9 Then the king regretted what he had said; but because of the vow he had made in front of his guests, he issued the necessary orders. 10 So John was beheaded in the prison, 11 and his head was brought on a tray and given to the girl, who took it to her mother. 12 Later, John's disciples came for his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus what had happened. 13 As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. Matthew 14:13-14a - As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns. 14 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat… Matthew 14:13-14 - As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns. 14 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. Jesus is Interruptible Mark 2:1-5 - When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. 2 Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God's word to them, 3 four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat.4 They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. 5 Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.” Matthew 19:13-15 - One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could lay his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” 15 And he placed his hands on their heads and blessed them before he left. Luke 8:41-48 - Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.” 47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” Philippians 2:1-5 NIV - Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Hebrews 1:3a NIV - The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being,sustaining all things by his powerful word. Hebrews 4:16 NIV - Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

On today's podcast, Stasi shares the amazing depth of God's love for each of us individually. As the great Romancer of our hearts, he uniquely pursues us as his beloved. Did you know that we can romance his heart as well? What does that look like? Friends, he loved us first, and we romance him as we love him back. Let's unpack that a little together and sink more deeply into his extravagant love—and then, let's romance his heart with our loving gaze. Stasi ends the podcast by leading us through an encounter with Jesus, a space to focus on resting in His embrace and experiencing His unfathomable love.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Ephesians 3:16-19 (NLT) —  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.

Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.John 17:23 (NLT) —  I am in them and you are in me.

Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.Ephesians 2:6 (NLT) — For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.Psalms 139:17-18 (NLT) — How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!…..OTHER RESOURCES:Quote: Timothy Keller: “The only person who dares wake up a king at 3:00 AM for a glass of water is a child. We have that kind of access.”Poem: Indwelt by A.S. WilsonNot merely in the words you say,Not only in your deeds confessed,But in the most unconscious wayIs Christ expressed.Is it a beatific smile,A holy light upon your brow;Oh no, I felt His Presence whileYou laughed just now.For me ‘twas not the truth you taughtTo you so clear, to me still dimBut when you came to me you broughtA sense of Him.And from your eyes He beckons me,And from your heart His love is shed,Til I lose sight of you and seeThe Christ instead.Guided Prayer Time Code: 26:06Guided Prayer Background Music: Santo from the album Soaking in His Presence, Vol. 3 by William Augustohttps://amzn.to/49PvdxF…..Don't Miss Out on the Next Episode – Subscribe for FreeSubscribe using your favorite podcast app:Spotify Podcasts – https://spoti.fi/42SsOipApple Podcasts – https://apple.co/42E0oZ1 Google Podcasts – http://wahe.art/3M81kxLAmazon Music & Audible – https://amzn.to/3M9u6hJ

Philippians 4:13 NKJV So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. John 19:30 NKJV I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
