This Sunday we'll begin Jonah: Lessons From a Reluctant Witness. We'll find out how Jonah is more than the guy who got swallowed by a fish. He's an example to us of what NOT to do when God gives you a mission. Discover the joy of saying "YES!" to God's mission for your life!

In this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart begin a new three-part series, Obedient Faith, with Noah's extraordinary response to God's command to build an ark. Noah acted on God's Word before there was visible evidence, enduring years of labor and ridicule while faithfully doing “according to all that God commanded him.” This lesson examines the faith required to obey when God's instructions appear unreasonable, the importance of complete rather than partial obedience, and why the long years between God's warning and His confirmation are never wasted. Noah reminds us that genuine faith does not wait for the rain before it starts building.

We may genuinely want to obey God, but wanting to obey and actually doing it are two different things. Psalm 40 shows us where to look when our obedience falls short.

Nature is broken, just ask any Tsunami you run into. When spoken to by Jesus, the wind and the waves obey Him.Are we then, as obedient as the wind and the waves? Listen 7 minutes and consider this with me.  Then share if I am right in my https://youtu.be/epcHX-4gEBoconclusion.

Most of us will never be famous. We will not write books of the Bible or plant churches across continents. But the story of Ananias in Acts 9 reminds us that ordinary faithfulness changes the course of history. Before Ananias obeyed, he made himself available. When God called his name, he answered simply: "Yes, Lord, here I am." He did not know the assignment. He did not know the cost. He just said yes.There would be no Apostle Paul without one ordinary disciple who showed up. God is still calling names today. The question is not whether he is calling. The question is whether we are available to hear him. Romans 5 tells us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. That same grace that welcomed Saul is the grace that welcomes us. May we wake up each day and say, Lord, today I am available.

AUG 2 | Who Is This King? | Mark 14:32-52 ...They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. “Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn't you keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.” Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him. The men seized Jesus and arrested him. Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.“Am I leading a rebellion,” said Jesus, “that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.” Then everyone deserted him and fled.A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

