One of the greatest crises of Christianity is that we've lost our understanding of how to actually do what Paul Is teaching in this passage of Romans. I'm not exaggerating! By and large over most of the past 2,000 years church leaders have tried to make God's people holy by warning them not to do bad things and scolding them when they did which, as we all know, doesn't work. Like the man Paul describes in Romans 7:15-25, after a good scolding we grow sorrowful and try to exert our willpower to change our behavior or attitudes only to find our flesh is too strong to resist. We end up feeling like prisoners trapped in our own bodies. After enough attempts and failures, people generally resort to one of two options: either they live a double life pretending to be a good Christian while secretly carrying on some kind of hypocrisy, or they grow exasperated with themselves and God and quit trying altogether announcing they simply aren't able to live the Christian life, so they might as well enjoy a life of sin. The tragedy here is that there really Is a way to experience genuine transformation. That cycle of frustration and condemnation so associated with Christianity is absolutely unnecessary. But in order to find freedom and live a victorious Christian life, a person must learn to "walk according to the Spirit." Isn't it time to stop scolding and start teaching people how? Somewhere over the centuries the Church forgot how to access the power of the Holy Spirit, but that's what Paul is teaching us again today.

This week, Pastor Dave and Pastor Steve discuss how love is about choosing patience, sacrifice, grace, and care for others—even when it's difficult and we can't expect that same love in return.

Pastor Steve Gray explores how to move from the back of the line to the front in God's Kingdom. Drawing lessons from Matthew 20's parable of the workers in the vineyard, Pastor Steve illustrates how latecomers can find equal acceptance and opportunity with God. He reflects on personal growth, spiritual revival, and the shifts he observes in religious communities, urging Christians to embrace a deeper commitment and transformation. Discover how individuals, previously unnoticed, can rise to significant influence in times of spiritual awakening. Join the conversation on faith, renewal, and living a life that transcends the ordinary.Key Takeaways:God's generosity and acceptance are central themes, emphasized through the parable of the workers in the vineyard, indicating that those who come later in their faith journey are equally valued.A spiritual revolution is underway, promoting a return to faith and family values across society, aimed at personal and communal transformation.Revival starts within; Christians are called to embody Christ-like qualities, moving away from judgement and division to be lights in the world.Many who have yet to be noticed will rise during this spiritual awakening, similar to historical religious revivals witnessed in prior eras.All individuals, regardless of when they join the faith journey, are offered the same opportunity to serve and witness God's promises and revival in their lives.Looking for more?

This portion of Paul's letter is specifically addressed to the Jewish members of the churches in Rome. He is explaining to them a spiritual truth based on their common experience as Jews in reading and trying to obey the Law of Moses (Genesis through Deuteronomy). Today two thousand years later as we listen in on that conversation, it's easy to miss how it applies to us. But it does apply. In fact, Paul is talking about an area of relationship with God in which we all struggle. There is an odd phenomenon we observe in ourselves. When God speaks to us, whether through His written Word, or by the inner voice of the Holy Spirit, or prophetically through another human vessel, there can be an initial, momentary flash of stubborn resistance even though we may be certain we just heard from Him. As a born-again believer I love Him and have made a sincere, general commitment to follow Him in every way. Yet there's something about His specific ways of doing things that runs counter to the way I would expect or prefer to do them. Often, no almost always, when God speaks some kind of command to me, I find my first reaction is to argue with Him. My emotional response, if put into words, might be summarized as, "Oh no! You've got to be kidding!" This passage helps to explain why I react that way, and that insight is essential for me if I am going to let God train me to become like His Son.

2 Corinthians, Steve Rains, LifePoint Church, Valley Center, Kansas, Wichita, Assembly of God

Pastor Steve teaches that the good news of the gospel is something to believe, and it's something to embody.

