(Haggai 1:8) Don't miss the present while you are lamenting your past. God has a work He wants you to do today and something He desires to do in the days ahead! Obey God and begin right where you are. (10049260226) The episode walks through Haggai's four dated sermons delivered over four months and highlights the main themes: the danger of waiting when God calls us to work; the trap of lamenting the past and missing present opportunity; the mistake of focusing only on the material and ignoring God's supernatural provision; and the error of magnifying opposition while forgetting God's presence and power.  Listen to Scott Pauley's verse-by-verse study of Haggai HERE.  Join our study through Scripture this year.

In this podcast, Pastor Justin preaches into how we must absolutely, positively apply what God says, not just because we love Him, not just because it's what is right or best for us, but because the alternative costs us everything!Support the show

Opposition intensifies as the apostles are arrested and threatened—but God's mission moves forward. In this passage, we see a Church that refuses to obey man rather than God. Empowered by the Spirit, the apostles rejoice even in suffering, confident that Christ is worth any cost. This text calls us to bold obedience rooted in joy, not fear.

Should Christians always submit to the authorities that God has placed over them? Today, R.C. Sproul outlines principles for knowing when we must obey and when we must disobey.

The apostles obeyed the commands of Christ to the best of their ability. This resulted in harassment, jail time, and beatings. At the same time, their witness produced an amazing spread of the gospel with thousands receiving Christ as their Savior. Do we have the same commitment to follow Christ, even at our own personal discomfort? Main Scripture passage: Acts 5:17-42

Worship is so much more than singing songs to God. It comes from a surrendered heat that has a desire to OBEY God. However, the power of SONG is something the Bible says a lot about. We are encouraged to come before His Presence with singing. This message explores 3 kinds of songs the Bible talks about (Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs). 

Sermon outline: A. What is the heart, biblically? - The inner you. Your thoughts, desires, values, will. What you treasure and love. - The real you - The control centre for your life. B. What is the heart like? - Image of God - Broken and warped by sin - A new heart - Progressive Sanctification C. An illustration: Two Fires D. How do you "Keep your heart with all vigilance?" 1. Use God's Word as your guide 2. Put off: - Sin - Temptation (radical amputation) - Thoughts, feelings, loves, joys, and desires that are NOT according to God's Word... Both sin, and what tempts you to sin or fuels your sin. 3. Put on: - Obey God's commands - Means of grace (cultivate godliness) - Thoughts, feelings, loves, joys, and desires that ARE according to Gods Word... Both what is commanded, and what fuels godliness... - Especially, seek to grow in your knowledge of God and all He has graciously given you in Jesus (present and future), so that your awe of Him grows, your trust in Him grows, and your love for Him grows. E. Remember, God is at work within you - Dependance - Hope

May the God of Wonders Bless You!

With rising tyranny leading to the worst persecution of Christianity in history, Kevin speaks to Jacob Tanner, author of Resist Tyranny, Obey God: Lessons from the Life and Times of John Knox. They discuss how nations, not just families or churches, are in covenant with God and must obey him…how in desperate times, ordinary ministry becomes extraordinary…what it means that "resistance to tyranny is obedience to God"…and how we are to do this.

You haven't "arrived." You were made to learn. This message is a challenge to pride, a rebuke to spiritual boredom, and an invitation back into the presence of God. Pastor Josh McPherson unpacks why wisdom starts with fearing God, why obedience turns the volume up on God's voice, and why a church of learners becomes a church of leaders. The takeaway: stay in the tent—because what God is about to do will require what only God can give.Support the showThanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources.

WHY DO WE STRUGGLE TO OBEY GOD—EVEN WHEN HE HAS SPOKEN? Featuring Noah and Travis Greene's StoryDate: Sunday, 25thTexts: Matthew 7:24–29 | Luke 8:4–15Context: Discovery Bible Study Reflection from Today's FellowshipMatthew 7:24–29Luke 8:4–15https://youtu.be/OjA18ik3kIw?si=1xcQTGEfZVB_dfq4 Today, as we sat together in Discovery Bible Study, something became very clear.This was not a silent room. People spoke. Observations were shared. Scriptures were read slowly.And one question kept surfacing—not as theory, but as confession:Why do we struggle to obey God, even when we know what He wants and we have heard Him clearly?Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with builders.Jesus explains the kingdom with soils.In both cases, the failure is not hearing.The failure is what happens after hearing.(Luke 8:12 – the word is stolen before it settles)There are moments when God speaks plainly, and we respond with delay disguised as wisdom.A person hears God say, “Leave this relationship.”Instead of obedience, they begin analysis:“Let me pray about it more”“Let me see if things change”“Let me wait for confirmation”What started as clarity becomes complexity.

John 6:5–14 | Walking by Faith, Not by SightWhat do you do when what God asks of you makes no sense on paper?In this message, “Faith Beyond Sight: Learning to Trust God Beyond What We See,” we walk through John 6:5–14, the feeding of the 5,000, and discover that this miracle is not only about provision, but about trust. Jesus intentionally tests Philip, not to embarrass him, but to reveal a struggle we all face: trusting what we can calculate instead of trusting who God is.Philip was a sincere follower of Jesus, yet when faced with an overwhelming need, he defaulted to human math instead of divine possibility. He saw the crowd, the cost, and the limits. Jesus saw an opportunity for faith.This sermon explores the tension between sight-based faith and God-centered faith, reminding us that faith does not deny reality, but it refuses to be ruled by it.Key Themes in This Message:• Faith is often tested where logic ends • God calls His people into situations beyond their natural ability • Faith that depends on resources will always fall short • God multiplies what we surrender, not what we control • Where God guides, God providesScriptures Covered:

