A new MP3 sermon from Christ Church Presbyterian is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Who Applies Salvation to Our Hearts? | April 25 Subtitle: Strength for Today Speaker: John Blevins III Broadcaster: Christ Church Presbyterian Event: Devotional Date: 4/25/2025 Bible: Titus 3:3-7 Length: 9 min.
In this sermon, Pastor Jason Polk takes us to the heart of the Palm Sunday narrative—where Jesus is declared King by the crowd, rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, and immediately sets to work flipping tables and expectations. Pastor Jason emphasizes that restoration begins with coronation—acknowledging Jesus as the King of our hearts and lives. Through rich narrative and humor, he paints the scene of a city swelling with hope, a people longing for deliverance, and a Savior who defies every worldly notion of power. He explores the significance of Jesus' obedience to prophecy, His heart that weeps for those who are close yet still far, and His bold act of cleansing the temple—a call to make space for God to truly dwell within us. This message is a powerful reminder that Jesus is not just a gentle King riding in humility—He is a King who remodels, restores, and reigns. And when we throw down our cloaks and declare Him as King, we invite real transformation into every part of our lives.

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study and focus on chapters 1 & 2. We reflect on how God originally designed us in the Garden of Eden, how the lies and idols we invite into our lives strip away this identity, and how the Jubilee is a time of restoration. We also dive deep into the biblical significance of the ten plagues, why tearing down our idols is a painful process, and the beauty of hoping for a good not yet seen.

What does the Holy Spirit want to co-create with me this Lent? What idols do I sense the Lord destroying in my life? Discussion Questions: How are you approaching a Jubilee Lent differently? What is taking up more room in your life than it needs to? How do you see Lent as a season of hardship versus a season of restoration? How can you press into prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to open yourself up to freedom this Lent? Quotes to Ponder: “The Story of the biblical jubilee does not begin with Leviticus 25, the first chapter where the institution is mentioned. The jubilee is at its heart an act of restoration, which means it recreates and reestablishes a situation that existed beforehand. And what is that situation? It's the Good Creation!” (Jesus and the Jubilee, John Bergsma, Page 9) Scripture for Lectio: “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31) Sponsor - Into the Deep: A Lamp & a Light is a Scripture prayer journal for women that walks you through the movements of lectio divina with prompting questions.

Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com Far too many believers live without a clear, biblical understanding of what truly drives their lives—or why they keep falling into the same struggles. Religion has stripped us of our God-given authority, convincing us that the devil is the sole source of our problems. But that's not what the Bible teaches! When we focus on battling the enemy, we unknowingly weaken our identity in Christ. Even worse, some religious teachings falsely claim that God Himself orchestrates our struggles to teach us lessons. But this contradicts everything we know about His nature—His promises, His covenant, and His very name! This week, we will dive deep into Scripture to expose the religious myths that have kept us blinded to the incredible freedom and power we have in Christ. It's time to step into the truth, break the cycle, and embrace the life God intended for you. Join me for this week's message: "Thoughts of Our Hearts"—where we unlock the secret to God's solution for absolute victory!

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our series on the Sermon on the Mount, as Jesus flips the script on how we think about anger. He challenges us to consider the question, what if God is not merely concerned with outward behavior, but with what is in our hearts? Jesus reveals that he has a much higher standard than simply not committing murder. Today, we'll explore what it means to be angry while still honoring our fellow image-bearers, and to follow God's commands not only in the letter of the law but in spirit. Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on January 26, 2025, at 9:30am. You can find us online at nwhills.com.

Warriors, have you ever felt the weight of life's uncertainties pressing on your heart and mind? In those moments, the world offers temporary solutions, but God promises something far greater: His peace. Philippians 4:7 speaks of a peace that surpasses all understanding—a divine gift that calms our fears, soothes our anxieties, and keeps us grounded in His love and sovereignty.Today, we dive into this beautiful gift, uncovering its source, its purpose, and its profound power to transform our lives, even amidst chaos. Let's discover together what it means to experience the peace of God that guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Philippians 4:7"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."God's peace isn't just the absence of conflict or stress; it's the presence of His assurance, a calm that anchors us when everything else feels unstable. This peace is rooted not in our circumstances but in our trust in God's unchanging nature and promises.* A Gift Beyond Understanding:God's peace defies human logic. It doesn't depend on our ability to control situations but on our willingness to surrender them to God. When we release our burdens to Him, we make space for His peace to reign in our hearts.* A Guard for Our Hearts and Minds:Just as a soldier stands guard over a city, God's peace protects us from the attacks of anxiety, fear, and doubt. It serves as a shield, keeping us aligned with His truth and free from the chaos of the world.* Trusting in God's Sovereignty:True peace comes when we fully trust in God's plan, even when we don't understand it. By focusing on His character—faithful, loving, and all-powerful—we find rest for our souls, no matter the storms we face.Conclusion:God's peace is a gift freely given, but it requires us to trust Him completely. It's not about avoiding the battles of life but facing them with the confidence that He is with us, working all things for our good.Question of the Day:What area of your life needs the peace of God today? How can you surrender it to Him?Let's Pray:Father God,Thank You for Your peace that surpasses all understanding. In a world filled with uncertainties, we ask for Your calming presence to guard our hearts and minds. Help us to trust in Your sovereignty and find rest in Your promises. Teach us to rely on You and not our own understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.Brothers, the gift of God's peace is waiting for you. Trust Him, surrender your worries, and let His peace guard your heart and mind. Let's Get To Work!My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a series on the Sermon on the Mount. A profound longing echoes throughout Scripture—the desire to see God. But what does it mean to truly see Him? To answer this, we begin not in Matthew, but in Exodus, where God's relationship with His people unfolds through moments of faith, failure, and redemption. At one point, Moses asks to see God, but God says he can't see His face and live. But Jesus says something different, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Let's find out how these two seemingly contradictory statements are both true.

