Podcasts about prostitutes

Hello, Welcome to our Reveal Campus,Today, we're diving into a striking image from the book of Revelation, Babylon, The Great Prostitute. In Revelation 17–18, John is given a vision of a woman dressed in purple and scarlet, glittering with gold and jewels, yet described as a prostitute riding on a beast. She represents a worldly system full of wealth, power, and immorality that lures nations away from God.Babylon isn't just a city of the past. It's a symbol of spiritual corruption, pride, and rebellion against God. The world may see her as glamorous, but Scripture reveals her true nature: she intoxicates nations with sin and opposes Christ.Her end is certain Revelation declares that God will bring swift judgment. Babylon will fall, and with her, all who trusted in riches, idols, and worldly power rather than the Lamb.For us, the message is clear: don't be seduced by Babylon. Don't put your hope in temporary pleasures or systems of this world. Instead, remain faithful to Christ, the Bridegroom, who calls His people to purity and perseverance.In the end, Babylon falls, but the Kingdom of God stands forever.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

Scripture:  1 Kings 3:1, 1 Kings 3:4ff, 1 Kings 3:16ff, 1 Kings 6, 1 Kings 8, 2 Chronicles 5-7, 2 Chronicles 3:1, Genesis 22, 1 Kings 9, 2 Chronicles 7:14, 1 Kings 9:4-5 This study helps us dig deeper into Solomon: Wise Leader     ⁃    Pharaoh's Daughter - 1 Kings 3:1 - Solomon secures a peace treaty with Egypt and a strategic marriage to one of the Pharaoh's daughter's.     ⁃    Sacrifices at Gibeon - 1 Kings 3:4ff - shortly after taking the throne we see Him following his father David's advice. We see Solomon going to Gibeon to offer sacrifices to God and commits his life to God. The Lord appears to Solomon in a dream saying “ask for whatever you want.”  Solomon replies in humility, and asks to be given a discerning heart to distinguish between right and wrong so that he can govern the nation justly and well. He sought God's wisdom and guidance so that he could bless and nurture the children of Israel. The Lord was pleased with Solomon's reply and gave him what he asked for, plus God told him He would give him even more than what he had asked for: wealth and honor.      ⁃    2 Prostitutes - 1 Kings 3:16ff - Two prostitutes come to Solomon. Both have birthed boys but one had rolled over on her son and the child died. But they each claimed the living son as their own. Solomon says, “bring me a sword and cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.” But at that point the real mother says, “oh please don't do that.” And the other woman says, “yes, do it.” Solomon then gives the living child to the one who had asked for the child to be spared because she was the real mother. King Solomon was admired greatly by his people for his wisdom from God in administering justice.  He is recognized as very wise. Solomon: Builder     ⁃    Temple Construction - 1 Kings 6 - in the 4th year of his reign Solomon begins building the Temple of the Lord. ca. 966 BC. It will take 7 years to build this incredible temple. Temple was only for priests, but people would gather in the courtyards around the temple. The temple has 3 sections: The Porch, The Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies. The interior was covered in gold. The Ark of the Covenant was placed in the Holy of Holies where the High Priest went once per year on the Day of Atonement - Yom Kippur. A place of shed blood pointing to the One who is the Lamb of God/The Mercy Seat/The Messiah/Jesus our Savior. In 2 Chronicles 3:1 we read that the Temple was build on Mount Moriah. The place of the story where Abraham had taken his only son Isaac. Pastor shares prophetic likeness to Jesus in this story of Genesis 22. (This will also be the location of the Second Temple).     ⁃    Temple Dedication - 1 Kings 8 & 2 Chronicles 5-7. When the Ark of the Covenant was brought into the Holy of Holies, the glory of the Lord filled the temple!  Solomon shares a sermonette and a powerful prayer. Solomon's heart is to win people to the Living God - that they walk in faith and obedience to God. And when he finished praying a fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnet offering and the sacrifices and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. The people began shouting praises and thanks to God. And a multiple sacrifices were given to God.     ⁃    God appears to Solomon a second time - 1 Kings 9 & 2 Chronicles 7:14 - God speaks to Solomon and tells him that He wants to bring blessing saying, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”  This too is our prayer  -  it is a prayer for us still today - a prayer for our nations, that we would seek God, turn from our wickedness, because He will hear from heaven and heal our land. God closes His time with Solomon with these words: (1 Kings 9:4-5) “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart and uprightness….and do all I command …. I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David…”.  God calls Solomon to Himself and God calls each one of us to Himself! Now What?

