Pastor Brian ponders the depths and implications of Acts 5:29 in Part 1 of "When Obedience to God Requires Resistance to Human Authorities"

In a world that tells you confidence comes from success, beauty, or validation—what if I told you that true, unshakable confidence is found in obedience? In this episode, I share how surrendering to God's will completely transformed how I see myself. I stopped seeking approval and started walking in authority. I found my identity, my value, and my power—not in what I do, but in who I belong to. If you've ever wrestled with insecurity, identity, or comparison, this message will free you. It's time to break up with the world's definition of confidence and embrace the boldness that comes from living obediently before God.#ObedienceOverImage #Godfidence #IdentityInChrist #MoreThanJustPretty #ConfidenceInGod #FaithJourney #ChristianWomanEmpowerment #PurposeOverPopularitySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/morethanjustpretty8749/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Episode SummaryIn this very special episode, Bobby Bosler shares an exciting announcement and a deeply personal journey of faith. Speaking from Matthew 14, he draws parallels between Peter's step out of the boat and the major life change God has led him and his family into — accepting the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist Church in Fairmont, West Virginia. Bobby testifies to God's guidance through uncertainty, showing how surrender and obedience open the door for God's miraculous provision and peace.Topics DiscussedStepping out in faith when God's leading feels impossibleThe story behind the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist ChurchHow God uses closed doors and lack of peace to redirect our stepsWrestling with calling, gifting, and identity in ministryEncouragement to follow God's call even when it requires major life changesKey TakeawaysGod's leading often requires taking a step into the impossible. Like Peter walking on water, faith demands stepping out based on God's command, not on visible certainty.Closed doors are part of God's guidance. The lack of peace about repairing or replacing the trailer was God's way of preparing the Bosler family for a completely new direction.Gifting doesn't limit God's calling. Even as an evangelist, Bobby discovered that God could use him to pastor and shepherd a local church, showing that God's calling often stretches us beyond our assumptions.Obedience leads to peace. When Bobby and his wife yielded to the possibility of pastoring, God flooded their hearts with undeniable peace and clarity.A big step of faith inspires others. Just like Peter's step inspired worship in the boat, your obedience can ripple out to encourage others to trust and follow Christ.

Pastor Donnie McClurkin shares a powerful and personal word about breaking generational curses and stepping into the fullness of God's promises.

With the prophetic declaration "It ends here," he calls us to introduce blessings to our bloodlines, stand firm in faith, and embrace a life led by God's truth. Key Lesson: You have the authority through Christ to end cycles of brokenness and begin a legacy of faith, healing, and abundance.

In this episode, Pastor Derek dives into Luke 8:1-21 and explore one of Jesus’ most well-known parables — the Parable of the Sower. But beyond the familiar imagery of seeds and soils, this passage offers profound truths about faith, obedience, and how we respond to the Gospel. Are we merely hearing, or are we truly listening? Are Christ’s words taking root in our hearts, or are distractions, doubts, and spiritual warfare choking them out? Join us as we unpack: Why Jesus emphasized hearing AND doing His Word The dangers of passive listening and shallow faith How the spiritual enemies of the world, flesh, and devil wage war against the Word in our lives What it looks like to cultivate "good soil" that bears lasting, spiritual fruit The role of partnership and obedience in spreading the Gospel Tune in and be challenged to not only hear Christ’s words but to let them transform you from the inside out.

Jürgen von Hagen joins Tim Bayly to discuss fruitfulness, natalism, and fertility demographics. From Malthus to Erlich to many contemporaries—for over two centuries—the prophets of doom have pleaded with mankind to abandon fruitfulness to survive. Modern man—and the Christian church—has only been too willing to obey those false prophets in direct contradiction to God's commands in the creation mandates. Jürgen and Tim discuss the conscious choice Christians should make to be counter-cultural or, in other words, obedient to God regarding fruitfulness. Are we willing to submit the fruitfulness of our marriage beds to God as an act of holiness?"God blessed them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth'" (Gen. 1:28).Some resources mentioned in the podcast:Malthus, An Essay on the Principle of PopulationErlich, The Population BombBricker & Ibbitson, Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population DeclineIsmail, The Age of Decay: How Aging and Shrinking Populations Could Usher in the Decline of CivilizationMurray, Principles of ConductPakaluk, Hannah's Children: The Women Quietly Defying the Birth Dearth ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

DEUTERONOMY 1

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture. From celebrity chaos to societal decay, it's clear—without God, the world spirals into total confusion and sin. We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ. Jesus is the only sane way forward, ladies and gentlemen.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-copy?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=tbs_thebiblestudy_searchads-nixwdmd&tw_source=google&tw_adid=608801073541&tw_campaign=17672311083&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC-_2dRN1WU6lhTaWFNApFgzBkVe_&gclid=CjwKCAiAwaG9BhAREiwAdhv6Y_Xc6w4LM7_4otTu1-XgzYjKKwhwbNBCdqLFVTDdXToND7Rt6JU2hBoC3hsQAvD_BwE

This is the moment to remember who we are, to ground ourselves in the story that stands in determined opposition to the story of tyranny. To tell of a God who cares about the vulnerable. To become again a people whose faith compels us to protect the frightened. 

In this video, we answer a viewer question about God emptying Himself. Philippians 2:7, a powerful verse that captures the humility and selflessness of Jesus Christ and teaches us how Jesus, though fully divine, chose to humble Himself, taking on the form of a servant and becoming human. *****Support This Channel*****Paypal: https://paypal.me/jimivision?locale.x=en_USMonthly Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JimivisionCash App: https://cash.app/$JimivisionVenmo: https://venmo.com/Jimmy-Cooper-17 Contact KenEmail: askbible4family@gmail.com Phone: 401-47-BIBLE https://www.bible4.family Mail To:Jimmy CooperJimivision MediaP.O.

