My friend Shana Reif suffered from Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and other organs. It causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the airways, leading to repeated infections, inflammation, and progressive lung damage. In many cases, the disease can advance until the lungs can no longer do what God created them to dobring oxygen into the body and sustain life. Cystic Fibrosis is a horrible and incurable disease, and it was the disease Shana endured all her life. When she was born, her parents were told she would not live much past her twentieth birthday. But Shana lived to be thirty-two. I came to know Shana in high school, not long after I became a follower of Jesus. After high school, we became very close friends. She edited my Bible college papers, and I visited her often during her many hospital stays. I also visited her at home as she recovered from the latest infection. By 2003, her lungs had been so damaged by chronic infections that she was placed on the waiting list for new lungs. She received a double lung transplant in 2004, but even then, her suffering did not fully end. Her body remained fragile. Her fight continued. But Shana loved Jesus. Though she struggled deeply with her disease, she held onto the hope of the gospel. One of the last emails I received from her was signed with words from her favorite hymn: Great is Thy faithfulness. In 2007, Shana died from complications after a procedure to reopen a constricted airway. When someone you love suffers like that, the question How long? is not theoretical. How long will disease ravage bodies? How long will death take those we love? How long will Gods people suffer in a world still broken by sin? How long before Christ makes all things new? Revelation 6:911 brings us to that question. But here, the cry comes specifically from those who have been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they maintained. The Martyrs: The Cost of Their Witness (v. 9) There are three cycles of judgment in Revelation: the seals, the trumpets, and the bowls. These cycles do not unfold in strict linear successionseals, then trumpets, then bowlsbut recapitulate the same period of history with increasing intensity, like birth pains. For our purposes, I simply want you to notice one pattern that helps us understand what is happening in this passage. In each cyclethe seals, trumpets, and bowlsthe first four judgments affect the world in broad, visible ways, but the fifth shifts the focus. The fifth seal shows the saints crying out for justice (Rev. 6:911). The fifth trumpet shows judgment beginning to fall on the enemies of Godthose who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads (Rev. 9:112; especially 9:4). The fifth bowl shows judgment reaching the very throne of the beast, whose kingdom wages war against all who refuse to worship him (Rev. 16:1011; cf. Rev. 13:78, 15). This is why the first four seals show us the horsemen riding across the earth. But when the fifth seal is opened, the focus shifts from what is happening on earth to what heaven sees when Gods people suffer because of the word of God and the testimony they maintain. These martyrs are not beneath the altar because they were victims of history. They are there because they belonged to the Lamb and remained faithful to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. Their witness cost them their lives. John is showing us what Jesus had already told His disciples: If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me (Matt. 16:24; NASB). The fifth seal reminds us that following Jesus is not merely a call to believe certain truths about Him; it is a call to bear faithful witness to those truths, even when obedience is costly. Polycarp is said to have been a disciple of the apostle John and later became the bishop of Smyrna. Smyrna, you may remember, was one of the seven churches Jesus addressed in Revelation. Jesus told that suffering church, Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life (Rev. 2:10). Years later, Polycarp was arrested and ordered to deny Christ. When pressed to renounce Jesus, he replied, Eighty and six years have I served Him, and He never did me any injury: how then can I blaspheme my King and my Saviour? Polycarps witness cost him his life, but heaven did not see his death as Rome did. Rome saw a criminal to be silenced. Heaven saw a faithful witness beneath the altar. And we do not have to go back to Polycarp to see this kind of witness. You may remember the twenty-one Coptic Christians who were taken by ISIS in Libya and led onto a beach in orange jumpsuits. They were ordinary men who refused to renounce their faith in Jesus. Their blood was shed on earth, but Revelation 6 reminds us that heaven