If the day has not gone as you hoped, or you find yourself carrying thoughts you wish you could leave behind, this moment is for you. This is a prayer to gently begin again. We are praying from the words of Jesus in the Lord's Prayer — “Give us today our daily bread.” Father, as this day draws to a close, we come to You without needing to hold on to what has been. We come just as we are. Not perfect. Not finished. But welcomed. You are the God of new beginnings. And in You, nothing is beyond renewal. Even now, in this quiet moment, something new can begin. Your Word reminds us— that in Christ, we are made new. Not partially. Not gradually. But truly. So we pause here. We allow the weight of this day to settle. We acknowledge what has been. And then, gently, we release it. I release what did not go well today. I release the words I wish I could take back. I release the moments that felt heavy or unresolved. I place them in Your hands. And now, I receive. I receive Your mercy for today. I receive a fresh start in this moment. I receive the truth that I am not defined by what has passed. I receive. And now, I step into newness. Not tomorrow— but here, now, in this quiet space with You. Today does not need to carry into tomorrow. It can rest. And I can begin again. God is with you now. You are not alone this evening. Across the world, wherever we are listening, You are restoring hearts. From Lisbon to Nairobi, from Toronto to Manila, Your Spirit is renewing lives and lifting burdens. Jesús, hoy comienzo de nuevo en Ti con un corazón renovado. Jesus Cristo, hoje começo de novo Contigo com um coração renovado. Jesus, sa Iyo nagsisimula akong muli at ako'y binabago Mo. Father, we thank You. We receive Your grace. We rest in Your renewal. In Jesus' name.

Text: Matthew 5:21-26; variousTheme: It's easy to hold a grudge, but that won't get us where God wants us.

Resurrection 2026   Acts 1:3 NIV   3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.       Acts 2:22-24 NIV   22 "Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God's deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. How do you know Peter?       32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.     Acts 3:15 NIV   15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.;   Acts 10:39 NIV   39 "We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, 40 but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen.;       1 Peter 3:15 ESV   15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,                     John 19:34-35 ESV   34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 35 He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe.       Matthew 28:12-15 ESV   12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers 13 and said, "Tell people, 'His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.' 14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.       1 Corinthians 15:5-8 ESV   5 …he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.       "I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible."   -Chuck Colson       "Either the men of Galilee were men of superlative wisdom, and extensive knowledge and experience, and of deeper skill in the arts of deception than any and all others, before them or after them, or they have truly stated astonishing things which they saw and heard."       "According to the laws of legal evidence used in courts of law, there is more evidence for the historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ than for just about any other event in history."   -Dr. Simon Greenleaf-a principal founder of the Harvard School of Law       Philippians 3:8-10 NIV   8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death       Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV   Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.       2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV   16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

The Turning Point | March 8, 2026Pastor Wes MorrisMark 1:14-15 (NIV) After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”Metanoia: a change of mind that results in a change of direction.√  REALIZATIONLuke 15:17 (NIV) When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! Proverbs 16:18 (NIV) Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.√  REORIENTATIONLuke 15:18 (NIV) I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.√  REALIGNMENTLuke 15:20-24 (NIV) So he got up and went to his father.“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate."Romans 12:1-2 (NIV) Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV): “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” Jesus, as the first light of morning begins to rise, we lift our hearts to You, the One who brings renovo da manhã into every weary place within us.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningLamentations 3:22–23 — Jesus, As the Dawn Breaks, Let Your New Mercies Lift the Weight of Yesterday and Lighten My Spirit Live from Recife • Faro • Lubango • Pemba • Lima misericórdias novas • amanhecer suave • esperança renovada • new mercies • soft dawn • renewed hope Lamentations 3:22–23 (NIV): “Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” Matthew 6:34 (NIV): “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” Jesus, this early hour carries a different kind of quiet. It is not the heaviness of midnight and it is not the fear of the deep hours. It is the first breath of a new day, the moment when the night releases its grip and hope begins to rise again. Misericórdias novas. Amanhecer suave. Your Word tells me that Your mercies arrive fresh with every morning, not recycled, not fading, not weakened by yesterday's weight. They are new — as new as the sun that begins to climb over the horizon. And so I step into this dawn recognising that renewal does not come from my strength but from Yours. Jesus, I surrender the leftover anxieties of yesterday. I lay down every thought that tried to drain my confidence. I release every worry that attempted to carry itself into this morning. If yesterday felt heavy, Your faithfulness meets me here with the same strength that carried every generation before me. Let Your mercies wash over the tired corners of my mind. Let Your compassion settle beneath my breathing. Let hope rise slowly, gently, like the light spreading across the sky. Esperança renovada. Soft dawn. Renewed spirit. In this moment I receive what You are offering — a reset, a beginning, a new mercy for a new day. I pray for every listener across Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Cabo Verde, Mozambique, and the Americas who rises now with questions, concerns, or emotional fatigue. Let them feel Your nearness in the quiet spaces before the world awakens. Lift the guilt they carried from yesterday. Lift the fear they project onto tomorrow. Lift the pressure that sits on the shoulders before morning routines even begin. Great is Your faithfulness, and in that faithfulness, we anchor our dawn. Jesus, teach me not to borrow tomorrow's trouble. Teach me not to revisit yesterday's frustrations. Teach me to live inside today's mercy. With every sunrise You rewrite the atmosphere of the heart. With every dawn You remind me that no darkness can outlast Your compassion. Let this morning become a turning point — restful, hopeful, steady — as I begin this day in the safety of Your renewal.

