Being fully devoted to Jesus means more than a personal faith. It means making the King of Heaven known to the world around you. God reveals Himself through creation, through praise, through trials, and through the messy parts of our stories. When He brings you through something hard, tell someone. When He forgives and restores you, do not seal your lips. You already have a platform in your job, your neighborhood, your relationships, and the question is simply whether you are willing to use it.

In today's episode, I'm stepping down from the soapbox and taking a more grounded approach to what it looks like to speak life, faith, and prosperity over your business. In whichever season of life that you're in, weather building, growing, navigating a challenging season, or simply trying to find clarity in what comes next, you need to hear this. I'm sharing a collection of business declarations inspired by the closing prayers in a close friend's book. These declarations encouraged me, and I hope they encourage you too. We'll speak over a variety of topics that hit close to home for me and left me wanting to share that same encouragement. Important Links: Needing help to grow your business?

Jesus seeks us intentionally to set us free from captivity and eventually send us to proclaim His message of liberty.

Zwai explores Paul's teaching on Christ's preeminence in Colossians 1:24‑2:5, confronting false philosophies that dilute the gospel. He highlights the apostle's call to proclaim Christ alone, to guard the church against syncretism, and to pursue true spiritual maturity rooted in the revealed mystery of Christ. The message invites listeners to examine whether they are seeking upgrades in faith or resting in the sufficiency of Christ's work.~~~Church is better together, plan a visit to our church in Sandton, Johannesburg: https://ruc.org.za/visitServices at 8am, 10am and 5pm.We would love to meet you in person, come to the ConneXus to get information on the life of the church, events coming up, and how you can take the next steps in your faith journey.

Chris Shelton, Lead Pastor, introduces the series "Him We Proclaim" and the 3 primary qualities of the Christian life:1) FAITH in Christ2) LOVE for people3) HOPE for heaven

Many measure worth by what people have, not who they are. Yet Jesus stood before the crowd and called the poor blessed, promising them the kingdom of God. May our hearts see the poor as He does, that we'd help them find hope in Christ as we proclaim the gospel, and honor them as we live it out among them.

God is at work in the hearts of the people around us. His Spirit is everywhere and perfectly working long before we show up. In fact, our job is simply to ask, "Holy Spirit, what are you doing?" We get to ask, listen, and participate in what He is already doing in the lives of others. That is why I decided to sit down with Eric Chow, Director of Ministry and Outreach for the Archdiocese of Vancouver. He is a seasoned missionary with extremely practical advice for parish hospitality and personal mission. And today, he encourages us to recognize the “proximate periphery”, the mission field hidden in our daily routines, workplaces, and families.

In this episode, Bruce reflects on Luke 22:54–62 and Peter's denial of Jesus.Peter failed Jesus in the very way Jesus said he would. He denied Him three times and went out weeping bitterly. Yet after the resurrection, Jesus met Peter again, restored him, and entrusted him with a mission.Bruce reminds us that failure is real, but it does not have to be final. Jesus does not speak condemnation over Peter. He restores him and calls him forward.This devotional invites you to bring your failure to Jesus, receive His mercy, and begin again.

Message: What To Do When All Seems Lost Songs:  • Father I Adore You • Just As I Am (bridge) • Proclaim the Glory Host: Dennis Campbell – President/CEO – MissionGO The post Rev. George Francisco: What To Do When All Seems Lost appeared first on MGO Radio/Canada's National Bible Hour.

Are we living the gospel? Are we living as a living sacrifice? We are called to live and proclaim the gospel. Are we answering this call?

The gospel is the good news to the poor and the Church is called to make that good news visible.

