Bible Reading: John 15:8-11Aunt Jan was brewing herbal tea when Leah was dropped off for a visit one Sunday afternoon. Leah happily sat down in the homey kitchen and sniffed the air. "Mmm, it smells good in here!""Orange blossom tea--my favorite," said Aunt Jan with a smile. She pointed to a cake on the counter. "Help yourself."Leah got a plate from the cupboard and cut a slice of cake. Aunt Jan raised her brows. "Why so quiet today?" she asked. "You usually talk my ears off!" Leah laughed. "I was just thinking," she said."Well then, why not let me think with you?" said Aunt Jan. "What are we thinking about?""The lesson we had in Sunday school today was about growing in the Lord," Leah said. "Our teacher said we need to grow as Christians in order to become like Jesus, but I'm confused. Didn't He change us when we put our faith in Him? I guess I don't quite get it.""You're right, Leah," said Aunt Jan. "Jesus did change us when we trusted Him to save us from sin--we changed from being dead in sin to alive in Christ. But it takes time to grow in our relationship with Him and become more like Him." She took a sip of tea, then looked down at her cup. "It's a lot like tea," she said."Tea?" Leah asked. "Yes, tea," said Aunt Jan. "The moment a tea bag is put into hot water, it's no longer water--it's tea. That's like what happens to us the moment Jesus comes into our lives. But even though Jesus saves us from sin in an instant, it takes longer for us to learn to live out His truth and love in different areas of our lives and become more like Him--just like tea grows stronger the longer the tea bag is in it. The more we learn about Jesus and depend on Him to work in our hearts, the more we grow in our relationship with Him and become more like Him."Leah grinned. "Thanks, Aunt Jan. I think I get it now!"–Cindy Van SchalkwykHow About You?Are you growing in your relationship with Jesus? Do you spend time praying to Him and reading His Word, the Bible? Do you go to church to learn more about Him and spend time with other Christians who can encourage and support you in your faith? As you grow in your relationship with Jesus, you'll become more like Him as He teaches you to trust Him and show His love to others. Today's Key Verse:Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (NKJV) (2 Peter 3:18)Today's Key Thought:Grow to be more like Jesus

"'“To whom then will you liken Me, Or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of His power; Not one is missing. Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord , The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." - Isaiah 40:25-26, 28-31 NKJVRestore Church | Yorkville, ILSunday Mornings | 10 AMJordan & Melissa Gash, Pastorshttps://www.restorechurchyorkville.com

Have you ever felt like your prayers are hitting a dead zone, with no signal getting through to heaven? In a powerful message on unanswered prayer, Pastor Dave reveals how our choices and subscriptions can create spiritual interference. Drawing from Jeremiah 33, he unpacks how God eagerly desires to "show great and mighty things" in response to our prayers—but sins and intentional wrong choices (iniquities) can block the connection. Through practical biblical wisdom and candid insights, this message offers hope and clear steps to restore your prayer life. Watch now to discover how to clear the static and experience God's dynamic answers to your prayers.Jeremiah 33:1 33 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (the Lord is His name): 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and [b]mighty things, which you do not know.'Isaiah 59:1-2 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened,That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy,That it cannot hear.2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you,So that He will not hear.Psalms 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,The Lord will not hear.James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.1 John 5:14-15 14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.Matthew 17:14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is [c]an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”Hebrew 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.Proverbs 28:9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,Even his prayer is an abomination.