Come As You Are Series: Rahab The ProstituteHebrews 11:31 “By faith the prostitute Rahab did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.”This series is to remind us that God wants us to come as we are. He doesn't expect us to wait until we have cleaned ourselves up or changed our habits before we go to Him. He wants us to come to Him as we are, and then He can help bring us to where He wants us to be. I love the quote, “God meets us where we are and He loves us too much to let us stay there.” We don't need to change before we go to God; we need God to help us change.Today, we are talking about Rehab the prostitute. You might wonder why we are talking about a prostitute. If you don't know Rahab's story, let me summarize it for you. God told the Israelites that He would give them Jericho as their promised land. Joshua sent two spies to check out that land. The Bible says, “So they went and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and rested there.” (Joshua 2:1) Why would these holy men go to rest at the prostitute's house? Could it be because she was an outcast, and so there wouldn't be a bunch of people at her house? Is it because she is used to hiding men in her house? We don't know exactly, as it doesn't say why they went there, just that they did go there.I heard Steven Furtick of Elevation church talking about this, and he said something that I thought was really good. He said sometimes God will use what you think is a weakness as part of His plan. Joshua's men chose to stay with Rehab, maybe for the very reason she would have thought God couldn't use her. I know if I were a prostitute, I would have counted myself out by being used by God. I would have thought that my sins were too great for God to have used me in any way. However, God used Rehab to hide these two men who went to check out the land for Joshua.These men stayed with Rahab, and then the king found out there were spies in his land, and he told Rahab to turn them over. Luckily, she had already hidden them, again, something her job would have taught her to do, and so she said that they had stopped by, but they left before the gates closed for the night. Rehab knew that God had sent these two guys and that He had planned to give Jericho to His people. She helped them so that they would spare her life when they came in to take the land. These men agreed to spare her and her family as long as they were inside her house with her. They gave her a scarlet cord to put in her window so they could tell all the troops to stay out of her home.Rahab used her talents to hide these men and, therefore, gained safety for her whole family. I bet her parents never saw that coming. I bet they never expected the skills she had learned because of her profession would wind up saving their lives someday. God's ways are a mystery to us. We don't understand His plan, and yet, with His plan, He shows us time and again that He is not choosing the perfect people to carry it out. He does not choose who we would have chosen.We talked about Tamar and how she dressed like a harlot to seduce her father-in-law to sleep with her so that she could have a baby. We discussed how, out of all the lineages of Jesus listed in the Gospels, Tamar, even after tricking and sleeping with her father-in-law, is only one of five women mentioned in the lineage of Jesus. Now we have Rehab, who is a prostitute, and she is another one of the five women listed in the lineage of Jesus. It says in Matthew 1:5, “Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, and Obed fathered Jesse.”In Jewish culture, when listing someone's lineage, it is customary to include the father's name. However, in the case of Jesus, it is mostly just the father's listed. However, there are five of the mothers listed. Just five in all those years. Matthew 1:17 says, “ So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the [o]Messiah, fourteen generations.” There are 42 generations from Abraham to the Messiah listed in the Gospel of Matthew, and of those 42 generations, He only mentions 5 of the mothers. Those five women must have been pretty special for God to use them to help bring forth the Messiah.Did they feel special? Did they feel abandoned? With Tamar, we know she lost her husband and was promised that his brother would be given to her when he was of age, but he wasn't. Her father-in-law betrayed her, and so she took what she felt was hers. I doubt she felt special taking it, though. I suspect she didn't feel holy enough for the Lord to use her in an incredible way like He did. With Rehab, we don't know her story. We don't understand why she became a prostitute. We don't know any back story that would provide us insight into her career choice. However, I am willing to believe she didn't feel special. I am sure she was an outcast because of her profession. The women in town probably hated her, as some of their husbands probably went to see her.Why did God choose these women to help bring about His plan to save us with Jesus? Why