From “In the Beginning” to Amen // Strategies of the Enemy (Exodus) There are Five Strategies I Want to Look at: (I'm sure there are others too) 1. DiscouragementDiscouraged by CircumstancesExodus 6:9 (NLT)“So Moses told the people of Israel what the LORD had said, but they refused to listen anymore. They had become too discouraged by the brutality of their slavery.” Discouraged by the EnemyExodus 13:17-18 (NLT)“When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God did not lead them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the shortest route to the Promised Land. God said, “If the people are faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” Discouraged by One AnotherNumbers 32:7-9 (NIV)“Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the Lord has given them? This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over the land. After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the Lord had given them.” Antidote: Encourage and Build UpHebrews 3:13 (ESV)"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called 'Today,' so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.” Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)"...Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together... but encouraging one another.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”       2. DistractionAntidote: Stay FocusedHebrews 12:1-2 (NLT)“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.” 3. Disruption/DivisionAntidote: Walk in Unity1 Corinthians 1:10 (NIV)“I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.” Philippians 2:2 (NIV)“Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” Colossians 3:13-14 (NV)“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” 4. DeceptionAntidote: Hold Fast to TruthJohn 8:32 (NIV)“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 17:17 (NIV)“Jesus said, ‘Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth'.” Psalm 51:6 (ESV)“Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.” 5. DestructionAntidote: Choose LifeProverbs 14:2 (NIV)“There is a way that seems right to man, but the end of it is destruction.” Acts 2:21 (NLT)“But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 2 Samuel 22:2 (ESV)“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer."

This week Ps Steu thanks Pastors Andy & Gina for the amazing foundation they created in Family Church, reflecting on last week which was a celebration of Ps Andy's & Ps Gina's ministry as they move towards their international soul saving calling.Ps Steu's keystone verse is 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" There is a past work that has occurred in our lives, that in this present day causes us to stand before God as the new creations. That past work is the moment our faith was placed in Jesus Christ. An incredible Exchange of the Cross happened in our lives. The theme of this message is very much that with God all things can be made new. There is nothing that God cannot make new. Our lives have been redeemed, fully. We have been brought back through Jesus to God, but God is now in the process of restoring that which was brought back to him. Often, even when we were straight, we walked away from God. We all have to come to the point where we come to our senses and accept Jesus, returning to God. Ps Steu continues by recounting the story of Jairus daughter, after Jesus healed the woman who touched the hem of His garment. He speaks about the crowd that needs to be got out of the way on order for us to unblock the way to Jesus. Some of us need to clear a path, get rid of the crowd, the distraction, the opinions, the the stuff that is just blocking us getting to what Jesus wants to do in our lives. Let us have the faith to move away from the 'crowds' in our lives so we can focus on Jesus to know Him, obey Him, love Him. It's time to have faith in God in order He can do a new thing in the impossible situations in our lives.