did not miss a drop. The world saw men being led to execution. Heaven saw faithful witnesses beneath the altar. Since 2015, conservative estimates suggest that more than 50,000 Christians have been killed for faith-related reasons around the world. According to Open Doors 2026 World Watch List, North Korea remains the most dangerous country in the world to be a Christian, while Nigeria is the deadliest, accounting for 3,490 of the 4,849 Christians killed for their faith during the latest reporting period. The seals describe the birth pains that mark this present age. The first four seals show us a world marked by conquest, war, famine, and death. But when the fifth seal is opened, we are shown what heaven sees when Gods people suffer because of the word of God and the testimony they maintain. The Altar: The Cry Before God (v. 10) Notice that John not only tells us that these faithful Christ-followers suffered and died for their faith, but also tells us where he saw these Christians. They are under the altar. This is a crucial detail that you can only understand if you know something about the Old Testament tabernacle that God told Moses to build. Scripture tells us that the earthly tabernacle was a copy and shadow of the one in heaven (Heb. 8:4-5; Exod. 25-31; 35-40). So when John sees an altar in heaven, he is not seeing something new, but the heavenly reality to which Israels worship had always pointed. Within the tabernacle, there were two primary altars. The bronze altar stood in the courtyard, where sacrifices were offered. The altar of incense stood near the Most Holy Place, close to the ark of the covenant, which represented the throne of God. Both altars help us understand what John sees. The blood of the sacrifice was poured at the altars base, and the incense rising before the Lord symbolized the prayers of Gods people ascending into His presence. So when John sees the souls of the martyrs beneath the altar, he sees their lives as precious before God and their prayers as heard before His throne. In the earthly tabernacle, a veil stood between the priests and God's immediate presence. But in heaven, no curtain hides His throne from His redeemed people. The martyrs are not far from God. They are beneath the altar, before the throne, and in the presence of the Lord God Almighty. Now, picture what is happening before Johns eyes. Those who suffered the ultimate cost for following Jesus are not behind the altar, nor are they on top of the altar. These saints are under the altar, which tells us that they are closest to the throne. Also, the martyrs are not passive, but are actively pleading for vindication in Gods heavenly court. There is no magical language here, for their cries are raw and honest. There is no anger hurled before God, but cries of vindication in light of their understanding of who God is! Notice what these dear saints include in their prayer: O Sovereign Lord, holy and true... Now lets stop there for a moment. The ESV translates the word well asSovereign Lord.The Greek word used here is not the most common term for Lord,kyrios, butdespotēs, and this is the only time it appears in the entire book of Revelation. The word these martyred saints use conveys absolute ownership, supreme authority, and sovereign mastery. We get our English worddespotfrom this word, but whiledespotusually carries a negative meaning in English, that is not the case whendespotēs is used of God in the New Testament. When used of God, it emphasizes His complete authority over creation, His servants, history, judgment, and justice. This matters because these Christians are not merely crying out to God as sufferers, asking whether He cares. They are crying out to the One they know to be the Sovereign Master over all things. They are appealing to the One who has the authority to judge, avenge, vindicate, and bring history to its appointed end. They are not crying out in doubt. They are crying out in faith. They know He is able. They know He is holy. They know He is true. And they know that the Sovereign Lord will do what is right. Notice what the saints attribute to God next. Not only is He the Sovereign Master, but He is holy. These saints who have suffered much understand that their God is utterly set apart from all evil, corruption, compromise, and injustice. He is not like the kingdoms and the kings of this world. He is not indifferent to injustice and the bloodshed at the hands of the wicked. He is not morally conflicted. He is pure in all His judgments, righteous in all His ways, and completely opposed to everything wicked. He is holy and these saints know it! God is not only holy; He is also true. When these saints plead their case before the throne of God, they do so knowing that He is