Remembering and Proclaiming Jesus What amazing words we just sung to help us remember and proclaim the cross, remember and proclaim Jesus. And now we’re going to follow Jesus’ command to remember and proclaim him by taking a piece of bread and a cup of juice. These things are not magical. They don’t make us right with God, but they point us to the one through whom we are made right with God. They’re physical reminders of Jesus and what he accomplished for us with his body and blood. We’re going to read part of Philippians 2, the same passage that Eric read for us earlier. Philippians 2, starting in verse 5, Paul writes: Have this way of thinking in yourselves, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although existing in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself by taking the form of a slave, by being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on the cross. The Heights from Which Christ Descended First, to understand Jesus’ humility, we have to look at how high he was, the heights from which he descended. Before Bethlehem, before creation, before time itself, Jesus, the Son, was and always has been God. Jesus didn’t begin at the manger. He had no beginning. He always has been the eternal Son. And yet, he did not use his equality with God to his own advantage. What this is saying is that he has always inherently possessed every right and all authority, but Jesus used his position for the good of those he came to save. Paul summarizes this when he says that Jesus emptied himself. Jesus didn’t empty himself of his godness. He didn’t lay aside any of his deity. Instead, Paul explains what emptying looks like. It looked like taking the form of a slave, being made in the likeness of man. The eternal Son became truly human without ceasing to be God. He became truly human and never sinned. The one whom angels worship became a man, took the form of a slave. This is the only place in the Bible where Jesus is described in those terms. Paul was grasping for what could be the lowest, most humble, most shameful class that he could describe. This great humbling that Jesus took, it’s more humbling than a king becoming a slave. It’s God the Son stooping from divine glory to live among us as a man. There could be no more humble act, it would seem. Obedient to Death on a Cross But look what Paul goes on to say. Jesus went lower still. He didn’t merely humble himself to become a man. He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death in the most humiliating manner possible, death on a cross. The one who commands creation obeyed his Father. The one who possesses life submitted to death. The death he died on the cross was painful, it was shameful, it was cursed. It was the death of slaves and rebels. Think of the one who died there, that kind of death. The highest one willingly went to the very lowest place to hang naked before a watching world, and even worse still, to be judged by God the Father for sins not his own. Why? Not because he lacked power or honor, but because he used his power to love and to save. He came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. At the cross, Jesus was numbered with the transgressors, though he wasn’t one. He had no sins of his own, but as he died there, he carried mine. He carried yours if you would trust in him. He bore our sins in his body on the tree. He became a curse for us. The wrath of God, the right wrath of God against my selfishness, my grumbling, my rebellion, fell on him. The Risen Lord We Proclaim Verse 9 goes on: Therefore, also God highly exalted him. The one who died the shameful death of a slave is now the risen Lord. Every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. And it’s this Jesus who we proclaim and remember until he comes again. Why This Section Is Here in Philippians Let’s step back and think, and this is a really helpful thing to think about: why is this section here in Philippians? Paul is teaching us good theology, but why? Consider the commands that surround the explanation of Jesus’ humility and obedience. Paul doesn’t merely tell us of Jesus and his death and his godness to make us marvel, though we should. Paul is writing to a church tempted by selfish ambition and grumbling. Think of Euodia and Syntyche, chapter 4. Think of the very command that precedes this. I see that same tendency to selfish ambition and grumbling in me, and you do too. That is the most natural human thing. I want to rise the ranks. I want to get more prestige. I want to get more honor. I want to climb the ladder. And Paul says in verse 3: Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourself. Or in verse 14, obey: Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent children of God. Church, do you get this? Remembering Jesus rightly must change how we treat one another. It must change how we relate to God. God’s children, which it says in verse 14 you are when you respond this way, God’s children by grace alone through faith alone, should bear the family resemblance to God’s Son. So be who you are. Remember Christ in his sacrifice, what he paid, and the example he gave. Examine Yourself and Come to Christ So as we take the bread and juice, let’s make sure we’re doing it rightly. This is the very context in 1 Corinthians 11 when Paul tells us to examine ourselves. What was the church there doing? They were coming to the meal with their thoughts on themselves, selfishly grasping. And Paul says it’s not the Lord’s Supper that you’re taking. You’re doing something else altogether because they weren’t remembering Jesus rightly. Taking the bread and juice must have effects in our life. It’s a contradiction to praise Christ for not grasping his rights while we clutch our own. It’s a contradiction to praise Jesus for humility while being proud and selfish. It’s a contradiction to worship him for serving while we refuse to serve, or to praise his obedience while we defend grumbling or remain in disobedience. So examine yourself. Look for where your life isn’t in step with the gospel. And you know what Paul says? He doesn’t say, “Examine yourself, and then let the bread and juice pass if you haven’t had a good week.” He says, “Examine yourself. Remember Jesus. Confess your sins where they’re there. Turn from them. And so eat and drink.” So if you are a Christian, look to your Savior. He is your only worth, your only merit before God. And look at your life and get your life in alignment with who God saved you to be. And then eat and drink. But if you have not trusted Christ, just let the elements pass when they come. But please don’t leave without speaking to me, or the person who brought you, or anybody here. There will be people available after the service to talk and to pray with you about how you can be reconciled to God through Jesus. As your heart is prepared, take the bread and juice on your own.

As political parties prepare for the 2027 general election, unity may prove just as important as popularity.But a fresh Appeal Court ruling involving the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised questions about the party's internal leadership and what lies ahead.Today on Nigeria Daily, we ask: What does the Appeal Court ruling really mean for the ADC?I am Luqman Awwal Agono. My guests are Bolaji Abdullahi, National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC); Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; and Mr. David West, political analyst.

The opposition says it is determined to unseat the ruling APC in 2027. But can it achieve that if one of the platforms expected to play a major role is caught in a legal battle?A recent court ruling has thrown the future of the NDC into uncertainty, prompting questions about what happens if the party eventually loses its registration. Would that derail Peter Obi's political ambitions? Would it affect ongoing talks among opposition figures? Or is this simply another legal hurdle that can be overcome?In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we examine what the court's decision really means, what the opposition is saying, and whether Nigeria's political landscape could change before the next general election.