You are my refuge and my fortress, the steady defender of my heart when fear begins to push against the edges of my peace. Around the world, from Brazil to India, from South Africa to the USA, countless people awaken at 3AM carrying the same hidden worries, the same questions about tomorrow, and You meet every one of them with the reassurance that they do not face the night alone. Your presence offers emotional grounding when the mind begins to wander into uncertainty, reminding me that trust is not a feeling but a place I choose to stand. Matthew 6:34 becomes my anchor here, calling me away from spiralling thoughts and into the safety of Your timing. You do not ask me to solve tomorrow; You ask me to rest in You tonight. The fortress of Your care surrounds my emotions, softens my breathing, and restores quiet strength to my inner world. Under Your covering, the night becomes a place of renewal rather than worry. I rest knowing that You hold what I cannot manage and guard what I cannot see. Jesus, let these 3AM moments become a reminder that You are near, faithful, and strong.

The Fight For Family FirstGenesis 37:4 (ESV) But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.Today's Goals: Recognize where family falls in God's list of prioritiesReview your prioritiesPut family back where it belongs, second only to JesusFamily Is God's Primary FocusAfter Creating Man, God Established Family With/For HimGenesis 2:18, 24 (ESV) Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.Genesis 1:28 (ESV) And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”The Priority of Family is seen in Biblical Lineages/TribesThe Priority of Family is seen in the New Testament LanguageMatthew 6:9 (ESV) Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.Galatians 6:10 (NIV) Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.1 Corinthians 4:14–15 (ESV) I do not write these things to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.We tend as young adults to:Take good family experience for granted and long to go off to the bigger and betterIt is a checkmark in the list of things to do and starting our family becomes a checkmark of things to do.Take a bad family experience and want to escape itWe separate from our families - God is a god of reconciliationIn trying to be nothing like them we end up carrying our trauma into our familiesWe often become the very thing we said we would never becomeCreating Family is the first thing God didCalling us to create our families is the second.Everything else in life is for the sake of the first and second thing.Everything Works To The Demise Of FamilyThe Enemy's Subtle Attack On Her Husband - Genesis 3:1 (ESV) Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden'?”Genesis 2:15–17 (ESV) The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”Genesis 3:12 (ESV) The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.”The Impact: Genesis 3:23–24 (ESV) therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.Joseph's FamilyDad was tricked when he Got married Leah/RachelPromised children, but barren Rachel suggested concubinesMom died giving birth to his brotherDad favored him to the detriment of his family relationshipsGenesis 37:3–4 (ESV) Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.Genesis 37:23–24 (ESV) So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the robe of many colors that he wore. And they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.Genesis 37:28 (ESV) Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.Genesis 37:31–32 (ESV) Then they took Joseph's robe and slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood. And they sent the robe of many colors and brought it to their father and said, “This we have found; please identify whether it is your son's robe or not.”Genesis 37:36 (ESV) Meanwhile the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.Do you understand that it's more than good/bad people and good/bad decisions, THE ENEMY IS ATTACKING THE FAMILY IN CONCEPT AND IN EXPERIENCE?One man, one woman, for a lifetime… children?Cultural thoughts to the contrary are an evil agendaDangerous food, party culture, abortions, DINK Culture, Same sex marriage, Bill Maher Evil actions that impact your experience, view and pursuit Food For ThoughPeople Who Make Bad Decisions Are Influenced By More Than You Realize - Luke 23:34 (ESV) And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” A Bad Experience Does Not Negate The Value Of ____.

From “In the Beginning” to Amen // Faith to Start Walking & the Faith to Keep Walking Genesis 12:1-3,7 (NIV)The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the 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. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.' The Lord appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your offspring I will give this land.' So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him.” Fear and doubt are very real enemies. Time can become a very real enemy. Romans 4:16-25 (NIV)“Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring---not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. As it is written: ‘I have made you a father of many nations.' He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed---the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were… Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.' Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead---since he was about a hundred years old---and that Sarah's womb was also dead.Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why ‘it was credited to him as righteousness.' The words ‘it was credited to him' were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness---for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.” God Who Calls and LeadsGod Who ProvidesGod Who is All SufficientGod Who is Our Refuge and StrengthGod Who is a Good FatherGod Who Knows No Shadow of TurningGod Who Knows Us by Name and Calls Us by NameGod Who is Always FaithfulGod Who is the Same Yesterday, Today and ForeverGod Almighty Philippians 1:6 (NIV)“…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