are these women listed in the lineage when others are not? I believe it is because God wants to show us that you don't have to be perfect to be used by God. You don't have to be doing all the right things. You don't have to get it right all the time. Life is hard, and God knows that. He understands if we get lost and follow the wrong path in life. He is not condemning us or holding it against us. He is just patiently waiting for us to come back to Him.We mustn't count ourselves out. God can use us, no matter what we have done in the past. God will love us, no matter what we have done in the past or what we are doing now. He still loves us more than anything. Rehab was a prostitute, and yet her name made it into the lineage of Jesus. She is also mentioned two other times in the New Testament. One of those is the verse above. “By faith the prostitute Rahab did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.” Rahab was not one of the chosen people of the time. She didn't see God part the Red Sea so she could walk through. She didn't see the manna sent from God every day to feed his people.She didn't see any of these miracles, but she did hear about them. She heard about them, and she believed them so much that she was willing to risk her life to hide the men of God so that they might spare her and her family's lives when they came back to conquer the land. Her faith in a God she didn't know was so great that she was willing to risk it all. There are many lessons we can learn from Rahab. One is that we don't need to be afraid to take risks when God is involved. Second is that God can use anyone for His plan. Third is that God may want to use that very thing that you feel is your greatest weakness, that very thing that fills you with so much shame. God can turn that shame into something you can be proud of if you let Him. Don't shut God out because you don't feel worthy. Ask Him to come into the messiness and allow Him to love you right where you are!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode. Lord, we love you, and we ask you to help us know that you love us, too. Help us to believe that just as you did for Rahab, you can redeem us too. You can use us even though we are not perfect and we have made a lot of mistakes. Please help us to believe that we are exactly the type of person you could us to help bring your kingdom to earth. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Ezekiel chapter 23 presents one of Scripture's most graphic metaphors as God depicts the spiritual infidelity of His people through the story of two sisters. These women, representing Samaria and Jerusalem, start as beautiful young women but tragically descend into prostitution, illustrating Israel's persistent pursuit of foreign gods and pagan practices.The striking imagery serves a powerful purpose. God reveals that from their earliest days in Egypt, His people had been spiritually unfaithful, bringing idolatrous practices with them even after their miraculous deliverance. The northern kingdom lusted after Assyria's military might and cultural sophistication, adopting their religious practices rather than remaining faithful to Yahweh. The southern kingdom committed even worse spiritual adultery by pursuing Babylonian and Egyptian influences despite having witnessed their sister's destruction.What makes this passage particularly relevant for today's believers is the parallel to modern spiritual compromise. Just as ancient Israel was seduced by powerful foreign nations, churches today often chase worldly entertainment, impressive personalities, and cultural relevance rather than remaining devoted to simple, biblical worship. We explore how congregations might prioritize charismatic speakers over spiritual maturity or entertaining programs over solid biblical teaching.The most sobering aspect of this metaphor is God's response—He ultimately uses the very nations Israel lusted after as instruments of judgment. This pattern reveals an important spiritual principle: the sins we pursue often become the instruments of our destruction. As one pastor notes, "Sin will take you farther than you ever wanted to go and keep you longer than you ever intended to stay."Yet even amidst this harsh judgment, we discover God's extraordinary patience. For nearly a thousand years, He sent prophets, provided deliverers, and offered opportunities for repentance before finally allowing judgment to fall. This reveals both His long-suffering nature and the reality that divine patience isn't endless when repentance is refused.Join us as we unpack this challenging passage and consider its implications for spiritual faithfulness in our churches and personal lives today. How might we recognize and resist the "foreign influences" that compromise our devotion to God?Support the showThank you for listening!!

Why should we not pick our wives or husbands the way Jesus did? Do people start being the children of God? What is the difference between getting mercy and getting what you deserve?

