All sin separates us from God. Some sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, gluttony—can destroy us. Jesus gives us virtues that overcome these vices.This 8-week series examines the Seven Deadly Sins not to shame, but to reveal our need for grace. Each week shows how these sins infiltrate life, harm relationships, and distance us from God—and how Jesus provides the way out. The final week focuses on virtue and victorious life in Christ.This week we study wrath—distinguishing righteous anger from the "anger of man" James says fails God's purposes. We live in an "age of rage": social media, traffic, and daily life normalize quick temper and revenge. That's dangerous. How do we choose kindness?

This series has focused on God's voice in six specific ways that we know he speaks to people, but we can't ever take it for granted that God does and has spoken to us most strongly in the Bible itself. It might happen more than you think that you're waiting for God to speak to you through one of the means we've discussed in the series already but you might not realize the answer you seek is already there waiting for you in Scripture. In this message, Pastor Joel unpacks how Scripture is God's word and how it has a power to it that is unique among books to deconstruct and cultivate our hearts and minds. He also talks about several important ways to discern the voice of God in Scripture.

"It's about speaking a language kids can understand. Kids understand fun!" - Joel EvristIs fun just filler in kids ministry, or is it foundational?In this episode of Kids Ministry Calling, Jana welcomes back pastor, author, and actor Joel Evrist for a joy-filled and practical conversation about why fun is more than entertainment, it's deeply biblical.Joel unpacks three powerful “whys” behind incorporating fun into ministry: the principle of incarnation, the ministry of hospitality, and the celebration of joy in Christ. Then he gets practical, sharing four “hows” to help leaders create environments where kids feel welcomed, engaged, and excited to grow in their faith.From contagious attitudes and hands-on activities to simple games, music, and creative moments that build confidence, this episode is packed with ideas you can implement right away. You'll be reminded that fun doesn't have to be competitive, complicated, or perfectly tied to the lesson to be meaningful, it simply needs to create connection.If you're ready to rethink fun as a tool for discipleship and create spaces where kids experience both belonging and biblical truth, this conversation will inspire you to lead with joy.SHOW LINKS: The Gospel Project Explore the Bible On Location Next Gen Tech ResetProtecting Kids in a Digital World: Sarah Siegand on Online Safety, Parenting, and Church PartnershipsConnect with Lifeway Kids Leave us a voice message here with any questions or feedback!

It is a disposition of the heart focused on resentment, comparison, insecurity, entitlement, and jealousy. Envy can stay hidden, and it's the one sin no one really enjoys.

God speaks to us through many styles of communication, but perhaps none is so common as what is often called the still, small voice: a voice that comes to us like a thought in our head but that we can recognize to as a thought from God. We see this voice used in the famous story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19, and Paul talks about it in 1 Corinthians 2. It signifies a closeness to us from God that indicates his great love for us and desire for intimacy. In this message Pastor Joel explains how this voice works and gets really practical about how we can distinctly tell God's voice apart from the other thoughts in our head.

Pastor Joel highlights three hallmarks of genuine revival: 1) Disciples are Devoted to Scripture and the kingdom of God, 2) Imposters are Exposed because of the reality of spiritual warfare, and 3) Repentance is Real and happens in the Church.

Let us know if this message impacted you!In this message Pastor Joel explores how honour—or the lack of it—can make or break our families and relationships.Using the story of the Rekabites from Jeremiah 35, we see a family who honored their forefather's commands for generations, living as nomads and abstaining from wine. God contrasted them with Judah, who repeatedly ignored His voice. One group lived in blessing; the other faced disaster.Honor means recognizing someone's value and treating them as significant. In Hebrew, it means "heavy" or "weighty." In Greek, it means "precious" or "valuable." When we truly honor God, we become people who honor others—parents, children, spouses, siblings, and even those who've hurt us.The promise is simple but profound: "Those who honor me I will honor" (1 Samuel 2:30). When we choose to honor God and others—even when it's difficult—we invite His favor into our homes and families.Where might God be calling you to restore honor today? Support the show

Approved by God reveals how Scripture—from Eden to the Cross—shows that God removes sin-consciousness by clothing us in Christ, declaring us accepted, blessed, and approved before we are ever adjusted or proven.

When we consider how God speaks, spectacular methods like dreams, visions, angels and more might come to mind. And while God does speaking in those ways—as we've studied already in this series—more often he speaks to us in “ordinary” ways, such as the topic of this message: a human voice. In this message, Pastor Joel explains what is happening when God speaks through people, some common ways it happens, and how when God does speak through people like us it's a parable of the gospel.

Pastor Joel teaches why it is so important for us to live in community with each other. God can redeem the pain of past relationships and mature you in the context of relationships as you commit to doing life with others.

All sin separates us from God. Some sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, gluttony—can destroy us.

Each week shows how these sins infiltrate life, harm relationships, and distance us from God—and how Jesus provides the way out. The final week focuses on virtue and victorious life in Christ.The concept of the "deadly sins" goes all the way back to Aristotle, but the Christian perception originated in the fourth century with a group known as the "desert fathers." These men, seeking freedom from the corruption of the world, committed to a hermitic life in the desert of Africa (mostly Egypt). But when they arrived in the desert, they discovered the corruption had followed them there! Out of this experience came the understanding that sin isn't primarily "out there" but "in here." And today, you and I have 1700 years of experienced shoulders to stand on as we fight these tendencies in our own souls. These men discovered the depth of their own sin in the desert, and in that same place they also discovered that the power of the Gospel could lead them into lives of virtue and victory.Let's listen in…LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Glittering Vices by Rebecca DeYoung and other recommended reading for this series• Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant• Timothy George: “4 Groups of Sin” 1) immorality 2) idolatry 3) animosity 4) Intemperance• Download the free study guide, complete transcript, and show notes here.• Scripture References: Galatians 5, verses 15-26; Romans 7; Hebrews• Find out more about Covenant Church at ⁠covenantexperience.com

It can be hard to hear God's voice when we don't know how he speaks. Lots of times people wonder if God is speaking through this or that voice or experience, but can't know for sure. In this message, Pastor Joel begins to talk about the six ways we see God speak in our Bibles, beginning with the first four, which we could call “supernatural” or “spectacular” means: Dreams/visions, an audible voice, a phenomenon and a voice, and a messenger (angel). He also talks about one way we should not be looking for God to speak to us—through our feelings or "vibes" about something.

Hearing God's voice is something Jesus tells us is possible for all of his sheep. But if we go into it with the wrong ideas about it, it can cause us to miss the voice of God and become frustrated and quit listening for it. In this message Pastor Joel walks through some guidelines (five of them, to be exact) to consider what will put us in a position to hear the voice of God well in our day to day lives. They have to do with the centrality of grace and God speaking, how God sorts out our hearts when he speaks, why we should be looking for God to speak to us in quieter ways rather than with bright, neon lights, and more.