faithful to all He has promised. He does not forget. He does not make empty threats or hollow promises. What He has spoken, He will do (Num. 23:19; Josh. 21:45; Isa. 55:1011; Titus 1:2; Heb. 10:23). So when these martyrs cry, How long? they are not questioning Gods goodness, nor are they doubting that He will keep His word. They are asking when the God who is holy and true will act in perfect faithfulness to His word and to those He has promised never to forsake (Deut. 31:6; Heb. 13:5; Rev). The breaking of the fifth seal and the prayer of these suffering saints teach us an important truth about how we can and should pray. They pray from their understanding of who God truly is. This is the kind of thing we read about in Daniel 11:32: ...the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. These saints know their God, and so they cry out, O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth? This prayer is not a contradiction of Jesus command to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matt. 5:44). It is a plea to the holy and true God to judge evil, vindicate His people, and set the world right. Their cry is rooted in the justice of God, knowing that His Word teaches that vengeance belongs to Him and not to His people (Deut. 32:35; Rom. 12:19). The martyrs beneath the altar are asking God to do what only God has the right and authority to do. The Throne: The Completion of Gods Purpose (v. 11) Now, notice what happens next. God responds, meaning He heard their prayer. But He does not respond as we might initially expect. The God who is sovereign, holy, and true responds by giving these Christians white robes as a sign of honor, purity, and vindication. These robes signify the righteousness that is theirs because of Jesus. When we see this great multitude again in Revelation 7, we are told, They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb (Rev. 7:14). These martyred saints represent every faithful witness who has been slain for the word of God and the testimony they upheldfrom the earliest martyrs of the church to our brothers and sisters suffering for Christ today. They are not treated as victims of random violence but as saints who belong to Christ and whose witness is precious before God. God responds by giving them white robes and telling them to do the thing we all hate: wait. Verse 11 says they were told to rest a little longer. That word, rest, matters. God is not dismissing their cry. He is not ignoring their suffering. He is calling them to rest in His presence, assured that perfect justice will come in His appointed time and in His sovereign way. Why must they wait? Because other Christians will suffer as they did, and they must wait until their number is complete. This means Gods justice is not delayed because He is indifferent. It is delayed because His purpose is not yet complete. There are still more witnesses to be gathered, more saints to be strengthened, and more glory to be given to Christ through the faithful endurance of His people. Gods answer to their prayer was to wait a little while longer. Conclusion My friend Shana frequently asked the same question you may have asked more than you can count: How long O Sovereign Lord, holy and true... It is the plea of the suffering. Shana was not a martyr, she was not killed by persecutors because of the word of God. She died on the operating table due to complications at the hands of surgeons who were trying to ease her suffering. Let me tell you what Shana did know. She knew what it meant to suffer in a world that is still waiting for Christ to make all things new. She knew what it meant to groan. She knew what it meant to wait. She knew what it meant to hope. I know that God used her life to encourage and strengthen the faith of others. Revelation 6:9-11 teaches us that we need not pretend the pain we experience is small. We need not pretend injustice does not matter. We need not pretend that death is natural. We can cry How long and do so in faith, not despair. We can cry it to the Sovereign Lord, who is holy and true. The Lamb who opens the fifth seal, is the Lamb who sees the suffering of His people. He honors the witness of His redeemed. He gives those who follow Him rest. The Lamb who died for you, is the Lord who will bring His purpose to completion for His glory and for your good! So, my dear brothers and sisters, we wait. But we do not wait as people forgotten by the One who sits upon the throne. We wait as those who belong to the Lamb. We wait as those whose lives are precious before the One on the throne. And we wait with confidence that the One who is sovereign, holy, and true will do exactly what He has promised. We can trust Him to do what is good and right because that is who He is.

