Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comRomans 2 Religious people in Rome often judged others while committing similar sins themselves. However, God's judgment is impartial, and all who choose to live in sin will face the day of wrath. Christians must not take God's kindness, tolerance, and patience so lightly that they choose sin while condemning others. Self-righteousness and hypocrisy lead to condemnation, as God judges based on truth rather than outward appearances. Both Jews and Gentiles are accountable to God. The Gentiles, who did not know the Law, were still accountable to their conscience, while the Jews, who possessed the Law, were judged by it. True righteousness arises from an inner transformation evident in sincere faith, not merely from external practices or specific sectarian affiliations. Circumcised hearts, shaped by the Holy Spirit, will draw praise from God. Pride among the religious can be dangerous. It is easy to see ourselves as superior to others, which leads to two critical errors: taking on the role of judging others and conveniently ignoring our own shortcomings. God shows no partiality. This truth keeps us humble, repentant, and focused on our own need for growth. It helps us develop a better attitude toward others, as we all need Jesus and will answer to Him in judgment. Unfortunately, some believers have been pointing out the sins of others while committing similar sins themselves. Everyone, whether Jew or Gentile, must honor Jesus to be saved. We cannot achieve salvation through the law. Therefore, we must be transformed from the heart to faith. Righteous Judge, we know You show no partiality. Neither history nor heritage makes us any more deserving of salvation from You. No one can perfectly keep the law, whether it is the law of conscience or the Law of Moses. Unfortunately, some pretend to do so by judging and labeling others as they overlook their own shortcomings. Please God, break our spirit and reshape us in humility if we are committing these sins. Help us to abandon hypocrisy in every form and to allow Your Holy Spirit to circumcise our hearts so that our praise will come from You. Thought Questions: - Why do some religious people judge others harshly while committing the same sins secretly? How will God respond to that? - If God will judge the secrets of men, and He knows all that you do, how should that deeply impact the way you think and live? - No one will be justified by law-keeping. How is this comforting news to hear? And how can this truth lead us to more faith in Jesus?

Paul and his companions sought to please God with their gospel ministry, and God saw fit to bless their efforts. We must have the same mindset while proclaiming Christ to the lost world.
A lot of people worry and press and push on to please God. But what if all the working and striving and staining can't do it, because it's already done? What if God ALREADY accepts you? And what if “awakening” to that reality has the power to change everything…?
Every day living as a Christian is part of a lifelong walk with Jesus. Throughout the New Testament are reminders of how we should walk, that is how we should live as followers of Christ. In 1 Thessalonians 4, there are three thoughts for us to consider: we must walk in sanctification, in brotherly love, … Continue reading Walking to Please God – 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 (5/25/25 a.m. sermon)

Every one of us has a God-shaped hole in our hearts. We're meant to walk and talk with our Creator. And it's in that relationship that we both please God and experience God's pleasure ourselves. That's the subject of part four of Pastor Bayless' message, “Aiming to Please God.” In it, you'll discover how to fill that “missing piece” in your life so you can experience abundant, faith-filled living every day. Find out how to fill your life with what truly satisfies in this powerful message!
Pastor Ryan Deas delivers a direct and convicting message: You were created to please God, not yourself. Drawing from Hebrews 11, John 8, and Romans 12, this sermon challenges the self-centered mindset of modern Christianity and calls believers back to lives of true surrender and self-denial. Pleasing God—not ourselves—is the core of real discipleship.Key Verse: “Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God.” – Romans 12:1
Speaker: Todd Arnett
Pleasing God is about much more than just making Him happy. It's in pleasing Him that we experience more of His abundance and blessing in our lives. In part three of “Aiming to Please God,” Pastor Bayless shares how when you have your priorities in order, God can and will add more to your life and prosper you in ways you never thought possible.
Yes! You are in. Confession, procrastination is an area of struggle for me. It is. My biggest holes dug have been via procrastination and pride. Here you go...If you dig that opening hook that is Marcus Rogers, Best Life. Please buy his music.Word! Pastor Ricky Jenkins is that Play of the Day. Southwest Church, Indian Wells, Ca. That came from YouTube and you can find it at the link below (in the episode description) or simply search "What Would Jesus Say to the Procrastinator", March 24, 2025.https://youtu.be/MI2gNwBp_qk?si=ojDCx6ZvSyhq51x8If that resonates, I highly recommend you listen to the rest of it. Well, one thing I learned is that I'm not alone. You all procrastinate somewhere. Yes, some do better than others. Yet take a look in the mirror (health, marriage, a strained family relationship, Faith, obeying God?). Think about it. You have a weak spot somewhere. Otherwise, you would be perfect and don't need Jesus Christ. Yet, I know you do via Rom 3:23 and your flawed nature.Now, I bet you are really good and proactive at some things. For example, health comes super easy to me. I exercise just about every day. I eat healthy almost every day. I fast often. I can control my food and liquid intake. How about you? So you are procrastinating somewhere.Where do I stumble? Finances. I've been clear on that over this podcact. Accounting for me is like eating spinach for some of you. So I'm taking Pastor Ricky's advice. I'm starting with a little bit or step each day. So far, this week, I've done it. I've already done more about my procrastination then I have in a long time. By taking little, baby steps.Where do you need to improve? What have you been delaying? Who do you need to talk to? Write it down. Challenge yourself a little bit 6 out of 7 days per week.James 4:17 - Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. New Living TranslationMan that verse cuts. I don't share it as a guilt check as much as a reality check. We all have room for improvement. Also, be free in knowing we all have room for improvement. And then honor your Abba and say ok, here is where I'm going to start at better. Please God, here is my area, guide me.Lastly, whatever you are trying to do, do it with love. Love God, Love Others. Matt 22: 36-40. Everything else you are trying to do...even overcoming procrastination hangs on doing those two commandments first, loving God. Loving Others. Doing what you know you should be doing is loving God.