Guest speaker Cameron Cronk from Parkside Church opened the word to Luke 5:1-11 where he highlighted the story of Peter obediently listening to and humbly following Christ. He showed how Christ moves closer to us and gives us a new calling, and we must be willing to leave everything behind to be one step closer to Him.June 21, 2026

5-31-26: Obedient Unto Our Master (Isaac Smith) by LifeSource Church

You Are the Threat!Why Awakening Destroys the Illusion of Authority Hidden Power Structures, and Reclaiming Your PerceptionThe world you were taught to believe in is incomplete—and increasingly, evidence supports this reality. From declassified government files to whistleblower testimonies, from weather modification moving from “conspiracy theory” to documented practice, the cracks in consensus reality are widening. As someone who navigates both the seen and unseen—through clairvoyant work, mystical practice, and deep study of economics and power structures—I can tell you this: We're no longer in Kansas. But this isn't just about what “they” are hiding. It's about remembering who you really are and reclaiming your capacity to think, feel, and perceive independently.You Need Permission to Know TruthThe Lie: Truth comes from institutions—governments, media conglomerates, textbooks, expert consensus. If Wikipedia says “quackery,” it must be false. If you question official narratives, you're unstable, conspiratorial, or dangerous.The Truth:* Gnosis—direct, embodied knowing—is more reliable than borrowed belief. This is what mystics have always understood: “Gnosis is the moment the soul remembers it has roots beneath the visible world... Direct revelation, not secondhand spiritual leftovers microwaved in the cafeteria of consensus reality.”* History is written by victors and funded by agendas. From an economic and power structure perspective, information control is wealth control.* “Conspiracy theorists” were eventually proven right about: Epstein networks, MK-Ultra, Operation Northwoods, Stolen Elections, Watergate, weather modification/cloud seeding, and countless declassified operations including a propped stock market to benefit the few.No one will be able to escape the fact that we need to stop outsourcing our sense-making to institutions that profit from our obedience.Stay Neutral and.....* Practice “upside-down logic”: If something is heavily censored or ridiculed, ask why. Use suppression as a curiosity signal, not a stop sign.* Develop gnosis through somatic wisdom: When you encounter information, notice—does your body contract or expand? Trust your energetic intelligence over intellectual parroting. Patriarchy Lives OnThe primary reason for mass deception isn't random—it's strategic. From years of studying power structures and economics, I've observed the major reason we've been lied to is because of where our POWER truly is - when used from love and agency.What's Being Hidden:✅ Your immense creative, spiritual, and energetic capacities (what the “occult”—literally meaning “hidden”—points toward)✅ Technologies and systems that would eliminate artificial scarcity (free energy, suppressed healing modalities, decentralized power)This sums it up about right.“A disconnected person is easier to influence. A fearful population is easier to direct.”Take back your energy and agency.*Audit your energy drains: What systems, habits, or beliefs keep you too exhausted to question reality?*Prioritize nervous system regulation: Meditation, breathwork, time in nature, creative play—these aren't luxuries; they're acts of resistance against manufactured dysregulation.When Truth-Seeking Becomes a PrisonNot all “awakening” is liberation. Conspiracy culture can become its own cage.Common Traps:

In this message, Pastor Marco talks about how we are becoming a church who is obedient to God's Word. Obedience not only reveals our love for God but it also draws us closer in intimacy with Christ. And the good news is that God has not left us on our own. He's promised the Holy Spirit who helps us listen and obey His commands.