What a gift.  A gift that is meant to be shared.  The Living Waters that Jesus refers to sharing with others in John 7 is the Holy Spirit that has been placed inside of us at our baptisms.  Again, what a gift, but a gift not to keep to ourselves.  In verse 38 Jesus says, “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘ Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'” These Living Waters are the Holy Spirit in our hearts.  Gifts like love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and gentleness, all gifts of the Holy Spirit are to flow over out of our hearts for others and into others.  Jesus says in verse 37 “Whoever” believes in me.  The gift of the Holy Spirit and the Living Waters that flow out of our hearts are for ALL people.  Num. 11:24–30 Acts 2:1–21 John 7:37–39

Guided Question What can we learn from Israel's failures in the wilderness so that we do not end up in the “loser's locker room” of the Christian life? Summary In this message, Pastor Robert Lewis contrasts the “winner's locker room” of faithful living with the sobering reality of the “loser's locker room,” where Israel's failures serve as a warning for us today. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10, he highlights how privilege and a good beginning are not enough to guarantee a faithful finish. Israel's story reveals four “tombstones” that brought them low—idolatry, immorality, testing God, and rebellion—each of which still threatens believers today. Lewis also distills three broader lessons: loving God requires rejecting the world, God takes obedience seriously, and a good start doesn't assure a strong finish. The sermon ends with a challenge: will we follow Israel's path of defeat, or will we make the spiritual resolutions necessary to walk in victory and enter God's promised rest? Outline I. The Warning of Israel's Example (1 Cor. 10:1–6) Israel had great spiritual privileges (deliverance, leadership, provision). Despite this, most were “laid low in the wilderness.” Their failures serve as an indelible warning for us. II. Four Tombstones in the Wilderness (1 Cor. 10:7–10) Idolatry (v. 7; Ex. 32) Replacing God with false priorities. Our modern idols often involve time, attention, and misplaced devotion. Immorality (v. 8; Num. 25) Sexual sin destroys lives and relationships. God takes purity seriously; immorality disqualifies many from usefulness. Testing God (v. 9; Num. 21) Living on the edge of rebellion, daring God's patience. Gal. 6 reminds us we reap what we sow. Rebellion (v. 10; Num. 16) Grumbling against God-given leadership. Refusal to submit leads to spiritual poverty. III. General Lessons from Israel's Wilderness (vv. 11–12) Loving God means rejecting the world (1 Jn. 2:15). God takes obedience seriously—His Word leaves us without excuse. A good beginning does not guarantee a good ending—take heed lest you fall. IV. The Final Call (Heb. 4:1) Are you in God's promised land, or still wandering in the wilderness? Today is the time to make spiritual resolutions that ensure victory. Key Takeaways Privilege without obedience leads to downfall. Idolatry, immorality, testing God, and rebellion remain real dangers for Christians. Loving God requires letting go of “Egypt”—the world and its cravings. Obedience is not optional; it is essential to finishing well. A faithful start does not guarantee a faithful finish—humility and vigilance are required. Scripture References 1 Corinthians 10:1–12 – Israel's failures as warnings. Exodus 32 – The golden calf (idolatry). Numbers 25:1–9 – Israel's immorality and judgment. Numbers 21:4–9 – Testing God with complaints. Numbers 16 – Korah's rebellion. Hebrews 13:4 – God's standard for sexual purity. Proverbs 6:32 – The destruction of adultery. Galatians 6:7–8 – Reaping what is sown. Hebrews 13:17 – Following godly leadership. 1 John 2:15 – Loving God vs. loving the world. Hebrews 4:1 – Warning against falling short of God's rest. Recorded 1/3/82