Pastor Shola begins from Hebrews 12:22–24 NKJV, teaching that the Old Testament is Jesus concealed, while the New Testament is Jesus revealed (Genesis 7:1 NKJV). He references Acts 7:37 NKJV and Matthew 16:13–19 NKJV, when Jesus was speaking about His identity, and reminds us that Christ means the Anointed One (Acts 10:38).The first time Jesus used the word translated as church was in Matthew 16:18, when He spoke to Peter. The original Greek word is ekklesia, meaning “assembly” or “the called-out ones.” Pastor Shola teaches that the church was instituted by revelation (Matthew 16:19 NKJV) but its formation did not happen until the book of Acts.The Book of Acts can be divided into three sections:- Acts 1–7: centers on Peter and reflects the apostolic vision of the early church, with the message directed primarily to the Jews.- Acts 9–28: highlights the ministry of Paul, where the gospel extends to the Gentiles.- Acts 8–12: covers matters arising as the church was growing stronger.Pastor Shola notes that three people were key in propagating the gospel:- Paul (Acts 8)- The Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8:27)- Cornelius (Acts 10:1–3)The Purpose of the Church- God's system on the earth (1 Timothy 3:15)- The body of Christ, with Jesus as the head (Colossians 1:16 NKJV)- A collection/gathering of believers (1 Corinthians 12:27 NKJV, Acts 11:22 NKJV)- The house of prayer (Matthew 21:13 NKJV)- A place of diversity (Romans 12:14 NKJV)- A place to be built (Ephesians 2:19 NKJV)- A place of doctrine (Acts 2:42 NKJV, 1 Timothy 5:21 NKJV)- A place of fellowship (Hebrews 10:24 NKJV)- A place to offer spiritual sacrifices (1 Peter 2:4)- A place where the Lord requires meat/supplies (Malachi 3:10 NKJV)- A place where angels are allocated (1 Timothy 5:21 NKJV)Church History in Six Periods- 30–300 AD: Pastor Shola mentioned that this was the birth of the church (Acts 15). The gospel spread through passion, discipleship, love, and miracles. Persecution later scattered believers (Acts 2, Genesis 11), which God used to fulfill His plan to reach the nations.- 300–600 AD: He highlighted the rise of the Apostolic Fathers. In 380 AD, Christianity became the state religion of Rome under Theodosius I.- 600–1000 AD: Pastor Shola noted this period was marked by the rise of Islam.- 1000–1500 AD: He explained that this era, known as the Dark Ages, saw Muslims conquer much of the Middle East, Christians begin to fight back, and the formation of the papacy in Rome.- 1500–1600 AD: Pastor Shola described this as the Reformation period, beginning with the pre-Protestant movement. (In Bible history, the previous move always fights the current move.)- 1600 AD – Present: He concluded by pointing to the Evangelical movement and later the rise of Pentecostalism.Pastor Shola concludes that God is raising cosmopolitan believers (Isaiah 2:3) and mighty men so that when Christ comes every space will be covered. The church is not man made but God's system on the earth, instituted by revelation and formed in Acts. It is the body of Christ, called to be His witness, His dwelling, and His instrument for global transformation.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