How God's people respond to prophecy—especially prophecy portending hardship—reveals where ultimate priorities lie. Some respond in fear to warnings of coming tribulation, while others respond with speculative diagnoses that match today's headlines with Bible prophecy. Daniel responded with faith in God's character and confidence in His promises; he prayed in the direction of both. "So I gave my face to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes," Daniel 9:3 (LSB). God gave Daniel prophetic visions of Israel's scary future not to satisfy his curiosity, but to realign His people to His priorities, and strengthen their faithfulness to Him. That's why Daniel's prayer in Chapter 9 shows the same pattern we find in the apostles praying Psalm 2, in John's vision of heaven, and in Christ's instruction to His disciples concerning prayer. When God promises His people something, we're meant to think and pray in the direction of those promises, letting His word direct our petitions, and then our lives. This Lord's Day, we'll begin our look at Daniel 9, starting with a prayer that precedes one of the Old Testament's clear prophecies of our Lord's first advent, Calvary, and the inauguration of His covenant of grace. Join us as we turn to Daniel 9:1-3 and consider "Back to the Future: When Prophecy Prompts Prayer." Prepare for Sunday: Read Daniel 9:1-19, meditating on verses 1-3. What historic setting is described in verses 1-3? What specifically was Daniel reading? What was Daniel's immediate response after understanding God's promise? What does Daniel's attention to Jeremiah's prophecy reveal about his view of Scri

What does the Bible say men are to be? It is clear that we're living in a day where men are not only absent in the home but irresponsible with their main function as men. Many profess a faith in Jesus Christ but do not truly live out what they profess. In today's study we're going to begin a look at 3 things men are to be. Listen as Pastor Steve talks about the first in 'What Men Are to Be.'

What if some of the most impactful people in church history were people the world would have overlooked? In the final week of Women of the Bible, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia explores the remarkable women who helped shape and strengthen the early church. From Mary Magdalene and Lydia to Priscilla, Phoebe, Lois, and Eunice, these women invested their lives, resources, homes, influence, and faith into the mission of Jesus—and the Gospel spread because of it. You'll discover: Why God invites ordinary people to invest in eternal purposes How faithfulness matters more than fame or recognition Why the church works best when men and women serve together in unity You don't have to be famous to be faithful. You don't need a platform to make an impact. God can use your life right where you are. - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

Pastor Steve teaches out of God's Word in Matthew 19.Listen to CORE TRUTH RADIO every weekday at 5:30pm on KKLA 99.5 FM!

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 5/31/26 by Pastor Steve Shields. Pastor Steve takes us through Philippians 4:10-23 concerning contentment. Paul has a strange view of contentment. His contentment doesn’t come from his possessions. His contentment isn’t a zen kind of thing. His contentment isn’t because he doesn’t know any better. There are three decisions that take us to contentment. Embrace a worthwhile life objective. Worthwhile in terms of outcome and effectiveness. Engage in meaningful partnerships. Partnering in a worthwhile life objective enhances contentment. Expect a satisfying outcome. Expect things to change in time.

Noah and Zoe have been "just talking" for a while. They like the connection — but they're not ready for the commitment. And honestly? A lot of us approach marriage and family the same way.In week 3 of Adulting with Jesus, Pastor Steve looks at what Jesus actually said about marriage and family — and why the cost of commitment is exactly what makes it worth everything.We'll look at what Jesus said in Matthew 19, what Paul reveals in Ephesians 5, and what Psalm 127 says about children — and why all of it points to the greatest love story ever told.Whether you're single, dating, married, or somewhere in between, this message is for you.

When it comes to Bible prophecy, we mostly want to know: "Are we almost there? Is the end of the age near?" And plenty of voices are quick to insist, "Almost... the end is just around the corner. See how you can match today's headlines with your Bible? Surely the Lord will return in our lifetime." Daniel 8 will not let us settle for that kind of reasoning. Daniel's troubling vision of a ram, a goat, and a little horn reminds God's people that a long journey—often marked by opposition and persecution—lies ahead before Christ's return. "But as for you," Daniel was told in verse 26 of Daniel 8, "conceal the vision." What Daniel concealed, history has since revealed: a pattern of rulers who oppose God and persecute His people, a pattern that points beyond itself to the final enemy of Christ yet to come. Whether Christ returns today or generations from now, His people are called to faithful endurance. Until that day, God's people are to be busy with their King's mission, confident in His sovereign control over even the scariest circumstances. Daniel himself modeled that response: "Then I rose up again and did the king's work," verse 27. We are called to the same response: "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful," Hebrews 10:23. On Sunday, we'll turn to Daniel 8 and discover why God gives prophecy—not to fuel speculation, but to strengthen His people for faithful endurance. Join us as we consider, "Back to the Future: God's People Under Pressure." Get ready: Read Daniel 8:1-27. What animals appear in Daniel's vision in verses 3 through 5? What, specifically, does the "little horn" do? Why