Happy New Year

Are you truly worshiping Jesus… or just performing? In today's Words From The Word daily devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster continues the Christmas account and walks through Matthew 2:11–12 (KJV) to show what real worship looks like.The wise men didn't only come to see the King—they came to worship. Scripture says they fell down before the young child, and then they opened their treasures and presented gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This devotion reminds us: worship is deeper than singing, talking, or tradition. Worship begins with humbling ourselves, giving ourselves to the Lord, and then giving from what we have (Romans 12:1–2).Pastor Webster also warns about a quiet enemy: self. If we're not careful, self will get more time, more money, and more attention than God. But when a person truly gives themselves to Christ, nothing feels “too good” to offer Him.Finally, the wise men were warned of God in a dream not to return to Herod—and they went home another way. It's a powerful heart-check: Will I obey God rather than men? (Acts 5:29)If God is redirecting your steps, listen to His voice—He will not lead you wrong.✅ Like, comment, and share this devotion with a friend or family member.#WorshipJesus #Matthew2 #ChristmasDevotion #KJV #WordsFromTheWord0:00 The wise men worshiped0:49 Worship = falling down1:21 Jesus rejects false worship1:50 Worship & bow down (Ps 95)2:25 Don't worship men (Acts 10)3:06 Don't worship angels (Rev)4:10 Worship through giving4:45 Give yourself first (Rom 12)5:35 “Self” fights worship6:32 Gifts: gold, incense, myrrh7:33 Warned in a dream8:37 Obey God over men (Acts 4.5)9:26 How God guides & warns10:20 Will you obey God today?

336 – What makes you want to obey God?People sometimes ask: "Is there a way to obey God from a place of love instead of from a sense of duty or fear of punishment?" And my answer is always: Absolutely, Yes! It is totally possible to obey God from a place of love instead of duty or fear. God doesn't want you to obey Him because you're afraid of Him. God wants a loving relationship with you. When you realize He always has your best interests at heart, you really do want to obey God, you love to obey God.And that's what we're talking about on this episode of Freedom Fridays.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/336Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

If God can perfectly order the events of the Christmas story, we can entrust Him with stories of our own. We should mirror Mary's surrender and submission to God's plan.

READ Luke 1:26–33 #1 God Is Always On Time Luke 1:28 (NKJV)“Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” Luke 1:29 (NKJV)But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. God is always on time. READ Luke 1:34–38 #2 God’s Timing Requires Our Surrender Luke 1:38 (NKJV)“Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” Matthew 6:10 (NKJV)Your kingdom come.Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. READ Mark 8:34–36 God’s plan is always better. Surrender doesn’t mean God makes everything comfortable.It means God makes everything count. Surrender always leads to Christ. Psalm 84:10 (NKJV)For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Godthan dwell in the tents of wickedness. “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”—Jim Elliott READ Luke 1:39–45 #3 Our Obedience Has A Radius Luke 1:15 (NKJV)For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. What is God asking you to do? What areas in your life is God calling you to submit and surrender?

When God Changes Your Plan | Week 2: Will I Obey God When Things Don't Make Sense? // Kelly Walter // Does it ever seem like nothing is going according to plan? No one was expecting the first Christmas. Jesus was a change of plans for everyone. This Christmas, we'll look at the key questions we need to ask, when God changes our plans… Will I make room for Jesus? Will I still follow God when things don't make sense? Who was really in that manger? And, Will I trust God's timing in my life?

In a world filled with mixed voices and spiritual deception, God calls us to unwavering obedience and Holy Spirit discernment—don't let anyone pull you away from the last thing God told you to do.

Pastor Richard reminds us to have humility, that we willingly fall on the rock and be broken, than be crushed by the rock. We need to get over our pride and act like Jesus did.

Ever find it a struggle to obey God's Word, and actually enjoy it? Listen in on this week's episode of Thinking With Your Bible as Scott and Chris discuss how a healthy fear of the Lord leads to a willing obedience to His Word.Key Points:The believer's fear of the Lord is no longer slavish, but filial. The OT links the fear of the Lord to keeping His commandments. Jesus's teaching in the NT confirms the OT connection between fearing God and obeying Him.Loving God is obeying him – you will not truly love God if you aren't obeying Him.Love for, fear of, and obedience to God are inseparably connected.Our delight in obeying the Lord is made possible only through taking on Jesus who perfectly loved, feared, and obeyed His Father.“Obedience is the fruit of the tree of which the fear of God is the root.  We cannot rightly obey God if we do not fear Him -- if we do not honor, reverence, and love Him.” – Jerry Bridges, The Joy of Fearing GodFollow Us on InstagramVisit Our Website

In this powerful sermon through Acts 21, we follow the Apostle Paul as he faces a dilemma on his journey to Jerusalem.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.Most of us know what it's like to be in the pit — those seasons of loss, struggle, and dependence. But what about when life is good? When the bills are paid, the fridge is full, and the thermostat stays at just the right temperature?Joseph's story turns there: into the palace. A place of power, abundance, and comfort. But faithfulness in the palace is often harder than faithfulness in the pit. Because comfort whispers, "You did this." Abundance says, "You deserve this."And in moments like that, Jesus says it's impossible to stay faithful on our own... Unless God does a miracle in our hearts.So today, we ask: how do we stay faithful when everything's going right? How do we live as stewards, not owners? As Forgivers, not keepers? And as givers, not takers?Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on October 26, 2025, at 8:00am.
