Romans Volume II: Living Under GraceAdam's sin brought guilt, death, and condemnation to humanity, showing how the actions of one man can affect many. Paul points us to Jesus, whose perfect obedience and righteousness are credited to everyone who believes, bringing justification and life through faith.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on September 27, 2026Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.church

Read OnlineAction over WordsJesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people: “What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.' He said in reply, ‘I will not,' but afterwards changed his mind and went. The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, ‘Yes, sir,' but did not go. Which of the two did his father's will?” Matthew 21:28–31This parable must have been difficult for the chief priests and elders to hear, especially since it was clearly directed at them. In fact, after Jesus tells them a second parable, not included in today's Gospel, we read, “although they were attempting to arrest him, they feared the crowds, for they regarded him as a prophet” (Matthew 21:46). It seems they dismissed Jesus' words and His rebuke, but fear of public backlash, rather than fear of God's judgment, kept them silent for a time.In today's Gospel, the first son represents the tax collectors and prostitutes, those who initially violated God's law but later repented after hearing the preaching of John the Baptist and Jesus. The second son represents the chief priests and elders. After telling the parable, Jesus declares, “Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.”Like the second son, the religious and civic leaders paid lip service to God's law, but their actions did not align with its intent. They were hypocrites, blind to their own rejection of God's saving Word, and they misled others by their outward piety and self-righteous attitudes.Consider more carefully the reactions of the two sons. We might imagine that the second son, who said, “Yes, sir,” represents all who put on a false appearance of holiness. In the sight of others, they say the right things, but behind closed doors they fail to act.The first son is markedly different. Though he initially responds with defiance—“I will not”—his conscience eventually moves him to do what is right. Some may wonder why Jesus didn't include a third son, one who says “Yes, sir,” and then follows through. But Jesus likely omits such a son because all of us fall into one of the two categories He presents. Only our Blessed Mother obeyed perfectly in both word and deed from the first moment of her Immaculate Conception.The first son becomes our model because each of us, in some way, struggles to enter into perfect obedience to God's will. From childhood, we contend with what the Church calls concupiscence, the disordered tendency that arises from Original Sin. Though we are created good and in the image of God, our nature is wounded and inclined toward what is contrary to His will. The spiritual journey we undertake in this life is one in which grace slowly reorders our fallen inclinations and restores us to the obedience we are called to live. Reflect today on the first son, and humbly see yourself in him. In what ways do you find it difficult to say “Yes” to God's will right away? It is not a sin to struggle with obedience. This struggle is part of our fallen human nature. Like the first son, we must allow grace to work within us, forming our conscience and compelling us to act in accordance with God's will, especially in the areas where we resist. When we allow grace to move us beyond our initial hesitation, we grow in virtue and become more like our Blessed Mother and our Lord Jesus, who both said “Yes” to the Father and followed through completely. My obedient Lord, You and Your Blessed Mother always responded with wholehearted fidelity to the Father's will, both in word and in deed. Grant me the grace to imitate Your example and to share in the very obedience You lived in union with Your Mother. Root out my fallen tendencies toward selfishness, and make me generous in charity, living in full accord with and in obedience to the Father's glorious will. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Georg Pencz, CC0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

What happens when we deny that sin is part of who we are? Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar examine the dangers of denying original sin, beginning with the biblical teaching that Adam's disobedience brought sin and death into the world. They explain why the doctrine matters as people increasingly view humanity as basically good. They trace the idea from Pelagius through Locke, Rousseau, Marx, Freud, and the self-esteem movement. The explanation for human brokenness shifted farther from the heart and toward society and circumstances.The conversation then returns to the biblical diagnosis of human nature. The guys discuss what it means to be sinners by nature and by choice, emphasizing that a sinful nature does not remove personal guilt. If sin were merely bad behavior, better morals would be enough, but Scripture presents a deeper problem that requires a new heart. They compare denying sin's root to treating symptoms rather than the disease. From there, they clarify total depravity, explaining that it does not mean people are as evil as they could possibly be. Rather, every part of a person is affected by sin, while common grace still allows unbelievers to do genuine good.The discussion moves from the problem of sin to why this doctrine should drive believers toward grace. The guys explain that denying original sin lays the foundation for self-righteousness, while recognizing the depth of sin makes Christ's mercy all the more glorious. They reflect on preaching the gospel to yourself and remembering that Christ saves sinners who cannot rescue themselves. Ray connects this to the law of God, explaining that the law serves as a mirror, revealing what is already present in the human heart. It exposes guilt and shows why they need a Savior.The guys talk about applying original sin to the Christian life and the question of authority. They explain that seeing the depths of their own hearts should prompt believers to run toward God rather than become self-righteous, and that Romans 7 can be understood as an increasing awareness of our dependence on grace. Sanctification is not merely becoming better people but growing deeper in our understanding of the grace that saves and keeps us. Mark encourages preaching the gospel to yourself, remembering that Christ has already dealt with your sin and that your past does not have the final word. Rather than letting awareness of depravity drive you into despair, let it drive you toward Christ, because recognizing how deeply you need grace is part of growing in dependence on Him.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!