What is the main thing Christians are to be getting on with while we wait for Jesus' return, and do we have everything we need to do it? We have a kingdom to proclaim (vv1-3) We have a Spirit to cleanse (vv4-5) We have a Spirit to empower (vv6-8) We have a return to await (vv9-11)

By Ken Loucks - Why did God command that the Jubilee trumpet be sounded on the Day of Atonement? The ancient Jubilee released servants, restored families and returned inherited land, but it also pointed toward a far greater restoration. Jesus Christ's healings gave a preview of what His government will bring to the

In this episode, Bruce reflects on John 21:15–22 and Jesus' words to Peter: “What is that to you? Follow me.”After restoring Peter, Jesus gives him a personal call. But Peter turns and asks about someone else's journey. Bruce reminds us that comparison can quietly steal our peace, gratitude, and joy.God does not ask us to live someone else's life. He asks us to be faithful to the life He has entrusted to us.This devotional invites you to place other people's stories into God's hands and return your attention to the invitation that matters: follow me.

In this episode, Bruce reflects on Matthew 5:43–48 and Jesus' call to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.Praying for someone who hurt us can be difficult. Bruce reminds us that this does not excuse what happened, remove boundaries, or pretend justice does not matter. It simply means we are no longer allowing bitterness to decide what happens within our hearts.This devotional invites you to begin with a simple prayer: “Lord, I place them into Your hands.”Over time, God can soften what has become hardened, heal what has been wounded, and bring freedom where bitterness once had power.

When someone hurts you -  Wednesday 16th  SeptemberIn this episode, Bruce reflects on Colossians 3:12–15 and Paul's call to forgive one another as the Lord has forgiven us.Forgiveness can be difficult when the hurt is real. Bruce reminds us that forgiveness does not excuse what happened, erase the pain, immediately restore trust, or remove the need for wise boundaries.Forgiveness is choosing not to let the wound continue to own our heart.This devotional invites you to bring your hurt honestly before God, remember the mercy you have received, and begin again by saying, “Lord, I do not want this hurt to have the final word in me.”

Pastor Lynn will continue our series with "Do You...Proclaim the Lord's Name?" Hebrews 12 tells us the saints and the angels proclaim our Lord's name in the heavens and we are to daily join in this proclamation. However, the temptation we face is to focus in on our problems, battles and challenges and, as a result, focus in on the activity of the enemy. This causes us to declare and magnify his name in our lives. Pastor Lynn will challenge us to proclaim the name of our Lord know matter what we face. We will be challenged to exalt the Lord's name in the earth and by doing so render the enemy silent and powerless in our lives and circumstances. You do not want to miss this message!

In this episode, Bruce reflects on John 8:2–11 and the woman caught in adultery.The crowd sees the woman through the lens of her failure, but Jesus sees more. He does not pretend sin does not matter, but He also refuses to condemn her.Bruce reminds us that we rarely know another person's whole story. We can judge quickly, assume motives, and condemn others by a standard we would not want applied to ourselves.This devotional invites us to ask God for a softer heart, a more merciful heart, and the grace to see others more like Jesus sees them.

Good things happen when listening to this audio. It is a given. Proclaim it.

Proclaim What's Been Given. 2 Timothy 3:14-4:4. September 13, 2026. Josh Coe

In this episode, Bruce reflects on Mark 10:46–52 and the healing of Bartimaeus.Bartimaeus was blind and calling out for mercy, while the crowd tried to silence him. But Jesus stopped, noticed him, and gave him the dignity of speaking for himself.Bruce reminds us that one of the dangers of a busy life is that people can begin to feel like interruptions. We may pass people every day without really seeing them.This devotional invites us to become more like Jesus by noticing the person in front of us, listening well, and responding with compassion and dignity.Today, who is God asking you to see?

By Andy Duran - Trumpets historically signal major proclamations, and the Day of Trumpets foreshadows three powerful future events: the establishment of God's kingdom, the resurrection of the Saints, and the ultimate gathering to meet Christ at His return.

In this episode, Rosemary Downes leads us in a time of prayer for those moments when we do not know the way forward.Reflecting on Hebrews 4:15–16, Rosemary reminds us that Jesus understands our weakness and invites us to approach the throne of grace with boldness.This prayer invites us to be honest with God, surrender our problems, surrender the answer, and trust that He will give mercy, grace, strength, and guidance in our time of need.When you do not know the way, keep turning to Him.

