A Life Pleasing to God - Making Spiritual Decisions - David Zybach by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area

A Life Pleasing to God - Avoid a Heart that Devises Wicked Plans - Ryan Smith by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area

Speaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 12:18-29Episode Overview:In Hebrews 13:1–3, the author moves from the truths of who Jesus is to the commands that flow from His grace. This sermon explores how genuine faith expresses itself through love—love for our brothers and sisters in Christ, love for strangers, and love for those who are suffering or sidelined. As we reflect on the deep, initiating love of Jesus—the One who welcomed us when we were strangers and suffered for us when we were lost—we find both the motivation and power to live lives pleasing to God. True worship is not confined to songs or services, but seen in everyday acts of love rooted in the gospel.Key Highlights:• The Gospel's Grammar: God's commands (imperatives) are always grounded in His finished work (indicatives). We love because Christ first loved us.• Brotherly Love Continues: The mark of a true disciple is enduring, family-like love within the church.• Hospitality to Strangers: Biblical hospitality extends beyond comfort or reciprocity—it welcomes those outside our circle just as Christ welcomed us.• Remembering the Sidelined: God calls us to identify with and care for the suffering, the forgotten, and the persecuted, just as Jesus did.• Pleasing and Serving God: When we love others, we not only please the heart of God but serve Christ Himself.Call to Action:Ask God to open your eyes this week to someone you can love sacrificially—whether it's a brother or sister who needs encouragement, a stranger who needs welcome, or someone suffering who needs to be remembered. Let your acts of love be an offering of worship, pleasing to the Lord who first loved you.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Part 1 of “A Pleasing Fragrant Life” explores what it truly means to live a life that brings delight to God. From the Old Testament offerings to the perfect sacrifice of Jesus, we see that Christ became our burnt, peace, and sin offering. His life a sweet aroma that made us acceptable before God. Now, we're called to live in response to that sacrifice, offering our lives in devotion, purity, and thanksgiving. A fragrant life is one marked by gratitude and consecration and continually honours Jesus for all He's done.

God still delights in the fragrance of a surrendered life. In Part 2 of this message, we're reminded that worship, thanksgiving, generosity, intercession, and service all offered from a sincere heart rise to Him as a pleasing aroma. The fire on the altar must never go out; our lives are meant to continually give off the fragrance of devotion through Jesus Christ. Before prayers ascend like incense, thanksgiving and worship must go before. True power is found in a heart that burns with gratitude, purity, and genuine love for God.

Today's episode is an intimate dive into one of the most misunderstood — yet deeply rewarding — dynamics in the world of Femdom and distance domination: the submissive sissy.Spoiler: It's not just about lace, lipstick, or humiliation.It's about surrender, self-discovery, and the quiet power found in your devotion to your Mistress.Have you ever asked yourself:“Why do I feel drawn to this role?”“Is wanting to serve a woman… weak?”“How do I truly become the sissy my Mistress deserves?”…then this episode is your permission slip to lean in.What We Explore:Why not all sissies are submissive — and not all submissives are sissiesThe emotional and psychological journey of embracing feminizationHow a true Femdom Mistress guides, shapes, and transforms her sissyThe paradox of control: giving up power to gain freedomThe sacred art of being of service — beyond just sex or choresWhy communication is the most important part of a D/s relationshipNavigating boundaries, vulnerability, and trust in a D/s dynamicThe myth of “more is better” — and why following her lead beats initiative every timeAnd the big one: How submission changes you… and how the submissive also changes Mistress.Remember, it's not about escaping who you are — it's about uncovering who you were meant to be under the gaze of a woman who sees you, owns you, and refines you.A skilled Femdom Mistress doesn't just dominate — she mentors.She holds space for your fears, your shame, and your curiosity.Above all, she rewrites your future whether you are:New to sissy trainingStuck in a cycle of self-sabotage or secret shameOr already serving but craving deeper connection and purpose…this episode will remind you:You're not broken. You're becoming.Get in touch:Mistress Olivia: email:  Olivia@EnchantrixEmpire.comDiscord: LDWOliviaTwitter X: @MistressOlivia1blog: ExperiencedMistress.comMistress Erika:email:  Erika@EnchantrixEmpire.comDiscord: LDWErikaTwitter X: @ErikaEnchantrixblog: Intelligent Phone Fantasy