Original sin is not a minor blemish. We don't possess even a spark of good. Even when sin is not public, the corruption of our nature remains. Like a terminal disease, original sin cannot be removed by human effort. We must carefully distinguish human nature from original sin without separating them. Original sin corrupts our nature, but it is not the essence of humanity; otherwise, God would be made the creator of sin. Christ came to redeem our corrupted nature, and the Holy Spirit works to heal that corruption. Yet original sin is not fully eliminated in this life. We await Christ's return, when original sin will be destroyed once and for all.  Rev.

Who were the Emmaus disciples? What is a red Heifer? What would be the appearance of the resurrected body? Join us for Open Line Wednesday with Fr. Mitch Pacwa.

It is a human cognitive defect that we call some animals good and put them on a pedestal, with dogs and cats on the highest pedestal, while labeling those we don't like as evil, including rats and roaches, whom we target for annihilation. The warped approach is an offshoot of our obsession with sin, a word that meant missing the mark. It has come to be associated with offending God and is saddled with moral baggage that would see the sinner destined for an eternity in Gehenna as punishment for a finite transgression. Humans are the only beings the God freaks claim have free will, a necessary component in the moral equation without which the knowledge of right or wrong, good or evil cannot exist. This gainsays the Adam and Eve narrative, exposing the Abrahamic deity for the evil bastard it is. Neither Eve nor Adam had a comprehension of good or evil before eating of the tree's fateful fruit. They could not be morally culpable for their act of so-called disobedience. Punishing not only them but saddling every human born since with Original Sin exposes Sky Daddy's dereliction of duty. He should have taught them to navigate life's challenges with integrity rather than punishing the unaware. Sky Daddy failed mud man and rib woman and had the nerve to blame them for his shortcomings.

