What does the Bible really say about money, possessions, generosity, and stewardship? In the final message of In His Image, Pastor Josh Hersey explores what it means to follow Jesus with everything God has entrusted to us. Through 1 Timothy 6, Psalm 24, Cain and Abel, the rich young ruler, and Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6, we see that God is not asking us to reject the things we have. He is inviting us to make sure our possessions never have us. The shift from ownership to stewardship changes the way we view our money, resources, generosity, security, and ultimately our relationship with God. Where our treasure goes, our heart follows. So what are we looking to money and possessions to provide that only Jesus can truly give? Comfort, recognition, experiences, influence, independence, security, pleasure, and control can all feel like life, but they cannot give us the life that is truly life. This message challenges us to live with open hands, trust God instead of our circumstances, and remember that everything we have is from Him, through Him, and for Him.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

Most of us would rather talk about almost anything than money. Jesus didn't share that hesitation. He talked about it constantly. Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen begins a look at four enemies of the heart (money, pleasure, power, and honor), starting with money.Working from Matthew 6 and 1 Timothy 6, he draws a crucial distinction. Money itself is a neutral tool that can do great good or great harm. The real enemy is the love of money: trusting our own resources for our well-being. Whether you have plenty or very little, that pull is real. So why is it so dangerous, and what does it take to fight for a heart that money doesn't master?Part of Northwest Hills' ongoing series on fighting the good fight.Scripture ReferencesMatthew 6:19–21Matthew 6:241 Timothy 6:9–12Key Moments(00:00) Welcome(00:30) Message: Money and the Fight for Your Heart(01:48) Two Words Nobody Wants to Hear from a Pastor(04:33) Four Enemies of the Heart and Our History with Money(08:18) Jesus Talked About Money All the Time(10:05) Reading Matthew 6 and 1 Timothy 6(12:35) Money Is a Tool; the Love of Money Is the Enemy(19:03) Three Reasons the Love of Money Is Dangerous(32:02) If You Want to Move Your Heart, Move Your MoneyMentioned in This MessageMoney, Possessions, and Eternity by Randy AlcornThank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on September 27, 2026, at 8:00am.

Religion & Rock - 09/27/26 - Possessions

In this episode of The Art Bystander Podcast, Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar is joined by Erwin Wurm on the occasion of Mind Bubbles & More at Carling Dalenson in Stockholm, running from 22 September to 31 October 2026. One could easily say Erwin Wurm is one of the world's most recognized and respected artists today.Born in Bruck an der Mur, Austria, in 1954, Wurm has spent more than four decades expanding what sculpture can be, finding material in clothing, furniture, cars, houses and the human body. He originally wanted to become a painter, but found himself placed in a sculpture department. His response was to keep testing the discipline until he could make it his own, eventually returning to painting through works he calls Flat Sculptures.That resistance to a fixed definition runs through his practice. In the 1992 video 59 Positions, a man and his sweater move through a sequence of poses, making sculpture out of the changing relationship between a body and its clothes. His later One Minute Sculptures invite participants to follow instructions involving everyday objects, adopting positions that can be awkward, funny or difficult to maintain. A sculpture exists briefly through someone's willingness to take part, with balance, embarrassment and the presence of an audience becoming part of the work.Wurm's distorted objects extend these questions into the things we buy and inhabit. In his Fat Car series, luxury vehicles acquire swollen bodies, exaggerating the excess already associated with them. Fat House turns domestic security into something ungainly and overgrown, while Narrow House compresses his childhood home into proportions that make moving through it uncomfortable. Possessions become a way of examining the expectations attached to success, respectability and belonging.These works can also be understood against the background of Wurm's childhood in postwar Austria, where the recent Nazi past often remained unspoken and conformity shaped everyday life. The absurd gives him a way of approaching the habits people accept without much examination. Following an instruction, dressing correctly or choosing a particular car becomes material for thinking about how we learn to fit in.There is a useful connection here with Pierre Bourdieu's account of taste and social distinction: the objects around us communicate class and aspiration, whether or not we intend them to. Wurm makes those objects physically strange enough for their social meanings to become harder to overlook. His humour can leave us wondering why we laughed, and how much of our own behaviour we recognise.Mind Bubbles & More brings together three-dimensional sculptures and recent Flat Sculptures. The Mind Bubbles borrow the familiar thought-bubble form from comic books while withholding the words or images we expect to find inside. The viewer supplies an imagined thought, continuing Wurm's interest in participation through an encounter that takes place in the mind.Across sculpture, performance, photography, video and painting, Wurm returns to questions of volume, identity and perception. Wurm's work is held in major public collections including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Centre Pompidou, and Walker Art Center. He has received Austria's Grand State Prize for Fine Arts (2013), the GNMH Award (2021), and an honorary doctorate from the University of Belgrade (2022). He is represented by Thaddaeus Ropac, Lehmann Maupin, and König Galerie.An introduction to an artist whose work makes the everyday a subject of sustained scrutiny, from the clothes on our bodies to the instructions we follow and the homes we build around ourselves. And be ready for some laughter! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fr. Mike reinforces Jesus' divinity as we read about how Jesus heals people physically, mentally, and spiritually and frees them from the enemy's kingdom of darkness. Fr. Mike also encourages us to not be afraid when we experience persecution and division for the sake of Christ, but to rather courageously carry the Cross.