The Pharisees try to tempt Jesus one more time by sending a lawyer from among them to ask about the greatest commandment in the Law. Jesus responds by refusing to separate the two tables of the Law from each other. The love of God and the love of neighbor go hand-in-hand. Even more than that, the Law, together with the prophets, paints a picture of the Christ who has come to fulfill all things in place of sinners. Because the Christ is both David's son and David's Lord, the Christ is the only Savior.  Rev. Harrison Goodman, Executive Director of Mission and Theology for Higher Things, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 22:34-46.  To learn more about Higher Things, visit higherthings.org. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

In this episode, Bruce reflects on Ephesians 4:25–32 and St Paul's teaching that our words should build others up and give grace to those who hear.Bruce reminds us that words matter. A careless sentence can wound deeply, while a word of encouragement, humility, apology, or kindness can change the atmosphere of a relationship.This devotional is not simply about being positive. It is about living as a Christian. We speak grace because we have received grace. We forgive because we have been forgiven. We build others up because God has continually lifted us up.Today, who do you need to speak well to?

In this episode, Bruce reflects on James 1:5 and the invitation to ask God for wisdom.Life often presents us with decisions where the right answer is not immediately clear. We may have the facts, seek advice, and still not know what to do. Bruce reminds us that wisdom is not simply knowing things. Wisdom helps us know what to do with what we know.God gives wisdom generously and ungrudgingly. He is not disappointed when we need guidance.This devotional invites you to bring your decisions honestly before God, remain open to His direction, seek wise counsel, and trust that He will guide you one step at a time.

In this episode, Bruce reflects on Philippians 1:3–6 and Paul's confidence that God will complete the good work He has begun.Bruce reminds us that spiritual growth can often feel slow. We may still struggle with old habits, impatience, discouragement, or patterns we thought would have changed by now. But God is not finished with us.The work began with God, and it will be brought to completion by God.This devotional invites you to trust that grace is still at work, even when you cannot clearly see it, and to return to God again with confidence.

Caleb Drahosh Paul suffers and struggles to bring the gospel message to the Colossians and many others. He knows that there are threats out there, but the message of the gospel has immense value and he is willing to risk his life to get it to the churches. It is Christ that Paul proclaims, nothing else. Through the proclamation of Christ, the Christian is warned and taught; he or she is moved toward maturity. But Paul recognizes that while he's the willing vessel, it's all the work of Christ through Him.

Good friends are like guardrails on a mountain road. They don't drive the car for us, but they keep us from going somewhere dangerous. In 2 Samuel 12, Nathan was that kind of friend to David. He saw danger in David's life and had the courage to confront him. Nathan didn't ignore the problem or tell David what he wanted to hear. He delivered the truth, even when it was difficult. Yet Nathan's goal wasn't to destroy David - it was to lead him toward confession, healing, and restoration. Real friends do more than celebrate us when things are going well. They love us enough to warn us when we're heading the wrong direction. A true friend doesn't just protect your feelings; they help protect your soul.

In this episode, Bruce reflects on Matthew 6:25–34 and Jesus' teaching not to worry about tomorrow.Bruce reminds us that planning is wise, but worry tries to live tomorrow before tomorrow has arrived. God has not yet given us tomorrow's grace. He gives us grace for today.Jesus points to the birds and the flowers to remind us that our Heavenly Father knows what we need. He knows the things we are worried about, the decisions before us, and the situations we cannot control.This devotional invites you to trust God for today, seek first His kingdom, and walk by faith one step at a time.

When even the demons acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God, His authority over darkness becomes undeniable.In a display of divine authority, Jesus heals countless people gathered at Simon's house, casting out demons who recognize Him as the Son of God. Though the demons attempt to reveal Jesus' true identity, He silences them, showing His power over both illness and the forces of evil.Today's Bible verse is Philippians 2:10, from the King James Version.Download the ⁠Pray.com⁠ app for more Christian content including, Daily Prayers, Inspirational Testimonies, and Bedtime Bible Stories.Pray.com is the digital destination for faith.

