What Noah Knew • Friday Service To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org Genesis 6:5 (NKJV) “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:8-9 (NKJV) “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.” Genesis 6:13-14 (NKJV) “And God said to Noah, ‘The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.'” Genesis 6:22 (NKJV) “Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.” Hebrews 11:7 (NKJV) “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.” 2 Peter 2:5 (NKJV) “And did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly.” Matthew 24:37-38 (NKJV) “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark.” 1 Corinthians 3:9-11 (NKJV) “For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.“
He does, and He will. “When you pray, say: ‘Our Father in heaven.'” - Luke 11:2 (NKJV)

Acts 21:10-14 New King James Version 10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he took Paul's belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.' 12 Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, “What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” 14 So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”
MAR. 3, 2026Embrace "the whole counsel of God""I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God." Ac 20:27 NKJVMore than a hundred years ago, William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, spoke prophetically when he said, "The chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell."That's as true now as it was then. Paul exhorted the leaders of the Ephesian church to declare, "The whole counsel of God." He said: "Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears" (vv. 28-31 NKJV). On the eve of his execution, Paul handed off the baton to his successor Timothy with these words: "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine...they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables...be watchful...fulfill your ministry" (2Ti 4:2-5 NKJV).Embrace "the whole counsel of God" Forgiveness without repentanceShare This DevotionalSend a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!
MAR. 4, 2026Confidants, constituents, comrades."Give to Your servant an understanding heart...that I may discern between good and evil." 1Ki 3:9 NKJVNearly all key relationships in your life can be broken down into three categories: confidants, constituents, and comrades. Let's look at each. (1) Confidants. These are the people whose relationships with you are lifelong. They love you unconditionally, stand by you, and have your back in good times and bad. Your best interest is their number one priority. They never seek to use what they know about you for their own gain or throw your secrets back in your face. Paul said concerning Timothy: "I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus. But you know his proven character" (Php 2:20-22 NKJV). (2) Constituents. These people share the same goals, values, and principles you have, but they aren't always there for you. But having constituents in your life is important. They contribute energy, passion, and enthusiasm. And you can work with them to accomplish common goals and build bridges. Just be sure not to expect constituents to have the loyalty of confidants. They are with you for a reason and a season, and then they move on. (3) Comrades. These are the people who are attracted to you because of what they are against. They may not get to know you, or even like you, but on the field of battle, they join you as soldiers to defeat a common enemy. Once the fight is over, the relationship ends or at least cools. Your only bond is your common enemy. So get to know who's in your life: confidants, constituents, or comrades.Confidants, constituents, comradesGet to know who's in your life.Share This DevotionalSend a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!
The whole furor was manufactured. “Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.” - Matthew 7:5 (NKJV)

MAR. 2, 2026Having a Spirit-controlled tongue (2)"The tongue is a flame of fire." Jas 3:6 NLTThe Bible says, "A tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And...the tongue is a flame of fire" (vv. 5-6 NLT). People living in hot climates know the danger of ravaging bushfires driven by desert winds and can readily identify with these words: "See how great a forest a little fire kindles!" (v. 5 NKJV). A single spark from a match has started many massive fires. Spreading faster and farther than we might ever imagine, that kind of fire destroys homes and businesses worth millions of dollars, leaving a scorched landscape and devastated lives. Similarly, how many reputations have been ruined by a careless word? The impact of our words spreads far and fast, especially in our digital age. Words published on any social media platform can be shared all over the world in seconds. Like a fire, that word can get out of control and do irreparable damage. Hence James wrote: "No man can tame the tongue" (v. 8 NKJV). But God can. "The fruit of the Spirit is...self-control" (Gal 5:22-23 NKJV).The Holy Spirit can take a tongue that peddles gossip and turn it into one that brings glory to God. He can take a tongue that spews bitterness and turn it into one that speaks blessing. Gossip is saying something behind someone's back that you would never say to that person's face.Flattery is saying something to someone's face that you would never say behind the person's back. And both are wrong. So let's join the Psalmist in praying: "May these words of my mouth...be pleasing in your sight, Lord" (Ps 19:14 NIV).Having a Spirit-controlled tongue Reputations have been ruined by a careless word.Share This DevotionalSend a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