Hi Mordechai. I know that you want to know why Yeshua had to be fully God and fully Man. Right?Yes, Art. I am most interested in this. In fact, I think it is more accurate to say that I have a deep hunger to know the answer to this question.OK. Let me try my best to explain this. Remember the Fall that we talked about last time? And remember how Adam, the first human, was given dominion by Adonai over everything on earth? And how sin entered into Adam and Eve when they disobeyed Adonai and ate of the forbidden fruit?Of course, Art. I understand these things.And Rabbi, I asked you to trust me last time and to consider what the New Testament or Brit Hadasha had to say about these things.I remember. And I still trust you.Thanks, Rabbi. I think it's important to understand that the Tanach and the Brit Hadasha are one book. They are both the Word of God and each of them, the Old and the New, is in a way a commentary on the other. Some people say that the New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed and that the Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed. There is much truth in that statement.Art, does the New Testament show us that Adam's dominion over the earth was transferred to someone else when Adam sinned?Yes, Rabbi. Indeed it does. Let's read what the Brit Hadasha says about this.2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT:4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.John 12:31 NLT:31 The time for judging this world has come, when Satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out.Luke 4:5–6 NKJV5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.Rabbi, Satan is the god of this world. That's god with a small g. He is the ruler. That happened when Adam sinned. He lost the dominion of the world. But Art, isn't Adonai the supreme Ruler of the entire universe? And that includes all of the earth. Right?Yes, Rabbi. Adonai is still the supreme Ruler. But He is allowing Satan to be the ruler of the earth, for the time being, and up to a certain point only. Satan can only go as far as God allows him too. The book of Job, verses 1:1 and 2:6, make that clear. But God has allowed Satan great power and the ability to do great harm. We'll have to talk about that another time.OK, but let's get back to Yeshua. He is fully God and fully Man. Why did Adonai bring that to pass?Adonai brought that to pass because the catastrophic results of the Fall had to be reversed. And God in His infinite wisdom and power determined that because a Man broke the law and sinned and gave over the dominion of the earth to Satan, a Man had to take the dominion back, at a time determined by God. A Man who fulfilled God's Law perfectly including the payment of a sin offering, a perfect blood sacrifice. Let's read from the Brit Hadasha again.Galatians 4:4–5 NKJV:4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.And Yeshua, Himself, said this:Matthew 5:17 NKJV17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.And here is the sin offering, Rabbi:2 Corinthians 5:21 TLV21 He made the One who knew no sin to become a sin offering on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.Mordechai, Yeshua was sinless. He fulfilled God's Law perfectly because He could obey the Law, all 613 mitzvot. He could do this because He was and is fully God. In fact, Yeshua is now our High Priest. He is the only priest.OK, Art, that is profound. He is our High Priest? How did that happen?More about that later, Rabbi. We'll talk about that.OK, but why did Yeshua have to be fully Man?Rabbi let's look at a few more verses. First from the Tanach:Leviticus 17:11 NKJV11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.'And also from the Brit Hadasha:Hebrews 10:1–2 NLT1 The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship. 2 If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.Hebrews 10:12–14 NLT12 But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God's right hand. 13 There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. 14 For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.Rabbi, Yeshua had to be fully Man so that He could die. He had to be able to die in order to be a perfect blood sacrifice. The only perfect blood sacrifice. And the final blood sacrifice. This perfect and once for all blood sacrifice provided the atonement for all sins, past, present, and future. This sacrifice was and is never to be repeated. The Son of God, fully God and fully Man, died for you and for me, Rabbi. All that is needed is to accept what He did. On the cross. For you and for me. All that is needed is to believe.Art, again, this is too fantastic. I don't know what to say. This is too good to be true.Rabbi, this is the Gospel, the Good News. If it was not too good to be true it would not be the Gospel. But it is true. God tells us that in His word.Rabbi our conversation started a few weeks ago with your question, “How can I have eternal life”? Rabbi, this is how. Believe that Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Mashiach died to to pay the price for your sins and mine. Just believe, Mordechai. Do you believe?Yes, I believe. Thank you Lord. Thank you for dying for me. Thank you for giving me eternal life.Praise God, Mordechai. The angels in heaven are rejoicing!Let's meet again soon. We'll talk about how Yeshua is now our great and ultimate High Priest. OK?Yes!! Thanks Art. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit awolinsky.substack.com

Seven Ways to Know You're in the Will of God • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Seven Ways to Know You're in the Will of God (And How You Know When You're Not) Let me tell you something up front: The will of God is not a mystery! Religion paints this picture like God is hiding His will from you, and you've got to stumble around in the dark hoping you trip into it. No! God's will is clear, God's will is knowable, and God's will brings you into blessing and kingdom advancement. If you're not in the will of God, you're wasting time, spinning your wheels, and giving the devil a foothold in your life. But when you're in His will, you don't just survive—you multiply, you advance, and you shake the nations for Christ. 1. Peace in Your Spirit Scripture: “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.” — Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) 2. Confirmation by the Word of God Scripture: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 3. Fruitfulness and Multiplication Scripture: “You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?” — Matthew 7:16 (NKJV) 4. Open Doors by God's Hand Scripture: “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.” — Revelation 3:8 (NKJV) 5. The Witness of the Holy Spirit Scripture: “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” — Romans 8:16 (NKJV) 6. Provision in the Assignment Scripture: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 7. Advancing the Kingdom of God Scripture: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) How You Know You're NOT in the Will of God Let me hit this quickly and clearly. The Bible shows us markers of being outside His will: 1. Confusion and unrest. “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33 (NKJV) 2. Compromise against Scripture. “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you… let him be accursed.” — Galatians 1:8 (NKJV) 3. Lack of fruit. “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered.” — John 15:6 (NKJV) 4. Constant striving with no breakthrough. “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) 5. Ignoring conviction. “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” — Ephesians 4:30 (NKJV) 6. Living in lack. “You have sown much, and bring in little… he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” — Haggai 1:6 (NKJV) 7. Self-glory instead of God's glory. “I am the Lord, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another.” — Isaiah 42:8 (NKJV) Conclusion Friend, the will of God is not something you have to stumble into—it's something you step into by faith and obedience. When you're in His will, peace rules your heart, doors open, fruit multiplies, provision flows, and the Kingdom advances. When you're out of it, confusion reigns, doors slam shut, provision dries up, and your life feels like pushing a boulder uphill. Make up your mind tonight: I will live in the center of God's will. I will not be distracted. I will not compromise. I will not settle. Because when you're in His will—you're unstoppable. CCLI: 21943673