Read OnlineCommingling of Love and SufferingJesus' father and mother were amazed at what was said about him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted and you yourself a sword will pierce so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2:33–35It is no liturgical coincidence that the day after we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, we honor Our Lady of Sorrows. This close liturgical connection highlights the inseparable union between Christ's Passion and His Mother's compassion.The passage above is one of the two optional Gospel readings for today. The other is taken from the foot of the Cross: “Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene” (John 19:25). In both passages, we are invited to gaze with reverent love upon the overflowing charity found in the Blessed Mother's Immaculate Heart. Though she experienced countless moments of profound joy, today we contemplate the holy sorrow she endured as she accompanied her divine Son.From the first moment of her Immaculate Conception, the Blessed Mother's heart was full of grace. She was preserved from the stain of Original Sin and remained sinless throughout her life by freely obeying every prompting of the Holy Spirit who overshadowed her. For this reason, her Immaculate Heart is unique—no other motherly heart has ever loved so purely, and no other heart has ever suffered so deeply.It is easy to imagine that pure love would exempt a soul from suffering. But all we need to do is look upon the Son of God to know that this is not so. Suffering, sorrow, and the perfection of love are not opposed; they are perfectly united in every holy soul conformed to Christ, as exemplified in His Mother.When we contemplate the Exaltation of the Cross, we behold Jesus crucified—naked, humiliated, and in excruciating agony. Yet that suffering held no power over Him. He conquered it by embracing it, enduring it, and transforming it into the very foundation of Divine Mercy.Likewise, as the Mother of God stood before the exalted Cross of her Son and beheld Him in His final agony, her heart was pierced by the sword that Simeon prophesied on the day of Jesus' Presentation in the Temple. In that moment, sorrow and love became one. How could she feel otherwise? Had she not loved her Son so deeply, she would not have suffered so profoundly. It was precisely because her love was so pure that her sorrow was so great.There is much to learn from the Sorrowful Heart of the Immaculate Virgin Mary. From her we learn that holy love enables us to suffer with others. This is the essence of the word compassion—to suffer with. When we witness the sins of others—for which Christ suffered—or when we ourselves experience rejection, betrayal, or injustice, we are faced with a choice. We can turn inward in bitterness and self-pity, or we can imitate the Blessed Mother and choose holy compassion, loving even in the midst of pain, rejection, and abuse.Why did our Blessed Mother choose this holy sorrow, this loving compassion? Because love expressed in this way draws sinners back to God. Her compassion, united with Christ's, became a silent yet powerful invitation for all souls to repent, to believe, and to be healed.Reflect today on the sorrow within your own heart. It is easy to be saddened by loss, hardship, or trials. But sadness is not the same as holy sorrow. Does suffering lead you to compassion and empathy, or does it turn into self-pity? As we ponder the sorrows of our Blessed Mother, pray for the grace to imitate her holy compassion. Embrace your trials with love, and allow mercy to flow from your wounded heart. The Blessed Virgin perfectly exemplifies this sacred charity, and through her intercession and example, we are called to do the same. Our Lady of Sorrows, you stood by your divine Son in His joys and in His sufferings. You felt what He felt, loved with His love, and had compassion for all. Please pray for me, that as I gaze upon the exalted triumph of your Son's Cross, I may never look away, but look with love, uniting my own crosses with His. Sorrowful Heart of Mary, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image via Adobe Stock: Main; Featured Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Paul under Peter's authority? Begotten not made? Why the Ascension? All this and more on Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.

Jesus is NOT sin incarnate. God creates; Satan corrupts. Jesus is the image of the invisible God. When Christ took on our nature, He did so without sin. Although we are new creations in Christ, our corruption is not minor. Our corruption is so deep we need a perfect Savior with perfect blood to die an innocent death. This understanding is difficult to grasp according to reason, but it is a comfort to know that in this broken world, we can know with confidence that Christ has made us a new creation—one that awaits the perfect life in heaven at the final resurrection.

We BelieveAugust 30, 2026Sin, The Original Sin – Pastor Shahne Stone

What if human beings are not inherently sinful, selfish, or broken—but worthy and capable? In this message, Fish Stark, Executive Director of the American Humanist Association, explores how our beliefs about human nature shape our lives and politics—and what becomes possible when we begin with human worth rather than human failure.

Original sin is the deep and thorough corruption of our human nature which requires God Himself to overcome for our salvation.  The Concordians were careful to teach that original sin was not the essence of a person; if that were the case, God would be the creator of sin. According to Scripture, we are God's creation but inherit this corruption from Adam's fall. This corruption is real, but even more real is God's love revealed by the blood of Christ!  Rev.