As Christmas approaches, we are turning our focus to love this final week of Advent. In this episode, Karen and Emily unpack what it looks like to love like Jesus in everyday moments: choosing presence, serving quietly, pausing before reacting, and remembering that we love others because Christ first loved us. If the holidays have stretched your patience thin, we hope this conversation will help you refocus your heart on what truly matters! Episode Recap:We're talking about love this week (6:05)How do we respond to God's love practically? (7:55)Loving others looks like not being selfish (8:44)Take an interest in others this Christmas (12:34)Choose presence over perfection (15:54)Speak life with your words (16:31)Pause before you react (18:42)Enjoy simple moments (20:20)Serve quietly (21:15)Focus on gratitude (22:42)Scripture: 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, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.”Discussion Questions: Why do you think loving others feels harder during the holidays?In what ways do you catch yourself trying to impress others rather than love them?Which part of Philippians 2:1–5 challenges you the most right now?What does “choosing presence over perfection” look like in your home?What is one thing you can do this week to respond with love instead of frustration?Resources:Please give today to help us reach more moms with Wire Talk in 2026!

But what good is that with this huge crowd?”Scarcity isn't the absence of resources; it's the absence of trust.John 6:11 (NLT) Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people.

THE PROMISE KEEPER Part 4: Cup of Praise – The Promise of Fulfillment “From Success to Service” - Introducing “Mark” Mark was a rising star in the corporate world. He had the job, the bonus, the prestige, the weekend get-aways. Everyone praised him. Yet despite it all, he felt a deep emptiness inside—a gnawing void. One day, on a business trip, Mark visited a modest urban neighborhood on a whim. He met a local ministry worker who invited him to join a service-project that afternoon: helping refurbish an old community centre for at-risk youth. Mark showed up out of curiosity, not commitment. There, amid the paint-stained brushes and laughter of kids reclaiming space, something shifted. He realised: “I'm good at success — but it's not fulfilling me.” The smiles of the kids, the gratitude of the neighbourhood, the real-time impact—this stirred something in him. Over the next few months, Mark started going back—weekends, evenings—helping the neighbourhood centre, mentoring a teenager, listening to stories of struggle, cheering on simple victories. He discovered that his talents, his resources, his time—when invested not just for himself but for others—began to fill the void he had tried to ignore. Mark came to see that the promise he had been seeking wasn't: “You will have more, you will succeed more.” The promise he found was: “You will live more; you will serve more; and in that serving you will find fulfilment.” His life transformed: the career remained, but the definition of success changed. He measured success now in lives touched, hope renewed, a community uplifted. When he gave generously of himself, he found the greatest return. When he served others, he discovered what he was created for. He realised the cup of fulfilment was meant to be poured out, not just held for oneself. REVIEW: THE FOUR CUPS OF GOD'S PROMISES Our Christian Communion Celebration is modeled after the Jewish Passover, but where we use one cup, the Jewish people use four cups—each tied to Exodus 6:6–7. These cups represent four eternal promises God made more than 3,000 years ago, promises that still form the heart of His work today: Exodus 6:6–7 (NIV) Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.” A PROMISE is AN OFFER WITH A GUARANTEED RESULT. 1. “I will bring you out…” - Cup of SANCTIFICATION – The PROMISE OF SALVATION 2. “I will free you…” - Cup of DELIVERANCE – The PROMISE OF FREEDOM 3. “I will redeem you…” - Cup of REDEMPTION – The PROMISE OF RESTORATION 4. “I will take you as my own people.” - Cup of PRAISE – The PROMISE OF FULFILLMENT The Hebrew word “Hallel” means “to celebrate.” Combined with “Jah” (God), it gives us Hallelujah = Celebrate God! The Fourth Cup (Hallel) is about a celebrating life—“Hallelujah”—a life that magnifies God by making a difference with others as His people. This Fourth Cup is about LIVING A LARGE, FULL LIFE—not problem-free, but MEANINGFUL, FRUITFUL, and OVERFLOWING WITH JOY. God's desire is for you to live in such a way that your life itself becomes an act of praise—overflowing into others, making a difference in the world. Jesus confirmed this in: John 10:10 (TLB) — The thief's purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness. MANY DON'T LIVE IN FULFILLMENT BECAUSE… They let their past cripple them. They let culture define them. They try to do it all alone. THREE PRACTICAL WAYS TO WALK IN THE PROMISE OF FULFILLMENT 1. INVEST IN ETERNAL IMPACT Matthew 6:19–20 (NIV) — Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth… But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven. Fulfillment isn't found in what we accumulate, fulfillment is found in WHAT WE CONTRIBUTE. Ask: “How is my time, talent, and treasure advancing God's Kingdom?” Living for eternity gives your life lasting significance. 2. CELEBRATE PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION Philippians 3:13–14 (NIV) — Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal… Don't let the weight of unfinished goals or past mistakes rob you of joy. Learn to praise God for progress… every step forward is evidence of His promise. Fulfillment grows when GRATITUDE BECOMES YOUR POSTURE. 3. MULTIPLY YOUR LIFE IN OTHERS 2 Timothy 2:2 (NIV) — And the things you have heard me say… entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. Fulfillment isn't just about what God does in you,