“He became obedient to the point of death,even the death of the cross.” Jesus'entire earthly life was marked by obedience. Hebrews 10:7 says: “Behold, Ihave come to do Your will, O my God.” From Bethlehem to Calvary, Jesuslived in perfect submission to the Father. In the Gospel of John Jesus made itvery clear that He did not do what He Himself wanted to do. He always did whatHis Father told Him to do. He went where His Father told Him to go, and Hespoke what His Father told Him to speak. It is very obvious that Jesus lived alife of submission to the Father. Where Adam disobeyed in a garden, Jesusobeyed in a garden. In Gethsemane, facing the horror of the cross, Jesusprayed: “Not My will, but Thine be done.” What obedience! Notice verse 8 says: “He became obedientto the point of death.” Obedience cost Him everything. Sometimeswe speak casually about obedience, but biblical obedience is often very costly.For Jesus, obedience meant: rejection, betrayal, false accusations, mocking, beatings,crucifixion, and ultimately death. Then Paul emphasizes: “Even the death ofthe cross.” Thecross was the most humiliating and shameful form of execution in the Romanworld. Roman citizens were generally exempt from crucifixion. It was reservedfor the worst criminals, slaves, and rebels. Victims were publicly stripped,mocked, and displayed in agony before the world. My friend, that is the deathJesus willingly obeyed unto—the death of the cross. Deuteronomy 21:23 declares:“Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.” Galatians 3:13 tells us: “Christhas redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us.”Hebecame that curse for us by hanging on the cross. Jesusdid not merely die physically. He bore the wrath and judgment for our sins—thejudgment we deserved.Isaiah53:6 says: “The LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” 2Corinthians 5:21 says: “For God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” At the cross, Jesustook our place. He suffered the judgment we deserved so that we could receivethe forgiveness we did not deserve. My friend, this is the heart of the gospel. Remember,Jesus chose this. Matthew 26:53 says that He could have called twelve legionsof angels, but love held Him to the cross. The nails did not hold Him there. Itwas the love of God and the love of Christ that held Him on that cross when Hedied. What application does this have for you and metoday? First, we must realize that obedience always involves surrender. Youcannot follow Christ while insisting on your own way and your own will. Jesussaid in Luke 9:23: “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himselfand take up his cross daily and follow Me.” Second, true obedience istested when it becomes costly. Anyone can obey when it is convenient. Obediencebecomes real when sacrifice is required. Maybe the sacrifice will involve: ourreputation, our comfort, our popularity, our financial security, our relationships,or our personal plans. When we come to Christ and choose to follow Him, it willcost us something. But nothing we surrender for Christ compares to what Hesurrendered for us!  Thecross changes everything about how we view sacrifice. Paul later tells us inRomans 12:1:“Present your bodies a living sacrifice.” The Christian lifeis not about shallow, convenient Christianity. It is about cross-centereddiscipleship. But here is the wonderful truth: the cross is not the end. Sundaywas coming. Humiliation would give way to exaltation. Death would give way toresurrection. Tomorrow, in Philippians 2:9, we will see heaven's response toChrist's obedience: “Therefore God has highly exalted Him.”  Godbless you and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

This week, Pastor Wes walks us through Romans 16:17–20 & 25–27, encouraging believers to stay grounded in the truth of God's Word and be aware of teachings that pull people away from the gospel. As we celebrated Graduate Sunday, we were reminded of the importance of building our lives on the foundation of Christ and remaining faithful in every season of life. Paul reminds the church to stand firm, remain wise in what is good, and trust that God is ultimately victorious over evil. The passage closes with a beautiful reminder that the gospel reveals God's plan to bring glory to Himself through Jesus Christ.Text: Romans 16:17–20 & 25–27 Recorded: May 17, 2026

In this message, Pastor Seth Drewry continues the “Abraham: Journey of Faith” series by walking through Genesis 22 and Abraham's test on Mount Moriah. Abraham leads Isaac up the mountain carrying only two things in his hands: the fire and the knife.Pastor Seth shows how this Old Testament moment points to Jesus, the Lamb of God, and reveals a God who does not demand the death of our children, but instead seeks to fully capture our hearts. He explains the cultural background of child sacrifice, why this passage separates the one true God from all false gods, and how the ram in the thicket foreshadows Christ's sacrifice on the cross.From there, Pastor Seth applies the story directly to families and the next generation. Abraham was:Available to hear God's voiceObedient to respond, even when it didn't make sensePrepared to walk out what God had spokenWilling to trust God completely with his son's lifeUsing the image of Abraham carrying the fire and the knife, Pastor Seth calls parents, grandparents, and spiritual leaders to lead the next generation “up the mountain” into an encounter with God. The knife represents the Word of God—sharp, precise, and able to cut through lies, sin, and spiritual strongholds. The fire represents the Holy Spirit—God's presence that purifies, empowers, and ignites a living, active faith.This sermon challenges believers to:Tune their ears to God's voice and be ready to change courseRecognize that not everyone can go where God is calling you—some “donkeys” must be left behindTrust God with their children's ultimate destiny, even as they faithfully steward and disciple themCarry both biblical truth (the knife) and Holy Spirit power (the fire), instead of settling for dry knowledge or unanchored emotionPastor Seth also presses into the New Testament pattern of the baptism in the Holy Spirit from the book of Acts, urging every believer not only to know the Word but to ask God for the fire of the Holy Spirit in their own lives. When the fire and the knife come together—Word and Spirit, truth and power—God transforms lives, strengthens families, and awakens a new generation to follow Jesus.If you're a parent, grandparent, or anyone burdened for the next generation, “The Fire & The Knife” will help you see how to lead young people toward an encounter with God by faithfully carrying His Word and His Spirit every day.Join us next week at Believers Fellowship.