From Lo Debar to the King's Table • Friday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 2 Samuel 4:4 (NKJV) Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel; and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened, as she made haste to flee, that he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth. 2 Samuel 9:4 (NKJV) So the king said to him, “Where is he?” And Ziba said to the king, “Indeed he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar.” 2 Samuel 9:5 (NKJV) Then King David sent and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar. 2 Samuel 9:6-7 (NKJV) Now when Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face and prostrated himself. Then David said, “Mephibosheth?” And he answered, “Here is your servant!” So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” 2 Samuel 9:8 (NKJV) Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?” 2 Samuel 9:11 (NKJV) Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will your servant do.” As for Mephibosheth,” said the king, “he shall eat at my table like one of the king's sons.” 2 Samuel 9:12 (NKJV) Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Micha. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth. 2 Samuel 9:13 (NKJV) So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king's table. And he was lame in both his feet. Ephesians 2:4-6 (NKJV) But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

God is THAT good!    “Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.”   - Romans 4:4 (NKJV)

What is covering you?    “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.”  - Psalm 91:4 (NKJV)

"Called, Renewed, and Empowered" Here is the NKJV scripture to go with the message! *** 2 Peter 1:1-9 (printable) ***And the Blue Letter Bible version: *** 2 Peter 1:1-9 (web) *** And the Notes!