Legacy is not built in grand, dramatic moments. It is built in the daily choices that accumulate over a lifetime: choosing honesty when hiding the truth would be easier, offering kindness when impatience is closer to the surface, forgiving rather than holding a grudge, and staying humble and teachable when pride feels more comfortable. Proverbs 10:7 draws a stark contrast between two kinds of legacy: a good and honest life leaves a blessed memorial, while a life of sin without God leaves something far less pleasant behind. The money we leave behind will be spent. Possessions will be lost. Worldly achievements will eventually be forgotten. But the people whose lives we touched will carry the memory of who we were and how we treated them. That memory — the fruit of a life spent walking closely with Jesus — is the most significant thing we can leave behind. It will inspire the people who come after us to trust God themselves. In a world that pulls our attention down to the level of a to-do list, this episode invites us to lift our eyes to the bigger picture: every day and every choice is building something. The question is whether we are being intentional about what we are building. And for those who look back on a legacy that does not yet reflect the one they want to leave, the good news is that God's grace covers the past and His mercy offers a fresh start. It is never too late to begin building differently. Today's Bible Verse "A good and honest life is a blessed memorial; a wicked life leaves a rotten stench."— Proverbs 10:7, MSG Ponder Today Legacy is built day by day through faithful, ordinary choices. It does not happen by accident and does not require dramatic moments. Honesty, kindness, forgiveness, and humility practiced consistently over a lifetime build something that outlasts us. The way you treat people today becomes the memory they carry tomorrow. People will spend your money, lose your possessions, and forget your achievements. But they will always remember how you made them feel and whether your life reflected the goodness of God. A life spent walking closely with Jesus leaves a sweet fragrance. The fruit of the Spirit at work in a surrendered life — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control — is the kind of legacy that inspires others to trust God themselves. Do not let your daily life shrink down to the level of your to-do list. Every responsibility, every interaction, and every choice is building something larger than the moment. Keep the bigger picture in view and make choices accordingly. It is never too late to start building a better legacy. God's grace covers the past and His mercy offers a genuine fresh start. Whatever the legacy built so far, today is the first day of building what comes next. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, thank You for the gift of life and for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the world around me. I want my life to honor You in every way. Forgive me for the times I have been selfish, impatient, or dishonest. Give me the wisdom and strength to live a good and honest life each and every day. Help me make choices that build a holy legacy — one that shows others the reality of Your love flowing through my life. Show me how to treat people in ways that leave a sweet and lasting blessing long after I have passed away. When I am tempted to say or do anything that would be a mistake, speak to me through Your Holy Spirit and lead me to make a better choice. May the way I live honor You and inspire everyone who knows me to grow closer to You. In Jesus' name, Amen. Want More?