A Sermon for the Ninth Sunday after Trinity St. Luke 15:11-32 by William Klock All the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to listen to Jesus, writes St. Luke at the beginning of Chapter 15.  But the Pharisees and the scribes—the legal experts—were grumbling.  “This fellow welcomes sinners!” they said.  “He even eats with them!”  (Luke 15:1-2) You can just picture these angry Pharisees, their faces red, veins popping in their foreheads, grumbling with each other.  They'd heard troubling things about Jesus, but then he'd come to town and they listened while he preached in the synagogue and they were pleasantly surprised.  They nodded along with him.  And they watched as he healed sick people and cast out demons.  People were saying Jesus was the Messiah.  Maybe he really was.  Maybe the bad things people were saying about him weren't true after all.  But then the party last night.  Matthew, the guy who collected taxes for the Romans, the traitor to his people, they'd heard rumours that he'd taken up with Jesus and last night he threw a big party and invited all his scummy, sinner friends.  A bunch of JINOs—you know, Jews-in-name-only.  Not a single one of them kept the law: tax collectors, prostitutes, greedy businessmen who supplied the Roman army.  Rumour had it they were eating bacon-wrapped prawns!  And Jesus was there.  They raged.  How could a guy seem so holy, preach such great things, know the scriptures so well, and even work miracles that only God could do, and then go and party with sinners?  I mean, yeah, there were also rumours that Jesus was telling his kingdom stories at the party and someone even said that some of those sinners had decided to repent and sin no more.  But that just made these Pharisees angrier.  If Jesus were really the Messiah, if he'd really come to usher in God's kingdom, he should be calling down fire and brimstone on those tax collectors and their sinner friends.  No, they grumbled to each other, this won't do.  This won't do at all. So Jesus answered their angry grumbles with three stories.  The first story is about a shepherd who loses one of his hundred sheep.  He secures the ninety-nine in the fold and sets off into the night to find the lost one.  When he finds that lost sheep, he carries it home on his shoulders, and rejoices with the other shepherds.  What was precious had been lost, but was now found.  In the second story Jesus tells of a poor old woman who loses one of ten silver coins.  They were probably her dowry.  She can't find the coin anywhere.  She turns her whole house upside-down in her frantic search for the precious coin.  Eventually she sweeps the house and finds it.  In her great joy she runs to tell her friends so that they can rejoice with her. And Jesus likens the joy of the shepherd who found the lost sheep and the joy of the woman who found the lost coin to the joy in heaven when a lost sinner repents.  Jesus' knew exactly how to poke the Pharisees.  It's that last bit about the rejoicing in heaven that really drove the point home.  The Pharisees—like everyone else in Israel—knew that the world is not as it should be.  They knew the story of how the Lord had created the world and then created Adam and Eve to live in his presence and to steward his temple.  Heaven and earth were supposed to overlap.  God and humans were supposed to live together.  But sin had ruined everything.  Sin drove a wedge between heaven and earth and God and man and now everything is broken.  But then God had called and created this special people—Israel—to be his people and to live in his presence.  When they were lost in Egypt, like the shepherd in the story, he sought them out and rescued them.  And in the middle of their community stood the temple.  And in the most holy place in the temple was the ark.  It represented God's covenant with them.  And it was his footstool.  And on it rested his presence in a cloud of glory.  Or that's how it was before the exile.  But the temple was the one place on earth where heaven and earth still overlapped, the one place where sinful people—purified from their sins—could enter God's presence.  That's why the Pharisees lived like they did.  They weren't priests, but they lived as if they were—aways ritually pure, always ready to be in God's presence.  They were the original on-earth-as-in-heaven people.  They loved what God loved.  They rejoiced when heaven rejoiced.  Or so they thought.  Because that's what Jesus is getting at here when he talks about heaven rejoicing over a single sinner who repents.  In Jesus, the God of Israel was searching out and finding his lost sheep, his lost coins and all of heaven was rejoicing.  So this is a very pointed rebuke.  They're angry because they think Jesus is doing it wrong and Jesus flips it all around: No, actually, they're the ones who have got it all wrong.  They think they have the heart of God, but they don't. And now Jesus has their attention.  Their faces are angry and red.  They're about to blow their tops.  So Jesus seizes the moment to really drive his point home with a third story. Once there was a man who had two sons.  The younger son said to the father, “Father, give me my share of the property.”  So he divided up his livelihood between them.  Not many days later the younger son turned his share into cash, and set off for a far-off country, where he spent his share in having a riotous good time.   Jesus describes this younger son as a truly despicable character.  