Does oral sex count as sex? Can you slap a guy if he gropes you? Why didn't Jesus ever get married?In this episode, we answer some of the most awkward, controversial, and honestly fascinating questions Christians secretly wonder about when it comes to sex, relationships, faith, cheating, gaslighting, and marriage.Nothing is off limits.Some of these questions made us laugh. Some got very serious very quickly. And some are the kinds of questions most Christians think about but are too nervous to ask out loud.We'll talk about:What is actually happening when you “get the ick”Whether oral sex counts as sex and what the Bible says about sexual boundariesWhat grace really means and why it is not permission to keep sinningHow to recognize and respond to gaslightingHow to love someone who believes God hates them because they are gayWhether God chooses your spouse and how much weight to give prophetic wordsWhether it is okay to physically defend yourself if someone crosses a boundaryWhy Jesus never got married even though God said it's not good for man to be aloneHow to know when cheating should lead to divorce versus reconciliationWhether you have to take your husband's last nameThis episode is honest, biblical, practical, and definitely not surface level.If you've ever had a question you felt too embarrassed to ask at church, this conversation is for you.Let's talk about it

TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01759 – 9 de maio de 2026 Lucas 21:2 – Viu também uma viúva pobre colocar duas pequeninas moedas de cobre. Uma pequena alegoria salienta a importância das pequenas coisas. No estúdio, o artista afastou a cortina e o sol iluminou um vitral inacabado. Na parte inferior do vitral, via-se um ambiente florido, crianças olhavam e sorriam. Acima das crianças, achava-se a figura incompleta de um homem. Ao colocar os pedacinhos de vidro na obra, o artista dizia consigo mesmo: “Tenho que fazer isto da melhor maneira possível. Preciso mostrar aos outros meu amor por Cristo. Se conseguir colocar em Sua expressão tudo aquilo que imagino, ficarei contente.” Num montão de aparas de vidros e pequenos pedaços de metal, havia um pedacinho de vidro. Ele estava desanimado consigo mesmo: “Pensei que fosse fazer parte do vitral. E agora estou aqui, jogado no meio deste material. Parece que não tenho nenhum valor mesmo. Vou me esforçar o melhor que puder e se o sol vier para o meu cantinho, melhor ainda.” De repente, houve agitação no estúdio. Parecia que o artista estava procurando alguma coisa. O pedacinho de vidro escutava ele falar: “Não posso terminar sem ele. Era um pedacinho pequeno, mas muito importante. Onde será que ele está? Ele é imprescindível para eu terminar o vitral.” O pedacinho de vidro pensou: “Será que sou eu?” Com um grito de alegria, o pedacinho de vidro foi tirado do montão de restos de vidro e de metal. Ao ser colocado no vitral, tornou-se um dos olhos de Cristo. Temos um lugar no bonito vitral de Deus. Onde quer que nos encontremos, por pequenos que sejamos, Ele nos usará para mostrar a beleza de Cristo. Jesus não passou por alto a oferta da viúva, que “colocou duas pequeninas moedas de cobre, de muito pouco valor” (Mc 12:42). Embora a oferta fosse pequena, ela deu tudo o que possuía. Na parábola dos talentos, o senhor diz: “Muito bem, servo bom e fiel! Você foi fiel no pouco, eu o porei sobre o muito. Venha e participe da alegria do seu senhor!” (Mt 25:21). Não espere até receber um convite para fazer um grande trabalho para Deus. Seja fiel e brilhe no cantinho em que você está. “É a conscienciosa atenção ao que o mundo chama de ‘pequenas coisas' que torna a vida um sucesso. Pequenas ações de caridade, pequenos atos de abnegação, proferir singelas palavras de ajuda, […] isto é cristianismo” (Exaltai-O [MM 1992], p. 347). Pratique isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Por favor, Pai, que eu seja a luz para aquele que está em trevas. Que eu leve palavras de esperança ao desesperançado. Que eu seja útil para alguém hoje. Por favor. Em nome de Jesus, amém!