Friday, 22 August 2025   A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. Matthew 12:35   “The good man, from the good treasure of the heart, he ejects good, and the evil man, from the evil treasure, he ejects evil” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus called the Pharisees vipers' offspring, telling them that from the surplus of the heart, the mouth speaks. He next explains the result of that, saying, “The good man, from the good treasure of the heart, he ejects good.”   The word ekballo, to cast out or eject, is used. It is more forceful than “bring out,” such as in the NKJV. The meaning then is that the goodness of a good man wells up inside him until the point where goodness simply exudes from him, being ejected under its own pressure.   The words here show us that Jesus' words in Matthew 9:17 are a comparative statement intended to make a point. In responding to being called “Good Teacher,” Jesus said –   “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”   Jesus was making a comparison of goodness in relation to God. Likewise, Jesus is here making a comparison between people. One is good in relation to others. Because he is, good things will be ejected from him.   This is certainly a comparative statement, because even a good person can get frustrated or fed up, and something not so good will come out of his mouth. However, his character in general is one that demonstrates an inherent goodness in relation to others. Likewise, Jesus says, “and the evil man, from the evil treasure, he ejects evil.”   This is a person who is comparatively evil. The things that come out of such people, welling up and being ejected into their regular conversation, will be evil. But even such “evil” people can say something nice. Jesus is referring to their general character.   To get the sense of such a person, all one needs to do is turn on the TV and watch people arguing from a political standpoint. Those on the left will spew forth invectives, call out for illegal activities to be condoned, rage against goodness while embracing those who do truly wicked things, etc.   To them, morality is defined by theft and murder, not hard work and self-sufficiency. Those who pray to God are an offense who must be silenced. Because of their character, evil proceeds from them like a well under pressure. In opening their mouths to speak, the evil gushes forth.   Life application: In Luke 6:45, the same words are spoken by Jesus in His sermon to the people, but there are differences –   Matthew - “The good man, from the good treasure of the heart, he ejects [ekballo] good, and the evil man, from the evil treasure, he ejects [ekballo] evil.”   Luke - “The good man, from the good treasure of his heart, he hauls [propheró] good, and the evil, from the evil hauls [propheró] the evil. For from the heart's surplus, it speaks – his mouth.”   In Matthew, different words concerning the motion of what is in the heart are used. One says to eject while the other uses a word meaning to bear forward. A good single word to get the intent would be to haul. Also, in Matthew, the thought about the heart's abundance came in the preceding verse, whereas Luke places it afterwards.   Other slight variations in the Greek exist as well. So the question may be asked, “Which is the original and which one has an error?” Or the statement may be made, “See, there is a contradiction in the two accounts.”   When you are faced with such a question or statement, how will you respond? A suitable explanation is that both can be correct. This could be for various reasons. The first is that it is assumed that Jesus was originally speaking in Aramaic. Different people will write what they heard in Greek in different ways.   Likewise, the change in order of what is said may be a part of that translation process. Therefore, such changes would be expected. But what if the person says, “But even the context of what is said is different! One is to the Pharisees and one during a sermon!”   Is this a contradiction? Not at all! How many times have you repeated a point that is true in your life? Jesus was preaching and proclaiming. He probably stated the same truth innumerable times that are not recorded, along with those that are.   He may have changed the structure of His words, chosen different words, and spoken these things in a multitude of contexts. If the narratives were identical, those who want to tear apart the Bible would (and do!) say that the accounts were simply copies and the events belong to one source. Thus, there are not three different testimonies to Jesus' work.   If they have any differences, the accusation that there are contradictions immediately arises. Don't let such things bother you. Be prepared to show these people the folly of their thinking. From there, drop the argument. Some people wouldn't be content if God spoke the word of Scripture personally.   Wait... He did!   “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16, 17   Lord God, we trust that You have given us a word that carries Your intent for us to know and understand what You desire for us. Help us to be diligent in reading it and contemplating it all the days of our lives. To Your glory, we pray. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF ANGELSIn this video, our global lead pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, teaches that the word Sabaoth means “The Lord of Hosts” or “The Lord of the angel armies.” (Isaiah 47:4, Isaiah 44:6 NKJV). But what does this truly mean for us as believers?In this teaching, he teaches about the reality of angels-their nature, roles, and the truths that separate them from common myths.KEY HIGHLIGHTS:Who are angels? - Angels are spiritual beings often depicted as messengers or intermediaries between the divine and humanity.- Angels attend to the needs of God's people.What to Know About Angels:- They are higher in abilities than humans, not higher in ranking than humans.- They are greater in power and might. 2nd Peter 2:11 (NKJV)He also teaches on Myths about Angels:- Angels are immortal.- People become angels when they die- We worship angels- You can't toss your angels to and froTypes of Angels:1. Archangels Jude 1:9 (NKJV)2. Cherubim 1st Kings 6:23-33 (NKJV): Cherubs are guardians of sacred spaces. Ii. They are the bearers of God's glory. Iii. They reflect the Holiness and the majesty of God.3. Seraphims mean the burning ones...Zechariah 3:6- (NKJV)Pastor Shola wraps up the teaching by indicating that whenever you are in God's plans and purpose for your life, your angels are activated to act.——ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

A – About: This passage is about God commanding Judah and the surrounding nations to submit to the rule of Babylon, because He Himself had given Nebuchadnezzar authority. False prophets were spreading lies, but Jeremiah faithfully declared God's hard truth. B – Best Verse: "Therefore do not listen to your prophets…for they prophesy a lie to you" (Jeremiah 27:14, NKJV). C – Call to Action: We are called to trust God's Word even when it is hard, reject false teaching, and submit to His truth, knowing Christ's yoke is easy and His burden is light.

That makes zero sense.    “You shall have no other gods before me.”  - Exodus 20:3 (NKJV) 

Romans 12:6-11 New Living Translation   6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. 9 Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection and take delight in honoring each other. 11 Never be lazy but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.