Blockbuster Sunday | September 28, 2025Pastor Wes Morris Matthew 7:24–27 (NIV) Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 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. But faith knows where to take them.  - Elisabeth ElliotII.  WE SEE GOD IN EVERY SITUATION.Habakkuk 3:17–18 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.III.  WE DON'T GIVE UP. 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.Group Discussion Questions + PracticeOpening QuestionWhat's one of your favorite Christian/Worship songs or artists from when you first started following Jesus?”1.

We Don't Give Up“Burn the ships” scene: The family chooses perseverance. What's an area where you've been tempted to give up, but God is calling you to press on?Read Galatians 6:9. How do we encourage each other not to grow weary in doing good?What practices or habits help families (or friendships) keep going when life gets hard?Practice Next StepsGratitude Challenge: Each day, write down one place you see God's hand at work in both the highs and the lows.Encouragement Partner: Commit to checking in with a friend this week to pray specifically for perseverance in one area of life.Movie Info:Copyright holder: Lions Gate Entertainment Inc.Year of copyright: 2024Distributor: LionsgateProduction companies: Kingdom Story Company and Candy Rock Entertainment also have production credits for the film. 

Jesus doesn't say, try not to worry. He says, Don't.In this week's episode, Susie and Angie sit down for one last conversation in our current season to explore what Jesus meant in Matthew 6:34 when He told us not to be anxious about tomorrow. Together, we unpack the meaning behind the word “worry,” discover the freedom that comes from contentment, and share the ways God is gently helping us trust Him with the future one day at a time.If you've ever struggled to stay grounded in the present or felt pulled apart by imagined future threats, this conversation is for you. You'll hear biblical encouragement, personal stories, and honest reflections on how worry distracts us from the peace and provision Jesus offers right now.This episode also marks a turning point as we prepare to shift into a new season of the podcast. Don't miss this tender send-off and powerful reminder that God's care is steady, even when everything else feels uncertain. Matthew 6:34 (NIV)Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Never short sell an immeasurably more God.Never underestimate the power of a simple prayer offered on behalf of a complex situation.Never dismiss the impact of obedience (disobedience).Never be afraid of the repercussions of telling the truth in love. One of those repercussions is freedom.When in the dark always ask for more of God. You need Him more than answers, advice or direction.Change always requires change.A desire for change is common, actual change is elusive. Spiritual change always has spiritual opposition. Newton's Law of Motion #1 An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by a net external force. Application: People tend to stay in the same spiritual and physical spot until the pain of staying exceeds the “pain” required in changing. On the positive side, spiritual momentum is also difficult to stop.Newton's Law of Motion #2 The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Application: Surrender/Repentance is a powerful force and spiritual change requires it.Fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement: he is a rebel who must lay down his arms. C.S. Lewis.Newton's Law of Motion #3 For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Application: We pose the greatest threat to Satan's kingdom when we gain spiritual strength, a spiritual family and spiritual momentum. Salvation is the act of freedom and life. Sotiera & Sozo = Deliverance, rescue, freedom, wholeness. Acts 4:8-13 (NIV) 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.'(Psalm 118:22) 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.Salvation being found in no one else other than Jesus, is a non-starter in a relative truth culture. Salvation is the most inclusive offer known to mankind. Salvation has no racial, gender, political, economic or geographic or educational qualifications. BUT salvation has only one gate – Jesus. Sin is a separator, Jesus is a connector. John 3:16 (NIV) 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Part of Satan's deception around salvation is, you don't deserve this and you will be rejected.Justification is a legal action of setting right. Romans 10:9,10 (NIV) 9 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. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.With our repentance, surrender and confession, we are cleansed (saved) of all of our sins and the sin barrier between us and God is gone – this is a loving fatherly act. God now declares us justified – in right legal standing, penalty of our sin paid, free! This is His Just Judge “side” of God. Love can't exist without challenge. Salvation = Changed Relationship Justification = Changed StatusSanctification is the act of setting apart. The Hebrew root for sanctification means “set apart” and “brightness”. The difference between salvation, justification and sanctification is we play a more integrated role in our sanctification. While God does all three, sanctification is an ongoing process that requires our cooperation and continual surrender. Sanctification is an ongoing process of change. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 (NIV) As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.“how to live” points to an ongoing process. “more and more” is an ongoing advancement. Romans 7 & 8 deserves a slow readSalvation = Changed Relationship. Justification = Changed Status. Sanctification = Changed LivingRomans 12:1-2 (NIV) Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.The Process of Change…Respond in offering yourself in worship. Offer your whole selfThe more you hold onto yourself, the less you can hold onto God.Stop the conforming. Stopping Starves. Starved things die. Reject cultures attempt to squeeze you into their mold.Start the transforming. The fuel of spiritual transformation is spiritual mind renewal. The Word challenges and changes your thinking. The Truth of God's word is the only force strong enough for transformation. The best case for change is to hear/see and offer testimonies of change. Revelation 12:11(NIV) They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Let's celebrate some triumphing with some testimony. John 11:43b-44 (NIV) 43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”To exit death, you have to respond to Jesus' call to life. Once alive, ditch the dead stuff. Undeniable life comes with unavoidable backlash. Life QuestionsIs Jesus calling you out of a grave, today? Come forth!What dead stuff do you need to ditch? Ask for help and participate in stripping off the dead stuff that doesn't match the living God.Don't be afraid to live the life of Christ in dead circles. Everybody needs this life.