15:2 Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge- The words that Job uses are not typical of a wise man. Eliphaz will hit Job with a barrage of questions. And fill himself with the east wind? The east wind comes off the desert and produces great discomfort (Jonah 4:8), destruction of crops (Gen. 41:6, 23, 27; Ezek. 17:10; 19:12), the tearing apart of ships (Ps. 48:7; Ezek. 27:26), brings locusts (Ex. 10:13), and is a picture of judgment (Job 27:21; Jer. 18:17; Hos. 13:15).Bildad in 8:2 and Zophar in 11:2 speak in a similar way to what Eliphaz says here. Job did describe his words this way in 6:26. Job will describe their words the same way in 16:2-3. The word translated himself is sometimes translated belly (KJV, ESV, NIV, NET) (Jud. 3:21, 22; Job 20:15, 23) or abdomen (Num. 5:21, 22, 27) or even womb (Gen. 25:23-24; 30:2; 38:27; Job 1:21; 3:10-11). This word is also used in vs. 35. Since this was believed to be the seat of emotions therefore Eliphaz accuses Job of speaking more from the standpoint of emotion than intellect.  15:3 Should he argue with useless talk- The word argue was prominent in Job's last speech- 13:3, 10, 10, 15.Or with words which are not profitable?- This word profitable is used in texts where the people pursue idols that could not profit (Isa. 30:5-6; 44:9-10; 57:12; Jer. 2:8, 11; 7:8; 12:13; 16:19; 23:32). Job's words are empty and unprofitable as idols.  15:4 Indeed, you do away with reverence- The word you is emphatic as Eliphaz describes what Job is doing. It is Job, not God, who is in the wrong. The verb do away is the same Hebrew word translated frustrates in 5:12 in which God frustrates the plotting of the shrewd. It is a word that often speaks of covenant breaking (Gen. 17:14; Lev. 26:15, 44; Num. 15:31; Deut. 31:16, 20; Judges 2:1; Ps. 119:126). The LORD uses it of Job in 40:8 saying that Job seeks to annul (NASB) or nullify the LORD's justice. The word reverence is the root word used in 1:1, 8; 2:3 as the text talks about Job as one who fears God. (Also see Job 4:6; 22:4; 28:28; Ps. 111:10; Prov. 1:7; 9:10). Particularly striking is the contrast between this verse and 4:6. In 4:6 Eliphaz seems to acknowledge Job's piety while in 15:4 he says that Job himself undermines it.  Job has questioned God's justice and sought to call Him to court. These indeed are striking words. 15:5 And you choose the language of the crafty- In 5:12 it was difficult to tell if Eliphaz put Job in the company of those who are crafty, but there is no doubt here. The word crafty can be used more positively as prudent (Prov.12:16, 23; 13:16; 14:8,15, 18; 22:3; 27:12), but the context demands a more negative use. It is the same word used of the serpent in Gen. 3:1.

Making fun of a bald man ends up with a massacre by the paws of she-bears...huh?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie continue through their Strange Scriptures series and talk through 2 Kings 2, looking at the young men who were mauled by she-bears for mocking Elisha's bald head. This passage is stated fairly matter-of-factly and seems like a crazy story to just gloss over. We dig through the context around this passage to find deeper reasonings behind such an imminent judgment on these young fools in 2 Kings.The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

Filipa Pinto esteve em destaque no programa Alta Definição, numa conversa em que a atriz revelou, com transparência, o percurso de saúde mental que a acompanhou desde a adolescência. A intérprete, conhecida pelo papel da antagonista Sandra na novela Páginas da Vida, descreveu com detalhe o impacto do seu primeiro desgosto amoroso aos 15 anos, episódio que despoletou um processo de autoconhecimento e a levou a procurar apoio psicológico pela primeira vez. Mais tarde, aos 24 anos, viria a ser diagnosticada com perturbação obsessivo-compulsiva, diagnóstico que, paradoxalmente, trouxe consigo um sentimento de alívio. “Ter o diagnóstico final, para mim, foi um grande alívio, porque foi um ‘ok, isto acontece, isto existe, aquilo que eu sinto tem uma associação, tem uma justificação, há sintomas, não sou única, não estou sozinha, há um tratamento, portanto há solução’”, afirmou a atriz, sublinhando a importância de nomear aquilo que se sente como primeiro passo para a recuperação. Ao longo da conversa, a atriz abordou também a resistência inicial à medicação e o caminho que percorreu até a aceitar como parte integrante do seu tratamento, reconhecendo que essa decisão lhe permitiu tornar-se uma versão mais funcional e presente de si mesma. A atriz defendeu com convicção a necessidade de quebrar o estigma em torno da saúde mental. “Eu nunca recusei ajuda; pelo contrário, sempre procurei. Primeiro aos meus amigos, depois à família, depois, se eu precisasse de ajuda psicológica ou mesmo psiquiátrica, eu avançava. Eu só não queria estar sozinha”, confidenciou. Num momento de rara serenidade, Filipa Pinto encerrou a entrevista com uma mensagem dirigida à versão mais frágil de si própria: a certeza de que “o mal não dura para sempre” e de que existe “uma luz ao fundo do túnel”.