WARNING! THIS ANIME CONTAINS MANY THEMES THAT CAN BE TRIGGERING TO SOME PEOPLE! Happy-seijin Takopi, lands on Earth with one mission: to spread happiness! When he meets Shizuka, a lonely fourth grader, he vows to bring back her smile using his magical Happy Gadgets. But as he uncovers the pain in her life, Takopi learns that true happiness may require more than gadgets. Takopi's Original Sin follows Nueinukf, a naive octopus-like alien from the Happy Planet who arrives on Earth with a singular mission to spread joy.Renamed "Takopi," he befriends a quiet fourth-grade girl named Shizuka Kuze and attempts to use his magical "Happy Gadgets" to make her smile.However, the series aggressively contrasts Takopi's cartoonish innocence with the grim reality of Shizuka's life, which is marred by severe bullying from her classmate Marina, deep depression, and parental neglect. As Takopi tries to forcefully fix her problems with alien technology, his fundamental inability to grasp complex human trauma causes his well-meaning interventions to backfire, pushing the children further into misery rather than saving them. The narrative rapidly descends into a dark psychological thriller involving time-travel loops, accidental murder, and the cyclical nature of abuse. As Takopi desperately rewinds time to prevent tragedies, the timeline only grows more twisted, leading the children to cover up deaths and succumb to paranoia.A late revelation upends the premise: Takopi is actually an amnesiac who originally traveled back in time at the behest of a deeply traumatized older Marina to kill Shizuka, only to forget his violent objective and befriend his target instead.Ultimately, the series serves as a harrowing critique of escapism, culminating in Takopi sacrificing his own existence to break the cycle of violence and allow the girls to slowly heal through genuine mutual understanding.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!Jerry was driving home from work when Jesus appeared to him.What he remembers most is the love. It was so direct and overwhelming that his first reaction was resistance.In this episode of Jerry and Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, Jerry and Abigail talk about that encounter, what it means to receive love, and why being loved can sometimes feel exposing.Abigail brings a very different perspective to Jesus. As a Jewish philosopher, she has never understood Jesus as necessary to a relationship with God. She talks about the difference between the historical Jesus and the Christian doctrines that came later, including Original Sin and the idea of Jesus as an intermediary.They also take on Freud, Darwin, human nature, and the kinds of theories people absorb so deeply that they can start to feel more real than experience itself.Abigail returns to the subject of evil, something she explored in A Good Look at Evil. She argues that evil cannot always be explained away as deprivation, misunderstanding, or psychological dysfunction. Sometimes it has to be recognized plainly for what it is.Nietzsche, skepticism, self-trust, and cultural fashion all come into the picture as Jerry and Abigail ask what helps us stay connected to reality instead of getting lost in theories about it.Throughout the episode, love keeps coming back as something more demanding than a feeling. It means paying attention, using judgment, taking responsibility, and trying to do right by the people in front of you.Get the books:Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial AgeGod: An Autobiography, As Told to a PhilosopherConfessions of a Young PhilosopherA Good Look at Evil***Ultimate Questions***Listen to the full episode and explore the question with a community of philosophers and seekers.Join the Ultimate Questions conversation on calling and divine guidance: https://substack.com/@ultimatequestionsOther Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare: questions@godanautobiography.comGet the books: God: An Autobiography, Radically Personal, Confessions of a Young Philosopher, A Good Look at EvilShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Its been 16 years since the show premiered and what better day to release an episode discussing the pilot episode than on the anniversary of Alison's disappearance. My cousin introduced me to this show and it immediately grabbed my attention. It is 100% a teenage girl show, but it has murder, suspense, clues, lies, sex, and so much more. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't yet watched the series. The show also had spin offs with Revenswood, The Perfectionist, and most recently Original Sin, which is more of a slasher.It has been one year since Alison, then the queen bee of the bunch, went missing. Spencer, Aria, Hanna and Emily have gone on with their lives, though they've grown apart. Now in high school, each girl finds herself facing a new set of challenges when anonymous text messages from `A' threaten to expose all of their secrets - both old secrets the girls were sure only Alison knew, and newer secrets developed after Alison's disappearance. Who is `A' and how does he or she know the things he or she knows? `Pretty Little Liars' is based on the series of novels by Sara Shepard."I'm back bitches and I know everything." - AHanna's Pink Drink:Ingredients1.5 oz of VodkaLa Croix (preferably a pink option)1.5 oz GrenadineDirectionsMix all the ingredients together in a shaker with ice.Pour into glass over ice and enjoy.PLL Drinking Rules (tvtropes.org and drinkiwiki.com):Drink when… (I'd recommend choosing 2-3 rules)Spencer gets that constipated lookSpencer and Melissa fight or one up each otherAria and Ezra almost get caughtMona says something bitchythe theme song playsall the girls wear a dressMelissa is being bitchythey are sitting in a classroomEmily kisses a girlHanna is shown in a fat suitAria has pink streaks in her hairMona is a dork in the flashbacksomeone mentions Spencer's mom is a lawyerAlison is in the episodethey read A's message together; Refill and drink again if it says bitchesany character diessomeone cries about somethingany of the girls wear normal clothes and not “couture”they mention The Jenna ThingA ends a message with "bitch", "bitches", or some variant thereof.A does something that should require psychic knowledge of the future.the girls do something stupid that gives A an advantage over them.