What is the very first word God uses to describe Himself?In Exodus 34, after Israel's failure with the golden calf, God proclaims His own name — and the first word He speaks is merciful.In this episode, Jeffrey and Christopher explore the Hebrew word rakhum, a word connected to the idea of womb-deep compassion. Together, they discuss what it means that God is not distant from human suffering but deeply moved by it.How does divine mercy shape the way we approach God in our weakness?How does it challenge the way we treat others?And how do we see this mercy fully revealed in Jesus?This conversation continues the series on the character of God — not just to understand who He is, but to consider who we are becoming as we follow Him.Key Text: Exodus 34:6“‘The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth…'” (NKJV)

In this powerful episode of Elevate the Day, hosts Jennifer Covello and Karen Salisbury discuss a topic that challenges us all—receiving correction. While feedback can feel uncomfortable, it is one of God's greatest tools for personal growth, spiritual maturity, and character development.Through real-life examples, from corporate performance reviews to classroom lessons, Jennifer and Karen unpack why a teachable spirit is essential if we want to grow in our faith and relationships. If you've ever struggled with feedback, this episode will help you develop discernment, humility, and wisdom in how you respond.Key Takeaways:• Correction is a pathway to peace and spiritual maturity.• A humble heart positions us for God's blessings.• Constructive feedback from trusted relationships strengthens us.• Loving instruction is not rejection—it's refinement.• Spiritual growth requires being correctable.Scripture: “He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, but he who refuses correction goes astray.” (Proverbs 10:17 NKJV)

When pressure comes, we press in! No matter how tough it may feel, when we choose to press in, we experience God's power, we are refined, and we are transformed, moving from glory to glory.“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.” - Philippians 3:14-15 NKJVThree ways we keep going in times of pressure:1. Press in through prayer2. Prioritize being in God's presence3. Practice a life of praiseScripture shows us that moments of opposition are often the moments when prayer becomes most necessary and most powerful. In Nehemiah's day, the people rebuilt the wall while surrounded by resistance, working withone hand and holding a weapon in the other, staying alert, prayerful, and dependent on God. The pressure did not stop the work. It drove them deeper into reliance on the Lord.Jesus modeled this same response in Luke 22. In the greatest moment of pressure He had ever faced, He withdrew to pray. The intensity did not cause Him to retreat. It caused Him to press in. And in that place ofprayer, He committed Himself to the will of the Father and found new strength. Though the trial remained, He rose strengthened, resolved, and ready to walk forward in obedience.Don't stop halfway.Don't quit under pressure.Press in, and keep going!Restore Church | Yorkville, ILSunday Mornings | 10 AMJordan & Melissa Gash, Pastorshttps://www.restorechurchyorkville.com
Another Sunday, another message in Ephesians!This week, Pastor Chris continues unpacking chapter 4, drawing powerful parallels to the Old Testament priestly garments described in Exodus. He explains how what was once a physical reality under the old covenant now carries a deep spiritual meaning in the new covenant.Referencing 1 Peter, where the apostle Peter calls believers “priests,” Pastor Chris highlights that just as Old Testament priests were recognized by the garments they wore, we are now to be recognized by the character and conduct we display. Our “attire” is no longer fabric, but faithfulness.The way we treat our husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, and fellow believers should reflect a distinctly priestlymanner of living. After all, we are described as:“a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9, NKJV).As you go into this week, take time to ponder this question from Pastor Chris:Do you intentionally wash yourself with the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures?