A father could give his sons their inheritance early, but only a truly despicable son would demand it.  And when a father did give his sons their inheritance early, it was expected that they would continue to give their father the proceeds of the land.  Dutiful fathers take care of their sons and then dutiful sons take care of their fathers.  But there's nothing dutiful about this kid.  He not only demands his inheritance early, but then he sells the land, takes the cash, and goes to a far-off country.  He cares nothing for his family, for his brother, or for his father.  And then, on top of that, he abandons his people.  He's leaving Israel—the place where God's people live in his presence—to go to a pagan gentile land where they've never heard of the torah or the sabbath.  He'll never set foot in the temple again.  And here's Jesus' point.  This kid is the epitome of a “sinner”.  Everyone trips up from time to time, everyone sins, but when the Pharisees talked about “sinners” they were talking about people who chose sin over faithfulness—people who made a choice abandon God's law, God's covenant, and God's people.  They lived lives that were incompatible with being a faithful Jew.  But it gets worse.  Jesus goes on: When he had spent it all—everyone saw that coming!—a severe famine came on that country and he found himself destitute.  So he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into the fields to feed his pigs.  He longed to satisfy his hunger with the pods the pigs were eating, and no one would give him anything.   The boy abandoned God and now, to all appearances, God has abandoned him.  He squandered his inheritance on prostitutes and loose living and now he finds himself feeding pigs.  For a Jew to have anything to do with pigs—the epitome of uncleanness—that was bad enough, but to actually be hungry enough to eat their food—well—Jesus has conjured up an image of complete moral and physical degradation.  This is rock bottom.  Some of the Pharisees were thinking, “Serves him right!  That's justice.”  I wonder, though, if others weren't starting to clue into where Jesus was going with this.  Remember that these were people who had concluded they were still living in exile.  Their ancestors had worshipped idols and forsaken God's law.  Israel was God's son, but they were a son who had taken advantage of his father's patience and mercy and goodness.  And so they had found themselves in exile, in Babylon, in a pagan land, with nothing and far from God.  I suspect that at least some of the scribes and Pharisees were beginning to hear their own story being told by Jesus. So finally, Jesus says, the son smartened up: He came to his senses.  “Just think,” he said to himself, “There are all my father's hands with plenty to eat and here I am, starving to death.  I'll get up and go to my father and I'll say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.  I don't deserve to be called your son and longer.  Make me like one of your hired hands.'”  And he got up and went to his father. I trust that, again, at least some of the scribes and Pharisees saw themselves in this, because this is what their ancestors had done.  Sitting by the waters of Babylon, first they wept for all they'd lost, and then they wept in repentance for all their unfaithfulness.  And this is what the Pharisees were still doing: trying to be faithful to the law, urging everyone else to be faithful to the law, in the hopes that the Father would take them back.  This is why they were so angry at the tax collectors and sinners.  They were calling everyone to national repentance in the hopes that the Lord would return to them and set the world to rights, but the tax collectors and sinners refused to get with the programme—they were holding everything back. But, too, Jesus' last two stories about the lost sheep and the lost coin were still echoing in their ears.  The tax collectors and sinners were the lost sheep of Israel and Jesus had been sent by the Lord to find them.  I see one of the Pharisees putting his hands to his heas in frustration and thinking, “It's like Jesus is saying we're all lost sheep, we're all lost coins, we're all lost sons of the Father!”  They weren't ready to accept that. And then the father in the story.  Jesus says: While still a long way off, his father saw him and his heart was stirred with love and pity.  He ran to him, hugged him tight, and kissed him. Everything in the image goes against the image of the ancient near eastern patriarch.  The father should be dignified, stern, disciplined, ready to carry out justice, but instead Jesus gives us a picture of this father—so incredibly undignified—running to meet his son, his robes blowing behind him, his sandals slap-slap-slapping as he ran.  And instead of running to his son to give him a kick in the pants and beating for being such a lout, he loves him.  The son tries to begin the spiel he's been rehearsing the whole of his long journey: “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.  I don't deserve to be called your son any longer.”  But his father cuts him off and calls for his servants: “Hurry!  Bring the best clothes and put them on him!  Put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet!  And bring the calf that we've fattened and kill it.  Let's eat and have a party!  This son of mine was dead and is alive again!  He was lost and now he's found!”  And they began to celebrate.   Jesus has this brilliant way of telling stories.  