A Life Pleasing to God - Avoid Hands that Shed Innocent Blood - Josh Pinion by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area

A Life Pleasing to God - Helping those in Need - Brandon Dukes by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area

Heb 11:4; John 4:23; Gen 4:3-5; Prov 15:8-9; 1 John 3:12; Heb 13:15-16; 1 Pet 2:5; Heb 11:5-6; Col 1:10; Gen 5:21-24; 1 Th 4:16-17; Psa 73:23-24

In this episode, we're having a real conversation about something so many agents and entrepreneurs fall into without even realizing it — client pleasing. You know, saying “yes” to every request, dropping everything to make them happy, and putting your own schedule, boundaries, and peace on the back burner. But here's the truth: you teach clients how to treat you. When you operate like a 24/7 on-call service, clients stop seeing your time as valuable. When you lead with confidence and boundaries, they rise to meet your standard. We'll talk about: The hidden cost of being “too available” How to shift from people pleaser to powerful CEO energy Simple boundary-setting phrases you can use without feeling guilty Real-life examples that build respect and authority with your clients This episode is your reminder that being professional doesn't mean being a pushover. It means creating a business that supports your life — not the other way around.

Without faith it is impossible to please Him.

A Life Pleasing to God - When Children Obey Parents - Kenneth Shields by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area

When we worship God, let us do so authentically as we are moved by the Spirit. Our human nature may try to pull us away from the truth of who God is, but let us not diminish God's greatness. Instead let's recognise that He is closer than we think.

A Life Pleasing to God - Why Pride Displeases God - Jace Henderson by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area

Send us a textBiblical Manhood and Womanhood1 Peter 3:1-7Chris McKnight, Lead Pastor/ElderOctober 5, 2025Message 20 in the series

At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor Rev. Craig Bailey returned again to Hebrews 11 encouraging us that with faith it's possible to please God by what we believe and what we do.

We have the privilege of hearing Ps. Joe Martin from Trinity Dallas share a powerful message on God-Pleasing Faith. Ps Joe unpacks what it truly means to be saved, walk, and live by faith, drawing from Hebrews 11:1 — faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”Through vivid illustrations, from invisible chairs to the “currency of heaven,” Ps. Joe explores how faith shapes our lives, how it is tested, and how God rewards those who trust Him. Using Abraham's obedience as an example, we see that God-pleasing faith is active, radical, and transformative.

Sometimes I find myself lowering the standard just to keep the peace. Pleasing people might feel easier in the moment, but following Jesus means choosing His standard instead.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 5:9 Some goals are so worthy they demand giving our entire life in pursuit. Pleasing the Lord is one such goal. What a simple yet worthy Goal. I will please the Lord. Forget about everyone else and what they think. No matter what the situation, what life throws at me, or what I go through, my one goal is to please God. Let's join Paul in making our one ambition, our life goal, to please the Lord in all things.

Gwyneth Paltrow has had a big week, and coincidentally, so has Holly. As the new spokesperson for Astronomer, Gwynnie's made waves with a new ad, as well as a surprising body part of hers that's got some recent recognition. Plus, a women-only only app by the name of Tea is causing quite the stir in the dating world. But is it a necessary tool for women or opening an uncomfortable conversation about privacy and anonymity? And, Australia was arguing this weekend about what is actually the hottest Australian song of all time. Mia, Jessie and Holly come prepared with their top 5—as well as some constructive criticism for the list (and each other).

Today, I’m talking to Meggan Watterson—theologian and author of The Girl Who Baptized Herself—about the importance of being embodied, the search for self, where we derive power, and the way that culture is edited and passed down to us. Watterson tells the incredible stories behind the Gospel of Mary (and what happened to Mary Magdalene), and the Acts of Paul and Thecla (and what happened to Thecla). We also explore where my work meets hers, and the birth of the seven powers, which become the seven cardinal vices, or the seven deadly sins. For the show notes, head over to my Substack.