"And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it,' when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left." —Isaiah 30:21 (ESV)Let me ask you something, Warriors: How often have you felt a quiet tug in your spirit, a soft whisper urging you in a specific direction? You're busy, the world is loud, and yet there it is—a subtle nudge, almost easy to dismiss. Could it be God speaking? Could it be His voice saying, “This is the way, walk in it”?Here's the thing about God's whispers—they're not always loud or obvious. Often, they're so gentle that they require us to quiet our hearts and truly lean in. God's guidance doesn't always come with neon signs or flashing arrows. Sometimes, it's as simple as a lingering thought, a feeling of peace when you consider a path, or even the words of a friend that align with what's stirring in your soul.But here's the catch: obedience to these whispers often challenges our comfort zones. It doesn't always make logical sense. Noah built an ark when there wasn't a cloud in the sky. David stood against a giant with nothing but a sling and a few stones. Each of these acts of obedience started with trusting the nudge of God's voice.When we respond to God's whispers, no matter how small the step seems, we're aligning ourselves with His purpose. It's like planting a seed; what seems insignificant today could grow into something extraordinary tomorrow.Question of the Day: What gentle nudge from God have you been hesitant to follow?Let's Pray:Lord, teach us to hear Your voice in the quiet moments. Help us to trust Your whispers, even when they challenge our understanding. Give us the courage to act in obedience, knowing that Your plans are far greater than our own. Amen.Let's get to work!My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode.

In the scriptures, we find a very important question. And the question is, Is God the one true God? Is the only god of the Jewish people? And the answer is, No, he is not. He is a God for humanity, and God has a plan of salvation, not just for Israel, but for all of humanity. He created all of humanity. Therefore He is the Lord, the master, over all human beings.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we must never forget that we've been bought with a price. Jesus gave His life, so we could live free from the chains of the past, and look forward to a promising future. A personal relationship with Christ means we're forgiven, and forgiveness brings liberty from bitterness, and a hope for all of our relationships. The post Life And Bible: Being A Christian Is Obedience To God – B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that obeying God is not an option. We've got to be willing to give Him our all, no matter what. It sounds radical, but we need to remember that God is for us and not against us. It's a love relationship, one that sets us free from the pain and sorrow of the past.

Christmas isn't just a season to celebrate—it's a season to declare the life-changing message of Jesus' birth!

When leaders step back, the enemy always steps in—don't leave your family vulnerable to spiritual attack. King Saul is dead. An arrow wounded him, and he took his life by falling on his own sword. Then this happened in 1 Samuel 31:7-10: And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley and those beyond the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. And the Philistines came and lived in them. The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. So they cut off his head and stripped off his armor and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines, to carry the good news to the house of their idols and to the people. They put his armor in the temple of Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan. — 1 Samuel 31:7-10 The fall of Saul was a catastrophic failure of leadership. The nation's first leader, chosen and anointed by God, was now lying dead, with his sons slain by him, and enemies were desecrating his body and legacy. In addition, the Philistines wasted no time capitalizing on his defeat. They cut off his head, stripped his body, paraded his armor as a trophy, and hung his remains in public humiliation. Nearby Israelites, seeing their king crushed, fled their homes, leaving entire cities to be occupied by the enemy. This should be a sober reminder of the importance of leadership and the consequences of its failure. Saul's perpetual disobedience and downward spiral left a devastating wake on everyone and humiliated the nation, and the enemy seized the opportunity to mock, defile, and advance their cause. While this was a catastrophic illustration, we see shadows of this type of failure today. One is the breakdown of spiritual leadership in the home. Speaking directly to the believing men listening today, when you, as a husband and father, neglect your God-given role to lead in the home, you leave yourself and your family vulnerable. Then, your wife and your children grow up without a strong spiritual foundation, leaving them susceptible to the enemy's lies about identity, purpose, and truth. It's not the church's responsibility to spiritually raise your family. It's your responsibility. Your passivity to obedience to God has the same effect as Saul's lack of spiritual leadership and disobedience to his family. This might be a graphic picture, but it is the truth. Someone is always discipling your family. If it's not you, it's Netflix, Disney, TikTok, and Snapchat, and they are very good at discipling your family. Then, one day, you look up to realize your family no longer believes in God; in addition, they act in defiance of God. Now you like Israel are looking at the devastation on Mount Gilboa. When we step back, the enemy steps in. Don't step back today! Step in! Step into spiritual leadership in your home, workplace, and community. One spiritual leader can make a home, workplace, church, and nation different forever. #LeadershipMatters #ObedienceToGod #FaithfulMen Ask This: Where are you most tempted to neglect spiritual leadership in your life? What would it take to step up today? Do This: Step in and step up in one place and one way today. Pray This: Father, help me to lead with integrity and faithfulness. Protect those I lead from the consequences of my failures, and guide me to always depend on You. Amen. Play This: War.

In this sermon, Pastor Josh McPherson delves into the role of Christian ethics in politics, examining biblical narratives where figures like Joseph, Daniel, and Esther influenced rulers and governments. Emphasizing that God's kingdom has a political dimension, Pastor Josh advocates for Christian involvement in politics as a means to resist policies that contradict biblical principles. He argues that sometimes obedience to God requires civil disobedience, especially when governing authorities impose ungodly mandates. He challenges believers to uphold moral values, resist conforming to secular pressures, and advocate for a society aligned with biblical teachings. Thanks for listening!