First, it's so obviously about the tax collectors and sinners but then somehow he manages to carry on with the story so that it becomes about both the tax collectors and sinners and the whole people of Israel longing for the return of their heavenly Father.  And then he reminds everyone that their Father is full of love and mercy and grace, ready to pour out his blessings and to throw a party for anyone who repents.  It's hard to imagine that at least some of the scribes and Pharisees didn't get it.  “Oh man.  He's talking about all of us,” they were thinking.  But still, some were obstinate.  They didn't get it.  “What a stupid father,” they were thinking.  “He should beat his lout of a son, disown him, and tell him he never wants to see him again.” And that's why there's a place for everyone in Jesus' story.  He says, The older son was out in the fields.  When he came home and got near to the house, he heard music and dancing.  He called one of the servants and asked what was going on.  “Your brother's come home!” he said.  “And your father has thrown a great party.  He's killed the fattened calf.  Because he's got him back safe and well!”  Well, the older son flew into a range and refused to go in.   Sound familiar?  I expect that as he said this, Jesus was looking straight at those Pharisees who were still boiling with rage. Then his father came out and pleaded with him.  “Look here,” he said to his father, “I've been slaving for you all these years.  I've never disobeyed a single commandment of yours.  And you never even gave me a young goat so I could have a party with my friends.  But when this son of yours comes home, once he's finished gobbling up your livelihood with whores, you kill the fattened calf for him.”   Jesus has a way with words and here he puts the words of the Pharisees into the mouth of this angry older brother who won't let go of his grudge.  They've been slaving away for the Lord all these years.  They've never disobeyed a single one of his commandments.  And when the Messiah comes—assuming Jesus really is the Messiah—he goes and throws a party with the tax collectors and sinners instead of with them!  And so Jesus says to them in the words of the father to the older son: “My son, you're always with me.  Everything I have belongs to you.  But we had to celebrate and be happy.  This brother of yours was dead and is alive again.  He was lost and now he's found.” Jesus gets at their hypocrisy.  Notice how the older brother refuses to own his brother.  He yells at his father about “this son of yours”, but the father reminds him here at the end, “this brother of yours was dead and is alive again…this brother of yours.  This is the funny thing with the Pharisees—and they weren't the only ones in Israel who thought this way: on the one hand they were angry with the tax collectors and sinners.  They knew that these people belonged to God.  They knew they were lost.  Their sins were, they thought holding back the rest of Israel from experiencing the Lord's return and an end to their long exile.  But on the other hand, they disowned the tax collectors and sinners.  They longed and prayed for God's judgement to fall on them, right along with the gentiles.  They refused to acknowledge them as lost brothers.  And now they're mad because Jesus has come to bring them back to the sheepfold.  They should be rejoicing.  Your brother who was dead is alive again!  You're brother! I'm sure that resonated with the Pharisees.  Think of Ezekiel and his vision of the valley of dry bones.  Those dry bones represented Israel.  She had forsaken the covenant and the Lord had disciplined her by sending her into exile.  But the Lord promised that one day his word would come and restore his wayward and faithless people to life.  What was dead would be made alive again.  And not just in some figurative sense.  One of the central doctrines of the Pharisees was the dearly held belief that one day the Lord would literally raise the dead of Israel to life in his presence.  One day he would set everything to rights, beginning with his people.  One day he would take what was dead and make it live again. And by way of the parable, Jesus is now saying to the Pharisees that he's the one who's come to do it.  But he hasn't just come to reward them with the life of the age to come, he's come to offer that life even to the prodigals of Israel.  Prostitute and Pharisees, both are part of the people of God, both are the Lord's children, both belong equally to him.  The Lord had rescued the ancestors of the prostitute from Egypt just as he'd rescued the ancestors of the Pharisees.  He desires life for the prostitute just as much as he does for the Pharisee.  That's what they need to wrap their heads around, because no amount of law keeping will get them into the kingdom if they don't share God's heart. You see, judgement was coming for Israel, but not quite like the Pharisees thought.  They thought that in the end, the Lord would recognise his people by their faithfulness to the law—to circumcision and sabbath and diet.  That meant the tax collectors and sinners were out.  But the fact was—and this is the point of Jesus' parables—that when judgement came on Jerusalem and on Judah, what would mark out the people of God was not faithfulness to the law, but faithfulness to Jesus the Messiah.  