When Samuel finally answered, "Speak, for Your servant hears," the Bible says, "Then the Lord said to Samuel." All too often, our prayer is "Listen, God, for Your servant is speaking." Listening to God can involve a variety of practices: reading His Word, spending time in solitude and silence, and hearing from God just like a seasoned friend you trust. Here's an example: "As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, 'Tell the servant to go on ahead of us.' And he went on. 'But you stand here awhile, that I may announce to you the word of God'" (1Sa 9:27 NKJV). One of the most effective ways of hearing from God is through meditating on His Word. You say, "But I don't know how to meditate." If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate. In both worry and meditation, your thoughts and focus are given to a certain thing. When you meditate on God's Word, you're focusing your thoughts on the right thing! God told Joshua: "This Book...shall not depart from your mouth [speak it regularly], but you shall mediate [focus] in it day and night, that you may observe to do [act on it] according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success" (Jos 1:8 NKJV).Learn to listen to God Meditate on God's Word.Share This DevotionalSend a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!
A national covenant was signed in Edinburgh. “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads.” - Revelation 13:16 (NKJV)
Before you give up, press play. Today we are going to talk about the topic of it: Prayers don't expire, let's dive in!Sometimes we confuse commitments with productivity.We stay busy, we stay loud, we stay moving, but are we actually advancing, or are we just exhausting ourselves?We know how to go to God so why don't we?We can go to God like the persistent widow, refusing to let go without justice.We can go to God like Sarah believing when the promise feels so delayed.We can go to God like Hannah, pouring our hearts out when words fail.Ladies, we can even go to God like Jonah, these people are too lost to deserve saving or desperate enough to cry out from the depths after disobedience has occurred.We can go to God like Jairus, clinging to hope even when the report says “too late.”We can go to God like Abraham, trusting God to provide because of faith and obedience, even when the cost feels unbearable.We know how to pray, so why have some of us stopped praying?Are we living a life that keeps us positioned for God to move?1Thessalonians 5:16–22 ESV[16] Rejoice always,[17] pray without ceasing,[18] give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.[19] Do not quench the Spirit.[20] Do not despise prophecies,[21] but test everything; hold fast what is good.[22] Abstain from every form of evil.Notice it doesn't say rejoice when it's easy.Abstain from the ungodly things that you are intrigued by.It doesn't say pray only when it's urgent.It doesn't say give thanks when it makes sense.It says always.Without ceasing.In all circumstances.But here's the heart-check, ladies:Are we willing to dig our heels in and pray like Jesus prayed?Not the professional polite prayers.Not the quick speed date prayers.Not the “Lord, if You don't mind” prayers.But the kind of prayer that draws a line in the sand.Luke 4:8 NKJV[8] And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.' ”Jesus didn't negotiate.He didn't explain Himself.He didn't entertain the accusations.He stood on what was written.So let me ask youWhat are you standing on when the enemy comes whispering?What scripture do you answer with when doubt knocks?What truth do you cling to when yesterday's failures try to indict you today?Ladies, we already know the outcome. We have victory in Jesus Christ.1 Corinthians 15:57–58 NKJV[57] But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.[58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.Your labor is not in vain ladies.Your prayers are not wasted.Your obedience is not overlooked.Remember your submission to your husband glorifies God. When the enemy starts accusing you by dragging up the bad decisions of yesterday or even five minutes ago it's time to bring up God's resume.Remember how He walked you through it before.Remember how He sustained you in the middle of the mess.Remember how He rescued you when you didn't see a way out.God is not slack concerning His promises.He is omnipresent.Omniscient.Omnipotent.A rescuer then and a rescuer now.And He does not change.But let's be honest, can we say the same about ourselves?Do we walk like we believe God can do anything but fail?Have we let life create distance in our relationship with Christ?Have disappointments, unanswered prayers, or delayed promises caused us to pull back?Isn't He the only One who has ever been truly faithful and true from beginning to end?Ladies, prayers do not expire.So keep praying.Whether it's for you.For your children.For your family.For friends who don't even know you're praying.God cares.And God is listening.

The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens. [NKJV]
He who does the will of God abides forever. [NKJV]
Tim and Mary take a look at the news cycle once again, and while it generally resembles all the news cycles, one thing we can count on is that in Jesus, His mercies are new every morning; this can never be true in the world. He is the faithful one, and no matter how tiresome this world becomes, the one thing God says we need is His mercy, not more dark news about man’s inhumanity to man. So we start there, and then try and make sense of this divisive, judgment ready world. Today we look at the continued blame for everything on white men who love Jesus; Mike Huckabee’s attempt to reason with Tucker; and the world marching to the beat of Antichrist, especially in Europe where the spirit of the AC has preceded him. As interesting as it all is, and helpful to watch the times, Lamentations 3:22-26 says it all: “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I hope in Him! The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” (NKJV)