We discuss what that grunting means though and fortunately, as much as we hate it, it isn't the negative forboding that many of us initially perceived.Let us know what you thought of episode 4 in the comments.

There are many kinds of PRAYER. One kind is INTERCESSION or TRAVAILING in prayer: “My little children, for whom I LABOUR in birth again until Christ is formed in you” (Galatians 4:19). We need to YIELD to the HOLY SPIRIT, for Him to pray through us as He wants. We want to yield our hearts & bodies to Him, to pray God's will into people's lives: “It is not by (human) might, and not by (human) power, but by My SPIRIT, says the Lord” (Zechariah 4:6). We need to let God fill us with His love, so that we pray from a heart of love. Everywhere Jesus went, He was MOVED with COMPASSION to meet the needs of people, and God's POWER was manifested through Him (Matthew 9:36, 14:14, 15:32, 20:34, Mark 1:41, 6:34, 8:2, 9:22, Luke 7:13). Romans 5:5: “The LOVE of God has been SHED ABROAD in OUR HEARTS by the HOLY SPIRIT, who was GIVEN to us.” Thus, the same compassion (love) that moved Jesus is in us. But we have to learn to yield to it. When we are moved with COMPASSION, we not only recognise their need and feel for the one who is suffering, but God also EMPOWERS us to MEET their NEED. One way to do this is to PRAY in the SPIRIT for them (Romans 8:26-27). We also need to pray in faith. Faith does not depend on fickle feelings. It is a matter of believing God and His Word, and then we need to exercise our faith by obeying His Word, acting as if it is true. We become STRONG in FAITH by (1) MEDITATING in God's WORD, and (2) EXERCISING our FAITH, by corresponding actions. We build up our FAITH MUSCLES, when we EXERCISE our FAITH (put it into action). All prayer, when prayed in faith to God the Father in the Name of Jesus, is powerful. One area where you can BUILD up your FAITH by EXERCISE is in the area of PRAYER, especially PRAYING in TONGUES. If you never exercise your faith by praying in tongues, trusting the Holy Spirit to give you the utterance (Acts 2:4), then your faith in that area will never grow! When you receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, you automatically receive the ability to pray in tongues. But you must exercise this gift to activate it, so it is fruitful in your life. It's the same way with God's LOVE. He has already given us His LOVE (Romans 5:5). We must believe this truth and put His love into action in our lives, by walking in love. God wants us to agree with His Word, that He has already given us His love – and start exercising it! He says to you: “I have shed My love abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit” (Romans 5:5). You are a love child of a love God. We still have the flesh, but God's love in our heart is more powerful than our flesh. God has given us free-will, so we can choose to love or not to love. If you are born again, you are His child, and so you have His nature in your spirit, you have His LOVE in you, but by not exercising His love, you are allowing your flesh to take control of your life. But if you do EXERCISE the LOVE of God in you by faith (not feelings), for example by PRAYING for someone when you do not feel like it, then His love will fill you, and flow through you, and you will grow in love and become a lover of mankind, full of mercy and compassion. You become a person MOVED with COMPASSION to DO something, for example, YIELDING to the SPIRIT, asking Him to take control of your lips, to PRAY through you God's perfect will for that person. Matthew 9:36-38: “When He saw the multitudes, He was MOVED with COMPASSION for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep with no shepherd. Then He SAID to His disciples: “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Therefore, PRAY the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.” Jesus was moved with COMPASSION, and His next thought is to PRAY. Therefore, there is a linking together of LOVE and PRAYER. When you have COMPASSION for someone, you want to reach God on their behalf. Today, God is calling His people to lay down our lives and PRAY. In the days to come, IF we will lay down our lives and PRAY, we will be entering into God's call for our life, and we will begin to become unselfish. The nature of GOD is to GIVE (John 3:16). The greatest joy in the world is for us to love others, for example, to help someone in trouble. Jesus wants us to be known for our LOVE (John 13:34-35). Standing in the gap for someone else is an act of love. INTERCESSORY PRAYER is an ACT of LOVE. As you sow to the Spirit by doing good, such as interceding for others, you will REAP everlasting LIFE (Galatians 6:7-9). YIELD your tongue to the HOLY SPIRIT, and pray in unknown tongues, trusting in the Spirit to give you the words (Acts 2:4): “for he who speaks in an unknown tongue does not SPEAK to men but TO GOD, for no one understands him; however, IN the SPIRIT he speaks MYSTERIES” (1Corinthians 14:2).