Good intentions aren't enough. Wanting to please God and live a clean life isn't enough. The incessant pressure we face is simply too much to withstand. It's like swimming against the tide. I may be able to hold on for a while, but sooner or later I'll grow weary and be carried along against my will. Unless we understand this and humbly accept our own weakness, we'll never live victorious Christian lives. This is what Paul is trying to show us. He wants us to see it's impossible to live godly lives without constantly receiving real, active help from God. So we'll understand why, he analyzes what happened to the human race when Adam sinned, and then he shows us what changes when we put our faith in Jesus... and what doesn't, that is, not yet. Knowing what does change and what doesn't change yet makes all the difference in the world. It explains why I fail and teaches me what I must do to succeed. Any Christian who has struggled with an addiction or been overwhelmed by compulsive emotions; any pastor or caregiver who has tried to help someone be released from bondage; anyone who's wondered why so many Christians fail to live the Christian life successfully will find the answer in these chapters (Ro 5-8). We and the entire church in the 21st century desperately need to understand them. Frankly, it's life and death. People are trapped and miserable, waiting for someone to teach them how to do what Paul says here.

Pastor Steve and Pastor Dave discuss God's presence with us in the Holy Spirit - how the Spirit walks through us, guides us, and empowers us, beyond even our own ability and understanding.

Life in this world is a tremendous struggle for anyone who expresses the desire to follow God. The Lord understands the battle and greatly appreciates any who are willing to fight it. He is going to richly reward those who live their lives on the Narrow Way.

What if God isn't looking for the most gifted person in the room—but simply the one willing to say yes?

You'll discover: Why courage rooted in God can influence everyone around you How wisdom helps us navigate difficult and complicated decisions Why God often uses available people more than capable people God is not waiting for perfection. He's not looking for the most talented person in the room. He's simply looking for someone willing to say, “Yes, Lord.” - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

Just as Abraham's faith brought him righteousness and great blessings, those who have faith in Jesus Christ also receive righteousness and great blessings. Yet as Paul reminds us in this passage, our faith doesn't always protect us from suffering. In fact, some times we suffer because we have faith. We still live on a rebellious planet, in rebellious bodies and during a season of time in which Satan is active. So, along with blessings Paul says we can also expect "tribulations," and by that term he certainly means the things we suffer because of our faith in Christ (religious persecution, spiritual oppression, temptation, the pain of loving and serving...), but his words here are true for all the suffering this world brings upon us. In the midst of any type of trials, Paul wants us to remember that God is able to use those trials to make our faith stronger and to draw us closer to Him. This is why he says we can rejoice in or boast about our tribulation. Instead of destroying our faith, tribulation will only prove that our faith in God is genuine. Of course it pleases Him to see our faith endure a test, and He rewards us accordingly (Heb 11:1,2,6), but He already knew our faith was genuine. The person who actually discovers how real our faith is in the middle of a trial is... us. In difficult times we discover we really meant it when we surrendered to Jesus and took up our cross to follow Him... that there is within us a true faith that nothing can shake.

Pastor Steve prays Jesus, form in us Christ-like love that sees clearly, lives purely, and bears fruit for your glory.

Just as faith is a choice, so is unbelief. Both begin and are sustained by a decision. I decide to believe, or I decide I will not believe; I decide to look for evidence of God, or I decide to look for evidence there is no God. In effect, faith and unbelief are both forms of faith and require constant reinforcing... an ongoing pattern of choosing... an ongoing pattern of looking for evidence of God or evidence there is no God. Everyone lives life by faith. Just ask them. They'll tell you what they believe, and they guide their life accordingly and resist influences that try to change their thinking. The problem is no one can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that what they believe is true. Atheism is a faith; science is a faith; materialism is a faith; sensuality is a faith; nihilsm is a faith (there is no ground for truth or morals); existentialism is a faith (there is no real meaning to life; you have to invent one); communism is a faith, and obviously all world religions, cults and sects are faiths. As humans you and I have no choice but to live by faith. The question becomes: what will I choose to believe; what concepts will guide my life; what steps will I take to prepare for death? And whatever I choose will mold me and change me into its image. Taking this one step deeper, you might say all humans worship... but what or whom we worship varies widely.