John 14:27 (TPT) “I leave the gift of peace with you—MY PEACE. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but My perfect peace. Don't yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!” NKJV, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Mike used to avoid me at neighborhood parties because he wasn't interested in spiritual things. But when Mike was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, I visited him and shared the Gospel, and he accepted Christ. Everything about Mike radically changed from that day. If you asked what happened to him, I could tell you in one word: conversion. But what in the world is conversion? It's a term you had better know and experience because Jesus said, “… unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3, NKJV). So we need to ask ourselves, “Have I ever truly been converted, and what does ‘conversion' mean?” There's no greater story of complete conversion than the Apostle Paul's Damascus Road experience— the most famous conversion in history, explained three times in Acts and occupying more space in the New Testament than any event except Christ's crucifixion. While conversions aren't one-size-fits-all, there are three common marks found in everyone who is truly converted.

Money can stir a host of emotions—gratitude, stress, hope, and guilt. In our daily prayer and devotional, Christine F. Perry shares a personal story of navigating unexpected expenses and the conviction she felt when she paid bills before giving her tithe. Her honesty invites us to reflect on our financial habits and where our hearts truly lie when it comes to money. Scripture is clear that our resources belong to God, and He calls us to steward them with wisdom and faithfulness. Tithing is more than a rule—it’s a spiritual act of surrender and trust. When we give God our “first fruits,” we acknowledge His provision and sovereignty over all areas of our lives. Today's Verses for Meditation: Psalm 24:1 (NKJV) – “The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.”Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV) – “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth…”

As we witness a growing hunger for spiritual truth in our culture, we have to ask—are we on the edge of another Jesus Revolution? Pastor Greg Laurie shares why he believes we just might be. Notes: Focus verse - Nehemiah 9 Could this be the start of another spiritual awakening? The objective of proclamation evangelism is to clearly preach the gospel and invite people to Christ. Isaiah 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? Acts 2:17 (NLT) 'In the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.’ Psalm 85:6 (NLT)Won't you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? Younger men are more likely to become Christians than younger women. Is this another national spiritual awakening? I hope and pray it is. Gen Z has the highest suicide rate of any generation. Teens regularly use AI companions instead of human interaction. The only hope for this generation is Jesus and, for that matter, any generation. #1 In the US we have had four great spiritual awakenings.The first one happened in America before we were a nation in 1740. George Whitfield’s preaching drew massive crowds. The first Great Awakening didn’t just change hearts, it helped shape the moral DNA of the United States. America is exceptional. America is unique.America has been established by God. George Washington was quick to give credit to God for his success on the battlefield. #2 The second Great Awakening occurred during 1790s to 1840s and was led by many, including Charles Finney. #3 The third Great Awakening in America was from about 1857–1859.This revival began when a 48-year-old businessman namedJeremiah Lanphier began a prayer meeting on Fulton Street in New York City. “Revival is the rekindling of a flame, and when the fire is lit,it doesn’t just warm the church—it lights up the world!” —David Jeremiah #4 The fourth Great Awakening was the Jesus Movement. #1 Revival is coming back to life. Revival is refreshment; it’s restoration; it’s returning to original condition. Psalm 80:19 (ESV) Restore us, O LORD God! Let your face shine, that we may be saved! A revival is when God’s people come back to life again. A spiritual awakening is what America needs. Revival is what the church needs. Revelation 2:4–5 (NKJV) "…you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works,” #2 Revival is waking from sleep. It’s turning from sin. God’s prescription for revival or restoration is in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Read Nehemiah 9:1–4 (NLT) #3 If we want to see revival, we must pray with passion. Matthew 15:22 (NLT)"Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is possessed by a demon…" We need to pray like early church prayed for Peter to be delivered from prison.Acts 12:5 Fervent means displaying passionate intensity. #4 If you want to see revival, you must confess your sins. We all have sins to confess each and every day. 1 John 1:8 (NKJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. A sin of commission is doing what you should not do.A sin of omission is not doing what you should do.James 4:17 #5 They separated themselves from ungodly influences. #6 They heard God’s word, and they acted on it. The Bible is our model for how we ought to think and to live. John 15:14 (KJV)You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. God told Joshua the secret to success.Joshua 1:7 (NLT) #7 Revival always leads to evangelism. The evidence of revival is a changed community. Acts 2:41 (NIV) Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. John 4:35 (NIV)“I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” New believers need older believers to stabilize them.Older believers need new believers to energize them. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