In this week's episode, we continue with our book study on the Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (chapters 9-12). We discuss themes like the false narrative of the enemy, the dynamic of stoney hearts that God wants to restore and turn to flesh, true living of the paschal mystery, and the power of God's resurrection power in our lives. We hope you enjoy this episode! Heather's One Thing - The Abiding Together small groups! We love you! Sister Miriam's One Thing - Fire Within- Fr. Thomas Dubay Michelle's One Thing - The movie “Gifted” Journal Questions: Instead of being child-like, we can be childish with God. What is the difference between these two dynamics that I can see in my own life? The enemy makes empty promises. What is one empty promise that he has made to me? What is one promise of God and His faithfulness that I have seen at work in my life? “Battle looks like surrender.” What is one battle that I need to move into a disposition of surrender to God? Discussion Questions: What is one of the false narratives that the enemy has been telling in your life? What do you think the Father wants to say about that false narrative? What area of your heart do you feel has been turned to stone or has been hardened? Why? “Hurting people, hurt people.” How have you experienced this concept and how can we offer a response of healing? Where have you settled for the dry bread from the enemy instead of the banquet that God is offering you? Quote to Ponder: "Aslan is on the move” - (Mr. Beaver) C.S.

In this episode, I welcome back Rebecca Li to talk about her new book, Illumination: A Guide to the Buddhist Method of No Method. Rebecca and I had a conversation in May of 2021, about her previous book, Allow Joy into Our Hearts: Chan Practice in Uncertain Times. Rebecca is a meditation and Dharma teacher in the lineage of Chan Master Sheng Yen and founder and guiding teacher of Chan Dharma Community, a Chan Buddhist practice and study community made up of individuals committed to cultivating wisdom and compassion for the benefit of all beings. Rebecca has two decades of Dharma and meditation teaching experience, leading retreats or teaching at Buddhist centers in North America, Europe, and Asia. She has been featured in several Buddhist publications, including Tricycle, Lion's Roar, and Buddhadharma. She is also one of the founding board members of The GenX Buddhist Teachers Sangha where she continues to serve as a board member. Rebecca is a sociology professor and lives with her husband in New Jersey. In Allow Joy into Our Hearts, Rebecca wrote about Chan Practice and she continues to teach the path of Chan Buddhism in the book we will discuss today, Illumination. In Illumination, she dives deeper into the Chan meditation of Silent Illumination and deeper still into what causes our suffering and how Silent Illumination can help us identify and help decrease the causes of our suffering. In her book, Rebecca takes us on a fascinating, deep-dive into the method of no method in silent illumination and guides us in the mechanics of this type of practice. In our conversation we talked about, among other things: How, in our meditation, we turn thoughts into enemies, rather than allowing thoughts and feelings to be fully experienced and felt … About how tend to try to "achieve" as meditators, as if a sport … And about the modes of operation: craving, aversion, trance, problem-solving, intellectualizing, quietism, and forgetting-emptiness … Buy the book (Amazon affiliate link): Illumination: A Guide to the Method of No-Method Learn more about Rebecca Li and her Dharma talks, guided meditation offerings, and retreats: https://rebeccali.org/ *Special Everyday Buddhism Substack / Words From My Teachers podcast subscription promo code: Redeem by 3/31/2024 for 20% subscription for 1 year!

Back in October, my husband Brad and I had the opportunity to meet Mark Vroegop at the Our Hearts are Home conference in Indianapolis. Mark is the lead pastor of College Park Church in Indianapolis. He and his wife, Sarah, are the parents of four living children, and a daughter, Sylvia, who was stillborn in 2004. He is the author of a book titled “Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament”, in which he explores how we can bring our sorrow to God by vocalizing our pain through honest spiritual wrestling.

In this Bible Story, we learn about the rise and fall of Joash who began his rule as a young child, growing under the love and care of the high priest. However, when the priest dies, Joash's heart grows sour and against the things of God. He causes the people to stumble, and is ultimately remembered for his wickedness. This story is inspired by 2 Kings 12 & 2 Chronicles 24.