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God's presence. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination.  Psalm 9:10 ESV “And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.” “LORD” in all uppercase letters in our English Bibles indicates that in Hebrew God's name, Yahweh, is used (Exodus 3:14-15; Isaiah 42:8). Yahweh is the ancient Hebrew verb form for “HE IS.” God's name, Yahweh, is used more than any other term for God by far in the Hebrew scriptures. Well over 5,000 times — far more than “God” is used.  When we look at all the various truths associated with God's name, HE IS, in the Hebrew scriptures (what we call the Old Testament), five powerful truths of Yahweh are emphasized.  HE IS the Creator and Sustainer of ALL that exists, including this entire universe (Ps 33:6; Isa 40:25-28; Isa 42:5; Isa 44:24). HE IS the Giver and Sustainer of ALL life everywhere always (Num 27:16; Job 12:10; Neh 9:6). HE IS eternal and forever God – he inhabits eternity (Isa 57:15; Isa 40:28). HE IS ALWAYS infinitely 100% present with you and in control of everything in your life at every moment (Ps 31:14-15; Psalm 139:1-8; without being any less present or any less focused anywhere else in the universe, because HE IS infinite). See Jesus's words in Matthew 10:29-31.“ HE IS good and his steadfast love endures forever.” (Most repeated phrase in the OT.) So imagine – envision – this reality. He is the Creator of this entire universe; he is the Source of all being; he is the Giver of your life and sustains your life at every moment; he is the one who “inhabits eternity” (Isaiah 57:15), and so has the eternal perspective in all your life's circumstances; and he is infinitely, intimately, 100% present with you at every moment and in control of every circumstance in your life. And he is good and his steadfast love for you endures forever. Who can you share this podcast with?

Why do our first reactions so often look nothing like Jesus, even though we love Him and know His Word? In this sermon, we explore how Scripture and brain science together reveal God's strategy for true transformation—from the inside out.Drawing from passages like Psalm 27:8, Ezekiel 36:27, Leviticus 20:7–8, and 2 Corinthians 4:6, we see that Christlike character is not primarily built by sheer willpower or more information, but through God's joyful, relational presence—His “face” turned toward us (Num. 6:24–26; Ps. 16:11).Key themes covered in this message:Why your “automatic” reactions reveal your real character (Luke 6:43–45; Matt. 12:34)How the Bible describes transformation as God's presence sanctifying His people (Lev. 20:7–8; Ezek. 36:26–27; Phil. 2:12–13)The biblical idea of God's face as the source of joy and change (Gen. 4:16; Ex. 33:14; Ps. 16:11; Ps. 27:8; Num. 6:24–26)Why we will finally be like Jesus when we see Him “as He is” (1 John 3:2; 1 Cor. 13:12)How the Spirit reveals “the light of the knowledge of God's glory in the face of Christ” (2 Cor. 3:18; 2 Cor. 4:6)The role of the church as Christ's body in shaping our identity (Eph. 4:11–16; Rom. 12:4–5; John 13:34–35)Joy as relational “happy-to-be-with-you-ness,” not mere emotion (Phil. 4:4; John 15:9–11; Neh. 8:10)How isolation stunts growth and why suffering-with-others can form Christlike character (Heb. 10:24–25; Rom. 5:3–5; James 1:2–4; Gal. 6:2)Why identity is received in community, not self-constructed (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 2:20; 1 Pet. 2:9–10)The covenant love (ḥesed) of God as the model for our relationships (Ex. 34:6–7; Ps. 136; Mic. 6:8; John 15:12–13)This message calls us to move beyond a “half-brained” Christianity that focuses only on knowledge (1 Cor. 8:1–3) and into a whole-life discipleship shaped by joyful, covenant relationships—with God and with His people.If you're tired of reacting in ways you regret and long to truly become more like Jesus (Rom. 8:29; Col. 3:9–10), this sermon invites you to seek His face, step into Christ-centered community, and let God's presence reform who you are, not just what you do.