Rafe might have allergies. Or a cold. Or he might simply be preparing for pharmaceutical Armageddon.Either way, he arrives with enough medication spread across the desk to make the studio look like a Walgreens with microphones.That's how this episode begins, and somehow things get significantly less sanitary from there.Rafe is determined not to get sick, so he's armed with cold remedies, allergy treatments, mystery medicine from Devon and, naturally, cheese-filled salami wraps. Rizz recommends the traditional cure of chicken soup — AKA “Jewish penicillin” — while everyone tries to determine whether there's actually something magical happening in the broth.This daily podcast then becomes a support group for adults who wake up injured despite accomplishing absolutely nothing.Rizz's hand mysteriously hurts. Lern wakes up with a completely numb hand after falling asleep on the chaise lounge. Rafe routinely loses feeling in entire arms while sleeping. That launches everybody into an extremely detailed comparison of sleeping positions, dead limbs, stomach sleeping, coffin sleeping, restless legs and the bizarre little rituals our bodies apparently demand before allowing us eight hours of unconsciousness.Moon sleeps like a vampire.Lern has an elaborate pelvic-hand configuration.Rafe rubs his feet together like a human cricket.Everybody is doing great.Lern also shares her surprise Mary Kay makeover from a listener, which sends the room down memory lane with pink Cadillacs, parents getting involved with Mary Kay, Tupperware parties and the strange world of home-sales businesses.Naturally, Rafe has a related story.Early in his comedy career, he and another comedian performed at an event and discovered part of their compensation involved a swag bag filled with adult products.Money disappears.Possessions come and go.But apparently a bag of novelty merchandise is forever.From there, Rizz gets into the supposed magic of 10,000 steps a day and explains that the famous number traces back to pedometer marketing rather than some sacred scientific commandment. The crew discusses walking pace, Moon's extremely active 83-year-old mother and the general importance of staying mobile as you get older.Then we meet Hyrox.Imagine running five miles while repeatedly stopping to punish yourself with sled pushes, sled pulls, burpee broad jumps, rowing, kettlebell carries, sandbag lunges and wall balls.Sounds fun!It gets better.The show discusses a 22-year-old competitor who won a Hyrox event despite suffering an absolutely catastrophic bathroom emergency during the race.She kept going.And won.Normally, that would be an inspirational sports story about perseverance.Unfortunately, Hyrox involves shared workout equipment.Now we have a biohazard.The crew debates whether finishing the race was admirable, horrifying or both, especially after learning the incident reportedly happened early enough that the competitor still had multiple shared stations ahead of her.The event ultimately changed its rules for future incidents, but her victory remained intact.A win is a win.Apparently.You might think one poop story is enough for a daily podcast.That would indicate you have never listened to The Rizzuto Show.Welcome to Poopy Tuesday.The next story involves an alleged affair, neighboring units in a Miami-area mobile home park and a woman accused of preparing an entire bucket of human waste specifically to throw in her neighbor's face.That sentence somehow gets worse when the crew learns she reportedly told someone beforehand what she was planning.Nothing says “healthy conflict resolution” quite like collecting ammunition yourself.Crime news continues with authorities reportedly searching for an older Chevy Tahoe bearing the words “Fat Chicks Only” after a burglary. Witnesses allegedly describe two large bearded men, meaning police received perhaps the most specific and simultaneously useless suspect description imaginable.Then Vegas enters the chat.A man meets two women at a nightclub, drinks with them, hits the hot tub and brings them back to his hotel room. He later wakes up to discover cash missing along with tens of thousands of dollars in allegedly unauthorized transactions.The crew immediately begins investigating the most important unanswered question:Did the poor guy at least have a good night first?We may never know.Things eventually move to air travel, where Rizz recalls sitting near a passenger who suffered a seizure before takeoff and was ultimately removed from the flight because of the medical risk.Then comes another flight story involving a passenger who reportedly got completely naked and began engaging in inappropriate behavior in front of neighboring passengers.The pilots apparently decide they're still going to Miami.Honestly, at that point, everybody deserves the vacation.Moon also unloads on airline entertainment systems that constantly interrupt movies with announcements, lengthy videos and pilots who sound approximately 40 years older over the intercom than they looked while boarding.Then Rizz destroys airplane dining forever.According to a flight attendant story discussed on the show, some passengers have changed babies on tray tables.Yes.Those tray tables.The same tray tables where you put your pretzels.Moon says he wipes down his tray, screen and armrests whenever he flies.Suddenly that no longer sounds obsessive.It sounds like basic survival.And because apparently the gastrointestinal theme had not been explored thoroughly enough, the crew circles back to diarrhea for a discussion about a reported cyclospora outbreak tied to shredded iceberg lettuce being declared over.Lettuce is back, baby.The long national nightmare has ended.Finally, the crew gets into one of St. Louis' favorite shared hobbies: complaining about Lambert.Airport pickup congestion, Uber confusion, departures versus arrivals, construction, terminal access and the increasingly chaotic experience of simply trying to collect another human being from the airport all get their turn.For years, one of St. Louis' greatest airport flexes was convenience.Now?Welcome to Thunderdome. Please locate your Uber somewhere in this general zip code.So yes, this episode has allergies, mysterious body pain, bizarre sleeping positions, Mary Kay, unconventional comedy compensation, fitness trends, competitive bathroom disasters, weaponized feces, Vegas mistakes, naked airline passengers, contaminated tray tables, lettuce recalls and St. Louis airport rage.Exactly what you expect from a daily podcast that begins by recommending chicken soup and somehow ends up making you afraid of gyms, airplanes, mobile homes, lettuce and your own digestive system.Feel better, everybody.And maybe disinfect that tray table.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton break down Texas' explosive 59-7 season-opening victory over Texas State. The Longhorns scored on nine of their 10 possessions and produced six explosive plays, beginning with Hollywood Smothers' 45-yard run on the first snap. Arch Manning distributed the ball throughout a loaded offense as Ryan Wingo, Cam Coleman, Emmett Mosley and the tight ends all made an impact.The guys also examine Will Muschamp's opportunistic defense, game-changing plays from Rasheem Biles and Maraad Watson, and Kobe Black emerging as the starting safety beside Jelani McDonald. Plus, they discuss Trevor Goosby's surprisingly heavy workload, improved pass protection and how much Texas intentionally kept hidden before its massive showdown with Ohio State.