In this episode, Rosemary Downes leads us in a time of prayer based on Haggai 1 and the words, “consider your ways.”Rosemary reflects on how easily we can become busy, burdened, and spiritually dry, even while trying to live faithfully. We may ask God for help, yet still take our worries back and try to solve everything ourselves.This devotional invites us to be honest with God, surrender our burdens, and allow Him to guide our thoughts, choices, plans, and actions.Maybe the answer is not to try harder, but to lean more deeply into God.

In this episode, Bruce reflects on Philippians 4:4–9 and Paul's words: “Do not worry about anything.”Bruce reminds us that prayer does not mean pretending our concerns are not real. It means bringing our worries to God rather than carrying them alone.Paul does not promise that every problem will immediately disappear. He promises that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.This devotional invites you to give your worries back to God, receive His peace before the answer comes, and allow your mind to be renewed by what is true, good, and life-giving.Podcast DescriptionTime of prayer - Saturday 6th September

In this episode, Bruce reflects on Romans 8:26–28 and the promise that the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.Sometimes we know exactly what to pray. Other times, life is so complicated or painful that we cannot find the words. Paul reminds us that this is not failure. The Spirit intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words.Bruce encourages us to pray honestly, even when all we can say is, “Lord, You know.”This devotional invites you to trust that the Holy Spirit is praying within you, that God sees the whole picture, and that nothing is beyond the reach of His grace.

Wednesday of the Twenty-Second Week in Ordinary Time

In this episode, Bruce reflects on Matthew 7:7–11 and Jesus' words: “Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened.”Bruce reminds us that prayer is not about persuading a reluctant God. It is bringing our lives honestly before a loving Father who already knows what we need.Sometimes God answers with what we asked for. Sometimes He asks us to wait. Sometimes He gives us grace instead of removal. And sometimes He leads us somewhere we never expected.This devotional invites you to ask boldly, trust deeply, and leave room for God to be God.

In this episode, Bruce reflects on 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 and Paul's prayer for the thorn in his flesh to be removed.Paul wanted the thorn gone, but God answered: “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”Bruce reminds us that sometimes God changes our circumstances, and sometimes He gives us grace within them. His answer may not always be removal, but it is never absence.This devotional invites you to keep praying, keep asking, and also to pray: “Lord, if this does not change today, give me the grace I need to live faithfully here and now.”

Caleb Drahosh Paul bookends this passage with rejoicing. First, he rejoices in his suffering. Through suffering he participates with Christ in the building up of the church. And secondly, Paul rejoices in the good order and firm faith the Colossians have in Christ. Here Paul sees Himself as a military general, pleased with how well this outpost of the gospel is doing. But the enemy is on the horizon.

In this episode, Rosemary Downes leads us in a time of prayer based on Isaiah 43 and God's promise of restoration and protection.Rosemary reflects on the words, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” She shares a personal experience of feeling overwhelmed and needing to call on God for help, and reminds us that God is present when we are between a rock and a hard place.This devotional invites us to trust that God knows us by name, protects us, sends help, and calls us to be witnesses of His goodness.He is our Saviour, Redeemer, Restorer, and Protector.

God's Word carries divine authority, and because of that, we are called to faithfully proclaim it. In a world that may reject truth or turn away from sound teaching, Scripture reminds us that the Word of God remains necessary, powerful, and unchanging.This Sunday, Pastor Jeff challenged us to be faithful servants who boldly proclaim God's Word, even when it is difficult or unpopular. Following Christ means standing firmly on the truth of Scripture and enduring faithfully as we point others to Him.The Word of God has been entrusted to us. May we faithfully proclaim it, live it, and stand firm in it.

Why do you have hope? In a world constantly shaken by fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, Peter calls believers—elect exiles—to live with a radically distinct hope that cannot be explained by mere human optimism.In Part 6 of our series Not Home Yet, Pastor Tom walks through 1 Peter 3:13–22, one of the most intriguing passages in the New Testament. We discover that true Christian hope doesn't begin with clever arguments or theological debates, but in a heart that honors Christ as Lord. Through His suffering, death, and triumphant resurrection, Jesus didn't just show us the way home—He conquered every power, took the keys of death and Hades, and secured our victory forever.