What does it look like to lead your business as a Kingdom CEO—without hustle, striving, or pressure to have it all figured out?In this episode, I'm joined by Tierney Shirrell, founder of the Live BOLD Movement, who shares her journey from brokenness to boldness—and how God uses identity, obedience, and alignment to transform the way we lead.Tierney unpacks what it means to be Called, Empowered, and Obedient—and how shifting from striving for results to receiving from God changes everything about how you steward your time, energy, and vision.Here's what we cover in this episode:What it really means to lead as a Kingdom CEO—from identity, not performanceHow to take the next right step without hustle or pressure to control outcomesWhy alignment in body, soul, and spirit is key to clarity, fruitfulness, and time stewardshipTierney reminds us that we're not building for victory—we're leading from it. And when we root ourselves in identity, receive first, and partner with God, we stop striving and start stewarding.It's time to build the vision as bold as your faith—by walking in obedience, one step at a time.

(Acts 8:29-30) The word gospel contains the idea of going, and we see this illustrated in Philip's willingness to follow the Spirit's lead. Spirit-led obedience should be immediate (no delay or negotiation), enthusiastic (running toward the Lord's call rather than away), and complete (taking the next obedient step and trusting God for the next). To be a gospel Christian who makes a difference, yield wholly to the Holy Spirit and keep in step with Him one step at a time.

What if the goal of parenting isn't raising kids who always listen…but raising kids who feel safe being fully themselves? In this episode, Kristin shares a realization that stopped her in her tracks: so much of her life has been shaped by the quiet pressure to be liked. To be the nice one. The agreeable one. The one everyone walks away from thinking, “Wow, she's so kind.” From friendships to everyday interactions with strangers, that instinct to make sure everyone feels good about her has been deeply ingrained, and incredibly exhausting.And that realization led to a bigger parenting question: how often do kids learn to people-please because they feel their acceptance depends on it? Many of us grew up believing the highest compliment a child could receive was being called a “good kid.” The obedient one. The easy one. The one who doesn't push back, question, or cause problems. But what if that expectation quietly teaches kids something we never intended, that their job is to make adults happy?In this episode, we unpack the hidden pressure behind being the “good kid” and why prioritizing obedience above all else can sometimes make it harder for kids to develop confidence, boundaries, and trust in their own voice.Kristin talks about:Why the idea of the “obedient child” can be misleadingHow kids internalize the need for approval from the adults around themThe subtle ways people-pleasing starts in childhoodThe difference between respect and complianceWhy it's actually healthy for kids to disagree, push back, and express who they really areHow we can create homes where kids feel safe showing up authentically...even when that's messyBecause here's the truth: our kids are going to grow up in a world where not everyone will like them. And while that's uncomfortable, it's also part of being human. The goal isn't raising kids who never disappoint anyone. The goal is raising kids who trust themselves enough to be who they are, even when it means not everyone approves. And when kids know they're loved exactly as they are, they don't have to spend their lives shrinking themselves to earn it.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

The New Yorker staff writer Gideon Lewis-Kraus joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the escalating standoff between the A.I. company Anthropic and the Department of War. They consider recent reporting on the use of Claude—Anthropic's family of large language models—in military operations in Venezuela and Iran, and how that news has pushed the company's relationship with the Pentagon to a breaking point. They also explore how the tech industry is responding to the conflict between the Trump Administration and Anthropic, and the thorny question of whether A.I. should be subject to greater safeguards and more oversight than previous technological innovations.This week's reading: “The Pentagon Went to War with Anthropic.