n this next installment of our 2026 Financial Planning Challenge, host Robert Brokamp is joined by fellow Fool Stephanie Marini to discuss the most unpleasant area of financial planning: estate planning. But it's necessary, because while it's nearly impossible to predict the future when it comes to most aspects of personal finance, there's one thing we can guarantee: You and everyone you know will one day pass away – leaving assets and stuff behind to be divvied up. Topics covered:-While it's important to seek the counsel of an attorney in your state, you can do a lot of estate planning on your own by updating beneficiary, payable on death, and transfer on death designations on your accounts and insurance policies-What should be included in your will-When to consider a trust-Creating your “financial vault” – the document that will let your loved ones know what to do and where to find everything when you're no longer able to manage your finances (temporarily or eternally) Host: Robert Brokamp, CFP®, EAGuest: Stephanie Marini, CFP®, CRPC®Engineer: Bart Shannon Disclosure: Advertisements are sponsored content and provided for informational purposes only.

Raymond Grace Returns: Breaking the "Biblical Curse," Healing Past with Mind Blowing Results, Dowsing & Clearing Entities Host Kara Goodwin welcomes Raymon Grace back to Soul Elevation (tune into his first amazing episode, # 545) to discuss his decades of powerful work with dowsing and energy techniques. Raymon describes what he calls a biblical curse on women and shares results that indicate he broke the curse, with many women in his classes reporting feeling more empowered since that time.  He shares a mind blowing account of going back in time to stop abuse, in a case where a woman's chronic pain and scars from childhood burns disappeared after his intervention, and a group exercise where women reported no longer remembering abuse.  They also discuss water memory and a shared detox reaction he and another man experienced after clearing negative memory from their bodies' water. Kara shares how powerful she and her friends have found Raymon's protocols for influencing weather, and their real world results from using them. Raymon shares his definition of possession as negative entities affecting behavior, along with simple exorcism and emotional-clearing methods for schools and other places.

Something that was meant to be there.For Heather Lynn, those questions aren't theoretical.

Every week, members of The Gospel Project for Kids team offer guidance to help you as you prepare to teach each session to preschoolers and kids. This week, we discuss Unit 24, Session 5—Jesus Taught about Possessions.

In today's lesson from Romans, Paul tells us that "in one body we have many members, and not all the member have the same function..." . Pastor Jonathan explains that Paul understood the meaning on living in community, and contributing our talents and time to help restore the world in grace and peace.

Uflourish Church Elder, Chad Ellefson, wraps up this year's Following Jesus series with a message on the cost of following Jesus. Just as Jesus invited the crowds around him to lay down all they had to follow him, our call is the same today. Working through the subjects of familial approval, money and possessions, time and talents, comfort and security, Chad helps us examine what things may be driving us, or even at times controlling us. Ultimately, we return to the call to surrender those things, laying it all down for the sake of Christ and his work in and through us. Though it may be a tall order, we're encouraged that we do so with the help of the Holy Spirit, by whom Jesus will pick us up whenever we may stumble or fall.

In this episode, Josh and Catie bicker in front of her parents. Debby is shocked by Mido's surprise decision. Mallorie goes wedding dress shopping. Ashia comes clean to her sisters.

Jesus meets a young man who is eager to gain eternal life, but he walks away sad because he is hampered by his many possessions. (Lectionary #419) August 17, 2026 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Welcome to The Daily. Go ahead and pick up your 1 Peter Scripture Journal now. Our text today is 1 Peter 1:3-5: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. — 1 Peter 1:3-5 What do you do when the things you depend on start slipping away? A job disappears. A relationship changes. Your health declines. The plans you have fall apart. Many of the believers Peter was writing to understood that feeling. Because of their faith in Christ, they were increasingly becoming outsiders in their communities. Following Jesus was costing them something. So Peter reminds them of something that cannot be lost. A living hope. Notice that Peter does not say we have hope because life will get easier. He says we have hope because Jesus is alive. The resurrection changed everything. Peter knew this better than anyone. For years, Peter followed Jesus, believing He was the promised Messiah. But like many Jews in his day, Peter expected a conquering king who would establish an earthly kingdom. He anticipated victory, power, and restoration for Israel. Then Jesus was arrested. Crucified. Buried. In a matter of hours, Peter's expectations collapsed. The future he imagined seemed gone forever. But three days later, everything changed. Jesus walked out of the tomb alive. The resurrection transformed Peter's despair into confidence and his fear into courage, and he ran to him on the beach of Galilee. The hope Peter writes about here is not optimism or positive thinking. It is confidence rooted in a living Savior. That is why Peter calls it a living hope. Because Christ is alive, our hope is alive. He also says believers have an inheritance. That language would have reminded Jewish readers of the Promised Land—an inheritance God gave His people. Yet every earthly inheritance could be lost. Israel lost land. Kingdoms rose and fell. Possessions deteriorated. Not this inheritance. Peter describes it using three powerful words. It is imperishable—it cannot be destroyed. It is undefiled—it cannot be corrupted by sin. It is unfading—it will never diminish or lose its glory. Everything in this world eventually wears out. But your inheritance in Christ never will. And as if that were not enough, Peter says it is being kept in heaven for you. You are being guarded for it. God is not only protecting your inheritance. He is protecting you until the day you receive it. Imagine how encouraging that would have been for believers who felt vulnerable, rejected, and uncertain about the future. You may lose opportunities, comfort, and others' approval. But if you belong to Christ, you cannot lose what matters most. Your hope is alive. Your inheritance is secure. That is the kind of truth that helps believers stand firm in a hostile world. DO THIS: Make a list of three things in your life that could be lost tomorrow. Then write beside them: "My hope is not here." ASK THIS: What earthly thing am I most tempted to place my hope in? How does Christ's resurrection change the way I view my future? What would it look like to live today as though my inheritance is already secure? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for giving me a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When I am tempted to place my confidence in temporary things, remind me of the inheritance You have secured for me. Help me trust that You are guarding both my future and my faith. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Christ Our Hope in Life and Death"

Jesus Is the Only Door to Your Eternal Life, But Jesus Has Given You the Key – His Gospel MESSAGE SUMMARY: From the Gospel of Luke “Life's Possessions and Wealth” A Yale Pediatric Oncologist's (A Window to Heaven: When Children See Life and Death) experienced a life transformation from being an Atheist to an Agnostic and then becoming a Christian because of her involvement with the death and near-death experiences of young children with cancer. These children had no predisposed reason to understand God or Heaven; however, their verbalized near-death experiences are compelling. In Luke 13:22-30, Jesus gives us a glimpse of Heaven because He does not want us to miss out on Paradise. Are you going to be saved? Before presenting His Parable of the Narrow Door, Jesus sets up this Parable in Luke 13:24: “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.". in John 10:7-9, Jesus tells us that He is the door: “So Jesus again said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.". Also, Jesus paints the picture, in Luke 13:24, of a feast in Paradise: “And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God.”. In this Parable in Luke 13:25, Jesus expresses how difficult it will be to get into Heaven: “When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,' then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.'". After the door is inaccessible, Jesus tells us in Luke 13:27: “But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!'". Knowing God personally and His Grace, through Jesus on the cross and Jesus' Resurrection, is what enables us to have eternal life – Jesus the Christ is the door, as Jesus tells us in John 14:6 that He is the only way to eternal life: “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'". Eternal life is offered to us through God's grace, but we can only receive eternal life through our personal faith and our knowing God through a personal relationship with Him.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FORGIVEN. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Luke 13:22-30; Luke 23:43; Revelation 2:7; John 3:16; John 10:7-9; John 17:3; Matthew 7:21-23; John 14:6; Psalms 22b:17-31.

University of Washington assistant coach and longtime NBA coach Charles Klask joins Slappin' Glass for a detailed conversation on building structure underneath a free-flowing offense, defining offensive priorities, using analytics to shape behavior, and teaching switching defense.Klask breaks down how to identify your best decision-makers, build an offensive hierarchy around player strengths, and create what he calls “rich possessions” by involving your “rulers” while attacking the opponent's “rusty defenders.” He also discusses retriggering offense after the initial action, short-roll spacing and passing solutions, shot-selection priorities, offensive rebounding, tagging up, and balancing freedom with clearly defined rules.In Start, Sub, or Sit, Klask dives into coaching development and the importance of asking better questions, organizing and grading film, and taking effective notes. The conversation then shifts to switching defense, including physicality at the point of the screen, KYP decisions, defending slips, shrink responsibilities, and using switching as a disruptive weapon rather than simply an emergency solution.What You'll LearnHow to build structure underneath a random, conceptual offenseIdentifying “rulers,” attacking “rusty defenders,” and creating rich possessionsUsing player strengths to determine offensive roles and decision-making freedomOffensive analytics, shot hierarchy, offensive rebounding, and tagging-up principlesWhy asking better questions can improve both player learning and coaching developmentTeaching switching defense through physicality, KYP, screen navigation, and disruptionTo join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 70 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

We look at the command to sell all you have in Luke 12:33

We look at the command to sell all you have in Luke 12:33

What do we possess in Christ, and how should those blessings shape the way we live? In Our Possessions in Christ, we turn to 2 Corinthians 5:6–15, where Paul writes about walking by faith, living with courage, seeking to please the Lord, and remembering that we will each stand before Christ. Above all, the love of Christ changes the purpose of our lives: because He died for us, we no longer live simply for ourselves, but for Him. Listen in.

57. The Abundance of Possessions (Luke 12:13-21) 8.2.26 by Church in the Square (Sermon Audio)

Pastor Blake Burrough unpacks Matthew 6:19-24, where Jesus gives one of His most direct and challenging commands: do not store up treasures on earth. This sermon invites us to examine our hearts in light of Christ. Jesus reveals that what we do with our money reflects what we truly treasure, calling us to find our greatest joy and security in Him rather than in earthly possessions. As we consider the lens through which we see the world, we are challenged to see money not as our master, but as a tool for advancing God's kingdom. This message is an invitation to fix our eyes on Jesus and discover the lasting treasure found in Him alone.

What is obstructing your ability to recognize God? Touré Roberts takes us into Isaiah's encounter with God — a moment that only became possible when earthly structures shook. Isaiah's breakthrough reveals the real issue: There was a gap between what he understood about God and what he was actually saying. His vision didn't match his words. This disconnect is exactly what revival addresses. Revival takes place when the church recognizes what it gradually forgot: The gospel of the kingdom is bigger than our preferences, our security, and our comfort. The solution? Full integration. When your eyes, heart, lips, and actions all align with God's kingdom, everything shifts. You recognize the fullness of His grace and power. That alignment can change the atmosphere around you. But before integration happens, something has to move. What are you leaning on? Success? Comfort? Relationships? Possessions? These false dependencies obstruct your view of God. They keep you from recognizing Him. But when your hunger for God is greater than your hunger for anything else, revival flows through you. Message: “You Better Recognize” Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8 and 2 Peter 1:2-3 (NKJV) Speaker: Touré Roberts Date: July 19, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.

Proverbs 4:23

Send us Fan MailOn today's PoM podcast we continue our walk through the book of James and asking the question, "Do I use my possessions ever for the benefit of others." It is not wrong to have stuff, even a lot of stuff. But when we develop a hoarding mindset where what we have builds our kingdom but doesn't advance God's, then we have a problem. Learn more about The Pursuit of Manliness: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/ Join The Herd:  https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/join-the-herdRegister for our 2026 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2026-mens-retreatSupport the show

Welcome to The Daily. Read more about our mission to teach every verse of the bible in what we call Project23. Grab your Hosea Scripture Journal. Our text today is Hosea 9:5-6: What will you do on the day of the appointed festival, and on the day of the feast of the Lord? For behold, they are going away from destruction; but Egypt shall gather them; Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver; thorns shall be in their tents. — Hosea 9:5-6 What if everything about your worship looks right, but God isn't in it? Hosea asks a probing question: "What will you do on the day of the appointed festival?" In other words, what happens when your worship gatherings continue, but God no longer accepts them? Israel had it all. Feasts. Rhythms. Sacred days. They showed up, went through the motions, and kept the system running. But God was gone from it. He had been gone a long time. Their worship had become routine without relationship. God makes it clear: when judgment comes, none of it will help. Their religious gatherings won't save them. Their religious celebrations won't protect them. Their religious habits won't carry them through what's coming. That's the warning. Everyone knows you can stand in a room full of worship and still be far from God. You can sing loudly, listen weekly, serve consistently, and never actually surrender. You can look alive spiritually and be empty at the core. And eventually, this empty form of worship crumples. That's why Hosea paints a stark ending. Homes overtaken. Possessions lost. Futures cut off. Everything they leaned on disappears, and their worship offers no refuge. Is your worship real? Not passionate. Not polished. Not consistent. But real, authentic, genuine. It flows from a life that actually walks with God. Worship was never meant to be something you attend. It's something you live. And here's the grace. He's still inviting you back. You don't have to keep faking it. You don't have to keep going through motions that lead nowhere. You can come back with honesty, humility, and a heart that actually wants Him. DO THIS: Before your next moment of worship, pause and ask God to make your heart sincere, not just your actions. ASK THIS: Is my worship connected to how I actually live? Have I been going through the motions? What would it look like to come back to real worship? PRAY THIS: God, don't let my worship become empty. Bring my heart back to you and make my devotion real again. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Heart of Worship"

The 10 Commandments E13 — We've arrived at the 10th and final commandment, which feels very different from all the ones that came before it: “Do not desire … anything that belongs to your neighbor.” While most translations use the word “covet,” we simply find khamad, which is the general Hebrew word for desire. All the other commandments involve observable actions, but desire is entirely internal. So why does God warn us about desiring things that belong to our neighbor? In this episode, Jon and Tim finish the 10 Commandments by showing how this command works as an undercurrent beneath all the others.

We went all in on the spooky this week with listener encounters that seriously tested our bravery, diving into stories of possession, demons and exorcisms. These experiences had everything that keeps us up at night, like eerie 3:33 a.m. wakeups, haunted mirrors, sleepwalking trances, years long demonic attachments, physical injuries from paranormal attacks and so much more. Plus, rare moments where protective forces intervene. A listener wakes at 3:33 a.m. to a blood-curdling scream, is pulled into a trance and faces a chained, monstrous entity in an antique mirror. One listener performed multiple exorcisms as a teen, and battled demonic forces that caused objects to levitate and people to speak in unknown languages. Strange astral experiences lead one person to unknowingly cross into a dangerous space, after which both she and her sister experience physical and emotional attacks. Another listener details a lifelong attachment from a high-ranking demon that appeared in dreams, sent smaller entities to torment her, and threatened to claim her soul. A terrifying pattern of sleepwalking and astral projection leads one storyteller to open the wrong “door,” inviting something dark that begins targeting both her and her sister.
