On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we kicked off the week with some much-needed encouragement as our guest took us to the final book of the Bible to explain some of the most common confusions and to prepare us for the glorious future God has planned for His children. We took a look at the importance of the 7 churches of Revelation, explained who the Anti-Christ is and drew a picture of what life in the millennial kingdom will really be like. Why is there such a stigma in the church regarding mental health? Our guest explained the importance of church’s recognizing the need to care for members who struggle with mental health concerns, what is involved in creating a mental health team at your church and she shared some encouraging stories of church teams that are working and producing life-transformative results. If your well has run dry from the bombardment of our “me driven” society and you need a time of true refreshment, we had the perfect escape for you as we spoke to a Canadian pastor who challenged us to turn away from the distractions of this world and to turn our eyes toward the omnipotence of God. He says that once we can find deep and abiding hope and encouragement for our lives when we turn our focus onto Him and His power, beauty and goodness. We returned to the topic of mental health in the church later in the week because it is a multi-faceted issue. Our second guest to address this topic is a counselor and former pastor who has seen this from behind the pulpit and among the people. He says that church leaders lack the training necessary to help those who struggle. He offered clear, biblically sound guidance for recognizing the symptoms of mental illness and how to minister God’s love and provide support for those who are hurting. The end of another week is upon us. So, it is time to ring the class bell and get in our seats as our favorite teaching team continue showing us how to develop a biblically discerning eye as we examine the news we find in the marketplace of ideas every day.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is the purpose and importance of the church? As part of Liberty Baptist Church's 35th anniversary Sunday, Pastor Nate Wagner explains from Ephesians 2:19-22 that the God's transforming work begins with unifying change in the church.

In this episode, we explore the rich theology, history, poetry, and music of the classic hymn "The Church's One Foundation" by S. J. Stone.Whether you're a musician, theologian, or just someone hungry to learn, this episode invites you to see how deep truth and beautiful art can come together in worship.

"If you love cats, you should be concerned about trying to help bring those numbers down so animals don't suffer because this is why we do this. We don't want animals suffering, having unwanted litters of cats and having to have them suffer." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and 6 Degrees of Cats. In this powerful episode, host Stacy LeBaron sits down with Cathy Bissell, founder of Bissell Pet Foundation, who has revolutionized animal welfare through innovative programs reaching over 6,000 shelters across 49 states. From her unexpected entry into animal welfare during Hurricane Katrina to creating the nation's largest funded adoption event, Cathy's journey demonstrates how strategic thinking and passionate commitment can create systemic change. Her foundation has impacted nearly one million pets since 2011, but it's her latest initiative that's truly disrupting the industry. Cathy shares the incredible success of her groundbreaking "Fix the Future" program, launched in 2023 to address the veterinary care access crisis. In just under 18 months, this free spay/neuter initiative has sterilized 138,000 animals across 27 states, with an astounding 86,963 of those being cats. Through a network of 385 high-volume, high-quality relief veterinarians, the program is tackling overpopulation at its source while keeping costs remarkably low at just $35 per surgery. Cathy discusses the challenges of scaling this model, the importance of treating every animal that comes through their doors, and why she believes this "disruptor program" is essential for breaking down cost barriers that prevent people from accessing veterinary care. Whether you're working in a small grassroots rescue or leading a major shelter, this episode provides invaluable insights into creating sustainable, scalable solutions that address root causes rather than just symptoms. Cathy's emphasis on collaboration, her honest discussion about learning from mistakes (including a powerful story about declawing), and her practical advice for getting started at any age will inspire listeners to think bigger about their impact and consider how they can contribute to solving the access to care crisis in their own communities. Press play now for: Cathy's unexpected journey from Hurricane Katrina volunteer to founding a major animal welfare foundation The evolution from disaster response to adoption events to addressing systemic access to care challenges Incredible statistics: 138,000 spay/neuter surgeries in 18 months with 86,963 cats across 27 states How the Fix the Future program operates with 385 relief veterinarians at just $35 per surgery The power of MASH-style clinics and why community cat advocates should consider creating their own Why Michigan serves as a prime example with 3,000 cats out of 4,000 total surgeries at their clinic The importance of spaying/neutering before adoption and addressing kittens under six months How veterinary school limitations (graduating with only 1-3 spay/neuter surgeries) impact private practice capacity Cathy's honest story about learning from the declawing controversy and how it changed her foundation's policies Practical advice for getting involved at any age and making a difference beyond just donating money The role of Empty the Shelters adoption events in supporting shelter operations nationwide Why every animal deserves vaccination and ear-tipping as part of comprehensive TNR programs Resources mentioned: Bissell Pet Foundation website (https://www.bissellpetfoundation.org/) Empty the Shelters adoption events (https://www.bissellpetfoundation.org/programs/empty-the-shelters/) Fix the Future spay/neuter initiative (https://www.bissellpetfoundation.org/programs/fix-the-future/) Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine (https://www.vetmed.msstate.edu/) MSU shelter medicine program details (https://www.vetmed.msstate.edu/about/points-of-pride) United Spay Alliance website (https://www.unitedspayalliance.org/) United Spay Alliance wet lab training programs (https://www.unitedspayalliance.org/hqhvsn-wet-labs/) BISSELL Pet Foundation grant information (https://www.bissellpetfoundation.org/grant-information/) Operation Fix the Future clinics (https://www.bissellpetfoundation.org/operation-fix-the-future/) BISSELL Pet Foundation Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/bissellpets/) Sponsor Links: Maddie's Fund (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/maddies623) Six Degrees of Cats (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/6-degrees-of-cats/id1669849217) Follow & Review We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Everyone understands the importance of a good foundation—for houses, buildings and yes, even life. Christ is THE Foundation on which ALL should build.