How can one make sense out of the awful state of the world? In this sermon on Ephesians 2:1–3 titled “Original Sin,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones brings much needed clarity to today's chaos, showing how humanity's sinful nature is behind the wickedness seen all around. Since human nature is wholly given over to sin, one is unable to do good and obey all that the law of God requires. Those, like the humanist, that claim sin is simply an outdated religious superstition that can be replaced by modern psychology fundamentally misunderstand the extent of humanity's sin and corruption. The sinful nature is not something that people lack within, but it is active rebellion against God. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that sin dominates the very will and the orthodox doctrine of original sin accounts for this sinful nature. It says that when the first man, Adam, sinned, all fell into sin and inherited the corrupt nature. This is why moral reform as a way of salvation is hopeless. If people could keep the law then there would be no need for the gospel and death of Christ. It is only by the saving grace found in the death of Christ that anyone can be delivered from sin and made righteous before God.

Infant baptism has been practiced for centuries across many Christian traditions. Proponents of the practice argue that baptism is primarily an act of God's grace rather than an individual response of faith. Some also compare baptism to circumcision, arguing that it brings infants into the New Covenant just as circumcision marked entrance into God's covenant with Abraham.In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard examines the arguments for infant baptism and compares them with the pattern established in the New Testament. He discusses who qualifies as a candidate for baptism, the role of original sin in this debate, and why repentance and personal faith are central to the biblical practice of baptism.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: This week, we're revisiting one of my favorite conversations from the What If Project archives, a conversation with John Philip Newell about his beautiful book "Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul". What if the deepest truth about being human isn't that we're broken, sinful, or separated from God? What if we've simply forgotten who we are? In this conversation, JP introduces us to the wisdom of Celtic Christianity and its radically different understanding of humanity, Jesus, creation, and the sacredness of the earth. We talk about things like original sin, "soul forgetfulness," the divine presence within every human being, and what it might mean to see Jesus not as the exception to humanity, but as someone who reveals what has been there all along. We also explore JP's own journey from conservative evangelical Christianity into Celtic spirituality, why ancient Celtic teachers challenged the marriage of religion and empire, and how practices like silence, meditation, nature, and attentiveness can help us remember what our souls already know. I originally recorded this conversation a few years ago, but listening back to it, I was struck by how much of it still speaks to where I am today. So I'm pulling it from the archives and sharing it again!

Chris, Jo and Alex are back as a trio for episode seven in the Romans series, opening with a read-through of chapter 6 verses 1–14. They set the scene first: Paul has spent chapters 1–4 establishing the universal problem of sin and the inadequacy of the law to deal with it, and from chapter 5 onwards the vocabulary shifts — Jesus is back on the scene, justification language recedes, and life, freedom and reigning take over as Paul moves into the second act of the argument, heading for the crescendo of chapter 8. The chapter's opening question is a piece of Greco-Roman rhetorical technique Paul loves: anticipating your opponent's refutation and defusing it before it lands, necessary in a letter sent halfway across the known world with Phoebe carrying the delivery instructions. The team disagree amiably over how cynical the objection is: Chris and Alex read it as "why bother caring about right and wrong", Jo suspects someone hearing it as a licence to sin deliberately. The first half works through the death/burial/resurrection imagery, picking up the basileia kingdom-and-ruling-power language from chapter 5: sin isn't merely a catalogue of acts but a structural status, a dominion you're either under or dead to. They dig into baptism as both metaphor and action (down into the water and up out of it) and its resonance with the Exodus and the Red Sea, while insisting it's union with Christ, not the rite itself, that does the work (otherwise chapter 4's argument about faith preceding circumcision collapses). Jo highlights the pile-up of Greek sun- compound verbs: buried with, crucified with, raised with, living with; as the grammatical backbone of Paul's "in Christ" theology and, he argues, of a covenantal reading of Romans. There's a detour into what "the glory of the Father" in verse 4 might mean, including the reading that identifies it with the Spirit, and a discussion of Paul's habit of planting hints early that he unpacks chapters later. The pastoral heart of the episode sits in the sinless perfection debate: is verse 7's "anyone who has died has been set free from sin" a description of present moral reality, or a forensic status held in tension with verse 12's "do not let sin reign in your mortal body"? Jo names the two failure modes he's seen — either whatever I do can't be sin, or if I do sin I have to hide it, breeding hypocrisy and shame. Alex pushes the conversation out of the individualistic weeds and back into Paul's big covenantal categories: a new era for the people of God, not a status report on one person's behaviour. Chris nuances the "forensic" label as also sacramental. Alex's question about where sanctification fits gets a deliberate deferral; Paul starts the thought here and doesn't finish it until chapter 8. The second half takes up verses 15–23 and the antinomian objection's second form: if we're not under law, why is sin a problem? They set the slavery metaphor in its ancient context — a lifelong status attaching to the whole person, ownership of the body, exploitation, being counted among assets — with a recommended side trip to Philemon (and a plug for the podcast's own Philemon episode). The key move is that there's no neutral third state: you're a slave to one master or the other, which Jo links back to Jesus on serving two masters, and to the "freedom to, not freedom from" argument of Galatians. Order matters throughout: you're set free first, and obedience is the response, never the means. They touch on the commentators' storm-in-a-teacup over what "the standard of teaching" refers to, the responsibility-without-autonomy of the doulos, and Douglas Moo's phrase for what's happened: a salvation-historical regime change, which Chris gently contests on the grounds that grace was the operative regime all along — only the instrument changed. The chapter closes with Paul mixing his metaphors on purpose: freedom, wages and fruit. Slaves don't earn wages; free people do — so death is the wage sin honestly pays, while eternal life is precisely not a wage but a free gift. Sanctification finally appears by name in verse 22, closing the loop on Alex's earlier question. Next episode: chapter 7, which Jo bills as the genuinely hard one: who exactly is the "I" wrestling with sin?

When Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity, it is said there were only twelve men who were intelligent enough to understand its implications. Forty years later the number had risen to millions as the horror of Hiroshima unfolded. Relatively few could see great significance in E = mc2, but even fewer failed to understand that through one man the race had been ushered into the atomic age. There was no going back and there were no exceptions, because in Einstein atomic reality had come upon all men. When a man introduces something new into human experience, the race will always be left to live with the consequences.  In Romans 5:12-21, Paul sets out to show how one man's death can provide salvation for many. To prove his point, he uses Adam to establish the principle that it is possible for one man's actions to inexorably affect many other people. So when sin entered the life of a man, it also entered the experience of a race as yet unborn. If it be objected that those locked up in Adam's loins could hardly be said to have been introduced to sin in Adam, it should be remembered that in Adam they were introduced to everything, for without him as source they had nothing, and if he had died they would not even have had life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sermons-from-my-heart--2423678/support.

Read OnlineA Promise and Sign of Hope“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is his Name.” Luke 1:46–49Today we celebrate one of the great solemnities on the Church's liturgical calendar: the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Belief in her bodily assumption first took root in the early Church among those who witnessed this glorious event. Though we do not have written firsthand accounts of the Assumption, a variety of traditions have stood the test of time.According to a tradition handed down by Saint John Damascene in the fifth century, all of the Apostles except Thomas were miraculously gathered in Jerusalem at the time of Mary's Dormition, or falling asleep. After reverently placing her body in a tomb near the Garden of Gethsemane, they later opened it at Thomas's request, who had arrived late and wished to venerate her body. To their astonishment, the tomb was empty. This led the Apostles to conclude, through divine revelation, that the Blessed Virgin had been assumed body and soul into Heaven. That empty tomb is still honored today in the cave near Gethsemane and remains a popular place of pilgrimage.This early tradition laid the foundation for the Church's growing conviction through the centuries that Mary's Assumption was not merely a pious belief but a divinely revealed truth. In 1950, this truth was solemnly defined as dogma by Pope Pius XII in Munificentissimus Deus.Why was the Blessed Virgin Mary taken body and soul into Heaven at the completion of her earthly life? Because, by a singular grace, when she was conceived in the womb of her mother—traditionally known as Saint Anne—her conception was the Immaculate Conception. That is, she was conceived without the stain of Original Sin. This grace, called a prevenient or preceding grace, was given to her through the foreseen merits of her Son's future death on the Cross. That grace transcended time and preserved her from sin in advance, making her Son also her Savior, as she proclaimed in the Magnificat: “My spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”Though the Blessed Virgin Mary was not saved by her own merit, having been given the fullness of grace at the moment of her Immaculate Conception, she perfectly cooperated with that grace throughout her life. She remained free not only from Original Sin but also from all personal sin. Since “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), and since the Blessed Mother was entirely without sin, her body and soul were never separated in death, which leads to bodily corruption. Instead, having completed the course of her earthly life, the Blessed Virgin Mary “was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory” (Munificentissimus Deus, 44).Why is this important for us today? Because the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is not only a singular privilege granted to her, it