What does it mean to embody Christ, to be the living expression of his love in the world? In this inspiring episode, Stasi invites listeners to embrace our God-given design as image-bearers who carry his presence into our everyday moments. Through Scripture, story, and gentle guidance, Stasi shares how we reflect Jesus not by striving, but by receiving his love, blessing our lives, and living surrendered. Dear one, you matter, and your life reveals the heart of God.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Ephesians 1:18–19 (NIV) – 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.2 Corinthians 5:20 (NIV) – We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.John 14:12 (NIV) – Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.Romans 12:1 (NIV) – Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.1 John 1:9 (NIV) – If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.Romans 8:1 (NIV) – Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) – For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.John 13:35 (NIV) – By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV) – And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.Philippians 2:13 (NIV) – For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.John 3:16 (NIV) – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.……..RESOURCES"Apocalypse People: The discipleship movement that will probably change the world" by Blaine Eldredge   ⁠https://wahe.art/4n7GhgC⁠The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: How to Stay Emotionally Healthy and Spiritually Alive in the Chaos of the Modern World by John Mark Comer  ⁠https://bit.ly/4ne2jOX⁠Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus.

DIY—Your Faith | Week 1 | How to PrayThere are two types of people: those who DIY everything and those who DIY nothing.  Some of us take pride in doing everything ourselves—whether it's fixing a leaky faucet, repairing a car, or even tackling major home renovations. With countless YouTube tutorials at our fingertips, it seems like anything can be DIY'd.  Then there are those who hear the phrase “don't try this at home” and take it to heart, applying it to every aspect of life.  When it comes to faith, we often treat it the same way. Some of us try to figure it out all on our own, while others rely entirely on someone else—pastors, mentors, or teachers—to guide every step.  But here's the truth: God has already given us everything we need—the resources, wisdom, power, and the ultimate instruction manual, His Word—to DIY our faith. Our relationship with Jesus is personal, and we are called to take ownership of it.  Key Scriptures:  - James 1:22 (NIV) — Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.  - Matthew 7:24 (NIV) — Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  You are not called to figure it all out alone, but you are called to take action.  Over the next several weeks, we'll explore how to DIY our faith—how to pray, read the Bible, study Scripture, and apply its truths to our daily lives.  And the best news?

Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places // Zacchaeus Luke 19:1-10 (NIV)“Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.' So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. All the people saw this and began to mutter, ‘He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.' But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, ‘Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.' Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'” Ephesians 4:22-25 (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; 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. Ephesians 4:28-5:1,2 (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. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others upaccording 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. Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Let us imitate Christ and have the mind of Christ.Ephesians 5:1 (NIV)“Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children.” Philippians 2:1-11 (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, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.  In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”    Keys to a Transformed Life          Deny Self         Matthew 16:24 (NIV)         “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves          and take up their cross and follow me.'”          Walk in the Light         Ephesians 5:8-10 (NIV)         “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists of all goodness, righteousness, and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord.” Cast Off Hindrances Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Fix Our Eyes on ChristHebrews 12:2-3 (NIV)“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” 

The Vine | June 1, 2025Pastor Wes MorrisJohn 15:1-4 (NLT) I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.√ OUR FAITH FEELS DRY.√ WE CAN LOOK THE PART BUT WE'RE NOT LIVING THE LIFE.II Timothy 3:4-5 (TLB) They will betray their friends; they will be hotheaded, puffed up with pride, and prefer good times to worshiping God. They will go to church, yes, but they won't really believe anything they hear. Don't be taken in by people like that.√ WE SEARCH FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL SATISFY.Psalm 63:1 (NLT) O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. As God is exalted to the right place in our lives, a thousand problems are solved all at once. - A.W. Tozer THE VINEI. STAY CONNECTED. (ABIDING)John 15:4 (NLT) Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.Matthew 18:19 (NIV) Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.James 5:16 (NIV) Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.II. EMBRACE PAIN. (PRUNING)John 15:1-2 (NLT) I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.Romans 5:3 (NLT) We can rejoice when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. III. BE FRUITFUL. (PRODUCING)John 15:5 (NLT) Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.Galatians 5:22-23 (TLB) When the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.John 15:10-11 (NIV) If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

Today, Stasi invites us to step into the healing of our past as we learn to see our stories through the eyes of Jesus—with kindness, not shame. Through reflections on forgiveness, restoration, and God's unwavering love, we'll discover that it's not our history that defines us—it's Jesus who does. He invites us to remember our stories with mercy and receive his healing in the places that still ache. Join us as we walk together into his presence, where true healing occurs.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: John 14:27 (NIV) – Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.Ephesians 3:17 (NIV) – so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,Act 17:28 (NIV) – For in him we live and move and have our being.'As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.'Philippians 3:12 (NIV) – Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.Hebrews 13:5 (NIV) – Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”Romans 8:38-39 (NIV) – For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.Romans 8:1 (NIV) – Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,Isaiah 61:1 (NIV) – The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,1 John 1:9 (NIV) – If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.Psalm 103:12 (NIV) – as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.…..RESOURCESBecoming Myself: Embracing God's Dream of You by Stasi Eldredge (Chapters 2 and 3 in particular)  https://amzn.to/4hzdQULExperiencing the Depth of Jesus Christ by Madame Jeanne Guyon  https://amzn.to/3ZnXQ2zThe Sacred Romance by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge  https://amzn.to/41t7MHtExperience Jesus.

Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places // The Human Womb Isaiah 7:14 (NIV)“Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (God with us)” Isaiah 9:6-7 (NIV)“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.” Colossians 2:9 (NIV)“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.” Colossians 1:15-22 (NIV)“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.” Isaiah 40:12,15 (NLT)“Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers? Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale? … For all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand.” John 1:1-4 (NLT)“In the beginning, the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.”     Luke 1:30-39 (NIV)“But the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacobʼs descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.' ‘How will this be,' Mary asked the angel, ‘since I am a virgin?' The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.' ‘I am the Lordʼs servant,” Mary answered. ‘May your word to me be fulfilled.' Then the angel left her. At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea.” Luke 1:41-42 (NIV)“When Elizabeth heard Maryʼs greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!'” Luke 1:44-45 (NIV)“As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” Hebrews 4:15-16 (AMP)“For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin. Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God's gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].”  John 1:14 (NIV)The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 (MSG)“The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son.” John 1:9-11 (NIV)“The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.” 

Today, Stasi is joined by Emily Wilson Hussem—author, speaker, YouTuber, wife, and mother—to discuss Emily's new book, Sincerely, Stoneheart. Emily pulls back the curtain on the enemy's relentless schemes to attack our hearts. Satan attempts to fill us with fear and discouragement to keep us from stepping into the fullness of who we truly are in Christ. We each hold a unique beauty that God placed within us, and when we root ourselves in God, we can step boldly into the life we are created for.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Psalm 23:1 (NIV) – The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.Psalm 103:12 (NIV) – as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.Matthew 6:34 (NIV) – Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