Jesus had taken on Israel's identity, he had picked up her failed mission, he died the death that she deserved, and when he rose from the grave and sent God's Spirit, he formed a new family, a new covenant people not centred this time on law, but on himself.  As St. John wrote, “To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12-13).  And, Brothers and Sisters, at the heart of Jesus' ministry was mercy—and God the Father rejoiced in heaven to see that mercy at work amongst his people, as his lost sons and daughters were found, as what had been dead became alive again. Brothers and Sisters, do want to share God's heart?  Then hear Jesus' story. It's about the loving and merciful faithfulness of God revealed in Jesus as he fulfils his promises to his people.  It was that faithfulness, revealed in Jesus and proclaimed by those first Jewish believers, that brought the first gentiles into the Church.  And that, itself, was a fulfilment of the Lord's promises.  This new people of God, this new Israel centred on faith in Jesus, brought the nations to the Lord, to the God of Israel, in awe, in reverence, and in faith.  Because membership in this new family was based not on law but on faith in Jesus made it possible for the nations—for you and I—to become children of God and fellow heirs with the natural brothers and sisters of Jesus.  And this opens that category of “the lost” to encompass an entire world.  In the parable Jesus was talking about the lost of Israel, but through Jesus the sort of restoration that the Lord sought with the lost of Israel has been opened to all of humanity.  You and I ought to see the lost of our own world, people created to bear the image of God, but lost to him because of their sin, you and I ought to see those people and desire for them the same mercy and restoration that God has shown to us through Jesus.  We ought not only to rejoice when we see that mercy at work, the joy of our own experience of God's mercy ought to be sending us out to the lost.  But all too often we become blasé about what God has done for us.  We lose the joy we once found in our salvation.  Or, for those of us who have never known life apart from God's covenantal mercy—like so many in Israel—we take his mercy for granted.  Brothers and Sisters, take time to think on what the Lord has done for us in Jesus and rejoice.  Make a point of it.  As you read scripture.  When you come to the Lord's Table.  Make a point of it.  Rejoice and stand in awe at the mercy of God. And, I think, if we do that, we will avoid the stance of the Pharisees who had forgotten the nature of God's mercy, who chafed at Jesus offering the mercy of God to sinners while they worked so hard to be faithful.  We're prone to the same sort of thing.  We forget the mercy of God.  We forget his forgiveness.  We forget that as much as God is pleased with us when we are faithful and pleased with our good works, we too are only part of this family because of his mercy and his forgiveness.  And then we start looking at the lost, not as people to be found, but as people who deserve their comeuppance, who need God's judgement rather than his mercy.  And, in that, we forget what the kingdom of God is all about. Brothers and Sisters, think on the mercy of God and rejoice.  Come to his Table this morning and be reminded that he sent his Son at great cost to seek out the lost and to restore us to the fold.  Here we see the faithfulness of God, a witness that has now brought you and I who were not even of that flock.  A witness that has brought us in awe and wonder and in faith to Jesus the Messiah—a faith by which the Father has welcomed us, too, into the sheepfold.  Rejoice in the mercies of God and carry that rejoicing to the lost that they, like us, might see and know themselves the mercies of God at work in Jesus. Let us pray: Grant us, Lord, we pray, to know your mercy and never to take your salvation for granted.  Make us faithful stewards of your mercies that we might rejoice as you do at the restoration of the lost; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

This week we're donning our Ray-Bans, sliding across the living room floor, and revisiting the film that launched Tom Cruise into superstardom — Risky Business (1983). Equal parts coming-of-age comedy, satire, and cautionary tale, it's a movie that defined a certain brand of 80s cool while slyly critiquing the era's obsession with wealth and success.Directed by Paul Brickman, Risky Business follows Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise), a high-achieving Chicago high school student left home alone while his parents are away. Initially envisioning a week of harmless fun, things spiral after a night with call girl Lana (Rebecca De Mornay) leads Joel into a world of escalating consequences, entrepreneurial schemes, and moral compromises.What begins as a teenage fantasy of freedom and rebellion becomes a sharply observed journey into adulthood — and a satire of the “make it big” mentality that fuelled the 80s.While it has that glossy 80s comedy appeal, Risky Business is far smarter and more cynical than it first appears. It's one of those films that teenage audiences might take at face value as a tale of freedom and rebellion, but adults will recognise as a sharp social critique. That said, it's very much an R-rated outing — so maybe not one for family movie night.In the end, Risky Business is more than just a star-making turn for Tom Cruise. It's a stylish, clever, and surprisingly subversive look at ambition, temptation, and the thin line between opportunity and exploitation.

