I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Dave & Cody are joined by film professor Paul to review Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which just posted the biggest live-action opening of 2026 and the best reviews of Nolan's career. The table digs into Ludwig Göransson's score, the IMAX cinematography, the 60-foot Cyclops puppet, Robert Pattinson's genuinely repulsive heel turn, and John Leguizamo's surprise best-in-career performance. Dave makes the case that softening Odysseus's hubris costs the third act its humility, and lays out a Pastor's Corner connecting the film's Sea Peoples references to the real Bronze Age collapse and what happens to a civilization that loses its faith. Plus a recast, an Argos tribute, and a spirited defense of Taco Bell.SPOILER WARNING: Full spoilers for The Odyssey after the news segment.Movie reviewed: The Odyssey (2026) — Written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Elliot Page, Jon Bernthal, and John Leguizamo. In theaters now.

The best part of church happens when we gather together! The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. Through Christ's death and resurrection, he has brought us near to God, and now as he gathers us together, we must help encourage one another to endure as the day of his glorious return approaches!

Why does God's Word transform some people while others seem to stay the same? Why do some believers walk in God's promises while others struggle to see results? And why do so many people start strong but never finish well? Jesus answered all of these questions in one powerful parable. In this message, Pastor DaVon unpacks the Parable of the Sower and reveals the hidden reasons the Word produces fruit in some lives but not in others. If you've ever wondered why the Word doesn't seem to be “working,” this message will help you identify what's holding it back and how to become the kind of person who produces a harvest that lasts.

The Fruit of the Spirit - Part 2 - Further Steps for Jesus | Galatians 5:22-25 | 19 July 2026 - Sunday Morning | Dr. Brad Weniger, Pastor

Homily, July 19, 2026, Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, by Pastor, Fr. Jeff VonLehmen

Fear has a way of convincing us that running from God's will is the safer option. Jonah believed that if he could simply get far enough away from Nineveh, he could avoid what God had called him to do. But every step away from God's will only led him deeper into trouble.Over the past few weeks we've seen Jonah disobey God's direction, deliberately choose his own path, and become deceived into thinking he could outrun the Lord. This week we discover the devastating truth about disobedience: it never affects only us.One of the greatest lies we tell ourselves is that our choices are private. We convince ourselves that if no one sees us, no one gets hurt. Scripture tells a completely different story.As Pastor reminded us, "Your storm affects all of us."We don't live in a bubble. Every decision we make impacts the people on our boat and everyone sailing in our ocean. Jonah's decision to flee from God nearly cost innocent sailors their lives. His rebellion created a storm that everyone around him had to endure.Our obedience to God matters because other people's lives are connected to ours.Romans 5:12 reminds us that Adam's sin brought death into the world, and its effects spread to everyone. Sin has always had consequences beyond the person committing it. Likewise, Paul warns in 1 Corinthians 8 that our freedom should never become a stumbling block that leads someone else away from Christ. We are called to build others up, not confuse them by claiming to follow Jesus while comfortably living in sin.Jonah became the very picture of hypocrisy.When questioned by the terrified sailors, Jonah boldly declared, "I am a Hebrew and I worship (fear) the Lord, the God of heaven." His theology was accurate, but his life contradicted his confession. He claimed to fear God while actively running from Him.As Pastor said, "A lot of us can give a church answer, but what really counts is, are we living it?"Knowing the truth without obeying it is still disobedience. James 4:17 makes that clear: "Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not to do it."The sailors, who had no relationship with the true God, displayed more spiritual sensitivity than Jonah. They prayed. They worked. They rowed with everything they had. They desperately searched for a way to save everyone on board.Meanwhile, the only believer on the ship was asleep.Jonah had become so consumed with his own rebellion that he lost compassion for the people around him. His heart had grown hard. Instead of caring about those whose lives were hanging in the balance, he remained indifferent.An unguarded heart can do that.The book of Jonah becomes a contest between Jonah's stubbornness and God's relentless love. Jonah never gets one step ahead of the Lord. Every attempt to escape God's will is met by God's pursuit, not because He wants to destroy Jonah, but because He is committed to restoring him.Pastor reminded us that while not every hardship is God's discipline, Jonah's storm was. God caused it, sustained it, and orchestrated it with one purpose: to bring Jonah back.God's motivation was never revenge. It was love.Jonah initiated the storm through his disobedience, but God prepared every step of Jonah's path toward repentance.The deception of sin is believing we can continue living in disobedience while keeping our private world together. Eventually, the storm spills over onto everyone around us.When the sailors finally threw Jonah into the sea, the storm stopped immediately. The sea became calm, and those pagan sailors responded by fearing the Lord, offering sacrifices, and making vows to Him.Ironically, the unbelievers responded to God more readily than His own prophet.The message closes with three powerful lessons from Jonah's life.First, God is committed to restoring His children. He doesn't abandon us when we wander. He lovingly pursues us until we return.Second, we must guard our hearts from losing compassion for the people in our boat. The sailors were moving toward God while Jonah was moving away. They desired God's will while Jonah ignored it. We must never become so focused on ourselves that we stop caring about the people God has placed around us.Finally, we must stay alert to the consequences of sin. Our choices matter. Our obedience matters. The people watching our lives matter.As James 4:17 reminds us, "Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not to do it."May we be people who don't simply know the truth or give the right church answers. May we be people who live what we believe, walk in obedience, and point others toward Christ through both our words and our lives.

God is not like us. It's a very human tendency to try to make Him like us, or to frame our thoughts about Him in human terms - but it's wrong. When the seraphs cry "Holy, holy, holy," they declare that God is separate, apart, other. This week Jim will help us understand some of the "most different differences" between the Creator and His creatures. He'll talk about God's eternal existence, His infinite knowledge and power, and his immutable character.

The world, the flesh and the devil are highlighted to wake up Christians to the reality of the battle for the soul.  With this in mind, instruction on the whole armor of God is given to show how to fight.  In order to be victorious, one must expect the battle and be equipped with what God has provided.

God is not like us. It's a very human tendency to try to make Him like us, or to frame our thoughts about Him in human terms - but it's wrong. When the seraphs cry "Holy, holy, holy," they declare that God is separate, apart, other. This week Jim will help us understand some of the "most different differences" between the Creator and His creatures. He'll talk about God's eternal existence, His infinite knowledge and power, and his immutable character.

It's a new installment of the FTC Film Club, and we have found a film the boys are especially fired up to discuss. After a bit of banter about the new Steven Spielberg film Disclosure Day, Jared Wilson and Ronni Kurtz launch into a spirited discussion of the 2012 film adaptation of the musical Les Miserables. And Jared offers a theory on Russell Crowe's singing voice that he hopes will make you reconsider any criticism you have of this incredible movie.

As Christians, we face spiritual warfare.  We must put on the whole armor of God and be strong in the Lord, because our own strength is not enough to fight the devil.  We are not immune from temptation, and we all struggle with problems we cannot seem to put behind us.  We must yield ourselves to God and recognize He is the Master of our soul.  He wants us to face the battle, and He equips us to fight the enemy.  Ephesians 6  VF-2548 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.