Four Anchors One Foundation - feat. Trent Lowe (03-09-2025 AM) by Sundown Church

Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 486 - The Church's One Foundation: vv. 1 - 3 - 2 Peter 1:16-21: For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. - Devotion - Prayer - Hymn 486 - The Church's One Foundation: vv. 4, 5 - Blessing - Recognition of Anniversaries - Postlude Service Participants: Rev. Aaron Ferkenstad (Preacher), Micah Smith (Organist)

In this week's message, Pastor Blake encourages us to pursue unity by building on the foundation of Christ.

Only Jesus provides a sure foundation for his church. In this study of Colossians 1:15-20, we learn... that Jesus is head of the church What does it means that he is "firstborn from the dead"? How the church is a unified body with diverse roles Our hope in a future resurrection Finding peace with God and others The urgency of making peace with God while there's still time Thanks for listening.

LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES “For All the Saints” *OPENING HYMN “The Church's One Foundation” - #545 HYMN “Holy Spirit, Thou Art Welcome” November 3, 2024 Worship Service

This week we study the hymn "The Church's One Foundation" (Hymn 473 in The Lutheran Hymnal), written by English hymn writer Samuel Stone who wrote this hymn in the late 1800's. This hymn is found in the Communion of Saints section of our hymnal, but it is also appropriate for Reformation, which we will be celebrating this weekend. It wonderfully describes what the Church is, as well as how it is established and maintained.  Stone masterfully weaves passages from the Old and New Testaments together, using pictures from Jesus, Paul, Peter, John and even the Psalms to describe the Holy Christian Church and the enemies that it faces in this fallen world. It also comforts the Christian who fights in this battle of the Church Militant with the assurance that Christ has won, and that Christ's Church will be preserved no matter what challenge it faces. It will become the Church Triumphant!  Study this hymn with us, as we are reminded Jesus is the Church's One Foundation and that the "gates Hades will not prevail against it"! (Matthew 16:18). Thanks be to God! The LORD bless your worship and proclamation of this truth, both this weekend, and always!

What goes into creating a foundation?     When you're pouring a foundation for an earthy structure, it takes quite a few people.  We recently had foundation poured at our church for our ministry expansion and it took many, many hands!  Way to many people to count in order to pour the foundation just as it was supposed to be.     However, when you're talking about the foundation of the soul, it's easy to count how many people it takes!  Just one.  Jesus Christ!    Join us for today's devotion as we look at Acts 4:12 and find peace in building a faithful, firm foundation.      God bless your time in the Word!

With Sola Scriptura, or “through Scripture alone,” the Reformers affirmed the authority of Scripture over and above the tradition of the Roman Catholic church. Today, questions of authority and accountability still plague the church, stemming from the influence of radical Anabaptists, modern biblicists, the continued tradition of Rome, and our own culturally shaped desires to have the final say. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland discuss sola Scriptura and how it can be good news for the church today.

How should the foundation of the church impact how we build upon that foundation? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper turns to 1 Corinthians 3:10–17 and tackles that question.