is also a sign of hope and a promise of what awaits all who remain faithful to Christ. Mary is the first and greatest disciple; where she has gone, we hope to follow. Her bodily glorification reveals that our salvation is more than spiritual, it also includes the redemption of the body. In a world wounded by sin, suffering, and death, the Assumption shines as a beacon of the final victory of grace. It reminds us that Heaven is our true home, that holiness is possible, and that those who entrust themselves to God alongside our Blessed Mother will share in Christ's Resurrection. As our loving Mother, now enthroned in glory, Mary intercedes for us and draws us ever closer to her Son, encouraging us to live each day with faith, purity, and joyful hope.Reflect today on the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary as a sign of hope and a promise of what is to come for you and your loved ones. Though we will die and our bodies will be laid to rest, one day our bodies and souls will rise and share in the resurrected glory of Jesus and Mary. This will be our eternity. Turn your eyes to that day, profess your faith in it, rejoice in God your Savior, and proclaim His greatness alongside His most glorious Mother.Most glorious Mother of God, you were singularly privileged to be preserved from the stain of Original Sin at your Immaculate Conception, and you fully cooperated with the fullness of grace throughout your earthly life, thereby meriting the gift of your bodily Assumption when your time on earth was completed. Pray for me, that I may be filled with hope and persevere in grace, so that I, too, may one day share in the glory of the Resurrection.

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, this course unfolds as a self-paced, introspective expedition into reality creation, aiding you in elevating your consciousness to what's referred to as the God Mode. Throughout this journey, practical tools will be provided daily to help enrich your life with more love, money, and success by altering your mental models and perceptions. This course combines theory and hands-on experience to create a unique deep dive into manifestation, consciousness, and reality creation.

Special guest Rev. Nigel Brown joins us as we discuss how God works our conversion.

In this message from our Reframe series, we tackle one of the most foundational beliefs many Christians have never questioned: Were you actually born with a sinful nature?For many of us, the Christian story began in Genesis 3—with sin, shame, and separation. But what if the biblical story actually begins in Genesis 1—with blessing, identity, and belovedness?Together, we explore the history of the doctrine of original sin, the biblical case for original blessing, what the Greek word hamartia (sin) really means, and why your understanding of your identity shapes the way you experience God, yourself, and others.This conversation isn't about minimizing sin. It's about asking whether we've misunderstood its origin, its purpose, and ultimately the good news of the Gospel.In this episode we discuss:- Why the biblical story begins with blessing before brokenness- Original blessing vs. original sin- What hamartia actually means in the Greek- Did Adam pass down a sinful nature—or a distorted story?- Why Romans should be read as one complete argument- The difference between "flesh" and "sin nature"- How identity, not shame, becomes the starting point for transformation- Why Jesus came to reveal who you've always been00:00 – Welcome & Introducing the Reframe Series02:26 – You've Always Been in Union04:29 – Why This Series Is Challenging06:08 – Learning to Think, Not What to Think08:31 – The Purpose of Reframe10:35 – You Were Not Born Sinful12:28 – Does the Bible Begin with Sin or Blessing?14:06 – Original Blessing vs. Original Sin16:35 – What Does "Sin" Actually Mean?20:03 – Adam Didn't Pass Down a Sin Nature22:28 – Understanding Romans Correctly27:47 – Adam's Story vs. Jesus' Story28:38 – What Does "Flesh" Really Mean?30:03 – Scriptures Supporting Original Blessing35:27 – Living from Blessing Instead of Shame39:15 – Prayer & Final Encouragement40:10 – The Ministry of Reconciliation41:44 – Church Announcements & Closing