My name is Rev. Alvin Lewis of Power To Change Ministry. Thank you for sharing your day with us, we would love to hear from you, your feedback is very important.Galatians 5:16-26 (NASB)16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.Power To Change Ministry Rev.

Send us a textWelcome to today's episode where we challenge the pursuit of comfort and convenience. In a world that often tempts us to settle for the easy path, we're inviting you to be different—to boldly say, “God, give me a mountain to climb.”Episode NotesTheme:Embracing God's challenges rather than choosing comfort. Just as Caleb chose the difficult, mountainous inheritance over the easier, familiar paths, we too are called to trust God and pursue growth through struggle.Scriptural Context:Joshua 14-15 details the division of the Promised Land, highlighting Caleb's unwavering faith and his request for the challenging hill country.These chapters remind us that while many opt for the easy lot, true spiritual growth is forged in the climbs we undertake for God.Key Takeaways:Challenge Over Comfort: Don't settle for lying on the spiritual beach when the mountain offers growth and victory.Caleb's Example: His bold declaration and trust in God serve as a powerful reminder that taking on challenges refines our character and deepens our faith.Practical Reflection: Evaluate your decisions—are they based on what feels easy, or are you seeking God's guidance to tackle the mountains in your life?I hope this episode inspires you to choose the difficult but rewarding path. Whether it's in your career, relationships, or personal spiritual journey, embrace the climb and trust that God's strength will carry you through every step.Thank you for joining us as we explore what it means to say, “God, give me a mountain to climb.” Enjoy the episode and be encouraged to step out in faith!Faith That Challenges.

Daily Study: Do you pray because you are supposed to? Do you go to church because you feel you have to? Do you tithe or give because you think you're robbing God if you don't? I know I've done these things and felt this way before. This is because I used to be a performance Christian, meaning I would do things out of obligation. If I didn't pray enough, give enough, or go to church enough, I felt condemned. However, after studying the Word and gaining insight from the Holy Spirit, I've learned that performance Christianity doesn't produce faith or bring me closer to God. Let's discover how the grace of God puts an end to performance and changes our motives from obligation to love.

Imagine the impact on your life if you began to make this verse your daily prayer. What if we began every morning by letting God know we desire that the words of our mouths and the thoughts in our minds be pleasing to Him?Main Points:1. Our choices, decisions, actions, and ultimately our lifestyle are determined by our thoughts and our words. This makes self-control so vital for us. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we must control our words and thoughts. 2. All of us have said, “I shouldn't have thought that and I wish I hadn't said that.” I believe with this prayer David is telling us that our thoughts and words don't have to be impetuous. You and I are not without control. The Holy Spirit resides within us to give us power for daily living.3. As we learn to pay attention to our thoughts, we ask the question, “Does this thought please God? Does it honor the Lord? As we ask this all-important question, we can immediately take action. We can entertain the thought if it does please God, but if it doesn't we can cast it out. We can reject the thought. We can refuse to think things that don't please the Lord.Today's Scripture Verses:Psalm 19:14 - “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”2 Corinthians 10:5 - “…we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” James 3:8 - “…no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.”James 1:19 - “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