August 10, 2025 God specializes in rewriting stories—no matter how they begin. Rahab's journey from a stained past to a place in the lineage of Jesus is a powerful reminder that His redemption changes lives, families, and futures. Sermon Highlights: Life Application:

Message from Steve Holt on 08/10/2025

My guest this week is Becca Jacobson who has a remarkable life story to share.. She's written a brave memoir which is called From Prostitute to Professor and summarises her journey of personal transformation so get ready to be inspired! In this episode: Becca entered the sex industry as an exotic dancer in her 20s while she was struggling with alcohol dependency. During this period her mom launched an escort agency and recruited Becca and her sister to work alongside her Although none of her family had attended college Becca was determined to pursue higher education and was accepted in 3 different colleges. She earned 3 degrees and taught English and Writing for 20 years. However the drinking continued and Becca reveals how shame, secrecy, and isolation kept her trapped in binge drinking for decades, even while functioning professionally. After 11 visits to detox and countless failed attempts to quit drinking her turning point came in 2018 after an 8-day blackout that led her to finally speak the truth and accept some help A detox center and an eight-week treatment program marked the beginning of her lasting recovery. We both agreed on the critical role of community in sobriety and the danger of trying to recover in isolation. It was only when Becca stopped hiding her problem and asked for help that things began to change. Journaling became a key tool in Becca's healing, eventually leading her to write and publish her memoir: Prostitute to Professor: A Guide to Radical Transformation. These days she encourages women to create space for self-reflection, and now offers virtual retreats and an 8-week coaching program for women over 40. Becca shares practical tips for women, including how to carve out time for themselves and establish boundaries during recovery. Today, she's passionate about helping women reclaim their lives, find purpose, and embrace sobriety with pride.

  Yesterdays video: Taco Bell is a secret to winning people to Christ. Sly of WIBA   HOSPITALITY: the practice of extending love, generosity, and kindness to others, especially strangers, as an expression of faith and a reflection of God's love THE GOAL: Strangers, into acquaintances into friends into people who feel like family into the family of God.     Sinners felt comfortable enough to be around Jesus.  He did not condone their behavior, but they felt his love regardless of their sinfulness.  Tax collectors felt comfortable around Jesus. Prostitutes felt comfortable around Jesus.  Lepers felt comfortable around Jesus.  Children felt comfortable around Jesus.  Women felt comfortable around Jesus.  Roman army commanders felt comfortable  The disciples felt comfortable   Hospitality - Hospital - Hospes = guest or stranger in need.  IF SOMEONE IS IN NEED PHYSICALLY WE SEND THEM TO A HOSPITAL. IF THEY ARE IN NEED SPIRITUALLY WE SHOULD SEND THEM TO HOSPITALITY.

Soon the lead of CCI investigator, Patrick Johnson, a retired U.S. Air Force Security Police Investigator found move victims of what was soon to be called The Prostitute Killer.Even though he eventually thought he knew who did the killings, along with an accomplice, it was not until the killer and accomplice died in a murder-suicide act.I was born in Santa Anna, CA January 3, 194,9 and raised in Monrovia and Duarte, CA.

Season 7 Episode 4 "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes."

Read the article.The Bible is replete with commands regarding the intersection of money and ministry: “Freely give” (Matt 10:8), don't be “peddlers of God's Word” (2 Cor 2:17), “you cannot serve God and money” (Matt 6:24), etc. Clearly, ministry is a task fraught with danger; it is no wonder James warns that not many should become teachers (James 3:1).Given these concerns, how are those who advance the Word of God to Christians to honor the Lord financially? They must guard against greed in their own hearts, but they also must demonstrate their good intentions before man (2 Cor 8:21). The work of ministry requires resources, but to charge the hearers a fee may solicit accusations of using godliness as a means of gain (1 Tim 6:5).One supposed remedy is to donate the profits. If someone receives none—or only a small amount—of the revenue, then they have at least demonstrated some level of generosity. In theory, this evidences a sincere heart that only desires to honor God.⁠sellingjesus.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thedoreanprinciple.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠copy.church⁠
