The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,2 for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place?4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully.5 He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.Psalm 24:12 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:2THE CROSS WAS NOT EASY FOR JESUS.Endure: to suffer patientlyTHE AGONY OF THE CROSS WAS WORTH IT BECAUSE THE REWARD OUTWEIGHED IT.THE REWARD THAT OUTWEIGHED THE CROSS FOR JESUS WAS PEOPLE.When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:1-318 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”Matthew 28:18-20The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,Psalm 24:1“We don't bring God into culture—God is already there, calling it home.”Leslie Newbigin DECLARING > CONVINCINGWe are called to announce good news, not argue people into belief.5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants[c] for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.2 Corinthians 4:5-62 And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.” 4 And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women. Acts 17:2-42. STEWARDSHIP > OWNERSHIP3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.1 Corinthians 3:3-93. THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT > THE POWER OF METHODSNot by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.Zechariah 4:62 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men[c] but in the power of God.1 Corinthians 2:2-5

Is the supernatural power seen in the New Testament still available to us today? Can the human heart truly be satisfied by Jesus alone? What does it mean to be "married to Christ”?Dr. Mary Healy—a professor of Biblical Theology and a consecrated woman—joins the podcast to share her radical journey of faith. The conversation also dives deep into the charismatic spiritual gifts, such as healing, prophecy, and tongues, which Dr. Healy argues are "normal" for the Christian life rather than extraordinary rarities.NEW: Check out our Merch store! https://shop.lilaroseshow.com/Join our new Patreon community! https://patreon.com/lilaroseshow - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

In this sermon, we look at Jesus' words that reveal what genuine love for Him looks like and how true obedience becomes possible. These two themes—The Evidence of Love and The Power to Obey—show us that following Christ is not something we do in our own strength, but through the transforming presence of the Holy Spirit.Key Points: 1. The Evidence of Love 2. The Power to ObeyThis message calls us to examine our hearts, rest in God's grace, and rely on the Spirit who empowers us to walk in faithful love and obedience to Jesus.
Joel 2:28-30
Teacher: Larry Kim (Central Square Church) Text: Acts 2:1-8 NIV Guest preacher Larry Kim continues The Story series with Acts 2, when God fulfills His promise to dwell with His people forever through the Holy Spirit. With wind, fire, and the miracle of tongues, the Spirit forms the Church and empowers ordinary people with God's own power. Because Christ now lives in us, we're invited to live differently—rooted in God's promise, power, purpose, and presence.
The highest form of obedience is in the surrendering to a place of being willing. Surrender always precedes gloryJohn 10:18 / 2Cor 12:9-10 / John 15 / James 4:7 / 1Peter 5:6-7 / Heb 11:30-33

President and Sister Meredith discuss the importance of the Spirit of Ricks, its history, and what we can do as students and members of our communities to strengthen and share that spirit wherever we go.
This week we continue this period where we are looking deeper at the Holy Spirit. This week we take a look at the power of the Holy Spirit. Tune in as Pastor Emily Shughart shares the message, “The Power of the Spirit.” Scripture: Acts 2:1-21
This week we landed in Mark 14:53–72. Here we see Jesus stand firm in the face of lies and injustice. He speaks truth, endures suffering, and stays on mission to save sinners—because He knows the end: every knee will bow before Him. We, like Jesus, need to use Scripture to see clearly the truth of our circumstances. Look to the end. Scripture is truth. We are not alone in our struggle to bear witness in a world that hates us. Do not be shocked—endure by the power of the Spirit.

Today's episode of The Pastorate looks a little different. Instead of our typical format where Jason interviews a guest, we're pulling back the curtain on our Lead Pastors Fellowship and inviting you into a conversation that Pete Hughes, pastor of KXC London, had with our cohort participants during one of their monthly Zoom sessions. We're sharing it here because it speaks directly into the cultural moment we find ourselves in, and because applications for the next round of the Lead Pastors Fellowship open next month.In this conversation, Pete Hughes unpacks the “quiet revival” taking shape across the global West, especially among Gen Z, and what courageous, Spirit-led pastoring looks like in this season. He names why many are rejecting secularism both intellectually and experientially, and why this surge of spiritual openness demands bold, clear invitations to follow Jesus.Pete invites pastors to imagine what courageous and Spirit-dependent leadership looks like in a cultural moment hungry for more. This conversation wrestles with how to speak with clarity in contested spaces, how to shepherd both skeptics and seekers, and how to walk at a pace that can endure renewal. It points to a vision of ministry that pairs bold invitation with deep formation, offering hope for leaders who long to see Jesus meet people with power and presence. Stay tuned until the end of the episode as Pete concludes the conversation with a prayer for Canadian pastors.Show NotesKing's Cross ChurchPete's InstagramFall City MeetupsLead Pastors FellowshipThe Pastorate Listener SurveyFall 2025 Pastors Retreat at Barnabas LandingPartnersThe work of strengthening pastors across Canada is only possible because of generous partners like you.

Acts 2:1-4, 14-18, 21; 2:22-24, 32-33, 36-39, 42-47Point #1 “The Pentecost Event” Acts 2:1-13The Pentecost event was accompanied by 3 supernatural signs: sound (blowing of a violent wind), sight (tongues of fire which came to rest on each of them and speech (filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues or languages as the Spirit enabled them). Languages… The miracle of Pentecost is 120 ordinary, unschooled men and women declaring the wonders of God in foreign languages they had never learned. The Gospel being prophesied to the nations. The crowds were amazed: “we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues. What does this mean?” -Acts 2:11b Point #2 The Explanation of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-41)-Joel's OT Prophecy-Luke explains that the extraordinary phenomenon of these Spirit-filled believers declaring God's wonders in foreign languages is the fulfillment of Joel's prediction that God would pour out his Spirit on all flesh.In other words, this (what you saw) is that (Joel 2 prophecy 800 BC ).

On Pentecost, the Spirit is poured out with power, transforming the fearful into the bold. The Spirit is not just a gentle helper — but the fire and breath of God that equips the Church for its mission. Acts 2:1–13 ESVWhen the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

Thinking about the gospel of Jesus Christ leads Paul to pray in a particular way—in a passionate way. Usually people in those days prayed standing. Paul kneels—it's a sign of great emotion and solemnity. And what does he so passionately pray for? That his readers—and that also means us—would be strengthened with the power of the Spirit. Let's explore this: 1) Why is that so important? 2) What is it? and 3) How do we get it? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 27, 2011. Series: A Study of Ephesians: Who is the Church? Scripture: Ephesians 3:14–21.
