What kind of life pleases God? According to Hebrews, it's a life of faith—and Pastor Josh McPherson makes it plain: faith is obedience. In this message, Pastor Josh calls Grace City Church into a continued season of consecration through prayer and fasting, urging the church to get “off the X” and move with urgent, wholehearted obedience. From Jonathan's climb toward overwhelming odds (1 Samuel 14) to the fresh hunger God is stirring in our people, this is a rallying cry to become a Jonathan Church—a remnant that runs toward the fight, trusts God for provision, and watches heaven respond.Support the showThanks for listening!

In this episode, Swamiji redefines success through Krishna's lens, showing that true achievement is not about defeating others but about elevating oneself. He begins with the story of a little girl at her school sports day who, despite finishing last, was praised by her father for being ahead of many others. The lesson: success is relative, and each person runs a unique race. Swamiji explains that worldly measures of success — medals, rankings, comparisons — often trap us in competition and dissatisfaction. Krishna, however, teaches that the real race is internal: to conquer the mind and rise above its weaknesses. Quoting the Bhagavad Gita (6.5), Swamiji highlights: “Elevate yourself through the power of your mind, and do not degrade yourself. For the mind can be your best friend, or your worst enemy.” He emphasizes that success which pleases God is measured by self‑improvement, humility, and sincerity in effort. Every setback becomes a lesson, every step forward an offering to the Divine. When we stop comparing ourselves to others and focus on becoming better than our past selves, there is no failure — only growth. This teaching matters because it liberates seekers from the anxiety of competition and redirects them toward inner progress. By following Krishna's definition of success, we cultivate resilience, peace, and devotion — achievements that truly please God. About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.

By Jorge de Campos - What kind of worship truly pleases God? Is it merely a display of religious piety—an outward appearance of holiness, spoken phrases, raised hands, and repeated words like "hallelujah" or "praise Jesus"? Or is it a completely different way of life based on a reverent attitude towards God and fellow
What is the appropriate response to Christmas? At its heart, Christmas is the grace of God appearing in flesh to die and defeat death for us so that we might have salvation through faith. What is the application of such a divine truth that has penetrated our hearts? The appropriate response is faith. But what exactly does that look like in our everyday lives? I hope you will make plans today to join us for one of our many worship opportunities this weekend. In Christ, Pastor Chad

Are the "strong" really as strong as they think they are? When the Apostle Paul divides us into those strong in the faith, and those who are weaker, what are we to make of that? Is this a proper way to promote unity - by splitting people into categories? Or does he want us to reflect more deeply on who we are, and what is our real position relative to our spiritual relatives? It isn't the position of "critic."

There are just too many opinions these days... that's my opinion. Everyone has a point of view. In the church we even have opinions about other people's opinions - but we don't call them that. No, we have "convictions." And when other people's convictions about how to honor God conflict with our convictions, they're just wrong. Obviously. In Romans, Paul is very concerned about that attitude, because it leads to dysfunction in the Body of Christ.

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 11.1-6Jobey McGintyWe must understand that without faith, it is impossible to please God. In fact, it is arrogant to assume that our good works, moral uprightness, or obedience can earn His favor. The true work of God is simply to believe in the One He sent. Rejecting Christ, the only solution to sin, makes all other accomplishments meaningless.We look to Abel, highlighted here in Hebrews 11, whose sacrifice was acceptable not because it was valuable to God, but because it was given by faith from a heart acknowledging sin's severity. God requires us to sacrifice and let go of the idols we cling to—like money, time, or grudges—because our heart follows our treasure, and God wants our hearts!We must make it our highest aim to please God in everything. By offering all of our life—time, treasure, and talents—as a living sacrifice, we open our hands to receive His freedom and leave a legacy of faith that will outlive us.
Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. [NLT]

Do you ever wonder what makes God happy? Psalm 149 flat out tells us. It is humbling to find out what, or more specifically WHO gives Him this pleasure.Like a grandparent for his grandchildren, the Lord has an enthusiastic, disproportional, and maybe even unbalanced regard for HIS PEOPLE. He tells us we are His chosen portion, the apple of His eye, and that He takes pleasure in us. Join me for less than 7 minutes of pure good news.

As one of the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitters per capita, Australia has announced its new 2035 emissions reduction target. The federal government has committed to a target to cut emissions by 62 to 70 per cent by 2035, based on 2005 levels. Some say the target is too high, others say it's too low. Labor says it's both ambitious and achievable.
